How Can I Improve My Web Sites Search Results Ranking
How Can I Improve My Web Sites Search Results Ranking
Tonight my friend contacted me and asked how she could get her stores new website to show up in search results. While I dont claim to be an expert I do have a little experience with web sites, ecommerce, blogging and SEO (search engine optimization). Heres a list of what I told her just shooting from the hip.
I told her its definitely a multi-faceted approach. First, her site looks good, is easy to navigate and has relevant information. Without a decent place to start none of the rest of this will matter.
- Start with a good site with good, relevant content.
- Be patient. It takes time to rise to the top, or even to rise at all.
- Get visitors. The more traffic your site gets naturally (sometimes called type-in traffic) the better it will rank in search results. Give the URL to all your customers. Print it on their receipt, on the merchandise bags, put a flyer in their bag. Put your sites address up in your stores. Outside the stores. Basically anywhere you can. Get your existing customers to go to the site.
- Add content (merchandise and info) to your site often as possible. Keep the site fresh. Use the island names (or your location) in product descriptions if/when possible. Basically you want the search words people would use to find what you offer throughout your site as much as possible.
- Have your own blog and use it to make announcements about new products, etc. This helps fulfill the previous suggestion. And post to it regularly. Again using key words. And make sure it links back to your store.
- Inbound links are invaluable, particularly from higher traffic sites. Post the link on facebook, twitter or anywhere you can. Try to get written up and linked in your local paper, citysearch, kudzu, places like that. Trade links with other sites where it makes sense, etc. Inbound links are the holy grail of high-ranking search results, and ultimately more site traffic.
- Work your networks, get people going there, linking to it etc.
- Use site analytics. Make sure to enable some kind of site analytics (either from your hosting provider or Google Analytics or other) so you can monitor activity to your site over time; and track key words people used to find your site; and where they came from (search engines, inbound links, etc.).
- While its harder and harder these days to get good domain names it really helps if the site name is something that makes sense, is easy to remember. It is also really important for it to match the name of your business.
If youre ever in the Charleston, SC area go to Islands Mercantile on both Seabrook and Kiawah islands for some great T-shirts, hats and other souvenirs.

How to Make a Website of Your Own
How To Build A Great Web Site -- Without Hiring A Web Designer
By Carmen Mardiros - People looking to create a family or hobby website.
- People looking to build their first profitable business website.
- People looking to create a successful commercial website.
- Website designers looking to improve their skills and offerings.
Youre here because you want to make a website, right? Im a web designer and, if you were to hire me, I would charge anywhere between $1,000 and $3,000 to build a small web site. But this article is about how to make a website for far less. But why would I tell you how you can make websites for less?
If youre like the vast majority of people thinking of building a website, then you dont have a big budget. That alone disqualifies you as a prospect of mine -- it means you can relax, I have no interest in making a pitch. A small budget, though, can still get you a good web site, provided you throw other ingredients in the mix as well. Lets look at available options together.
There is one universal truth in website making: To make a website you need either time or money -- or both. Time and money often substitute each other (you can pay $$$ and have a webiste up and running in 2 weeks or you can save your cash, spend your own time building a website and have it up and running in 2-6 months). How do you find the right balance between time and money? Heres how.
| You can get a website by: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Hiring someone to create a website for you | Building a website on your own | ||
| (a) Take the long, time-consuming way of building it "brick-by-brick":
| (b) Take shortcuts, use whole "blocks" readily available and learn to put them together:
| |
The Quick And Easy Route
Use A Builder To Create A Web Site
Taking shortcuts means using website builder software for help. These fall into two major categories:- Website builders that only help with the technical side (creating and publishing pages, hosting, domain names, etc). These can be both online and offline, free and paid site builders.
- Website builders that also help with the non-technical, human side, the fun side (figuring out what to make the site about, attracting visitors, interacting with people, making money out of it, becoming popular thanks to it -- in essence, making it work).
They are complicated to use, redundant, most dont give a website a fighting chance and are ultimately useless. Learning to make a website with these paid site builders is frankly, frustrating and not worth the trouble (or the money). Most of the time, free blogs or free website builders do the job just as well, or even better!
If you need to create a simple website for your family and friends, then free options will work just fine. However, if you plan to sell your products online or attract people to a web site about something you feel passionate about and make it wildly popular, then its important to look at a website builder that can really help you achieve that (instead of a website that only takes up space).
A few months ago, I came across this website builder and, for once, I was pleasantly surprised. Being a webmaster myself, I am reluctant to saying this, but software like this one could, potentially, turn the webdesigners of today into a dying breed. But I was skeptical at first. Very skeptical. I loathe companies who are quick to make a buck but give you little in return. So I started investigating.
This one paragraph on their website summarizes the basic reality of how people use the web:
Online, people search for information, look for solutions -- they are not looking for you. Give them what they want by converting your knowledge into high-quality, in-demand CONTENT. To do this, you create a theme-based topical content that ranks high at the Search Engines, attracting free, targeted TRAFFIC... interested, open-to-you visitors.(I have a paragraph along the same lines printed and posted on my monitor)
Make no mistake about it, SBI isnt a get-rich-quick scheme and investing time, effort and passion are essential. This isnt necessarily a bad thing, but its something you must consider before settling for any website builder, no matter how good they may seem to be. Here is what makes Site Build It attractive:
- Its perfect for beginners because it takes the techno-babble away and makes the site-building experience smooth, enjoyable and frustration-free. And if, at any time, you decide to become more technical, the sitebuilder can easily keep up with your newly found skills.
- Puts the fun back in creating something you can be proud of. In a few months youll have a popular website, a thriving community or a profitable web business.
- The SBI community welcomes you among thousands of other beginners eager to learn how to make a website. Their support, advice and motivation will prove invaluable in building your success pixel by pixel.
- It gives you the tools, motivation, support and above all, the essential intelligence needed to make a website, one that shines for years to come.
- Good money-back guarantee (they refund you if at any time you change your mind, whenever and whatever the reason -- yes, I know it sounds too good to be true and yes, I did ask them myself).

Green Web Hosting Materialization
Green Web Hosting Materialization
Webmasters are unable to attain their niche market without the help of web hosting services and related hardware available in most data centers. In reducing data center emissions, most hosting companies decided to go green.
Green web hosting was in short supply few years back. Lately this kind of hosting has emerged into the public eye. There are several companies which began to be 100 percent green and others eventually converted. Even other well known providers switched to a greater eco-friendly alternative.
Several of these companies began reprocessing waste paper and used bio-fuel for heat up procedures. This directed data centers to used alternative resources like geothermal energy, wind and solar. Read more web hosting reviews regarding this particular service.
