SEO/SEM Tips For Business Website

January 22nd, 2011

More and more companies have increased their budget on the Internet Market in recent years, so how to take the most use of the Internet is an important intellectual discipline, here are some SEO&SEM tips for business websites which I summarize from my three-year-experience.

User Experience

Most search marketing engineers don’t pay attention to the user experience, they just analyse the most suitable keywords and then optimize the ranks. But the search engineers can only bring you visitors, whether they will become your customers depends on a lot of factors while user experience is the most important one. In my opinion, the user experience includes the web design, website speed, easy to use and privacy security.

Web Design: I usually find some business website simple and ugly, terrible layout and color blending, which makes the website seems hard to use and unsafe, so remember a high quality SEO web design is necessary and find the professional designer to do the job.

Website Speed: Although web hosting is enough for most small business website, use the steadier delicated servers instead if have more than 3000 visitors per day.

Easy to Use: Visitors should know how to proceed the shopping immediately when they want to buy something.

Privacy Security: Made the customers’ privacy and the deals safety, you can analyse and dig the database but you mustn’t reveal it.

Long Tail Keywords

When more and more companies pay attention to SEO&SEM, some keywords may become very hot and strong competed, for those new companies, you can’t compete with the financial magnate or a old website with high weights directly, just find some long tail keywords and you will benefit more. In fact, the long tail keywords is match the user search habits and these part of visitors usually have a higher conversion rate. For example, when you have a SEO service company for the local business webiste, you can use the long tail keywords such as SEO Dallas, SEO services Dallas or SEO company Dallas.

If you want to find out the most suitable long tail keywords, you can use the Google Adwords keywords tools or Google Trends to analyse it.

Advertisement Online

Business website can’t only depend on some keywords, sometimes you should put some advertisements into the Internet to attract visitors. Generally speaking the companies will buy some advertisement packages on some websites or buy keywords advertisement on Google or other search engines, but now I think most business websites have ignored precision marketing, which means we should leave more budget on the small websites that can help us increase profits.

Advertisement Chart

As the chart shows, we usually arrange our budget like this, remember don’t spend much on big websites’ advertisement package unless you have a very famous brand. If you don’t family with internet marketing, you can fnd a professional company to help your ppc campaign management.

If Google PageRank Disappear From Google Toolbar

November 13th, 2010

Google PagerankIt has been more than 7 months since Google PageRank updated the last time in 02 April, many webmasters are discussing whether Google will put off the Page Rank from the toolbar, as one of those SEOers who concern about every detail that could affect the rank, I’m just thinking what we should do without the Page Rank.

Although many people said that we should not pay so much attention on the page rank because it is not the only factor that affect the ranks, I think pagerank is a comprehensive achievement of all the optimization work, the higher the more obviously. So the pagerank is as important as the number of the external links in my search engine optimization philosophy. But when more and more people could not deal with the pagerank correctly, it is not surprising if the pagerank disappear one day, webmasters or SEOers should have their own methods to evaluate what they have benefit from the optimization work instead of depending on pagerank.

For example, when you want to build your external links, you may find the link building services or exchange links with other websites. Some people think we should only purchase or exchange links with the websites who’s pagerank is higher than ours, but in fact, high pagerank not equals high weight, besides the pagerank we should know the number of export links, the age of the site, the content quality, the user experience, the pages indexed by search engines and DMOZ, etc.

At last, I want say pagerank maybe important to webmasters, but our final target is more traffic or more orders. Bulid the links, relational sites, and high quality content, improve your user experience, post some articles, even there is no pagerank, we can still have the rank.
