On this post we will do our best to define all the existing SEO Hats and few of the used technics that they use to be wear a specific hat.

SEO Hat types

There are the two extremes black and white hats; these are the two known hats. However there are some experts who opted for remaining in between by wearing another hat different from the existing the Grey Hat SEO.

White Hat SEO

The White Hat SEO is the kind of practices that every SEO expert should adopt to avoid being blacklisted. These practices, in theory, are what search engines indicate and what webmasters and SEO expert should tiptoe. Search engines communicate to us the best practices that we should apply and follow to adopt our website to their bots. These criteria vary between online and offline practices. In few words, White Hat SEO is based on those practices that obey search engines guidelines.

• Unique and pertinent content to every specific website.
• Naturel link building.
• Respecting keywords density and let them appear naturally within the website.
• Updating the website with new content at least once a week.
• …etc.

Most of the time, webmasters start respecting and applying search engines guidelines. They follow them, but they don’t reach the expected results, especially for a short period which means that they have failed. Then, most of them start a new journey, seeking new ways to get traffic as fast as possible. They start experiencing banned ways to rank. Unfortunately they succeed to get the wished results. As a result, their SEO Hat begins changing color till it turns to be black completely.

The gray Hat SEO

The Gray Hat SEO as the color may indicate, it is a mixture between the two (white and black). Yes, it is the middle way between White Hat SEO and Black Hat SEO. Being a gray hat SEO is to mix the two to get results as fast as possible and avoid being blacklisted as much as possible. The Gray Hat SEO experts tend to use questionable technics; technics that search engine are frowning on but necessarily against their rules like the two following examples:

• Building a website by following search engine guidelines combined with links buying.
• Building a good website and optimizing few pages to respond to specific needs to drive more traffic by adding more keywords and external links.

The Black Hat SEO

Webmasters who wear Black Hat SEO do not hold on to reach their aims as fast as possible while White Hat SEO experts rely on patient and long-term strategy. What is too interesting is that the Black Hat SEO experts know a lot over search engines; surely White Hat SEO experts do so too. However, Black Hat SEO learns more over SEO bugs and how to exploit mischievously search engines’ guidelines. For example:

• Using hidden content.
• Backlinks buying.
• Keywords stuffing.
• Cloaking.
• Doorway pages.
• …etc.

In few words, Black SEO is the foxy scheme of using the search engines’ guidelines.

There are too many ways to cheat and to fool search engine to rank for specific keywords. However, Black Hat SEO practices will actually lead to short-term gains in terms of rankings. If you think about using them at least avoid the old practices and try to learn more over search engines’ guidelines and bugs. Do not use a spamming technique for a long time because search engine are evaluating and progressing and there are too many engineers working days and nights to discover their weak points.

To finish this post, I just want to add that we, SEO experts, are suffering from a big dilemma. That is to say, webmasters or SEO experts can be today White Hat SEO and tomorrow they will be banned and considered as Black Hat SEO. They said that these changes are due to the fact that search engine are changing their algorithms to be more pertinent vis-a-vis their users. But, are they seeking users satisfactory or to attract more announcers or is it just a win-win politics?

Email marketing is the act of using people’s email to keep in touch with them. It is considered as a direct mean to communicate with costumers, “to encourage customer loyalty and repeat business” or “to purchase something immediately”…etc. In few words, it is a simple and an easy way of advertising and communicating with costumers. Even though it is a simple and cheap way to keep in touch with costumers, it needs to be done properly.

Opt in and opt out email

• Opt-in email or permission marketing: companies who own such data base are lucky enough because it means that recipients agreed to receive and respond to emails. And, it is a good solution used by email marketing specialists to decrease email marketing disadvantages.
• Opt-out email marketing: is the opposite of opt-in email; it is the use of emails without any permission of the recipients. Most of the time, spammers work on them, they subscribe any email they own to an infinite chain of mailing list where recipients receive different kind of spamming emails of all kinds, and most of them are useless emails, aiming to promote illegal products.

To avoid falling into such dilemma, being a spammer who uses opt-out database, we will talk about the best practice to develop an opt-in email list:

Email database creation

Create a database that contains important fields that should be filled by users. For example: name, email, birth date, genre…etc. These fields should help you to collect the most important information that you need to accomplish your emailing marketing strategy. If your email marketing strategy offers more than one type of email, think about adding email preference. Please, remember to think about a way to designate the subscriber status.

How to collect email?

• Create a form on your website that permits to subscribers to log in using their emails.
• Each page should contain a field that permit to each user to subscribe to your database. The handed emails are personalized; they aim to receive a specific kind of emails. That is to say, they want to be alerted only when there is an updating or a news on that subject specifically.
• If you got a fan page on Facebook, you can personalize your FMBL app to collect emails from your fans who want to keep in touch and be informed.
• Attend conferences, workshops, seminars…etc. all events that are rounded your niche. If you can participate or sponsor them, it would be more interesting. Present yourself and your business then exchange business cards and ask them if they will be interested to be added to your emailing database.
• Ask your colleagues and friends to help you get emails with basic information or to exchange your business cards with people who may be interested in what you do.

Let’s presume that you have collected emails and that your opt-in database is big enough to start exploiting it to promote, encourage, loyalize, send newsletters and collect other potential emails.

How to create good emails?

The form of your emails plays a great role into your marketing campaign success. The more you adapt your email to the need of your recipients, the more collected emails you will have. Whenever you create a new email, try to apply the following basic practices:

• The content of your email should be base more on content than images, animations and html code. This content should be simple, coherent and short.
• Add a form search that permits to the recipients to search within your website without being forced to leave to the website.
• Give your user the opportunity to forward emails to friends by providing a forward link. This is an important step because it is a smart way to reach new people and collect new opt-in emails without effort. More than that, emails will be sent from your server which means that you will be able to track those who forward emails and all the following actions.
• Offer a subscribed link to facilitate subscription for the forwarded emails receiver. This way you are sure that those who received the forwarded email and want to subscribe are guided directly to the pursued page.
• Since email clients may block images and do not support html, provide a link to a website version.

