Some great social media platforms to use for promoting your business/website are Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.

There are others and if you're up to it, use them! Build your social media following, use your social media accounts to get the word out about your business and any promotions you're running.

Make sure your social media accounts include your web address in your account profile so people know where to go for more info about your business and where to purchases from you.

By using your social media accounts this way, you'll be increasing traffic to your website which is a powerful signal to the search engines that says your website is relevant.

If you need assistance getting integration setup between your site and the social platforms please feel free to contact us we will assist you! :)

Knowing which keywords and keyword phrases to use is extremely important.

Choosing a single word, like "books", is far too broad and has worldwide appeal. The result is insurmountable amounts of competition. So what does a great keyword phrase look like for you?

A few things can help, but the most important thing is uniqueness and relevance.

Using "books" as an example, you can make the phrase more unique and relevant by providing more details that are important to the people you're trying to reach, for example:

- "Suspense Books for sale in Dallas, Texas" is much better.

- "best suspense books of all time" is another great phrase.

Google, the keyword "books" has nearly 10 billion results, but "best suspense books of all time" has only 2.5 million. Now 2.5 million webpages is a lot to compete against, but it's possible. Beating 10 billion isn't realistic for most websites.

Yes, it's nearly the end of September, but that doesn't mean I can't give you a quick tip for the month. :)

Here it is.... write your text with good descriptive words, but don't over do it.

Avoid stuffing your text with keywords.

For example, you don't want to repeat the keywords in every sentence or worse, use the same keywords multiple times in the same sentence. That can backfire and work against you.

Search engines are savvy to gratuitously repetitive words in content and often think if it as poor quality.

Pages written like that can struggle to be found in search results.

The bottom line is: your site visitors want to shop, and they need to easily find products you're selling and have a simple way to complete purchases using their smartphones.

Another important area is the rapid change from regular notebooks to 2-1 style mobile computers.

Visit a Best Buy and you'll see. These pc's have touchscreens and can be used as tablets and laptops.

The screens flip over so that the screen is in a position that allow you to easily interact with the touchscreen. Some screens will detach from the keyboard. They come in a variety of screen sizes, too.

The truth is, more people still own PCs and laptops, but today roughly 80% of them now also have a smartphone and almost 50% have a tablet. They spend more time on their smartphones and if they're like me, they're shopping using their smartphones. I'm looking for the best deal, more information about a product, and I look for warranty info. It's not always about price, it's about value. This poses another challenge for business websites, having a website that works for a range of devices and screen sizes.

The solution I like most is a well designed Responsive Website Design.

This type of website design offers a mobile-friendly experience and it adjusts to a wide range of screen sizes. Your website will work better for more people, it'll conform to Google's best practices and it'll be best positioned for the future.

If your website isn't mobile friendly yet, you need to get in touch with Websiteforge and ask them about this design upgrade. This is a great time to revisit your website's overall look and feel, too. A fresh new look can also improve conversions, increasing your revenues. ‪#‎increaserevenues‬ ‪#‎responsivedesign‬
