Is SEO Just Quality Control By Another Name? (2)

Charles — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:54:24 +0000

Now the META DESCRIPTION. The W3C describes META data thus:
‘HTML lets authors specify meta data – information about a document rather than document content – in a variety of ways.’
So using H1, H2 tags and so on is easily creating a logical breakdown of a page and its contents, not really SEO, just quality control. Websites always neglect these fundamental elements in support of bells and whistles. Not really SEO services, just quality control.
Finally the on page tagging. The W3C describes headings thus:
‘A heading element briefly describes the topic of the section it introduces. Heading information may be used by user agents, for example, to construct a table of contents for a document automatically.’
So using H1, H2 tags etc is simply creating a logical breakdown of a page and its contents, not really SEO, just quality control.
Websites often ignore these basic elements in favour of bells and whistles. In short they have no quality control intrinsically built in during the build phase leaving the SEO, I mean quality control inspector, to pick up the pieces.
You can stretch this point further. Links, the much abused life blood of a page’s performance, exist to let other people know about useful resources and if page A links to page B it implies trust and effectively a vote of confidence. Of course, links are abused and must be on Google’s radar for algorithm updates. That aside securing links ethically is simply part and parcel of owning and running a website, it’s not specifically an SEO Melbourne activity as every website owner should surely be looking to establish their site as a trusted source of information and links supply that trust.
Anyway, that’s enough for now. It’s just a point of view but when you think about it you wouldn’t call a mechanic a car Search Engine Optimizationer just because be puts oil and water in the respective orifices. Putting oil and water in is a given just as constructing a web page correctly should be.

Is SEO Just Quality Control By Another Name? (1)

Charles — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:54:20 +0000

When an SEO service is brought into the fray to help a company get more bang for its web buck it’s often the simple things that have the greatest impact. Knocking the title elements into shape, creating human readable URL’s, writing concise page descriptions, sorting out the on page tagging and not least writing great content.

However, describing these activities as Search Engine Optimization suggests some amount of search engine Optimization when in fact all the SEO Melbourne is doing is website quality control. To make the point lets look at some common so called SEO activities and how the W3C suggests these page elements are used correctly.

First the TITLE element. The W3C describes the TITLE element thus:
When an SEO service is brought into the fray to assist a company to get more bang for its web buck. Since users often consult documents out of context, authors should provide context-rich titles. Thus, instead of a title such as “Introduction”, which doesn’t provide much contextual background, authors should supply a title such as “Introduction to Medieval Bee-Keeping” instead.’

So, by writing TITLE elements that use keywords from the content and describe the content all the web page author is doing is using the TITLE element in the way it was designed to be used. Nothing more, nothing less. Sorting the TITLE elements isn’t an SEO activity, it’s just quality control.

Next the URL. The W3C suggests the following for a URL structure.

‘URLs typically consist of three pieces:

1. The name of the protocol used to transfer the resource over the Web.

2. The name of the machine hosting the resource.

3. The name of the resource itself, given as a path.’

So, HTTP – the name of the protocol. http://www.yourdomain.com – the name of the machine hosting the resource and /widgets – the name of the resource itself. Not so much SEO as simply quality control.

Iphone Apps

Charles — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:55:48 +0000

These apps are just some of best apps out there that can be found on the iPhoner. Some of them are really very useful indeed whereas the others are just plain strange.

AroundMe

This is something that all iPhone users should have as it allows you to see things nearby that may be a use to you. It can show you anything from nearby hotels to a hospital which of course is something that could be life saving in a troublesome situation. On top of this it can show you leisure facilities like movie theatres and restaurants and bars.

Fake Call

This is good for any boring conversation or meeting you find yourself in as it will look like you are actually in a call. The only thing that you need to do with this is set it up and it will call your mobile on your request via your mobile meaning it does not spend up credit or minutes. When answered, the screen will pop up to look like you are actually on a call to someone which of course could be very handy for those meetings that drag a bit.

Red Laser

This app is useful for anyone who enjoys shopping round a bit to get the best prices. The great thing about this app is that there is hardly anyone who does not want to find anything for a cheaper price. It allows you to scan any barcode to check on cheaper prices elsewhere. Very useful for things like DVD’s and computer games as there are so many competitors out there.

Of course this is not going to help you if you drop the phone which is when you are going to need mobile phone insurance or perhaps even gadget insurance as this will cover you from other things too. On all of this you could be looking into getting insurance on another gadget which is of course where you could get Sat Nav insurance

The Camera Is More Important Than You First Might Think

Charles — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:55:41 +0000

Many people use a camera every single day of their lives and do not even realise they are doing it whether it comes from a digital camera, mobile phone or even something like a satellite or webcam. Where would we be now without this technology?

Memories

The camera has been used mostly over the years for picture taking of the family, friends and other things like weddings and events. It would be very difficult to remember some of the best times without the camera in our lives. Photos seem to be a great thing when you get a bit older and need those precious memories to keep you going. They are also a great way to remember the people that have passed on as they remind you of all of the good times you had.

Military

Without the invention of the camera the military and police force would not be as effective as it is now. The camera is attached to nearly all police choppers so they can see exactly what is going on. The military also use UAV to plan their next moves as it allows them to see the surrounding areas of the battlefield and make their next plan of action.

Satellite

Believe it or not satellite technology is based heavily on the camera so without these we would be stuffed as we wouldnt be able to see storms or spy on other nations.

Pain

One of the big problems comes if you are going away and you break the thing which is why you should look into getting camera insurance. General gadget insurance will cover you too but it could also be worth looking into laptop insurance if you have a laptop
