Using Right Background Images For Your Website

It is important that the look and feel of our websites strike a chord with the visitors. If your visitors are not happy with your website then they go to the other options that they have. We always come across sites that have probably a wrong music playing when it opens or might have a horrible background image which acts as a huge turn off. These elements become a hindrance for the visitor and leave a negative impact on them.

A website should be able to provide a pleasant user experience, without a pleasant user experience

visitors will not come back to your website. We must have seen many websites that have a background image, but is it really necessary to add such an image to your website? Does it help or harm the website in anyway? We need to consider a few points and do the necessary homework before we actually decide on adding a background image to our website.

A background image should never hamper the user experience in any way. Sometimes background images are too colorful or too dark in a way that it becomes difficult to understand the content on the website. You do not want the image to be the reason for the visitor to leave your website. So the question you first need to ask is whether it will attract or distract your visitor. If you are going to add a background image to your existing website then ask your regular visitors whether its hampering their experience or not. If it is not attracting visitors then it’s better not to have it. You do not want anyone leaving because of a background image.

It’s important that you keep your visitor interested in the content of your website. If your background image is not matching your brand or if doesn’t relate to your target audience then better not have it. Understand your audience or else you will end up hurting yourself. Always use images that relate to your brand and appealing to your visitors.

You see different size backgrounds images on different websites. The size of the image is also an important factor when it comes to background images. If the image utilizes more space than the site will take more time to load and you know that we do not like waiting for the websites to load. The more the websites take time to load the quicker will your visitors leave.

All your content should be easily readable no matter how your background image is. All of your text should be readable over the background image, so any transparencies might sit better if the background is anchored to the top.

You also need to know what kind of device is most used to view your website. The viewing experience is different on a computer and a smartphone. If you're using a repeating background then it won't probably apply because it will expand or contract depending on the screen size of the device.Bottom-line is that if you can still keep your visitor interested with a background image and if he or she is still able to get a great user experience then you do not have any problems.

Reaching Out to Users with Search Engine Optimized Content

One   of the things that users are having to learn about search engine optimization these days is
that it's greatly based in how useful a site is to a visitor. In    order to properly search    engine optimize your site, you have to make certain that you are providing good content   that users
will want to read. You also have to promote it to the search engines, of course, and that requires that you do everything you can to make it easy for those search engines to understand    what your
content is, what it's about and why users should read it.

Archives

Professional premium WordPress themes typically have archiving features built into them. These archiving features play a vital role in search engine optimizing your site. In fact, they allow you to easily transform your site into a tremendously detailed resource for all different types of users. Users can explore your new content, which they are more likely to find on the search engines, and then
utilize your tags and links to find older content in your archives.

Make sure your archive is something that users will want to explore. Every once in a while, go through it and clean it out. On a professional WordPress theme, it's generally pretty easy to go through your archived content and to start deleting articles that don't make the grade for your site anymore.

Add Images

Adding images to posts is a great way to get some search engine optimization benefit. If you're using a professional theme, the theme will generally make it very easy to add images and to tag them correctly so that they, too, can be provided with the keywords that you're trying to promote for. Remember that keywords aren't everything anymore but, in an image, there's really no reason that you shouldn't have a tag that utilizes good keywords.

Take a good look at your content and make sure that it is visually, intellectually and topically interesting. If it is, there's a good chance that you're doing a great job at search engine optimizing your site. The search engines are really looking for good content these days. With a good theme, WordPress is a tremendously useful platform for making certain that all of the good content that you worked so hard to get online gets noticed and that it attracts readers, whether you're trying to attract them for business purposes or not.

It is possible to make money with a blog. It is an undeniable fact that people do make money with
their blogs, but you must understand that they are not making a lot of money. There are no bloggers
who have ever made millions of dollars though their blog. The people who promise you tips to
earn you hundreds of dollars with your blog are lying to you. If you would like to make some
money with your blog posts then try the techniques on this article. The techniques on this article will
make you a few dollars per month, therefore, if you want to make more money via your blog posts,
you will have to find ways to scale-up your blogging operation.

Write them on behalf of a company that pays you

This is a sure fire way of making a positive return on your blog post, which is why it is listed at
the top of the list. Online businesses are always looking for new ways to advertise their website
and their products. If you can prove that your blog is highly attended then there are many
online businesses that will pay you to write things on your blog. Primarily they will want you
to link from your blog post to their website, so may require you to write about a subject that is
related to them without actually mentioning them by name. Otherwise they may simply want
you to write about how great they are and then link to them. These online businesses will be
willing to pay you more if you can prove that you have lots of people attending your blog on a
regular occasion.

