Cruise Holidays Website Updated

August 12, 2008 ·

I have just updated one of my Cruise Holidays websites called Cruisegle. Finally I have a site I like the look of and will update other sites over the next few days.

Just to say the images of the Cruise Ships on the Cruise Holidays website were taken by my bother Frank, while on one of his many Cruise Holidays with Celebrity Cruises.

Professional Guaranteed SEO

June 29, 2008 ·

Yes another moan, I have just found one company trying to show how good they are at SEO by attacking Professional Guaranteed SEO, well with 177,000 competing web pages I would expect them to be number 1. But who other than potential clients being told to search it, would search it?

As to the eMarketing Services post earlier, well within hours we are 5th on Google for eMarketing services, I wonder what we will be in the morning for Professional Guaranteed SEO?

Search Engine Marketing Ranking Submission

June 9, 2008 ·

I was looking recently at a website that lists the top 10 search engine optimization companies based on 5 criteria, all to do with rankings for given search terms.

• search engine marketing
• search engine optimization
• search engine optimisation
• search engine ranking
• search engine submission

Now I do not want to cause problems, but I have one with this methodology, why when everyone says search engine submission is not really necessary is this one of the criteria?

Toady it is Monday June 9th 2008 and before today I did not have pages to do with search engine marketing, search engine ranking or search engine submission on my website. This means I have no chance of getting to the top for these search terms and there by become one the UK’s top 10 search engine optimization companies. Well not until now that is. I have about 6 months to get there, wish me luck!

Search Engine Optimization Changes

June 5, 2008 ·

I have just changed the structure of the posts on this blog and added yet more redirects (do not like too many). These Search Engine Optimization changes are necessary, I feel adding long tail (or short ones) to the URL really can have a big effect on Search Engine Optimization.

So the Royal Caribbean Cruise Up For Sale URL now has the words Royal Caribbean Cruise Up For Sail in it, this will enhance its Search Engine Optimization, hopefully!

Search Engine Optimization Website Update

May 30, 2008 ·

I have made a major change to Drabdesign, well changing the pages from .html to .php. The reason being as I add pages, the .php are easier to manage as adding a menu item, is a case of adding the link to one file, rather than every page individually.

I think this will initially effect my search engine optimization and I will drop, even with redirects in place, however long term it will make updating less daunting.

Royal Caribbean Website Updated

May 29, 2008 ·

I have just finishing updating my Royal Caribbean Cruise website adding a couple of cruise search boxes for the Cheap Cruises website CruiseVIP. I am quite please with the new design and hope it will attract people to buy some cruises as that is the only way I will get paid on the project.

This is all part of the Cruise project mentioned in a previous post re Drabdesign Moves Cruise Section and the cruise search box is shown below. Before you ask, yes it does work…I hope!

We now work with Cruise Deals specialists Planet Cruise.

Cruisers Beware the Round Headed Man

May 29, 2008 ·

I met a former colleague the other day from my old days of working for an online cruise travel agent. Dave Laight has returned to being a Cabby even though he is a very talented salesman. He often works nights in Southampton and just as often goes to the docks to watch the cruise ships sail in at 4 in the morning. So why “Cruisers beware the round headed man?” Well one of the office jokes concerned the shape of his head, it appears very round!

What has this got to do with optimization? Well we chatted about what we are doing and the long and short of it was we were laughing at him becoming part of cruising legend, you can see it now, cruisers lining the decks to glimpse the round headed man standing on the docks. I said to him that I would make him famous with a post on the net, hence this post. As to optimization, well his head is the most optimized head I have ever seen. and this post is optimized for Cruisers Beware the Round Headed Man.

The Power of Linking Out

May 27, 2008 ·

One aspect of Search Engine Optimization that is often overlooked is the use of links from your site to another. For instance, I posted a brief article on updating my Optimizing Web Pages site, which is now also attacking Web Page Optimization.

What happened? Well this site, well the home page which has optimization for the term Search Engine Optimization, suddenly rose to third on Google for Optimizing Web Pages! Do not forget to link off site at some point, however make it to a good quality site.

Drabdesign Website Update

May 26, 2008 ·

Just to say that the home page of Drabdesign has been changed to reflect our Search Engine Optimization Service, we had changed last week to include Internet Marketing, however it was felt that a new internal page will be created for that as our position in Google had dropped with the recent page change. Lets hope this newer change does not have the same effect!