These are the basic and the important practices that every email should contain. Then, experience will impose new things to be added like telephone number, a message to call for action when you propose other services that may interest you recipients, and an email address for feedback…etc.

We hope that these basic steps to follow will be a good help for those who want to start collecting, developing or exploiting an opt-in email database.

Google Adwords is the source of revenue for the king of the internet, Google. Adwords offers PPC (Pay-per-click) Advertising, Google Display network Advertising, rich-media Ads and banners. Adwords program offers the possibility to control Ads appearance on local, national or international.

How to set up google adwords account?

They are some steps that you need to do before setting up Adwords account, here is few of them:

• You need to define a strategy for that account before creating it. That is to say, to have a clear idea about the mean aim of that account.
• You need also to define an allocated monthly budget to be used for a month.
• Please, don’t forget the keywords that your Adwords campaigns will be over. Use some tools to conduct deep research to define your keywords list that you want to use on your Adwords campaigns.

Let’s presume that you have done the main steps that precede your accounts setting up and that you are ready to jump into the water and start swimming.

The basic Steps

• The first step: Set up a gmail account to create your AdWords account. Once you log into your Adwords account, you will be asked to name your first campaign then to set the location for your ads to appear. This information can be edited whenever you want.
• The second: It is time to decide over your network to display your ads. First choice, on google Search. Your ads will appear on google SEPRs only or google search engine and its search partner. By default, this step starts off by google and his partner. Second choice, on Google Display Network. This option will help you to enlarge your presence on the web. By choosing this your solution, you permit to google to disseminate your ads on websites pages to promote your business.
• Devices: You can choose the devices that your ads will appear on: Laptops and desktops.

Bidding and budget: to keep an eye over your biding, run it manually especially at the early stage. Even if it demands a lot of work but it worth it. By doing so, you will control and handle your ads. That’s to say, you will be able to keep an eye over your program. It will also help you to change and adopt your biding to fit your strategy goals. To facilitate your control, google offers you the possibility to set up your daily budget. More than that, there is other sophisticated way to track your campaigns and control them like AdWords conversion tracking set up.

• Position preference: On this step, you will need to choose the position on which your ads should appear. It is preferable to choose the Off option and let your budget defines your position not the other way.
• Delivery method: After defining your budget and position, it is time to define your delivery method. Automatically, google selects Standard delivery. Ads appearance, on this option, is influenced by your defined budget. This option fits more small budget campaigns or the first days of any other campaigns, the period of test. The second option is Accelerated delivery. This option is chosen to display and expose your Ads “as often as possible”. Using this option may be full of risks particularly if your campaign still new or you still lack knowledge over your niche. So, using Standard delivery is the best solution to tart with to be able to observe, organize and analyze your ads.
• Ad extensions: is the possibility to enlarge information over your business that you are promoting on your ads. This great quality permit to you to add a line, two or more to provide more information like “an address and phone number (location extensions and phone extensions), more page links (ad sitelinks), and product images (product extensions).” This additional option is for free there is no including charges. However, the advertiser is charged “for each click on ad that leads to his site, even if those clicks are on product images, additional links, or other features in the ad extensions family.”
• Ad schedule: this option is added to authorize to you to specify certain hours, days of the week for your ads to appear. You can specify time or days when google Adword should display Ads. Once again Adwords offers to you the ability to have a full control over your Ads.
• Ad rotation: You can write more than one text to each Adwords groups. Ad rotation permits to rotate the ads whenever they appear on one of Google Networks. Once again you have to choose between to solutions. The first, Optimize: this option is chosen by default. It gives more importance to text Ads with higher CTRs. The second, Rotate: It doesn’t care about the quality of Ads text (higher CTRs), it delivers all text ads equally.
• The last step Ad groups, Ads and keywords: while proceeding to create an Ad group, you will need to name it first. Then, you will have access the five fields: headline (The title of your Ad, 25 characters to exploit), description 1 and 2(35 characters for each line), display URL (URL that will be shown on the Ads) and destination URL (the url of your landing page).
• Keywords: Adding keywords is an important step that you need to pay attention to. You can use the “keyword” to match the ad exactly to the chosen phrase, [keyword] to match ads only to the exact term, -keyword to not match with the chosen term. Also, we should not forget the download option when you’re using hundreds of keywords.

These are the basic steps to start your first campaign on Google Awords. Don’t forget that this is just the beginning for a so long journey to improve your campaign to fit your aims and complete your online strategy.

Google Alerts: is one of Google’s most useful free programs for every webmaster and web-marketer. Google Alerts allows to every curious person to satisfy his curiosity by creating alerts that are sent via email every day, as it happens or once week. It is a simple way to keep tracking topics through the web without losing time on searching. All what you need is to select keywords or urls and Google will email you whenever new content is created over that topic on the web. But, how can we use Google Alerts and benefit from it?

How to create alerts on Google Alerts?

Check Google Alerts page. On this page you will find the following fields:

Create alerts: Click on that button and your alert is created.

Note: if you’re not using your Google account, you need to confirm your email to receive the first alert.

Now we know how to create alerts on Google Alerts. But,

How to use Google alerts?

