			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-622" title="Heaven Forbid" src="http://www.strikingweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/heavin.jpg" alt="" width="209" height="64" />About 6 months ago, David Fraser approached Striking Web for help with his website <a href="http://www.heavenforbid.org/">www.heavenforbid.org</a> .   He was searching for a web design and development company that could help with <strong>website maintenance</strong> and further developing of his existing site.  As I reviewed and learned about his website it became pretty evident that David had a vision for helping to provide instant access to vital information during emergencies. What I liked about his website is that you can securely store all your vital information in one place in an organized manner, making it easy to find in an emergency or if you simply forgot something.  Because of his cause I’ve chosen Heavenforbid.org as the spot light website for this quarter.</p>
<p>A personal quote from David Fraser:<span id="more-621"></span></p>
<p>“Years ago, there was a television show which started each episode by showing an overview of downtown Manhattan. As the camera panned the city, the narrator began speaking . . . “<em>This is the Naked City, where there are millions of stories. Tonight, you will hear about just one” . . .</em> If you have not guessed, this was a police mystery show, a real “<em>Who done it</em>,” solved within 30 minutes, including commercials and scenes from next week’s episode.</p>
<p>In real life, there are truly millions of stories. People, from all walks of life, have found their choices have consequences and repercussions. Whether the results are favorable or not, is not part of the equation, the only constant is the fact we have choices to decide how to live our lives, how to protect our families, and how to safeguard what is most precious in our lives.”</p>
<p><strong>HeavenForbid.org provides <span style="text-decoration: underline;">instant access</span> to vital stored information during emergencies such as: </strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Missing Children with &#8220;Look For My Child&#8221;</li>
<li>Natural Disasters: Fires, Floods, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, and Tornadoes</li>
<li>Medical Emergencies</li>
<li>Personal and Family Matters</li>
<li>Lost or Stolen Credit Cards</li>
<li>Lost Pets and Veterinarian Records</li>
<li>Home Inventory / Possessions</li>
<li>Archive Important Documents / Papers</li>
<li><em>Featuring:</em> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Unlimited</span> Secured Storage of Business, Legal Documents, Photographs, Videos, Podcasts, Address Book, and E-Mail Blasts</li>
</ol>
<p>One of the things I enjoy about my business is learning about the businesses whose websites we build and or <strong>do website maintenance</strong> for. David has really made me think about the unthinkable and it has helped me to be better prepared.   As a matter of fact I am now a member of Heavenforbid.org!</p>
<p>Congratulations on a great cause David!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.linksmanager.com/cgi-bin/welcome.cgi?strikingweb" target="_blank">Link building</a></strong> is a way to build backlinks to your website.</h2>
<p>Building backlinks is one of the major pieces to the SEO puzzle that will help <strong>drive traffic to your website</strong> and also help your website rank much higher on the search engines.</p>
<h1>But why is it important to build backlinks to your website?</h1>
<h2>Think of a backlink to your website as a <strong><span style="color: #008000;">vote</span></strong>.</h2>
<p>The more websites that link to you the more votes your website gets.   Google’s algorithm takes into account how many links are coming into a website and a website with many incoming links is viewed as a valuable resource.<span id="more-596"></span></p>
<h3>So what can we do to build backlinks to our own websites?  Here are THREE things you can do to start building some back links to your site.</h3>
<ol>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://e5fdb6nkv1w-8z71xr7cvz8s8q.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">Submit one article a month to an article submission website</a>.  A good Article Submission website will let you include a link back to your website in the Article.  If your article goes viral you will generate a ton of <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://42b752xbv7wubt2ip2nc5wy668.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">website traffi</a></strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://42b752xbv7wubt2ip2nc5wy668.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">c</a>.</li>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.strikingweb.com/links/links.html">Requests links</a> from other websites that compliment your business.  Ask them to place a link back to your site in exchange for you placing a link on your website back to their site.</li>
<li>Spend some time on blogs that interest you and when you leave comments be sure to always include your website address.</li>
</ol>
<p>Building backlinks to a website is very time consuming and a game of patience.</p>
<p><strong>Here are some tools I would recommend that will help you with your backlinks building campaign:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://e8544gyn63xtlw4814hqyizka8.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-597" title="product200" src="http://www.strikingweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/product200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="214" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://e8544gyn63xtlw4814hqyizka8.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">WordPress Indexing Tool</span></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>Just when you thought you’d turned into a big fat cat who is sitting pretty you wonder why your empire isn’t taking off in quite the same way as you’d hoped.</p>
<p>If you are scratching your head wondering why then you might be interested to know that Google doesn’t index every link it finds. Here is how we can change this,</p>
<p>in a big way, all honest, ethical and pure magic!</p>

