Tips for a better looking blog March 2, 2010 No Comments
Well done you have a blog, and you’re writing it frequently. But it looks awful. Slap!
So what can you do? Read on…
Start with a decent theme – If you understand CSS etc really well you can make your own, if you’re a complete novice, shop around online for themes you can buy and install yourself. It’s really easy to do, and there are loads of tutorials online to show you how. If you’re in between a newbie and a pro, then take the most simple theme going and adapt it, that way you wont have to write any new code and but there is a wide scope to play about. Just make sure it looks unique and memorable, brand it for yourself. Read the rest of this entry »
The Twitter connection… February 9, 2010 No Comments
Yes another post about Twitter, but this time it’s coming from someone who said “I’ll never join Twitter muwahahahaaaaa!”. But for some reason – I might have been in a mood with Facebook at the time – I signed up. Read the rest of this entry »
Content – SEO’s answer to painting the Golden Gate Bridge January 25, 2010 No Comments
Content is an ever-growing, ever-changing strategy. I say strategy, as at redsauce, we successfully use content strategies to take our clients sites to places that they shouldn’t be, considering the price that they have paid!
Strategy: an elaborate and systematic plan of action
How true – as well as more than first-rate SEO techniques – so good, in fact, that we consider what others claim to be amazing techniques as merely the ‘norm’ – we produce a plan of action for our clients in terms of the content written for their sites. Read the rest of this entry »
What to blog about? January 12, 2010 No Comments
We’re always saying how a blog can really help your website, and even humanise it a little. After all it’s always good to know there are real people behind the shiny website! But sometimes it’s it can be really tricky to think of what to actually write about…
Here’s some ideas which should help you out:
1. Check industry news, you probably subscribe to a few online e-zines and even some paper magazines related to your business and industry. A quick flick through them will work wonders, try not to pick anything too controversial or you might have the wrong opinion and give yourself a bad name. Stick to safe interesting subjects, i.e. a designer could write about someone’s work who has inspired them or the latest software developments. Have an opinion, but don’t take it too far and argue about it to yourself or your blog will turn into a rant! Read the rest of this entry »
What makes a successful blog? November 3, 2009 1 Comment
As we told you last week, company blogs are ultimately crucial to your website. Blogs can be a great way to attract customers, share news and create unique content for your website.
And the great thing is that there’s no set rules to what your blog has to contain – it’s completely up to you. It’s your blog so you can write about what you want, when you want and how you want. But there are a few things you can do to make your blog that little bit more successful in attracting customers.
Having only been here for two weeks, I’m still learning the basics but I’ll share everything I know:
1. Remember who you’re writing for; It’s no use using techie jargon if your customers aren’t computer geeks. It might look good but ultimately it’s going to alienate your clients and drive your traffic right down. Similarly, remember the web is a universal tool; it’s no good writing in cockney-rhyming slang if you want to attract customers from America. They won’t understand a word and a silly thing like this could easily drive them straight into the arms of your competitor! Read the rest of this entry »
