How many of you have had the experience of having a website built for you by a “friend” who did you a favor and saved you money by not having to go to a professional web developer? I will admit I am guilty. While the first attempt at my website was a dismal failure, it looked somewhat crude and amateurish. That was about five years ago. I then moved on to a semiprofessional web designer [self schooled] who also worked on my site. I did not pay very much for my new site and, oh boy, it looked like a bargain basement website. Awful! Did I learn my lesson? Two years later I found someone new who promised not to break by piggybank. They asked me a lot of questions about text and keywords and things that I did not quite understand. They suggested that I check out another websites to model my website after. That did not work either because I did not know that a website should be a whole lot more than simply pretty. I resisted the advice I was given to blog frequently. What a mistake that was. To make a long story short I ended up using five different web designers and spending way too much money than if I had started off with a professional from the beginning. I would have understood that keywords, SEO, and what is (in it for the visitor) is the most important aspect of a successfully functioning website.
The good news in this fiasco, is that knowledge of what your website needs to be and how it needs to function is finally available to the new kid on the block. My guest today has made it so simple to understand that I almost find it embarrassing admitting to all my previous mistakes. Well there is no use crying over spilt milk or feeling badly about the past or should have, could have, would have scenarios. I am just grateful there are people like Dagmar Gatell willing to help educate others just like me.
Yes, there are so many of us who need guidance and a mentor.
The bottom line is time and money, so why waste it ? How much is your time worth to you? If you are a marketer of products, whether they are your own or not, and you are using the Internet as your main networking tool, you need to understand SEO, which is an acronym for Search Engine Optimization. Google is the largest and most powerful search engine in the world. Think of it as a gigantic robot that is constantly combing the web for information. One might ask, “What kind of information is Google looking for”? Google looks for material that pertains to popular searches by average people all over the world. As an example, if you searched for information regarding soccer, one of the most popular sports in the world, you would find that there are 980 million search results reported on Google every 0.42 seconds. Get the picture? Before you go rushing off to fill the text on your blog posts and website with popular search topics understand the do’s and don’ts. My advice, find a great teacher and learn the right way as soon as possible.
