When thinking about the title of a website, there has been a bit of debate about whether it is necessary to have the business or website name included. If the brand name should be present, where should it appear?
After attending the Think Visibility conference in Leeds last weekend, I sat through a fantastic usability talk by Fiona Thomson that made me think about the importance of branding within titles.
I’ve had an account on Yahoo Meme for roughly a week now, so I thought I’d add my thoughts on what it’s like. At first it seemed quite interesting; “the ability to post images, videos and longer messages, this really could be a rival to Twitter” – right? Wrong. The initial comparisons I’ve read do seem to suggest Meme has been launched as a rival to Twitter, but in fact it is more like MySpace.
A newly found ‘hack’ is doing it’s rounds on blogs, forums and social networking websites today. The trick involves altering the URL slightly on a Google search to retrieve so-called “real-time” results. You can tailor the results to be to a specific time frame, but is it really real-time?
I’m now back in work after a great weekend which involved travelling up to Leeds for the Think Visibility conference. It was a great venue (albeit a little tempting being in a casino!), there were some fantastic speakers and it was good to finally meet some people I had spoken to online over the last few months. I just thought I’d do a quick roundup of each of the talks I attended while I was there.
OK it may be a bit of a blanket statement, but it seems a lot of web designers are trying their hand at SEO, and doing it badly. Many tips on the Internet encourage web designers to begin the optimisation process from the ground up, and this can be a great process… if done correctly. I’ve decided to list a couple of SEO techniques that I’ve come across over the last few months. These techniques have been implemented by web designers as part of a search engine optimisation service on client websites.
