How To Appear On The First Page Of Google Search Results

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

 

Once you create a website for your business, you quickly figure out that people are not flocking to it. When you assess the different ways of driving traffic, your options include advertising your website address, promoting your website address through Public Relations and gaining media coverage, encouraging other sites to link to you and getting placed in online directories.

However, these marketing activities will deliver small and sporadic volumes of traffic. The single biggest thing you can do to drive traffic is search engine marketing. Here is why: it is estimated that 80% of traffic to most websites comes from search engines. There are roughly 500 million searches performed everyday and 88% of that traffic comes from the top 4-5 search engines, Google, Yahoo, Ask and MSN. Of these, Google is by far the largest. Approximately 90% of people searching do not go past the third page of results and few go beyond the first page.

Therefore, if you want to drive traffic to your site it is imperative that you get onto the first three pages of Google and the other top search engines. Surprisingly, the majority of small businesses have not figured this out yet and for those who have, the majority are asking the question, How can I get my site to appear on the first page of Google search results?

Different Options

There are two main methods of appearing on the first page of search results.

Paid for results or Pay Per click (PPC)
This is where you pay to appear in the sponsored links section of the results page. In Google, this is at the top of the page and the right hand side. You decide which search keywords e.g. London restaurant, you would like to appear in. You appear in the search results and you pay for every user who clicks through to your site. The cost will vary by keyword and can range from 10p to several pounds or dollars per click, depending on how many other companies are bidding for that keyword.

Natural results achieved through SEO
Natural results are when you appear in the main list of results. You do not pay to appear or when a user clicks on your link. However, to appear on the first three pages of results, you need to implement a number of design and content changes to your website, which are termed Search Engine Optimisation or SEO.

Which is best?
Both have their merits, but natural results are by far the most preferable because once you have invested in SEO, you do not have to pay for the traffic that is generated.

PPC is a great solution if you:
Have just launched your website and you need immediate presence on the first page of result or if you have not yet successfully optimised your site to appear on the first page. Remember, there are thousands of websites all looking to appear on the first page of search results for certain keywords.

Spiders and Links: The Basics of How Search Engines Work

Without getting bogged down in the technical details of how search engines work, here are a few basics that you should be aware of.

Search engines want to ensure that the most relevant sites are displayed to customers who are searching for keywords e.g. London restaurants.

Each page is ranked by the search engine on different criteria.

Each search engine uses different criteria when calculating the ranking of the site, but there are some commonalities such as:
Automated Spiders are sent by the search engine to index each page on your site. These spiders log the content of your site. This allows the search engine to know whether the key words that a user is searching for appear within your site and on specific web pages. However, in addition, the search engines have decided that it is not sufficient to simply have the keywords appear in the site. They believe that the most useful and relevant sites for the person who is searching are those which have a lot of other relevant sites linking to it.

The important points you should take out are:
You want to make it as easy as possible for the spiders to visit and index your site.
You need to have relevant keywords on your site that are easily found by the spiders.
You need to have many other sites linking to your site.

Four Components of SEO

In order to optimise your website to appear in natural search results, there are four components that you will need to address.

1. Design: What to do when designing your website

Many small businesses make the mistake of designing their website and then start thinking about driving traffic to it. The problem is that the way you design your site can result in your site being ignored by the search engine spiders, which means you will receive very little traffic. When designing your site, ensure you avoid the following pitfalls and ask your marketing agency to confirm that they have been avoided.

Avoid flash sites
Sites are designed in HTML or flash codes. The spiders that are sent to your site by the search engines cannot read flash.

No frames
Some agencies design sites within frames. For example, the menu on the left might be within a frame and the main body of the page within another frame. It makes designing the site easier as the only thing that changes from page to page is the content within the frame. However, spiders cannot read what is inside a frame so you will not get indexed and noticed by search engines.

No dynamic pages
Some sites are developed with a database which generates dynamic pages. You can tell if there are dynamic pages on your site if there is a ? within the page URL. Again, most but not all of the search engines can read dynamic pages.

Text within graphics
To ensure text is read uniformly by different browsers, design agencies often put text within a graphic. It looks great, however, a spider cannot read what text is in a graphic and simply moves on.

