Cayman SEO: W3C Validation and its importance

We are very happy to announce that our Optimization Contracts in the Cayman Islands now includes the web standard of W3C Validation.  A prime example of one of our current clients is www.grandviewcondos.com - when you scroll to the bottom you will see these icons:
When you click through to the W3C Validation the website has passed for both XHTML and CSS codes. Its actually one of a few websites in the Cayman Islands that have been validated.  Why is that important you may ask?

I strongly believe that it is important because it is actually what you are paying for in a website.  The code. ie. If your web developer ever gets hit by a bus (knock on wood), who do you think will manage it next?  It will probably be another developer that someone else recommends.  It will be frustrating for the new developer if he or she takes over the website and discovers that the code was not written properly and cleanly.  Your new developer will have to rewrite the code and you will have to pay your new developer extra money to do so, like buying a new website all over again.  But its going to be too late for you to get angry for having spent so much money on a website that was hastily developed.

We are always ensuring that we follow the standards set forth by the W3C - The World Wide Web Consortium - and even if its validation may or may not directly affect search engine optimization, the ability of of the website to satisfy compliance set forth by the W3C is something that we strongly recommend.

Standards and compliance exist in every industry and more so the Internet.  These governing structures are what form the foundation of emerging technologies of building a more user friendly WWW.

Starting in 2011, every NEW project that we take on will have been validated by the W3C.  Our industry is so fast paced that building compliant websites is the key to ensuring that our clients are paying for a quality website that acts as a sales tool.

Cayman SEO: Update on Changing to neutral Top Level Domains (TLD)

Just a very quick update on TLD's that address the geo targeting tool that Google released, or is it unleashed.  One of our internal website www.cayman4rent.ky already had a page rank of 3 and was very visible for online searches for most rental keywords in the Cayman Islands and it its domain age was not even 1 year old.  When google inserted the fixed geo-targeting location on Web Master Tools it was a wake up call of sorts. I quickly read up on what this could possible mean to the .ky and realized very quickly that Google was going to remove the .ky from its US data centres.  I wrote a blog regarding TLDs back in February and you can read it here .  On that blog I showed the fact that www.cayman4rent.ky was showing up for major keywords such as "grand cayman rentals" in the Cayman Islands but it was not showing up for the same keyword in the United States.  I was crushed really because it mean that I would have to give it a neutral TLD such as a .com for it...

EASY TIPS on Improving your Online Presence

How blogging can improve your online presence I have encouraged a lot of my clients in the Cayman Islands to start blogging. I have even gone through the motion of showing some of them how to blog, where to blog and why. I am providing a bullet point outline of the importance of blogging and am hoping that even the lazy reader will find this interesting if not empowering. Interesting NOTE: Blog is short for ‘Web logs’ Why YOU should blog If you have a business; YOU should blog because: -blogging is a formidable online marketing tool -the search engines easily index blogs because it is text heavy versus websites that are sometimes more graphically intensive -blogging is as easy as sending email, except in this case you are sending an email to many -blogs can easily be integrated into your website so even if you don’t want to pay to maintain your website, it is still getting new content from your blog -blogs enable your readers to connect with you on a more personal level -blogging ca...

Cayman SEO NEWS: Unethical SEO practices by NETCLUES!

I am a very passionate person when it comes to work and sure, most of the time I don't have time to moderate comments on my blog. Not that there is alot of them mind you, but because I know some people are trying to ride on the link popularity of my blog caymanseo.blogspot.com, which has a pagerank of 4/10 - and because I know how difficult breaks can be - I don't mind and sometimes approve them. What I do mind is when a competing company does it. So my blog is decidedly no. 1 for most if not all the keywords relating to SEO and/or Internet Marketing in the Cayman Islands. Of course it is - I have applied alot of what I know about optimization to my blog. So it really makes me so angry that a competing company would even dare post a link back to their blog hoping to ride on my coat-tails. You should have made a comment at the very least and maybe I would have let it pass but to blatantly put a link back... thats just plain LAZY. Its embarrasing really. I would hate ...
