At Webwildcatting.com we believe great web site design starts with search engine optimization, then is followed by good web site design. Why this is important: First, most small website owners want their site to be found. SEO improves the ability to make money fast from increasing traffic. Then comes good web site design. Here's some great reference books on the topic.
Site design is essentially the first impression that someone gets when they land on your site. You may have all your usability and SEO elements in place, but if the design is lacking then your visitor's impression of you will be lacking as well. A visually appealing site can not only bolster trust and credibility, but it can make you stand out among other less-appealing sites in your industry.
Here's 34 tips on best practices for good web design, if you want the list in a nice easy to use document for $9.95 click here, you'll be glad you did:
1. Instant site identification: As soon as landing on any page the visitor must be able to tell what website they are on.
2. Crisp, clean image quality: Don't use old or blurry images. Keep them neat, clean and sharp.
3. Clean, clutter-less design: Avoid trying to do too much at once. Keep navigation and content areas clear of unnecessary clutter.
4. Consistent colors and type: Use the same colors and font styles from page to page.
5. White space usage: Don't pack too much in, allow some breathing room so important areas stick out.
6. Minimal distractions: Be careful of images, animation and even links that pull the visitor into unwanted directions.
7. Targets intended audience: Make certain that your design targets your audience with appropriate colors, layout and wording.
8. Meets industry best practices: Design to be the best site in your industry. If there are industry-specific guidelines to be followed, be sure to do that.
9. Easy to navigate: Make it is easy for your visitor to find the links they need to take them to their desired pages.
10. Descriptive links: All links should accurately describe the destination page.
11. Good on-page organization: Put page information together in a logical way and keep information where it is expected to be found.
12. Easy to find phone number: Phone number should be easy to find regardless of page the visitor is on. The header is a great place for the phone number.
13. Don't link screen captures: It's not a good idea to link screen captures to other pages. Use text links or buttons.
14. Skip option for flash: If you use flash animations, have an option to skip it or turn it off all together.
15. Consistent page formatting: Use a consistent layout from page to page so the site feels like one cohesive unit.
16. No/minimal on-page styling: Use external CSS for all on-page styling. Only keep on the page what is specific for that page only.
17. Avoid text in images: Don't place quality keyword rich text in images.
18. Font size is adequate: Don't use excessively small fonts. Larger fonts increase readability of content.
19. Font type is friendly: Use fonts meant for the web, rather than fonts designed for print.
20. Paragraphs not too wide: Don't allow paragraphs to get too wide. Use absolute widths if necessary.
21. Visual cues to important elements: Be sure important links and action items stand out visually from the rest of the content.
22. Good overall contrast: Make sure text can be read (black on white) and colors don't bleed into each other.
23. Low usage of animated graphics: Avoid animated graphics unless absolutely essential to the user experience.
24. Uses obvious action objects: Calls to actions, links and subscribe buttons should be obvious at a glance.
25. Avoid requiring plugins: Don't use plugins that visitors have to download before getting the full site experience.
26. Minimize the use of graphics: Don't make your site graphic heavy to the point where the visitor is overwhelmed with visual eye-candy.
27. Understandable graphic file names: Name your images and other files in a way that makes sense if read.
No: /images/BDJ2330.jpg
Yes: /images/boys-rainslicker-jacket.jpg
28. No horizontal scrolling: Make sure the design is not so wide that horizontal scrolling is required.
29. Non-busy background: Keep site background unobtrusive to the main content areas of the site.
30. Recognizable look and feel: Your site design should be distinctive to you alone. Avoid templates that are mass reproduced.
31. Proper image / text padding: Give enough room between images and text so they don't bump up against each other.
32. Uses trust symbols: Better Business Bureau, site security and other trust symbols should be in obvious (and applicable) locations.
33. Works on variety of resolutions: Test site to be sure it works on a variety of different screen resolutions.
34. Works on variety of screen widths: Test site to be sure it functions correctly on different width screens and browser windows.

What are Meta Tags?
What are meta tags?
At webwildcatting.com we get this question a lot from our clients. Here is a simple answer to this question. We have a great 25 step tool to help any website owner organically improve website search engine optimization. Take a look at it here.
