internet has became a staple in the daily lives of the majority of people around the world, it is important for business owners to realize how much their company can benefit from having a properly <strong>optimized web site</strong>.  Regardless of whether a company sells products or services, having a web site that is properly optimized can and will provide several major benefits for any company.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Obviously, the first major benefit of having a web site for your company is an increase in revenue.  As long as your web site is properly optimized by a professional firm, your web site will help you <strong>increase your sales</strong> of your company’s products or services.  When a web site is properly optimized, it will be able to attract <strong>targeted visitors</strong>.  This means that the majority of the traffic your web site receives will be people that are already interested in the products or services your company is providing, which will make the task of completing a sale much easier (instead of trying to complete a sale with an un-targeted visitor).</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to increasing your company’s revenues, a quality web site will increase the awareness of your company’s brand.  Because people will consistently see your web site when they are searching for something in your industry, they will associate your<strong> company’s brand</strong> and <strong>name</strong> as a reliable leader in that industry.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, when your company has its own web site, it will actually increase your company’s <strong>credibility in the off-line world</strong>.  Because people expect businesses of all sizes to have their own web site, when you are able to print your web site’s URL on materials such as business cards or fliers, people will instantly feel that your company is more credible than one of your competitors that has not taken the time to have a web site created for their company.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to have a properly optimized web site that your potential customers will actually be able to find when they visit a search engine like<strong> Google</strong>, you need to work with an internet marketing SEO firm.  In case you are not familiar with this terminology, an internet marketing SEO firm combines the practices of internet marketing and SEO (search engine optimization) to provide their customers with the highest level of service.  Internet marketing methods include search engine marketing, <strong>blog marketing</strong>,<strong> social media marketing</strong>, <strong>email marketing</strong>, <strong>sms marketing</strong> and <strong>media planning</strong> while search engine optimization is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via natural search results.  Although many firms only focus on internet

Connecting with customers</h3>\r\nThis is the  main reason why you should use twitter for your business. You will be able to connect with your customers because they themselves are using twitter. Twitter has become a daily routine where people log onto it every single day, some log onto twitter the first thing they wake up even before brushing their teeth. If you have an unsatisfied customer you will hear them on twitter. This will help your company to help them.\r\n<h3>2. Branding</h3>\r\nYou don’t have to be a big brand like Dell, Nike, Starbucks to brand yourself on twitter. You can be an average joe and brand yourself on twitter. For me if your company is not recognize then you need to get a PERSONAL account. Why? Firstly nobody want to talk to a LOGO unless its a famous brand. Everyone wants to connect with a person and not a bot.\r\n<h3>3. Customers feedback</h3>\r\nOnce you have connected with your customers you will for sure be getting feedback on how you can improve your product, your services and maybe even improve your customers service. Listening to them will help you in the future.\r\n<h3>4. Marketing</h3>\r\nOne of the reasons to use twitter is you get to market your product or services to more people and the best part about that is its FREE. You don’t have to pay (Unless if you plan to hire someone to run your twitter account).\r\n<h3>5. News</h3>\r\nYou can also give latest updates on twitter about your company by tweeting.\r\n<h3>6. Give away coupon codes and promotions</h3>\r\nYou can also tweet about new deals and coupons codes to help give your company the extra boost. What everyone love include me is getting a good deal. Weather its a promotional lunch set, if its cheap. I want it. Here is  a tweet on Dell is doing it.\r\n\r\nFor me you don’t have to be like dell in order to do this. You can have a normal business as well. If you have a restaurant and you have build loyal or new followers in your place you can send out tweet like “Having a special set lunch this weekend.” or something like that. They can tweet you for more information regarding that.\r\n<h3>7. Twitter is Viral</h3>\r\nIf you’ve have succeeded gaining some popularity with your twitter account you will know how viral twitter can be. This will be part of your marketing strategies that you can use in the future. Dell have succeeded in making their tweets viral with their promotion tweets.\r\n<h3>8. Spying on competition</h3>\r\nDid you know you can spy on competition too? Best part about this and spying on customers is that its FREE using twitter search. You can not only read what customers are talking about you but you can also read what customers are talking about your competition. If your competition is not doing anything with their customers complaints. Then what happens if you (the savior) suddenly tweet them “hey I heard you have a problem with…..” Just an example.\r\n<h3>9. Increase Sales</h3>\r\nTwitter can help you increase sales and make PROFIT. Dell is one of the company that have increase their sales on twitter. How much sales? Imagine\r\n<h3>10. Brand loyalty</h3>\r\nAt the end of the day, once you have engaged, helped your customers (your followers) on twitter. They will be loyal to your brand for a long time. This will be talked more in the future post.','Why Twitter Marketing','','inherit','open','open','','542-revision-3','','','2011-08-30 02:03:43','2011-08-29 18:03:43','',542,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/717',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(718,1,'2011-08-31 02:49:40','2011-08-30 18:49:40','<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why Facebook Marketing?</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Customer Interaction</strong> – Facebook pages provide a forum for dialogue between customers and the brand, giving companies the opportunity to build better relationships with target audiences and current customers.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reputation Management – Facebook allows a company to gain a deeper understanding of how the brand is perceived online – through direct feedback and also by monitoring what users are saying about the brand.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>New Customer Acquisition</strong> – Each time a Facebook user becomes a fan of a Facebook page, a notice is posted as news item for all of that user’s friends to see.