Keywords
At design stage, think about the keywords you want to be found by on search engines and incorporate that into your design. For example, if you were to design your site so that a page was allocated to the most popular keywords, it would be easier to include more keywords on the page which would be found by the spiders.

2. Content: What to do when developing your content

Keywords

Choosing the keywords that you want to appear in search results for is one of the most important things you can do. Think of it as planning the location for a physical shop. Choosing keywords that people search for a lot (i.e. generates a lot of potential traffic) and then ensuring that those keyword are peppered around your site (i.e. more chance that the spiders will index them giving you a good chance of appearing high in search results) could result in your being positioned on Oxford street as opposed to a back alley.

Invest time in choosing the keywords. Think about how you would search for your product or service. If you are running a restaurant, you should immediately think beyond the generic search keyword of restaurant and consider descriptive keywords such as seafood restaurant or family restaurant. You also need to think of target keywords, so consider London restaurant or London seafood restaurant.

Once you have decided on your keywords, you need to place them throughout your site. The main areas are:

Web page title
This is what you see written in the title bar of the browser. It is also what you see when you bookmark a page. This should explain what the purpose of your site or your page is and include keywords, but always in such a way that makes sense to a user who reads it.

Meta tags
The tags are not visible to users but they explain what the content of the page is. Keywords should be placed in here as they are easily searchable by spiders.

Homepage content
Your homepage is searched by the spiders and you should ensure that your keywords appear near the top header. They should also be sprinkled throughout the homepage. See keyword density for guidance on this.

Keyword density
A question often asked is how many times your keywords should appear on a page. The guidance for SEO is that each page should have a minimum of 250 words; your keywords should account for 2 - 8% of the word on the page. That means they should appear between 4 and 16 times.

Two important points to bear in mind are:
1. You need to balance the need to write your copy for your users, in order to sell your product, and the need to write your copy for search engines, in order to be found.
2. To help you achieve both objectives you should focus on a couple of keywords for each page rather than a large number.

3. Links

Inbound links are key
To combat a lot of sites achieving high page ranking by simply stuffing their sites with keywords, the search engines have placed a higher weighting on the value of the number of sites which link into a site. The rationale is that if a site is linked to by lots of other sites, then it must be offering popular and relevant content.

Therefore, your site might be designed in a way that is easily searchable by spiders and your content might be sprinkled with keywords, but you need to have other sites linking to you in order to achieve success.

Audit your links
Ensure you know how many other websites are linking into your site and set a goal for increasing that figure. You should have at least 100 quality links.

How to get links
There are many creative ways to generate links to your site:
Ask friends, customers or suppliers to link to your site.
Post comments on forums or discussion groups with a link back to our site.
Register your site with sites such as stumbleupon and if users like your site, they will bookmark it, creating a link to your site.
Issue an online press release which should result in online media coverage and links back to your site.
Register your site with multiple directories.

4. Maintenance:

Once you achieve a high ranking in the search engines, it is important to realise that you need to maintain your ranking. The criteria the search engines use in the algorithms constantly change and what works today may not work next week. Your site will need to be tweaked to bring you back up the rankings

7 Website Design Tips to Make your Site More Attractive

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

 

“How can I attract thousands of visitors to my site?”, many people ask me this question. Well, driving high traffic to Website is very important, but what’s even more important, is designing a website in that way which makes them stays longer.

In this article, you’re going to learn 7 important website design tips to make your site more attractive. So not only your website will attract many people, but it will also motivate them to stay for a long time.

1. Be Aware during Selection of the colours scheme:-

If your company has a logo or preferred colours on its stationery that’s a good start. For those of you starting from scratch, choose two or three complementary colours and stick with them – don’t change colours on every page. The most common colour schemes include:

- Red, yellow and white

- Blue and white

- Red, grey and white

- Blue, orange and white

- Yellow, grey and white.

- Onion shade, Tan, white

If you’re not sure what colour scheme to choose, surf the internet and find a website that you like. You can then model your colour scheme on what already exists.

Always Select those colours which Attract the visitors, and the person revisit your site.

