guests are excited and hoping for a pleasant stay. Any information a
web site offers to help them make choices and imagine themselves snuggled
in sleeping bags increases the likelihood that they’ll call.

Recently visited a web site that was redesigned. It looked professional
and attractive. It was ready for visitors, but perhaps not me. My goal
was to find out where the products were and secondly, how to order them.
However, the first big whammo! object on the page was a video of a person
talking about a product.

If you are in the business of optimizing web pages and promoting web
sites in search engines, in all likelihood, you’ve never personally
experienced the product or service you’re paid to market.


And yet, your client expects you to make them rich. At the very least,
they want their company to rank well in search engine results. They
expect you to find the exact keywords their customers are using to find
their product or service, but you don’t have access to those customers,
do you? You rely on tools and server logs to do your job.

It’s easy to overlook important information that your website visitors may need when they first arrive to your homepage. While landing pages are helpful in guiding searchers to your site, eventually even these folks will find themselves on your homepage. Everyone has the same basic questions.

My favorite impression of the November 2005 High Rankings Search Engine Marketing Seminar, in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, came at the end of it. This is when a Question and Answer session with the seminar’s presenters was in progress and I was in the back of the room observing. This is when it hit me. I really like the way these search engine marketing experts teach what they know to attendees.

hate to imagine that in your web development project team meetings, the one thing that will be overlooked is consideration for the end user. Yet, how many white boards have you seen lately that have “ease of use”, or “be polite to customers” scribbled anywhere on them?
