Web Site Design Denver

So you want a high ranking website? Let's take a look at some of the basic tips to help you acheive maximum sucsess.

Title tags - Use descriptive keyword(s) and keyword phrases relevant to your website. A common mistake is that the same title is used on multiple pages.

Use Content on each page - I have noticed a lot of websites that use all flash and/or images. Note that search engine spiders can't read text with in a movie or graphic, therefore they should be used sparringly. HTML does allow you to add alt tags and modify meta information, however, the best results come from proper written content. So balance each page out accordingly. If a lot off video and images are required, use services like http://www.youtube.com and http://www.picasa-2009.com/, as hosting the images and movies can increase visibility.

Web Blogs - Web blogs are highly indexed by search engines if setup correctly ad should be used or integrated into your exsisting website.

Keyeord Links - Use keyword links back to you psges, ie Denver Web Design Avoid backlinking from web s that are not indexed in Google.

User Friendly Navigation - Make sure your navigation is user friendly and consitant.

Sitemaps - Add an xml sitemap to your website for the search engine spiders and add a sitemap for your web user. These pages if done correctly also can increase your visibility in Search Engine directories.

Add Video to Your Website - Adding video to your website can be informative and increase user retention. See our video spokesperson

RSS Feeds - Most blogs will automatically generate RSS feeds for you web content. Submit these wherever possible and allow users to follow your site.

Take care when building your website and have patience. Top 10 listings arn't acheived overnight. I recommend you spend at least one hour a day writting to your blog, registering to social media websites, write in other peoples forums and get a good SEO book.

Google It

It seems as though every time I hear about any place or product that I have not heard of I find myself looking to the internet for answers. Having just moved to Denver, CO I have a lot to learn about the city and all the stuff in it. Friends will tell me about a cool bowling place, restaurant, best burger , etc…. and they finish their description by suggesting that I “google” it.

I’m noticing it more and more probably because many people are now considered tech savvy and the younger generations are evolving into a whole new breed. Check out this ridiculous teen.
Have you ever been in a part of town that you are unfamiliar with and stumble upon an amazing place? It’s the same way on the internet when people are just cruising around google.com or even sites such as stumbleupon.com. Any given search with come up with thousands, or hundreds of thousands of possibilities for anything that you type, but how do you set yourself apart from all the others?

Obviously you need an attractive website that has the professional touch so guests can see that you care about how you represent your business. I like to look around and find a place that has great recommendations from their clients. Find a website that you think looks cool? Look around to see who made it. A site that looks great and includes lots of fun features such as Flash or Dreamweaver applications is always a plus.

Right now I am a big fan of a video spokesperson. I just think it adds a nice extra touch by grabbing your attention and introducing the company and what they do. I found a great Denver Web Design Company that has a lot of fun adding video spokespeople to their client’s websites. Check out this place and you can add one for free to your site to see how it will add life to your website. Instead of hiring an actor that you have never met, if you are in the Denver area, you could be your own video spokesperson doing whatever you like on your website.

A great looking website is what you need to start selling or promoting your product or service, but that is really just the start. Unless people know exactly what they are looking for how are they going to find you? As I mentioned earlier, they will probably look to google to provide them with answers. But who really has the best pizza in town? How does google know? It doesn’t eat pizza, but there is a system to figure out how google “thinks” called Search Engine Optimization or SEO for short. It’s a confusing process that is a game, a puzzle, a process and a science. You can learn more about it here from an SEO Company. Most people usually click on one of the top ten results in a search engine but how do you get there? Search Engine Optimization.

In all likelihood you don’t have the time or know how to get your website there without shelling out a lot of money to search engines, but it’s important to find an SEO organization that can help you. Here is where you need to beware. There is no overnight secret cheat code to get it there. It takes time so be patient. Be cautious with companies promising quick results or a onetime fee for immediate results. It is very labor intensive and takes time to build your status. Just think of a few keywords that describe who you are and/or what you do. Those key search words are where you help your SEO team get started. It’s sounds odd but Search Engine Optimization is the new marketing weapon. That first page on a search engine is like landing a minute commercial spot during the super bowl, whereas page 34 is more like 3am on public access cable. You get the picture.