Write a review about a product that you affiliate advertise on your blog post

There are affiliate programs that allow you a reasonable amount of control over what adverts
run on your blog. All you need to do is find an affiliate program where you are sure you know
what will appear on each blog post, and then write about those products. For example if you
know that your blog post will run affiliate adverts for kinetic powered generators then you
could write an expose on those types of generators, or a review on those types of generators.
That way you will attract people who are looking for information on that particular product.
It means that they are highly likely to look at adverts for the product after they have finished
reading your blog. If you get people to click on the adverts then you are paid via your chosen
affiliate system.

Write blog posts that gain a great PageRank and charge people for links from it

People really want links from websites that have a high PageRank, because they have a more
beneficial effect on the websites that they link to. So all you need to do is build up your
blogs ranking and then sell links from it. Be careful that you do not advertise your link selling
service online, because if Google finds out that you are selling links (instead of creating them
organically) then they will punish your blog, and may even ban you from appearing on the
Google search engine results.

Make it a big advert for your ecommerce products that you link to via the blog post

This is a cheap trick but is used by a lot of people. Write blog posts about the products on your
ecommerce website and then link your blog post to them. The idea is that people look at the
blog post about your products, and are so bowled over by the blog post that they follow the
link t your ecommerce website and buy the product. It is does generate some sales but as you
can imagine the sales are few and far between (unless you happen to be an expert blog post
marketer).

Web Hosting Tips to Improve Your SEO

When it comes to SEO, most webmaster's concerns revolve around creating effective in-bound links and high quality and authoritative content. All these features are important for a successful SEO campaign. however without having an optimal web hosting service provider all these efforts become null and void. In essence, your choice of a web hosting company can actually break or make your SEO and Internet marketing initiatives. Some of the web- hosting tips that can help improve your SEO initiatives include.

1. Administrative Panel

An important starting point when choosing a web hosting service should be on the features and quality of its administrative panel. An administrative panel is basically a control panel with multiple features and tools developed to promote SEO. Great web-hosting services come with an administrative panel that formats the sites code to appeal to SEO bots, consequently improving site rank.
In addition, administrative panels offer open source content management tools and features that seamlessly integrate with external search engine optimization applications. It is recommended that the web hosting service of choice should come with features that automatically insert title tags and meta tags on each website page. Additionally, SEO web applications that are compatible with the administrative panel can be easily downloaded to automate your SEO strategy. For instance, you can install web applications that allow you to simultaneously post your website content to social bookmarking platforms. This has the effect of generating valuable in-bound links that inevitably increase your page rankings.

2. Shared vs Single Hosting Services

Most website hosting provider's offer shared web hosting services that allow a multitude of users with unique domain names to feature on a single IP address, while still sharing the same bandwidth and data storage space. Hosting services that attach single domains to an IP address are more effective for SEO purposes. This is because search engines algorithms, such as Google, factor in page loading speeds and site performance when assigning page ranking. Nevertheless this feature is more important to ecommerce sites and domains that require huge data storage space to accommodate their multimedia features. On the other hand, sharing an IP address that hosts spammer websites can have a negative effect on your SEO campaign. The effects are more adverse especially in instances where your website shares an IP address with numerous spammer or non-legitimate sites.

3. Server Reliability

A web hosting with a server that frequently experiences downtime can have disastrous effects to you SEO campaign. During downtime periods, potential site visitors are hampered from accessing your site - similar situation occurs for search engine bots. It is important to note that in case server downtime occurs occasionally, it may have limited effect on your site ranking. However, in instances where search engine bots repeatedly experience site downtime, your search engine rankings are bound to drop significantly since your site is viewed as unreliable.

4. Geographical Location of Hosting Company's Servers

As earlier pointed out, the domain assigned by your web hosting company is attached to an IP address. An IP address indicates the location of the FTP hosting server. For instance, if your web hosting provider server is located in England, Google will assume that your website caters primarily to England's Internet users. Nevertheless other factors, such as language utilized on the site, have an influence on how Google prioritizes search engine results based on location. On the other hand this problem can be easily solved by optimizing your content with geo-tags. Geo tagging involves the process of inserting your web content with geographical keywords.

Conclusion

When it comes to SEO campaigns, the choice of your web hosting service provider determines your success rate. Nevertheless, web hosting SEO services should complement other external SEO strategies, for instance content optimization, not override them. All in all, the benefits of web hosting service to a webmaster when it comes to SEO should never be underestimated.
