What is a domain name?

A domain name, also called a URL or your .com, is the name selected by you to represent your website on the internet i.e. www.DOMAINNAME.com.

How do I decide on the best domain name?

The decision is you to you, however, it is best to choose a name that is simple to remember and is relevant to your business. Try to avoid name that are too long as spelling mistakes will occur and could end up sending the user to the wrong site. Remember simple is best, and of course the domain cannot already be in use.

What is a Link?

A link is when the name of your website, company name or logo appears on other sites and allows users direct access to your site without having to type your URL into the internet browser.

Does it benefit me at all to have links on my page or to have links to my website on other peoples' sites?

Absolutely! Any way that you can get people to your site is a good thing. The more poeple visiting your site means the more people that are interested in your business. If you are willing to put a link to someone else's website on one of your pages then they will be more inclined to do the same for you.

What are keywords?

Keywords are the words or phrases that internet users type into search engines to find information. Simply put, if these words match the content of your site then your webpage will come up in the search results.

What is SEO?

SEO is also known as Search Engine Optimization. Without being too technical, SEO is what is going to get your website found by all the people looking for what you do. For example, if someone is searching the keywords "business cards Calgary" and you make business cards, don't you think it would be beneficial if your website came up near the top of the results? Well, this is exactly what the SEO process can achieve.

What are metatags?

A metatag is descriptive information about your webpage that is imbedded in the language of the site. A word that is in a metatag of a webpage will cause that webpage to turn up as a result of a search engine's search on that word, even if that word is not found in the actual content of the page.

What are pay per clicks ads?

Pay per click (PPC) is an advertising model used on search engines, advertising networks, and content websites/blogs, where advertisers only pay when a user actually clicks on an ad to visit the advertiser's website. Advertisers bid on keywords they predict their target market will use as search terms when they are looking for a product or service.

What is an organic search?

An organic search is a process by which internet users find web sites having unpaid search engine listings, as opposed to using the pay per click (PPC) advertisement listings displayed among the search results.

How long until I see my website on the first page of organic search results?

Although SEO is a very effective marketing tool, results are not seen overnight. After a couple months of steady traffic to your site the organic search rank will start to jump. In the mean time it is a good idea to have PPC ads running because they can boost traffic to your site which in turn will help the organic search results.

What is a BLOG?

A blog is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic.

Can I make changes to my website after it is finished?

Not a problem. Although we do send you an offline version of your site for final approval before we put it on the net, it is not unlikely that down the line you may want to add or remove some content. This is where our two hours a month of redesign and maintenance to your site comes into play.
