Chose Your Keywords and Keyphrases Carefully

The importance of chosing the right keywords and keyphrases cannot be stressed enough! The impact on your website and business is enourmous. Keywords and keyphrases are the main factors in where your website or blog ranks when it comes to placement on a search engine. This can mean the difference between success and failure. My estimate is that 80% of the Internet businesses fail due to not using the right keywords and keyphrases to drive traffic to their website. Without traffic there will be no sales. Let me give you some examples of the impact keywords and keyphrases have.

Note:
A  keyword niche is a group of keywords containing one seed keyword phrase. For example, the chocolate donut keyword niche includes keywords containing chocolate donut – like chocolate glazed donuts and chocolate filled donut.

Suppose you have two women who are about to get married. We will call them Sarah and Barbera. First of all they would both fit in to the category or keywordniche ” wedding dress”. Both are shopping on-line for wedding dresses. Sarah types in the keyphrase ” wedding dress types” while Barbera types in ” wedding dress prices”.  If you were operating a business that sells wedding supplies and  this included wedding dresses and advertised that you were selling wedding supplies, neither Sarah nor Barbera would find you in their search. Although your niche is selling wedding supplies if you are going to attract buyers for your dresses you will have to advertise by being more specific as to what you are selling. Now let’s get back to the keyphrases that Sarah and Barbera entered in their search.

Both ladies would come up with completely different results in their search. If you are online right now do a search in any search engine using the keyphrases that the ladies used and you will see for yourself that you will get two different results. Do you see the importance of chosing your keywords carefully?

You have to analyze your business carefully and think of all the keywords that relate to your company or product. You also need to consider who will be needing your product.The more specific your keywords are, the better the chance that people who find your site through search engines will actually benefit from its content.

There are some great tools available to help you find the best keywords and phrases related to your business. These tools can help you narrow down the most popular words and phrases searched on the Internet. A word of caution here! Do not spam! Be careful choosing keywords. If all your keywords don’t relate to your site’s content you risk being penalized for spam. Don’t include “MP3″ and “Pokemon” in your keyword list if you sell puppy food. Sure, it will drive up traffic temporarily, but it can also get your site rejected from important search engines.

Include variations of keywords. Include misspelled words, capitalized and plural keywords. Avoid using “and, the and common words like Internet” These are called stop words. Using more specific words will increase your chances of being ranked higher so people will find your site.

In addition to looking up search engines for what keywords you think are important also take the time to ask past customers how they found you, why they chose you, and what issues were important to them in chosing you. You can also get keyword ideas by doing things like checking your web analytics or server logs, looking at page contents of competing websites, looking through topical forums and community sites to see what issues people frequently discuss.

This article only touches briefly on the importance of keywords and phrases and how they affect your ability to attract visitors to your site. I can go on about this topic for hours and we would still have lots to cover. Bottom line is you must learn as much as you can by doing research on keywords and optimizing your website for the best returns. If you are fortunate enough to have the money to hire a professional or take a course in SEO, this would greatly enhance the viability of your website to make money on-line.

These are some of the tools and sites available to help you with chosing words and phrases for your website and/or blog. There are many more however I chose to ad these three to my article as I know these the best and use them myself. I hope you find them useful.

Canada’s Top 5 Telecom Companies Social Media Report

Canada’s Top 5 Telecom Companies Social Media Report

But first, let’s define our terms and provide some background.  For those non technical readers, Twitter and Facebook are Internet-based applications that have set the stage for the stampede of companies seeking marketing success with this new fangled advertising medium called social media marketing.

How big is use of social media as an advertising medium? Analysts predict that by 2013 the US alone will spend billion on this juggernaut-advertising vehicle. Out of this social media fury emerge the SEO consultants, architects of disappointment for corporate social media campaigns.  They are increasingly guiding their victim clients to adopt Facebook and Twitter, but not helping them implement these applications properly.

Classic victims of the SEO snake oil consultants appear to be Canada’s five mobile service giants Bell Canada, Rogers, Virgin Mobility, Telus and Fido. Or the Corporate look the other way issue. Others are doing this Social Media Marketing, so we need it. “HIRE someone to deal with this“.

Our techno crew had a field day investigating and analyzing the Canadian Telecom pratfalls in adapting Facebook and Twitter for their social media outreach.   Our long-suffering word nerd has tried to put this into English for the non-tech crowd.  The following is a synopsis of our research on the big five, mixing English with accessible tech talk.  Unlike SEO consultants, we want you to understand what we are saying.

The findings we share here are more than surprising to us.  It’s important to appreciate that these intertwined telcos are the ones providing networks and Internet connections that platform social media applications in Canada. You would think they would be experts in wielding the social media sword.  Shockingly, that is far from the case.

One of the basic rules of good Social Media practice is to make sure you have icons on your web site that let readers jump from your site to Facebook and Twitter and other social media applications.

Virgin got a passing grade because its site had Twitter, Facebook and YouTube icons on each page.  At least Virgin understands that such effort shows current and potential customers that this company is in the social media game.  The rest of the telcos did not have a single social media icon on their sites, leaving consumers to find their own path to Facebook and Twitter.  A sucker punch if I ever saw one.  Left to find their own way, to these applications what do consumers find?  Almost nothing but complaints about the telecom companies, making them easy targets for the torrent of rabid protests about their unsatisfactory service and poor business practices.   My imagination is limited in helping me understanding this reverse marketing technique.