2. Page Backgrounds

Ensure your visitors can read the text on the background, i.e. no black writing on dark blue background or yellow on white. Means if the page background is dark always use light colour for the writhing a text or if the light colour is used for the page background the always use dark colour for writing a text, like this colour scheme for the background everything is visible to the visitor. Also be careful that your links are visible before and after being visited. The default for links in most programs is blue (before being visited) and burgundy (after being visited), so if you have a dark background, ensure your links are light.

3. (Page loading) site open within a minutes

All I’ve seen for the last 10 minutes is ‘page loading’, I think something might be wrong with my browser this is probably one of the biggest gripes a site visitor has. If your page takes more than a minute to load (on dial-up) and you have anything less than the meaning of life hidden within your content - something needs to be done. The average person does not have time they just go for another site without passed his time for these type of site those take time to open. So a good website takes less time for loading a site.

4. Appropriate page Size

Web pages are measured in pixels. Pixels are the unit of measurement for the screen. A Web page can literally be any size. Standard Web pages usually fit into a few sizes:

* W × H * 600 × 800 * 640 × 480 (Dream weaver default) * 1024 × 768 * 550 × 400 (Flash default)

The default Web page sizes provided in Web friendly applications and listed earlier are a great place to start. You will probably use a smaller, custom size for pop-up windows. The Web page size you choose is up to you. Remember to use actual space for the Web page effectively so that the content is in the proper proximity to the user’s navigation patterns. Web page size affects the way users move around the Web pages and the Web portfolio site. One rule: Pick a size for all main screens and stick to it.

5. Logo

Create a simple logo to identity your website. Have a captivating tag line somewhere with the header, and write an About us page which describes the uniqueness of your website. These will leave an impression for your visitors to remember your website.

6. Application of graphic designs

you must be careful in choosing for the appropriate design that will best represent your projects, and tell about your business. Create a design which coveys in a stylish way what it has to

7. Be aware about grammar and spell

Grammar is overrated [and the spill-checker too] Most web authoring and word processing software comes with a spell/grammar check utility - don’t let your hard earned money go to waste, use it. Some of the more common grammatical mistakes are misusing its, it’s, there, their, they’re, your, you’re, and noone (correct=no one). Proof reading your final product is also helpful. No one is infallible, that’s why pencils have erasers and computer programs have [ctrl+z].

 

Top Tips From Davill Design

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

 

There is no clear formula for a perfect website. Although Web design companies differ in their approach to design, they agree on key principles that make a successful website. When a company is looking to design their website, a question that often comes to mind is what are the main issues that should be considered? Of course there is no straightforward answer to this question. The needs of every business is different. Website design should reflect the unique needs. Nevertheless certain web design techniques can be applied generally across any website. Some of the key design tips are discussed below.

1: Modern, Professional design.

There are more than 40 million websites in the world and the number is rising. A professionally designed website is essential to present your brand over your competitors. There is nothing worse than an outdated website for your company which cam mis-represent your brand. A professional, clean-cut website is vital for customers to have confidence in a company.

2: Clean-cut design and simple site navigation

The current trend in website design is for a clutter free simple design with a clean cut layout. Sites which are cluttered tend to draw users away. It is important that it not only looks professional but that the information presented is easy to read and understand. Navigation and menu should be prominent and descriptive. A simple but clear menu is often more effective than complex navigation.

3: Consistency in design

Your website’s design, layout and colour scheme should be consistent across the different pages. Whilst It is OK to have slight variation between various sections , the overall look and feel should be consistent.

4: Browser compatibility

All pages should appear consistent across different platforms and screen resolutions. Prior to launch your web design company should test the website thoroughly on all major browsers such as Internet explorer, Firefox and Opera. At the least.

5: Focus on website content

Content is the most important aspect of your website. A professional design is essential but it is the content which will ultimately generate enquiries and leads for your business. All content should be professionally written and proof-read. Additionally new relevant content should be added form time to time.

6: Effective use of ‘Call to action’

Call to action statements on all your website can greatly improve your website’s effectiveness and increase the chances of customer enquiries and leads. ‘Call to action’ can be anything that encourages action or participation from users e.g. Click here to Enquire or Register for our free newsletter. Many Marketing studies have found that call to action to greatly improve the chances for enquiries and leads.

