Comet stores close their doors for the last time on Tuesday 18/12/2012

/in /by

Signs that even the large companies are facing problems as Comet stores close their doors for the last time on Tuesday 18/12/2012. Comet had nearly 236 stores in total which has been a credit to the company since its opening in 1933.

The administrators Deloitte have said that unsecured creditors would be aiming to get back only 1% of the money owed to them following the chains collapse. It has been said to cost around 23 million pounds of government money in redundancy payments.

Comet was a 236 store business, which had employed around 7,000 people. Comet started life in Hull selling batteries and radios in 1933.

Comet is the latest in a line of high street store closures which included the Woolworths chain. With the high street struggling, it is now more important than ever to ensure that your business has an online presence. Creating and maintaining a website costs a lot less than paying rent and rates for a business premesis and can be equally as advantageous in terms of profit.

The secret to online success is visibility; people will buy from your ecommerce website if it is attractive, appropriately priced and easy to find. The most common way that websites are found is by using search engines such as Google. Of course, with millions of websites all vying for top rankings in search engine results, competition is high. This is why your online business is in need of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) to ensure that it reaches those all-important top rankings. With these, it can be as successful, or perhaps even more successful than any high-street store.

PageRank Drop – Why?

/in , , , /by

The Google toolbar can be used to see the rank that Google gives a website. Google update this information about 3 or 4 times a year.

Matt Cutts explains the reason for this is that people get hung up on page rank and the goal is to make people focus on making websites better in terms of content.

How can you identify the cause of a page rank drop?

If an external link was adding power and has now been dropped then this will cause this. Or if you have changed the internal linking structure of your website then this will also have an effect.

Page ranking dropping by 30% is often due to breaking guidelines and this becomes detected and then this power will be removed. Remove the paid links and then ask Google to check and then the page rank will return.

Cheap SEO

/in , , /by

Many SEO companies advertise ‘cheap SEO’ to try and entice customers who potentially have a small budget for SEO, or do not want to spend a lot on this service altogether, or wish to try the service before they commit their full budget to it. Whatever the reason why cheap SEO may seem like a good option, please be warned that it is not!

The truth is that cheap SEO companies use strategies which can irreversibly damage your website’s reputation and standing within Google. This is because they often use quick-fix black hat SEO techniques to show positive results immediately which are not ethical or sustainable in the long term. This means that they will damage your search engine rankings.

Cheap Search Engine Optimisation – SEO

A common cheap SEO technique is to purchase links to your website to make it appear reliable and popular; each link acts as an endorsement of your site. However, in practise link building is a time consuming process and so purchasing and having 500 links built to your site in a day is unrealistic and unnatural; Google penalises this activity by dropping the websites ranking position or removing them from the index altogether. Once these links are built, it is very difficult to get them removed as the owner of each linked site has to be contacted and asked to remove the link; not every website owner will be contactable and some may refuse to remove the links, meaning that damage is permanently done to your site.

Similarly, link farms are often used by cheap SEO companies which further damage your link profile. This is because the links created through these farms are often not related to your business sector and have no relevance, thus devaluing the power of the links.

In SEO, as in life, you get what you pay for. Cheap SEO is not worth taking a gamble on; if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Look for an SEO company with reasonable prices and an established reputation; this research could be the difference between online success and failure.
