Websites have revolutionized the way we used to do business. Since inception of Ecommerce and search engines, we are more and more using web applications to shop products or to avail websites. A proper, up-to-date and well maintained website provides an insight into the reliability, concept, quality and standard of any firm, business or enterprise. Regular checking and quality assurance are must-haves in website maintenance. Here are a few tips for efficient website maintenance and must be kept in mind:

  • Necessity checks: The first thing to be taken care of is to regularly check the need and requirement of each item on your website. It not only prevents unnecessary efforts required in maintenance of things which are not required; but also keeps the website crisp, accurate and to the mark for the viewer.
  • User testing: Test your website extensively for any errors and functionality. This has to be done before you start promoting your website.
  • Maintaining content: The contents of the website must be continuously updated to match the latest developments. The content must be gone through thoroughly before as well as after uploading it to the website. Outdated content must be continuously checked for and removed without fail.
  • Provide information: Ensure that you provide all the vital information about the firm or the enterprise or the concept on which the website is based. Introduce the firm and make available all vital statistics.
  • Suggestions: Always make sure to add the option of viewers’ suggestions in the website page so that viewers can post in their suggestions, expectations for future and opinions on the site. This will eventually lead to higher levels of customer satisfaction and bring more viewership as well as higher rating to the website.
  • Rival websites: Always keep a track of the latest developments and updates on the websites of your rival firms and companies in order to learn from them and improve your own website so as to make it the best in the market.
  • Check links: Keep all the URL links under constant check. Any change in a related URL must be tracked. In case the URL expires, make sure to update the name and URL address. It brings negative publicity and opinions to have expired web links on your website.
  • Proof-reading: Always get your websites professionally proof-read to ensure that there are no spelling or grammatical errors. Small errors like misspent words or errors in grammar bring doubts upon the credibility of the website. Thus proof-reading is a must do for the entire content of the website.

Thus, the above mentioned are a few important points that must be paid heed to in order to create and maintain a good and reliable website. A regular, scheduled maintenance and analysis of your website, after creation, using the above techniques might prove integral to the success and popularity of the website.

10 Million Shares To Be Sold By Google Founders

According to an SEC filing, Google’s Co-Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have planned to sell off their 10 million shares over next 5 years. With stock trading around $550 as on Jan 22, 2010, total revenue generation is estimated to be at $5.5 Billion. This is a typical strategy followed by tech founders to diversify their share holdings. Microsoft’s founder, Bill Gates sold stocks of Microsoft in a similar manner to diversify the stock value.

Larry and Sergey, with each selling 5 million shares will be collectively left with 48% voting power and 47.7 million shares (15% of total Google’s outstanding capital stock). Current holdings held by the co-founders is of 57.7 million shares which represents 59% of voting power and 18% of Google’s total outstanding capital stock.

Though the founders would have the largest holding in Google but the sell off would mean that Larry and Sergey will no longer have full control on share holder voting outcome as they do today. Of course they can stop selling shares before they are left with 50% voting power. Even if they sell off entire 10 million shares and have 48% of voting power, Larry and Sergey have long list of loyal supporters, employees and investors who would go along with their say in decisions made in the company.

With advancements in Google’s technology and strategic introduction of Android, Google Chrome and Nexus One, future looks bright with Google.

GOOGLE is the name that strikes your mind first when you want to find something on internet. In true sense, Google is the synonym for internet. If you are looking for bakeries, florists, plumbers or even internet developers, all you need to do is to go to Google and search and find the right source to match your requirements.  Google is the lifeline for businesses that are looking to be found by clients all over the world.

Generally a normal user would just browse through the first couple of pages in Google while searching for what they need. If they do not find what they want, they would in general experiment by changing or modifying the keyword they use for searching. Keeping this in mind Google brings up the most relevant searches on the first page for different keywords. For this, Google uses an algorithm which would measure the site on its relevance with the keyword being fed in by the user to get the best and the most relevant result on the first page.

Although Google’s idea is simple, the implementation hasn’t been that easy.  There are many webmasters who keep researching on the Google algorithm and try to make changes to their websites according to what Google likes. This is a way to reach the first page of Google for a related key phrase. However, Google knows about such elements and to avoid such websites Google keeps changing their algorithm enabling such tricksters to keep making changes to their websites. The latest change that Google has made is very recent which has started taking effect January onwards.

Google has now emphasised on the way site code is written. Google wants the code of your site to be clean and easily read. In brief, Google wants you to keep the code (HTML and scripts) to be short and sweet. However, this is not the only thing to be able to see your site on first page of Google. There are others as well, but if you can just follow the Google guidelines on optimization, your site will surely rank well.

To sum it up all, type Google Guidelines for Optimization on Google and find out how Google wants you to build your website to be indexed easily by Google.

How To Choose A Domain Name

Dec 27, 2009

Choosing a domain name can be very tiring and time consuming, especially if your business is all about selling products through marketing on the web. Normally we tend to choose a domain name which is similar to the business name of the company. But if we wish to aim at getting business through search engines, then we need to carefully select the domain name.

Here are few tips that will help you to choose a domain name that is best suited for your business.

  • Have your keywords in the domains name e.g. if you are selling NBA tickets, it is advised to have a domain name like NBATicketsOnline.com or similar. Having your prominent keywords in domain name reduces the SEO efforts and gets your website quickly on the top of search engines.
  • Chose a short domain name. The shorter the domain name is, the more weighted it is from SEO point of view.
  • .com is the most popular TLD. Unless you have specific locations to target, you should try to get a .com domain. Second most popular one is .net.
  • If you are buying a domain name from secondary market, do check out if the domain is not banned or facing a penalty on search engines.
  • From SEO point of view, first priority should be to choose a domain name without dashes “-“.

Also when you choose a domain name and you wish to create a brand out of it, choose a domain name that appeal to masses. Google.com, Yahoo.com, Amazon.com, Apple.com are few examples of domain names that are simple and easy to recognize. If you can couple your keywords in a domain name and create an easy-to-remember domain name then there is nothing like that.

It is important to choose your domain name wisely. Once you get your domain live, all your efforts will be focused on promotions and optimization of your business website, so depending on your business needs you should buy the best suited domain name in the first place.
