Web Design University

Web Design University

I found a wonderful new web design course operated by the good people from iThemes. They have a ton of information they present on a variety of design topics and also have some very good information on actually running your business too. I found the videos on how to use Firefox add-ons very helpful and easy to understand. Best part is many of these tools are free and can be quickly obtained. They are giving a ton of advice on using WordPress to not only build a Blog, but as a Company or personal website. This was one area of great interest to me and I found many shortcuts and excellent advice in setting up WordPress to work well with SEO.

One topic that went into excellent detail was Branding. I know that many users can benefit from this and how important it can be to the success of your Blog or Business.

The site is easy to use and the recordings and videos are professionally produced. I joined with the yearly membership option and know I already have received training that is more valuable than the price of the membership and I’m only in the second month.

Two Easy Steps to Effective SEO Marketing

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

In order for your business to succeed you need to create as much awareness as possible. Traditionally this was called “market penetration,” and it has more recently been also named “web visibility.” No matter what you call it, it still means the same thing: that you need to let consumers know about the benefits of using your business. The more satisfied customers you have, the more successful you become.

Search Engine Optimization has been a key component to most internet marketing strategies over the past several years. Although it is a very simple concept, there are many particular peculiarities that you need to understand in order to launch an effective strategy. While submitting your page information to the myriad search engine companies allows your page to be indexed and accessed during a search inquiry, that doesn’t necessarily mean that your site will be easy to find.
First of all, you want to make sure that the page contents of your site are fresh and high in quality. Many people just reproduce the same stuff they find on other sites, regardless of its quality. This does not improve your site rating, and it will actually decrease user motivation to return to your site. People want to read interesting content that is also insightful and entertaining. Relevant pictures, music, and video help too.

You will also want to make sure that you use high-yield keywords. All SEOs operate on keyword density, meaning that an inquiry always relies heavily on exact word matches. This is why you need to write a decent sized article that contains a small percentage of keywords that will appeal to the search engine web crawlers. Having a unique and relevant title also helps.

Super Green Web Hosting - Beware!

Posted by: admin | Comments (4)

I just received this note from one of our readers.  “After seeing the link on your website, I decided to sign up with Super Green Web Hosting. I found their rates good and decided to go for the three year term and paid upfront via PayPal. Their site advertises “Instant Activation” which could not be further from the truth.  After waiting 14 hours, I contacted their online chat and was informed that my account would be live in a couple of hours. Not true. I waited an additional 8 hours with no welcome e-mail then contacted the online support.  After waiting a few minutes a rep came online and asked the domain I signed up with.  This was the same question the earlier rep had asked and it was in the form when you start the chat.  After checking for a few minutes he came back and wanted to know If  I had received a phone call or e-mail for account verification. I told him I had received two e-mails and I had replied to them right away.  He informed me my account was on hold and he needed all of my information and he would forward it to the billing department.  I became very uncomfortable with this style of business and told the rep this.  He then asked the same question about the additional information with I felt was not reasonable sending over a non-sure chat service.

I then asked to cancel the registration and refund my PayPal account as I was going to another host. He never replied and I have been forced to open a PayPal dispute. It is now 48 hours later and Super Green Hosting has not replied to my PayPal dispute and they still have my money.  I have researched a bit more and found that they have a Sister Company Justhost.com  I will not give this Company or any Company associated with Super Green Web Hosting my business in the future.

I just wanted to warn your readers of the terrible service I received from this outfit.”

Search engine optimization (SEO), result of a natural search, is a process by which quality and volume of traffic is improved to a particular website. A website receives more visitors only if it appears earlier in the search result list. SEO as an internet market strategy considers what is being searched by people and how is it done by search engine. To increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove indexing activities barriers, a website is optimized by editing its content and HTML.

Most of writers don’t have an idea to write Search Engine Optimization articles and how to your articles can get more exposure on the internet. One method of getting exposure to your articles is to write them with some back links and submit to different directories. You get advantage with these back links as you can make people to visit the web page you want them to do so. Remember to use the web page you want to be visited, not your webpage, as many people do it by mistake.

Improvement of your article in search article listing with back link is one way of getting traffic to your website. On the other hand, article itself can get improved in search listing. Your articles can be listed on the first pages if they prove to be worthy of it.

The core of SEO writing is to use the words that naturally appear in your website relevant to article. It doesn’t mean density of a particular word but the use of the word related to that word called synonyms.  Suppose you want to write an article about prawns. In order to optimize it to the best of your abilities, it is not a good idea to write the word prawn only with high density.  Rather, find some synonyms for the word “prawn” in dictionary or thesaurus like shrimps, shellfish and crustacean etc and use them in your article. That’s what means to SEO your web page and get more exposure to your web page. You can use this technique for any keyword for your SEO article.
To get more exposure to your SEO article, make it useful and educational for the reader. The purpose of the article should not be to write for SEO only but to get attention and interest of the readers. The articles that are written for SEO only, are worthless in fact. Online writing companies have made it easy for the webmasters to buy SEO articles of their relevant topic.  Some companies provide better SEO article writing services better than others. Always make sure to get your article written by the companies which have necessary skills of writing SEO articles.

