How to Integrate SEO and Content Management Strategies for High Ranking and Traffic


If you wonder why your SEO strategies may not be working, it is possibly due to poor and disconnected content management (CM) strategies. CM refers to the process of managing website pages from a single location and optimizing them through collaborative connections and then monitoring and updating the process according to changes in SEO campaign outcomes.

Content management systems (CMS) can and must be optimized to support SEO strategies. Here are steps on how you can interconnect SEO and CM strategies for better ranking and traffic.

Produce Generic Site Maps

All CM solutions must enable automated sitemap generation and updating. Some of the best practices include limiting the quantity of links on any single page to less than 100. To achieve this, the developer may need to make a series of hierarchical Site Maps to enable quick access to search spiders all over the site. Read more on this article: http://bit.ly/2q88RCs

Avoid Some Common Search Engine Optimization Mistakes and Improve Your Rankings


For small businesses, there’s no denying the positive effects of owning a website in terms of sales volume and brand visibility. According to a marketing survey, 81% of shoppers conduct online research before buying anything. This number includes those who read product reviews before buying and those who use a search engine before landing on a specific website.
Therefore, it’s important for your company to obtain higher search engine rankings, which increase the chances of a web user clicking on your company’s link instead of another’s.
The one thing you have to understand about search engine optimization is that it should put your website link at the top of organic results when potential customers search online. This is extremely important as most internet users never scroll past the first page when surfing the web. Read more from this blog: http://bit.ly/2p9qEf3

However, you might gain a sense that there is more out there on which to capitalize, but are unsure of how to broach the opportunity. Well, lucky for you, the right SEO strategies can help you define and pursue an expanding market for your Traverse City business.

In today’s world, having an online presence is simply not enough. You may already maintain a website, but its presence is moot if nobody can find it every time a web user browses for your product or service. Simply put, without sending traffic to your website, anything you promote online will not be seen by your target audience, resulting in a huge waste of both time and money.

In Defense of WordPress: A Look at the Platform’s Ability to Create Web Design That Improves SEO

Having a fully-functioning website for your business is a necessity, but with so many options for web design out there, it is difficult to know where to begin. One great option is WordPress. Maybe you have heard of this as the site where your aunt hosts her sewing blog, but believe it or not, WordPress can do more than just give you a blog. In fact, it is an incredible platform that can give you a professional-looking site. Here are a few reasons why you should consider WordPress.


SEO: The Magical Letters

Like many companies out there, you may have felt discouraged with your search engine optimization efforts when you see other companies climbing the ranks while you’re left eating dust. While it is frustrating to see this, it’s a constant reminder that Google’s algorithm is constantly changing to weed out sites that use black hat and gray hat SEO techniques.

If this is your story, step back and check if you need to reevaluate your current SEO strategy. Have you been relying on black and gray hat techniques when you should have been doing white hat instead?

SEO in Traverse City: Optimizing for the Age of Mobile-First Marketing

Venture Beat predicts that, by 2019, spending on mobile advertisements will reach $195.55 billion, and that these ads will compose 70.1 % of total digital advertising costs. Optimization-related expenditures will likewise cost $80 billion by 2020. Furthermore, searches in mobile devices are currently overtaking desktop searches, while Google stated that 34% of all online purchases come from mobile devices.

In 2015, Lloyd’s, a British insurance company, approximated that cybercrimes had cost businesses around $400 billion every year. The costs included direct damages and post-attack effects, such as operational disruptions.

Memorial Day Meditation - A Trip to Arlington

Not long ago I visited the Arlington Cemetery to pay my respects and to watch the Changing of the Guard Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It is one of the most heart felt and somber moments I can remember in my life.
 
While walking through the cemetery I asked myself one question while overlooking all the grave markers, "How many more lives need be lost, before humanity finally realizes, God never intended for us to take One single life?"

Please take a few moments to reflect on the mental anguish each military person endures when put in harms way. Meditate on Peace here...

Albert Einstein Consciousness



"A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive."

--- (Albert Einstein, 1954)


Albert Einstein was one of the most enlightened spiritual beings to ever walk this planet. Unfortunately, most people only know the scientist (human) side of him. He knew he was not limited to the role he was playing. Marianne Williamson posted this message from him on her Facebook page this morning and I thought it was definitely worth sharing it again here.
