Content Is King! Make It SEO Friendly!

by Matthew Stone on Aug.24, 2010, under web design

Constructing content and text that search engines “like” simply implies that the search engines can understand and properly categorize the text. Search Engine robots check each page for things like titles, headlines and text and they look for keywords that are consistently used throughout. This provides clarity and helps the search engines understand the content of your page or blog.

So, how exactly do you make these content areas match?’ Keywords should be included in the text and title tags in a fashion that would be naturally used in common language expressions. This can take a skilled article composition expert to create, but it serves to confirm for the search engines that the page contains content relevant to those keywords.

Prior to building your web page, it is useful to consider keywords and plan how you will incorporate them into your page. Once you’ve chosen your keywords for a given page, produce content that not only supports your value proposition but also uses the keywords. This can be a little tricky, but here is a quick process outline and a couple ideas.

Title Tags This might be the easiest way to incorporate certain keywords into your site. Titling your page using a keyword phrase rather than your company name is essential though. If possible, also use your keywords in the URL for your site. Unless you want to attract users that already know who you are and what you do, why would you want to use the company title to attract readers? Instead, use something like “furnace repair in Seattle” rather than John’s HVAC as the title of your page.

Including a geographic identifier is another useful inclusion for smaller businesses. A page titled “Sushi Warehouse in Cleveland” would allow local sushi purveyors to identify the business as a source of supply for fresh fish in their area.

Setting the Headlines – Making the headlines or the text contained within the ‘h’ tags consistent with the title is also important. These should use the same keywords and if possible, they should be in the same order. This is important to establish prior to designing your page because some headlines won’t fit nicely into certain tabbed page designs.

Developing Content – The common search engine robots visit each page, remember that the robots are mechanical and cannot discern content and meaning. They simply look for common words and phrases. Again, place your keywords strategically within the page text so that the robots will see them and match them to the same words used in the title and headlines. The interesting part to this exercise is trying to incorporate keywords into common language on your page.

Use the bold or ‘b’ tags around instances where your keywords and phrases appear within the page text. These call a little extra attention to the phrase. When the engines come through and analyze the page content, headlines and titles and find your keyword phrases present in each area, they will be fairly confident that your page relates to the topic described by your keywords.

Content construction: Now that you’ve designed your page, you can lay in the text you’ve composed. It is important to keep that text as conversational as possible. This is where use and overuse of keywords and keyword phrases can be awkward, so this can take time to compose. Still, there are some creative ways to insert your keyword phrases here and there.

A provider of industral floor surfacing service in Chicago using the keyword term “Epoxy Flooring” might then use a sentence such as “Epoxy Flooring providers in Chicago are aware that….” A Phoenix company that installs residential sprinkler systems might have hit upon a keyword phrase like “lawn irrigation in Phoenix.” This company would then be able to use a sentence similar to “Lawn irrigation companies in Phoenix know that..” Using bold tags to highlight the keywords within these sentences then allows the search engines to note the presence of the keywords in the text.

Simple rules of ‘on-page’ optimization can quickly improve your page rank and are necessary to have in place prior to initiating the off-page optimization effort (such as blogging or article distribution).

Work At Home – Building A Website On The Cheap

by Brian Lett on Jul.19, 2010, under web design

Do you work at home? Do you have a website? If not, you are placing yourself in a very difficult position. The fact is that in order for a business to survive today, be it online or offline, it needs a website. The good news is that the costs associated with building a website have dropped drastically over the past decade. Hence, where it used to cost thousands of dollars to build a website, nowadays it costs just a fraction.

While I hate to caution against giving business to one entity over another, I have to do so in this instance. When searching for someone to build your website, I have to caution you to stay away from the larger companies. These entities have too many fixed expenses, which need to be passed onto their customers. Of course, every brick and mortar business in the world does this. However, in the case of web design, not every business is brick and mortar. Take advantage of this.

