Speed Matters With Google
I love it when I read an article which actually leads me to learn something. Search Engine Land reports today that Google now includes page speed as a factor when ranking your site. How important a factor speed is, isn’t yet determined.
As much as possible, I’ve always tried to keep page speed as quick as possible. What you might not notice on a broadband connection, your visitors on dialup or slow satellite connections sure will.
I’ve done some web design in the past so I’m tend to remember to pay attention to things like optimising graphics or trying to keep them to a minimum. On most of the blogs I have, I avoid using pictures unless there is a value added element to them. I know, some of the gurus will tell you to use pictures on most of your posts.
How to Attract Website Traffic
Build it and then will come. Once the rallying cry of those who were willing to take chances in life and reach for the stars on big ideas. On the web, that translated into fill a website with high quality content and they would come. Using a bunch of good search phrases and in the HTML would bring you lots of traffic. At least that was the theory.
That wasn’t completely true. If you failed to optimize your pages for not only your product but related ways of referring to the product searchers would not be able to find you. So, all the great content in the world wasn’t going to help if the pages weren’t optimized.