Meta tags are little bits of HTML code that provide information about a page but are not viewable by the user in a browser. Most search engines examine a page's meta tags, which usually include a page title, description, and keywords, to index the page and help determine its ranking in relevant search results. Although not the only way to elevate your site's search engine rankings, judiciously adding meta tags to your pages can help.
Title:
Title tags appear at the top of the web browser screen when that page is viewed, and in a visitor's bookmarks menu, if he decides to bookmark your site. More important, search engines use titles to index web sites, and often display them in search engine results.
Description:
Your description summarizes your page's content. Some search engines use this description to help categorize your page, and a few even display it in search results! Make sure you write short good copy here, or hire us to help you.
Keywords:
Though the keywords tag isn't as important as it once was, effective keywords can still influence your search engine rankings. Your visitors won't see your keyword meta tags (which will be hidden in your site code), but search engines may use them to help index your site.
Your page's title, description, and keyword tags generally appear at the top of a web page's HTML code (you can find a page's meta tags by selecting Source or Page Source from your browser's View menu). Here's an example:
** Of note, we replaced < and > with ( and ) for display purposes.
(head)
(title)your business name and page title(title)
(meta name="description" content="a description of your site")
(meta name="keywords" content="relevant keywords about your site")
(/head)
If you found this useful, you'll be able to quick and effectively use our 25 point Search Engine Optimization tool. You will begin to see results in 90 days. Using this process our site is rated Number 1 in Yahoo, Google, and MSN. It takes a little time, and some tweaking, but it works.

Website traffic metrics that improve website traffic
Focusing on clicks and conversions can obscure the real indicators of a website's success. For a more complete picture, try these neglected metrics.
Experienced marketers use these metrics when developing their web strategies. Two major themes emerged: analyzing visitor behavior before and after a click; putting conversions into context to determine ROI. Measuring the success of a search marketing campaign starts with a fundamental metric: the click. Clicks alone don’t tell you the real story.
Where is the traffic coming from? How much did it cost to generate? What did those visitors do once they arrived at your site?
Similarly, measuring conversion rate – the percentage of search-generated visitors who make a purchase or answer a call to action, such as registering for a white paper – doesn’t give you enough insight to optimize your campaign performance. Conversions and clicks to ads or URLs must be analyzed in context. That’s why experienced marketers use these metrics to help refine search marketing campaigns and boost website traffic.
These underused metrics below include an explanation on how to calculate each metric, and have suggestions for putting the data to use. Need help? Contact us at Webwildcatting.com for sites that sell!
The Metrics
-> Metric #1. Ad spend ratio
Description: Ad spend ratio calculates how much of each dollar in revenue you spent on the PPC ad that generated it. Calculating ad spend ratio daily or weekly for each keyword can show which costs more per click than it returns in profit.
“I compare how much we spend on a word to how many sales came in on it, we can quickly see if we’re spending more than we’re getting in,” says Gary Gabel, owner of Lake Country Direct, an all natural and organic meats purveyor in up state New York who specializes in home delivery direct from family farms.
How to calculate ad spend ratio:
- Use your PPC campaign management engine to run a report that shows you the amount of money you spent on each keyword.
- Calculate the revenue generated by those keywords. (Google Adwords can do this. Yahoo! and MSN systems can not, requiring markers to use another sales-tracking system, such as a pixel tracking program, to record sales from those engines.)
- Divide the cost figure by revenue figure for each keyword. The result is the percentage of revenue you spent on each keyword – or ad spend ratio.
- Compare the ad spend ratio for each keyword to your profit margin on the goods or services sold to determine if it was a profitable keyword. The lower your ad spend ratio, the better.
While every company’s cost of goods will vary, we suggest these percentages as a rule of thumb:
o 10% ad spend ratio for hard goods that must be shipped
o 50-60% ad spend ratio for intellectual property or online services that don’t have manufacturing and shipping costs
Use ad spend ratio to:
#1. Manage your keyword bidding strategies by looking for high and low extremes in your results. If you find certain keywords with an extremely low ratio, examine your ad position for those terms. If you are below the top three ads, you have a chance to increase your bid and gain a better position without harming your profitability.