So what is the solutions? The solution is hiring someone to work at home and complete your website. Most of the time you can hire a web designer with a great amount of experience this way. These designers usually are employed full-time elsewhere, and complete freelance work as a means by which to supplement their income. They have no employees to pay, no commercial space to pay rent on. As a result, a work at home web designer can complete your website at a fraction of the cost.

Something that I should tell you about web design, is that just like an other aesthetic, it is very subjective. Each and every web designer has their own style. Some web designers will have a style that you like, and others that you dislike. This is why it is of the utmost importance that you see samples of past work. The best web designers will have a web portfolio which illustrates past websites which they have created. This is a step which must not be overlooked by any means.

When searching for a freelance designer, you have a few options. Websites such as Guru, Elance, Scriptlance, oDesk, and iFreelance are good places to start. On these websites, you can post a description of what you need done, and watch the bids come in on your project. Each time someone bids, you have the ability to check their history, and determine past customers’ satisfaction level. This essentially puts you in the driver’s seat.

Of course, I would be remiss if I did not mention the other option of simply purchasing a template, and building your website yourself with a Content Management System (CMS) such as Joomla. The main things which you must keep in mind if you go this route is that you need to choose a template which is highly relevant to your business, and which has not been overused. The thing which is about a CMS is that whenever you need to update or add content, you simply log into your back office and do so. Whichever route you decide to take, it is entirely up to you. Just realize that if you work at home, you must take a route which provides your business with a website.

If you have made up your mind to Work At Home,I can inform you that from personal experience, it is a smart choice. However, anyone planning to Make Money Online doing so, you are going to need a website. As you can see, you can build it yourself. Come and check out our website at SOSComplete.com

Make Money From Home – Do Not Overlook Your Design

by Brian Lett on Jul.12, 2010, under web design

If you have decided to make it your goal to make money from home, hopefully you have realized that you will need a website to experience any sort of long-term success. Assuming that you are aware of this fact, hopefully you are also aware of the importance of email marketing as it relates to your online business. However, it does not stop there. The fact of the mater is that the design of both the emails and website which you utilize to make money from home have a direct impact on your ability to make sales. We will discuss this further throughout this article.

If you are not an astute web designer, do not panic, as you have a few options. One option is to hire a professional web designer. If this is in your budget, it is the best route to take. However, for most people, this will not be an option. Once again, do not panic. There are several beautiful templates which you can purchase for your marketing emails and use again and again. When it comes to your web design, I have found that using a Content Management System, such as Joomla! or WordPress, along with a professional looking template, is not easily discernible from a professionally designed website. Furthermore, you will be able to easily update your content on your own.

As you may or may not know, the complexion of email marketing has changed drastically since 1997. Back then, we received so few emails that receiving and opening an email was akin to receiving and opening a gift. Thus, it was quite easy to engage in email marketing as people were eager to join an email marketer’s list, and were very receptive to receiving their emails. Fast forward to right now. You receive so many emails that if you fail to check your inbox for two days, often times you have to navigate to the second page of your inbox to pick up all of your new emails. Needless to say, people are no longer so eager to receive emails.

This is why it is crucial that email marketers take measure to stand apart from the emails which are also vying to gain the attention of the recipient. As such, it is important that you personalize your email messages as much as possible. Specifically, you should always use the recipient’s first name in the subject line of your email. The top auto-responders provide you with the capacity to do this. Take advantage of this feature as it enables you to speak personally to the recipient, and increases the probability that your email will be opened. Once your email is opened, its design should not only compel the reader to want to read more, but should also clearly direct your reader to your money website. This is the website upon which you wish to make sales.

Once the email recipient has ventured over to your website, it is imperative that your website design is laid out to make sales. Therefore, your visitor should never be guessing where to go next. Your website should be easy to navigate, and have a clear “call to action”. Furthermore, it is important that the focus be on a specific buyer from a specific niche. Your website should clearly convey what the benefit is to the buyer should they take you up on your offer. This can be demonstrated clearly with verifiable third party testimonials. I can think of nothing more compelling than proof that someone else in your niche market used your product, and achieved the results which are desired by those currently frequenting your website. When it comes to your website, remember that this is the face of your online business. Therefore, it is important that you put a lot into the design, as this will shape the perception of credibility of your business. What you put into your website will be a huge factor in your being able to successfully make money from home.

