			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently applied my<a title="seo power package" href="http://www.websitestrategies.com.au/pay-on-results-seo-power-package/"> SEO Power Package</a>, to my client Wedding For You.   The package involves link building which targets 20 themed phrases stemmed from a primary top level phrase.  The phrases and links support one another and drive the primary higher up the Google search results.</p>
<p><strong>Services applied</strong></p>
<p>Wedding For You is an online <a title="wedding gifts" href="http:/www.weddingforyou.co.nz" >wedding gifts</a> and <a title="wedding supplies" href="http://www.weddingforyou.co.nz" >wedding supplies</a> shopping website which was less than 12 months old and wasn&#8217;t ranking on page #1 of Google NZ search results for any valuable search phrase.  I undertook a technical optimisation to remove any barriers to effective indexing of the website by Google, keyword tuned all page content and added additional content to support additional search terms. Links into the website were developed and generated from a variety of sources including online Press Releases, blog and forum commenting and targeted link placement.</p>
<p><strong>Results</strong></p>
<p>After 3 weeks following completion of the work the website has reached page #1 of the Google NZ search results for the phrases targeted:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I cannot stress enough the importance of paying attention to the conversion rate of your website.  This is the rate at which your website converts visitors into key actions, whether that be online sales, enquiries or downloads.</p>
<p>Absolutely under-considered by most website owners and managers whose attention is fixated on website position in the Google search results, the improvement of your website&#8217;s conversion rate can generate increased business from your website almost overnight.  Afterall, you already have visitors to your website, so why not get as much business from them as possible?  Once high conversion rates are achieved then any other efforts which involve raising the numbers of visitors to your website, whether it be SEO or online/offline marketing efforts, will be just so much more worthwhile in terms of generating good ROI and quality business.</p>
<p>Improving your website&#8217;s conversion rate involves changing the content, design, structure or navigation pathways of your website to optimise efficiency, ensure maximum retention of visitors and flow of visitors from entry through to action.  It involves getting your message right (ensuring it matches the intent of your visitors and is targeted to your market).  Fundamental to improving your conversion rate is measuring, analysing and understanding your current visitor activity so that sound decisions can be made regarding the changes you need to make to your website, and then continually monitoring so that the success or otherwise of changes can be understood and efforts adjusted as required.  This tracking and analysis can involve the use of analytics tracking code, heatmaps which show mouse movement patterns and click patterns, form conversion analysis and even the screen recording of visitor activity.  Without these tools you are really flying blind; with them you will have most of the answers and the information you need to improve your website conversion rates.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve applied these tools and techniques to many websites with excellent results, notable examples recently include www.a1drivingschool.co.nz and www.easyblinds.co.nz both of whom are enjoying conversion rates in excess of 10%.</p>
<p><a title="website conversion rates" href="http://www.websitestrategies.com.au/website-conversion-optimisation-sunshine-coast/">Let me know if I can assist with the improvement of your website&#8217;s conversion rate &gt; </a></p>
