How to Increase Conversions on any Website in 45 Minutes

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:41:43 +0000

If you’re anything like me, it’s easy to “finish and forget” when it comes to web development. Once a website is live and the boss or client is happy, we close the project, kick off our shoes and crack a beer.

Part of the problem with this approach is the ever changing landscape online. Something that converts visitors today, might not be working two months from now (in some cases, it may not be working in the first place, but no one took the time to test it).

SEOmoz | Targeting Multiple Keywords vs. Singular Keyword Focus

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:52:28 +0000

Despite being a seemingly simple topic, this one seems to stymie even experienced SEOs. There’s a natural conflict that creates the issue – the more keywords you target on a single page, the less you need to link build and optimize (for both search engines and user experience/conversion rate) on many pages.

How Many Keywords

To answer this question in a logical and truly optimal fashion, you need to start with the answer to two other important questions:

1. How many of these keywords carry the same visitor intent?

2. How competitive are the targeted terms/phrases?

When you answer the first question, you’ll be able to break up lists of keyword terms into buckets of “intent.” Searches are almost always intended to discover information or take action. If there are too many pieces of information/actions you need to provide on a single page, your conversion will drop. Remember that a 10% conversion rate for position #10 is better than a 0.5% conversion rate for position #1 (assuming the avgs. from the leaked AOL data cited below).

Awesome Speech Bubbles With Pure CSS3

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:52:03 +0000

Nicolas Gallagher is sharing a creative way on creating good-looking speech bubbles with CSS3.

There are no images or JavaScript in the implementations but uses the :before and/or :after pseudo-elements to produce basic shapes.

The HTML remains semantic however we should remember that CSS3 is not fully supported by all major browsers & we may again require JavaScript to add this support (like IE7.js).
