Research your SEO

As hopefully the little that you have already read on my blog regarding getting your web sites high up on the rankings that the key to success is doing the research, making sure you fully understand the subject matter

This is where the vast majority of amateur web masters fall down it is not simply a matter of building a site with some text and a few photos; if you want your site to be successful you need to do a whole lot more

Knowing your subject and all the important keywords and phrases is very important more than just for the Meta tags which are no longer as important as many years ago

More Meta Keywords Tips

Meta Keywords

Make sure that you also have a list of good meta keywords for the content tag again use the same rules make sure the words you use are relevant to the actual page i.e. they are mentioned on the text and if possible use ones also used in the description and in the H1 and title tags

Dont under any circumstances spam these keywords but listing them more than once this can in fact damage you search engine listing, use the plurals for the words as well as the singular ones

Keep it simple and dont try to cheat

Simple Effective Website Design

Cheap web site design doesn’t have to mean a poor quality web site to my mind any effective website should be simple , full of relevant content, easy to navigate and visually attractive to the surfer

Simple effective web site design can be seen as cheap web site design in our view here at affordable webdesign, after all as a web site designer its important to build and design a site that gets your message across

Simple web site design greatly helps in achieving higher search engine rankings and after all what’s the point in having a website if no one can find it!! sure you should include you web address in all you literature, advertisements etc

But the internet is the biggest audience that you could ever reach so why not do every thing you can to help surfers (potential visitors) to find you

Cheap Web site Design Tips

Another important issues with flash movie entry pages is for surfers on slow internet connections they can takes ages to load deterring potential customers , currently the feeling within the web design industry is that such splash pages are to be avoided as they are counterproductive

Another way to help achieve cheap web site design is to use a simple web site navigation system

Again there are many visually attractive menu systems that can be created with java and more importantly flash , its a well known fact that non of the search engine spiders can travel through the links on your website if all your navigation is created in a flash menu

Where can I find cheap web site design?

This is a question I here a lot , then the other question that also pops up is well if it cheap it must not very good

Well the truth is that keeping your web site design clean, simple, and using an easy to navigate menu system will make your web site design cheap to design and build

How you may well ask? Its common sense really will give you an example

Often client will ask their web designer for a highly visual animated flash intro page , your web designer will obviously oblige but if he is well versed in the art of Search Engine Optimization he will point out that this page will do nothing to help you search engine rankings.

In fact it will more than likely reduce your rankings but more importantly complicated animated flash movies, logos or similar will take many hours to create pushing up the design costs of your website

Now I am not saying that a cheap website design should not look visually pleasing, obviously any website has to be pleasing on the eye but in the end it is the content and the ease at which relevant content can be found by your web site visitors that matters

Keywords and common misspelled words

Today most of us rely heavily on the F7 key far more than we really should do in my parents generation before home computers were around it seems that they were much better at spelling and grammar probably because they practised it in the hand written style and were taught it at school

Most people are not always taking a lot of notice when they are searching on the internet especially if they search like me with a number of tabs or pages open searching concurrently on the big 3 search engines

This leads to carelessness and the occasional misspelled keyword search, you can utilise this in your web page design to help you score higher on a misspelled word, I would build into the meta keywords one or two misspelled keywords

You could even misspell some words on the content of you site if there are so close that surfers would not notice but they best way would be too use some of these misspelled words in the ALT tags on some of your images

Misspelled keyword selection needs a lot of thought and you need to do your homework by misspelling them in the big 3 search engines to see there effectiveness but they can bring substantial rewards
