Eight Search Engine usability tips to improve your website’s ranking
Eight Search Engine usability tips to improve your website’s ranking
When analyzing your website’s search engine rankings, most of the emphasis has been placed on developing excellent content. The phrase “content is king” is found in numerous articles, which discuss search engine optimization. Unfortunately the concept of usability is rarely discussed. Usability is important and the major search engines are emphasizing this idea. Panda 4.0 is mainly about content, but several aspects of the Panda 4.0 2014 update focus on usability. In this article we will provide eight solid suggestions, which you can use to improve the user experience for your webpages.
1. Find accessibility issues
Google Webmaster Tools is the best place to search for any accessibility issues your website could possibly have. This free software will help you understand what is going on with your website.
A partner to Google Analytics, Webmaster Tools is more focused on the technical aspects of your website.
Google discovers your site’s content by sending out what is often known as a ‘spider’ to crawl your site’s pages. This bot moves around from link to link, cataloguing and/or indexing what it finds. When the spider attempts to look at a page, your server will return a HTTP status code in response. This code gives the Google spider key information about your page.
Once you are logged into your Webmaster Tools account you can check to see if Google’s spider has found any crawling errors on your website. For example, it may find a ‘404 error’ which means ‘your page is not found’.
2. Simplify your URL structure
Having a good site structure will greatly improve your chance of ranking well in Google’s results. By making your URL structure clear will simply allow search engines to easily find your most important content as well as helping your users to enjoy an excellent user experience.
I recommend using a simple structure. All of your important content should be positioned within two clicks of your homepage when this is possible.
Your users will likely assume that your most important content is close to your homepage, as will search engines. Successful search engines are designed to copy user behavior.
3. Create an XML sitemap
Another way to let Google know which pages you consider important is by creating an XML sitemap.
An XML sitemap is a text file that maps your site and makes sure search engines crawl and index your pages on your website efficiently. Google has a free XML sitemap and I’ve personally observed that when a website adapts Google’s XML sitemap their rankings greatly improve. It stands to reason because the sitemap is created by Google.
Your sitemap will communicate other useful information to Google – such as which pages you consider to be the most important and which have been changed recently.
4. Check your robots.txt file
A standard method of communicating with Google’s spider is to use a Robots.txt file.
This is a text file that allows you to tell search engines which of your site’s pages you want to crawl and which not to index. If your site already has this file, it’s usually found at yoursite.com/robots.txt
Here is an example of what your robots file may say:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
The “Disallow: /” line tells the spider not to crawl the site. In practice this means you’re instructing Google not to include any of your pages to be indexed in their search results.
5. Identify duplicate content
Duplicate content is a very important SEO issue.
Google may not show your pages in its results if it finds multiple versions of a page. This means your site is likely to suffer.
A common example of duplicate content is as follows:
www.yoursite.com www.YOURSITE.com
You may believe these are one of the same but this is not necessarily the case. Google could see each version as a separate page. This would cause a problem with your rankings.
Other common duplication examples are listed below:
I. Architecture
Duplicate content is common on ecommerce sites. This problem commonly occurs when a product on the site is placed into more than one category with the site’s architecture not correctly setup to accommodate this properly.
Although this may make sense to a user, from a search engine’s point of view it is classed as duplication.
ii. HTTP vs HTTPs
HTTPs session can also cause duplicate content. HTTPs pages are secure, often for logins, shopping baskets and payment transactions – they provide an encrypted connection, making them more secure than a typical HTTP page.
If a page is accessible via both HTTP and HTTPs this may cause duplication issues.
iii. Pagination
Another error is when content is spread over multiple pages. This is common on ecommerce sites that offer lots of products.
It is possible that Google will view these long blog posts as duplicates.
iv. URL capitalization
Capitalized letters in the URLs are another cause of duplication problems. Examples as follows:
www.example.com/abc
www.example.com/ABC
www.example.com/Abc
This issue can easily be resolved.
v. Click and session tracking
Some websites create ‘sessions’ for reasons such as tracking customers’ behavior. Such instances include when ecommerce sites create a session when a user is adding a product to their shopping cart. This session allows the user to continue shopping and browsing the site while maintaining their product(s) in the shopping cart.
A new URL will often be created when a new session has been created to allow the website to track the users’ activity. This makes it a duplication issue.
6. Use redirects correctly
There are a number of reasons why you may redirect content:
•When moving an old site to a new domain
•Directing traffic from one page to another
•Moving traffic from an expired page to an existing page
•Broken links on a page that you want to move to an alternative
There are a few different ways to redirect pages and it is advisable that you do so to avoid wasting traffic and losing your position in Google’s search results.
7. Check your internal linking
Internal links on your site will be an important factor in your site’s overall SEO. Links are not only a good navigational source for users but they also tell Google which of your pages are important.