Conversely, if you find keywords with high ratios, you can either suspend bidding on that word or try lowering your bid to see if you can maintain traffic while lowering your ad spend ratio.
#2. Double-check decisions made on CPC metrics.
Recently, we had a client who shut down bids on particular keywords because the cost-per-conversion for those terms was higher than average. However, by calculating ad spend ratio, we detected those keywords generated much higher total revenue and, therefore, were worth paying a higher CPC.
-> Metric #2. Bounce rate
Description: Bounce rate measures the number of visitors who either leave your site immediately after arrival (within a few seconds) or don’t navigate to any pages beyond the one they arrive on. High bounce rates usually indicate there’s a problem with the relevance of the information on that page, or other factors like navigation options or layout of the page are unclear.
We work with our clients all the time who are driving new visitors to their website, but what are they doing when they get here? As a web marketer, that’s really what that's what we want our clients to be really interested in. If they are buying and you're spending good money on Adwords, you are throwing money down a rat hole.
How to calculate bounce rate:
- Most Web analytics tools offer bounce rate as an option in their metrics list.
- Run a site-wide bounce rate report to generate a baseline for comparison, or use a firm like to do it for you.
- Run focused bounce-rate reports based on specific criteria, such as for PPC landing pages, most popular pages on your site, or by different traffic sources.
- More advanced owners can use filtering techniques to avoid skewed results from frequent visitors who may only visit one page at a time, such as employees or clients. You can either:
o Block visitors according to IP address to strip out results from internal visits, partners or clients
o Filter results by new visitors vs. repeat visitors
Use bounce rate to:
#1. Determine whether ads are pointing to the right page.
A high bounce rate could indicate that the content of the landing page isn’t matching what the visitor expected to see based on the search term used.
We use bounce rate analysis to refine ad strategies for our clients at Webwildcatting.com all the time. For example, the team had been sending very specific search terms, such as “Website business plan template,” to our site’s general template category page. After seeing high bounce rates, we began pointing those clicks to the sub-category of website business plan template, generating a significantly lower bounce rates, and orders from all over the world started spouting up!
#2. Highlight landing pages that need optimization.
A high percentage of search visitors who leave your landing page immediately signal that the page is not engaging them in a meaningful way.
Begin landing page optimization tests. Look for improvements to layout, call-to-action, copy, and other features that will influence visitors to stay longer and click through.
#3. Improve content, layout or navigation of internal pages.
An internal site page with a higher-than-average bounce rate generally includes factors that prevent visitors from moving forward from there. Problems could include:
o Copy that’s not relevant to the search term that delivered the traffic
o Confusing or too few navigation options
o Page layout or design
o Metatags that don’t match the page’s content (this is huge, because you could be paying for these!)
-> Metric #3. Click path analysis
Description: Click path analysis monitors a search visitor’s browsing pattern that led to their arrival on your site, and then the sequence of pages visited as they navigate within it. Patterns in browsing behavior can reveal how your customers are searching for your product or services online – and what other websites they’re visiting in the process.
How to calculate Click path analysis:
- Some Web analytics and PPC bid management systems provide external click path analysis. It shows the sequence of sites a visitor navigated through before arriving at your website.
Look for trends in searching behavior, commonly visited external sites, and unusual referring sites, which may contain clues about new keywords or demographic profiles to target.
- Use your internal Web analytics system to monitor where visitors click and what pages they visit once before they convert or exit. You can also try our 25 point organic SEO checklist which will make sure you are doing the fundamentals correctly. This is a good sanity checker even for the most experienced website owner.
Use click path analysis to:
#1. Gain insight into what influences a search visitor to convert is something we pay close attention to for our SEO clients here at Webwildcatting.com. We constantly confirm through click path analysis that visitors looking for our clients offerings, or our own, often search a range of different terms. They may visit our website, or our clients multiple times while also searching third-party information before ultimately converting.
These reports reconfirm that these are the sites they search. They not only Google us, but they Google us again and often use different search terms. Since we or our clients keep showing up, we develop the trust necessary to earn their investment in our clients, or our own products and services.
