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...