If you have aspirations to Make Money From Home, then you need to determine what it is that makes people want to buy. Successful online marketers have learned how to Earn Money Online again and again by learning what works.

Can TV Producers Make Money Over The Internet?

by Megan Price on Jul.09, 2010, under multimedia

Will TV producers be able to make money online? Two famous TV producers – Steve Levitan and Lloyd Braun, discussed this subject at D8 and came up with varying answers to the question posed.

Steve Levitan is a co-creator of “Modern Family” and he stated that he was generally sceptical about being able to make money online. The main reason for this is that he felt that the real money was to be made on TV. However, Lloyd Braun, formerly of Yahoo, and who now produces both websites and TV shows, was of a contrary opinion as he strongly believes that there is a way to earn extra money.

Almost all TV producers think about the TV first and then they think of other things later, Braun said. In the future however, TV shows will be considered as brands and they will think more about how they distribute in different ways, Braun added. Levitan expressed his uncertainty, stating that there was a need to balance what things go online, versus what drives the viewership of the show, which he highlighted as being of the utmost importance.

Twitter and the Internet could help build a brand, Levitan said, but if you spend too much time focusing on the web site or other content, “you’ll take your eye off the ball”. This may result in the show itself faltering, and that’s the worst thing that you can do which should be avoided at all costs.

Braun said that this was because TV producers were still judged based on the ratings of the TV shows when aired. But he said that they would be judged on all aspects surrounding production in the long run.

Levitan expressed his ambivalence about Hulu, saying that it took him a while to find out that top episodes on Hulu have a viewership of about 2 million, but that producers were not receiving any credit for this. If these 2 million viewers watched the show when it aired, it would really boost the ratings. He further expressed his fear that Hulu would make it harder for networks to be able to pay for the costs of producing expensive shows.

However, Braun said that the networks had no choice but to support Hulu, as people would otherwise pirate the content.

While Braun seemed much more positive about internet content, Levitan on the other hand said that at present, doing things only for the internet (such as on “Funny or Die”) were mere hobbies than avenues to earn extra money. On the contrary, scripted television doesn’t work on the internet or mobile, Braun said, but instead people were on the look out for other types of entertainment that work online. Braun talked about developing Wonderwall and Glow for the internet and how this was developing a larger audience.

At the moment, Levitan said the most talented people want to work on traditional media as this is the best way to make money online and where the best talent lies.

Work From Home – How To Go About Things

by Brian Lett on Jun.28, 2010, under web design

Nowadays, if you want to work from home, you do not have to look to far. This was not always the case, however. Major advancements in the World Wide Web have put us in a position to earn a full-time living from our home computer. The fact of the matter is that individuals have gone from earning below the median annual income, to earning incomes in the top ten percent due to home business. Just keep in mind that there is nothing automatic about work from home success. With that being said, we will discuss some of the things that you must look out for below.

1. Create a Business Plan

You must develop a business plan before doing anything. It does not need to be anything complicated or too time consuming. However, you should at a minimum set up some short and long-term goals. Each element of your business plan should be directed at accomplishing a specific goal. The achievement of your short-term goals will set up the success of your long-term goals. When it comes to marketing, you must first identify a profitable niche market, and then determine what products you can offer to this market which will make their lives easier.

2. Your Domain Name, Web Design, and Website Hosting

These are all critical factors to any online business. When it comes to your domain name, you want something that is easy to remember. Shorter and pronounceable is usually better. If you can include a keyword which is highly relevant to your target market, that helps too. Keep in mind that your website is the storefront to your online business. This is what your customers are going to base their first impressions of your business on. Therefore, you need to present a professional image by having a professional website. As far as hosting goes, the best hosting companies are not those which have irrelevant commercials running on television. Do your research, read reviews, and find the best plan for your work from home business.

