This post explains  the consequences of a site going offline and how that can negatively impact that site’s ranking in the Google’s search results.

Has your website ever gone down for short period of time and have you ever wondered how this would affect your rankings in google and other search engines. A site that temporarily goes offline for a short period of time, such as less than 24 hours, should be fine. But a site that goes offline for an extended period of time, such as 48 hours or more, may see their site delisted from Google’s search results – at least temporarily.

The reason should be obvious to most of you. Why would Google want to send a searcher to a website that isn’t working? Google rather send the searcher to a site that might not be as relevant but at least a searcher can see and read. You can also note  that when a site goes offline, Google will try to send those who are registered with Google Webmaster Tools a notification that there site is offline. These messages normally say something to the effect that GoogleBot is not able to access the site.

These notifications can help you ensure your site is up by informing the webmaster of any down time. For more information, please feel free to contact Evolvenet Web Design for more information about the Google Webmaster Toosl notifications that you might recieve.

This tutorial will show you how to set up an POP3 Email account.

Step 1 – Select the email tab.

Step 2– After selecting the email tab, you will then need to enter your full email address and your correct password.  Then select manual setup – which would be on the right hand side of the screen.

Step 3 – it will then ask you on what type of account you would like to have. You can either choose between POP3 and IMAP. The main difference between the two is that the POP3 protocol assumes that there is only one client connected to the mailbox.
In contrast, the IMAP protocol allows simultaneous access by multiple clients. IMAP is suitable for you if your mailbox is about to be managed by multiple users. Click on POP3.

Step 4 – You willl then need to configure your incoming server settings. Firstly, you will need to enter your username and password. You will need to ensure that these are both correct. You will then need to replace “POP3” with “mail” in the POP3 server text box and then choose next.

Step 5– It will then check the incoming server settings, it will produce an error if any of these settings are incorrect, which would usually be either the username or password.

Step 6 – You will then  need to configure your outgoing server settings. For this section, the “smtp server” will be different depending on your mobile network provider.

Step 7 – For the port, you can use 587(Default), if this doesn’t work try port 25 which I have used for this tutorial.

Step 8 – Uncheck Require sign-in then choose next.

Step 9 – It will then check the outgoing server settings, it will produce an error if any of these settings aee incorrect.

Step 10 – When coming to the next screen, these settings are for your own preferences and can be changed later on when you set up the email. Then choose next.

Step 11- Your almost there. You will then need to enter a display name for your email.

Step 12 – When clicking next – it will then start to sync with your email account and after a few minutes, your emails will then start appearing soon on the screen.

Step 13 – Your emails should now started to come through, and now your emails have been successfully set up.

Microsoft Bing announced changes to the way they allow webmasters to manage their “deep links” in the search results, while Google has quietly added up to ten sitelinks for a navigational query.

Bing Deep Links Update

It has been announced that on the Bing Webmaster blog that they have updated the Deep Links management feature by removing features in order to make it more useful to webmasters. The features webmasters have access to now for managing “deep links” (Google calls them Sitelinks) include:

• Block a deep link URL from showing up anywhere with a single action
• Block a deep link only in a specific country/region
• No more limitations to information about your deep links
• Deep links blocks now expire after 90 days

For more information about this, then feel free to contact evolvenet web design for more information about how well your website is doing in Google, Bing and other search engines.

Don’t alienate youself by just concentrating on just Google. See our SEO projects now for more information.

Bing has rolled out indicators that show the percent change for certain factors in their webmaster tools. This means that you can quickly compare past data with your current data and figure out the trend of your website whether positive or negative.

The indicators are very simple to use and they will make it easier to see just how drastically your website has improved or how drastically it has gotten worse.

Using the Indicators

In the Webmaster Tools you simply decide what range that you want to use for the indicators. You can look at the past 30 days to see how things have changed. You can also look at a few months together and you can go all the way up to a six month period of time. After you enter the range that you want to go over a series of percent indicators will appear on the screen.

The indicators feature an arrow pointing up for an increase and an arrow pointing down for a decrease. The arrow coupled with the bright green color or bright red color makes it very simple to see whether your site is improving or declining.

What Pages Is This For?

You can get percent change information for most of the pages that are indexed by Bing. If information for your page shows up in Webmaster tools you should be able to get percent change information on that page as well.

It should be noted that this feature was added to Google Webmaster Tools all the way back in October 2010 but it’s better late than never, and Bing users will probably enjoy this new feature and its simplicity.

1. Encourage respected, industry-related websites to link to your web pages

This is the most important factor in optimising your site. Inbound links from other websites and blogs help the search engines find you and understand what your web pages are about. A website is like a destination in a sprawling city, and links are the roads leading to it. The search engines also treat these links pointing to your web pages as ‘votes’, and the more ‘votes’ you have from good quality and relevant websites, the better.

2. Satisfy the search engines’ appetite for informative text

Customers are looking for information to help them choose a product or service. The search engines help them by finding web pages that provide useful and helpful information about that product or service. Search engines can’t ‘read’ images and animations, so they need informative text. Give the search engines plenty of reading material. This is their food.

The other benefit of providing lots of helpful information on your site is that website owners are more likely to link to your pages and the search engines will reward you for these inbound links.

3. Make sure each web page has a unique title and unique content

Each of your web pages should have unique content and the keywords and title you choose for each page should reflect this. Think of each page as having a different emphasis. It’s important to have a different title for every web page. Need help with page titles and how to edit them?

Search engines rank web pages, not websites, so each page can only be optimised for a handful of keywords and you can’t optimise every page for the same set of keywords. If you try to fill a single page with all of the keywords related to your business, no single keyword will stand out to the search engines and they will not consider the page to be a good match for any specific search query.