1. Google alerts can be used to blog

   Before creating any alerts, you need to know exactly which of the queries are most sought by your audience. So, you need, before creating alerts, to use Google Adwords, and Google Insights Search to find the right keywords. Then, use them to create queries to follow via emails sent by Google Alert. All what you need to do then: is to check and analyze the content produced. I mean by analyzing the produced content, to take notes on how the content is written, how the keywords are spread over the blog, which keywords are used on h1, h2, strong and other tags, images, videos and so on. By gathering these elements you will learn a lot on your niche and how to be one of the best bloggers and to look as an expert in your field.

2. To watch your e-reputation

   Yes, Google Alerts can be a perfect tool to observe what is said over you, a brand name…etc. For example:

   If I am looking for my own name, I would prefer to place it into a phrase terms “Oussama Moursil”. This is a way to limit on the amount of results that other people who may have either the same first or last name as me. When I am creating alerts to keep hearing and observing the e-reputation of a specific brand, I choose as-it-happens, this way I am sure that I’ll be updated as soon as possible; and most of the time before the blog, the comment, the news…etc. will spread, I can react to prevent it or limit the damages or at least tell the concerned people about it and propose a solution if I am able to.

3. To create backlinks

   You can use Google Alerts to get backlinks. You will need to create alerts around queries that you want to rank for. As it is explained above, you will receive alerts via email, this time you will act differently: if it is a blog, a dofollow blog you need to comment it a sincere comment that proves that you’re engaged. If not you need to contact the blogger and tell him that you want to publish a post on his blog over the same subject and that there will be a little link within it that point to a page which deals with the same topic too. For sure, you have slight chances to receive a positive answer from the first try unless you’re a lucky person.

To put it in a nutshell, Google Alerts is an excellent tool to keep informed about your domain, name or brand. It is also a perfect way to remain up-to-date on the latest information in your niches or to observe your competitors. It’s also a great way to find out what other people are saying about you or your site.

To create a page there are the basic markup languages used to tell any browser how to expose the content of any page- HTML and CSS. These markup languages, most of the time, are combined with other database driven languages to permit more dynamism and interactivity. PHP, ASP, python are the most popular database driven languages. To make a website more attractive and communicative, web designers use videos, flash animations and so. However, there is always a question that imposes itself on all web designers: how to combine these technological tools to create a web page that displays content, functionalities and includes information that could interact with both Men and search engines?

On his PDF “Eight Principles of Information Architecture”, Dan Brown talked about the structures of a web page and how it should be designed. For him, these 8 basics principles should respect the structure and the presentation; it should have a good understanding of the users need and how they want the content and functionalities to be displayed; and, also, the information architect should be coherent with content and functionalities.

The 8 principles of information architecture are:

1. The principle of objects
2. The principle of choices
3. The principle of disclosure
4. The principle of exemplars
5. The principle of front doors
6. The principle of multiple classification
7. The principle of focused navigation
8. The principle of growth

For more information: Eight Principles of Information Architecture

To apply the above principles, we need to answer the following two questions: Where I am? And what can I do? That is to say, when a user comes to a page (land on it), it should provide everything that he is looking for by being clear and simple. It should also call for action which is the answer to what can I do? Most of the time, when a user landed on a page, he is ready to take action but if he isn’t guided, he may leave without performing the desired action. That’s what happens. This is due, unfortunately, to less importance given the internal pages by designers.

Every single page on a website should be treated as landing page since that search engines do not treat a web site as a single and unique book. They treat every single page as a single unity. So, every single page should be treated as a landing page. More than that, 50% of users may land on internal pages and not the front page. Every page of a website should reply the above question.

Concerning the front page, it is the page that has more importance; it is the image of the website and the first contact with users. Therefore, how should it be? The front page should tell, define and classify websites which means that it should tell every landing user, what is a website about? And, what they could do? Though this doesn’t mean that it is needed to link to every part of content, it is preferable to link to categories or to the most visited pages. The home page should focus more on helping users to find their way while they are on the website by linking to the most important content of the website.

Finally, the web design job is helping people find their way. While helping users to find easily the content that they are looking for, they should perform specific action that web site owner are spending money for. Thus, web designer is the medium between user and owner and its job to satisfy both of them.

Directories

Even though directories are the oldest way to gain backlinks, they still the easiest and the free-way to gain backlinks. Yes, I know that the gained backlinks are nearly valueless. Nearly is not completely. Therefore, they can help if you got a bunch of them; and if you know how to choose the good directories, the fittest categories to your websites too. As far as I am concerned, I use directories to increase quantity of links. I should notice that sometimes few of them may turn to be quality backlinks.

Articles

“Why shall I create content and be forced to produce articles or hire someone to do that? I need backlinks not content. Could you explain what the relation is between producing articles and backlinks?” So, the answer is as the following, they are too many blogs, websites and bookmarks that generate content by publishing articles provided by people like me and you. “So what? Where is my backlink?” Blogs that publish such kind of articles, they permit you to add anchors to your articles. The numbers of anchors vary due to the number of words on each article:

• Articles of 300words = one anchor.
• Articles of 500words = two anchors.
• Articles of 700words and more = three anchors.

So, articles are a good way to get backlinks. Oh, yes they are, on condition, to produce relevant unique content that will push reader to share it on social websites and bloggers to refer to it on their blogs. If you succeed to create such buzz the article’s PR will raise and your website/blog will profit from that.

Press release

Press release has nothing to do with articles. They don’t support the use of jargon; they should be done the old way –a simple, structured and well-developed text. The purpose of press release is to announce something claimed as having new values. You can use them to promote and talk about your niche. Within your press release, you can use anchors text links too. And, remember like articles try to right excellent press release.

Blog Commenting and forum participation

Backlink could be generated from blogs commenting. It is better to find dofollow blogs that converse over the same subject. Comment the blog itself and avoid general and stupid comments, especially, automatic comments. Just to be honest and express your feeling, let the blogger feel that he is reading a human comment not robot one. Commenting on blogs is a profitable way to gain good backlinks, integrate and influence a specific community.

