			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you are building a website for business or personal reasons, how you design the site will affect the number of visitors you attract and retain. When surfing the internet, it is not difficult to see how many websites owners have failed at designing a professional site. There are a number of common errors many people make when creating a website. </p>
<p>The following is a list of common mistakes to avoid when building your website: </p>
<p>1, A poorly organized design is a common error that will affect website traffic. Do not use a mish mash of banners, flashing animation, many bright colors, strange patterns, and annoying music. A cluster of distracting background designs makes a website look unprofessional and takes away from the sites purpose and message.  </p>
<p>2. A website that takes a long time loading will often result in surfers losing patience and leaving the site. To avoid a slow loading website use a high speed internet connection, do not use a lot of graphics, and minimize the amount of video clips, music clips, and flash animation. This will drastically reduce loading time. </p>
<p>3. Websites that do not clearly convey their message tend not to have repeat visitors. Your home page should clearly state who you are and the mission of your website. Make sure you have a professional logo and domain name that is relevant to your site. The visitor should know exactly what business or service you are promoting. Focus is essential when building a website.</p>
<p>4. It is important to make sure your navigation tool is easy to understand and use. You want your visitors to freely and quickly move from page to page without getting mixed up. Your navigation links should be located at the top of the webpage or on the side.  </p>
<p>5. Having quality content is essential to creating and maintaining a successful website. Quality and well written content that is updated regularly will encourage visitors to return to your site. You should also make sure the content is relevant to your site. </p>
<p>6. Websites that are not search engine friendly will result in a lack of visitors. You should have relevant key words, unique content, quality reciprocal links, appropriate advertisements, small pictures, email address, domain name, and a contact phone number and address.</p>
<p>7. Cookie cutter websites tend not to be as popular as original designed websites. Websites that have the same layout and content as other sites will score low in the search engine rankings. A website built from scratch will attract more visitors. </p>
<p>Your <a href="http://www.acromediainc.com/">web design</a> represents the vision and product or service that your company is offering. A poorly designed website sends the message to your visitors that your product or service may not be high quality. How well your website succeeds depends on the overall impression a visitor receives. It is important to take the time to plan and implement a website that is professional, user-friendly, and is appealing to your targeted visitors.</p>
<p>Interactive <a href="http://www.acromediainc.com/">Vancouver web design</a> agency provides web development, online marketing and <a href="http://www.acromediainc.com/services/custom-web-design-services">web design services</a> customized to your needs.

<p>Conventionally, consumers seeking information about the location and contact information for local businesses turn to the local yellow pages.  Though industry experts on the Yellow Pages directories across the United States note that traditional print Local Yellow Pages directories received 13.4 billion references in 2007, this number has been steadily declining since the middle of the 1990&#8242;s.  A number of factors have been attributed to this drop, including the proliferation of cellular phones, various directory offerings by cell phone companies, and the most noticeable factor, the advent of the today&#8217;s internet.</p>
<p>To keep up with the trends in consumer tastes, the Local Yellow Pages companies have turned to the internet as another method of providing their local business directories to the public.  Thousands of these websites will then offer search boxes for users to track down a local business in a given industry in a method that is similar to that of traditional print Local Yellow Pages.  Online Yellow Pages, as a collective whole, obtained about 3.8 billion searches in 2007, which was about a 13% rise from the previous year.</p>
<p>The nature of the internet, however, presents a multitude of problems for companies wishing to advertise in Online Yellow Pages profitably.  This occurs largely because online references to the whole collection of Local Yellow Pages companies and their websites on the internet was just over 3.8 billion, whereas the total number of searches within the top three major search engine was around 42 billion in 2007.  </p>
<p>Alone these statistics prove irrelevant; however, the fact of the matter is that almost every hit arriving as one of the 3.8 billion Online Yellow Pages views emanated from a user first typing a search query into one of the major search engines.  Local Yellow Pages have not succumbed to irrelevancy from the internet, but rather, to the major search engine&#8217;s easy access and indexing of websites online according to their relevancy to specific keywords typed into their search query box.</p>
<p>For example, when entering in these search terms, the user will type something like &#8220;x in y&#8221; with &#8220;x&#8221; being a good, product, business, or service and &#8220;y&#8221; being a geographic location.  The results from the search engines will then return in a lengthy list of applicable websites that display multitudes of information on businesses in the given location that are in the industry that the search engine user was hunting for.  </p>
<p>The Local Yellow Pages websites can appear with these search engine indexes results.  Such Yellow Pages results are then an option, or link, that consumers can click to view more information on the Local Yellow Pages Online website.  </p>
<p>At this juncture, knowledge of typical internet user and searcher behavior is necessary.  Studies and personal experience may help researchers note that the results, which rank higher in the search engines receive the most clicks.  In fact, the figures prove that about 95 percent of all internet traffic is derived from the first three search results of a given term.  This strategy of wishing to rank highly in the search engines for a specific search term is much like wanting to be placed first in a Yellow Pages directory, but can actually be much less expensive, if done properly.  </p>
<p>By constructing a website that is optimized to rank within the major search engines for the businesses local or regional keywords, companies can drive traffic and capitalize on their consumers&#8217; business with marketing on the internet.  The usage of Local Yellow Pages, though effective prior to the invention of the internet and search engines, is no longer a necessary step to being number one in the go-to spot for consumer references, when it comes to finding goods, businesses, or services.</p>

