One of the things that a
search engine algorithm scans for is the frequency and location of
keywords on a web page, but it can also detect artificial
keywordstuffing
or spamdexing.Then the algorithms
analyze the way that pages link to other pages in the Web. By
checking how pages link to each other, an engine can both
determine what a page is about, if the keywords of the linked
pages are similar to the keywords on the original
page.
Must Have Features Your Web Site
Just
don’t focus on the home page, keywords and
titles.
The first
step to sales when customers visit your site to see the products
they were looking for. Of course, search engine optimization and
better rankings can’t keep your customer on your site or make them
buy. The customer having visited your site, now ensure that he gets
interested in your products or services and stays around. Motivate
him to buy the product by providing clear and unambiguous
information. Thus if you happen to sell more than one product or
service, provide all necessary information about this, may be by
keeping the information at a different page. By providing suitable
and easily visible links, the customer can navigate to these pages
and get the details.
Understanding Your Target
Customer
If you
design a website you think will attract clients, but you don’t
really know who your customers are and what they want to buy, it is
unlikely you make much money. Website business is an extension or
replacement for a standard storefront. You can send email to your
existing clients and ask them to complete a survey or even while
they are browsing on your website. Ask them about their choices.
Why do they like your products? Do you discount prices or offer
coupons? Are your prices consistently lower than others? Is your
shipping price cheaper? Do you respond faster to client questions?
Are your product descriptions better? Your return policies and
guarantees better than your competitor’s? To know your customer you
can check credit card records or ask your customer to complete a
simple contact form with name, address, age, gender, etc. when they
purchase a product.
Does
your website give enough contact
information?
When you
sell from a website, your customer can buy your products 24 hrs a
day and also your customers may be from other states that are
thousands of miles away. Always provide contact
information, preferably on every page of your website, complete
with mailing address, telephone number and an email address that
reaches you. People may need to contact you about sales, general
information or technical problems on your site. Also have your
email forwarded to another email address if you do not check your
website mailbox often. When customer wants to buy online provide
enough options like credit card, PayPal or other online payment
service.
