Its real! Its darn real!

Facebook has achieved massive market penetration worldwide and New Zealand is no exception. Accordingly, Google now factors Likes and Shares into its ranking algorithm. Recent research by SEOmoz suggests that of the two, Facebook Shares may carry more SEO authority (and is therefore more likely to yield you ranking gains) than Likes. It is important for websites to create “likeable” and “shareable” content users will want to tell their friends about. You may have noticed that madMinute as of this morning has now placed the Like button at the bottom of its post to achieve higher google ranking.

Google has confirmed in the past that tweets count towards rankings. Specifically, being tweeted about by a user with a significant number of followers, and people they follow back, has more authority than a user with only a handful. Tweets from top contributors are also more likely to be retweeted, meaning your business should be looking at strategies to get these people to talk about you as a future proofing measure.

It still takes a bit of time and effort to have someone constantly monitoring and interacting with your clients via social networks. Make sure you have the time or staff members to proceed with marketing via Social Media. The golden rule is not to spend more than 15 minutes per day total on all social media websites, “Yea Right”. Make sure that one in every 3 posts should be about, you, the company,or the product you are trying to sell.

If you want quality websites and designs, please call us 0800 623 123 but we wont be doing any websites for a $1.50. : )

Tip #1 Screen Printing Sizes.
Below are the maximum size most screen printers can do on one screen. I have been hit by dirty screen printing companies, that A4 was as big as they could go, and would need to use two screens to fit my image on the t shirt.
Maximum size measurements:
Mens tees – 380mm x 440mm
Ladies tees – 280mm x 440mm

Tip #2 Front and Back Designs
If you have a design that needs to be on both sides of the apparel and can fit on to the measurements provided above, no extra charge should be added for a new screen. Sweet talk your printers that both sides should count as one print. Most companies will try and charge you for X amount of colours for the front print, and X amount of colours for the back print, even if you are using the same colours.




Tip #3 – Watch Out For Set-Up Charges
Screen printers charge roughly $60 dollars per colour to set up your screens and film. I have knock this down to $15 dollars in the past. Mention competitors in the same area have dropped the prices down for you. If that doesn’t work, explain you’re a first time customer and need the discount to make this possible for you to come back and use their services again.

Tip #4 – Providing Print-Ready Artwork Save you $$$!
This is another factor that most companies use to take advantage of customers because, by doing so, they get to charge additional “artwork” charges.
Make sure all your colours are separated in different layers, correct colour palette is used and the image is ready for print at 200DPI or higher. Last but not least make sure your design is the correct size to be displayed on the apparel.

Tip #5 –Sample a few prints first!
Any time im doing a large order of apparel printing, 500+ Im always conscious that there’s will be something wrong with the design. Have the screen printers print you one or two samples. Test them, stretch the material, see if the paint cracks or not on the t shirt, put it in the wash a dozen times. Just be sure you are comfortable before you do the bulk print.

Tip #6 – Don’t Let Screen Printers Choose Your T-Shirts For You!
Get your hands dirty and test the material of what apparel you want the printers to print on. If you leave it to them, they will use their cheapest brand that they have lying out back in some old storage room.

Tip #7 Set A Completion Date.
Get it in writing how fast they will be able to to complete the printing for you. This is their deadline and they will stick to it, if you ask for it.

Feel free to contact us regarding screen printing and designing material for apparel. We are associated with a number of screen printers and embroideries around Auckland and can provided discount prices.

Cheers

I decided to share this, as it is one of the common questions my new clients ask on how to improve their website ranking in search engines.

The following are some of the smart free techniques. If you are looking at how to write proper ad campaigns online I shall be discussed this in another article.

Search engines aren’t impressed with streaming video, vibrant music in the background or all those hard-to-find fonts. Within a single heartbeat, search engines ever-so-quickly scan Web pages not for the best features and pictures, but for words, KEY-Words.

Lets start with the easy stuff:
The search engine “bots” scan left to right from the top of the page. Usually a lot of people place their menus on the left hand side because of this, what is important is that all tags are filled out with the key words about your product or business. Example Leaving the “title” tag empty is also very common. This is one of the most important places to have a keyword, because not only does it help you in optimization but the text in your “title” tag shows in the search results as your page title.

Avoid many forms of scripting languages:
Specially for your websites “landing pages” your main pages you set up for people to see first, need to avoid heavy use of javascript or any other scripting language. Search Engine robots as per their algorithm do not read JavaScript codes, and if the websites HTML has been coded incorrectly, bots don’t like this as well.

The big myth about using flash content:
Try to avoid excessive use of frames and flash, but there are tools that can help you generate key words with in the flash content when using flash. Also create alternative HTML pages.
SE-Flash.com:
Here is a tool that visually shows what from your Flash files is visible to search engines and what is not.
Flash Search Engine SDK
If you are using flash, this is GOD! The most advanced tool to extract text from a Flash movie. One of the handiest applications in the Flash Search Engine SDK is the tool named swf2html. As it name implies, this tool extracts text and links from a Macromedia Flash file and writes the output unto a standard HTML document, thus saving you the tedious job to do it manually.

Updates:
Regularly update your website, or add more pages, Hmmm is this the reason for this article…. You be the judge.

The importance of links:
When the “bots” find a link, they will scan that link, and retrieve information to see if they are active and if the website is working. So it is important to have your website linked with others. But its not about quantity, but quality, you will want to be associated with websites that have high volume of traffic.
Make sure you use appropriate key words when linking from some one else’s site to yours Choose about a half dozen keyword variations for your site and mix them up when you build links, don’t want to be seen as SPAM. For example, if the theme of your site is: strength training, you could also use the following keyword variations to build incoming links:
Strength Training Website, Strength Training Article, Strength Building Tips, Beginner Strength Training, etc…
Don’t do more than 15 links a day, you will be seen as a spam site if you do, and can get you blocked from Search engines.

Last but not least: Check Availability of Server
The web server on which your website is hosted should be 24 X 7 up as search engine robots can visit your website anytime. So many clients brag that they pay peanuts for their hosting, overseas in 3rd world countries, but when their site goes down it takes them days to finally contact the right person. This is a headache I can not endure, and for my New Zealand clients I use a well respected New Zealand hosting company that have 24 hours customer service.

If you wish to gain any more information on having better SEO results, website desing and development or just hosting, give us a call.

Armageddon Expo Auckland 2010, has come and gone!

We had a great time at the expo, and our T shirt designs seem to be very popular. Cute Killer teddy bear T shirt nearly sold out in hours of the first day at the expo. Another big hit, which everyone commented about was the zombie hands, and how it looked to be grabbing females in a particular place. The real question here is, did madMinute purposely plan this type of design to have that effect? Only we will know that answer.

Cant wait for next year!
