Posted by Pace Solutions

SEO and Branding: Which Is More Important?

Posted by Pace Solutions

It’s not often you’ll hear SEO experts admit that Search Engine Optimization is of less than central importance to a site. Partly this comes from the tendency for businesses to completely ignore their SEO. Partly it comes from the intense focus the SEO industry has. It is true, however, that SEO shouldn’t be the first and last thing you consider for your site.

In truth, search engine optimization can both be assisted by and assist other aspects of your site’s marketing. If done well, search engine optimization should have a positive effect on your site well beyond the search engines. To have this affect, though, optimization has to look beyond the basic optimization techniques. A good SEO company won’t just stick Keywords all over your pages and consider the job done. Good SEO involves tactics that improve the site overall. You can talk to us about this at SEO Consult. One of the things that should be considered is your business branding.

The origins of brands

Branding has been the traditional realm of the marketer, and the move online hasn’t changed anything. Businesses still go to their marketing departments for their brand ideas, and approach SEO experts only when the marketing side has been sorted out. Some separation between SEO and regular marketing is only natural, but SEO shouldn’t be left out of the loop entirely. The choices you make for your brand have a big affect on your SEO and, more importantly, your SEO could have a big effect on your brand.

Find the balance

Just as your site and SEO cannot operate in isolation from each other, it’s not wise for your brand and your SEO to be completely separate. It’s a mistake to allow your brand to be the central guiding factor of your SEO, but it’s a mistake to go in the opposite extreme as well. If incorporated properly, your SEO and your existing brand presence can work together to promote each other. In areas where your brand is already known, tying it to your SEO can boost site rankings. In areas where off-page SEO is being used to promote inbound links, your brand can also be mentioned.

Brands in the future

Branding may well take on greater importance in coming years. In late 2008, Google CEO Eric Schmidt warned the publishing industry that without proper efforts in branding at that stage, their news services could take dive-bomb in future Rankings. The reason, Schmidt said, was that the internet is increasingly starting to resemble a ‘cesspit’ of information. Branding may well be the only way to identify reliable information in the future, if only because it automatically attributes a source for the information which can be tracked down.

Brands already play an important part in modern culture. Market studies have consistently shown that people will pay more for a brand, and in the case of information, will pay for a brand when they can get the generic version for free. Basically, a well-established brand can sell itself. Allow your SEO to help your brand.

Drupal OR Joomla – Which is precise For You?

Posted by Pace Solutions

Well, the www. is replete with Drupal Vs Joomla sorta stuff and most of them conclude that one must pick the CMS that can serve one’s needs best. Most of these comparisons don’t provide any guidance on how users can pick the one according to their needs.

If you want to create your own website or blog and don’t have any previous experience of creating a website or managing its content, you will prefer a system that is simple and easy to use and with least technicalities involved. But how would you pick what can serve your purpose best? It’s true that you must determine your needs first to pick the right software package for your website, but how can you pick them without knowing their pros and cons.

Joomla Vs WordPress Vs Drupal: The Real Differences

Posted by Pace Solutions

When it comes to their differences, these are quite prominent in front of the general mass over the World Wide Web. All you need to do is pay a close attention to their real and clear-cut differences so that you may be able to distinguish them properly. Let’s discuss Joomla, WordPress, and Drupal differences step-by-step:

Joomla

joomla_vert_colour

joomla website design

When it comes to Joomla, it provides you a platform to efficiently publish and display the optimized website content over the World Wide Web. More importantly, it has plenty of unique features and elements for example:

  • Caching
  • RSS feeds
  • Printable web pages
  • News flashes
  • Blogs Polls
  • Search
  • Language internationalization support

It is designer plus developer friendly because it presents a wider and extensive platform for developers to customize and bring in new features in the system and the potential to get better the look and feel of the custom website is absolutely broadly accepted by designers worldwide. Moreover, it is capable of handling a colossal group of people and has been in proper use since 2008 and 2009.

But the fact of the matter is that Joomla still needs a lot of improvement as well as improvisation when it comes to comparison with WordPress and Drupal. It is not XHTML based and absolutely lacks the option to create multisite.

WordPress

There is no denying that WordPress is the most efficient and useful content management system (CMS) worldwide. Therefore it would regularly support you when it comes to blogging and publishing your website content. Interestingly it is being regularly used by almost 202 millions websites these days. It has plenty of unique and versatile features for instance

  • Widgets that can be approved without editing the HTML
  • Search engine friendly
  • Multiple categories to a blog post
  • Allows tagging of blog postings and articles

Although it has many blogging options and profiles but it is not as much effective content management system (CMS) as the others are. Moreover it is not a Developer friendly content management system and it just brings more and more bugs with its new upgrades. But the best advantage of using WordPress CMS is that it is very trouble free to use.

