		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever imagined how much traffic you can get if your WordPress blog is ranked #1 in Google? Do you want to know a simple little trick that does this all automatically? If so, then this may be the most important blog post you&#8217;ve ever read. When we talk about optimizing a website, there are two different schools of thought. There are people who give more currency to on-page factors and then there are those who talk more about off-page factors. People who talk about on-page factors speak more about things like keyword optimization,using the right title tags, using less HTML, using the right fonts and images etc.,&#8230; Those who believe more in off-page factors won&#8217;t give much regard to all these points, but they will think more about generating more traffic through backlinking and other similar methods. Now, the big question is &#8211; which of these schools of thoughts is correct? Let us put it this way &#8211; if all your on-page factors are in order and if you just get one backlink for your website, then you have everything that might take you to #1 on Google. Yes, you read that right. This is absolutely true. And [...]

		<description><![CDATA[A Website Review can increase your business and save you moneyIf your website has been around a while (or was recently created by an amateur web developer), you may be losing out on search engine ranking. You may also be losing money if the website is ineffective at bringing customers into your business. Why? Even a website created by a professional a few years ago may need updating of both visible and invisible elements as the algorithms of the search engines are constantly being tweaked to provide their searchers with better results and a better user experience. I am constantly amazed at the number of websites that have been around for several years and do not appear at all in search engine results for their most important keywords. This is like having beautiful signage for your business stored in a shed and none on your building. How do you think that would work for you? Here are just a few of the shortcomings that could be revealed in a Website Review: Poor content â€“ often caused by unfocused text that tries to do too many things on one page. Remember the mantra &#8220;One page, purpose.&#8221; Page titles that donâ€™t match [...]

		<description><![CDATA[OrangeCat.com today announced the relaunch of the RE/MAX Elite Bluegrass Team website. The BluegrassTeam.com website runs on WordPress. What we wanted to achieve is to place IDX listings from LBAR (Lexington Board of Realtors&#174;) on the site, sorted by town and separating residential home and farm listings. In addition, we wanted the IDX listings to be on pages with Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URLs at the BluegrassTeam.com domain. A search of the LBAR MLS listings was also a required function. Search results should also be on the BluegrassTeam.com domain. This would help visitors to locate properties they were interested in seeing and help Google and other search engine to index the properties in a way that would enable easy search in their databases. We tried a few &#8220;out-of-the-box&#8221; solutions that promised to do exactly what was needed and every one of them left us disappointed in one way or another. There is a WordPress plugin from IDX Broker that allows IDX listings to be displayed from links placed on the agents or brokers website, but we still wanted them to show on the BluegrassTeam.com domain using SEF URLs. This was accomplished by creating a subdomain of the BluegrassTeam.com domain and [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The other day I overheard a person talking with their paid &#8220;web expert&#8221; about their ranking in the search engines (SEs). The &#8220;web expert&#8221; was explaining how well he had done his job by noting that the client ranked #1 on Google when they typed his company name into a Google search. Well, glory be&#8230; ranking #1 for one&#8217;s own name. That must have required a ton of work and some long, hard hours at the keyboard for the &#8220;expert&#8230;&#8221; NOT! I&#8217;ve seen the same kind of claims made for searched conducted using the website&#8217;s URL. WOW! A #1 ranking. Here&#8217;s the kind of results you should get using a domain-based search. I have had potential clients some to me who didn&#8217;t rank at all for their own company name. That&#8217;s a problem. Usually this occurs when a business doesn&#8217;t have a website and hasn&#8217;t been indexed online by a directory or other service. Fortunately, it is becoming a rare occurrence. What you really want to know is how well you rank for a keyword that your current or potential customers will type into Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. For instance, my business specializes in web marketing and is based in [...]