Let’s look now at how these telcos handled their Twitter accounts.   Rogers and Bell have shut down their Twitter accounts because consumers were using this application to talk almost exclusively about how bad these companies are.  Obviously, when they had Twitter accounts they have no icon button on their web sites, but let’s not flog a dead horse.   Bell never really used the Twitter account, garnering only 341 followers and a meager 25 updates.   Rogers closed one of its Twitter accounts, Rogers Buzz, because the company is basically rethinking its overall social media plan.  A bad social media plan, coupled with a recent internal horseplay disaster, has resulted in mass firings of their tech team.  Have a look at the number of job postings Rogers have online for social media positions.  The last two have Twitter accounts, but again, no icons on their web sites directing readers to this application.  And, they continue to use their Twitter accounts to convey purely promotional tweets, numbing their intended audiences with their repetitive messages.

Next, we looked at Facebook accounts.  Virgin, Telus and Fido have okay Facebook accounts. These three are promoting awareness of social issues, not just pummeling their audience with messages about their products and services. Bell and Rogers’ Facebook use is a PR disaster. Exponentially more wall posts and sites are loud vehicles for consumer anger about Bell and Rogers service and false promises.  No one is touting the virtues of these two giants.

Aside from faulty Facebook and Twitter application, we found other perplexing lapses in basic Social Media good practice. “Search Engine Optimization” In any social media exercise, the game is getting the search engines to love your content and send it to first-page status.   For this to happen, the company web site must be registered with search engines.  Again, this is Social Marketing 101.  We found only Bell Canada had done the technical job correctly. So why is this a big deal? According to Internet World Stats, 84 percent of Canadians use the Internet (the highest Internet usage per capita in the world). These web users perform more than 85 million searches a day.  If your web site is not registered with the search engines, these consumer searchers will not easily find your site.

Here’s another blunder.  The entire idea of social media is to share content about your interests and those of others. All of these companies failed to do this on their web sites. Not one of these sites included RSS buttons on their fancy web sites.  Including a RSS button is Social Media 101. Even my grandmother has one on her blog. Also, none of them had share buttons, thus starving and isolating the site from users, who, in a knee-jerk fashion, are happy to pass your information and content on to the social media stratosphere.  Instead of helping to build more followers for these companies’ content, users find a dead end on these sites.

The other basics you would implement as part of a social media strategy include an External blog.  None had one.

They didn’t use news distribution sites.  Digg, Mixx, Reddit, Newsvine are all free but were not resourced by the big five.  Social media book marking advantages also went unheeded by the telcos. Bell had a few bookmarks in Yahoo about 1,300 links of more bad news about Bell Customers.

The truly unbelievable aspect of all this is they meant to get in the social marketing game.  Much of the social marketing paraphernalia are there.  It’s obvious they have spent millions on research reports, studies, consultants and staff, who have, for the most part, failed.

For those readers interested in delving deeper into this quagmire of miscues and bad social media management, I invite you to have a look at the statistics and analysis we have provided to back up our observations and which are available in this article.

In upcoming articles we will take our lens to the social media gaffes of newspapers, government, banks, retailers, restaurants, advertising agencies and SEO consultants.

7 Accessibility Tips to Use in Website Design

admin    Web Design     Accessibility, design, Tips, website

7 Accessibility Tips to Use in Website Design

Accessibility can be a fairly complicated subject in website design. Ideally you’ll use web standards to enhance your website design as much as possible. But there are some things that you can do to improve the accessibility of any website. Good website design will definitely be an extra boost to let you attain a higher level of accessibility in your website. Here are some tips that could help you while creating your website design.

Tip 1

You should be able to include meaningful ALT text in your website design. ALT text is read aloud to blind users by their screen reader. Without the ALT text in your website design, your website might be virtually unusable for your blind visitors. So, be sure to include it to all your images in your website design.

Tip2

Screen readers do not know how to pronounce misspelled words. So, be sure to thoroughly check your content prior to launching your website. Know that blind people will not be able to see your overall website design, but they will experience it. If there are mistakes, this will leave a bad impression of your website design in your users’ minds. So, ensure that few or no mistakes are caused as these will get your visitors utterly confused.

Tip3

Avoid abbreviations as much as possible. Without help, screen readers cannot tell an abbreviation isn’t a word, so they will try to spell it. If such mistakes occur in your website design, then you may be certain that your visitors will get confused. For instance, you might read the letter ‘nr’ as ‘near’ but a screen reader may guess at ‘ner’. Therefore, it’s better to use good website design practices to make life easier for your users.

Tip4

Make use of website design solutions to demonstrate high contrast colours, especially for text. Dark text on a light or white background is best for most people as it increases readability. Through the use of good website design, you may easily be able to achieve this.

Tip5

Make your text resizable. Partially sighted and other people with poor eyesight need to be able to resize the text. In this case, you need to use website design solutions to provide better readability for such people. Internet Explorer does not let you resize text that has been set using pixels. Therefore, you may use points (pt) or ems (em) for text sizes.

Tip 6

Use a website design solution such as CSS to set and adjust colours. Thus, due to such website design, if your visitors find your default stylesheet hard to use, they can turn it off or use their own stylesheet. However, bear in mind that only the appropriate usage of CSS in your website design will let your users do this.

Tip 7

Ensure that your links make sense out of context. Blind people often skip through the links on a page. ‘Click here’ does not mean anything. Instead, saying ‘Click here for more information about website design’ would be a good practice.