<p>Like I said building backlinks to a website is very time consuming and a game of patience. So don’t get discouraged if you are not seeing results from your efforts. It takes time and effort!</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today’s post I want to talk about submitting articles to increase web  traffic to your website.  Not only will you generate traffic to your website you will also, by default, create the following positive results:</p>
<ol>

<p><strong>Creating an article</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Be sure to pick a topic for your article that will spark interest and will create value.</li>
<li>Do your homework and find 3 keyword phrases that are relevant to your article and are good search terms.</li>
<li>Once you have 3 good keyword phrases be sure to do the following
<ol>
<li>Use the keywords in the title of your Article</li>
<li>Add the keywords to the body of your article and to the end of the article</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>SEO Prep Work before submitting the article</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Be sure to post your new article to your website first before submitting it to the Article Directories.   This will show that you had the content first on your website.  This is important for content originality in the Google Algorithm.</li>
<li>Ping your article on Google by doing a search for your new article post</li>
<li>Be sure to include the keyword phrases you used in your article in the MetaTags of your webpage.  You can have your webmaster do this for you if you are not sure how to do this.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Submitting your Article</strong></p>
<p>There are many services you can use to submit your article online. <strong>Below is one I would highly recommend:</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently had a conversation with a client about what it evolves to<strong> increase web traffic</strong> to a website.  I was surprised that my client was more concerned about <strong>building traffic</strong> but had not  thought about  what to do with the traffic that would be generated.</p>
<p>Essentially I explained to my client that it is important to have the following items in place to help build traffic:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Keyword research</strong> needs to be done on keywords that will be used on the website. The research is important because we need to find out if indeed people are using the keywords that we want to place on the site. It would make no sense to spend a lot of time and money setting up a page with keywords that no one is really searching for.<span id="more-467"></span></li>
<li><strong>Fresh Content</strong> – It is very important to have fresh content on a website so that the search engines continue to index the new content.  In the web world Content is King and Links are Queen! Having fresh content helps with the SEO of the page and with the ranking.</li>
<li><strong>Link Building </strong>– it is important to build incoming links to a website.  The more incoming links you have the more the search engines will like your website and rank it higher. Why? Because a website with a lot of incoming links is viewed by Google as a resourceful website.</li>
<li><strong>High Ranking</strong> – why is it important to rank high on a search?  The higher you rank the better the chances are that your website will display on page one or two of a Google search.  Websites that display within the first 10 searches of the Google page get about 75% of the clicks.  Therefore the higher you rank the more traffic you will get.</li>
<li><strong>Blog</strong> – a blog on a website is great because posting an article to your blog generates new content on your website. This will help the ranking of the website.</li>
<li>Create one Press Release a month with keywords that are relevant to the service the website provides.  Press Releases are a great way to generate traffic to a website and incoming links.</li>
</ol>
<p>Ok, so I just shared 6 things you can do to help optimize and <strong>create traffic for your website</strong>.  But what is the purpose of generating traffic if you’re website is not getting phone calls?</p>
<p>The most important goal you must determine for your website is what it is you want website visitors to do when they come to your website?  Do you want them to sign up for a free quote? Or maybe call your 800 number, or sign up for your blog?</p>
<p>My point here is that generating traffic to a website can be done in time with the right strategies, however you want to be able to setup your website so that when new visitors come to it they buy, contact, or email you.</p>
<p>In summary having a strategy for how your website will handle the traffic that you generate is VERY IMPORTANT otherwise you are just wasting your time and money to <strong>build traffic</strong>.</p>
<p>Remember! If you don’t have a website, you don’t exist!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-428" title="local search optimization" src="http://www.strikingweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/local-search.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="129" />There are over 100 million searches performed a day and about 20% of these searches are new to the search engines. This is due to the fact that website visitors are learning and getting smarter about how they search for what they want online. The result is that people are searching for local businesses more and more.</p>
<p>Here are two examples that will help convey the importance of optimizing your website with local search keywords.<span id="more-426"></span></p>
<p><strong>Scenario:</strong><br />
John lives in San Jose, CA and is looking online for a pizza restaurant that offers New Your Style pizzas.</p>
<p><strong>John’s first Search:</strong><br />
John goes to Google and does a search for “New York Pizza”, the results are a list of Pizzeria’s in the state of New York .  Well, John is in San Jose CA so this search won’t help him find a local pizza restaurant.</p>
<p><strong>John’s second Search:</strong><br />
John realizes that he did not include the local city that he lives in when he did his search, so he goes back to Google and does another search but this time includes the city he lives in: “New York Pizza San Jose”.<br />
This time John gets a list of local San Jose Pizza restaurants that offer New York Style pizzas. And this is exactly what he is looking for!</p>
<p>In Johns second search every website that came up on page one of Google had the Keywords “New York Pizza” and “San Jose” incorporated into the content of their websites.</p>
<p>In summary, it’s important to have Local Targeted content on your website so that local customers can find your website when they search for your services!</p>

