Web Site Analysis
2008-03-25 04:32:00
We’re often asked, “what exactly are the necessary steps to analyzing a website for optimization and presentation?” When evaluating a customer’s website, we use the following checklist:   • Does it focus on its audience’s requirements? If not, why not, and what can be done to fix this? • Does it provide users wilh all the necessary information? If not, why not, and what can you do to fix this? • Does each internal page have one clear objective? The main page and category pages usually have to ‘share’ attention, but internal pages can focus on one objective only. • Is each page consistent with all primary / secondary goals? If not, then why is it there? How can it be made more relevant? This will depend on the context and purpose of your website of course. If the answers is “yes” to any of the core questions above, the website has a solid foundation for the target audience. If the answer is “no”, time to contact ...

The Importance of Market Research
2008-03-25 04:17:00
A necessary (and not as boring as you might think) part of SEO. I’ll admit, I’m not the sort of person who likes to over-elaborate or over-do the planning and research phase. I follow the ‘ready-fire-aim’ school of thought, so my goal with every website is to just get started and fix things later. However, there still is that ‘ready’ bit of the whole ready-fire-aim process, and there is some research that you will have to do in order to be ready to conquer your target niche.   Setting Goals Understand your targets for the website and profile the ideal audience. Keyword Research Once you know your topic (and have a feel for your audience), find out what keywords they are using. Competitive Analysis Find out who your top competition is, and what they are doing in terms of SEO / online marketing.

If You Build It, They Will Come?
2008-03-24 21:28:00
The most common problem that our customers face when deciding to sell online is, in their excitement at the opportunity to sell to a “global” marketplace, they have forgotten that they will often have to compete with larger, more established competition. It’s a common enough tale. The customer decides they need a website. The website is designed and the e-commerce program is launched… now what? What happens next? Most often, very little. Why? Well, online success is all about traffic - traffic quantity. It is a percentages game; you will sell to a percentage of the people who visit your site (assuming that you have a credible product and have all pricing and logistics strategies down). The problem is one of scale, as the conversion rates are typically very low and you need high volumes of (quality) traffic to your website. Incredibly, most businesses still operate on a “build it and they will come” basis. A marketing strategy requires pa...