Forum participation is harder than blog commenting because it may hurt your business if you don’t know how to do it. To put a signature (anchor text link) on a forum you need to be careful and avoid being thought as a spammer. If so, most of the time your account will be blocked and you will receive negative comment. To avoid such embarrassing situation, participate more than once on that forum by answering and commenting on deferent subjects. Then, try to find a subject that you link may be a solution to it then propose it. You link should look naturel as much as possible.

These are, for me, the best and the easiest way to gain relevant, naturel backlinks. All what you need to do is to learn over your niche, your audience and analyze your competitors, and then choose your keywords that you want to rank for. I know that there are too many other ways but some of them that I’ll talk over on one of the next blogs.

Our aim is to help and participate into the evolution of blogs design and to increase the number of bloggers. We will be please if you leave a comment and express yourself freely when you download a PSD blog template and tell us your opinion. Interaction = evolution.

What is social media?

A website utilizes the concept of web 2.0 is part of social media. So, what is web 2.0? Web 2.0 is based on interaction. Meaning by interaction is permitting the user to participate -to turn from a passive receiver, whose actions are limited to search, choose then get, to an active user, who provides, expresses, develops and criticizes the content provided by a website. Yes, it is the user who provides, creates, criticizes and enriches content. Social media is web sites that engage the users into multi-directional conversations in or around its content.

Social media and traffic

Social media is one of the best ways to get traffic from. It is a place where people gather and exchange opinions, videos, articles, photos…etc -any kind of information that you may never think about is a subject right there. So, your presence is so important, you need to be there within and part of that crowd, then to be able to build your own community which means getting traffic whenever you publish or promote something.

There is two kind of traffic received from social media Primary and Secondary Traffic:

• Primary traffic: is the traffic that you receive directly from social media websites.
• Secondary Traffic: is the number of visits that you generate via web sites that link to you when they come across your content via social media.

Social media and backlinks

We all know that getting natural and permanent backlinks is the hardest part of the offline optimization. Even though it is a hard task to realize, you fight for and do your best to get backlinks from domain names with a high PageRank and that search engine trusts. You need them because and you are sure that if those backlinks are well-organized, you can start ranking for competitive keywords.

If you are a successful community manager, you will receive valuable backlinks for free. Acting within a community will guarantee the borrowing of the trust and PR juice of other websites. This may happen in too many cases i.e.: when you will be considered as a source of inspiration or into a citation and so.

Social media and competitors

It is too hard to keep an eye over your major competitors. You can use social media for that purpose too. One of the benefits of social media is the ability to keep an eye over all your competitors. You can subscribe to their fan page on facebook to learn everything over them. You can like any message that they publish on their wall to be alerted whenever they receive a comment, and learn how they interact with their community. You can also organize them on twitter lists. As far as I am concerned, twitter lists are the best way to observe your competitors. Therefore, using social media facilitate tracking your competitors without being forced spy them and their websites.

To be able to generate traffic, get backlinks and observe your opponents. First, you need to establish a good social media marketing strategy that aims to establish confidence between you and the chosen community. This can be realized only by availability, being present and ready to answer questions and responds to requests. Integrate your public or their ideas into your Innovations and productions. Users of social media like interaction and human presence.

These are some basic tips that should be applied to websites new or old:

Directories submission

This is the old and basic way to gain backlinks. It is clear that most of the backlinks that you get back from directories are not too relevant. On the other hand, they help to drive traffic and ranking. Results depend also on directories and categories choices.

Article submission

Create a specific type of articles to fit targeted keywords to be submitted on websites and bookmarks that permit such activity. Keywords should be well-split over each article to avoid falling into the trip of being a spammer. Think about title, keywords position and anchor before submission, too.

Press release submission

Press release is one of the best ways to rank quickly for specific keywords. Press release helps you to rank, and sometimes to multiply your spots on the SERPs. The advantages of press release are too many, it helps to rank, gain visibility and to appear on Google News. Furthermore, it is a good way to escape “Google Sandbox”.

Bookmarking

You can generate backlinks also by bookmarking your website. This is a little bit hard way to get backlinks since it depends on co-working. Collaborating with a community is the best solution to get a relevant backlinks from bookmarks. However, before proceeding to such practice, you need to look for a list of dofollow bookmarks.

Link exchange

Recently, it is believed that Google does not lean towards link exchange. It is not true if you start and proceed the right way. For example: don’t exchange links with suspicious websites, exchange links with websites that speaks over the same theme, and it is favored to exchange links with web sites of the same age and page rank. Link exchange is the fundamental and the basic step that SEO experts rely on to get valuable backlinks.

Social media optimization

Social media helps to generate traffic, optimize brand/product image. It helps also to index new pages as fast as possible and to follow observe and analyze your concurrent presence on the web. That is to say that social media is the best way to say updated and remain on the battle field. Yes, web is a battle field those who survive are leaders (always the first to create and innovate) or observers (those who observe learn and familiarize every new technique to fit their niche).

Comments on blogs and forums

One of my friends, an SEO expert, told me that he has been able to rank for specific keywords only by comments. To be able to rank for keywords only by comment, you need: choose good blogs and popular forums. Good blogs means dofollow blogs with higher PageRank. Popular forums need to be dealing with the same theme. While commenting on blogs avoid general comments and write pertinent ones. Forums are too hard to get links from. They need patient and participation. If they feel that you are spamming them, they will write something not good over you, the link you’re trying to promote and they may even block your account. So, if you’re not too patient and do not have the spirit of community and participation avoid forums.

To conclude, these are the basic tips that you need to follow to gain visibility on the web and precious backlinks. If you respect them and organize your actions, you will be able to rank for competitive keywords without being forced to spam search engines.

