How To Bring Exponential Traffic To Your Website With SEO Strategies
Astute website owners will make sure they employ the services of web design agencies that specialise in search engine optimisation (SEO) to tempt visitors to their site. The employment of search engine optimisation techniques has to be put in place in order to stay on top where business competition is concerned and to help to achieve top rankings in search engine results. This will be achieved by the careful use and selection of pertinent keywords and phrases.
When search engine optimisation is used for your site, the prime objective is having your site listed on the initial pages of search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. This will ensure that when people enter your particular keywords into the search engine box, your website will be listed on the first pages, with any luck right at the top!
All of this demonstrates that content is king, as a website that has content which is unique and enlightening will help to make your business a success. For searches to be effective, keywords need to be chosen that are relevant to your site and business. This will give rise to better results.
To help you to determine the best possible keywords for your website, there are assorted keyword tools that can be utilised, such as Googles Adword keyword tool, Wordtracker, digitalpoint, etc. You should opt for different keywords, depending on the different web pages within the site in order to get the best results. You should also try to select keywords that are less competitive, which will also help with your ranking in the results for search engines.
In addition to primary site content, your chosen keywords need to be positioned in the title tag, description and meta tag of your site. Make sure that your target keywords show in the h1 headline tag, as search engines prefer h1 tags.
Another important point is ensuring website pages are linked together correctly, ensuring that site navigation works well. Your website visitors will expect this, as well as Google, etc.
The images you have on the pages need to have Alt attributes, which is something that many overlook. The reason for this is that the various engines are not able to read the images, so alt text can be employed for every image with an important keyword in that text.
In addition, there is the option of having reciprocal links to be considered, but this should only be undertaken with websites that are of good quality and with a good page rank. If you want to take this route, do your homework so that you are able to build up good reciprocal partnerships that will be harmonious with your own site. All of these strategies should be effective in helping to draw people to your pages.
How to thwart the Barbarian Spyware!
Today,on most internet user’s computers, we have the ability to employ software, along with our intelligence, to prevent viruses and spyware. To put this article into proper perspective, we’ll use Medieval defense tactics.
This is accomplished by 3 methods. First, a firewall… ‘The Castle Moat’ so to speak. A firewall can’t see inside your computer beforehand though, so if any viruses or spyware were present before the firewall was installed then its of no use. Of course, its extremely good at preventing new attacks.
Second, a anti-virus program…. ‘The Castle Drawbridge! They will not provide much help with spyware, but good virus protection is as desirable as one of Avaris’s dreams! One drawback can be the updates, of course.If you’ve just updated Wednesday night and a virus hits the next day, then you may not be protected till next Wednesday night, and by then it may be too late. If you’re smart, you will have signed up for email alerts with the provider, or even better, you’ll have a anti-virus program that has a real time update feature. I get the tingles when I see that little pop-up saying a update is available and click here. Its downloaded ,installed, and updated in about 20 seconds! A new virus or Trojan or God forbid, a new keylogger can hit the internet and spread in a matter of days, and I’m sure this must make the definition writers lives a living hell. I have great admiration for them as they could have been wealthy doctors, but they have chosen to help us… the end users. (moment of silence here)
Last, we have anti-spyware programs,’The Flaming oil’! (my favorite). Their update features are like the anti-virus programs, so you have to be as vigilant with this method of defense too as you would be with the others. I’ve heard there are people out there that don’t even know when their updates run, or even if its configured to do so! I refuse to believe this sordid rumor!
So you’ve got your defenses set up, you’re looking good. But the best defense is a good offense, attack! That’s what some organizations do. They prowl the net looking for websites that harbor drive-by downloads, URL Re-Directing and such. When they find them, they shut them down, or report them so effective protection can be manufactured. These people have my sincere thanks for what they do. With identity theft on the rise and Websense reporting that the average computer has 28 items of Spyware on it, we need all the help we can get. Oh sure, you’re saying not my computer ! Well, lets discuss those little boxes that you click “I Agree” to when you download something. Do you read the entire statement? This is one way spyware has become so rampant, because so many downloads have extra software included in them. These can be harmful to your computers well being. KeyLoggers, popups, adware, malware… Need I go on? So my idea is that we need these shining knights from the castle to journey forth on a quest. They will be little robots or spiders like the search engines use. They will be given absolute power over harmful programs they find. They will be like Gort in the movie “The Day the Earth Stood Still”. Dell recently reported that 12% of their calls were for spyware damage, Microsoft says half of their reports of system crashes are caused by spyware. These calls cost these companies millions of dollars in revenue, which they then pass the costs of onto us, the consumers. Who knows, if viruses and spyware ever get controlled, the average computer may only cost a dollar!