It contains the structure of the website along with the included links to the major parts and subsections of the website.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A <strong>website’s sitemap</strong> has a practical and essential use. It makes it easier for visitors to visit through and navigate the website. The <strong>navigational</strong> help ensures that they do not get lost and that they will not have to look futilely for the information or page that they need. A visitor who immediately finds the information that he needs quickly in a website has a higher chance of coming back for another visit.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many website administrators, designers and webmasters do not fully exploit the uses and benefits of having a good sitemap. For most of them, merely providing a list of links that do not really give a good service to visitors to the website is more than adequate. For them, as long as spiders can find the pages in their website then they are content. But wouldn’t it better if you can design a sitemap page that is not only big help to your visitors but also adds value to your website?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The characteristic of a good sitemap is that each link has an accompanying description about the target page for each link. This helps visitors who go to your site and would rely on it in navigating through your webpages.\r\nLet’s look at two examples:</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Example 1</strong>\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Link with no description</span>\r\nRock music</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Example 2</strong>\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Link with description</span>\r\nRock music, the history of British rock music, From the Beatles to the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Duran Duran, U2, The best British bands and rock acts in history. Trace how rock music in Britain evolved.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a definite difference between these two examples. From a mere cursory look at the two examples it is obviously apparent that the second example is far more effective in giving the proper information to visitors. Website visitors are more likely to appreciate the kind of listing illustrated in Example No. 2. This is because most people are more at home with a search engine style listing because it is easier to navigate. No one would like to visit a website and see a sitemap presented similarly to the first example because there is a complete lack of information.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is also an added benefit to making a descriptive sitemap. It helps in raising your search engine ranking.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By building your sitemap in such a way that you put all the links to related pages on each sitemap page, you are making, in effect, a themed sitemap page. Let us say that you have 7 pages that all relate to British rock music, by putting it all together you make a British rock music themepage. This kind of page will have the element a search engine considers is essential for a high ranking web page: keyword rich text.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It pays to make a good sitemap. Making a conscious effort to make one will bring <strong>great benefits to your website</strong>.</p>','Anatomy to a good sitemap','','inherit','open','open','','590-autosave','','','2011-08-31 05:15:51','2011-08-30 21:15:51','',590,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/727',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(728,1,'2011-08-31 01:11:07','2011-08-30 17:11:07','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What Is Organic SEO?</strong>\r\nPut in the simplest manner possible, organic SEO is search engine optimization done manually using no black hat methods, no underhand methods and no automated scripting. It is the purest form of optimizing your website for the benefit of search engines, while still retaining interest for your site visitors, and done well it is exactly the thing that search engines are looking for in a website. Once they find it they will reward your site with better rankings and improved positions within the search engine results pages. Throughout the course of this article it will be referred to as simply SEO.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Understanding The Search Engines</strong>\r\nUnderstanding Search Engines and their general concept is vital to the use of effective SEO methods. Search engines enable their visitors to enter a specific word or term, known as keywords. Once submitted, all pages containing those keywords that can be found in the search engine’s directory are listed on the search engine result pages. Each page is ranked?according to relevancy, popularity and a few other factors. Therefore, in theory, the more relevant a page is to a given keyword the more likely it will appear at the top of the listings.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Introducing The Search Engine Spiders</strong>\r\nAnother important factor to remember about search engines is that they don’t use real people to crawl the billions of websites and judge how relevant they are. Instead they use automated software called a spider that does this work much quicker. The calculations that the search engine uses to determine the ranking of a website are called algorithms and in the case of the major search engines like <strong>Google, Yahoo </strong>and<strong> MSN</strong> these algorithms are changed on a regular basis. The changes and the specifics of the algorithms are not released to the public in order to prevent black hat SEOs from manipulating their sites to reach the top of the pile despite containing to information relevant to the search query or keyword.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Optimizing For Search Engines ? Optimizing For Visitors</strong>\r\nOf course to some extent, all of us reading this article are probably guilty of altering our web pages to meet the whims of search engines but it must be done in a positive and organic way. We understand that optimizing a page purely for the benefit of search engines spiders may massively detract from the actual value of the site to your visitors. Search engines understand this too, hence the evolution of the algorithms. With each new algorithm created and usually patented by search engines like Google, we are getting closer to a structure whereby sites are genuinely judged on their value to visitors. It may sound like an Isaac Asimov novel but the <strong>algorithms</strong> and the <strong>spiders</strong> are basically becoming more human like.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Basic Components Of SEO</strong>\r\nThe actual methods of optimizing your website are saved for another article, but the basic components of an SEO campaign are broken down into<strong> on page</strong> and <strong>off page</strong> optimization techniques. On page SEO includes factors like keyword inclusion, content optimization, page structure etc? whereas the main contributing factor of off page optimization is inbound links. There are many different factors to each of these areas and different SEOs will give you varying information on which factors are the most relevant to gain higher rankings. These extensive differences in opinion occur because nobody is certain of the algorithm criteria.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The Benefits Of SEO</strong>\r\nSEO is probably the most beneficial way to conduct Internet promotion. It is highly cost effective, can yield long term results and the leads it generates are opt in and targeted. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider trying out alternative methods of advertising your site. For many, banner advertisements, press releases (can actually be used as part of an SEO campaign as well), PPC campaigns and sponsored listings prove to highly beneficial and including these will help your site’s popularity.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>To Cost Effectiveness And To Life</strong>\r\nThe cost effectiveness is easily determined when you look at the potential of an SEO campaign compared to the method that many consider to be the next best thing ?PPC. A PPC campaign will usually cost you anywhere upward of 5 cents per visitor generated. This means that for every thousand visitors you receive you will have paid $50. Some fairly basic SEO work on a web site containing ten pages will generate this kind of traffic on a monthly basis relatively quickly.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\r\n$50 doesn’t sound much but consider that you pay this in one month to receive the desired one thousand visitors. Over the space of a year you will have paid $600, and so on. Now consider that you are competing for a relatively competitive keyword and you find that you need to be paying a minimum of 50 cents per click to generate just the one thousand clicks in a month. All of a sudden youre paying $6000 per year and you are still only getting one thousand clicks every month. $6000 will buy you an awful lot of SEO work and you should find that within a few months you are generating a lot more traffic using SEO.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Targeted Leads</strong>\r\nTargeted leads are the best type of leads you can generate. It means that the visitors to your site are already predisposed to the basic topic of your site and are interested in what you have to say. It means that they will be more likely to purchase goods or services from your site, click on affiliate links or click Google ads to earn you revenue. Because SEO leads are physically searching for the topic that your site relates to you are guaranteed that they are interested in whatever you’re offering. First of all they search using keywords relevant to your site. They then read the description and name of your site and this further compounds their interest in the page in question and click on the link. Already they have become highly susceptible to the message of your web page.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So Remember? SEO is a webmaster’s greatest tool but treated badly it can quickly blow up in your face. By ensuring you stick to the very letter of the law and do not use any underhand methods you should soon benefit from powerful leads that will frequent your site and earn you revenue.</p>','A Guide to Organic SEO','','inherit','open','open','','592-revision-2','','','2011-08-31 01:11:07','2011-08-30 17:11:07','',592,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/728',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(729,1,'2011-08-31 05:20:19','2011-08-30 21:20:19','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yoh, here we go for the SEO tips  - Part II.

