Does it Make Sense to Have Two (or More) Websites?

Sometimes it makes sense to have more than just one website, even if they are all for the same company and have lots of similar content. Why would you want to do this? If you can get two or more sites ranking well, then you have basically blocked out the competition and diluted search results a bit.

Say you sell garage doors, and have a really good site that ranks well. Then you add another site with a different url, which has different content, but still about your company. Once this site starts ranking well also, you can target a different set of key words, so now you have a much broader set of key words, or you can rank for the same key words as your first website. If someone searches for garage doors, if both sites show up, you increase the chances that someone will visit one of your sites - it's that simple.

This only makes sense if you can design and update the content yourself, or don't mind paying someone else to design the site for you. Don't go half way, setting up the site yourself but then not getting around to building it. Either decide that you will do it, or that you don't have the time or don't want to spend the money. Here's some food for thought though - if you get one or two sales due to having a second site, is it worth it?

Ft. Lauderdale Search Engine Ranking Company

Do you have a website, but would like to get it on the front page of Google or Yahoo? How about in the top 5 results? Watt Media is a Coral Springs (Ft. Lauderdale area) web company that can improve your rankings in the search engines. We have proven results and have helped many businesses achieve the results they were looking for, often times exceeding their expectations.

There are several things we do to increase a website's rankings: optimizing the content (text) of the site, which includes editing and adding text and links, editing the site's title and meta tags - which is code that the search engines pick up on, and also getting links on other websites that point to the website we're achieving results for. We will devise a strategy that will result in improved rankings over several weeks. In many cases, this foundational work is enough. In some cases, more work is needed, in which case we devise a 6 or 12 months strategy with our client.

One key thing to keep in mind - rankings improve over time, and results can never be immediate. Done properly, however, the site we're working for will achieve high rankings for many different key words.

Twitter Quick Tip

Twitter makes it easy to find contacts by linkng to your Google, Yahoo, or AOL accounts. But what if you don't use any of those e-mail services? Here's a workaround - You will need to create a Google account or already have one. Export your contacts from Outlook, then import them into Google, and then you can have Twitter search through your Google account, which will now contain all of your contacts!

Twitter, Here I Come!

I finally caved in and joined Twitter. I figured it was important for me to familiarize myself with it for work purposes, and as a little experiment to see how it goes and whether there's any value there.

I will report on the results in several weeks!
