Choosing A SEO Friendly CMS Platform

August 25th, 2010

In order to be able to manage your website content properly, you will also need a very well set up and functioning Content Management System platform. If you do not have a good CMS, then you will not be able to sustain proper marketing management through SEO. It’s equivalent to not having good Free Antivirus software, and not being able to maintain your computer’s security effectively. The IT department, which is indeed responsible for managing the technical details regarding your CMS,is not able to watch over all the details of a proper content management system (such as the marketing related bits and parts of such a platform).

The following is a quick guide, which will help you make sure that you implement correctly, all the proper strategies, so that your CMS runs smoothly and it attains its marketing goals in the same time:

* The search engine marketing aspect is not the task of the IT department. Instead, marketing professionals should watch over this aspect. Together with IT specialists, you will be able to form the perfect team.
* Your platform should be enabled to allow title tag customization for all parts of your website, not only on one single page.
* Search engines pick up information and are able to recognize what your page is actually about, thanks to the meta tags. Therefore, meta tags are very important and must be inputted correctly in order for your content to gain real value.
* If you want a top place among search engine results, then you will need to create keyword rich URLs. This is yet one more step, which will help you climb the ladder on SERPs.
* With the use of no-follows and meta no-index tags, your content will get richer in links and traffic. If you want your CMS to work efficiently, then you will take care of this aspect as well.
* CMS platforms that do not offer customizable navigation tabs – this means that you are practically not allowed to categorize everything just as you want it, so it most probably will be an unsuccessful platform.

Sweetest Taboo

March 17th, 2010

I am about to tell you something controversial. Before I do this I would like you to clear all the expectations you have regarding tea-drinking out of your mind. Sit down and shut your eyes and let it drain from you, all of it. This is something you can only understand when your brain opens up a secret, special place: the place where taboos can be turned into dream-scape images. The place where things can be accepted which in usual Read the rest of this entry »

The old ‘Be Positive’

The old 'Be Positive'

“Please be positive!”: no three words—apart from “I’m leaving you!”, of course, and the one involving the word beginning with the letter before M which will not be mentioned here—have such an emotive, punishing, smack-you-about-the-head effect. Be positive, you think to yourself, cursing this big-headed individual whose absurdity knows no bounds, what kind of stupid advice is that? I’m hardly going to try and be more negative am I?!”

I used to hate the old be positive saying as Read the rest of this entry »

Enigin Stories

February 22nd, 2010

I had to smile when I read this Enigin Stories about how people always go over the top with their Christmas decorations on the outside of their humble abodes. There is nothing humble about the lengths that some people go to in order to make Blackpool Illuminations look like a forty watt bulb. The question is: why? Why would you want to spend hours assembling the jumble of Santa’s, trees, fake snow, a million bulbs etc. in order for everyone Read the rest of this entry »

An Abstract Idea

An Abstract Idea

This article comes with a disclaimer: this is just how it happens with me; it’s not necessarily what will happen with you.

I found this out some years ago—it’s a very odd idea, but with me it works every time. It’s something that seems ridiculous, but has proven itself with me a thousand times or more.

I discovered this when I was having really bad dreams–the kind which you do remember, and can’t seem to shift for hours after you Read the rest of this entry »

Some elementary maths

February 9th, 2010

I filled my car up the other day – £55 for 50 litres of your basic unleaded, I never have understood why anyone would buy the "premium" and indeed have never seen anyone do it! It got me to thinking where all that money goes, which lead me on to a little mental arithmetic while I was driving. I rounded the figures up of course to make the maths simpler.

So lets say you are a high rate tax payer, Read the rest of this entry »