This analysis uncovers third-party sites to target for listings and helps determine which keywords are influential in a preliminary search and which lead to a more direct conversion.
#2. Look for navigation improvements that can get to a conversion page in fewer clicks.
Identifying trends in the information visitors seek before converting can help you add content to key pages, or move them to a conversion more quickly by developing new linking strategies for the typical browsing path.
-> Metric #4. Lifetime value of a search visitor/customer
Description: Lifetime value is a sum of the total revenue generated by a search-referred customer, including immediate sales, delayed purchases or estimated future purchases/contract renewals. Looking beyond direct revenue to calculate lifetime value can create a more complete picture of search ROI.
How to calculate lifetime value:
- Create estimates based on your past business experience using formulas, such as multiplying the average value of a sale by the estimated number of times a customer buys. B-to-B service companies or subscription marketers may estimate the average value of a contract and multiply it by the average length of the relationship.
You can use those estimates to plan search campaign budgeting or set guidelines for acceptable cost-per-click expenditures.
- Track delayed sales or analyze the different LTV of search visitors by source, such as referring search engine or keyword used. Tag those visitors with a cookie when they first reach your site and retain data on future visits and conversions. Less advanced website owners will want an SEO Specialist to do this for them.
B-to-B marketers can use labels in their CRM systems to indicate that a new prospect first entered their database via search. Then track those prospects’ progress through the marketing and sales cycle to attribute subsequent revenue to a search-originated lead.
Use lifetime value to:
#1. Expand search marketing strategies to include new product categories.
Many marketers, particularly in B-to-B firms, avoid using search campaigns for high-priced items that don’t convert immediately. Knowing the lifetime value of a search-generated referral allows you to justify search expenditures as a way to bring prospects into a conversion funnel.
The team at Webwildcatting.com created an organic search campaign for a client selling manuscript assessment services for kids who write that take a long time to convert. Because of the fact there are no services like this there was very little competition for those keywords. The team was able to create a campaign that used organic search terms to generate increased contact form participation which ultimately increased sales!
By coding those contact form requests according to the search-generated request, we were able to attribute sales generated several months later back to the search campaign.
#2. Refine keyword strategy.
LTV analysis can uncover certain keywords or ad groups that may not deliver an immediate conversion. But they may have high long-term sales potential and justify inclusion in a campaign.
#3. Determine the point at which keywords become unprofitable.
Many of our small clients face low budgets or increased costs from rising competition for popular keywords. At some point, we must decide when to abandon a keyword because of poor ROI.
Lifetime value helps decide where that line should be drawn.
-> Metric #5. Profit per keyword
Description: Profit per keyword ties clicks and conversions for each word to back-end financial data, such as revenue generated by those clicks, to calculate the return on your search investment. It can be used in conjunction with lifetime value estimates.
How to calculate profit per keyword:
- For each keyword in your campaign, multiply total clicks by cost per click to calculate the total expenditure.
- Subtract total expenditure from the revenue generated from search clicks.
- Divide total number of sales or conversions into the total to calculate cost per acquisition.
Use profit per keyword to:
#1. Find your most profitable keywords.
We use keyword profitability metrics to decide where to spend our search marketing budget for ourselves and our clients. If we notice a keyword delivering customers at a relatively low cost per acquisition, we’ll move more money into those terms to acquire more customers at that cost.
Conversely, we’ll move away from terms with strong conversion rates if calculations show that we’re spending too much to bring those visitors to our client's landing page, or our own.
If you look at conversion data, it can be very misleading. Cost per click and other metrics are somewhat meaningless if you don’t tie them back to what you’re selling from those clicks and the total value of those sales.
Experienced marketers use these metrics when developing their web strategies. Two major themes emerged: analyzing visitor behavior before and after a click; putting conversions into context to determine ROI. Measuring the success of a search marketing campaign starts with a fundamental metric: the click. Clicks alone don’t tell you the real story.

You can use those estimates to plan search campaign budgeting or set guidelines for acceptable cost-per-click expenditures.