Make it as easy as possible to help Google understand the purpose of each link. Here are the different kinds of links you will find:
II. Nofollow
The purpose of a Nofollow link is to tell Google that this link should be given no SEO benefit (for example, an advertorial). Adding this code in the HTML prevents the link from receiving any benefit.
All you need to do to create a Nofollow link is to add rel=”nofollow” in the HTML code. It is recommended to Nofollow a link in the following situations:
•The link is a paid advertisement
•The links are in a comments or forum section of your site
•You’re linking to a site that may not be entirely reputable
I have seen links that have inappropriately had a Nofollow tag added to them. As a result, link value is lost.
ii. JavaScript or flash links
Links using JavaScript or Flash are not crawled in the same way as HTML links. While Google does not have the ability to read most JavaScript links it is still recommended to use HTML where possible as JavaScript can still make it difficult for search engines to find your content.
8. Structured data (rich snippets)
Rich Snippets are a good way of helping your website to stand out in Google’s search results. These enable Google to show additional information, including images, as part of your listing.
Pages that use structured data, such as authorship mark up (example below) receive higher click through rates from Google than pages that don’t. Similar to listings with images – they attract approximately 25% more clicks.
Rich Snippets can be used to mark up the following:
•Events
•People
•Places
•Local Businesses
•Products
•Offers
•Reviews
•Music
The results of adding structured data to your pages increases your visibility and generates more traffic. If you want to learn more about rich Snippets, visit:

Ecommerce classes, Google’s product feed
Google Product Feed
Did you know that Google has a large portion of their website where they sell products? Naturally they do, you laugh to yourself, they have everything… with all joking aside, this is a serious topic for your business, because it can help you increase sales for your website, and that should be your goal.
Google Product Optimization Factors
As usual, Google is very tight-lipped about what it takes to get products to the top of Google’s Product Search. To clarify, we are discussing this in the following article.
Here are the main factors to just only having your products show up, but excelling in the Google product search index.
Product Title
Just like regular search engine optimization, you are going to want to strategically place your keyword in the title. This will increase your chances for ranking for that term.
Product Description
Product description is another factor for Google Product search engine optimization. Make sure your description also contains the keywords you would like to rank for.
Product Price
Price is a fairly significant factor in this equation. If your price is low, it will result in your product ranking higher.
Feed Attribute Data
Within your Google Product feed, whether it’s programmed in XML or CSV, you have the option of adding certain fields that identify your product. Some of these fields are mandatory and some are not, but the more accurate and information rich identifiers you list the more information Google will have to rank your product.
Product Identifiers
Category
You must choose from one of the four categories. Each category requests certain information.
• Media (i.e., Music, Movies, and Video Games): Must list UPC, EAN or JAN see types of unique product identifiers
• Books: ISBN (Either ISBN-10 or ISBN-13. Exceptions apply for books published before 1970.)
• Apparel: Type of Brand
• Custom made goods: Lucky, no identifiers are required at the moment
• All Other: You need to list at least 2 of the following: UPC, EAN, or JAN, Brand or MPN
The more data fields you fill out the better!
Fresh Google Product Feed Data
Google wants to see this feed refreshed and resubmitted on a regular basis. Make sure you set up a feed refresh, automatic crawl and submission process for your feed. If you do this once a week or so you should be in good shape.
Reviews of your Google Shopping Products
Getting positive reviews is one of the most important factors. This also plays a role in organic search engine optimization in some ways, so you really can’t go wrong with reviews. Those being the case, reviews are very important to Google Product optimization. In particular, the Google product search engine likes Google Checkout reviews.
Google Product Reviews
As you will come to learn, Google Product SEO is a project within itself. However, with a little work in this area you could be making more sales online before you know it.

Customer Relationship Management classes in Los Angeles
In today’s Internet business environment, customers are an extremely valuable asset of any business or organization. Numerous articles correctly state that keeping an existing customer or client is far more cost effective then attracting new customers. Translated into simple everyday language, we’re discussing repeat business, which is the key to any company’s survival. This article will define and discuss customer relationship management, which is commonly referred to as CRM.
CRM is the common abbreviation for customer relationship management. CRM entails all aspects of interaction that a company has with its customers, whether we’re talking about sales or service-related activities. While the phrase customer relationship management is most commonly used to describe a business-customer relationship, CRM systems are also used to manage your business contacts, clients, contract wins and sales leads. Forward thinking companies and organizations regard CRM as a valuable business asset, which must be protected at all possible costs.
The Customer Relationship Management Business Strategy
Customer relationship management is often thought of as a business strategy that enables businesses to:
1. Understand the customer.
2. Retain customers through better customer experience.
3. Attract new customers.
4. Win new clients and contracts.
5. Increase profitability.
6. Decrease customer management costs.
How Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is Used Today
Customer relationship management solutions provide your business with the customer support data to help you provide services or products, which your customers want, deliver better customer service, cross-sell and up sell more products or services effectively, close deals, retain current customers and better understand who your customers are.