1 – Accessify

Accessify.com started life late 2002 as a need to pull together a number of disparate tools that Ian Lloyd had created, tools which filled in the gaps that HTML authoring packages had at the time. These formed the core of the site – the tools and wizards – and with a news update, Accessify was born.

Since that time, many of the web authoring tools (e.g. Dreamweaver) have improved their accessibility support, making the tools and wizards on this site less critical, but these tools can still save developers time (for example, the list-o-matic, skipnav builder and markup maker tools). So, what new tools would be useful to have on this site? Perhaps some ARIA tools? Let us know what you think.

2 – CSSCreator

The layout generated has changed significantly from previous versions. The main reason for change was to simplify the layout and in doing so make it easier to use. It no longer provides fixed width columns with fluid center or full length columns by default.

This generator will create a fluid or fixed width floated column layout, with up to 3 columns and with header and footer. Values can be specified in either pixels, ems or percentages.

3 – CSS Grid Calculator

Use the CSS Grid Calculator to quickly visualize page layout and draw grids in a variety of ways. It provides accurate visual feedback on how text blocks and page divisions will appear within a browser window, and returns style declarations for divisions and text to copy and paste into style sheets. The Flash player plugin version 7 is required.
Grids are drawn to page edges and margins when they are set, or to the dimensions of the default page, 1280 pixels wide by 1024 pixels high. The unit of measurement for text is the pixel.

4 – CSS Rounded Box Generator

5 – CSS Compressor

The CSS Compressor makes major changes to stylesheets and is still in developement, so it may not work correctly.
Hacks may cause problems, for best results you should remove them.

I know that I am dramatizing. But, truly, it is too painful when you are obliged to tell a client, who is too proud of his website just because it is beautiful, that he has to rebuild it. His direct response is why? Then, you feel obliged, again, to explain the SEO basic steps that they should have been respected while creating websites:

Domain name

It is the first step that you need to think about. Why?

• Because the domain name, will help you to rank. It should be simple, short (if it is possible) and easy to be remembered. It should be original and it should reflect your niche.
• The domain name extension is also important. Because they have their own meaning too:
  
  1. .com originally used for commercial purposes.
  2. .net it is the alternative of .com.
  3. .org for none profit use.
  4. There is the local extension that fits every country for local business. It is based on two-letter ISO designation.

Server selection

Try to find the best server which will respond to the needs of your business. Check if it hosts blacklisted website. Servers hosting backlisted websites may have bad impact on your website. If you’re aiming to reach users of a specific country, it is preferable to host your websites on that country.

Choosing Keywords

Try to define keywords that you want to rank for. They should be related to your niche. Make a list and organize it starting by the important keywords to the less important. Then, base your SEO strategy over them.

Please, don’t forget that this is the most important step. If you make the wrong choices, you will lose time and money.

Meta tag title and description

Most of the time search engines display these two Meta tags. Because they are part of the search engines algorithm and they are your first contact with users, you have to think about your titles and descriptions deeply before start using them. Don’t forget that they should contain your chosen keywords on step N°2.

Content is a king

That is to say that search engines are in love with content. Do you want to rank? Produce content that user and search engines will adore. I insist on the use of the chosen keywords again. Don’t over use them to avoid being considered as a spammer. Each page should focus on one or two mean keywords that should be scattered wisely on over the post.

Body tags

Good contents demand the exact tags to shine more and attract bots. Tags that will help into your on-page optimization are:

• H1 Tag: should be used once on each page and it contain the mean keywords.
• H2, h3, h4… Tags: should be used for subtitles.
• Strong & em Tags: are used to identify the important keywords. This tag helps both user and bots to learn more over the page content.

These tags should be present on each page. They participate into the organization of your pages and facilitate the indexation of your content.

Videos and images

Bots could not see images nor read videos. However, they play a great role on the web site usability and heuristic.
The solution to that problem: add images to sitemap xml file, create xml sitemap for your videos. Please, don’t forget the attribute alt=” “.

URL rewriting

All your URLs should be seo friendly URLs. Avoid dynamic urls that confuse both users and bots.

Internal linking

This step is too important that they are some SEO experts who are specialized only on internal linking. A good internal linking will play an important role to decrease the bounce rate and to increase your PageRank and conversions.

These are the basic steps that normally every websites should be born with. I hope that you will take them into consideration while creating new websites or to apply them on your online website if it not already the case.

DesignCrowd gives you access to a ‘virtual team’ of 17,946 designers from around the world (via a process called crowdsourcing) – helping you to tap into the very best international design talent available, at a low cost. Post a project on DesignCrowd and watch designs pour in from around the world (the average project receives 50+ designs).

DesignCrowd

We pride ourselves on quality (not just quantity) – DesignCrowd uses “Crowdsourcing 2.0″ a fairer, sustainable, higher quality crowdsourcing where every designer can get paid and customers can browse our top graphic designers and hand-pick their favourites.

Step 1

Launch Photoshop. Press {Ctrl+N} for a new document.

Step 2

Here I am creating it in a size of 1088 x638 pixels for demonstration purposes. You can later resize it to your need.

Step 3

It’s good to select an image like this. Open the picture in Photoshop. Select the Flower Vase. Let’s search for a royalty free image of a flower Vase. It is important that we must get only royalty free if not purchasing any images. We can very well get high quality picture for reasonable rates from various stock photo web sites. If you are not interested in it let your self choose another alternative which is a royalty free image. Well let’s continue.

Step 4

Open the picture in Photoshop. Look at the picture below.

Step 5

Now select the white part of the picture carefully with a lasso tool.
You must make the picture transparent because the slight color differences my result in a bad output.

Make it an image with transparent background as above. We can use this image for any artwork related to flower shop in future. So save a copy now separately.

