Search Engine results pages don't look the same as they did a few years ago. While websites still show up in the native results, the variety of of those results has increased dramatically.  A typical search page may include a blog posts, Facebook links, forums, videos, postings about promotions and events, and wiki entries.

The path to optimizing a website no longer runs exclusively through meta tags and home page content.  User generated content is creating a whole new world of options that search engines are using to validate their search results.  By providing a variety of relevant, indexable content to the search engines, you can increase your online visibility.

Concourse Connect provides a number of options to start a community that not only provides brand promotion or customer support, but also give a whole new meaning to search engine optimization.  Major search engines are indexing everything and customers are looking for you everywhere.

Great point. ConcourseConnect was developed and designed with many key-factors in mind - one of which being Organic Search Engine Optimization.

Customers can rest assure knowing that not only do they have a great product to help build and manage a Social Network, but that they will benefit from sound, good code and proven techniques for increasing online visibility through search engine optimization.
