Seo:Title Optimization

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Many SEO professionals still argue over this but the page title tag element is still one of the most important factors for ranking highly in the search engines.

The title tag is displayed as the first line of text in the blue row at the top of any browsing window. Search Engine Friendly title tag is ideally 3-9 words (60-80 characters) maximum in length, straight and to the point, this is what will show up in search engine results as a link to your page. Have at least one main keyword in title tag but don’t stuff all of your keywords in it. SEO Tip: make sure your Page Title Tag is relevant to the content on the page and EVERY page should have it’s own Title tag.

Creating a First Visit Web Page Pop Up Window

Monday, July 14th, 2008

It’s a proven fact that the use of popup windows is an effective marketing technique that produces great results. However, they can be very irritating to your visitors. How can you use this powerful marketing technique without offending your visitors? Compromise and use a popup window that only displays the first time your visitor enters your site.

Place the following code within the <BODY> of your web page.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
<!–
function GetCookie(name) {
var arg=name+”=”;
var alen=arg.length;
var clen=document.cookie.length;
var i=0;
while (i<clen) {
var j=i+alen;
if (document.cookie.substring(i,j)==arg)
return “here”;
i=document.cookie.indexOf(” “,i)+1;
if (i==0) break;
}
return null;
}
var visit=GetCookie(”COOKIE1″);
if (visit==null){
var expire=new Date();
window.name = “thiswin”;
newwin=open(”yourpage.htm”, “dispwin”,
“width=450,height=455,scrollbars=yes,
menubar=no”);
expire=new Date(expire.getTime()+7776000000);
document.cookie=”COOKIE1=here; expires=”+expire;
}
// –>
</SCRIPT>

Change the text where indicated in red.

The “yourpage.htm” text specifies the popup window url.

Change the height and width to your preferred window size.

Office 2007 Users

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Users who have Office 2007 on their computers can save each file in the earlier version. For example, when saving a document in Word:

1. Click on the Office button
2. Choose the Save As - Word 97-2003 Document

This will save the file in the recognized format for older versions (.doc).

A second option is to have Office 2007 users change the default setting for their files in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. to automatically save in a lower version. This is better than having to try and remember each time you save a file to change the file type. To change the default setting:

1. Open an Office application, for example Word
2. Click on the Office button
3. Click on the Word Options button at the bottom of the window
4. Click on Save to display the options
5. Click the down arrow next to the field for Save files in this format and choose  Word 97-2003 (*.doc)
6. Click OK to save the default
