    WordPress And Content Management in Orange County Web Design 

    Over time, I have come to regard WordPress as the serious choice for anyone attempting success in SEO. This isn’t to say that a website needs to be on WordPress to rank well. This is to say that WordPress must be involved for a start-up SEO effort, as a supporting site and if there are no compelling reasons not to, as the primary website as well. Just this week, WordPress was awarded the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards Overall Best Open Source CMS. That’s a first and it reflects the power of WordPress out-of-the-box SEO jump-start advantage over competitors, including hand crafted websites. This isn’t due just to the mechanics of WordPress but its environment and nature- one of fresh content and interaction.

    Orange County is among the most competitive web design markets in the world. Orange County Web Design and SEO are essential to any and every business with any intent on competing in new media.

    Age of Domains | Orange County Web Design 

    Age of domains can work both for and against you in SEO. A new domain enteres an un-trusted relationship with Google, or worse yet, may have a bad reputation from a previous life. If you found you’re suddenly lucky and were able to buy, say, spam.com, you might just find out that it used to be a… wait for it, spam site! While the pun is painful, the point is real. Investigate anything that seems too good. You could be latching onto a domain name that has been blacklisted by Google for any number of bad practices. You’ll invest extra time getting the damage undone. Old domains can run into problems when you move them to a new host or revamp the site. This is best remedied by placing the site in your Google webmaster account (you don’t have one?) Google: Google Webmaster Tools and get one. Then generate a new sitemap Google: xml sitemap generator, and submit it along with the site in Webmaster Tools.

    Orange County is a fiercely competitive environment for SEO. Most searches in Orange County will generate hundreds of thousands or millions of results. Orange County is an environment which requires aggressive and expert SEO and web design.

    Avoid This Pitfall In Your SEO Effort | Orange County Web Design 

    Just this last week, I have been asked to come to the aid of two new clients who have been de-listed from Google. Mysteriously, their main page disappeared from sight. In both cases they had used the same tool, Web Position Gold. Google’s TOS prohibits this and similar tools that over query the search engine and abuse it’s resources. Be sure to stay away from such software based tools that guarantee top placement via automated processes.
