How To Test If Your Website Can Convert

February 10, 2014 by James Seymour

Tweet

test if your website can convertConversions are extremely important for those who put up websites to conduct business online. However, conversions are rather elusive for many website owners. They could get heavy traffic and still end up holding an empty bag because no one bought anything or subscribed to anything. Their sites could be filled with exceptional content and a gazillion backlinks, yet sales remain tepid at best. To make matters worse, they could be offering the best rates or prices for a particular product or service, yet no one seems to be biting.

If you’re a website owner and you can totally relate to any of the situations mentioned above, then it’s time for you to test if your website can convert.

How to Maintain the High Quality of Your Guest Blogging

February 4, 2014 by James Seymour

Tweet

maintain the high quality of your guest bloggingThe benefits of guest blogging are manifold, not only for you but to the owner of the blog you’re doing a guest post for as well. As long as your guest posts are of high quality, the exposure to a new audience, the chance to carve a reputation, leave your own fingerprints on the Internet and get a higher ranking in search result pages are benefits that are going to be there for the taking.

In all honesty, trying to maintain the high quality of your guest blogging can sometimes prove to be tough, especially when you are doing a lot of juggling when it comes to your work. Far too many guest bloggers have gone through a decline in the quality of their guest posts because they’re just too busy.

If you find yourself in a similar situation and still want to maintain a certain standard when it comes to your guest blogging, here are some of the things you can do.

Writing Effective Headlines For Google and Your Readers

February 3, 2014 by James Seymour

Tweet

clickable headlinesFor as long as anyone can remember, supermarket tabloids have been writing headlines that are designed to shock—and of course pique enough the interest of people to pick them up—of anyone who reads them. Now that school of headline writing has already crossed over to the Internet, with sites like BuzzFeed and ViralNova screaming headlines that may not be as sensational as those in supermarket tabloids, but are just as long-winded, brimming with emotion and to a certain extent ridiculous.

Why Buying Twitter Followers Is (Probably) Not A Good Idea

January 30, 2014 by James Seymour

Tweet

buying Twitter followersEvery single Twitter user knows having a huge following is a big deal. Celebrities take a lot of pride in it, and so do businesses that use the social media site as a way of building brand recognition, search engine rankings and of course, a customer base.

Getting that huge following, however, isn’t the easiest thing to do on Twitter. That’s why a lot of Twitter marketers resort to black-hat practices like buying Twitter followers. Sure, buying Twitter followers has certain benefits, like getting the clout that always comes with having a huge following—fake or not—and it does make you feel important.

We at Sharper Edge, however, have reasons why we think buying Twitter followers is probably not a good idea, especially when you’re doing it to further your goals toward building brand recognition, among other things. Here are some of them.

Google Makes Filtering Image Search By License Easier

January 24, 2014 by James Seymour

Tweet

filtering image search by licenseAnyone with a website or a blog scours the Internet for images that they can use for publication. However, as many have eventually learned, finding images that can be reused for free without any caveats from the owners of the images has proven to be quite tricky. Over the years, countless bloggers and webmasters have already found themselves at the receiving end of emails requesting that images they have used for certain posts be taken down or face legal action.

Thankfully, Google has done something that will certainly make life a lot easier for bloggers and webmasters alike. With its latest update to Google Image Search, the search engine giant now allows users to sort results by license, which will then make it easier for them to find Creative Commons or public domain images that they can actually use for free for their own publications.

Why Your Website Should Be Responsive

January 17, 2014 by James Seymour

Tweet

why your website should be responsiveThere is no doubt that over the last few years, mobile Internet usage has significantly increased. Experts are even saying that within this year, mobile Internet usage will be on par with desktop usage, and that is definitely saying a lot about how dominant mobile is going to be in 2014.

However, despite all the facts about mobile Internet usage exploding this year, many websites still haven’t made the switch to responsive web design, which adapts to all screen sizes and all devices and makes any given website mobile-friendly. This is quite puzzling, because there is no reason for any website owner worth his salt to not have a responsive website these days.

If you’re one of those website owners, perhaps you’d like more compelling reasons why your website should be responsive. So here are some of them.