4. Use your keywords in your web pages

Incorporate your keywords — in context and in moderation — into the text, headings, links, image titles and descriptions, description meta tags and keyword meta tags of your web pages.

5. Update the text content of your website

The search engines are trying to deliver the best, most up-to-date information to people searching the Web, so they favour sites that are updated often with good quality text content.

6. Study your site’s statistics

Use your website statistics to learn which sites are driving traffic to yours and which pages within your website are the most popular.

Have you paid to have your site listed in a particular directory? Check your website statistics to confirm if that directory is driving traffic to your site.

7. Add interactive features to your website

Give your customers the opportunity to contribute comments, ask questions, submit product reviews, vote in a poll, or forward links and images to friends. These features encourage visitors to return and tell others about your site. Increasing traffic to your site can in turn attract the attention of the search engines. Interactive features such as forums and blogs have the added bonus of encouraging visitors to generate more text content for your website — the very thing search engines are looking for.

8. Look at your competitors’ site content

Which web page appears first in the search result for your chosen keywords? Watch the search results over several weeks to see which pages perform well consistently. How are your competitors using those keywords on their web pages? How is their text information structured? How much information do they offer? Do you offer a product or service that your competitors don’t, or do you service an area they don’t cover? Make sure the distinction is clear to your customers and the search engines.

Responsive or adaptive websites are beginning to be in demand nowadays. But not all webmasters are building responsive websites. There are various reasons behind this decision.

Because not everything is compatible for everyone, you cannot expect every website owner to adapt to the things that are new or in demand. Website owners decide whether they would make their websites responsive or not; depending on the needs of their audiences and other various reasons.

Reasons Not to Build Responsive Websites

Here are top 10 reasons why some webmasters are not building or transforming their websites into responsive ones. These reasoning are well accepted by many. But this list will also encourage you and those who are afraid to try creating a responsive website so that you can keep up with the tight and dynamic competition in business.

• I’ve Got No Time for that.

Most people are busy doing things for their business that they think they don’t have enough time to learn something new – say, learning how to build a responsive website. But do not let your busy schedule interrupt your learning, especially if it is for your business.

You have to make time to learn new things for your business or you are in the wrong field. To stay alive in business, you have to adapt to changes and learn the things that you need to embrace for the sake of your business or company.

• My Content wasn’t Really Designed to be this Flexible.

Many webmasters think that their content isn’t suited to the level of flexibility that a responsive website has. But most web content can be styled with CSS; thus, they can style their content however they want. This enables webmasters to have maximum flexibility on their web content and the design of their websites.

Do not let the kind of content of your website determine the possibilities of your website. You just have to make sure that your website is being useful to your audience, which is most important.

• I’m Not Comfortable Giving Up Control for the Design.

Often, people think that the web is fixed-width. They cram all of their content into containers and frames because they think that they should make their content and whole website inside a fixed-width for the comfort of their audience.

The Internet doesn’t have fixed-widths or boundaries. You can create great content arrangement on your responsive website if you know how to arrange your content.

• The Methods are Not for my Mature Tastes.

Many website owners are afraid to try building a responsive website because they think that the techniques that are used in building responsive websites are too undeveloped. But that is not quite true; responsive website design is over a year old now. The techniques have already been tested and proven.

Grab your chance already before you hit your head on the wall because the techniques are already too old for you to try.

• There are Issues with Browser Support.

Many people think that responsive websites need special plugins or browsers for them to work. But that is not true. Every browser that Internet users use supports adaptive websites. You do not have to worry about building a responsive website and having problems because your visitors cannot view your content or your entire website.

You only have to make sure that everything is working fine – the CSS is working fine and your files are being sent to the right browsers – so that your visitors can view your websites on any browser that they prefer.

• Mobile Devices can View the Site with No Problems at All.

Yes, mobile devices can view unresponsive websites just fine. But it takes too much zooming and scrolling just to read the entire content of an unresponsive website on a small mobile device. This is a big turn-off to visitors because they have to exert too much effort just to view the entire website.

If you want to make your website be frequented by mobile visitors more often, you should try upgrading your website into a responsive one.

• It’s Too Expensive.

Many webmasters think that building a responsive website is very expensive and not worth the upgrade. But that is not really the case. If you are going to ask website owners who have built responsive websites, you would find out that the cost of building a responsive website is not really that expensive. And though it is a bit pricey, the benefits of an adaptive website are well worth the expense.

Try to compute how much money you should be investing into your responsive website and you will be happy when you compare it with the beauty, flexibility and convenience of your new site.

• My Sites Don’t Get Much Mobile Traffic.

If you are going to analyze your traffic, you would see that most of your visitors are using various types of browsers and devices in viewing your site. This means that people are using mobile devices and other devices to view your website – not just desktops. This is the reason why you should make your website more presentable and convenient to your visitors – make your website responsive so that your viewers can view and browse your website conveniently.

• It’s Too Difficult to Maintain.

It is true that making changes to responsive websites can take a little more work and time than changing stuff on a regular website. But that doesn’t mean that it is very difficult to maintain. You just need to plan ahead and make sure that you are sure about the things that you want to include on your website so that you can save more time and resources in the long run.

It is not bad to make changes to make your website better; just make sure that you plan carefully.

• My Site’s Visitors have Different Expectations.

Yes, people have different expectations on websites depending on the device that they are using. Responsive websites are not substitute to mobile sites; they are websites created to make the browsing experience of Internet users more comfortable. But that doesn’t mean that you cannot use responsive websites to introduce your content to your mobile viewers. If you want to create a mobile site, then it is fine. But you can also use responsive websites to present your content and your company the convenient and pleasant way.
