Building Site Navigation to Make Your Visitors Happy

A key aspect to make your visitors happy is insuring they go where they need to go, quickly and efficiently. Site Navigation structure needs to be visible to the search engines. Some page components are simply invisible to search engines.

For instance, a website navigation structure created with JavaScript won’t work for the search engines. If the only way to navigate your Web site is with the JavaScript navigation, you have a problem. The only pages the search engines will find are the ones with links pointing to them from other Web sites (Inbound links); the search engines won’t be able to find their way around your site.

Few tips for effective website navigation:

* If you use JavaScript navigation, or some other technique that is invisible, make sure that you have a plain HTML navigation system, too, such as basic text links at the bottom of your pages.

* Even if your navigation structure is visible to search engines, you may want to have these bottom-of-page links as well. They’re convenient for site visitors and provide another chance for the search engines to find your other pages. Yet another reason for bottom-of-page, basic text navigation: If you have some kind of image-button navigation, you don’t have any keywords in the navigation for the search engines to read.

* Add a Sitemap page and link to it from your main navigation. It provides another way for search engines to find all your pages.

* Whenever possible, provide keywords in text links as part of the navigation structure.

It is also very important that your website navigation should be user friendly. Make sure that the visitor knows at all times what section they are visiting and can reach any section easily.

Web Site Public Relations: How Corporations Build And Maintain Relatio $117.91 Web sites have emerged as a massively popular and important tool in public relations, marketing, organizational communication, political campaigns, and a host of other fields. However, only a tiny percentage of Web site research reflects the latest thinking in research and practice. The result of using these old approaches has been that research on homepages has been largely unable to address the most central question in all modern marketing and public relations research and practice: How can organizations can build and maintain relationships with their publics/customers? This relational focus has characterized marketing research and practice since at least the early 1980s and public relations since the late 1980s, yet Web page design and use has, on the whole, failed to adopt it. Web Site Public Relations steps in to fill this void and help move Web site research and use toward a more professional and theoretic foundation. This book is an original and rigorous attempt to build a model of the experience of visiting Web sites that places the visitor-rather than the sponsor or Web page-at the center of the experience. Although it is one of the first such attempts, this book’s rigor, theoretic foundation, and genuine insightfulness suggest that it will stand the test of time and may well become one of the most influential works in visitor-centered research on Web sites and the Internet. As such, the findings reported here will be of interest to those who use the Internet, whether for personal or commercial purposes; as well as those seeking to study the social and behavioral effects of the Internet, including those seeking to study its effects on children and adolescents. This study focuses attention on the cognitions, attitudes, and behaviors visitors exhibit while visiting Web sites. The advent of what has come to be called Web 2.0 makes this book even more important than it would have been when older Web technologies dominated because Web 2.0 includes such th@]z=p£×ÿ¾Úð

In today’s technologically driven society just about anyone can build a website but not everyone can build a website that works. The reality is that while there are many affordable tools and services available, there is a large number of website that are just sitting on the shelf collecting dust. Just because you can build a website doesn’t mean that the world is going to beat a path to your site. Understand that your website is like a needle in a haystack. How will you drive traffic to your website?

You can drive traffic to your website through various marketing method such as Paid Per Click (PPC), Banner Ads, etc… The problem with most online marketing is that they can be very expensive. When you are operating on a shoestring budget it is essential that you build a website that is optimize for the search engines. You can save a lot of advertising dollars by ensuring that all your web pages have quality keywords. Keywords are words or phrases that the world uses to find what they are looking for in the haystack (World Wide Web).

Getting the world to view your web pages may not be important to you. Great! All you need to do is find a reputable hosting company, register a domain name, singed up for an account, build your site, and then publish it. Note that publish it does not mean that your website will be viewable to the world (remember the needle in the haystack). Yes, building a simple website is that easy. Just make sure you find a hosting company that offers domain name (your website name) registration, hosting, and site builder tools.

Some site builder tools require a steep learning curve. If you are not HTML (Hyper Tex Mark Up Language) savvy look for site builder tool that used the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) method to create your pages.

To build a website that works require some upfront planning. After deciding what niche you want to pursue, you will need to come up with a name for your website, build a keyword list, register your website name, signed up with a hosting company, and submit your website to the search engines. All of this can end up costing you quite a bit. Although there are many hosting companies out there touting free this and free that, my experiences with these types of company are generally poor.

The average registration fee at Go Daddy is about $8.99/year for each domain name. Some company will offer a site builder for free others may charge you for that feature. Expect to pay approximately $97 if you use Go Daddy. Hostings are generally sold on terms bases. The longer the term the less you can expect to pay. Go Daddy charges about $76 for 12 month. So between your domain registration, hosting and the site builder tool you are looking at roughly $182. You will still need to find a keyword tool. Google has a free tool you can use. I prefer to use Word Tracker, which is a monthly subscription program. Finally, you might want to use a simple photo editing software such as Photoshop Element or Paint Shop Pro.

In summary, building a Website That Work is going to cost you. However, you have control over how much it cost you financial and emotionally. All you have to do is figure out exactly what you want the website to do, identify the resources that you will need, establish a budget, then go build your site. It is that simple!
