If you don&rsquo;t know who your site is aiming at then how can you ever hope to target them with the right keywords in the right places. Some sites are better suited to facebook advertising, some Google, some none at all. Where are your users coming from? For example, &ldquo;<a href="http://unitedsample.com/global-panel.html">American Panel</a>&rdquo; may work for one site in America but maybe not so in the UK or Swaziland, to name but two of the many countries it may not work for!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That&rsquo;s why <a href="http://unitedsample.com/">Online Market Research</a> is essential to any website and their web presence &ndash; understanding your audience through carefully worded surveys or polls can be hugely useful for gauging the target market. <a href="http://unitedsample.com/global-panel.html">B2B Market Research</a> can also be hugely useful, as can a short PPC test or an offline survey.

Just by typing in the homepage of your site and choosing the number of links you can get a wealth of information that is gold dust to SEOs and webmasters alike. You can also specify a filter for the URL, so if you want to get details from a certain area of your site (for example the &ldquo;books&rdquo; section or &ldquo;forums&rdquo;) you can add the extra filter to root those specific pages out.</p>  <p>The <a href=\"http://www.orchidbox.com/crawler\">SEO crawler</a> spiders the most important pages of your site first, then crawls deeper into the recesses of your site, and before you know it the results are there. Initially the most obvious, and sometimes most useful, numbers are the Google pageranks of your pages. With these you can determine if your navigation is working as it should and whether the pagerank is diluting too much between your frontpage and the next links (if your homepage has PR6 and a page linked from it has no PR then something is up!). This tool is the only of its type that will give you these multiple page ranks in one go. Additional to this is a table containing other such useful info as the number of internal and external of links, page loading times, sizes &ndash; all hugely useful for SEOs and webmasters in diagnosing their sites.</p>  <p>There is a further wealth of information looking at the links within these pages below this table, where amongst other things you can check your 301 redirects and see if there are any rogue 404s on the site.</p>  <p>All in all the <a href=\"http://www.orchidbox.com/crawler\">Pagerank crawler</a> is a hugely useful tool for even the most casual of website owners, and for no price at all you can solve so many problems on your site without typing in more than your homepage address.

We were tempted to set up a personal <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com/dedicatedserverhosting.html">dedicated server</a> which we could monitor from the office and maintain without having to phone up any call centres or random companies from Mars or somewhere similar. But this was a lot of hassle and requires a lot of power and bandwidth which would have hindered our office somewhat. And we&rsquo;re lazy. <br /><br />So what to do, what to do? We looked at <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com/vpshosting.html" target="_blank">VPS hosting</a>, and various other hosting methods which might have suited the site and it&rsquo;s content. But it was all too expensive, too hassle-full or just plain useless.

Legal, illegal, beg, stealing and borrowing &ndash; people just want to see cash in their pocket. Not all of us, however are looking for a quick fix or <a href="http://www.bridgingloans.co.uk" title="http://www.bridgingloans.co.uk">bridging loan</a> that might gain us a bit of quick revenue. That&rsquo;s why long term SEO strategies are so important.</p><p><br />No-one can suddenly get their site to no. 1 in the Google rankings with a quick change, not least because that is exactly what Google don&rsquo;t want. Building a site and a service that people actually want to engage with is absolutely essential for any website today, whether it be promoting a well established product or spreading awareness of a completely new brand. In today&rsquo;s world of instant results and impatient employers, people expect success to quickly. Look at football &ndash; how long do football managers last before they&rsquo;re lobbed in the gutter?</p><p><br />Long term strategies and patience are essential characteristics of SEO experts, as is an appreciation of the short term &ndash; you&rsquo;ve got to be able to look at the big picture and then analyse the little details within (hence why SEOs love graphs!). But it&rsquo;s important for clients too &ndash; a watched kettle never boils; don&rsquo;t expect your SEO agency to wield instant results, but watch for the subtle nuances in your progress and expect the wider picture to be positive even if there are blips on the upwards gradient every now and again!</p> ]]> </description>       </item>       <item>        <title>How to write SEO friendly product title and description</title>               <link>http://www.wordsfinder.com/blog/page.php?title=How_to_write_SEO_friendly_product_title_and_description</link>               <pubDate>2009-04-20 10:06:46</pubDate>               <description> <![CDATA[<h2>Writing Product Titles </h2><p class="MsoNormal">Product titles are the equivalent of the product names as they are listed in the manufacturers printed or electronic catalogs. Because people often use the manufacturer's product name from the printed catalog when searching for a product online, the original manufacturer product name and model number should be included in the product titles. For instance if the manufacturer product name is Sony Cyber-Shot DSL-T7, be sure to use the model number as part of the product title.</p><h2 class="MsoNormal">Adding Keywords and Keyword Phrase Variations</h2><p class="MsoNormal">You should also consider adding search keyword phrases to your product titles where it appears natural. The product mentioned above is a digital camera (&quot;digital camera&quot; is a very popular keyword phrase), so you could change your product title from - &quot;Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T7&quot; to either: &quot;Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T7 Digital Camera,&quot; &quot;Sony Cyber-Shot Digital Camera - DSC-T7,&quot; or &quot;Sony Digital Camera - Cyber-Shot DSC-T7.&quot;</p><h2 class="MsoNormal">Writing Product Descriptions That Sell</h2><p class="MsoNormal">Well-written product descriptions serve two purposes. First and foremost, a compelling product description persuades customers to buy a product, and secondarily, it can garner high rankings on the search results pages of the major search engines. When you are writing descriptions for your products, it is important to keep in mind that customers are at a &quot;sensory disadvantage&quot; when they are shopping online since they can only use their sense of sight to evaluate a product. To compensate for this disadvantage, e-commerce Web sites must have compelling product description tailored towards the target audience and excellent product photography, perhaps with multiple views. It's important to bring the product to life on your Web site.</p><p class="MsoNormal">A well-written product description creates a tangible image in the customer's mind of how a product looks, feels, smells, tastes (whatever senses would be important for the user to select the item) and also explains the virtues and benefits of using or owning the product. This description, paired with the customer's imagination, can be far more powerful than the product image alone since it will evoke a feeling and energy about the product that convinces the customer whether or not to click the &quot;buy&quot; or &quot;add to cart&quot; button.</p><h2 class="MsoNormal">Tailoring Product Descriptions to Your Target Audience</h2><p class="MsoNormal">It may be tempting to use the product descriptions supplied by the manufacturer, but these descriptions may use technical language that your average customer might not understand. After all, if these descriptions come out of a vendor catalog, they were probably not written with your customers in mind.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Knowing your</strong> <strong>target audience helps you determine what tone to use</strong>, what style to apply, and whether to be sober, serious, informal or over-the-top. Whatever tone/style you choose, it is important to be consistent with the rest of your site. Make sure that all of the content on your site (product page, informational page, home page, etc.) sounds like it is addressing the same audience. You should also consider extending this writing style to any collateral you use to communicate with potential customers (email, print ads, etc.).</p> <p>After <a href="http://www.testking.com/350-030.htm">350-030</a> for CCIE voice and <a href="http://www.testking.com/70-236.htm">70-236</a> exchange server configuring 2007, all those IT professionals who are interested in security, should definitely go for <a href="http://www.testking.com/646-204.htm">646-204</a> cisco sales expert or at least <a href="http://www.testking.com/640-863.htm">640-863</a> designing for cisco internetwork services, since this will help them a lot in their <a href="http://www.testking.com/220-602.htm">220-602</a> later.
