Best Website Content

Best Website Content Now let's talk about developing content for various pages of your site. Create content for the sake of sharing the best information. Don't think of key phrases while writing for any page of your website. Just focus on the message, the products, the services, customer's benefit, etc. Leave the rest to search engine spiders. If your content is relevant, spider will assess it on its own; it will also index your entire website from the page it has reached if the site is easy to navigate and SEO friendly. So understand that targeted traffic is what your website needs; and that search engines crawlers are highly advanced software; perfectly capable of finding, assessing, and ranking sites for different key-phrases and sentences based on various factors. Your job is to understand and believe in your product or service and write compelling and yet original copy for your target audience. Remember that website with original content ...

Too Many Images on a Site Considered Anti-SEO

Too Many Images on a Site Considered Anti-SEO You should notice that search engines are not able to see the images contents. They can only see texts. Even when you search for an image with Google Images, it doesn't list the images based on the images contents and what images have in their body. All the images are listed there based on the keywords/phrases found around them on the web pages, the image alt tag content, and also through the image file name which can contain keyword/phrase. Therefore, if a website content is mainly on the images and flash files, the search engines will have a hard time to understand what the website is all about, and where it has to be ranked and indexed. The website loading speed is another important thing that has to be considered. Visuals do make your site look good, but excess of them can kill it. I have seen some websites, especially related with tourism which become very heavy with images and end up losing its visi...

Why Your Website Should Go Mobile

Why Your Website Should Go Mobile I was riding public transit the other day. I glanced up after sending an email from my iPhone and saw passengers toiling away either on their Apple, Android, or Blackberry device. There wasn't a newspaper in sight. After disembarking I entered a café for a quick latte and witnessed tables full of patrons on iPads and various tablets without one laptop in the vicinity. I made my way from the café and entered my building where I hopped on the elevator with others. As soon as the doors closed we bowed our heads (as if we had entered sacred ground) to scroll through our smartphones to pass the seconds it took to arrive at our respective floors. An hour later, in the gym, my cardio session was distracted by fellow fitness enthusiasts who perched themselves on treadmills and stationary bikes, not clutching bottles of water, but mobile internet devices. The revolution has not been televised, it has gone mobile. How...

Reasons to have a Mobile Website

Reasons to have a Mobile Website The iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tablet and Kindle Fire entered the market a few years ago and triggered off a craze in all parts of the world. Urban consumers gave up their older phones for these 'smart' phones. Each new version incorporates the latest technology and brings new features. Studies have forecasted that 70% of Internet users will spend more time on their mobile phones than their desktops and laptops. By 2014, they will access the Internet using some sort of mobile device because this allows them to stay connected wherever they may be. Internet browsing is a totally different experience on a mobile device. If the same website designed for a desktop or laptop is used for mobiles, it doesn't mean that the user experience will be the same.

Given these stratospheric statistics, it is safe to say that at least some of your current website users are visiting on their mobile phones.

It therefore pays to be as informed (and flexible) as possible when developing your site.
