Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

Let our search engine optimization (SEO) experts turn your website into an active lead source for your business. Our approach to search engine optimization is purely organic. SEO is a process that requires extensive research and proper execution, which is why your strategy for search engine optimization is key. We can help.

Our approach to SEO is unique compared to our competitors; we believe that proper SEO is achieved by producing a machine-readable site without sacrificing design and usability. Many SEO companies will target search engines and ignore the human aspect. We maintain usability and design while making it easy for search engines to evaluate your website. This ensures that your site will not only rank well, but maintain its ability to communicate your message to the human visitor.

Finding the right keywords for your site is crucial for developing natural traffic. Every site is different and therefore should be targeting a different keyword audience. Our in-house professionals use advanced tools and research to find the highest traffic phrases that accurately align with your website.

Once we identify keywords and phrases that accurately represent your business and command high search indexes, the next stop is optimizing for these keywords. During keyword placement, the chosen keywords are injected into your content. Don’t worry – this process is painless and never sacrifices usability for human audiences. Our focus is on the following areas of a site:

  • Page Title
  • Meta-Description
  • URL Path
  • Page Headers
  • Paragraph Content

Often sites are produced without SEO in mind. This isn’t always a bad thing as most SEO strategies can be executed in a post-production phase. Our technical optimization includes but is not limited to:

  • Creating sitemaps for search engines
  • Adjusting headers to include keyword content
  • Tagging images to describe them to non-human visitors
  • Improving linking within the website
  • Identifying pages that we want to exclude from search results

Links from other websites are an important aspect of getting your site to rank well. Our professionals understand the difference between positive and negative links, and will only develop proper back links to your website.

How easy is it to transfer a website?

Sunday, July 24th, 2011

For many see moving their website to a new web host is a daunting and unnecessary task, but a high percentage of orders Web Wizard receives are transfers of existing domains. This means there must be a reason for people choose to take on this challenge and maybe it’s because it’s not actually that hard to do!

If you are unhappy with your current host, maybe you are experiencing high downtime, are limited on your disk space or are simply paying too much per month, you need to decide on a new host, then the real fun of moving your content begins.

Firstly you need to make a backup of your MySQL Databases and save them somewhere safe on your computer. Login to your new control panel where you can then restore your files. If you are transferring to Web Wizard your control panel will be cPanel and you can restore your databases by using the Backup feature in the Site Management menu.

Next comes the moving of your files which can be done with the help of a third party software such as FileZilla which allows you to download a complete backup of your files. To then access these files you must create an FTP account in your new account which you can do in the FTP Manager Menu in cPanel. This will give you complete access to your files allowing you to upload them to your new server.

When you sign up with your new host they should provide you with an IP address which acts as an alternative to your domain name. Through this IP you can check that your website is showing correctly before you make the transfer complete by asking your registrar to change your nameservers. You should allow 24 hours for the nameservers to propagate. All that is then left is to cancel your old hosting, doesn’t sound too bad does it? If you are considering moving to Web Wizard don’t forget to take full advantage of our web hosting and dedicated support team available 24/7 at support[at]webwizard-lk.com.