<p>Florida is a densely populated state in the United States. Different types of small businesses like corporations, partnerships, restricted liability corporations, or solitary proprietorship&#8217;s operate here. Florida has three main zones where people lives and business flourishes; these are South Florida Area, Gulf Coast of Florida and Panhandle of Florida. </p>
<p>For merchants in Florida making approach to customers in the highly populated areas, the accessibility of advertising, leave aside the prices, makes using an established course to advertising practically futile.  The struggle in Florida&#8217;s Yellow Pages books, and the resulting consultation and bidding over the most worthwhile positions, refers the small enterprises with a reticent promotion and publicity funds almost powerless in finding winning advertising in the print Florida Yellow Pages book. </p>
<p>In addition, many business enterprises in Florida try advertising through Florida Yellow Pages Online directories. Very much like the ineffective and cost prohibitive character of established print Florida Yellow Pages book for small businesses, small businesses face stiff, and exceptionally costly, bidding for leading places on Florida Yellow Pages Online directories.</p>
<p>A highly possible mode of recourse for companies looking to implement an effective advertising strategy and subvert the traditional Florida Yellow Pages route is through developing your own company website.  Not only will a company now have their very own internet home, but additionally, these company websites can contain an unlimited number of words, web pages, pictures, videos, and any other content that can be used to reach out to potential customers, while Florida Yellow Pages can only offer maybe a full page advertisement at what is more than likely an exorbitant and cost prohibitive expense.</p>
<p>Having a website offers great advantages over Florida Yellow Pages book or a Florida Yellow Pages Online directory. When you have a website, you can put any number of web pages about your product or services, you can put as many pages as you want of text, graphics, and banners, and upload videos.  Unfortunately, Florida Yellow Pages offers your business a very limited amount of space.   </p>
<p>The vast majority of the views of Florida Yellow Pages online start with a keyword search in the major search engines.  For example, the four top search engines received 42 billion searches in the year 2007, while all of the Yellow Pages Online offerings received only 13.4 billion views in the year 2007.  The vast bulk of these Yellow Pages Online, and in turn Florida Yellow Pages online views, stem from what an internet user finds when they search in the major search engines. </p>
<p>For a small business or any company, investing in a website that will show up in the major search engines is vital.  Additionally, ranking well within these search engine results is important.  Florida Yellow Pages online companies offering top spot rankings within their directories on a bidding basis, and given the density of businesses and population in Florida, the costs can get huge.  By using a professional web development company, businesses can rank above all Yellow Pages results in the major search engines at a fraction of the cost to only rank well within the Florida Yellow Pages online website.</p>
<p>By taking out the extra step a customer and internet user has to take to find your company, businesses stand a much greater chance of receiving this customer&#8217;s business.  Also, the unlimited advertising and design options for company websites is not even comparable to the lack of information that Florida Yellow Pages online will allow customers to see before making a decision.</p>

<p>Conventionally, consumers seeking information about the location and contact information for local businesses turn to the local yellow pages.  Though industry experts on the Yellow Pages directories across the United States note that traditional print Local Yellow Pages directories received 13.4 billion references in 2007, this number has been steadily declining since the middle of the 1990&#8242;s.  A number of factors have been attributed to this drop, including the proliferation of cellular phones, various directory offerings by cell phone companies, and the most noticeable factor, the advent of the today&#8217;s internet.</p>
<p>To keep up with the trends in consumer tastes, the Local Yellow Pages companies have turned to the internet as another method of providing their local business directories to the public.  Thousands of these websites will then offer search boxes for users to track down a local business in a given industry in a method that is similar to that of traditional print Local Yellow Pages.  Online Yellow Pages, as a collective whole, obtained about 3.8 billion searches in 2007, which was about a 13% rise from the previous year.</p>
<p>The nature of the internet, however, presents some problems for companies wishing to advertise in Online Yellow Pages successfully, however.  First, while online references to the entire collection of Local Yellow Pages companies and their websites on the internet was 3.8 billion, the total number of searches in the top three major search engine tallied around 42 billion in 2007.  </p>
<p>Alone, such statistics prove irrelevant; however, the fact remains that nearly every hit arriving as one of 3.8 billion Online Yellow Pages views originated from a user first typing a search query into a major search engines.  Local Yellow Pages have not fallen into irrelevancy because of the internet, but rather, because of the major search engines&#8217; easy approach and indexing of websites online, according to their relevancy to the given keywords.</p>
<p>When a user types in these search terms, for example, he or she will type something similar to &#8220;x in y,&#8221; with &#8220;x&#8221; being a product, business or service and &#8220;y&#8221; being the  geographic location.  The results given by the search engines then return a long list of pertinent websites and listings, which display information on businesses in the given location, within the industry that the person was looking for in the search engine.  </p>
<p>The Local Yellow Pages websites can appear with these search engine indexes results.  Such Yellow Pages results are then an option, or link, that consumers can click to view more information on the Local Yellow Pages Online website.  </p>
<p>At this point, knowledge about the typical internet user and searcher&#8217;s behavior is necessary.  First, researchers perform studies and use personal experience to note that results ranking higher in the search engines get more clicks.  In fact, the figures show that over 95 percent of all of the traffic on the internet is derived from the first three results of any searched term.  The strategy of wanting to rank higher up in the search engines for a search term is just like asking to be placed first in a Yellow Pages directory, but, if done properly, can be much less expensive.  </p>
<p>By building a website, in which the businesses local or regional keywords are designed to rank within the major search engines, companies are able drive traffic and capitalize on consumer business with advertising on the internet. Although it was effective prior to the advent of the internet and search engines, the Local Yellow Pages are no longer a necessary step to be number one for the consumer references go-to spot, in regards to finding goods, businesses and services.</p>
