SEO 101 for designers
Search engine ranking affects the amount of traffic coming to a website in a big way. Rarely do users go past the second page of search engines when searching for something. Therefore, it is important to have your website on the first two pages for you to get any substantial traffic.
“I want to build a brand for my business…all I need is a logo.” This is the common misconception running in the minds of many clients who are looking to brand their business. They misconstrue a brand for a mere symbol, logo or a trademark used on a signboard outside the company gate. However the reality is otherwise…the logo designing is just a minor part of entire branding process. A brand is what separates large corporate giants from their small scale competitors.

Google updated its search algorithm this week to help reduce webspam in its search results.
These changes were made in response to increased criticism of Google and its search engine results.

Just because logo designers are imaginative and skillful, it doesn’t mean that they are machines. Like everyone else, they are also human beings and have developed habits of their own. The trouble in possessing habits is that they become your second nature. They reflect in whatever you do, even influencing you when creating a logo design. Although good habits are worth keeping, it is extremely difficult to change bad habits. This is because old habits die hard.
2010 was a BIG year on the internet. Take a look at how email, social media, websites and blogs changed over the last year Priority Inbox is revolutionizing how Gmail users receive e-mail — instead of dredging through loads of messages, Priority Inbox users are benefiting from Google’s algorithm, which predicts which e-mails are important based on which ones a user opens and responds to. This new feature is the first big innovation since the spam filter that has ruffled feathers for e-mail marketers. The feature’s algorithm considers information such as who sent the e-mail, how many others it was addressed to (and who they are), which label it falls under and which words and phrases are used, to determine if it is worthy of the “important” marker. If the system makes a mistake, users can correct it, and it improves over time. 9andsomechange Web Design, L.L.C., is based in Phoenix, Arizona, and represents clients from cities in the Valley and greater Phoenix area, including Scottsdale, Phoenix, Glendale, Cave Creek, Sun City, Tempe, Mesa, Peoria, Fountain Hills, Paradise Valley, Gilbert, Carefree and Chandler.

LinkedIn, the business professional's platform, is not always the first choice when we think about growing a business. Growing a business in social media we immediately think of Twitter and Facebook as they have the power of engagement. People interact more on Twitter and Facebook as we can send a @tweet or post on a wall whereas with LinkedIn the direct contact is still via email. The immediacy and also the deeper relationships that exist with Twitter and Facebook do not always lead to business opportunities.
