High search engine traffic rate - little to no sales or leads generated.

Internet Marketing Strategy

Conversion Rate Optimisation - this is a different thought related concept. The aim with conversion rate optimisation, CRO for short, is to make the most of the traffic your site gets. Reducing your websites bounce rate and not spending money or time on attracting more visitors is the key to this process. Converting the current search traffic into leads or sales is usually trickier then webmasters / site-owners realise, people have become more savvy and also cautious online, they will take their time to look/shop around.

On and off page SEO focus - test questions for SEO professionals

On Page SEO

Keywords and more so now keyphrases, are the focus of on page SEO integrated into quality content that is well structured.  Once upon a time you could target a single keyword and rank highly for it, the web has moved on and 'authority sites' own these single targeted keywords.

Ask the SEO company you are in talks with what their main ten keyphrases are, Google them and have a look on their website to see if they really are the keyphrases they target.  Home page description, headings and menu items will tell you if they really are their targeted keyphrases.

Off Page SEO

Cost Of Search Engine Optimisation

Cheap SEO Services

I hope people get to this page because of this heading. Cheap SEO does not work. Why would it?  If anyone offers cheap SEO services and can get results why are they not working for Tesco, ASDA, Argos, WalMart, Nike, Adidas, etc.  Do not be fooled by the offer of 'SEO need not cost the Earth', obviously you get what you pay for but budget services in my opinion are a waste of money.

Expensive SEO Services

SEO can be the difference between success and insolvency.

What to look for in a SEO company

SEO companies come in all shapes and sizes, Dean Marshall Consultancy offer a full website service not just SEO. Search Engine Optimisation is not a 'yer I'll have a go' industry, but how many of us are getting a constant stream of emails about SEO services from supposed SEO companies, all you have to do is look at the email address ' This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ' and know their scammers.

So here is the question you need answering:

How to choose a professional and reputable SEO company

Unbelievably I was asked that question this week from a prospective client, as you can imagine my jaw hit the ground.  I don't mean to sound patronising, but seriously!

Joomla Menu Structure

Every website needs good menu architecture, clear user navigation is vital.  You're wasting your time and money on pretty pictures and design concepts without clear navigation and high quality content.  At Dean Marshall Consultancy we try and insert all articles into one consolidated menu. Lots of small menus makes navigating your site a nightmare and furthermore make module management within the website difficult for the administrators.  If you can, you should put your articles into one menu and create a single menu module to display a list of links for the category you are browsing.  As an added bonus breadcrumbs and Search Engine Friendly URLs will also be more consistent.

Leading Joomla evangelist Brian Teeman - one of the founders of Joomla and Open Source Matters (OSM) the body the holds the project's trademarks and purse strings - shared details of his difficulties in finding the time and money to travel the world promoting the project.

In his blog post - Helping Me spread the Joomla!Love - Brian asked if any of the individuals and companies who make a living from Joomla would be willing to help fund his travel expenses.

I think we would have done so anyway - but Brian ingeniously offered an incentive to sweeten the deal. Brian presents talks and presentations and offered a small advertising slot on slides of his 'next generation' Joomla Secrets talk.

If like myself you have upgraded to the latest version of Ubuntu, you may have also noticed that the keyboard and mouse do not work, you have to bang the mouse or press keys down several times for them to work.

I've found a work around for now and have posted this on the Ubuntu forum.

If you have a zombie process running then you need to 'kill it' ( for this you will need a command-line terminal ), below is the command line code you need to do this.  Until Ubuntu is upgraded or someone else finds a permanent fix, you will have to do this each time you start your machine.

We can help you with the task of transferring your existing website to our web Joomla hosting.

Whilst many moderately advanced Joomla users are capable of moving their Joomla website from their old web host to our Joomla web hosting we fully understand and appreciate that not everyone can do so.  We can take the complexities and uncertainties out of the equation for you.

We charge a fixed fee in exchange for which we can backup your existing Joomla website - move the site (files and database) to our web server and help with transferring the domain name itself.

We then point the domain name to the new web hosting and set up the first three email addresses for you.  Your Joomla hosting will typically come with its own control panel so you will be able to manage emails and other many other add-ons yourself.

We are confident that we can offer:

• offer high quality hosting
• offer the features that make Joomla and Mambo easier to use
• remove the road blocks that many people experience
• affordable, reliable and flexible hosting
• full service hosting - including automated backups
• mirrored hosting - full copies of your site ready to go should anything go wrong
