Web Site Strategies
Keywords and meta tags are very important part of the overall website strategy. Even though they are not visible to most, but they are very important. As you build your website you have to consider what keywords or phrases your target audience may search to find your website online. Those keywords should appear in your Web content. Off course, that doesn’t mean that you want to repeat those keywords endlessly.
Keep in mind that you have target audiences. One is going to be your customer. The other is going to be the search engines. You are going to need both in order to succeed. If your customers don’t like your website they will quickly abandon it. If the search engines reject your site, your customers will never find your site.
Although search engines are very important there are other ways to drive traffic to your site. Blogs, forums, social networking sites, online magazines, paid listings, and more are also effective sources of traffic. Keep in mind that just like in any other business the more visitors you have the more exposure you get to potential customers. So your goal is to drive as many customers as possible to your website.
Having your contact information available on your side is a no-brainer. It is not enough to have one way for your customers to contact you. Some people prefer contact through e-mail while others prefer a phone call. There is not one way to contact your customer is going to satisfy everyone. Therefore, you should list as many different options as you can. E-mail, online chat, telephone, fax, mailing address is among the most popular options.
Competitive analysis is important. You should study your competitors’ web sites to understand how you measure up. Studying and analyzing your competitor does not mean copying your competitor. It is always smart to keep an eye on your competition. You should be able to learn a great deal from visitor and competitors’ web sites. Study the pros and cons and learn as much as you can. Don’t feel bad about this. Everybody is doing it. Studying your competition is not only normal but smart business.
