This website is a great example of keep balance between simplicity and captivating design.

2. www.apple.com
apple.com is the best example of striking the balance of professionalism with simplicity and content.

3. www.matergymnasium.dk
Although this website is a great example for flash developer. I has a unique combination of simplicity and captivating design but Being an SEO Expert, I feel it’s not very search engine friendly design.

edwintse.com is another great exemplification of balance between professionalism and creativity.

fwa is a great example of strong graphic elements balancing to make a site that’s bold and easy to use.

9. www.jkvc.me
jkvc.com includes some really great graphic element and i am sorry to say it doesn’t maintain balance between design and content but still it has potential to make into my top 10.

10. www.european-culture.it
european-culture is a mind boggling example of flash design but again this website lost balance between content and design.

Different SERPs for different browsers

Today morning i had a bizarre experience with Google. I was checking position of http://www.notabledesign.com on Google for graphic design Montreal and result really left me astounded. With Firefox it was at #1 but with internet explorer it’s at #17.





I thought it might be happened because of cookies or session . I deleted all the stored cookies and everything in history but surprisingly i am getting again the same result.
I read same kind of question in some SEO forums and responders were saying that it might be because of different data centers of google but franking speaking, I don’t think so. I don’t know whether i am getting crazy or is there something wrong with browsers or search engine.
Aaahhhh! Need to dig into in :(
I appreciate your comments and answers

Website design and SEO friendly website design is two different things.Most of the time people create websites and they don’t care about SEO and at the end of day their website land up at nowhere.
website design
You can create very attractive and professional website but without targeted traffic, It’s almost worthless. Frankly speaking, SEO friendly websites do half of the search engine optimization by itself.

Below are the 10 most important SEO tips, where every web designers and developers should pay attention to during website development.

1- At the very starting point of website development , try to fetch url which includes your major keywords and indicates purpose of website.

2- Your content should be richy , catchy and appropiate and fairly distribute your keywords all over the page. Yeah, Don’t forget to use keywords in title, alt and tags smartly.

3- Try to avoid flash as much as possible.Well, if you have no other option, use it very lots of care. I mean don’t include navigation bar and important content in flash .

4-Have a quality link set in footer. Link all your important pages and use keywords in title and alt. Sometime, This only get your job done.

5- Use CSS navigational menu.By doing this , Navigational text will be easily crawl-able and indexable by search engines. Using multi-level CSS drop down navigational menu is even better. BY this mean, Practially every page of your website(inside navigation menu) will be included.

6- Avoid including text inside the image because it’s useless from an SEO perspective and just increases the size of image.

7-Use unique title and description on every page to avoid duplication and for better search engine indexation.

8-Avoid using table based architecture because it just increases page size nothing else.

9-Avoid using frames. Most of the search engines don’t like frames.

10-Use external CSS and javascript in order to further reduce page size and to make the download time faster.

This is my 10 most important tips for website design and development. Enjoy the best of the bestest website design for both search engines and human

Do we really need Sitemaps?

Yesterday one friend of mine was asking about importance of Sitemap in search engine optimization, According to my opinion, Sitemap is not mandatory for any website but it’s good to have one in order to have safe and complete crawling. Actually it’s a matter of page depth in root directory and dynamic content , sometimes crawlers fail to crawl the pages due to high page depth or dynamic content (such as pages with heavily RIA elements). That’s why, in order to get all the pages crawled , sitemap is needed. Google  and other search engines adheres to sitemap protocol 0.9 (defined by sitemaps.org).

Poison Keywords

hello all,

Good morning everybody!

Last night, i was analyzing some meta tags with some web analyzer, strangely, i was shown a red flag saying “you have poison keywords in your meta tag”. Actually they have categorized “search engine” and “forum ” as poison keywords, i am sure they have many more keywords in this category. I am still wondering if there really exist such thing in search engine optimization or just another myth.

i am still digging into  these strange red flag, till them stay tuned and keep posting your search engine optimization updates.
