SEO Step-By-Step Guide– 216. The need to include SEO in your Developmental Cycle

Posted: 31 Oct 2009 06:53 AM PDT

If you are planning to start your website's SEO after the completion of your web development, then it is high time that you stopped a moment and reviewed your own approach. If you want your SEO to bear results and to make your website into a search engine blast, then you must incorporate your SEO as part of your development cycle. If you have to incorporate your website's SEO as part of your developmental cycle, then your SEO company should be part of your developmental cycle.
Your SEO company should be able to send directives to your web development team on the navigational requirements, file sizes, site architecture, content positioning, etc. Your web development team in turn should discuss with your SEO team on the suitable language platforms. For example usage of JAVA script can hinder your SEO efforts. If your web development incorporates a lot of JAVA script to create those stunning effects in your website then it will be both time and money consuming to have it replaced with a another search engine friendly script. On the other hand if your web development team is already directed by the SEO team on the usable and search engine friendly scripts, they will develop a solution using the search engine friendly script. Your website on the whole will be a search engine friendly website.
Thousands of such factors can be taken care off if during the developmental cycle if your SEO is made part of the developmental cycle. This will also give you the website owner a greater understanding of SEO and your websites search engine strength. One of the main advantages of taking the trouble right at the beginning is that your overall SEO spending will be reduced considerably brining you a lot of savings on the long run. Moreover, you will also be able to save a lot of search engine time. The longer you take to optimize your website the later it will start producing results. On the other hand when you launch a well-optimized website, then it can start attracting the search engines right from day one. You cannot expect for a better reason why your website's SEO should be made part of your developmental cycle.
Certain things cannot be changed at a later stage even if you are prepared to spend the required time and money. In such cases, your website's SEO will suffer a great deal. It is much easier to develop a solution that is SEO friendly than make amendments later. Therefore, we cannot stress enough the importance of incorporating your website's SEO along with the developmental cycle. It goes without saying that your SEO team and your web development team should work hand in hand to produce the desired results.

Twitter Friday: Twitter Lists Galore!

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 01:10 PM PDT

A lot has happened on and around Twitter since I left for a week. All those news pales in comparison to the introduction of native lists on Twitter.

We’ve used groups on advanced Twitter clients like TweetDeck and Seesmic already but this week Twitter lists went live for everybody on the Web interface at Twitter.com

The introduction of lists been a wise move by Twitter for many reasons.

Twitter lists result in people who use Twitter apps of all kinds returning to the actual website and generate page views and clicks.

Also these lists are more than the groups we could use within Twitter clients.

You can share these lists when they are public.
You can subscribe to public lists.
You can see who’s on them.
You can see on how many lists you appear.
You can link to lists
You can invite people to join lists.

Some features you’d expect are missing as of now though:

You can’t leave lists, other put you on them.
You can’t join lists, only others can make you join.
You can’t address lists e.g. only tweet something to a list.
You can’t see whether you see a tweet based on a list subscription or because you follow that person.

Nonetheless there seems to be a real frenzy over the lists and a high adoption rate especially in the SEO industry. I ended up on a 12 lists within hours of the appearance of lists and by now the number has tripled. Other, more popular tweeple sport memberships in dozens or even hundreds of lists by now.

Are lists the new follower count? Probably, but that’s not all. Lists are a very effective tool to organize information. On Twitter they allow you to organize sources of information. These sources are people so you list people you follow.

We already can witness

postings of “lists to follow” being published.
Twitter lists directories being set up.
sharing lists is being celebrated
advice is being given on how marketers can use lists
a Twitter lists arms race being on the way
even Twitter lists humor already appearing

Indeed lists are a really useful addition to the Twitter experience especially in case you tweet for business reasons. You can now group your employees or subscribe to whole new segments of the Twitter population. Do you want to subscribe to the SEO industry on Twitter with one click? Try this list by Matt McGee.

Do you use lists already?
Are there ways to use Twitter lists we haven’t covered yet?
How can you use Twitter lists for SEO?
