Hardly a week goes by without us hearing someone touting the value of meta tags in some form or fashion. It’s been years since they have had any relevance in site rankings, but they are an easy sell for an “SEO expert” to a customer who doesn’t work in the web industry day in and day out. Why? Because just like most scams, …

Probably the most common questions we receive about search engine rankings relate to keywords. People ask how many keywords should be added on a given page, whether hiding text behind other objects works in increasing rankings, if adding words that the company is not actually relevant for will help in search engines, etc. Hopefully, this article will help to dispel some of these myths, while providing a clearer understanding of what is necessary to create a web site that is both highly ranking, and also friendly to site visitors. Because, after all, who cares how search engine friendly a site is if customers leave in disgust as soon as they find it? …

I was driving down the road a few days ago, when I passed a sign that made me stop (metaphorically speaking of course) and think. It read something like this:

“Our plumbers, 100% steroid free.”

What???? Why would anyone care that a plumber doesn’t use steroids? Does it affect job performance? How does this have any bearing on anything?

Why do so many companies steadfastly refuse to provide enough information on their web sites for customers to make an informed buying decision?

Over the years, we have heard dozens of companies respond with the same message. “We don’t want to provide them with enough information right off the bat, we want them to call us.” That technique may have worked back when there wasn’t a huge, multi-billion (trillion?) page entity called the internet, providing answers to literally anything you can think to ask. Now, it just turns potential customers into no-potential site visitors. …

I have a theory as to why meta tags won’t just “rest in peace …

It’s no secret that we are in a recession, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do if your business is slow. Now is the perfect time to re-dedicate yourself to your web site. I’m not suggesting you call up your web guys and drop $10,000 (though our feelings won’t be hurt if you call us), but if you have a web site that allows you to edit your own content (and if you don’t, it’s time to rattle the cage of your current web designer), now is the best time in years to be working on making your site better. Why? Simply because if business is slow, you probably have a little extra time on your hands.

The people who come out of this recession, just like any other, stronger and better will be the ones who take this time to make their business better. In the web world, that means …
