“What can I do to make my website better for SEO purposes?“

That’s the question I often get from some clients. Although several factors can play an important role in the success of your website in search engines like Google and others, I’ll focus on one aspect that has been proven time and time again to be very effective.

I am referring to content. And when I say content, I am talking about fresh and unique content. Believe it or not, keeping your website updated regularly with fresh and unique content is very effective in attracting the search engines to visit your website regularly. One of the best ways to have post fresh content on your site regularly is to maintain a blog. Blog is much more than it used to be. Before, it was some type of personal online journal. Now, everyone is “blogging” about everything! It’s not only personal anymore, it has gone over to the business world. If you visit major sites on the web, you will notice that many of them maintain their own blogs. If big companies even use it, then this tells you how important having a blog is!

The truth is, search engines love blogs. They love blogs because it’s updated constantly. Compared to other types of sites, blogs are visited very frequently by search engine bots. In some sites I’ve worked on, the blogs have been picked up by the search engines literally by the next day! (disclaimer: this may not always be the case, but it worked more often than not). If not the next day, then at least by the end of the week — provided that the blog is updated daily with fresh content and the search engines are notified of it.

If you want to install a blog on your website, why don’t you contact me? I will install and configure the Wordpress blog script on your server, and you’ll have your own blog running in no time. Wordpress is one of the most popular blog platforms used worldwide, and it is updated regularly by developers to ensure stability and security for those that are using it. In fact, Wordpress has become much more than a blog software. It’s now being used as a Content Management Software (CMS) — telling you how important it has really become.

Do you need someone to install Wordpress on your hosting account? I’m just a click away!

Remember, when it comes to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), regular, fresh and unique content plays a very important role — no doubt about it!

By the way, do you want to follow me on Twitter? Here’s my Twitter page. I just signed up a few days ago, after hearing all the craze about it. My number of followers are growing… slowly, but surely. Hope you’ll be one of them!

Sounds familiar? Chances are, you’re someone who started everything with no money too, so you’re pretty skeptical when it comes to giving away your money in exchange for something that you could have done yourself. However, there is a lot more to hiring a designer than just finishing up a job that you don’t want to do.

When you hire a web designer or a programmer to do your job for you, you are doing more than just handing over the “dirty job” to someone else. In fact, by paying a little money, you can let the designer/programmer worry about the little annoyances that always evade the main picture and only come haunting when you’re halfway through the job. That way, you will be more focused and have more time to spend on your actual business strategy.

I remember a client who was almost about to give up after learning the kind of work that is required with having an online business. After having some challenges with his website, server, and other technical aspects, this internet newbie was about to throw in the towel! Good thing he found me later because this allowed him to concentrate on what he knew best (he owned a local business) and leave the headaches of the technical aspects of an online business for me to handle.

Remember that the designers/programmers you hire are professionals, so they are good at what they do. By outsourcing your web design/programming jobs to them, you won’t have to worry when problems surface because you can always get them to fix it for you. Again, they will be able to pin point the problem and fix it faster than you probably will be able to. Also, the work you pay for will turn out more professional than what you can achieve because the designers/programmers have been doing it longer than you have. After all, they do it for a living so they have to be good, right?

A past client spent an entire week trying to fix a problem with her Wordpress blog. After contacting me, the problem was resolved within a few hours. Imagine what she could have done instead with the time she had lost! If only she outsourced the work earlier!

I know that it is good to work on a project yourself. However, you have to consider the instances when outsourcing the work to someone else is beneficial in your situation.

So, if you are looking for a web designer or a programmer for your online projects, contact me. I am here to help!

Before you finally launch that product of yours, make sure you remember to consider a few things.

First, double-check your sales page. Check for spelling and grammar errors of your sales material. If you want to build the credibility of your business and product, then make sure your grammar and spelling are correct! You don’t want to make it look like a 5-year old put your site together. If you don’t have time or need the assistance of someone to proofread your material, you can outsource the work to proofreaders like me. Double-check your payment buttons to make sure they are functioning as they should. If possible, make a test purchase prior to launching your product. Check all your links to make sure they are properly connected. Double-check everything!!!

Next, think about your price. Is your product pricing too high or too low? Many make the mistake of overcharging or undercharging. How does your product compare to that of your competitors? Take a look around and see what the average price is. Take that into account when you’re trying to figure out your final price. Do you provide something better or some other option that your competitor might not offer? These are just some of the things you can consider when pricing your product.

If you have to make a choice, my opinion is that it is much better to undercharge because of the potential of drawing many customers in. That was the idea behind Walmart, and other similar stores. Because you are cheaper than your competitors, you get more customers — but it takes a longer time for you to make a profit in the beginning as compared to charging high in the first place. However, you can profit more in the long run. You have to make the decision yourself about what is more important to you. The problem with undercharging is that you will lose the profit you desire, especially if you want the money right away.

Overcharging is just really bad altogether, I think. It drives away potential customers. Everyone wants to save. Many people will do anything just to save a few bucks. I once read about this guy who drove to the next town to buy a product that was cheaper than the one offered in his local area. Of course, by the time you add up the gas expense of driving there, he would have been better off staying local. The point is, people want to save — and most likely won’t think twice about it!

Finally, is your server capable of your traffic? This is something very important that you don’t want to miss. So you’ve prepared a massive advertising campaign. You expect to receive a lot of traffic because you’ve hired the best marketers. Can your web server handle the load it will generate? Some forget to check the resources allotted to them by their web hosting provider. Forgetting this can be your biggest mistake! I’ve come across several online marketers already who have forgotten this very important aspect. In fact, just the other day, I was prepared to buy a new product a few hours after I received the notice. When I visited the site, it was suspended by the host because the traffic bandwidth it received was more than it was allowed to have. Imagine how many sales this guy had lost before noticing the problem! He also wasted money on marketing, because he still had to pay for the clicks to his site, even though his server was down. Don’t make the same mistake with your product launch.

Of course, there are more things to consider before launching your product. I just wanted to focus on the items above to save you the trouble. Before you get too excited about launching your product on the world wide web, make sure to remember a few things that will save you a lot of headache and loss of money!