After writing SEO article yourself or get it written by an online company, you have to submit it to article directories, free or commercial. It will be published by a publisher if he gets interested in it. Always choose a right category while submitting your article.

As e-commerce continues to grow, companies need to have effective internet marketing strategies so they can capitalize on the nearly endless traffic of consumers that log on every day.  SEO articles are the most common form of internet marketing because they are simple, effective, and can cost you nothing if you write them yourself.  Here are a few tips to remember when you start to write your own SEO articles.

First of all, you need to have a catchy, but unique title.  Even if your topic is somewhat common, you’ll need to find an attractive title that has never been used before.  This will help search engines find you without lumping you in with all the other articles that are similar to yours.  Your title should be 6 to 8 words long and consist of an interesting, but relevant, combination of words.  You can easily find out how common your title is by simply typing it into a search engine and seeing how many results pop up.  If your title is popular, you might be able to alter it slightly by adding words at the beginning or the end.  This will maintain the integrity of what is obviously a strong keyword phrase while separating it from the masses.

Secondly, you need to make sure that you use the right keywords in the body of your articles.  You can use free tools like Google Adwords Keyword Tool to get a list of suggested keywords that pertain to your topic.  This will help you get started on your article.  Articles should be no more than 800 words with a keyword ratio of 5-6 mentions, or 2-4% ratio.  An average article is around 500 words.  Overloading your articles can actually damage your rating and even remove you from search engine indexes entirely.  Be sure to learn all the abbreviations and versions of short-cuts for your coding too, since no two sites are the same.

Also, learn a bit about the different ways to link your site to the article, which will always result in bringing more traffic.
Finally, proofread.  Though this seems very obvious, this is also the most overlooked.  You will be surprised how one simple misspelling or syntax error can severely affect your index score.  Web users are particular about grammar and relevance and the appearance and flow of your article will affect its popularity, so give it a good look over before you send it to the virtual presses.

Beginning Blogging

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Blogging is everywhere in today’s world. It seems that no matter what site you visit online, you will find some sort of online blog. There are comments and blogs about everything everywhere online.


The best way to think of the definition of a ‘blog’ would be a virtual diary. This diary is one that instead of being written on paper would be kept online and could be visible for everyone to read. There are ways that you can restrict the amount of people and who is able to read your entries. A blog can be written in as often as you would like. You can do entries daily or you can update them once a week. It is basically up to you and how often you want your readers and followers to be updated with the newest saga that is going on in your life. You can also have family blogs. Where your followers can follow what you are going to do and what you are doing with your family. This is a simple and easy way to keep your family members up to date with your latest news between family members.

Many will argue that because of the online industry, between e-mails and blogs, our own postal service is dwindling slowly. You can tell the need for money has increased for our postal service since the price of stamps has been on the rise having several cost increases each year. The need for “Snail Mail” as it is referred to is no longer needed as now we can have our bills e-mailed to us and we can pay our bills online. The same would be said for blogs. These would be the same as books. Or e-books as they are commonly referred to as. This can also go so far as to say that we are becoming more environmentally friendly with e-mails and e-books. Neither of these has to be printed on paper. And better yet, there are now devices that you can purchase where you can download books onto the hard drive of this device and read the book at your leisure. There is still an exchange of money for the book, yet the publisher will be able to cut costs because it will not have to send as many copies of the book to print.

When it comes down to it, blogging can be a very useful tool and very good for communications. We have come a long way in communications and because of this, our planet seems to get smaller and smaller each day. There are still days out there that will put today’s communication skills to dust.Pretty soon we’ll be able to communicate in new ways, ways that will seem like they should be in a science fiction movie. But until then, let’s get blogging!

If you have a website from which you wish to profit, you want it to be as attractive to the major search engines as possible. The more relevant your site looks to a search engine, the higher your ranking, and the more traffic will get to your site.

While traffic numbers are important, they aren’t the whole story. If that were the case everyone would put porn on their site to maximize the traffic. No, to rank well with search engines and float up to the top of their rankings, you not only have to have quantity traffic, but also quality traffic. That means the kind of traffic that’s likely to stick around and buy something. Optimizing your website means finding those visitors and getting them to visit and come back.

There are numerous things you can do, but perhaps the most important is to have good content on your site. Search engines know when you’re just stuffing your site with keywords, and they’ll think you’re spam. But the bigger reason is that if you did stuff your content with keywords and did successfully rise to the top of the search engine rankings, it wouldn’t really matter, because people don’t like spammy sites and don’t want to buy things from them.