Step 6

Fill white color in new layer and drag below flower vase layer. It will make the image standout a little bit.

You should see the marching ants clearly.
Select Ctrl+A to select and press Ctrl+c to copy the flower vase image. To the base document (reopen the 1088 x638 pixel template) you first created.

Step 7

Ctrl+V to paste the flower vase to it and choose transform tool to make it fit. Arrange it.

Step 8

Transform tool help us to arrange the image as we like with out distortion to the left side of the document as shown in the picture below.

Step 9

Select the background and create a new layer.

Step 10

Use elliptical marquee tool to select oval shape. As shown in the picture. This is an easy way to create a curved shape with out making much fuzz.
Then select inverse from selections palette.

Step 11

Select gradient from the Photoshop palette to create an attractive background.

Fill color using gradient tool and deselect the selection.

Step 12

Select the type tool and type the company name right side of the card.I am using a size 18 font for the font you can use 12. It can be used according to your interest.

Step 13

Type the address on the card as shown above. You can use a small size 10 font for the same.
Now your card is ready to print. Now you can enjoy doing experiments with this.

A netsetter is an entrepreneur who understands what the Internet means for making money, starting businesses and changing the way they live.




A netsetter realizes that the Internet means you can bootstrap almost any endeavor until it becomes profitable.

A netsetter realizes that geographical location no longer prohibits collaboration between anyone.

A netsetter knows that just because you have employees doesn’t mean you need an office. You might not have even met them.

A netsetter doesn’t dream about four hour work weeks and location independent businesses. They create them.

Or, they create their dream business and work every waking hour.

It’s about throwing off the trappings of yesterday’s culture and embracing the possibilities and opportunties that have been made available to us through the Internet.

There’s a work revolution occurring across the globe. There are full-time employees doing their jobs effectively from their own home. There are freelancers who can meet more clients in a day through social networking than they could have through a month of real world networking before. Almost anyone can afford a virtual assistant—assistants don’t just sit outside executive’s doors anymore.

There are large teams of people meeting corporate objectives from locations all over the globe without ever having met face-to-face. And, leading the charge, there are the netsetters—the everyday people who are taking up their own causes and making a living on their own two feet, spreading their ideas, employing their own remotely distributed teams.

In early 2009, Envato CEO Collis Ta’eed started the Netsetter as a place to discuss startups. We’ve evidently grown to cover a lot more today, but here’s what Collis said at the time, shedding some light on the origins of the term “netsetter”:

“With the barriers to starting your own online business getting lower and lower, there’s a growing class of online entrepreneurs that I sometimes call the net set, kinda like that old term the jet set – which doesn’t make much sense any more now that I think about it. From that term came the name of this blog, because I hope that you dear reader are a fellow netsetter!”

If you realize that you can change your life, your income and the way you work through the power of the Internet, you are a netsetter.

PSD to HTML Industry has become competitive, the industry is flooded with small to big service providers to freelancers offering the service at various price. Today’s customers have a lot of options before them, but still choosing the right service provider among the crowd is really challenging, especially when almost all the service providers promise the same Quality and features in their services, but how many really deliver on their promises is really what you have to look for. A few service providers offer high quality service but the price may be too high that you cannot afford and a few others may offer a low priced service, but the result they deliver to you might be a disaster. You need to take a smart decision, do a small research about companies, and compare pricing and quality of work before placing an order.

One of my friends who is a web designer, shared with me about a PSD to HTML service provider, to whom he placed an order for conversion, that too at the rate of $ 49 for home page and at 50% discount for all inner pages, I was a bit surprised, then I enquired about their service and the final result that was delivered, expecting that he would show his dissatisfaction about the work, because many low cost service providers fail to fulfill customer expectation, but his answer again surprised me, he said “ He was delivered a quality work that any good service provider would and at the cost mentioned in their site ($ 49 ) . The service provider is xhtmljunction.com, once I heard a word about them from my friend; I went to their site to go through and to see what they offer and also started to look for information about them. I found everything that my friend was telling about them at their site including the rate i.e $49 for home page, 50% discount for inner pages, more importantly being a low cost service provider they have worked with some good brands like Elance, National, British Columbia Institute of Technology. I thought about giving my project to them too, then I got an idea that let me first check the work they delivered to my friend, I reviewed the coded files, code was pixel perfect, W3C Validated, clean and 100% css based. So I decided to place an order, I called them on their toll free number mentioned on the site. They assisted me very well, provided me all the information patiently and handled all my queries efficiently; finally I placed the order and expected the same result for my project too. To my surprise, I got the project delivered in less than 8 hours. A few hours after I received a mail from them, asking me to write a review for them. They offered to give me a discount for the next project in exchange for writing a review, because nothing comes free of cost in this world. That’s how I got to write this review for them.

They have been in this field for last 5 years and still continue to grow, a team of professionals, which strive to produce the best of the outputs. The coding of all the websites is done keeping in view the web standards.

They accept design in any format (PSD, AI, PNG, JPEG, etc) and convert it to XHTML/CSS markup. Delivery is made within 8 hours. The code is W3C Validated, cross browser compatible and Search engine friendly.