The very nature of the Internet has always been cooperative and there is nothing about SEO that can’t be learned, with a heavy dose of time and money. A reputable SEO firm will give you an item per item breakdown of just where the money goes. Be wary if you sense a secretive atmosphere or any unwillingness to answer questions.

Content. Content.</strong> Effective, professional, optimized Copywriting is the single, most important factor in any SEO campaign. Search engines index websites based on the content found on each page of the site. With a thorough understanding of the language and grammatical conventions combined with intensive research, to find and exploit the market focus, one can move a website to the upper echelon of the “SERP’s” (Search Engine Results Page) in a methodical as well as ethical manner.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. <strong>Analyze Web Logs</strong>. Measure everything, at least twice, and then check again. While I would be the first to say that many of the procedures that make up website optimization are more art than science, one needs to take a very scientific approach to the results of the effort. This is done by methodically keeping a record of, and making an analysis of the sites web logs. There are a number of specialized software which make the job easier but at the bare minimum, one needs to keep a close eye on the site visitors and their activity while on the site. No matter how well planned the strategy, it is largely theoretical until proven by the results, which can only be measured by the logs, and a thorough analysis of their content.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. <strong>No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google</strong>, or any other search engine. Those who promise such feats will either optimize for such vague search term phrases (such as, “green stunted widgets with purple Polka-dots and icing”) that no one will ever likely look for, or they are making a false claim, which they have no intention of keeping, or they have an inside edge at Google, something which they will loose, quickly, when the honest folks at Google find out about it. The other option, that they will take the money and run, is worth mentioning here but I’ll be polite.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. <strong>Some things are just plain silly</strong>. You don’t need to submit your site to 50,000 search engines. Businesses which offer this service are suspect, at best. 85% of the search results on the Internet come from one search engine, which, if you have one link from an established website, or better yet, a directory, will find your site just fine, on it’s own. Four (4) search engines account for over 90% of the traffic on the web. As for any supposed benefit which may accrue from being listed in an obscure search engine in Botswana which specializes in safaris to the Kalahari Desert and receives 7 hits per day; well, you figure it out.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. <strong>SEO is not Pay-per-Click</strong>. While no one would argue the effectiveness of getting increased traffic and sales, through a well planned, pay-per-click campaign, the fact remains that the conversion rates are generally low and they cease the moment the “pay” stops. With a well planned and executed SEO campaign, while results may take a bit longer, they continue to produce, and in fact grow, long after the work is done and paid for. Quite often we have found that after a thorough optimization of a site, only minor adjustments are needed on an ongoing basis, primarily related to new content and/or new items of sale or service.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>','SEO tips for beginner - Part I','','inherit','open','open','','648-revision-2','','','2011-08-31 03:06:51','2011-08-30 19:06:51','',648,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/731',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(732,1,'2011-08-31 05:16:56','2011-08-30 21:16:56','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yoh, here we go for the SEO tips  - Part II. Wish you start to understand more about SEO rather than just theory.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">6. <strong>SEO is not witchcraft, Druidism, shamanism</strong>. Neither does it require any special chants, ceremonial fires, or vestments, though some of us do like to howl at the full moon, on occasion. There are no “Top Secret” practices which a reputable SEO can not tell a client, a judge, or his mother, for that matter. The very nature of the Internet has always been cooperative and there is nothing about SEO that can’t be learned, with a heavy dose of time and money. A reputable SEO firm will give you an item per item breakdown of just where the money goes. Be wary if you sense a secretive atmosphere or any unwillingness to answer questions. While there are technical points which might take some background to fully understand, if one has a solid overview of the entire situation, a simple explanation should be easy enough to come up with.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">7. <strong>Do-it-yourself SEO</strong>. Yes, you can execute your own SEO campaign and find a reputable SEO firm to help plan and organize it for you. About one half of my own clientele do some part of the actual work themselves, or have their in-house dedicated personnel do it, after discussion of the goals and aims of the business/website, a thorough website analysis, comprehensive search phrase research, and focused instruction on the ways and means of achieving high SERPs. These preliminaries are followed up with a detailed program of suggestions and methods which the client can then implement themselves or hire others to perform. Average savings; 30-40%.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">8.<strong> Phased Implementation.</strong> While many companies spend thousands of dollars per month on Search Engine Optimization, an alternative is available which will pay dividends to you in increased sales and leads without the high initial investment. The most important consideration is to have a reputable firm handle the initial evaluation and suggested optimization planning first. The trial and error method will cost much more, in the long run, with or without the desired result. After studying the plan and establishing a workable budget you may implement the plan as finances allow.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">9. Remember the old saying, <strong>“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”</strong> Never was this more true than in the realm of SEO. While concrete and measurable gains will always come from a well thought out and executed optimization strategy, the Internet is a competitive media and we all want to be number one. Accept that a steady upward movement, over time, will place you worlds ahead of a flash followed by a crash.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">10. <strong>A thought to ponder.</strong> At stake, in the race for the top, is the very existence of your website, your business, and quite possibly your reputation. Beware of any “shortcuts” or less than ethical schemes that anyone might suggest to further your business goals. When it’s all said and done it is you, the business owner, who bears the responsibility for any company or individual you hire. Insist on knowing exactly what the strategy is and what steps are being performed to implement it. If it seems, in the least, suspicious, ask for and get an explanation. In this case, not only is Ignorance not bliss, it could very well be the beginning of the end for your business.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">11. <strong>All incoming links are not created equal.</strong> Both the relevance to your line of business and website subject matter and the PR value of the incoming link determine how valuable they are to your own PR ranking. With Google starting the trend, nothing new there, and most of the others following close behind, the days of grabbing all the inbound links, in any way possible, are gone. Not only will low ranked and/or irrelevant inbound links not help, they will, in fact, cause a penalty. Link farms, free-for-all link schemes, automated link accumulation software, or any other fad that doesn’t carefully screen the links and websites they are coming from will, in the long run, do more harm than good.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">12.<strong> It’s more than just facts and figures.</strong> The relationship between an online business and SEO is, perhaps, one of the closest of business relationships. In order to be effective, a SEO must know not only the facts and figures pertaining to the endeavor, but s/he must know something of the dreams and aspirations of the business principals. Things which don’t normally come out in a prospectus are often invaluable information when searching for the “right fit” into the complex world of the Internet. My own clients sometimes ask, due to the frequency of my calls and email in the early phases, “Am I your only client?” I usually laugh and say something to the effect that until I know your business almost as well as you do, yes, you are the only one that counts.</p>','SEO tips for beginner - Part I','','inherit','open','open','','650-revision-4','','','2011-08-31 05:16:56','2011-08-30 21:16:56','',650,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/732',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(735,1,'2011-08-31 05:22:29','2011-08-30 21:22:29','<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">You know all that extra time you have to work on Search Engine Optimization? [A little sarcasm there] Actually, I tried to put together a list of quick things you can do that will help you move a little higher in your Google or Yahoo results.</ol>\r\n<strong>1. Get listed in more search engines</strong>. There are tons of them out there. There are also many free services that will help you get listed. Or just set aside some time to get it done yourself. Here is a free search engine submission site that will let you cycle through the top 100 search engines and get your site submitted.\r\n<strong>2. Get listed in more directories</strong>. Again, there are a lot of them out there. Look for higher pagerank directories. Improvingrank.com has some listed by pagerank. Look on the left side of the homepage.\r\n<strong>3. Clean up your html and check your links.</strong> You want the bots to have smooth sailing through your site. Use the tools on W3c.org and have a real person check them over too.\r\n<strong>4. Get a few more links to your site.</strong> Make them relevant and at least the same pagerank as you.\r\n5. Make your page <strong>filenames descriptive</strong> and <strong>keyword rich</strong>. Naming your page new_page_1.html is wasting an opportunity to do some SEO. Use names that describe the content and keep the keywords flowing.\r\n6. Check your <strong>Title tags</strong>. You can use 90 – 100 characters in the title, so add some keywords. We know Google looks at them, and so do many more search engines.\r\n7. Check your <strong>ALT tags</strong>. Searchbots can\'t see pictures. Make sure you have ALT tags on all of your pictures, and make sure they are descriptive and keyword rich.\r\n<strong>8. Rewrite your URL (anchor) tag</strong>s. Good anchor tags (the text between the http: and /a tags) reinforce the message and key words of your site.\r\n9. Go post in a few <strong>forums</strong> and put your website in your <strong>signature</strong>. Forums are a great place to put one way links. And you can help somebody out at the same time.\r\n10. Put together a text based <strong>sitemap</strong> and put it on your site. There’r a lot of navigation that spiders can’t understand, such as flash, forms, java and javascript. Putting together a text-based sitemap gives the bots a way to navigate around the site.\r\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fifteen minutes every couple of days will make a huge difference in getting your rank higher.</ol>','10 Quick Things You Can Do Today To Improve Your Search Ranking','','inherit','open','open','','659-revision-6','','','2011-08-31 05:22:29','2011-08-30 21:22:29','',659,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/735',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(737,1,'2011-08-31 04:12:12','2011-08-30 20:12:12','<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">Link Popularity as you know plays a BIG part in your websites ranking within the Search Engines.

