Main Keywords

Most of my cur­rent work has been focused on SEO setup.   While I still do  con­sider graphic design an impor­tant part of what I do, the main focus is to drive more traf­fic.   I like to uti­lize art and good design prin­ci­ples to pro­duce bet­ter work.  Design comes into play still because although much of the pro­duc­tion work I do involves adding infor­ma­tion or ele­ments to exist­ing web site designs.   I still use design integrity to make these ele­ments look pleas­ing to the eye and in theme with what is already in place.

How does this affect this blog?   I am still con­sid­er­ing that. I think though that I may per­haps con­sider post­ing any futre tips on both SEO and design.

SO 1st graphic / SEO tip .  Use CSS (exter­nal styles) to style ele­ments as much as pos­si­ble instead of using images for text.   Oth­er­wise the rel­e­vant infor­ma­tion may not get spi­dered, and there­fore indexed.   Which is to say it may not rank / show up in the search engine results.….  Using text and CSS will also be lighter in file size typ­i­cally.  

Its con­firmed.  All new SEO projects going for­ward will uti­lize the new  +1 tags to our code?  Here is the code:

<!– Place this tag in your head or just before your close body tag –><script type=“text/javascript” src=“https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js”></script>
<!– Place this tag where you want the +1 but­ton to ren­der –><g:plusone size=“small”></g:plusone>

Its pretty straight­for­ward.  Add the  <script > code right before the clos­ing </head> tag.  And then the :  <g:plusone size=“small”></g:plusone> around the area you want it to dis­play.   If need be you can enclose  it into a <div> tag and style it with css to moce it around and such.
