I have been totally swamped over since the last post and have managed to completely ignore this website. My bad, but we must all prioritise, right? Anyway, having noticed a slow but steady decline in traffic to this website I decided that the least I can do is add a quick post. The topic? Simple, the very issue that brings me here to write this post. How often should a website be updated? Content is Bling, or as is commonly described in the SEO’s world, content is king.

Why is SEO so Important?

Ohmz — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 12:06:06 +0000

SEO is about improving the ranking of your web site and by designing it in such a way that it will appear higher in the SERPs (Search Engine’s Results Pages). A website that’s optimised for the SERPs can reap huge benefits for your web site and for your business.

Search engines often overlook what you might assume are some of the web’s best pages. Just think of the tools many designers use to make web pages exciting. Great illustrations, stunning photos, animation and emoting music. Throw them all onto your pages and the world’s most important web ’spiders’ might just crawl right past you. Read the rest »

A good web site will have quality content, good navigation and strong branding to help achieve it’s goals. Acquiring links should be an important one of those goals and if your web site achieves the kind of quality standards your visitors expect, some of your visitors will want to link to you. Go above and beyond the visitors’ expectations and you’re really talking business. This is clear, so what I will focus on here is how you can outreach more effectively by taking control of the kind of inbound links you can benefit most from.

SEO can be very time consuming but doing a simple thing like ensuring you add relevant title meta tags to all of your pages is an extremely valuble investment. Most small businesses or individual web site publishers simply do not have the time to ensure their web site(s) are optimized head-to-toe, not without an SEO professional, not with a website which is any larger than 10 pages and certainly not if you are running your own blog pages allong-side of a full-time job. If there were only time to do one thing for your website’s SEO and one thing alone, I would recommend treating yourself to well thought-out title tags. Read the rest »

We will look at some of the things you must be aware of from the very start, before the website design phase even begins. We wouldn’t want to kill SEO (Search Engine Optimization) opportunities at this stage; nobody likes doing the same job twice and if the information architecture is tainted, that’s exactly what you will end up needing to do. I’ve seen it happen; many times over. Read the rest »

What are SERPs

A Search Engine results page, or SERP, is the listing of web pages returned by a Search Engine in response to a keyword query. The results normally include a list of web pages with titles, a link to the page, and a short description showing where the keywords have matched content within the page. Some of the major search engines also provide a link to their own cached version of the page, which they store locally on their own servers for reference. A SERP may refer to a single page of links returned, or to the set of all links returned for a search query. Read the rest »

Search Engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” (”organic” or “algorithmic”) search results.