It’s a way of giving something away for free in exchange for a person’s name and email.  Examples of UVP’s are Contests, free white papers, free calculators, free newsletters, and free brochures.</p>
<p>A UVP is a great way to capture website visitor names and emails to build a database of website visitors. This database will become your most powerful marketing tool. With these emails you can send your prospects and clients’ newsletters, offers, surveys, and much more. The result will be a two way communication with your prospects and clients, which can later translate to more business.<span id="more-344"></span></p>
<p>Some items to think about:</p>
<p>How are you capturing visitor names and emails?</p>
<p>What Unique Value Proposition can you use on your website to engage your prospects and clients?</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any questions and I will be more than happy to give you some ideas and suggestions.</p>

<p>So let me get to the point:<span id="more-254"></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Think about what your website represents to the website visitors that are looking for your services. For example if your website offers vacation rentals make sure that your website has the correct look and feel so that when you get a visitor to your site they get a good first impression. – Really understand your audience!</li>
<li>Make sure you have good content and good keywords setup on your website. Do spend some time making sure your website is optimized for the search engines.</li>
<li>Find out how your competition ranks so that you know where you stand with keywords you want to pursue.</li>
<li>Get other websites to link back to your website one way. The more good relevant links that you have coming to your website the better you will rank. This can take 2 to 3 months to create but well worth your investment.</li>
</ol>
<p>Come back for the next blog posting that will have more information and tips on how to rank better on the search engines.<br />

<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<ol style="padding-left: 30px;">
<li>Before you even start to work with a web design company have a list of the types of websites you like.  This will be important information for the web designers and the project managers working on your project.</li>
<li>Think about what function your website will serve for your business.  For example will your website be a place for your visitors to come and view your catalog? Or will your website be a source of information about your services and products? Or will your website be an online store?</li>
<li>If you don’t already have a logo start to think about colors for your logo.  It always helps if you have a hand drawing of an idea for a logo.  We can turn hand drawings into beautiful logos.</li>
<li>Make a list of how many pages you will need for your website.  For example the common pages on a website are the Home page, About Us page, Services Page, Blog page, and Contact Us page.  Having an idea of how many pages you will need for your website will also give your Website design company an idea of what your project will cost.</li>
<li>Think about a budget, how much you are willing to invest in your website.  Remember that this is a marketing investment in your company and your website is your presence on the web.  Work with your Web design company if you have a low budget so that they can give you an idea of your options. </li>
<li>Start thinking and start writing the content you want for your website pages.  If you need help with your content talk to your web design company.  They can refer you to a content writer.</li>
<li>Make a list of keywords and key phrases that you know people will use when searching for your services online.  Also, be sure to ask about <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sEO">Search Engine Optimization</a> for your website.  Some web design companies also offer this service but if not they can refer you to an SEO company.  Keep in mind that this service requires a good budget and a commitment of at least 4 to 6 months.</li>
<li>Think about a <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/domain_name">Domain Name</a> you want for your website.  Try to keep the name short and simple, but also make sure it relates to your business.  Keeping it simple will help people remember your website.  Good examples of short and simple domain names are names like google.com, yahoo.com , msn.com, facebook.com, etc.</li>
<li> Be sure to ask your web design company how long your project will take. This will give you an idea of when it will be completed so you can plan accordingly.</li>
<li> Last but not least, if a relative tells you they can do your website, unless that relative is me, I would suggest you contact a professional web design company. My point is that if you want your website completed in a few weeks you really want to work with professionals that create websites for small businesses!</li>
