Microsoft Expression website editor

webwizdirect@2geckos.com (Roger Biel) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Website Editor

Several of my clients like to do some of their own website updates, I use the Microsoft Expression Web (replaces FrontPage)
Ive found Expression Web very easy to use, if youve used Microsoft Publisher or PowerPoint you'll find many of the same types of menus. Once you get it Ill be happy to help you get started. You'll be able to edit most parts of the website but will protect the menus and other items that may affect the entire site. I maintain backups and can restore the site if something goes wrong.

Search Engine Optimization

Getting your site submitted in the major search engines is an important part of a web site marketing strategy.

Search engine ranking placement is how high you rank on a keyword in a search in a search engine.

Not all keywords have the same benefits, choosing the right keywords are a very important part in marketing your Web site.

In my most successful Web site the best keyword gets only about 3% of total traffic and search engine ranking placement is one way to partially measure the success of a Web site.

● Your pages should have proper title & meta tags before you submit to the search engines.

	Major Search Engines	Bulk Submit
	Google	Submit Express
	Bing	Fast Submit
	Yahoo!	Digg
