7 Widely Believed Myths Of SEO

I recently signed up to a few business and SEO forums and was amazed at what people still recommend. As there are so many people offering outdated or wrong tips and tricks on how to improve your search engine optimisation (SEO) campaigns, I thought I’d let you know of some of the biggest myths around. Search engines are always changing their algorithms, and over the past decade things have changed dramatically. Due to complexity of this industry, and the rapid changes, this has led to the many believed SEO myths which I have listed below. 1) Submit your websites to search engines I still hear about people submitting their website to Google and other search engines to get indexed and to “rank higher” – this just simply isn’t true anymore. It has been at least 5 years since this technique has been necessary and all you need to do is obtain a few backlinks and make sure your not blocking robots from crawling your website. 2) Keyword densities There are still hundreds and hundreds (probably thousands) of websites that either have lots of keywords spammed at the bottom of their website or within their content. This will do more harm than good, and it’s almost a certainty that you will get penalised and dropped from the results. So instead of spamming, I recommend that you write great content targeted towards your visitors and to include your chosen keywords naturally (this should not be a problem as you should be targeting relevant keywords to the page). 3) Content length A while ago, there was a big rumour that went around saying that you need to have a specific number of words in order to get indexed and to increase your position. Your content should be as long as it needs to be to tell the reader exactly what you need to. 4) Keyword rich domain name It is still widely believed that if you have keywords within your domain name like www.website-design-nbat-digital.co.uk, that it will improve your rankings. This is not true. Your domain should be short, contain your company name and most importantly be easy to remember. Note from Ann: I actually still believe in this one (But not in spamming your domain with keywords though) 5) Meta Tags are no longer relevant To an extent this is true, but there are still some uses for the META tags. First off, I’d like to say that the keywords tag is no longer used by the main search engines, and therefore does not need including, let alone optimising. Now that’s out the way, let’s move onto the other main META tag – description. The description tag does not affect rankings in anyway, but it’s a chance for you to try and sell your company and to get a user to click on your website. If you can write a compelling ad that is about your product or service, then you could see your click through rates increase through the roof. Finally, the title tag. [...]

Design Essentials: Attention to detail

In defense of simplicity: Detail vs. Clutter Now, in promotion of minimalistic and simplistic design, there is a huge difference between attention to detail in design and simply cluttering a design with unnecessary details. Paying attention to the detail of a design means you consciously examine and polish every element of your design–whether simple or complicated. It means you only include what is necessary, and you make necessary elements beautiful. Many designers confuse creativity with clutter . Even cluttered designs can be created without attention to detail. Simplicity is a great way to focus on what is important in your design and then really make it shine. Beauty is in the details Many times designers wonder what they can do to make their designs look more professional. Probably 9 times out of the 10 that I get asked “What would make this look better?”, my answer involves a reference to the details. This one of the primary differences between beginning designers and experienced ones. Beginning designers hastily finish a project when it looks good while experienced designers aren’t finished until it looks great. A few tips Lastly, I’d like to suggest a few tips that will help any designer learn to more effectively pay attention to the small details of his design. • Thoroughly analyze designs you think are impressive. Make a list of what makes them so great. Study them, talk to the designer, and learn all you can about the process, the motivation, and more. • Zoom. A one word solution that will help you identify flaws or mediocre design lapses. After you have finished your design, zoom in–and I mean close. Look at all the spacing, colors, shapes, vector graphics, etc. Get really close and inspect all the details. • Leave it alone, then return to it. After you have designed something that you think is wonderful, leave it for a few days. Allow time in your scheduling to do this and you are sure to catch any small details you overlooked the first time. • Get feedback from others. Many times we cannot see something because we simply have been looking at it for a long time. If we bring someone else on the scene and ask for feedback, most likely they will spot errors or have suggestions that we otherwise would have overlooked. What do you think? Is attention to detail really that important or should I step down from my soapbox? Please share with us any thoughts or experiences you might have regarding this essential part of design: attention to detail. Source: Graphic Design Blender

Claves del diseño: Atención en los detalles

En defensa de la simplicidad: Detalle vs desorden Ahora, en la promoción del diseño minimalista y simplista, hay una enorme diferencia entre la atención al detalle en el diseño y simplemente saturan un diseño con detalles innecesarios. Prestar atención a los detalles de un diseño significa que conscientemente examinar y pulir cada elemento de su diseño, ya sea simple o complicada. Esto significa que sólo se incluyen lo necesario, y se hacen elementos necesarios hermosa. Muchos diseñadores confunden creatividad con el desorden. Incluso los diseños desordenados se pueden crear sin atención al detalle. La simplicidad es una gran manera de centrarse en lo que es importante en su diseño y luego realmente para que resbale. La belleza está en los detalles Muchas veces los diseñadores se preguntan qué pueden hacer para que sus diseños un aspecto más profesional. Probablemente 9 veces de los 10 que se me pregunta "¿Qué haría que este se vea mejor?", Mi respuesta implica una referencia a los detalles. Esta una de las principales diferencias entre los diseñadores y los que comienzan los experimentados. diseñadores que comienzan a toda prisa terminar un proyecto cuando se ve bien mientras que los diseñadores experimentados no han terminado hasta que se ve muy bien. Algunos consejos Por último, me gustaría sugerir algunos consejos que ayudarán a cualquier diseñador de aprender a pagar más efectiva atención a los pequeños detalles de su diseño. • analizar a fondo los diseños que usted piensa que son impresionantes. Haga una lista de lo que los hace tan grande. Estudio de ellos, hablar con el diseñador, y aprender todo lo posible sobre el proceso, la motivación, y mucho más. • Zoom. Una solución de una palabra que le ayudará a identificar defectos o fallos de diseño mediocres. Después de que haya terminado su diseño, zoom-y me refiero cerca. Mira todo el espacio, colores, formas, gráficos vectoriales, etc. llegar muy cerca e inspeccionar todos los detalles. • Deja eso, y luego volver a ella. Después de haber diseñado algo que usted cree que es una maravilla, se deja durante unos días. Deje tiempo en su programación para hacer esto y que está seguro de coger cualquier pequeños detalles que daba a la primera vez. • Obtener retroalimentación de los demás. Muchas veces no podemos ver algo porque simplemente hemos estado buscando en ella durante mucho tiempo. Si traemos a alguien más en la escena y pedirle su opinión, lo más probable que se dará cuenta errores o tiene alguna sugerencia que de otra forma habría pasado por alto. ¿Qué piensas? Es la atención al detalle realmente tan importante o debería renunciar a mi tribuna? Por favor, comparta con nosotros cualquier pensamientos o experiencias que pueda tener con respecto a esta parte esencial del diseño: la atención al detalle Source: Graphic Design Blender
