<seo title="Importance of site" metakeywords="site importance" metadescription="9 ways to improve your site" /><div align=justify>Starting business is always not easy. At the very beginning, when you are a small company, it is very difficult to compete with big companies. As they say, the bigger, the better. But there is a number of tricks you can do to make you seem bigger.

'''''1. Choose proper templates'''''

Every company has to have a personal site. Nowadays creating a site is not that difficult as there is a huge variety of site templates available.
Some of them are free, some are not. But the trick here is that you'll need to upload them to your site via FTP. In case you are familiar with it, that won't be a problem. But if not? The best and the easiest way here will be to use some site builder tool that already has templates installed (e.g. Wordpress, Joomla, etc.) Wordpress templates can be used to create a blog though it may look as a simple website. Having a blog will allow you to update the information on your site more often which is noticed by the visitors and search engines crawlers.
 
'''''2. Create your brand empire'''''

Making your site look consistent is important. Start building your brand with adding your company name to all major social networks: Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Upload your logo and choose the same color scheme as well for people to see a consistent look of your brand.

'''''3. Create your own email'''''

This is considered one of the best tricks. Most hosting companies allow you to have an unlimited number of mailboxes linked to your domain (e.g. something@yourdomain.com). Create mailboxes like 'help@yourdomain.com' or 'contact@yourdomain.com'. This may make people think you have your own server. You can also set a forwarder for all these mailboxes to your home account(e.g. @gmail.com)

'''''4. Raise popularity'''''

This trick is to add your content to the places where people spend a lot of time. Some people look for photos on Facebook, others look for videos on YouTube. So, if you have photos, add them to Facebook an link to your site. Do the same with videos on YouTube. By doing this you allow people to find you at their 'homes' (i.e. the places they like to hang out). Just make sure that everything you add lead back to your site.
 
'''''5. Make yourself an expert'''''

Start posting on blogs, forums, Twitter. This will provide you with a very important thing called authority. Add reviews, write articles and make sure them link back to your site. Quite soon you'll come to be considered an expert and all these linking will place you high in search engines.
 
'''''6. Let the world know about you'''''

Social media is a great way to widen your company. It allows you to work with people all over the world. This may make you the leader not only in some definite location, but almost everywhere (except for places where there are no computers and Internet :-)).

'''''7. Make it out loud'''''

Using sites allowing to leave feedbacks, reviews can attract more visitors to your site. Ask your customers to give you feedback. You may also ask the customers to write a testimonial for you. It is proved that people will trust other people more than ads.

'''''8. Add video to your website'''''

Having a video presentation of your company is useful. Though you may consider it expensive or difficult, be sure it's worth it. Though the quality may vary depending on what you do and what service you provide, it has to be always clear and understandable.

'''''9. Exchange links with partners'''''

One of the best ways to generate more traffic and increase your offerings is to work out an agreement to place the weblinks on the other's site. These shouldn't obligatory be the companies providing similar services. Just choose people with businesses or products that you like, trust, and would recommend.

One more thing. Everything above will not be possible without having a stable website. Constant downtime won't gain any popularity. [http://myidealhost.com/payments/cgi-bin/pay.cgi?plan=Standard Here] you can order stable hosting with 99.9% server uptime</div><br>
