Virtually Canadian’s activity: March Report

Search engine optimization

Starting today, once a month, I will let you know who are our most recent clients and what we have done for them. To begin with, let’s talk about Search Engine Optimization. As you know, SEO is operating some changes on a website to make it search engine friendly. Because search engines’ algorithms evolve continuously, it’s relatively important to promote his website with SEO, in order to improve traffic to his website on a long term basis.

So, last month, we launched  some freshly optimized websites;  5 of them were ready to go live:

Social Media:

Social Media tools such as Blogs, Facebook Pages, Twitter accounts, and so on are very good to complete the search engine optimization job. Blogs in particular are really useful to increase your presence on the Net, knowing that each post adds a new page to your domain. Last month, we launched 3 different blogs.

Terra Flowers Bouquet

- www.alohapualani.com/blog : This Hotel boutique in Hawaii is probably my next destination to soak up the sun!

- www.terraflowers.com/blog/ : If you’re looking for plants and tips to take care of them, go visit that blog!

- www.riverinnhotel.com/blog/ : River Inn Hotel, formerly named the Ramada Portsmouth, is the place to stay in Ohio, especially for the Rock & Roll House Party (April 17th)

Finally, driving traffic to your website can be realized thanks to Facebook or Twitter, among lots of other social media tools. Here are the 2 Facebook Fan Pages and the 2 Twitter Accounts we created in March 2010:

- Garibaldi Veterinary Hospital Facebook Page : Check out their Monthly Focus, their “missing pet & adopt a pet” sections.

- River Inn Hotel Facebook Page : This Facebook Page is also accessible through the blog (link above)

- River Inn Hotel (Twitter account): Yes, they asked us for the whole package! Now you HAVE to go to Portsmouth to swim in their beautiful indoor pool.

Is it efficient to be in the YellowPages?

In order to be listed in the Yellow Pages, you will need to pay a monthly fee. Depending on that amount, you will be listed higher or lower in the  rankings for specific activities and area. ( Pretty much like Search Engine Optimization works…)

Well, here is a dentist’s report. He pays around $800 per month.

For example, in September, he got 21 clicks, meaning a $38 per click!!

Worst in November, with 8 clicks, it’s $100 per click!!!

With Virtually Canadian and Search Engine Optimization, our prices start at $250 per month, with a great improvement of the traffic on your website.

I let you think about it…

The end of footer links?

Footer links were and still are pretty popular when come times of search engine optimization. It gives more options to the search engines to find other pages, and to the users to navigate more easily. Well, that’s pretty much what a XML and HTML sitemap is for.

So do we still need footer links? It seems that their popularity downhill pretty fast.

Here is a really good article explaining why.

I agree on most points – my only concern would be about the CTR. Sure those footer links don’t grab a lot of attention. Not that many people use them. But that’s my point, some people still do so do we want to take them away from them and force them to change their habit? They might.

Now are those footer links worth our time? That’s a question I will let each designer consider for themselves.
