Every page on your website should have a single URL associated with it. The main reason for that is that Search Engines penalize websites with duplicate content (i.e. same content on different URLs). (more…)

Many SEOs believe in implementing the attribute “rel=nofollow” on the menu links of Ecommerce sites.

That’s actually a pretty common SEO misconception even amongst the more experienced Search Engine Optimizers.

Here’s why, how, and everything in between: (more…)

It’s fascinating how little people know about Search Engine Optimization (SEO), in particular “expert” Search Engine Optimizers.

The thing with SEO is that it’s often better to know nothing about it than to know a little and think you can use all the tricks you’ve picked up on the web to fool Search Engines!

This article is dedicated to demystifying one particular aspect of SEO: the “rel=noffow” property and its effect on Page Rank. (more…)

Many people don’t know there is an official Magento user guide that is accessible online for free!

The thing is that the link to it is hidden very deep inside the Magento official website and it’s almost impossible to find it! If you search for it on Google you’ll only get links to the (paid) Magento User Guide ebook or some other pdf, or to some random wiki pages that belong to the online user guide but from which you will not be able to navigate to the other pages of the online user guide.

I don’t know if this was made on purpose to push people to buy the ebook, or if this is just some sort of navigation and SEO mess, but here is the link to the official (and free) online Magento user guide for you to enjoy:

If you change your site’s URL structure, you’ll probably need to redirect entire directories of your website to ensure that no links are lost.

This is very important for SEO and to not loose any incoming links to your site. So here’s how it’s done: (more…)

I’ve seen this happen many times over!
Companies have great intentions on keeping up with their blogs and online social networking efforts, regularly adding great articles, updating their Twitter statuses, etc… But then  after a few weeks, these tasks become somewhat of a burden and they start investing less and less in these efforts. Well, the thing about Inbound Marketing (i.e. promoting your site using blogs, social engines, search engines, etc…) is that the results won’t happen overnight. You can get great results over time, but you need to consistently invest in promotion efforts, content creations, etc…

The problem starts when you try to come up with great articles to post on your blogs, and think about writing a new post as one of the many tasks you need to accomplish. Inevitably, this approach leads to procrastination, until one day keeping up with your Inbound Marketing efforts become another line at the bottom of your long to-do list.

So how can you quickly and easily create new and interesting content for your blog and Twitterstatuses? The answer is rather simple – write about what you do! You do all kinds of things everyday. And a lot of what you do would be very interesting to your company’s readers and followers. Don’t plan too much – just write something about what you did lately, or found interesting yourself. Share a great resource you use, talk about a design update you finished, mention something that happened within the team you work with, talk about how your company was interviewed, or spread the news about a new project that your company launched. Better yet – give something for free!

These are all interesting posts that generate a lot of traffic and interest to our web design company. And if really you have nothing to say at all, well you can always link to the latest post on our blog! So stay tuned.
