With the advent of regularly changing search engine algorithms, it is essential to keep in touch with latest trends to prevent your website from dropping down a search engine’s page rankings.

You may have a great website template with apps galore and a fully integrated blog, but none of these matter if your website is on page 10. Most Internet users want to find information fast, minimizing their search time to reach the requested information as quickly as possible. In this regard, it becomes a top priority to ensure your information is presented on page one of the search enquiry. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to achieve consistently high page-ranking results for your website.

There is an ocean of so-called website designers out there, you need someone who can steer you clear of the rocks and shoals and deliver you to success and profitability.

After all, the reason you have a website is to expose your business to a broader audience, attract more clients, and grow your enterprise. You need someone who understands web design & development and who will take the time to understand your needs and goals and then work with you to achieve them.

Many site designers believe that delivering a product is a onetime thing – publish your site and we’re done. At one time, that may have been true; anyone with a little HTML knowledge or a software package could throw together a respectable web page. To be competitive today, you need someone that understands modern web design, navigation, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and social networking. You should choose a company that is high in ranking for searches such as 'Web Design (insert your nearest city or town), as if they are able to reach first page for this kind of competitive search then they will be able to build you a site that does well in searches also. For intance we come first page (within the top 4) for the search of Web Design proving we know what we are doing with regards to SEO as this search is highly competitive and therefore harder to acheive first page.

Having accepted to do some SEO work for Stone City Films to promote their new film Unconditional i decided we should watch the trailer this morning, after all we like to know exactly what we are helping with. Imagine my suprise when i realised it's a film i'm actually in! (albeit for a second apparently, so im told).

I did a friend a favour at the start of last year and became an extra for an afternoon in a scene in Newcastle west end bar. A few days later i bumped into a film editor friend who told me he was editing it and let me watch the rough edit, the name of the film wasn't finalised at the time so this is a real turn up!

Anyway it's a great film all shot in Newcastle and the North East staring Christian Cooke, check the unconditional trailer out on the official unconditional movie website, theres also an unconditional movie review here.

It's obvious that with all these 'coincidi' that I'm destined to be a famous millionaire actor one day, people will look back and scour this film for my entrance onto the silver screen. Probably. I haven't much time like, I'm 42 in 3 hours and can't act.

This week we sent live our first holiday cottage website for Lemmington Estates. The site at www.lemmingtoncottages.com has been designed and developed with an upmarket feel to reflect the outstanding qualities of 'Keepers Cottage', a five star gold awarded self catering cottage situated in Northumberland near Alnwick.

It's a beautiful and clean site showing stunning images of the cottage interior on the home page and features an integrated booking system, video, image gallery and animated javascript navigation.

As well as designing specifically for high conversion the site is built to be heading for first page of the search 'Luxury Holiday Cottage Northumberland' with extensive SEO work including the base domain being www.luxuryholidaycottagenorthumberland.co.uk plus a rank boosting package of one way inbound links to help it along.
 

" We had our first sale yesterday at 6pm, not a bad start 2 days after live. Was our real first real visitor, good conversion ratio.
My wife spoke to her today and she said it was the best site she'd seen. Well done & thanks."

The power of linkedin has certainly become more apparent to me over the few years. Learning how to use it properly is the first step so i thought i'd post this infographic by MindFlash.com called LinkedIn Bootcamp: Basic Training For The Personal Marketer. It gives a breakdown of the basics for creating an effective LinkedIn profile and account. If you're new to LinkedIn (or have been there a while and not quite clicked on) read the following carefully. For more information visit MindFlash.