7: Quick to load

No mater how small or large your company is, the site should be quick to load. Many users access internet via slower connections or on mobile devices where bandwidth and speed is limited. Studies show that a website that takes longer that a few seconds to load can drive customers away to competitors.

8: Get Ideas from competitors

Analyzing and learning from competitors is probably the best way to find how you can improve your website. It is easy to search for competitors in your industry using search engines. Researching other businesses can offer inspiration as well as help identify areas for improvement.

Using Research To Keep Your Internet Marketing Business Competitive

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Success rarely comes automatically to an internet business. It is still the result of hard work and careful planning. And planning requires research. Part of what makes an internet marketing venture profitable is a well-thought-out strategy of how to attract clients and promote the product effectively. Otherwise, the business could end up floating without direction in the wide expanse of the web.

Research is key to a successful internet marketing business, but like any other marketing tool, it is only effective if used well. Here’s how:

Know your market
Going into internet marketing blind is like trying to pop balloons with darts in the dark. You might hit some and feel lucky, but probability very rarely favors the players. Just go to Las Vegas any day and you’ll see why casinos still stand.

Since almost anything can be sold online nowadays, going in without knowing who to sell to is a waste of time and effort. Do some research on what internet surfers like, what kind of sites they are attracted to and most importantly, what kind of stuff they actually buy. Positioning your product or service using this information can do wonders for your revenue.

Know your competitor.
Internet marketing is much like traditional marketing, in that you also need to know how and what your product stands against. It’s easy to be carried away by the promise that internet marketing is for everyone and marketers can just ignore their environment. This is a fatal mistake.

If your product has to stand out, you will need to do research on what makes it different from everything else. And that involves a little sleuthing on your part. Get to know your competitors, their products and their market. Find out how they promote and sell, how much traffic they get and why and then use this information to better tailor your product and keep it at par or better, a cut above the rest.

Keep the traffic in your direction
If you know what makes surfers tick, you can take a look at your site and your promotion tools and see if what you’re doing currently is right or a total waste of time. You might need to do a little site tweaking, add freebies like shareware and ebooks and revamp your marketing concept to come up with a site and product that people actually want to check out and buy.

To do this, you will have to make yourself visible on the net. Use articles and provide links to your site, offer useful information and tips, even free stuff. If your site is worth visiting, it will attract more people who will come back and actually stay to check things out.

Keep content fresh and relevant
To keep abreast with the changing demands, you will need to keep your site look brand new on a regular basis. Publish new contents to add to your site and keep your old info and articles in an easy to browse archive. Writing new articles or publishing new product photos and ads not only keep your site from looking stale, it will also do well to optimize it for search engines. You have a better chance of popping up high on a search engine list if your content is not only optimized, but new as well.

Keep up with trends
Markets do change and it is quite rare to see a product or service remain in its original state and still be a bestseller, unless it’s Coke or Dove, and those don’t rely on the internet to get sold. As more and more people use the internet for information and business, internet marketers need to use research to see and accept that trends come and go and adapting is not really compromise - it’s survival and a keen marketing strategy.

Finding the right pack to hunt with
Lone wolves do survive in the increasingly competitive world of internet marketing and many of them have been successful with their venture. However, finding the right circle to associate your business with could also work to your advantage. Remember how networking is still a highly effective strategy in traditional business? It works just as well online.

But as an internet marketer, you must be careful where you put your money in, since association with some bigger names and inclusion in well-browsed directories can cost a few dollars. This is where you will need to do a little background research on possible partnerships to find out which is the more profitable one to have.

Web Design is to Create a Website Having Interactive Features!

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Web designing is not a simple HTML (Hypertext Markup language) or CSS (Cascading Style Sheets); it is much more than it. Basically it is a conceptual process in which research, discussion, planning, implementation, and finally, evaluation of electronic media is done via various technologies such as markup languages like HTML which are interpreted and displayed by a web-based graphical user interfaces (GUIs) or any other web browser.

