It claims to provide all the latest web marketing news in the southeast of England. We are keeping our eye on this to see how it develops. The UK is a massive market and SEO is booming. So when websites like this appear we keep our eye on them. I wonder if you can guess what it is, or what it is going to be?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hmm <a href="http://www.seotoday.org.uk/">SEO Today</a> look interesting characters.  They are in the search engine optimization business the same as ourselves. We are always interested in how SEO companies operate, being an SEO company ourselves.  We shall be keeping an eye on these and watching how they develop.</p>
<p>The higher a search engine ranking, the more people will click on a link, visit a website and be exposed to the message displayed therein.  Getting to the top of the Search Engine rankings is critical. It is estimated that there are now in excess of 200 factors used by the major search engines to determine site ranking.  Fortunately SEO companies know how to get results.  In a dynamic and fast-paced business such as SEO where the search engines work hard to keep ahead of those trying to manipulate genuine results to their own ends SEO companies have the knowledge and ability to get prominently listed in a genuine way.</p>
<p>White Hats work with long-term objectives and within parameters set by the major search engines to avoid the risk of being eliminated from engine databases.</p>
<p>Black hats on the other hand work by using underhand tactics such as spamming and in some extreme cases hacking other websites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An interesting new concept website his hitting the Web. <a href="http://www.hotelhero.co.uk/">Hotel Hero</a> is brand spanking new and hot off the press so done expect much heroics this early on. But surely one to watch out for in the future. Especially seeing as SEO Investigators are keeping an eye on them!</p>
<p>A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis. The provision of basic accommodation, in times past, consisting only of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a washstand has largely been replaced by rooms with modern facilities, including en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning or climate control. Additional common features found in hotel rooms are a telephone, an alarm clock, a television, a safe, a mini-bar with snack foods and drinks, and facilities for making tea and coffee. Luxury features include bathrobes and slippers, a pillow menu, twin-sink vanities, and jacuzzi bathtubs. Larger hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a restaurant, swimming pool, fitness center, business center, childcare, conference facilities and social function services.</p>
<p>Hotel rooms are usually numbered (or named in some smaller hotels and B&amp;Bs) to allow guests to identify their room.</p>
<p>Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and board arrangement. In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food and drinks to all guests within certain stated hours. In Japan, capsule hotels provide a minimized amount of room space and shared facilities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>First: A Website is Essential</h2>
<p>We all know that In today’s market it is considered vital for any company or business to have a website. This is as true for small sole trader companies as it is for large corporations.  Having a website gives your company credibility as well as an easy point of contact for you clients. A web address after all is much easier to remember than a telephone number, or even an email address. More importnat than this though a website can actually make your company more MONEY.</p>
<p>If done correctly a website can generate a huge amount of extra customers thus making your business more profitable and generating more money. There are factors to consider like web marketing and search engine optimisation, but more important than this is the actual website design itself.</p>
<p>Web design should never be taken lightly when building a website. The design is essential if you want to get the attention of the million web users in the world. Moreover, there is also the challenge of standing out against your competitors. As there are countless Internet surfers, your aim is to make life as easy as possible for the people visiting your website. This is done by having an efficient web design which uses the best practises of landing page, or conversion rate optimisation.</p>
<h2>Landing Page and Conversion Page Optimization</h2>
<p>Landing Page Optimization (LPO) or Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) are pretty much the same thing when it comes to web design. The aim is to make the website as user friendly as possible. Having what you offer as clear as possible on the page, preferably illustrated by well selected images. Your telephone number should be clear and prominent, and ideally where possible you should have all your products and services displaying clear and visible prices.  You should also have a clear call to action where the visitor upon impulse can easily purchase your product or contact you regarding the service you are offering.</p>
<h2>Web Design Effectiveness</h2>
<p>The web design itself should be striking and attractive. Once your site appears on a screen, the first thing that people will notice is essentially how it looks. The next thing is do you have what they are looking for. Then how much is it going to cost, and finally can they trust you.  To develop trust you should place trust symbols as prominently as possible. These could be any associations you belong to, or signs of how secure your website is.</p>
<h2>Website Functionality</h2>
<p>Also very important is the website needs to be working. This directions seem simple enough to follow, but you’d be surprised with how many webpages direct people to unusable links. People who go to a site are there because they are either interested in the site or they are interested in wanting to know more about the company. This is especially important for those who will visit your webpage for the very first time. Within a few clicks of the mouse, they should be able to know what they are searching. Consider how fast each page loads as well. Because too many graphics  applications can ultimately slow down the navigation. Efficient navigation is a must if you want people to stay on your website.</p>
<h2>Start Making More Money</h2>
<p>If all of these bases are covered then you should have a website that will entice people to either buy your product or use your services. By gaining extra clients via your website you not only gain extra revenue by increasing your profit margins, but you can even save money by cutting back on the more conventional forms of advertising such as newspaper adverts or directory listings.</p>
<p>Ensure you spend a bit of time on the development and design of your website and it will reward you in ways you never thought possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>A Case For Pure SEO Resources</h1>
<p>These pages are our case files. The discerning investigator will find much information within these pages and we are deliberately keeping it for those that like to dig around a little more instead of having everything in plain view.</p>
<p>We are operating strictly undercover on this website and are not taking on any new SEO projects. Search engine optimization can be a shady workplace and there are many secrets that experts don’t want to see let out. There are what we call black hat techniques and what are known as white hat techniques, and all manner of shades of grey inbetween.</p>
<p>Links are of a huge importance so if any website owner would like to link to this website i’m sure they will be rewarded one way or another.</p>
