time to tidy-up and update those websites!

Every once in awhile it's smart to give your website the once over and make sure that everything is accurate for the search engines. The search engines are looking at areas of your website that don't appear to you or your visitors, BUT it is very important that we don't forget about them and let them get outdated and inaccurate.

A website is technically never "finished", its constantly in a state of "construction"...it has to be to remain current for your visitors.

Now is a great time to make sure your website is up to date(before the busy holiday season gets here and things get too hectic).

I would recommend that we update and tidy-up the following items on your website.

  • Title tags on individual pages correct and up to date.
  • Alt tags(text that appears when you hover over a picture) in place and correct.
  • Correct page description in META tag.
  • Update all keywords in META tags.
  • Submission(manual/after updated) to Google, Yahoo, Scrubtheweb, WhatYouSeek, Jayde
Drop an email if you are interested in the SE Opt/Sub, and we can get started pronto!

Has someone copied your website or information??

I know I didn't think anyone would copy information from one of my websites, but they did and quite blatantly I might add. So, to cure your curiosity, stop by this website and punch in your web address... http://www.copyscape.com
Hopefully you don't get any results, but if you do, let me know and I will pass along the process that seemed to work for me.

Have fun!

slowly but surely!

It has taken me awhile to get things rolling with the lagonfly design website, but I came out with some free time and the desire to create/play today...so I can say I made some improvements and have gotten some items accomplished...yea! At this rate....oh about a year or two from now it should be complete! (let's hope it doesn't take that long!) Anyway, I would love some feedback if you have some...if not...a "hello" will do.