The main purpose of web design is to create a website having interactive features and interfaces known as content that is presented to the end user as web pages when requested. For more details go to: www.google-friendly-page.com Elements such as images (GIFs, JPEGs, and PNGs), text, colors, tables and forms can be placed on the page using HTML, XHTML, or XML tags. Displaying more complex media (vector graphics, animations, videos, sounds) usually requires plug-ins such as Flash, QuickTime, Java run-time environment, etc.

Typically web pages are classified as static or dynamic.

• Static pages are those which do not change structure, content and layout with every request unless a web master or a programmer manually updates the page.

• Dynamic pages are those which change their content and appearance depending on the end-user’s input or interaction or changes in the computing environment (user, time, database modifications, etc.) We can even change contents on the client side or on end-user’s computer by using client-side scripting languages like JavaScript, and Script, etc. Dynamic content is often compiled and executed on the server through server-side scripting languages like ASP, PHP, Perl, JSP, Python, etc.

Basic Aspects of Design

Depending on the goals of the website and the audience, the website’s requirements and aspects of design changes. For typical commercial websites, the four main basic aspects of design are:

-What kind of content will be required to meet our goals?
The content: The substance and information on the website should be relevant to the website and should target the section of the public that the website is concerned with.

-What kind of look should the website have?
The appearance: the graphics and text should include a single style that flows throughout, to show consistency. The style should be professional, appealing and relevant.

-What kind of visibility should the website have?
The visibility: the website must be easy to find via most of the major search engines and advertisement media. For can visit to: www.15-ways-to-boost-website-response.com
What kind of usability should the website have?
-The usability: the website should be user-friendly, with the interface and navigation simple and reliable.

For accessible web design, web pages and websites must follow certain accessibility principles like:

• Use sitemaps for proper navigation through the website.
• Use semantic markup that provides a significant structure to the web page.
• Provide suitable hierarchy among different web pages.
• Use a valid markup language like HTML that is supported by all the browsers.
• Provide text alternates for any non-text components like images, multimedia etc.
• Use hyperlinks that make sense when read out of context.
• Use CSS file rather than HTML tags for design and layout.

The website is an information system whose components are sometimes classified as front-end and back-end. Front-end is the observable content e.g. page layout, user interface, graphics, text, audio while the back-end comprises the organization and efficiency of the source code, invisible scripted functions, and the server-side components process output from the front-end.

How To Build Great Links For Your Web Site

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

 

Building effective links is one of the most time consuming and challenging aspects of web site design. Ultimately, link building can spell the difference between a high search engine ranking web page and one that disappears in a sea of similar web sites, so it is best to take the time to do it right.

There are certainly newer search engine algorithms being developed for the web but effective linking continues to be the most decisive factor in search engine optimization and will likely be for several years more.

Links as the name implies, are the most basic connectors to all the pages on the Interent and is the easiest way for a given application to gauge the relevance and integrity of a web page.

People love lists; find a way to integrate a list into your site. This can be anything from a list of tips or things to avoid or a list suggested reading, for example. Lists give the impression of being a definitive source of information and many people will want to link to them.

Often people will link to a site if they feel that it is an authority on a given subject; they will then feel confident about recommending that site to other people. That is what link building is all about after all, a sort of digital referral or stamp of approval.

Every web site should strive to have reliable and well-researched content. Try to keep your content informative but simple; if no one can understand what your web site says they probably won’t want to link to it! Check your text for spelling or grammatical errors; a web site riddled with poor spelling and bad sentence construction doesn’t seem very professional or authoritative.

Online news sites are a good way to establish links. Some of the things you can do are: submit an article for online publication or syndicate an article with a news site. Reputable sites usually enjoy a high search engine rank for their articles and receive plenty of traffic. You may also send press releases or trade articles with other sites…or even write an article about another site and ask then to link back to your site; most will be happy to repay the favor.

Establish contacts with the Better Business Bureau or the Chamber of Commerce in your area or the relevant city and state government offices. You may even look around closer to home by submitting your link to the local library or exchanging links with local businesses in your area; even non-competing businesses in the same field.

Consider starting an affiliate program; it may not lead directly to high SEO value but it can still prove useful in providing additional links.

Submit your site to directories that allow free submissions such as DMOZ (http://dmoz.org) or even paid directories. You can even take this a step further by creating your own directory of similar web sites. You can obviously link to your own site here and even include other important pages in addition to the home page. Quality listings are important here so if it is a useful directory to the most number of people, it will easily attract links.