- Track delayed sales or analyze the different LTV of search visitors by source, such as referring search engine or keyword used. Tag those visitors with a cookie when they first reach your site and retain data on future visits and conversions. Less advanced website owners will want an SEO Specialist to do this for them.
B-to-B marketers can use labels in their CRM systems to indicate that a new prospect first entered their database via search. Then track those prospects’ progress through the marketing and sales cycle to attribute subsequent revenue to a search-originated lead.
Use lifetime value to:
#1. Expand search marketing strategies to include new product categories.
Many marketers, particularly in B-to-B firms, avoid using search campaigns for high-priced items that don’t convert immediately. Knowing the lifetime value of a search-generated referral allows you to justify search expenditures as a way to bring prospects into a conversion funnel.
The team at Webwildcatting.com created an organic search campaign for a client selling manuscript assessment services for kids who write that take a long time to convert. Because of the fact there are no services like this there was very little competition for those keywords. The team was able to create a campaign that used organic search terms to generate increased contact form participation which ultimately increased sales!
By coding those contact form requests according to the search-generated request, we were able to attribute sales generated several months later back to the search campaign.
#2. Refine keyword strategy.
LTV analysis can uncover certain keywords or ad groups that may not deliver an immediate conversion. But they may have high long-term sales potential and justify inclusion in a campaign.
#3. Determine the point at which keywords become unprofitable.
Many of our small clients face low budgets or increased costs from rising competition for popular keywords. At some point, we must decide when to abandon a keyword because of poor ROI.
Lifetime value helps decide where that line should be drawn.
-> Metric #5. Profit per keyword
Description: Profit per keyword ties clicks and conversions for each word to back-end financial data, such as revenue generated by those clicks, to calculate the return on your search investment. It can be used in conjunction with lifetime value estimates.
How to calculate profit per keyword:
- For each keyword in your campaign, multiply total clicks by cost per click to calculate the total expenditure.
- Subtract total expenditure from the revenue generated from search clicks.
- Divide total number of sales or conversions into the total to calculate cost per acquisition.
Use profit per keyword to:
#1. Find your most profitable keywords.
We use keyword profitability metrics to decide where to spend our search marketing budget for ourselves and our clients. If we notice a keyword delivering customers at a relatively low cost per acquisition, we’ll move more money into those terms to acquire more customers at that cost.
Conversely, we’ll move away from terms with strong conversion rates if calculations show that we’re spending too much to bring those visitors to our client's landing page, or our own.
If you look at conversion data, it can be very misleading. Cost per click and other metrics are somewhat meaningless if you don’t tie them back to what you’re selling from those clicks and the total value of those sales.

How to improve your Business, and your Web Business
Do what you love, and love what you do!
Get your dialing finger ready.... you're gonna need it.
Put <<$25,000.00 a month>> on a post-it. Tape it to your computer monitor.
Don't go wild staring it, just let it process. Start to break it down into 'units' and then figure out how many 'units' you need to close each month to make that number. Once you have the number of units, then you contemplate the number of people you need to convince that what you have to offer is worth their time. When you have that number, you'll be ready to use that dialing finger....
www.dems-for-a-re-do.com
For instance, as a Democrat, I hated the choices of Hillary Clinton and Barrak Obama! Neither candidate has the necessary 'gravitas' in my opinion to be the leader of the free world. Neither one 'cuts' it on the world stage. Neither has shown they have the back bone to stand tall against the bullies of the world and protect the little guy around the world. That is what I feel the next President, and the United States is all about. We are all about providing every 'little person' on the planet the 'freedom' of 'opportunity' to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Hillary and Obama can't do it at home, so they sure as hell aren't going to be able to do it abroad. That's why I want a re-do! I developed a site to let others who agree, say so.
I took the initiative to open up an account at CafePress.com, and create my own line of stuff. I even created a sexy thong for those women who have felt cheated, and demand a 'RE-DO'!
Women can let those close to them know how they feel. If Hillary can demand it, so can women all over the world. Ladies, and fellow Democrats demand a RE-DO.
Stop by and learn from the master. Or hire me, to help you advance your business. You can find me at www.webwildcatting.com