Drupal

As far as Drupal CMS is concerned, it is a back end system used for managing a range of corporate websites worldwide. Besides, Drupal can be efficiently used for managing both small business websitesas well as large business websites globally. It has plenty of features and elements for instance:

  • Registering and Maintaining user accounts
  • Creating and Handling menus
  • RSS feeds
  • Customization of a layout
  • Internet Forum
  • Single or multi User blog
  • Powerful template system

The amazing thing about Drupal content management system is that it is every developer’s heaven worldwide. But when it comes to Drupal’s drawbacks, it is not as much user friendly CMS as the other systems are. But this is the fact most renowned websites are nowadays making use of Drupal for effective and dynamic content management for example, MTV UK, BBC, the Onion, Greenpeace UK and so on.

Acquia tries to mainstream Drupal with Drupal Gardens

Posted by Pace Solutions

Acquia announced recently they were releasing a new tool called Drupal Gardens that makes it easier to create websites using the popular open source Drupal platform. In a recent blog post Acquia VP of Marketing, Lynne Capozzi wrote about how, rightly or wrongly, some people are intimidated by the idea of building a website using a tool like Drupal.

It’s great for the power users who can build an understanding of how site building in Drupal works, but Drupal Gardens puts this in the hands of less technical end users. It provides an easy path to creating the site, then choosing a theme (either provided or one you create on your own), color schemes, fonts and so forth.

Of course, you can control all of these elements in the Drupal design process regardless of whether you are using a front-end tool or not, but Drupal Gardens makes it relatively easy to build sites and choose site elements within a framework. Acquia believes giving users this flexibility will make it more likely that companies will choose Drupal.

Capozzi says that it will also help companies build marketing campaigns much more quickly:

“There are so many applications of Drupal Gardens I’m anxious to see incorporated into marketing campaigns, but one I believe will really excite my fellow marketers is the ability to quickly and easily create slick, feature-rich microsites for a campaign. Marketers are focused on building targeted audiences and social communities and so many of them see microsites as the primary launching pad for brand and loyalty building.”

We will see how well this tool works for this purpose, but it does clearly put Drupal Site Design within reach of a much broader set of users. The product is currently in private beta.

How Does Social Media Networking Draw SEO Traffic?

Posted by Pace Solutions

Social media marketing, which is the use of social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and MySpace to draw traffic to a website, is definitely on the rise. It is predicted that in the next five years, spending on social media marketing will rise as much as 21% for the average company. If you’re not already into social media, you may very well question how internet chatter could be so valuable for your company.

The real value of social media marketing comes from its grounding in community. Just as in the non-cyber world word-of-mouth recommendations can be more effective in drawing customers than expensive ad campaigns; the chatter on social media networks is effective in drawing traffic because it comes from genuine person-to-person (cyber) contact.

The key word here is ‘genuine’. The users of social media networks tend to be highly marketing-savvy and fakery doesn’t go very far within social media sites. In the early stages of social media marketing, some companies made the mistake of attempting to draw viewers to their site in much the same way they would with any other Marketing Campaign, using brand names and well-rehearsed wording for all their Content. The result was that the companies were shunned within the social media networks.

The way that social media networks are set up must be taken into account within your approach. Within these sites, people aim to engage with each other on a human level. It is not for no reason that many of these sites have a ‘village’ feel, either in their branding or design. In this kind of environment, companies that present their usual marketing jargon get the same kind of reception as a door-to-door salesperson usually gets on a sophisticated city block. When you approach a Social Media Network, it’s best to be yourself and engage with the community naturally, as well as professionally.

Using social media marketing can draw traffic to your site in a number of ways. The first is through inbound links coming from these sites. A good campaign can result in thousands of quality new inbound links for your site. Not only do these links bring in their own traffic, they influence your site’s rankings and can give you a real boost.

Another way is through the social media site’s own ranking. If you’re participating in a popular social media site (and, let’s face it, participation in an unpopular one defeats your purpose) your Keywords and your business name will feature in a highly-ranked site. This can be great when you want to maintain control of the top ten on a search engine results page.

Even better, using a plugin from a social media site can ensure your main site is supplied with continuous fresh content. Recent changes to Twitter plugins are a great example of this, updating your site with fresh content every time you micro-blog on Twitter. This is great value for using the fastest growing large website in the UK.

The best kind of reception your social media marketing campaign can have is to generate natural links to your site. You may have the opportunity to create reciprocated links. These aren’t quite as valuable for your purposes.

As more and more companies come to realise how valuable social media marketing is, working social media into your Search Engine Optimisation campaign becomes vital.
