Does buying Adwords improve your rankings?

Google announced on it's blog yesterday that it would be integrating personal results with normal website results on it's search engine.

This has already occurred on the US search results but has yet to reach the results in Australia.

You are probably wondering what this means for the average business.

Website Design and SEO will need to be Social

Google introduced it's Google Plus a few month's ago to try to gain some ground from Facebook.

That was the shot across the bow.

Today they begin the war!

Google is now integrating it's Google Plus platform into the results. You may have never used Google PLUS but you soon will.

Firms trying to get top search results with not just pages but personal results will need to be across social media in order to gain top rankings.

As Google says on their website:

"We're transforming Google into a search engine that
understands not only content, but also people and
relationships. We began this transformation with
Social Search, and today we're taking another big
step in this direction by introducing three new features:

1. Personal Results, which enable you to find information just for
you, such as Google+ photos and posts–both your own and
those shared specifically with you, that only you will be able to
see on your results page;

2. Profiles in Search, both in autocomplete and results, which
enable you to immediately find people you're close to or might
be interested in following; and,

3. People and Pages, which help you find people profiles and
Google+ pages related to a specific topic or area of interest,
and enable you to follow them with just a few clicks. Because
behind most every query is a community.

Together, these features combine to create Search plus Your
World. Search is simply better with your world in it, and we're
just getting started."

As a Perth web designer, I always want to give my customers the best chance for traffic and rankings of their site.
I am often asked whether it matters if your website is hosted here or overseas such as the US. I explained to a client that I moved a website from a US hosting company to our Australian Dedicated server and without doing anything else the ranking for one keyword moved 2 pages on the search results.

Apart from that, if something happens to your website, do you want to be queuing up to talk to a provider that hosts one million sites in a foreign country on a chat line.

Thats what happens when you try to cut costs and host overseas. They don't care if your business is down or you are losing money.

The other important factor is the speed of the website load. If you host with an overseas company then you can expect that the time from your computer to the server and back will be about 300 ms as opposed to an Australian server with 60-80 ms. thats about 3 times quicker.

Google takes into account the bounce rate on a website. if your website is slow to load due to where it is hosted and your visitors leave (bounce) and that affects your ranking are you saving money.

We will only host in this country and we run a dedicated server with 3 separate drives to ensure your websites are safe.

Have a listen to what the Google Engineer Matt Cutts thinks about local based hosting.

So if you want piece of mind for your website then you need it to be handled properly. Call us on (08) 9350 9392 for more information.

Web Design is always changing because the environment is always changing. You may or may not know that many videos on the internet that are not with Youtube cannot be seen with an Iphone or an Ipad. Due to Apple not supporting the most popular format on the internet, namely flash this can be a problem if you are using videos.

We recently created a site for maysen and borowski which if you click on the left hand side where the video link is, you can view the video not only on your desktop but on your iphone. We cannot improve the speed of teh iphone but we can make it available to those who want to view the video on their phone.

If you want your website to be visible to the 60% of people now using their mobile phones to look for information, call Web Wizards, a Perth Website Designer you can rely on. If you need to know more about the websites and videos we create, then please call us on 9350 9392.

Website Design and Marketing Success Factors

Building a website is just the beginning of your marketing. Geting visitors to the website is a result of a few key factors which includes:-

A Well Structured Website Design

• The coding helps the search engine analyse the pages (metatags)  and index them in their search calculations.
• The page content relates to the keywords that you are trying to be found by
• The website is attractive and easy to navigate

An Attractive Web Design

• This should be well branded and matched to your colours and logo
• It should give the visitor a feeling of confidence in the business
• It should convert visitors into paying clients (conversion)
• It should allow for further communication with the client via phone, email or other mediums

A Co-Ordinated  Marketing Strategy

• A match of your offline and online marketing  with branding and company messages
• A Methodical Search Engine Strategy (SEO) which puts you on the front page of Google for phrases that your market are looking for to buy your product

Web Page Designers

They come in all shapes and sizes. The question is who will suit you, when designing your website?

The things that your website designer should be focused on is getting traffic to your website.

To successfully get traffic to your website you need to be aware of some of the most important aspects.

1 Choose a website designer that actually has offices and can give you support after the site has finished.

2 Ensure that you have a design that is appealing to the visitor.

3 Ensure the website is easy for the potential customer to navigate.

4 Ensure that the site is structured properly. That means that each page is individually metatagged and that the content on the page has the keywords in them that you want to be found for.

5 Ensure that your designer understands the SEO (search engine optimisation) implications of your design and can help you to get on the elusive front page of the organic results where 95% of the traffic comes from as opposed to the Google Ads which is only roughly 5% of the traffic.

6 Ensure that your web designer asks enough questions to understand your business.

If you feel overwhelmed and you need to talk to someone about your web page designer call Web Wizards on (08) 9350 9392

Web Design is a multi-faceted approach where design is not the only consideration. The purpose of a website can be argued many ways but I see that the purpose of a website is to attract visitors, engage vistors, convert visitors to Prospects and then to ultimately convert them to customers.

Google is changing the way search results are being fed and many won’t be very happy about it. Google has been watching thousands of companies get rich from search results whilst all the while only receiving income from paid advertisers in their Adwords program. 95% visitors DON"T click on ads. They look at the search results on the left hand side of the page. If you are relying on Adwords alone then you are turning your back on 95% of the possible traffic. This is why we specialise in SEO for clients as that is where the money is.

Anyway Google has already got rid of the Map Mess at the top of the page. It will be replaced with a normal listing with a link to a map. That link will display the first photo that you load into your local Google map. For most companies that means a logo image. The listings with these colourful logos will definitely get more clicks. They also will send vistors to your Google map page and not your website. Those who have ugly looking Google maps will not get much more business.

We are creating some branded graphics for clients to make sure that their local map is appealing.

Here is a little promo about Google mobile search and the web design world that awaits.
