Ignoring standards in Web Development is like raising a child in the jungle. That child will not perform well in normal society when mature.
When you build anything, it must be adapted to the fundamental features of similar products. At least to some degree.
When I started building websites over 15 years ago, it was mostly by trial and error.
Like many Professional Web Developers who are self-taught, I didn’t know much about conversion optimization, typography, vertical spacing, and the countless other ingredients that make a great website.
These are some of the standards that are critical to the success of a modern site or application.
Design and programming best practices were developed mostly through testing, experimentation, and analytic reviews. This is what gives it strength.
Industry tested approaches and techniques that are proven to work should be fairly reliable, right?
Most big companies didn’t know much about this as well, and many still don’t. Back then there were no major college level programs focusing on website development.
Don’t get me wrong, there
179,000 plus impressions in Google Search and barely 500 clicks! That’s the worst I’ve seen.
It’s like tending a Gold Mine and coming up empty every day. This is the slow strangulation happening to a site I recently did some work on. I’m so unhappy about this, I decided to write this post to help other site owners avoid this problem.
Do you know how to access your Webmaster Tools Account (WMT)? Do you even have an account?
A standard inclusion on any new website that I develop is WMT setup, XML sitemap creation, sitemap submission to WMT and ongoing site monitoring through the platform.
These simple set of tasks can
When the First Transcontinental Railroad was completed, it powered the migration of thousands of people and the growth of countless towns and cities.
If you want to increase the traffic volumes your website is getting then consider these early railroads.
If there is a faster and easier way to get to a destination, people will use it. Even though they might not have thought to go there before. And if it cost nothing, the choice is almost a no-brainer.
These early migrants were already in America. Similarly, the pageviews you desire will be created by your site’s current user base, or your extended community.
There are lots of easy ways to improve a website’s pageviews. I will tell you what they are. These tips are not blackhat or unethical. These are simple solutions that are also force multipliers. They call this Growth Hacking today.
With the expense and time involved in driving new visitors to your site, you need one time fixes and updates that allow your site to capitalize on it’s current user base over time.
What usually stimulates multiple page views is
There are only so many things we can control. Algorithmic updates is not one of them. But what about ON PAGE SEO?
There are people who work very hard to solidify standards that even the Search Engines must adhere to.
Of course standards may only be enforced if there is true habituation by the masses.
Your Website might have many pages with plenty of text content. If you’re still not receiving significant traffic, then perhaps your site is not properly indexed by Search Engines.
This could be caused by bad site navigation structure, lack of a
I’ve made thousands of dollars from leads generated by CraigsList Ads. At first I didn’t care how much views my ads received. I only cared about who called me or clicked on my website’s link because I can easily monitor that.
With a bad economy, it became harder to generate the same amount of leads.
This is the point where conversion optimization becomes important. I knew the leads were still coming from classified ads. But I needed a way to
What’s wrong with Flash SEO, is there remains indexing issues for search engines which damages visibility of a website. Flash is not Standards Compliant. Meaning the content is very hard for SE’s to follow in a structured order like HTML pages. Flash also uses mostly images where the content cannot be read by the search robots.
There’s more details about this issue. I will just list some resources because it has been covered thoroughly by others. I don’t want to just repeat what they said…so here goes:
What I want to cover is the simplest way to do SEO for Flash; Provide
Recently I was googling on link graph related keywords and noticed a pirated article with the same title as an SEOBook.com entry. To make matters worst, the entire article was republished with no attribution to the original creator.
Now I’m not going to call anyone out, because that’s not my job. But it got me thinking about syndication and how this contributes to article piracy on the internet.
A content reuse study recently released by the Fair Syndication Consortium, highlights the amount of abuse leveled at newspapers. In it they claim
A few years ago, I tried my hand at Drop Shipping. Drop Shipping means you have a supplier deliver a purchased product as if it came from you. This of course eliminates any need to stock inventory. And you as the merchant must make the purchase first before delivery .
So I tried this with eBay and the results were very good. I made a few thousand dollars before losing my eBay account. I must admit, I didn’t manage the account very well. There is more details to this, but I will spare you my failure because it is 100% my fault. This system used correctly can potentially make you a lot of money, and without spending any thing more than $25 to start.
To start drop shipping, you need a few tools and services. One being a
Make no mistake about it; These Online Marketing Techniques will be around for quiet a while.
I’ve been marketing online since 2002. Therefore I have a top down view of all the ways to promote a business online. I’ll cover some of the best options in this short, but sweet list.
1. Your own Affiliate Program. The reason this is number one IMO, is because almost all the other techniques bellow, your affiliates can do for you. Which will be hundreds or thousands of times more than you can do if you executed on these yourself. Even if you
Are you interested in becoming an online Affiliate Marketer? Are you disappointed with the performance of other programs?
Then eBay Partner Network or Amazon Associates Program might be more beneficial to your business. I’ll do a basic comparison of these two services to determine how they differ from each other.
Amazon pioneered affiliate marketing online. They remain one of the most popular programs available today. But we have a contender; Ebay and their partner program. What sets these apart, especially the payout is an important consideration.
Determining the answer in many cases will come down to actual implementation and testing. But before you do that, lets look at how they stack up against each other on an introductory level.
Internet Business Promoters often offer tons of visitor traffic to your website. They guarantee placement in the top of organic search results.
They often boast of industry leading techniques that are exclusive. Claims they have/are experts with more than a decade of experience.
And even claim they can beat any of your competition. All this in less than a week. And of course with big returns on investment.
What the promoters are selling is fine, but there’s fluff somewhere. The fluff is what they would like to