A few Features and services worthy to be considered…

• Quick turnaround- They Promise to deliver Homepage within 8 hours and they kept their promise.
• Reasonable rates - Great package, minimal rates with no hidden cost. This point is the real highlight. $49 for home page and 50% discount for inner pages and that too with all the general features provided by major service providers like Cross Browser Compatibility, SEO Semantic Xhtml Code, Operating System Compatibility, W3C Validated etc.
• Search engine friendly code – They pay extra attention to load time, code to content ration etc to make the code search engine optimized.
• Software Integration - They offer XHTML template design and integration services with 3rd party web applications including Word press, Magento, Joomla and more…
• 24/7 customer support – Communication network through phone, email, instant message, and live chat.
• Experience: Though they provide a low cost service, they have over 5 years of experience and have coded more than 3000 pages, as mentioned in their site.
• NDA- They guarantees confidentiality of the all files and information. They assure you that they won’t contact your client.
• Clients – They have worked for some good brands like Elance, British Columbia Institute of Technology, National etc.
• Money Back Guarantee: Here is another good reason. In case the customer is not fully satisfied, they would work till every issue is addressed. Even after that if the customer remains unsatisfied, they promise 100% money refund. (I got detailed information over the phone) and they have also mentioned money back guarantee at their order page.

I was truly amazed by their lovely portfoliosite; I must say that they have done some superb work.

Finally, concluding the review, if you are looking for a service provider who can deliver a quality work at a low price, I would suggest xhtmljunction.com.

Create an Animated Banner Ad in Photoshop CS5

Animated Gif files have been the butt of many jokes within the design community. That is because animated gifs are famous for being a bit cheesy and notorious for cluttering up a page. Used properly however, animation can draw interest to an otherwise overlooked area of a page. Today, we will demonstrate how to use Photoshop to create an animated gif in Photoshop CS5. Let’s get started!

Create 3D type art using Photoshop CS5

The new 3D tools in Photoshop CS5 are more advanced than ever. In this tutorial we will use the new Repoussé tool to extrude some text in a way previously only possible in a full 3D application.

3D Water Text Effect with Repoussé in Photoshop CS5

Last year I wrote a tutorial called Incredibly Realistic Water Text in Cinema 4D and Photoshop where I created a text made out of water. I had to use Cinema 4D to create a 3D object then I imported this 3D file in Photoshop where I mixed with some stock photos. Now with Photoshop CS5 Extended and the Repoussé tool we can create 3D objects direct in Photoshop, so I decided to recreate that effect.

Playing with Inflate in Repoussé in Photoshop CS5 Extended

Adobe has just released the CS5 family and you can download the trials including the new Photoshop CS5 Extended. With this new version we have the Repoussé feature which allows us to create 3D objects in Photoshop. The last tutorial I showed you how to create a simple extruded text, now in this tutorial I will show you the Inflate option in Repoussé.

Creating a WordPress theme from scratch is not hard. I’ll hold your hand through it.

Tutorials on this topic have been written before and the WordPress website also has guides for you to follow. But are those tutorials and guides really helpful to you when you don’t understand the lingo? Even I got lost while reading the WordPress guides.

Themetation

Before that, you need to download and install a localhost in your pc. I am using xampp for this. After that, download wordpress from wordpress official website. Then, we will use the default theme to start the wordpress implementation. Below is the main sections that we need to take care with. I also create a few extra files for the theme we are going to build.

Following on from the recent article on “PSD to HTML”, this tutorial will look at taking a HTML/CSS template and turning it into a functioning WordPress theme. There is so much you can do when creating your own theme we couldn’t nearly cover it all. So, we’re going to look at how themes are structured, creation of the core files and splitting up that index.html file.

This is the Chapter II of the Complete WordPress Theme Guide series. This chapter will show you how to build a custom WordPress theme. Although the Codex site provides very good documentations on how to create a theme, but I find it too complicated for a beginner. In this tutorial, I will explain the basics of how WordPress theme works and show you how to convert a static HTML template into a theme. No PHP skill is required, but you need Photoshop and CSS skills to create your own design.

Back in 2005, I wrote a little tutorial for WordPress 1.5 on how to integrate wordpress with an existing website. Since then, with the release of WordPress 2.x, working with WordPress has become even easier. This tutorial is an update to my original tutorial and as it appears under a different name, I want to take a moment to clarify who this tutorial is for.

This tutorial is especially for:

• People interested in learning how to build a WordPress theme from scratch or, more specifically, for those interested in taking an existing design and converting it into a beautifully working WordPress theme.
• People interested in integrating WordPress with their existing website. As touched on lightly in my first tutorial, the best way to go about integration, in my experience, is to take your existing website and build a WordPress theme out of it, then apply that theme to your WordPress blog and voila, if all has gone well you have a perfect integration. It can require some handiness with CSS, but the principles covered in this tutorial will get you well on your way.

Over the last few weeks, I have been been doing a video screencast series on Designing for WordPress. It is a three-part series which covers downloading and installing WordPress on a server all the way to a completed theme.

WordPress is the most popular and the best (in my opinion) blogging platform, created by Automattic. It’s really easy to use and it’s very powerful, giving you the opportunity to build any kind of site, from blogs to shopping carts and CMS’s. In this series of tutorials, we are going to create our first WordPress theme. For this tutorial you need to have a little more than basic knowledge about HTML and CSS. Let’s get started.You can Download source files and you can also Live preview the theme here. It’s a basic css layout so it will be easy for beginners to convert it into a working WordPress theme.

Dezinerfolio

WordPress is one of the most successful blogging platform which we too are currently on. From the past few articles we have been giving out a few cool wordpress themes for download. Instead of coming up with some more themes, we decided to write a tutorial on how to develop a wordpress theme which we are sure will help a lot of you to design as you wish and bring them out into wordpress. We are not too advanced wordpress developers but still we are sure the below tutorial will help you successfully develop a wordpress theme. Below you will learn to convert your xHTML CSS site into a Compact WordPress Theme (final output is same as the normal theme but here code is shorter and easier to understand).

Conversion Xhtml / Css :

I offer the service of converting the template in xhtml / css from 4$, contact me for more information : support@depotwebdesigner.com

Now-a-days web designing has totally changed from old Heavy Html pages to Xhtml and css combinations. Which are very attractive and accessible to every user no matter what ever media they uses to browse the web like mobile phones, PDA’S, screen readers, TV etc which are part of the changing world.

