Business - How to Build a Better Website
| Title : "How to Build a Better Website".Business,Internet,Search Engines Here are some of the things you will need to learn about before you will be able to properly market your website for increased traffic and sales. Link Manipulation: One of the way that the search engines decide your sites ranking in a search is by the amount of back links to your site is finds on the internet. Every day the search engines are searching all the different websites on the internet and they count link and look at content and even the design of the site itself. It will count the number of other sites that have links to your site, and for each one it finds it gives you a point. Some sites will try many different ways to get links to their sites. One way they do this is by going to different message boards and will leave posting totally unrelated to the topic being discussed just so they can add in a link back to their site, even these types of links are counted as recommendations and increase the sites page rank. This is considered to be dirty pool by most search engines and they are trying to eliminate this type of marketing. Junk: Thanks to those who would rather use what is known as "Black Hat" marketing techniques we can no longer open our emails without having to delete all the emails fro cheap pharmaceuticals and unsolicited stock tips, but it does not stop there. Now you have to worry when you do a web search that you may get to a spam site and not a site related to what you are searching for. Webmasters are now making sites with the purpose of bringing in traffic. When you go to the site all you find is some text that usually makes no sense at all and dozens of links and banner ads. These sites make money every time someone clicks one of those links. The site itself has no other purpose then to hold the links. Content: The content of your site is very important. You need to make sure that not only is it relevant to the topic of your site, but that it is interesting or informative to your readers/customers. If you do not change the content on your site and add items regularly you will find that people will stop visiting your site. Lets say you have a travel website and you do not update it often you may still be advertising summer vacations in the winter and will not be making as many winter vacations sales as you should be. Page Rank: Did you ever wonder how a site gets its page rank? Each search engine does it a bit different but the basics are the same. They have a rating system and once a month they check every website on the internet and the sites get put thru this rating process. They check things like ease of use, popularity, content changes since the last time it was checked and they come up with a number and that becomes your page ranking. Ease of Use: It is important to keep in mind when making the site that it needs to be easy to get from one page to another, and that everything is in a logical order to make things easy to find next time. How well the site is designed is a factor in your ranking. By taking these things into account when building a new site you will make your live much easier.
