Search results

Can you elaborate on that? I can say from my experience that meta descriptions are at least important as a tool to get search engine users to click on your link. For instance, the meta description on one of my pages is "One home health agency doubled new patient referrals after 90 days. Learn...

So Google covers their butt by stating that images may be subject to copyright but what else would Google Images be used for? Lots of things. Product searches for instance. When I have clients all over the US and need to include pictures of houses in their design, I use Google images to see...

Photographs can be copyright protected even without bot blocking code, watermarks, or a visible copyright anywhere on the page. I know of a small practice in PA who got sued over their website, because the designer (not us) lifted a photo from someone else's website on the west coast. Open...

Couldn't disagree more. After having three separate instances of 1and1.com adding services I didn't order to my account and charging my credit card, to the tune of $200 to $300, I was curious if I was the only one. A little research shows they've done this to lots of people. And that was only...

Sorry, I don't know that answer well enough to give advice, but I was interested if you were switching away from Host Gator due to a dissatisfaction. I was planning to start using them in a major way very soon. This thread would be relevant...

I figure everyone is going to take issue with at least one policy of their hosting company. To get a fairly objective comparison of hosts, I think you have to go to a hosting review website and see which companies have the highest percentage of satisfaction. I like the set up of this website...

I liked the first one. It looked like a designer did it. All your clients are going to force you to make the same, boring, conservative, cookie-cutter stuff, so you might as well have fun with your own stuff. I thought it was creative and intelligent how the logo was in all lower case and...

Here's a few good ones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep Most images on Wikipedia are free to use, but with certain conditions. Simply read the license on each picture and follow the instructions.

That's not the same color on the live website as the one above is it? They look different. I was going to say that with the name Krymson, you should push a whole crimson theme for branding. I might describe the logo on the website as crimson, while the one above looks brown on my monitor...

It occurs to me that I should clarify my earlier statement. When I said you should target one to four keywords per page, I was thinking anything over 2 would be a search phrase, not three independent words. For instance. If you want to win the SERP for "brochures", that would be a hard fight...

Usually, you can make your site appear in Google search results and then click cached to see the last time Google spidered your site.

People are starting to say page rank doesn't matter. I'm not buying that just yet. The top results for Cape Coral Web Designs are PRs 4's, 3's, and 2's, compared to your PR 0. I think that probably makes a difference. Here's something you need to do right now. Update your text. The best I...

I'm not sure what Kate V is talking about. The 301 redirect is built for exactly what you are talking about. It tells the search engines that the site or page has permanently moved. Google transfers a lot of its ranking information to the new site. Done correctly, it is seamless to the end...

I read years ago (probably on Yahoo.com) that click through rate is a primary determinant in SERP (search engine results page) rankings. Still true? If so, what is a good click through rate to maintain a good SERP ranking?

Hi Rarefly, I was poking around your site, and I'm finding it hard to find a portfolio of your design for print (i.e. brochures and stationary) and of your prices for print design.

Finish Joomla says this and has a lot of references to support it: As a search engine specialist I spend a quite some time convincing people that the mythical PageRank isn't as important as it used to be. To make my own life easier (and perhaps yours as well) I've collected several articles on...

You should have one to four target keywords per page. It's not a per site thing. It's a per page thing. More importantly, if you don't have a huge internet marketing budget, you should consider targeting phrases instead of words. It's much more likely to win a particular collection of words...

Good plan Krymson, but wow those prices seem low.

Good stuff, everyone. Yes, giving firm, upfront prices for a bunch of changes a client emails over in relatively stream-of-consciousness writing style will always increase the price for the customer. It would take 15 to 30 minutes just to read all the instructions and work up a quote (while...

Website customers want to be able to shoot over simple requests that can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 4 hours. We ask that clients put a credit card on file, have a written agreement that we will work on request for a small fee per 15 minute unit, and charge their credit card for the time...
