A website without a call-to-action leaves the visitor wondering what to do next when they arrive on your website. Create a call-to-action telling the visitor what you would like them to do after they arrive to your website. Don’t create a chance for the visitor to leave empty handed.

Whatever industry you’re in there’s a forum for it. Choose a forum that best fits your business and start interacting. The best way is to answer questions, this will show that you’re an expert, and give you more value. Be sure to have a signature that includes your name, business name and contact information. Adding your website to your signature creates an extra entrance to your website. So the more comments you leave the more links you bring to your website.

A 301 redirect is basically telling the search engines that the page that you’re looking for does not exist and seamlessly directs the user to the page they should look at instead. The most common use of a 301 redirect is for directing the search engines from a domain name that starts without the WWW to one that starts with WWW or vise versa. For search engines a website that starts with WWW and the same one that starts with out the WWW are essentially two different websites. So for example if your website is www.websiteaddress.com but a user types in websiteaddress.com , the search engines will rank the two addresses separately even though they’re the same website. To eliminate this issue make sure you create a 301 redirect (ask your hosting provider to do it for you). So when the 301 redirect is set, anyone who types in websiteaddress.com they will automatically be redirected to www.websiteaddress.com and that’s what search engines like to see.

Customer reviews or testimonials when written directly on your website can increase your SEO rank. This is because reviews are generally considered as content and usually will include keywords that are associated with your company/products/services. Content with targeted keywords are always a plus with the search engines.

Flash intros or some times referred to as splash pages can be pretty, but have more negative impact rather than positive. Flash intros take a long time to load, are not search engine friendly and mostly they don’t really add any value to your users experience. Most people will either skip the intro or leave your website because they don’t have time to sit through it. Learn more about What is Flash and is it suitable for your business?
