TO CREATE A SEARCH ENGINE FIRNDLY AND A SUCCESSFUL WEBSITE

STEP 1: RESEARCH ON THE KEYWORD IN YOUR MARKET

Here I assume that you have services/product to publish in your website. You do need to do some research about what is your targeted market and the keyword you should use to target your visitors. You need to do some research and study your competition Website to see how they implement. You can either modify their idea or make a better Website over your competition. You can even see what the keyword use in your competition website is.

Assume that you’re your site is selling a ‘toys’. You need to go to Yahoo!, Google, MSN to search for the keyword ‘toys’. Investigate their site because they are your competitors. Sometimes you can use a phrase in the keyword research, for example. ‘my toys’ or ‘toys shop’, etc. Do do this, you would need a tools known as ‘Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI)’.

Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI) are use to determine the value of a keywords in your market. KEI compares the number of searches for a keyword with the number of search results to pinpoint which keywords are most effective for your campaign.

Suppose the number of searches for a keyword is 486 per month and Google displays 214,234 results for that keyword. Then the ratio between the popularity and competitiveness for that keyword is 486 divided by 214,234. In this case, the KEI 0.002.

The higher the KEI, the more popular your keywords are, and the less competition they have. That means that you might have a better chance of getting to the top.

The suggestion tools for KEI are:

• KeywordDiscovery - http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/
• WordTracker - http://www.wordtracker.com/
• Google Adwirds Keyword Tool - http://adwords.google.com/select/Login

STEP 2: DOMAIN FINDING

After the keyword research, you should already have a list of your targeted keyword or phrases. The next thing is to pick a good domain name for your website url. Although, some search engine claim that they never listed a website in the search page based on the domain name. That is no harm if you are going to put your products name or services name in your domain name. Moreover, to put the keyword in domain name could help your visitor remember your site easily.

There are several extensions of a domain such as .com, .org, .edu, .etc. If you are target in the world wide, we suggest you to register in the .com domain name. If you are not sure this is a good domain name for your market. You can make a call to our domain expert do help you get a good domain.

STEP 3: WEBSITE DESIGN

For example, a information viewing website only need a small storage spaces and low bandwidth. While e-commerce website needs a large storage space to store the items image/information and a high bandwidth usage web hosting.

Beside, some website are provides the servicing or sending newsletter daily to their subscriber. They might need a hosting that support the email sending or email auto-responder features.

There are some web hosting companies there they provides the hosting packages. For example, they might include the Website design in their hosting packages or a email server in their hosting packages.

Each page should target between two and four keywords directly related to the contents. If you feel the need for more keywords then consider splitting your content into separate pages. The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) should contain keywords, separated by hyphens without being too long, around 128 characters is probably a sensible upper limit for the entire URL. The Ttle tag should contain the keywords because the Title taq would be the vital source for search engine to understand your page. Example of a Title tag:

High Street Shopping Versus Internet Shopping

When you think of shopping, do you associate high street shopping or internet shopping as your preferred medium? There are of course, advantages and disadvantages to both but which one is better overall? This may be dependent on your personal preference or which is the most convenient for purchasing goods at a given time. This can also be determined by availability. Some goods may only be obtainable either online or from a physical shop.

Twenty four hour convenience

In today’s hectic twenty-four hour society when everything is driven by convenience and time the internet can be an invaluable source when used properly. When many people seem to have a distinct lack of time, the internet is often used for the purchase of goods. It can also provide a valuable first port of call if a consumer if looking for information but looking to actually buy a product in-store or at a physical place instead of online. A good example of this is buying a car. Often information is searched for regarding potential purchases online but then the actual point of sale comes from a dealership. This is also true of buying property. Information can often be gleaned from an estate agency or property website beforehand but the actual purchase is made on the high street. The internet can also be good if you are time restricted. If you know exactly what you are looking for, need something quickly but do not have the time to go to the high street during your normal working week, you can order something online and it can arrive the next day.

