Avoiding Search engine penalties

Since the launch of the first search engines, website owners have looked for ways to boost their position in thebuild a website listings.

The early search engines used relatively crude indicators to calculate where a website was placed. As the popularity of search engines increased webmasters realised that to attract the most visitors you had to gain a high position in the search listings. Site owners began to work out by trial and error how search engines determined the position of any given site. They used this knowledge to modify their websites and “search engine optimisation” (SEO) was born.

Search engine operators soon realised their systems were being manipulated. To fight back they began modifying the complex calculations (algorithms) used. Each time they made changes site owners would work out the new formula and change their website accordingly. As a result search criteria constantly changes to prevent what they deem to be abuse of their systems. It is the secrecy surrounding these changes that has given birth to an industry based upon hearsay and misinformation.

Navigation Menu Redesign

We’ve recently been looking at the importance of the navigation of your website. Navigation will determine how easy your customers, viewers and visitors find it to get around your site and find what they’re looking for. One important tip is to limit the number of buttons you have in your navigation bar so as not to scare visitors with a daunting menu to possibly have to go through. All professional website builders know that you should aim to keep it to no more than 6/7. Once you ‘ve whittled it down and have your list, why not give them a facelift to help them stand out and encourage visitors to click them. more - http://www.reason8.com/build-website/index.cfm/2010/4/15/Navigation-Menu

Don't let your Visitors get lost!

When browsers surf the internet looking for information, they want to find it quickly and easily. The first few seconds after clicking onto a site should at least give them an idea of what the site offers and whether they are likely to find what they are looking for. They’re hoping to find the best product or service that they need at that time and of course the best price. As the website builder for your business, if your site shows no real indication of what’s on offer and / or gives visitors no idea of where to go next or how to get to the primary information pages, then the chances are they’ll click away to the next site pretty much immediately. If this is the case then YOU need to make some changes immediately. More - http://www.reason8.com/build-website/index.cfm/2010/4/8/Navigation-links?