Organizations frequently looking for ways to personalize online experiences (a process also referred to as mass customization) through tools such as help-desk software, email organizers and different types of enterprise applications rely heavily upon CRM tools and services to facilitate their operations.
What is a Dashboard as it relates to CRM?
Dashboard is a term that is widely used to describe an application interface that provides users with quick access to information or common tasks generated by CRM software. In CRM (customer relationship management) the dashboard is used to monitor business performance and CRM data and reports are often shown in the dashboard to provide a quick and easy overview of current business customer related activities and performance using charts, graphs, and maps.
A CRM dashboard is designed to let users perform some specific actions and tasks with a single mouse-click from the tool’s interface. For example, a click from the CRM dashboard could provide you with a detailed report on any lead follow-ups that are scheduled for today. Advance applications will make suggestions regarding cross or up-selling products.
ABCO Technology located at 6733 S Sepulveda Blvd. STE 106 in Los Angeles offers detailed information about Customer Relationship Management in the Ecommerce Course. Please call us between 9 AM and 6 PM Monday through Friday at: (310) 216-3067.

Certified Ethical Hacking course for Los Angeles Explained
Today’s network environment is dominated by the threats of networking penetration, social engineering and direct fraud. Network professionals are required to possess a wide variety of skills to protect a network against attack. The United States government has indicted five Chinese government officials for hacking into the networks of United States private companies. Hackers are after information, which they believe to be highly profitable.
The practice of hacking once carried out by youth with a lot of time on their hands has given way to highly trained and professional hackers who are backed by major companies and governments having one goal in mind, which is stealing information, which will bring a large profit to the organization who can obtain this information.
Companies having proprietary data to protect are requiring their network professionals to have a certification demonstrating skills and knowledge in the field of computer hacking.

Computer Forensics Classes in Los Angeles
Computer forensics is a challenging and exciting career. Read this article to determine if this job is for you.
Computer forensics is the science of determining what kind of activity transpired on a computer. The key question for any investigator to answer is, was this computer used to commit a crime? Professionals in the computer forensics field use many investigative techniques to determine how someone operated a computer. Law enforcement, private industry and even the non-profit sectors use computer forensics for a variety of activities. This article will give you a brief history of computer forensics and explain the certifications you will need for a successful career in this field.
Enron Corporation, which was one of the biggest stock frauds committed in the twentieth century filed for bankruptcy. In December of 2001, thousands of Enron employees were left jobless while some executives located at the top of the food chain benefited from the firm’s collapse. The United States Congress decided to investigate Enron after hearing allegations of corporate misconduct. A large percentage of Congress' investigation relied on computer files as evidence. A specialized detective force began to search through hundreds of Enron employee computers using the newly created science of computer forensics.
The purpose of computer forensics techniques is to search, preserve and analyze information on computer systems to find potential evidence for a criminal trial. Many of the techniques detectives use in crime scene investigations have digital counterparts, but there are also some unique aspects to computer investigations.
Did you know that just opening a computer file changes the file? Accessing the computer changes the computer records, the time and date it was accessed on the file itself. If detectives take possession of a computer and start opening files, there's no way to tell for sure that they didn't change anything.
The computer forensics expert obtains several key computer certifications so they will not make this critical mistake when conducting an investigation for law enforcement.
The main component of any computer is its operating system. A computer forensics expert understands all the unique aspects of a computer and can penetrate the files without disturbing the contents. Law enforcement now relies on computer forensic experts to solve many digital crimes.
Let’s explain some of the certifications you will need to have a successful career in computer forensics.
If you are new to information technology, the first certification you will want to obtain is the CompTIA A+, which authorizes the holder to repair and maintain computers. Knowing how to repair and maintain computers will assure your future employer that you will not damage a machine while investigating it.
If your assignment requires monitoring activities in a particular company, you will want to have the Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert as one of your certifications. This certificate tells your employer that you can handle a corporate server. Investigations of a company will require examining their server.
Your next certification, which will add credibility to your computer forensics capabilities, is the Cisco Certified Network Associate. The Cisco CCNA certification grants you a certificate that states you can handle a router, which is a company’s connection to the Internet.
Before entering into a computer forensics course, you will need to receive the CISSP or Certified Internet Security Systems Professional. This certification deals with security, which will help you spot hacking, which might be taking place at the company you are assigned to investigate.
Finally we get to the computer forensics certificate itself. This certificate when combined with the others discussed above adds the credibility you will need to get hired as a computer forensics professional. Information Technology is an exciting career. Job advancement depends upon the quality and number of certifications you receive as you progress in your field.
ABCO Technology located near the Los Angeles Airport offers a variety of small classes with hands on instruction, which will lead you to a promising career in computer forensics. Instruction is practical and full hands-on. Students may test for many of their certifications on campus.