You may want to post a link to your site in classifieds sites such as Craigslist or if you belong to user groups like Yahoo and Google groups it is often acceptable to post links to your site if you are asking or answering a question. Just make sure it is in the context of the discussion, as most people do not take kindly to being spammed.

Reviews are another great way to get people to link to your site. If you have a reputable looking site and carry informative, well-written reviews, there’s a good chance that your articles will receive high search engine rankings. Try to keep your reviews on-topic, informative and thorough, and be specific whenever possible.

Blogging has become an integral part of the Internet and is one of the most effective means of linking; you can either drop a few words of comment on someone’s blog or link to them from your own blog. Most blogs will be happy to link back to you. Try to update your blog regularly and post interesting content so people will want to link to you.

If your budget permits, explore the possibility of hiring a professional web-linking publicist (yes they do exist!) or consultant for your web site. If you choose carefully this will free you up to take care of other areas of your web site and leave the details of link building to the experts.

Those are a few things to do to create good links, what about things you should avoid? These methods will actually hurt your visibility on the web as it may cause search engines to ban your site or ignore it altogether!

Do not spam forums! Nobody likes a spammer and can usually tell if someone joins a discussion forum for the sole purpose of self-promotion. A sure way to annoy people is to post a non-relevant reply to a question and then include a link…or worse not even answer the question at all!

Choose carefully when submitting your site to directory services; a poor one won’t help increase your traffic at all and may carry out-of-date or off topic links.

When asking someone to link to your site, make sure that there is a good reason why he should; maybe your site is similar to his own in subject matter or your site showcases him, his products or his web site in a favorable light.

Take the time to compose a polite, well written personal request for linking. It doesn’t have to be long but the important thing is to make it seem like a genuine request as opposed to an impersonal, automated email. Do not pester a Webmaster with several, persistent emails; it is annoying and will not likely help your cause any. If you don’t get a reply, move on.

Web Page Design Tool for VW Camper Vans

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

 

If you are looking for a web page design tool then there are a few things you will need figure out, such as:

How experienced you are in web page design
What is the purpose of the web page you’ll be designing
How detailed will your page need to be
How experienced you are using HTML editors
What kind of a budget are you working with

If you don’t have experience use wordpress like VW Camper Vans. How experienced you are in web page design? I ask this because some web page design tools are built for the novice while others are built for the experienced. As you might imagine a web page design tool for the more experienced will have many more features than those that are created for the beginning web page designer.

If you are new to designing a web page then they are many things you will need to learn about how a web page is laid out and the things you can do with a web page. My suggestion for the novice is to find a web page design tool that provides step by step instructions and allows you to point and click to design your web page.

Next we have to decide why we are building a web page. Though this seems like a silly question it makes a difference in whether we can use a simple web page design tool or if we need one with more tools and options. Most of the web page design tools provided by many of the internet service providers are find for a simple profile type web page, but if you are going to use your web page to make money over the internet then you will need a web page design tool that is a bit more sophisticated.

That brings us to our next point, how detailed will our web page need to be. Again, if you are just starting out and you don’t have a whole lot going on your page then you can use a very simple web page design tool versus a complicated HTML editor.

If you don’t have much experience then you will want to find a web page design tool that is simple to use yet will allow you to create a professional looking page. Most web page design tool or HTML editors will require a basic knowledge of HTML code and how to lay out a web page, if you are brand knew to building a web page then you’re going to have to either spend some time studying HTML code or find a step by step type web page design tool. In the beginning I would suggest starting off with the simpler web page design tool then work your way into the more complex ones after you have some experience building web pages.

Cost is another issue to consider. A web page design tool price will range from free to a few hundred dollars. A warning about free web page design tools, most of the ones you find will have many limitations and you will soon find yourself looking from a new program. But there is also no reason to go out and purchase the most expensive web page design tool out there. You can find a number of them at a very reasonable price that will do everything you will need to do.

Remember, when choosing a web page design tool think about how much help you will need, how detailed your web page will be and what your budget is. Happy Web Page Designing.
