New Website Launch? Get Found Fast

Posted by: WordsmithBob | Comments (4)

How to get your new website found fastGetting you new website found fast is sometimes problematic at best. If you hired a search engine optimization firm while your website was being built (as you should so they can influence the important design elements for SEO), most of them will submit your website to the search engines when the website is done and uploaded to the Internet.

That’s the very slow way to get your website found. Many search engines, Google included, will stick your website in a “sandbox” or queue and get to your website when they “get around to it.”

Website Home Page Basics

Posted by: WordsmithBob | Comments (0)

Your website Home page should follow a very basic formula. First of all, the page must open with a headline that speaks to what visitors are looking for. Don’t say “Welcome to Widgetland”. People need to know as soon as they hit your page what the page is about.

There should be only one theme. I’ve seen home pages where they try to cover everything they do or have. If you overwhelm people with information they’ll decide your website is too complicated and leave. Read More→

Search Engine Optimization have a lot of different facets to it. You should make sure you have the proper Title, Description and Keyword meta tags. You need strong, locally targeted keyword phrases. And you need to have steadily increasing relevant content. And, of course, there are all the other “white hat” tricks like internal linking, etc.

But the one thing that will probably give you the most bang for your buck, is incoming links from relevant and already highly placed sites.

When you’re putting together your website optimization plan, you need to think both globally and locally. Your plan needs to have an overall goal you’re looking to achieve so your page optimization doesn’t go all over the map. You only need a handful of keyword phrases that you want to optimize your site for.

 The problem with success is that you no longer have time to work on your own “stuff”. if you’re working on marketing and sales, you aren’t getting client work done. And when things are hopping, you’re too busy working on client projects to bother with marketing.

To put it bluntly, you know the old saying, “do as I say, not as I do”? I am as guilty of that as anyone. I have a whole slew of articles on my website on every subject imaginable when it comes to writing copy or search engine optimization. But are they properly optimized for the search engines? No.

Have they been monetized at all? No.