They are knowledgeable and willing to work on their client’s site, but the client doesn’t want any modifications done to the text that is visible on her web pages. This kind of dilemma occurs due to general misconceptions about search engine optimization. Let’s look at these misconceptions.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1. SEO only involves writing meta tags and working on invisible’s code</strong>\r\nMany people want to get a high ranking for various keywords or keyword phrases, but if you look at the text on their web pages you can hardly find these vital words. They come to a search engine optimizer and think that he or she will sprinkle these words into the meta tags and it will work like magic. This is a major misunderstanding.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is true that your main keywords and key phrases should be in your title tag and your description meta tag, and even in the keywords meta tag, but they must also appear on the page itself and they must appear in some strategic places on that page. Some clients say, but I like the way it looks now.?You may like the way it looks, but the search engines will not recognize that your page is truly about Electronic Widgets unless these words appear in headlines on the page, in the opening paragraph, in the file or domain name in link text and in the body text of your page.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, by all means if you already have copy that works, that can convert visitors into buyers or otherwise accomplish the purposes of your site, keep it. But you should also be ready to listen to what the optimizer has to say about modifications that will enable search engines to select your site when a potential buyer makes a query for your key words or phrases.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Search Engine Optimization is Tricking the Search Engines</strong>\r\nSome clients say, don’t touch the visible copy but put in the modifications invisibly.?Using invisible text is something that can get you banned from a search engine. The main purpose of search engine optimization is to give your website the best possible chance to come up in good positions when someone makes a query for your keywords or key phrases. The key to doing this is to design web pages and write copy that is intelligible to search engines, without sacrificing the experience and understanding of your end-users, the people who visit your site. So, don’t ask your SEO professional to try to trick the search engines, but work with him or her to present your website in the best possible way.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Search Engine Optimization deals mainly with onsite modifications</strong>\r\nEven if your website is well designed, has proper meta tags and has keyword-rich text, this alone does not guarantee that your site will rank high in competitive queries. All of these factors, design, meta tags, and copy, are on-site factors. Search engines certainly take them into consideration, but they also value off-site factors such as how many high quality or authoritative websites link to you. This means that hand-in-hand with your on-site optimization you and your promotion team will have to embark on a campaign to get links to your websites coming from websites that are already highly regarded by the search engines and by the public in general.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Search Engine Optimization works instantly</strong>\r\nDon’t expect to get a flood of traffic right after your site has been optimized. Some search engines work in a fairly rapid manner, but the main search engine at the present moment, Google, is believed to have deliberately put an aging delay into its algorithm. This means that it may take several months before your site makes it into the top results for your particular category, especially if it is a newly created site. During this initial period you will also have to consider using other promotional methods such as pay per click advertising, article marketing, joint ventures, paid advertising in ezines and offline advertising.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5. Search Engine Optimization is Prohibitively Expensive</strong>\r\nWhile it is true that very large organizations, ordering services from the top SEO companies, can end up spending thousands of dollars on their optimization campaigns, search engine optimization can be the most inexpensive and cost-effective option for web site promotion.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you launch a modest pay per click campaign and pay five cents per click and get 100 clicks per day, then your cost is $5.00 per day or $1825 per year. If you learn how to optimize your pages by yourself you may be able to get natural search engine traffic without paying the pay per click fees. This is in fact what many webmasters do. Or, if you opt for a modest search engine optimization package froma professional you can end up spending less than the pay per click fees.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So the next time you hear one of the myths about search engine optimization don’t accept it blindly.</p>','Common Myths About Search Engine Optimization','','publish','open','open','','common-myths-about-search-engine-optimization','','','2011-08-31 05:52:00','2011-08-30 21:52:00','',0,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/?p=759',0,'post','',0,NULL),(758,1,'2011-08-31 05:48:13','2011-08-30 21:48:13','&lt;object width=\"515\" height=\"280\"&gt;&lt;param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/e3BoURkcNh8?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0\" /&gt;&lt;param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /&gt;&lt;param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /&gt;&lt;embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"515\" height=\"280\" src=\"http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/e3BoURkcNh8?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;','Why social media market?','','inherit','open','open','','755-revision-2','','','2011-08-31 05:48:13','2011-08-30 21:48:13','',755,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/758',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(760,1,'2011-08-31 05:51:20','2011-08-30 21:51:20','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Picture this scene, an adolescent boy walks into a barber shop and says to the barber, don;t touch me, I’ll only here because my mom forced me.?Search engine optimizers are sometimes put into the position of the barber.

