Start 2012 Off Right with a Top Notch Website!

As 2012 quickly approaches, are you sure your website is performing its best to guarantee a successful business year? There are a few key aspects needed on a website to ensure you receive the highest traffic possible, increasing your business's potential. What better time to strengthen those key aspects than now to make sure you start the year off right!

1. Website Appearance
Your website's appearance is critical. If your audience isn't attracted to your website, they are less likely to remain on your site, which will encourage them to head to another source. Plus, they probably won't revisit your site in the future. Start the new year off with a fresh template and website look to keep your audience engaged with a site they will want to share and revisit.

2. Website Function
With the new Google Panda platform, your website's function is essential for ranking well on a search engine's results page. Evaluate how well your website is functioning. Is it easy to navigate? Are your ads placed correctly? Most importantly, is it user friendly? If you answer no to any of these questions, it's time to touch up your website.

3. Website Content
Has it been a while since you've updated your website's content? Is it dull and poorly organized? Make sure you have an interesting website with unique content before the new year hits. Your website should be updated with new content regularly. The content needs to be of interest to a targeted audience to promote your traffic.

4. Traffic
Is your website's traffic kind of sluggish? Or, are you looking to take your website's traffic to the next level in 2012? You can give your website's traffic a boost by updating your keywords/phrases and links. Don't have any keywords/phrases? Don't worry. It's never too late to start utilizing search engine optimization and search engine marketing. I promise, you won't be sorry you did.

If you went onto your Facebook pages yesterday, you may or may not have noticed a slight new change-- your posts were served. That's right, your posts are now served to people not seen by people. At the bottom of your posts, you'll now see, 'this post was served to XX people' versus 'seen by XX.' What's Facebook doing? Who knows. Probably a little experiment. Whether it sticks around or not, we have yet to see. This isn't the only change. Facebook unveils new changes all of the time, with a couple new recent changes. Among the most recent changes is the revamping of business pages. This process has been slow and not all pages have been converted yet. Basically, business pages on Facebook are getting a new timeline design...again.

Why?  The news feeds have been modified to appear the same on both desktops and mo...
