Redesigning a Website without Losing Traffic

2009-11-18T21:48:00.000-08:00

First of all, the most important issue to consider is whether your site actually needs a redesign. Can you just do away with the content that doesn’t work, and keep the content that does work? If you’re not getting contacts through the web, could you just add contact information or a button that leads to a form on each page? If visitors bailout quickly, is it because your home page isn’t any good and not necessarily because your entire site isn’t any good? Identify the faults of your site and try to keep changes small. Making small changes is always better than overhauling an entire site if you want to retain the search rankings you already have. The reason is simple: search engines have a record and history for the pages that already rank well. If you change the structure of your site, that record will either be completely lost or it will take a good amount of time (perhaps, at least half a year) before it will be reassigned to the appropriate pages. Whenever you change the URLs of your sites pages, you can expect a loss in traffic at least temporarily (unless the pages never received traffic in the first place).

Article Submission

2009-11-18T21:47:00.000-08:00

Article submission relevance has risen in popularity in the recent years for a couple of reasons. Keyword driven anchors, linking relevance and inbound link PageRank weighting all plays a role in this vital SEO technique. When you market an article to an external or internal page for ranking purposes, whether it be a topical hub or article directory, many facets of the article must be considered: where (what site) the article is submitted, where in the site (category relevance) it is submitted, what keywords are used, what anchor text is used and where it links to in your webpage. All of these factors can greatly increase or decrease ranking efficiency when you submit an article.

Those who are interested promise me you are going to use my guidelines on your pages to reap financial benefits. Then lets get to the big question.
Lets begin with our primary question. What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ?
As per wikipedia :- “Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.” In short this is what you need if you want your site listed when some one searches for a particular keyword in the top search engines. From now on when we say Google it will refer to all major search engines that use organic search method like windows live search, overture, yahoo etc etc.

Twitter Trending Topic Spam

2009-09-11T07:15:00.000-07:00

Today I am left wondering… How effective are Twitter trending topics? Trending topics used to be a place to look for the latest news, events, or information on a specific topic. Lately, it seems to be more of a place where spammers hang out and hijack the trending topics. Now, when viewing any given trending topic you are presented with irrelevant information and spam from people who are attempting to get their message seen by riding on the popularity of the trending topic.

Bot network uses Twitter

2009-09-11T07:14:00.000-07:00

Apparently, the current hype about Twitter has not passed malware writers by. Jose Nazario of Arbor appears to have discovered a bot-net that users the Twitter micro-blogging service for its communication. In a blog entry, Nazario tells of a Twitter account "upd4t3" (leet-speak for "update") whose messages seem to be Base64 encoded. He suspects the account may be used to control a bot network through allowing its clients to pick up orders. The concept is not entirely new; in 2007, The H reported on a trojan using Web-2.0-sites like MySpace for communication.

The account has since been suspended by Twitter.

Right Now: A Twitter/News Mash-up

2009-09-11T07:07:00.002-07:00

Many people will turn to Twitter to break and discuss news. However, I feel as-if Twitter, on its own, is not a great medium for distributing and discovering news and events. Although there exists a ‘Popular Topics’ feature, there is no obvious attempt to actually connect with the news and events; rather, there is just short, vague and duplicated statements, lacking the editorial quality we are accustomed to from respected news providers.

The feature, which Facebook calls tagging, allows you to not only reference friends, but groups, pages, and events.

Facebook Lite: How Will Twitter Respond? Twitter Lite!

So, we now have Facebook Lite in the U.S ., a slimmed down, sexier version of Facebook. It's been said for a while that Facebook may have a long term problem with Twitter because it was too bloated, while Twitter was so light and simple — talk of that should die down now. So how will Twitter respond? I have a feeling we're about to enter a war similar to the war razor blade companies engage in.