3. The Right Product is Essential

The great thing about selling products on the internet, is that you do not need to develop a product of your own to sell. This is all thanks to affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing allows you to sell the products of others and earn a commission on each sale. Selecting the right product correlates highly with identifying the right niche market in your initial planning stages. You must first identify a potentially profitable niche, then select products which offer solutions for that niche.

4. Keep Your Full-Time Job For Now

Along with online business comes a misnomer that there is a lot of internet money just waiting to be made. Many people believe that they can automatically work from home and replace their currently salary. While it is true that with hard work and consistency you can replace the salary produced by your day job, it does not happen overnight. Just like any business, online businesses take time to grow. Therefore, it will probably be best if you keep your day job for the meantime until your business becomes profitable enough for you to operate it full-time.

5. Always be Willing to Learn

For starters, you must know everything that there is to know about your target market. This will not only enable you to adequately service this market, but also locate members of this niche. Additionally, it is important that you keep up on marketing trends. There are always new online marketing techniques which will enable you to stay on the cutting edge of your market. Make sure that you keep your ear to the ground, and allow your work from home business to prosper.

Assuming that you wish to Work From Home and experience success, you need to follow some steps. This is especially true if you plan to own a Home Business. If you go about things in the proper manner, you will achieve your goals. Swing by and see us at SOSComplete.com

Make Money Online – The New Breed Of Website

by Brian Lett on Jun.17, 2010, under web design

The fact is that if your goal is to make money online, then you had better get a website. This is a step which you simply cannot attempt to overlook. One thing that you should know however, is that although you have several different options when it comes to obtaining a website, some options are far better than others. It was not until recently that if you needed a website, you would have to hire both a web designer and a coder to build that website for you. The result would be a set of static HTML pages which you would need to rely on your coder or web designer to modify. Unfortunately, this put you at the mercy of someone else, and cost you a lot of money.

Fast forward a few years. The internet is far more advanced than it was not too long ago. No longer must we dial in to a land line to receive a frustratingly slow internet connection. Now we have high speed internet. However, of greater relevance to the subject matter is the fact that website development has also advanced. In particular, the Content Management System (CMS) has equipped any online novice to develop their own website with a rudimentary amount of knowledge. Even more impressive, the best Content Management Systems cost nothing. These include, but are not limited to, Joomla, WordPress, Xoops, Plone, et. al. These CMS platforms are completely adaptable to your needs through the addition of what are known as plugins, components, and modules. These additions give websites further functionality.

One thing that I can tell you for certain is the if you are going to build a website, you should strongly consider one of the CMS platforms. Personally, I have developed eight websites with Joomla. Admittedly, I purchased a $30 book from the bookstore which guided me though the set up process step by step. While this purchase was not really necessary, it did educate me as to exactly what is available with a Joomla platform. As a result, I was able to not only develop, but to customize eight websites to fit my exact needs, and make money online with each one.

However, before you choose one Content Management System over the other, you must first look at your intended purpose. For instance, you may have read that self-branding is important if you wish to make money online. Branding one’s self enables their audience to connect with them on a personal level. You may have seen an internet marketer’s website which looked like, “firstandlastname.com”. On the website they often tell their story, how they got started, display personal pictures, etc. If you will pay close attention, most of these websites are build on a WordPress platform. The layout of such a platform is perfect for connecting with your audience, and the tools associate with this platform add even greater value.

Nevertheless, only you can decide what is best for you in terms of a Content Management System. While I lean heavily towards Joomla and WordPress, you might find value in another CMS. Just do your research and determine what will help you most in your efforts to make money online.

Not surprisingly, to Make Money Online it is important to own a website. The truth is that individuals who are able to Make Money At Home do not rely on others to update their website. This is why you need to use a Content Management System. Come and take a look at our Content Management System at SOSComplete.com
