Google (SEO) Tips : Part 4 : Day 2 day updates (well ok perhaps weekly)
Thursday, October 13th, 2011
Add content to you site on a regular basis. Google loves fresh content, especially about your subject.
Make sure your new content includes your keywords and key phrases.
If possible syndicate your articles and link back to your site.
Get links to your site by posting replies in forums. Most forums will allow you to have a signature, where you can link to your website.
If you business to consumer, then link your articles on Facebook.
If you don’t have the resources or knowledge to update your site, employ someone that does, you will see a difference.
If you are struggling for ideas then ask someone outside your organization to interview you, imagine you are at a social occasion and need to explain to someone who doesn’t know your industry.

Here you can see a nice clean that also works well on mobile

Mobile phones and tablets have the ability to turn through 90degrees. This means that the web designer needs to make sure the site can ‘Resize’ on the fly. In most cases the phone or phone takes care of the resizing, but a wide website with lots of details is going to struggle.

As you can see in the picture this site looks good both ways. Some sites are built with banners, menu or the logo to tall so that the user has to scroll a lot before getting to information.

List Rule
- Listing items
- Clean fonts
- No complicated backgrounds
Smartphones need design consideration. There is a lot less room on the screen to play with, which means that labelling & navigation needs to be very clear and ideally less than 3 words.
Also you need to make sure the user feels comfortable, meaning that links and buttons need to be clear and easy to press when they are small.
The picture shows ebay, on the desktop it takes one screen, on the mobile 4 – 6

Flash & Apple
As you may or may not know, Iphones & Ipads presently do not have ‘Flash’ support.
What does this mean ?
Well simply put a lot of sites use flash for simple animation.
How does it effect me ?
Well if your site uses flash, then Ipad & Iphones do not show these elements. Some times this can be an advert, menu, banner, images or in some extreme cases the whole website.
What do we do to fix this ?
There are other techniques that can be used. One is Jquery, this uses similar technology to allow for simple animation.
A side issue is that presently Flash is not good for Google.