SEO only involves writing meta tags and working on invisible’s code</strong>\r\nMany people want to get a high ranking for various keywords or keyword phrases, but if you look at the text on their web pages you can hardly find these vital words. They come to a search engine optimizer and think that he or she will sprinkle these words into the meta tags and it will work like magic. This is a major misunderstanding.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is true that your main keywords and key phrases should be in your title tag and your description meta tag, and even in the keywords meta tag, but they must also appear on the page itself and they must appear in some strategic places on that page. Some clients say, but I like the way it looks now.?You may like the way it looks, but the search engines will not recognize that your page is truly about Electronic Widgets unless these words appear in headlines on the page, in the opening paragraph, in the file or domain name in link text and in the body text of your page.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, by all means if you already have copy that works, that can convert visitors into buyers or otherwise accomplish the purposes of your site, keep it. But you should also be ready to listen to what the optimizer has to say about modifications that will enable search engines to select your site when a potential buyer makes a query for your key words or phrases.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Search Engine Optimization is Tricking the Search Engines</strong>\r\nSome clients say, don’t touch the visible copy but put in the modifications invisibly.?Using invisible text is something that can get you banned from a search engine. The main purpose of search engine optimization is to give your website the best possible chance to come up in good positions when someone makes a query for your keywords or key phrases. The key to doing this is to design web pages and write copy that is intelligible to search engines, without sacrificing the experience and understanding of your end-users, the people who visit your site. So, don’t ask your SEO professional to try to trick the search engines, but work with him or her to present your website in the best possible way.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Search Engine Optimization deals mainly with onsite modifications</strong>\r\nEven if your website is well designed, has proper meta tags and has keyword-rich text, this alone does not guarantee that your site will rank high in competitive queries. All of these factors, design, meta tags, and copy, are on-site factors. Search engines certainly take them into consideration, but they also value off-site factors such as how many high quality or authoritative websites link to you. This means that hand-in-hand with your on-site optimization you and your promotion team will have to embark on a campaign to get links to your websites coming from websites that are already highly regarded by the search engines and by the public in general.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Search Engine Optimization works instantly</strong>\r\nDon’t expect to get a flood of traffic right after your site has been optimized. Some search engines work in a fairly rapid manner, but the main search engine at the present moment, Google, is believed to have deliberately put an aging delay into its algorithm. This means that it may take several months before your site makes it into the top results for your particular category, especially if it is a newly created site. During this initial period you will also have to consider using other promotional methods such as pay per click advertising, article marketing, joint ventures, paid advertising in ezines and offline advertising.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5. Search Engine Optimization is Prohibitively Expensive</strong>\r\nWhile it is true that very large organizations, ordering services from the top SEO companies, can end up spending thousands of dollars on their optimization campaigns, search engine optimization can be the most inexpensive and cost-effective option for web site promotion.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you launch a modest pay per click campaign and pay five cents per click and get 100 clicks per day, then your cost is $5.00 per day or $1825 per year. If you learn how to optimize your pages by yourself you may be able to get natural search engine traffic without paying the pay per click fees. This is in fact what many webmasters do. Or, if you opt for a modest search engine optimization package froma professional you can end up spending less than the pay per click fees.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So the next time you hear one of the myths about search engine optimization don’t accept it blindly.</p>','Common Myths About Search Engine Optimization','','inherit','open','open','','759-autosave','','','2011-08-31 05:52:04','2011-08-30 21:52:04','',759,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/761',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(762,1,'2011-03-07 05:52:19','2011-03-06 21:52:19','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A webmaster or website owner’s role or responsibilities do not end when the website he operates goes live? and is now accessible by visitors online.

