How Blogging Aids SEO

Jessica Mefferd — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 21:01:48 +0000

Blogs naturally attract traffic from search engines because they are text-rich, link-rich, frequently updated webpages that use stylesheets, and have very little irrelevant HTML. Here are a few tips for your blog to enhance SEO.

Submit your blog into blog directories
It is a great way to get one-way links to your blog and to your site.

How to use keywords
One of the biggest mistakes is using high traffic keywords. High traffic keywords do not rank well and, in return, receive little traffic. There is no direct correlation between high traffic and high sales.

Instead, use keywords that receive a moderate level of traffic. Many of the most lucrative sites only have a moderate level of traffic because their profitable keywords. This results in more subscribers and more profit.

Know where to place your keywords:

Use your primary key phrase in the title of your blog or blogposts.
Use secondary keywords throughout the body of your post. Be careful not to use these too frequently to avoid sound unnatural.
Use your primary keyword in your blog domain.
Use your primary keywords in the anchor text of links.

Search Query
The length of your search query is extremely important. Four word queries form the highest conversion rates from search engine traffic. Because blogs are so well indexed, it has the potential to appear in any number of four word phrases relevant to your industry.

Also use two and three word phrases that target your industry. Try to use a phrase that will attract high traffic, yet with little competition. With constant new trends, developments, products and services, this should not be difficult to do.

Update Frequently
The more frequently content is updated, the more your site will be spidered. After consistent and habitual updating, the spider will eventually add you to a frequent schedule of returns. Your new pages will then show up faster in searches. This will be extremely advantageous to your new product or service.

Posting
You do not have to worry all day everyday about updating your blog. The best way to frequent new content is to write a number of blogs in advance and set up your blog software to post one each day. This will give your site new information each day, and you only set aside one day for blogging.

The Importance of Graphic Design

Rob Milburn — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:48:07 +0000

Graphic Design is all around us in our society. It is what drives advertising, attracts us to brands and makes public settings enjoyable or “hard on the eyes”. With this being said, it is no wonder why Graphic Design is so important to our everyday lives. As times and styles change, the socially acceptable elements of Graphic Design change.

Lets look at some examples of changing design.

In the 1970′s there was a lot of design being done with flowers and Earth Tones. This was due to the state of our society being in the “Hippy” era. Designs were Psychedelic and crazy with floral patterns and fun shapes.

In the 1980′s we found the masses being attracted to bright neon colors and a sort of robotic feel. This was most likely due to the advent of computers and the emergence of technology.

The 1990′s brought us a sort of transition phase to where we are now. I personally cannot think of any defined style or relevance of the 1990′s but it was probably in anticipation of the new millennium.

In this dawn of the new century we have a new style that is prevalent all around us. This is sort of a minimalistic, yet bold approach to design. Quite a few ads and designs are not much more than well placed images with a couple splashes of text and a logo. This style has been driving Websites, print ad campaigns and outdoor media for quite a few years now.

No matter what style of design an individual likes, if they are a designer, they still have to follow some basic elements of the trends around them. Adopting parts of various styles will make a design unique, but making sure it appeals to the masses is what will make the design successful.