Building an accessible web site is a holistic endeavor. In order to provide easy access to various information on each page multiple factors are to be considered. One of the important thing among them is the navigation menu. For this following universally recognized standards in web design and construction is very important. This ensures that the widest possible variety of devices will be able to read your website — now and in the future. Navigation menu is the important and the key factor which enables the site user to move within your pages. My priority on design will be to design a css menu compatible with all browsers.

One trend in menu design is to create menus in tabular form — that is, menu items that look like the tabs at the top of paper files.

This method of creating menus is popular for a couple of reasons:

• The structure is very good example in the case of accessible navigation.
• The structure more closely resembles the menus found in most computer applications.
• The structure is created from components that don’t lose their visual meaning if the styling is not present.
• The structure is very light and loads faster than flash and traditional rollover menus

The importance of the first reason is very significant. Because when accessibility is there in the menu any model of browsers and tools can be used for browsing the web site. Which will be a very easy task for the user.

The importance of the second reason should be apparent — after years of revolutionary changes in web development, we can start to emulate the rest of the computer world by putting distinct blocks across the top of a page.

The third reason makes more sense when you consider what most tabular menus are constructed of unnumbered list command. Because every menu and submenu in Css is created by using lists or list elements

Eg :

<ul>
<li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/news.php">News</a></li>
<li><a href="/bio.php">Biography</a></li>
</ul>

Use of list elements in their construction makes a lot of sense; and, of course, if a list is broken down into its base components due to the absence of fancy styles, it retains its meaning and hierarchy which is a plus.

The fourth reason is the one of the main reason which attract more designers and developers into it, is the simplicity and the ability to deliver a fast result which loads in no time compared to old rollover and flash buttons which were more heavier than this.

And one more thing, a list menu means a vertical navigation in orientation which can be displayed horizontally using the display property and setting it to in-line effectively takes a block element and at the end become an in-line one. I have given a very useful code below for making a menu for your own use. Please click the blue line" The code that generates this menu is as follows:"for viewing the code. Hope this will be a very useful peace of tool for you.

The neutral colors are taken from a Behr Premium Plus Interior/Exterior paint color swatch found at a hardware store. The paper was scanned into Paint Shop Pro, where the swatch color was averaged and extracted. Colors with a blue or green tint are termed cool, while colors with a red or yellow tint are warm. Grays and white are totally neutral. Neutral colors can be used as background colors for tables and pages.

Do not use the color names in your code, because they are non-standard. Use either the HEX or RGB values.

It is possible to run Internet Explorer in standalone mode without having to over-write previous versions thanks to Joe Maddalone who came up with a way of achieving that in November 2003. Basically, Internet Explorer is run by exploiting a known workaround to DLL hell – which was introduced in Windows 2000 and later versions – called DLL redirection.

Final Preview

Here one more interesting tutorial about how to design interesting stylish advert in just a few steps.

Get started by creating a new document about 700×500 pixels, resolution (DPI) of 72 pixels and then fill it with linear gradient using colors #0582ae and #0ab7db.

Ok, after that find a nice, suitable stock photo to work with. For this you’ll want to use one of the stock photo websites. Also you can use my own picture. Open up the picture and copy it to the main canvas. Then apply the Rectangular Marquee Tool to create selection as on my picture below.

Invert selection with Select > Inverse or press Crtl+Shift+I and clear selected area with Delete button.

Remove selection using Select > Deselect and continue the tutorial. Apply following Blending Options to the current layer:
• Inner Glow
• Stroke

See the result below:

Then create a new layer below photo border, select the Polygonal Lasso Tool and create selection like mine and after that fill it with black color.

Deselect chosen area with Select > Deselect (or press Ctrl+D) and apply Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur with following parameters.

After that change layer opacity to 35%.

Press Ctrl+J to duplicate layer, then use Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal to flip copied layer horizontal and move right under the second corner of the photo.

Now, move to the next step. Select the Pen Tool and draw a shape like a ribbon with color #aa2041 on top left corner. We will put advertise text here in future.

Apply the following layer styles:
• Drop Shadow
• Inner Glow
• Gradient Overlay

Now, we get the next result:

Create a new one layer above and merge it with previous to get all effects in one layer. After that select the Polygonal Lasso Tool to create selection as on my picture below. Press Delete button to clear selected area.

Create a new one selection, now, apply the Dodge Tool (Brush: 65 px, Range: Highlights, Exposure: 50%) to make brighter part of the ribbon.

Remove selection with Select > Deselect. Apply again Dodge Tool, but pay your attention that we’ve have changes some of presets: Brush: 7 px, Range: Midtones, Exposure: 50%.

Now it’s time to add text. Use the Horizontal Type Tool and write out something like ‘Best Choice!’ with white color. Apply Edit > Transform > Free Transform to rotate the text.

I’ll just be using the font called AvantGarde for this tutorial, which is commercial. Then add another one ribbon in the right lower corner in the same way.

We are done! Here is fully stylish advert. Thanks for the reading this tutorial. I hope you enjoyed it, even just a little bit.

It’s well known that Apple is one of the most creative and innovative companies in the world, so it’s no wonder that many software companies and web designers would choose to follow Apple’s style of branding.

The Apple website is one of the best websites out there due to its ease of use, functionality and the beautiful environment that it creates.

I looked at websites that use one or more design elements inspired by Apple.com. Some of these sites sell Mac software and apps, so it makes sense for them to keep the same Apple look and feel. Consider this though: How many software companies that develop for Windows, choose to brand their websites to look like Vista? I have included a few screenshots of the Apple website, just in case you haven’t never seen it before.