It’s in this discussion that the white hat and black hat merge to become a grey hat.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In fact, white hat fanatics might charge that those who write articles specifically to utilize keyword repetition are manipulating the system and are dabbling in black hat SEO. The less fanatical may point to links as a grey area. Search engines don’t want links on a site purely to drive traffic. However, if links are related to the content on the site, then that’s okay. But what about those sites where there are paid links that have nothing whatsoever to do with the content of the site they grace? Paid links as advertisements are white hat. Paid links purely for driving traffic, black hat. True motivation of the webmaster? Grey hat.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When it comes down to it, everyone who utilizes search engines in hopes of gaining top rankings are going to use optimization in order to climb to the top of those rankings. If motivation is the only concern, then it is an issue of politics that need not take up your time. Just know that if you use technology, link farms, and other banned resources that are designed purely to drive traffic and you get caught, you will be <strong>blacklisted</strong> from the search engine. If it’s worth the risk to you, then do what you have to do. <strong>The choice is yours.</strong></p>','Black Hat SEO Versus White Hat SEO','','inherit','open','open','','766-autosave','','','2011-08-31 06:01:51','2011-08-30 22:01:51','',766,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/768',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(769,1,'2011-03-31 06:02:09','2011-03-30 22:02:09','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are very few businesses these days that don’t have websites, and as a home business your website is one of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal.

Hiring a web designer, though, can be prohibitively expensive. Luckily for you, the Internet puts you in touch with designers all over the world, and it’s easy to hire one of them very cheaply to design your website.

The best way of doing this is to have fresh and useful content on there. Write short articles about the kind of things your customers might be interested in.

Traffic is to Internet marketing as location is to real estate. It’s the only thing that really matters. If you cannot generate targeted visitors to your site, you will not make any sales. Usually the owner or designer of the website is the person designated to drive traffic to the site. The chief ingredient in generating traffic is the search engine. Of coarse, you can use advertising, but it’s going to cost you. Using the search engines to generate targeted (interested in your product) traffic is the least expensive method known.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unfortunately, many website owners do not understand the importance of search engine visibility, which leads to traffic. They place more importance on producing a “pretty” website. Not that this is bad, but it is really secondary to search engine placement.

Not using keywords effectively. </strong>\r\nThis is probably one of the most critical area of site design. Choose the right keywords and potential customers will find your site. Use the wrong ones and your site will see little, if any, traffic.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2.

Robbing pages from other websites. </strong>\r\nHow many times have you heard or read that “this is the Internet and it’s ok” to steal icons and text from websites to use on your site. Don’t do it. Its one thing to learn from others who have been there and another to outright copy their work. The search engines are very smart and usually detect page duplication. They may even prevent you from ever being listed by them.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Using keywords that are not related to your website. </strong>\r\nMany unethical website owners try to gain search engine visibility by using keywords that have nothing at all to do with their website. They place unrelated keywords in a page (such as “sex”, the name of a known celebrity, the hot search topic of the day, etc.) inside a meta tag for a page. The keyword doesn’t have anything to do with the page topic. However, since the keyword is popular, they think this will boost their visibility. This technique is considered spam by the search engines and may cause the page (or sometimes the whole site) to be removed from the search engine listing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5. Keyword stuffing. </strong>\r\nSomewhat like keyword stacking listed above, this means to assign multiple keywords to the description of a graphic or layer that appears on your website by using the “alt=” HTML parameter. If the search engines find that this text does not really describe the graphic or layer it will be considered spam.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>6.

