Do you know that Google is currently the biggest website online, and also the biggest search engine in the world? Google also happens to be sending the highest number of visitors to most websites online, and the reason for that is very simple; when people need solutions to their problems, they go to Google.There are two ways you can get traffic from the Google search engine. The first way is by constantly writing quality content that will hopefully get noticed in a few years time, and the other way is by actively taking measures to optimize your site and make sure it is in the right frame to rank well in the search engines. The second approach is the one I use for my yahoo small business coupon and midphase coupon blog, and this approach has been quite effective for me in the past, and is still bringing me great results.The problem, however, is that there are things you should (and should not) do to help you get better rankings in the search engines, and in this article I will be giving you some reasons why your site isn?t ranking well.Lots of Flash and Javascript ContentOne major reason why most websites can?t rank well in the search engines is because they use a lot of flash and Javascript content to communicate with their readers. I?m not trying to say flash or Javascript isn?t good; instead, it isn?t that friendly to the search engine bots as they can?t crawl it. If you love to communicate to your readers via videos, then you can increase your chances of success by ensuring the post has the right title, description and tags. That way, the search engines will recognize and rank it in the right position.It is Taking too Long to LoadAnother major reason why your site might not be ranking well in the search engines is that it is taking too long to load. More than ever, search engines are now starting to place more emphasis on having fast loading sites, and as a result it will be very difficult for irritably slow sites to rank well in the search engines.You can increase your chances of ranking well for your desired keywords in the search engines by optimizing your site and working on ensuring it loads faster for all users.Poor Site Structure and Lack of Quality ContentOne thing that might affect your site a lot and cost you some rankings is your site structure. Just try to take a look at your site structure and ask yourself if it is user-friendly or if it is unorganized. A good user-friendly site is also search engine friendly, due to the fact that links are all organized in one place and are easy to find, and also because the quality of the content regularly published is superb.The structure of your website is very important, and the quality of your content should be second to none, so make sure you work hard on improving these aspects of your blog.John loves to help people with SEO and webhosting.

Think that enterprise-grade website security and a high-speed is only for the "big guys"? Think again
Through a simple DNS settings change and a process that takes less than 60 seconds, your website traffic can be seamlessly routed through Incapsula?s global network of high-powered servers. The result- incoming traffic is intelligently profiled, in real-time, blocking even the latest web threats from sophisticated SQL injection attacks to malicious bots and intruding comment spammers. Meanwhile, outgoing traffic is accelerated and optimized for faster load times, keeping welcome visitors speeding through. You get the best of both worlds!
If it sounds like some other services you know, dig a bit deeper and you'll see otherwise. With an impressive pedigree (Incapsula is a spin-off of Imperva, a security leader in and of itself) and an extensive knowledge of developing Internet and Data security solutions, for tier-one companies and organizations, Incapsula is able to provide top performance and security to any website, regardless of size, at a fraction of the cost of traditional firewalls.
?
While you'd think that running your traffic through the Incapsula servers would slow down your site, Incapsula does the contrary. By caching and optimizing your content and delivering it directly from the Internet?s backbone, Incapsula claims that on average, any site will load 40% faster and consume 50% less bandwidth.
Incapsula offers a paid version for commercial sites with PCI compliance, and have just come out with a free version for smaller or personal sites.
My Verdict
I say- give it a try. If you look for a solution that can free up your time, let you concentrate on your true business and make your website work for you, Incapsula seems like the way to go.
And? It's always nice to find a service that gives the big guys a healthy fight.

If?you've?ever seen a really good online presentation, you?ll have noticed how everything looks seamless. Nothing out of place, everything clear and well laid out with no wastage or patchy bits. It looks like magic, but it?s actually good organization and pre-production at work, creating a very thorough presentation that has literally everything locked down. As a matter of fact, what you?re seeing is a form of condensed ?SEO for audiences?. It?s one of the most effective forms of marketing, and it?s also why some people can make a living as presenters.Mapping out your presentationThere?s another element in presentation that doesn?t get much attention- Thinking. A good presentation provides information and answers questions. To do that effectively, the presenters put a lot of thought into mapping out the information the audience needs. This is a natural quality control, including the important points and critically excluding the unnecessary materials. There?s a bit too much emphasis on structuring presentation as if it was a sales pitch. That can backfire, and it often also crowds out useful information the audience actually needs to make a decision. Good information is a sales pitch. You really can?t improve on it, and many gaps in information just generate skepticism and questions. The audience isn?t getting what it needs, by definition.Presentation production basicsOnline presentations aren?t the same thing as in person presentations. There?s usually no direct line of questioning for the viewers, so everything has to be contained in the presentationThese presentations must follow a clear logical thread:- Orientation and introduction- The storyline synopsis
- The narrative of the subject- All hard facts, using text, graphics and progressing the information systematically as a history
- The current unique and interesting information- The stand out features, using graphics, charts, text and verbal information.
- Close- The references and handouts or links are critically important to establish a knowledge base to back up the presentation.
Graphics and visualsGraphics must be more than just eye candy for the viewers. More really isn?t better, in this case. Diagrams, charts and other materials must be spaced to give the viewer a chance to absorb and understand information, not merely get buried in it and be left trying to mentally catch up. Content qualityThe key is content quality. Good presentations are interesting. They engage the viewers. The presentation structure is also a good quality controller, keeping the content focused and relevant. This is a built-in ?editor?, and it?s a very reliable way of making sure you don?t go off topic or over-emphasize some points and skim over others. Getting interest is one thing, keeping it is another. Quality control will find the substandard stuff very effectively. The ?trick? is really applied, honest self-criticism. - What?s the best content in the presentation?
- What information makes you certain you?re really learning something?
- What keeps you interested?
Compare what you know is good to the materials you?re not sure about. The rest is easy, and the presentation really builds itself. by Nick Throlson | Feb 9, 2011 | Web Design
