How Do SEO Companies Work? ; Cheap vs. Professional SEO Services

If you search for phrases like “keywords and backlinks in SEO”, a few ads appear at the top (these are paid ads, not organic rankings). One title reads, “Easy backlink strategy to place you on the first page of Google.” Another company states that they would “rank you high for cheap.” These kinds of SEO services focus solely on only a few elements of SEO, such as backlinks and meta-tags, but they appeal to small businesses due to their “cheap cost.”

With SEO/SEM services, you usually get what you pay for.

What Affects My Conversion Rate?

A conversion for your site can be just about anything. It can be getting someone to stay on your site for more than a specific period of time, it can be a lead generated by your site, it can be getting someone to sign up for an email subscription, or it can be an actual purchase . Your conversion rate refers to your ability to make those things happen – i.e. how many people visit your site versus how many of them convert(or do what you intended them to do).

How to Find Great Domain Names

Finding a great domain name to use is extremely difficult because all of the really good ones are already taken. You’re looking at jumping into the internet game 12 or more years too late. So, what can you do?

First of all, your strategy can’t be focused just on getting a great domain name. You have to focus on what you’re going to do with the site. Is it going to be an ecommerce site, is it going to be strictly informative, will it be a blog, or will it be something totally different? Once you’ve done some analysis, then you can decide how to proceed.

Newsletter Software; Pricing and Value

If you’ve decided to embark on an email newsletter marketing campaign, you might be considering investing in newsletter software to get the job done. However, this may not be the best way to spend your marketing dollars.

Newsletter software is automated and offers no flexibility. In the ever changing internet market, you need to be able to alter your newsletter each time you send it out to effectively reach your clients.

Searching YouTube for inspiration I stumbled on to the intro of the classic 1967 spider-man cartoon series. While watching I realized that the animation was very basic. It was the paper doll sort of animation that lends itself perfectly to css3. Hmmm… “I could something like that with a little css3″, I thought.

Users Are the Only Real Metrics That Matter

The most important metrics involve what users do once they land on your site. From a web development perspective, that is the key to making sales.

One thing that always bugs me is that when website owners and developers attempt to fix problems of a site, the solution they gravitate to is more search engine friendly than user friendly

Search engines don’t buy any products, or fill out lead forms, but people do. So designing a site that is search engine friendly should always come 2nd to designing a site that is user friendly.  Every site’s goal should be to please the end users first.