They place more importance on producing a “pretty” website. Not that this is bad, but it is really secondary to search engine placement. Hopefully, the following list of common mistakes, made by many website owners, will help you generate more targeted traffic to your site…after all, isn’t that what you want.\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Not using keywords effectively. </strong>\r\nThis is probably one of the most critical area of site design. Choose the right keywords and potential customers will find your site. Use the wrong ones and your site will see little, if any, traffic.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Repeating the same keywords. </strong>\r\nWhen you use the same keywords over and over again (called keyword stacking) the search engines may downgrade (or skip) the page or site.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Robbing pages from other websites. </strong>\r\nHow many times have you heard or read that “this is the Internet and it’s ok” to steal icons and text from websites to use on your site. Don’t do it. Its one thing to learn from others who have been there and another to outright copy their work. The search engines are very smart and usually detect page duplication. They may even prevent you from ever being listed by them.\r\n\r\n<strong>4. Using keywords that are not related to your website. </strong>\r\nMany unethical website owners try to gain search engine visibility by using keywords that have nothing at all to do with their website. They place unrelated keywords in a page (such as “sex”, the name of a known celebrity, the hot search topic of the day, etc.) inside a meta tag for a page. The keyword doesn’t have anything to do with the page topic. However, since the keyword is popular, they think this will boost their visibility. This technique is considered spam by the search engines and may cause the page (or sometimes the whole site) to be removed from the search engine listing.\r\n\r\n<strong>5. Keyword stuffing. </strong>\r\nSomewhat like keyword stacking listed above, this means to assign multiple keywords to the description of a graphic or layer that appears on your website by using the “alt=” HTML parameter. If the search engines find that this text does not really describe the graphic or layer it will be considered spam.\r\n\r\n<strong>6. Relying on hidden text.</strong>\r\nYou might be inclined to think that if you cannot see it, it doesn’t hurt. Wrong…. Do not try to hide your keywords or keyword phrases by making them invisible. For example, some unethical designers my set the keywords to the same color as the background of the web page; thereby, making it invisible.\r\n\r\n<strong>7. Relying on tiny text. </strong>\r\nThis is another version of the item above (relying on hidden text). Do not try to hide your keywords or keyword phrases by making them tiny. Setting the text size of the keywords so small that it can barely be seen does this.\r\n\r\n<strong>8. Assuming all search engines are the same. </strong>\r\nMany people assume that each search engine plays by the same rules. This is not so. Each has their own rule base and is subject to change anytime they so desire. Make it a point to learn what each major search engine requires for high visibility.\r\n\r\n<strong>9. Using free web hosting. </strong>\r\nDo not use free web hosting if you are really serious about increasing site traffic via search engine visibility. Many times the search engines will eliminate content from these free hosts.\r\n\r\n<strong>10. Forgetting to check for missing web page elements. </strong>\r\nMake sure to check every page in your website for completeness, like missing links, graphics, etc. There are sites on the web that will do this for free.\r\nThis is just a few of the methods and techniques that you should avoid. Do not give in to the temptation that these methods will work for you. They will do more harm than good for your website.\r\n\r\nNot only will you spend weeks of wasted effort, you may have your site banned from the search engines forever. Invest a little time to learn the proper techniques for increasing search engine visibility and your net traffic will increase.','Common costly Search Engine Mistakes to Avoid','','inherit','open','open','','772-revision-2','','','2011-08-31 06:06:06','2011-08-30 22:06:06','',772,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/775',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(776,1,'2011-04-12 06:06:42','2011-04-11 22:06:42','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Malaysia SME Companies are rushing to understand and get involved in social media.

Even if you’re a confident writer, sometimes it’s hard to see the forest for the trees. A professional writer can give you the outsider’s viewpoint that your website really needs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Whether you’ve hired a pro or not, it’s important that your website copy is catchy and keeps the reader interested. </strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It doesn’t need to read like it was written by a stand-up comic. But if it’s too dry, customers that need a little more persuasion will easily become bored and leave your site.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>It’s equally important that your copy is free of grammatical, typographical, and spelling errors. </strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Website copy should be clean, easy to read, and flow well. If your copy is awkward and difficult to follow, visitors are free to conclude that your services will be delivered in the same way.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>On top of all of this, website copy should be brief and to the point. </strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Traditional copy is made up of traditionally long paragraphs and long sentences. Website copy, on the other hand, needs to be very concise. It is necessary to say what you need to say in as few words as you possibly can.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Your copy should also be structured in a way that is visually easy to read.</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It should be written in short paragraphs. Listing your points in bullets and highlighting key words can communicate the necessary information quickly and effectively. In terms of the words on the page, less is definitely more.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Website copy can also serve to drive visitors to your site. </strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Including key words and phrases in your website copy can help your site rank higher in search engine listings when visitors search for those key words. Optimizing your site’s search engine ranking is a very sophisticated process. But your copy alone can improve your rank.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Lastly, website copy should be persuasive.</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There’s a lot to know about writing persuasive sales copy for your website and you don’t want to hit your viewer over the head with your agenda. But you can definitely benefit from copy that leans on the consumer’s inclination to purchase your product.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When it comes to website copy, it’s important to emphasize quality over quantity.

Not to mention, you have to decide on a unique aesthetic and design for your website that represents your company and sets it aside from others in the industry. It’s easy to get in over your head.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before you proceed with the actual development of your website, it’s important to discuss all elements in detail with your web designer.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>This part of the process is known as a website brief. </strong></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A well-structured brief will have a number of different elements. Mostly it will address your expectations and goals for your website and provide the developer with all the necessary information and tools he needs from you in order to create a successful site. The brief will also enable you to make decisions, keep the project on track, and redirect if necessary.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When preparing a brief for your web developer, include information about your business, goals for the project, website content, target market, expectations, deadlines, and contact information. The web developer should have a thorough understanding of your business and industry and what you’re hoping this new website will do for your business. Also, thoroughly describe your clients and target demographic, what they expect from you and your company.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also, in order to speed the project along, include all the information and material the developer needs from you to move forward with building the website. This can include any number of things from photos, illustrations, copy and product information, to audio files, logos, testimonials and other content.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The brief is also a great area to address the all-important website design. </strong></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your web developer is also a graphic designer that will be creating the design and graphics for your website, provide an idea of what you’re looking for and discuss your vision in detail. Research websites of other companies in your industry and pick out the ones you like the most. Discuss these options with your web designer and decide how you can make your website attractive and unique.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To avoid confusion, it’s also important to clearly outline what the web developer is expected to provide and in what timeframe. If everyone agrees on deliverables and delivery dates up front, you stand a better chance of seeing your website completed in a timely fashion.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If there’s a project manager, assistant or other point of contact that they’ll be connecting with for content or questions throughout the process, make sure they know who that person is and how to get in touch with them. When questions or content requests go unanswered, your website project can become stale and fall behind schedule.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A brief is a great way to get your website project started off on the right foot.</strong></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Clear communication and organization at the start of the project will ensure that you get the website you want completed in an efficient way.</p>\nWant to learn more about how we can improve your results? <a title=\"Contact Amazing Business Resources\" href=\"http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/contact-us\">Give us a call</a> today or request a personal consultation!\n\n&nbsp;','Graphic Design','','inherit','open','open','','231-autosave','','','2011-10-01 01:35:11','2011-09-30 17:35:11','',231,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/833',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(834,1,'2011-08-29 02:47:52','2011-08-28 18:47:52','','Graphic Design','','inherit','open','open','','231-revision-4','','','2011-08-29 02:47:52','2011-08-28 18:47:52','',231,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/834',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(835,1,'2011-09-01 14:51:00','2011-09-01 06:51:00','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"justify\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;\">When developing a website, it’s easy to focus on the layout, look and feel of the site.