The internet can save time

It can definitely be beneficial to do some of your shopping online. For example, you can save at least an hour per week if you select your grocery shopping online and have it delivered to your property. The only downside to this is the fee incurred for the delivery every week. Purchasing items such as books and CDs online can also save time. In many cases items such as these can also be cheaper to purchase online than on the high street. The internet can also be a fantastic resource for the research and the purchase of non-everyday products such as adult sex toys, birthday or Christmas presents and jewellery. Online banking can also be a far more convenient way of transferring money from one account to another then going into a high street bank or building society.

The advantage of the high street

If you have the time to have a good browse, the high street can be a better option. If you buy clothing from the high street, trying the items on in a changing room prior to purchasing ensures that the garments are the correct fit. If you are purchasing clothing online, unless you have the exact same item in your possession, you cannot guarantee that it will fit. If you buy the item online from a reputable online retailer and it does not fit you can of course send it back and in most cases exchange or refund it. If however you want to surprise a loved one with some sexy lingerie, as long as you know what size they take, then either option should work just as well. Whatever you want or need to purchase as a consumer, the high street offers the advantage of allowing you to view the actual product whether it be a book, a CD, shoes or clothing etc. The high street is also highly convenient if you want to quickly buy a sandwich and/or a drink from a cafe or a newsagent and take it away with you. It also acts as a browsing ground. For example, you may wish to purchase a new electrical item such as a television and have seen it at a cheaper price online but want to see it in the flesh beforehand. As mentioned earlier, the same can also be said for the internet.

Overall there are advantages and disadvantages to buying goods online or from the high street. If you are time restricted for whatever reason, the internet can be more convenient. However, if you have time to browse and want to see the goods before you buy them, the high street can have the upper hand. Essentially it is dependent on personal preference as to what works the best for the individual.

We Get What We Want Online

We can’t deny that people like shopping. People go to work to earn money they could spend to buy the things they need. Sometimes, aside as being a necessity, shopping becomes a hobby. Shopping gives us satisfaction since we could buy not only the things that we need but also those that we want.

Commonly, we go to malls and stores when we want to shop. We go there because we know that we could find what we want to buy there. Most of us want to shop with a company than to shop alone so that at the same time we could spend time with them.

However, the age of technology has brought us another advance. For the shoppers, there are already new ways to buy things desired. Shopping online has already made its way in the business industry.

By the use of our computer and internet connection at home, we can already buy anything that we want. There are already online shops that sell items and products. It is just like buying in a store, the only difference is that the retailer is in the internet.

How does shopping online work? Consumers or those who want to buy a service or a product can just open their internet and search for a shop online. It is not hard to look for online shops since there are already numerous of this kind of sites online. Alternative vendors are searched through the use of shopping search engine. When a consumer has found what she wants to buy, he/she may sign up in the website. This is necessary so that information will only be asked once, and no more when you come back in another time. In online shops, products can be ordered through email while others just order through clicking on the products. The consumer then will receive confirmation through email once the transaction has been completed.

The most common way of payment is through credit card. Others like billing to mobile phone, check, debit card, gift card, cash on delivery, etc. instructions for the payments will also be given by the online shop.

After ordering, how then can we receive the items that we purchased? If the items you bought are digital media products like software, music, movies, images, eBook, then you will receive it through downloads. Other goods reach the shoppers through shipping the products to the costumer’s designated address.

Unlike other malls, online stores are usually open 24 hours a day. Consumers must not worry because most of the online shops include labels for return shipping in case there are instances that the consumer wants to change the received product. Consumers must also be careful in choosing trusted online shops to avoid scams and fraud. One way of knowing the website is through the blogs, reviews, and comments of the online shoppers.

Internet has already been making a great impact in our lives. It is not only for education and entertainment purposes anymore, but also for business and marketing. Since internet connection is almost available to all households, communication is not scarce. It is just amazing to think that technology has affected even the aspect of shopping. You just stay in your house, open your computer, click, and viola, any moments soon, you get what you want.
