If you have ever been in the market to buy a home you know how difficult it is to see the forest through the trees so to speak. Going into a home that is outdated, full of clutter, and overall in bad shape can be difficult for those who do not have the imagination to envision what the home will look like with after a good cleaning and some renovation to modernize it.

If you look at a web site like a home, you can understand how important it is to keep it clean, de-cluttered, and modernized. Clutter and overall low functionality displayed by those web sites that have not come up to speed in terms of the technology available, will turn off those search engine spiders that are enlisted to crawl your site and many others. They are not human; they are computer generated and as such, they do not have the imagination to envision – much like that cluttered, out of date house – what your web site “might” look like underneath it all. Nor will they be at all interested in what the web site has to offer if they have to look around corners and under clutter to find it, so to speak.

Search engine optimization is a tricky business for web sites as it is; they need to be able to synthesize the products, information, and services they have to offer with the methods by which to attract the attention of the search engines. Content is king when it comes to search engine optimization and web sites work with SEO services to craft content that is informative and makes use of specially chosen keywords. But if the search engines are unable to sift through the clutter then the purpose of the content is lost.
