Having kept track of several projects or as some put it, campaigns, one metric I keep an eye on is a keyword phrase competition array between my project sites and those with a strong hand on the top slots. See Understanding Your Competition on this site.

The components or on-page items such as Title, URL, Description, Header tag keyword usage, which in my opinion have little to do with the way you rank in Google, are typically all over the place.  This is to say, some of the top rankers have them, some have a partial set and others have none.

Page rank is another indicator which seems to serve as an indicator and not a qualifier for the most part, because not all the top rankers have high page ranks, although a number between 3 and 6 seem to be common with them.  I should also add, there are some lower page rankings in the top ten positions as well, but not many.

It starts to get meaty when the top slots appear to have many pages indexed on the search engine.

Google says: their primary concern is providing their users (more…)

We are an NH Website Development, Optimization, and Marketing company. We have been building content managed websites since 1997, yes, back when there was Only dial-up.  In fact we offered our clients free dial-up access with their website product. We also do standard websites, those without content management systems, but our clientèle are not web developers, have little need to learn HTML (or any other programming language for that matter), and have little use for the hands on nuts and bolts behind producing a website for their on-line portion of their business. Our content management systems are written specifically for the client’s website giving them the ability to make the modifications they need when they want to and not have to get a book for dummies to learn some freebee out of the box generic CMS. There’s an acronym for you.

Although some folks make their entire sites out of blog software, we found the need for a bit more flexibility avoiding the need to hack the blog software.  Instead, we decided a blog is a useful addition to our website, hence we get the best of both worlds!

The blog is an accent to our current website giving us a platform to focus on and emphasize points needing more detail, or discussion. At the same time it provides the opportunity for interaction and further details for items needing disussion.

The focus on the articles in the blog are intended to be in plain language (english) without all the wow lingo and acronyms showing how well we know wow lingo and acronyms. After all what good is it to use those and have you wonder, what does that mean?

The information should be presented as informative and helpful to you. There are lots of techies I can banter with flashing acronyms like switch blades, to borrow a reference from Bruce Springsteen’s “Jungle Land”.

We want this to be informative to the non-techie, help with understanding the concepts behind the products we offer, and the reasons we feel they will be helpful to you.

The motivation is we all have to start somewhere, we all have to start sometime, so it might as well be here and now, It’s Time… Be Found… Be Seen!
