Google updated not too long ago and this blog has found it’s way into a PageRank 1 in only a month. I set the blog up at this domain on March 3rd and really haven’t put a significant amount of work into it besides writing a few posts and registering it with a few places. Alexa is still giving it a 1.5M ranking, which is simply no good. We’re doing about 700k on Compete and nothing on MozRank. All in all though, for a month, really not too bad. It’s like fishing. You get better bait or a wider net. (more…)

Design is attention. I’m not a purist in any sense of the word. Design to me is anything that catches the eye of your intended audience. Bad design is a good thing if it attracts the right people in the intended way.

Heck, if you write a nineteen page paper on the scientific intricacies of why the Pepsi logo should look like Fat Albert took a sit on it for a while… and you get publicity for it… well, whatever.

There are probably thousands of pieces of advice SEO experts will give. The majority of which is duplicate, wrong, or just not helpful. Finding a really good SEO team can be hard, there are a lot of used car salesmen out there. At Epiphany Digital, we’re really concerned about doing it right, tracking the results, measuring the facts. I’ve made a short list of the top ten SEO practices that can really get your site playing ball.
- Make sure your code is W3C valid! It’s really important that your page is easy reading for Google, Yahoo, and the rest of the gang. This will also help with cross browser compatibility.
- Have really outstanding content, and lots of it. The more pages that are indexed by Google the better, especially if those pages are being read by real visitors. It’s not enough to have a lot of content. Google does measure how long your visitors stay on a page. Besides that, it’s your readers that ultimately matter anyway. If you do nothing else with SEO, follow these first two pieces of advice. (more…)

I’m just going to cover a few basics here.
We want the bounce rate down, and the average time on the site high. The great thing about Google Analytics is the ability to look at view times on a per page basis.
