Bryan Bausch Foundation | New Client Website Release

2018-08-14T19:35:00.001-07:00

I'd like to welcome The Bryan Bausch Foundation to our family of web clients.

I originally met Linda Bausch many years ago and created a website for her Literacy Consulting Business. I've worked with her for many, many years now on her business site... A few years ago, Linda suffered the tragic loss of her son Bryan to drug addiction. Instead of walking away from the sadness, Linda decided to create a new foundation to help other families who are suffering from this disease. She found a purpose. She's been writing about it on a basic blog for a while, and now she decided that it was time to take it to the next level by creating a full website for her organization.

I am very happy to have worked with Linda on this project. She has a true heart and a true purpose. It gave me inspiration to think about what she would need, how it would look and work, ... I worked hard to put together a site that both serves her mission and will be user-friendly for her to maintain. I hope to work with her for many years into the future as she sets her sights forward on this issue which is so passionate to her.

Please take a moment to check out her new site, read what she has to say, and support her in her efforts, ...

Sincerely,

Joe Bodin

This may include a bit about Search Engine Optimization (SEO), trends we see coming on Google, what they are doing to Track us, other Search Engines that are worth looking into... If you have a thought about Search Engines or have questions that can lead our discussion into an interesting direction, then you should attend.

New Format and Focus

We are working on changing the format of Flag Tech Talk for the new year! We've learned that the majority of our attendees for the past few years are starting to feel like they have learned a lot of the basics and are asking us to dig a little deeper. So, we are formulating the idea of making our discussions more of a roundtable format where we all sit in a circle and discuss a techie topic. A little less lecture and a lot more discussion...!

We are also working on organizing a series of new guest speakers for the new year as well. If you or someone you know would like to lead a discussion, please contact us.

As with all of our Tech Talk's,
No Techno Babble Allowed!

Fighting the Search Engine War

2016-04-04T10:30:00.000-07:00

One of the key things that I tell people when they get a new website is "Just Having a Website Doesn't Mean That Anyone is Every Going to Find It!" There is an endless battle that a website owner has to fight to get found on the Search Engines.

Obviously, we all know that Google is the leader and is where the majority of traffic comes from. But, don't disregard that there are actually thousands of Search Engines out there. They are all vying to become the next Google. At one time, Yahoo was the leader and they seemed invincible. Then, along came Google who simplified things and focused on the simple search idea. The rest is history...! But, you never know where the next big idea is going to come from that blows us all away.

Now, we all clearly focus on Google's search results and then consider that places like Yahoo, Bing, DogPile, ... will also be scanning our website. We are constantly trying to figure out the best Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to try desperately to come up in the results when people are looking for our type of business. It isn't easy and it is never-ending.

The Algorithm

All of the Search Engines use a formula that is called an "Algorithm" that uses all sorts of parameters to figure out when someone does a search what type of results will come up. We all would like to think that if we put our website out there, then someone will find it based on our name or what we do. But, often that isn't the case. And, unfortunately or not, it is every changing. As the technology changes and more information is gathered by the engines, they then change their formula. It's hard to keep up with and even harder to figure out because they don't actual tell you what they are doing most of the time.

Here are some things that I always recommend:

Honest in Advertising - The very first thing I always tell people is to be honest about describing who they are and what they do. Years ago, the idea of trying to fake the Search Engines into listing you in some way might have worked, but now it clear that honesty is the best policy. They are smart enough now - their algorithm will see through lies - so tell the truth about who you are.

Meta Tags - In the past, the main way that the Search Engines figured out who you are is through a set of tags in the code of a website called Meta Tags. These are essentially a Title, Keywords, and Description for every page of your site. These still work, but how the engines are reading them keeps changing. So, it is still vitally important to put them in a site - especially the Title tag - but realize this isn't the end of the game. You have to keep changing them to fit the latest trends.

Accurate Text - One of the biggest things I can tell people is to actually write good text with good keywords into their website. The Search Engines will scan your website and every word you've written is taken into account. Keep writing into your site - blogging is great - so that there is always new, hot, and important information about who you are and what you do in your site.

Find Your Niche - Who are your clients? Who will be searching for you? What makes you unique? You have to figure out who your demographic is and really try to target that with your Meta Tags, your Text, and everything you put into your site. If you can define yourself by keyword from your competition, then you have a chance to stand out in the Search Engines.

Mobile Friendly - This is NEW. In the recent past year, Google started tagging websites who are Mobile Friendly and which are not. At first, they simply tagged them so that the public new before they clicked on their smart phones to view a site. Now, they are about to take that a step further and any site that isn't Mobile Friendly will start seeing less and less traffic. This is a NEW change that is going to effect millions of small businesses who haven't upgraded their websites in a long time to the new software like WordPress.

As you can see, there is a lot that goes into getting your website found in the Search Engines. And, it never ends. You have to constantly be tweaking all of these items and doing everything you can to make a website stand out. If a site becomes stagnant, then your traffic stagnates. You have to keep working on it, keep changing your keywords, keep following the latest trends, ... It is a never-ending battle!

Join us on Wednesday, September 17th at 6 p.m. at Bookman's for our next Flag Tech Talk presented by Joe Bodin of Reliable Web Designs.

One of the factors that the Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing use to determine how they will list you is called "Backlinks". The more links you have out on the Internet, the more "popular" you become, and the more topically related places people can find you. This Flag Tech Talk will discuss how to get backlinks, how to check your analytics to see what backlinks are working, and discuss the overall concept. Join us for an adventure into topical marketing!