Website copy is unique to other writing styles and a crucial element to the success of your website.</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"justify\"></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"justify\"><strong>In order to ensure that your website includes good copy, you might want to hire a professional. </strong>\r\n\r\nIf you’re a good writer, you have a basic understanding of spelling, sentence structure, and English grammar it’s possible to do it yourself.\r\n\r\nBut if you don’t want to take any chances, a professional web copy writer will provide quality, engaging copy for your website in a fraction of the time. Even if you’re a confident writer, sometimes it’s hard to see the forest for the trees. A professional writer can give you the outsider’s viewpoint that your website really needs.\r\n\r\n<strong>Whether you’ve hired a pro or not, it’s important that your website copy is catchy and keeps the reader interested. </strong>\r\n\r\nIt doesn’t need to read like it was written by a stand-up comic. But if it’s too dry, customers that need a little more persuasion will easily become bored and leave your site.\r\n\r\n<strong>It’s equally important that your copy is free of grammatical, typographical, and spelling errors. </strong>\r\n\r\nWebsite copy should be clean, easy to read, and flow well. If your copy is awkward and difficult to follow, visitors are free to conclude that your services will be delivered in the same way.\r\n\r\n<strong>On top of all of this, website copy should be brief and to the point. </strong>\r\n\r\nTraditional copy is made up of traditionally long paragraphs and long sentences. Website copy, on the other hand, needs to be very concise. It is necessary to say what you need to say in as few words as you possibly can.\r\n\r\n<strong>Your copy should also be structured in a way that is visually easy to read.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt should be written in short paragraphs. Listing your points in bullets and highlighting key words can communicate the necessary information quickly and effectively. In terms of the words on the page, less is definitely more.\r\n\r\n<strong>Website copy can also serve to drive visitors to your site. </strong>\r\n\r\nIncluding key words and phrases in your website copy can help your site rank higher in search engine listings when visitors search for those key words. Optimizing your site’s search engine ranking is a very sophisticated process. But your copy alone can improve your rank.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lastly, website copy should be persuasive.</strong>\r\n\r\nThere’s a lot to know about writing persuasive sales copy for your website and you don’t want to hit your viewer over the head with your agenda. But you can definitely benefit from copy that leans on the consumer’s inclination to purchase your product.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to website copy, it’s important to emphasize quality over quantity. Keep it short and to the point to ensure your customers get the information they need without having to work for it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"justify\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-weight: 800;\">\r\n</span></p>','Content Copywriting','','inherit','open','open','','227-revision-6','','','2011-09-01 15:00:49','2011-09-01 07:00:49','',227,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/836',0,'revision','',0,NULL),(837,1,'2011-09-01 14:56:05','2011-09-01 06:56:05','<h2 align=\"justify\">Briefing Your Designer and Choosing a Web Design</h2>\r\n<p align=\"justify\">When building a new website for your business, there are so many different elements to consider: graphics, photos, illustrations, text, navigation, conversation, target market, etc. The list literally goes on and on.

Not to mention, you have to decide on a unique aesthetic and design for your website that represents your company and sets it aside from others in the industry. It’s easy to get in over your head.\r\n\r\nBefore you proceed with the actual development of your website, it’s important to discuss all elements in detail with your web designer.\r\n\r\n<strong>This part of the process is known as a website brief. </strong>\r\n\r\nA well-structured brief will have a number of different elements. Mostly it will address your expectations and goals for your website and provide the developer with all the necessary information and tools he needs from you in order to create a successful site. The brief will also enable you to make decisions, keep the project on track, and redirect if necessary.\r\n\r\nWhen preparing a brief for your web developer, include information about your business, goals for the project, website content, target market, expectations, deadlines, and contact information. The web developer should have a thorough understanding of your business and industry and what you’re hoping this new website will do for your business. Also, thoroughly describe your clients and target demographic, what they expect from you and your company.\r\n\r\nAlso, in order to speed the project along, include all the information and material the developer needs from you to move forward with building the website. This can include any number of things from photos, illustrations, copy and product information, to audio files, logos, testimonials and other content.\r\n\r\n<strong>The brief is also a great area to address the all-important website design. </strong>\r\n\r\nIf your web developer is also a graphic designer that will be creating the design and graphics for your website, provide an idea of what you’re looking for and discuss your vision in detail. Research websites of other companies in your industry and pick out the ones you like the most. Discuss these options with your web designer and decide how you can make your website attractive and unique.\r\n\r\nTo avoid confusion, it’s also important to clearly outline what the web developer is expected to provide and in what timeframe. If everyone agrees on deliverables and delivery dates up front, you stand a better chance of seeing your website completed in a timely fashion.\r\n\r\nIf there’s a project manager, assistant or other point of contact that they’ll be connecting with for content or questions throughout the process, make sure they know who that person is and how to get in touch with them. When questions or content requests go unanswered, your website project can become stale and fall behind schedule.\r\n\r\n<strong>A brief is a great way to get your website project started off on the right foot.</strong>\r\n\r\nClear communication and organization at the start of the project will ensure that you get the website you want completed in an efficient way.</p>','Graphic Design','','inherit','open','open','','231-revision-6','','','2011-09-01 15:05:57','2011-09-01 07:05:57','',231,'http://newweb.amazingbusinessresources.com/archives/838',0,'revision','',0,NULL),
