1. Your site is a laboratory, not a sculpture. Sometimes we’ll have a client that wants their site, or a page to be 100% perfect before it goes live. Sometimes, this is also when their old page is either hideous and SEO and visual cryptonite, or it doesn’t even exist at all. I like to get the new page live as soon as possible, then tweak it as we go.

2. Calls to action. He emphasizes the importance of these on a page.

“Too often calls to action are hidden, by a loaded page with too many graphic elements, by appearing below the fold or by a bad design choice (too small, faint color, or a button that does not look like a button). By improving the call to action and making it prominent on the page, you can sometimes boost your conversion rates drastically”

3. Testing tools:

• Google Website Optimizer
• Amadesa
• SiteSpect
• Autonomy Optimost
• Omniture Test & Target

There are more good tips, but I like these three the best. It’s important to continually be trying to make each page reach it’s maximum potential.

SEOmoz Whiteboard Friday – Architecture for Commerce with Dr. Pete from Scott Willoughby on Vimeo.

Twitter added a new search feature, and I like it. They made their mark on the blogosphere with their micro-blogs and now they are doing it again with search. When you want the most current information, and want to know what’s the buzz right now…twitter search is perfect. Up to the second results that grab what people are tweeting about. Kinda cool.

The look and feel is classic twitter minimalistic design. Big search box, great call to action, what’s popular this week, today and right now. Add a new twitter bird and you’ve got the new layout.

Who knows, with people being so hyper sensitive about the timeliness of their information- I can see an application. Thoughts?

Thanks for visiting…and we hope you enjoy your stay!
