Seo Education 101 Part 7 – The Importance of Anchor Text
Posted by David Wiltshire on July, 20th 2010Whenever you create a link to one of the pages on your website, whether it be from another page on your site, or somewhere else across the internet, you will have the opportunity to use optimized anchor text.
When a search engine spider comes across a link, they depend on the link’s anchor text to tell them what the linked page is about. Using the keywords that you want to rank for in your anchor text is extremely important!
Here is an example of anchor text:

The anchor text used in the example above was “backlinks”.

[...]Getting stuck-in to Magento
Posted by David Wiltshire on January, 6th 2010After really getting stuck into the nuts and bolts of Magento today, it is becoming more clear how useful and and structured Magento is. As time goes on I think the system will make more sense and will become a more efficient way of developing e-commerce websites.
One of the major challenges that I have faced so far is the templating system of Magento. It is different to systems I have used in the past but makes a lot more sense in the fact that everything fits together the way it should.
You can really see that Magento has been clearly thought out and developed in a way that helps the system fit together nicely.
I will be making regular posts about my progress with Magento and how I am using it at Juno Web Design to create cutting edge websites.
Hello Magento and WordPress
Posted by David Wiltshire on January, 6th 2010
Magento eCommerce
I have just started here at Juno Web Design and already I can see a great deal of WordPress and Magento development going on. Something which I too hope to pick up whilst i’m here. It has become clear that Content Management Systems seem to be very popular for website development at the moment and the fact they can be customised to their needs is important.
I hope to be very involved with new Magento and WordPress sites over the next few months and hope that my development here at Juno Web Design in Nottingham will really help my career and Juno develop into something great.
I will be posting more about my development here at Juno Web Design in Nottingham soon and hope you will come back to read it.

Web design launch for BAC Sport
Posted by David Wiltshire on January, 20th 2009We discreetly launched the new BAC Sport website design a month ago.
BAC Sport is an experienced sports tour operator, specialising in arranging sports tours for individuals and Corporate Groups, to all of the major sporting events worldwide.
BAC Sport came to us through recommendation from another client, they had a shocker of an existing website with dated design and build quality and no management functionality. Freedom to update and post company news, offers and packages was non existent incurring regular unnecessary cost.
We have built a site that represents the vibrant brand and large quantities of information in a way that is easy to navigate and with a contemporary design. The site in three weeks since launch is page one of Google for their main search term ‘sports tour operator’ and a range of relevant searches and we hear that increased sales are noticeable which is great news.

[...]Is Your Blog Working As Well As It Should?
Posted by David Wiltshire on January, 19th 2009Exactly as with any other marketing scheme, when you produce a blog to advertise your business, you want to keep track of your results. This will let you see how effectively blogging is functioning for you and in addition to let you see what alterations you need to make to produce a more effective blog.
Stage One: Keep Track of Your Blogging Results
The first stage in determining how well your blog is functioning as a marketing tool is to measure your blog’s potency:
Keep track of other blog references. A blogroll pertains to the practice of linking up with like-minded blog pages from one article. Just as you’ll want to link to other blogs from your blog, so others might choose to offer a link to your blog. This kind of linking assures more hits and assures that your blog will strand higher in rankings – very much like a much-quoted [...]
Why Blogging is So Popular?
Posted by David Wiltshire on January, 19th 2009Name one person that doesn’t like to share his or her point of view, and you will have just named nobody at all. The point of the above exercise is to show the simple fact that everyone likes to talk about themselves, and what they are up to, even if they say that they do not like doing so.
There is something about being human that makes us self involved to the point where we truly feel as if others want, or need to know what is going on with us. Blogs offer one a unique way to express his or her feelings on any number of issues, with a shield that only the internet can provide.
The most common use of a blog is that of a journal, or an opinionated piece of writing involving some aspect of the author’s day to day life. While some blogs are totally commercially driven, [...]

[...]Introduction To Seo
Posted by David Wiltshire on January, 17th 2009As many of my regular readers know i am currently running a traffic generation series containing over 50 videos.
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and is essentially the process of designing, building, and promoting web design with the search engines in mind.
The purpose is to rank well in the search engines, which will then in turn provide you with organic search engine traffic. Search engine optimization (SEO) is very important if you ever want to gain decent rankings in the search engine.
Even though the word SEO can sound terribly intimidating, actually applying it to your blog is no where near as hard as it sounds.
All you have to do is invest some initial time into learning the basics, and soon your blog news will be better than 90% of the others out there, simply because you have SEO.
