What SEO Consultants

Having rich content and helpful information on your web pages is the second step. Reputable SEO Consultants and SEO Experts know that web site design is not a question of tricks.
Optimizing your web site for search engines is a key component to successful web site traffic and sales. Having your site at the top of search engine results is the first step in getting visitors to your site. Having rich content and helpful information on your web pages is the second step. Reputable SEO Consultants and SEO Experts know that web site design is not a question of tricks. It’s a question of search engine-friendly web site design.
Search engines return results based on many factors. Their formulas are complex algorithms that consider things like incoming links, keyword intensity, and web site popularity. SEO Experts know that the best way to rank is to provide what the search engines want: user-oriented content, common-sense marketing, and design easy for search engine crawlers to navigate.
SEO Consultants Know Search-Engine Friendly Design
SEO Experts know that search engines have some simple requirements, and they can help your web site meet those requirements. Here are some of the areas where SEO Consultants will help you maximize your site and increase your sales:
Keep your web page hierarchy simple. Your web pages shouldn’t be more than three or four clicks from your home page. This tells the search engine that your page is important to your content. If your visitor has to click too many times to get to the information, the search engine will assume it’s not really important.
Make your pages easy to navigate. A text-based navigation system not only makes it easier for search engine crawlers to move through your site, it makes it easier for your visitors to find what they need. A simple pyramid structure is best.
Avoid over-using web technologies. Search engines can’t read Flash or Javascript as well as normal content. If your important content is presented using these technologies, the search engines won’t find it. So use them sparingly, and be sure that any links embedded in them are also available through simple text links on the page.
Use unique pages in your web site. SEO Experts know that search engines will only rank one copy of a web page. So duplicate content gains nothing. And since the engines only crawl a sample of page on your site, duplicate content will literally waste the time they spend on your site.
Keep your pages short. Complex menus and Javascript only distract search engine crawlers. If you must use them, make them external to your HTML so the crawler can focus on your content.
To assure your web site gets the attention of search engines and web travelers, hire SEO Consultants to help you achieve the best web site design. These professionals will also help you create information-rich content that attracts targeted traffic to your web site.
Whether you’re improving an existing web site that just doesn’t get the traffic you want or a new web site full of promise, reputable SEO Consultants will ensure you’re getting the most for your time and effort.

Twitter Terrorism?

October 28, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment 

Micro-blogging is IN and it just might do US IN! Micro-blogging is a form of blogging that allows users to write brief text updates (usually 140 characters) and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be chosen by the user. These messages can be submitted by a variety of means, including text messaging, instant messaging, email, MP3 or the web. Do you TWEET?

A recent draft by the US Army intelligence report has identified the popular micro-blogging service Twitter, Global Positioning System maps and voice-changing software as potential terrorist tools. The report by the 304th Military Intelligence Battalion, posted on the website of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), examines a number of mobile and web technologies and their potential uses by militants.

The posting of the report on the FAS site was reported Friday by Wired magazine contributing editor Noah Shachtman on his national security blog “Danger Room” at wired.com. The report is not based on clandestine reporting but drawn from open source intelligence known as OSINT.

A chapter on “Potential for Terrorist Use of Twitter” notes that Twitter members sent out messages, known as “Tweets,” reporting the July Los Angeles earthquake faster than news outlets and activists at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis used it to provide information on police movements. “Twitter has also become a social activism tool for socialists, human rights groups, communists, vegetarians, anarchists, religious communities, atheists, political enthusiasts, hacktivists and others to communicate with each other and to send messages to broader audiences,” the report said.

But don’t worry, unless John McCain is our next president as he doesn’t even own a computer, and doesn’t email, let alone “tweet”.

“Extremist and terrorist use of Twitter could evolve over time to reflect tactics that are already evolving in use by hacktivists and activists for surveillance,” it said. “This could theoretically be combined with targeting.” The report outlined scenarios in which militants could make use of Twitter, combined with such programs as Google Maps or cell phone pictures or video, to carry out an ambush or detonate explosives.

And we thought modern technology was on our side! :-(
