Can you afford to ignore LinkedIn?

Basic networking principles apply online, so when you connect with someone, do all the things you would normally do when networking in person.

If you are happy with your website's performance, read a different article!

If you are not, why not?

It’s usually due to either one or both of these things:

• You don’t get enough traffic
• You don’t convert the traffic that does come for whatever reason.

All is not lost, there are things that can be done to change it and get your website working. Give it a kick up the website butt that it needs!

Search engine optimisation and search engine marketing are phrases that can be heard quite regularly now and simply mean either getting traffic to your website naturally or by buying paid searches using things like Google Adwords.

There are lots of ways to make your website search friendly to the Google robots, not forgetting the other search engine robots, which will get you more visitors. If you are not showing up on the first 3 search pages of Google for a particular phrase, you’re toast.

Most of the techniques are very easy to achieve, if you know what to do. We do.

At the risk of offending all of the web developers and designers out there, they know how to build a great looking website with all the bells and whistles, but that is usually it. Unfortunately, Google and the other search engines don’t search by pretty pictures or Flash images, but by good old fashioned words and phrases. If the correct ones are not present in your site, your page won’t be picked by Google to match the search term that someone is searching for. It’s that simple. But do you know which search terms to use or are you just guessing?

If this is the case for your website, and you think that you need to get it search engine optimised, then click this link to get in contact with us for search engine optimisation as soon as possible. From there, we will look at your site, decide what needs doing, give you a quote, and it’s over to you to decide what to do. Couldn’t be simpler could it?

If you don’t know what can be achieved and for how much, how can you make a decision?
