Choosing The Right Keyphrases For Your Web Site

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

There are two main ways that people use Google, Yahoo and MSN. The first is for research purposes and the other is for buying purposes.
The keywords used by people researching are therefore
different to those used by people looking to buy. When choosing keywords for your website you need to look at what sort of visitor you are looking to attract.

A search engine user looking to buy a Paul Frank t-shirt is likely to use a term like Buy Paul Frank Clothes or Buy Paul Frank T-shirts as these terms should produce results from businesses that sell Paul Frank merchandise. If they were researching into the business or the designer then terms like About Paul Frank Industries or Paul Frank Designer would be used.

This is not the case for all keyphrases though. If someone already knows the product description or id number then they may use that to search for their desired product. Someone searching for a Vitalograph Emergency Aspirator might use the keyphrase (M1830) Vitalograph Aspirator as it includes the product number. This is likely to return results for pages with the specific product on so it is easy for the user to compare prices.

There are also some search terms that cover both research and buying visitors. Terms like these relate to both people researching and people looking to buy.For instance someone who was looking to research into local web design and search engine optimisation companies is likely to use terms like Web Design Salisbury or Web Design Wiltshire. These terms are also likely to be used by someone who is looking to use the services of a web design company or search engine optimisation team.

How i got my website created and properly marketed.

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Having worked in the retail business for some time I was trying to expand my profits by setting up a website to advertise my wares and market it to larger businesses that might use it. Coming from the Salisbury area my first consideration was okay ? Web Design Salisbury? how am I going to get the site that I want designed and promoted.

I looked up several articles on the web and discovered that I would need a site that was correctly laid out to make it simple for the person coming to my website to discover what they wanted. I also discovered that even when you get your website how you want it to appear you need to get it discovered in the search engines. Which meant that it didn?t matter how much work was done on the site design, if the people you want to see your site don?t see it.

After contacting a website just beyond Salisbury and they were able to not only design the site so that the company was reflected in its best light but made the website very easy to navigate around. The following months saw a big increase in sales with the Internet marketing team making sure the site was in front of the relevant people in the search engines and the work then kept coming in in it was brilliant.
