Casual Articles - Website Redesign - A Perilous Road
Some of the most talented people in our society are in trouble with the law. Some are serving time in federal and state prisons. Some are waiting to be sentenced for crimes of which they have been convicted in courts of law.From my experience, those who succeed temporally in life started from a spiritual base. They were raised in good homes and benefited from neighborhood, church, and school leaders. Many were Little Leaguers and good Boy Scouts. Now they are in trouble and their families are humiliated.What went wrong?Sarbanes-Oxley ActI extracted and shortened the following from http://www.criminaldefenseassociates.com/crimes/whitecollarIn the wake of the Enron/Arthur Anderson

Blog is short for ‘Web Log’ and a web log is simply a web site, one to which the owner adds articles, news reports, product updates and other information to benefit visitors or actual customers.But unlike typically creating your web site offline and moving regularly online to update changes, a Blog can be created, added to, and amended entirely online. Even better while most web sites you design and upload yourself can be costly in terms of time, money and effort, some very good blogging sites can be obtained very inexpensively, often free of charge.Your Blog can also be monetized in much the same ways as other web sites, including article sites, article directories, forwarding sites, and so on. So we are l
Page Rank and organic listings are important only if enough people are contacting you for your product or service. This is your “ROI”. This is your rate of return on your investment of time, energy and money. Most businesses have a “big room for improvement”. Like most other businesses, I am very interested in achieving higher page rank and ROI. According to Google.com:
“PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important." Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your query. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query.”
It is logical that if you redesign your site in such a way as it appears to be a brand new site to the Google search engines, you start de novo with no page rank and no other pages “voting” for you. No matter how much you have achieved in terms of Page Rank, or if you have achieved number one, page one status for a keyword in terms of being found on a search of the web, you may have created a “don’t get out of jail, don’t collect $200, don’t pass go” type of situation for yourself, at least in the internet short run.

If two parties are on opposite sides of a contract and they want to reach a win-win resolution, that means that they must observe the Golden Rule during negotiations. Specifically, both parties must treat each other fairly and be completely honest. They also need to communicate openly and not withhold relevant information. There should be full disclosure of any facts relevant to the transaction.Respect is one of the most important elements of treating people well. Both parties must respect each other’s time, needs, finances, family situation, and any other circumstance that may affect the negotiations. As part of showing respect, each party should treat the other party professionally and conduct themselves prof

Meetings – in business they are very important, but you can have too much of a good thing. Meetings are also time consuming and expensive and often take you and your staff away from more profitable activities. So how do you make meetings effective and profitable?First of all why hold a meeting? These are the only reasons I could find. * Communication - what’s going on?

Planning a fund raising event can be an overwhelming task to carry out, but if you have the will to do it, everything is possible. You also have to know that fund raising is a win-win situation, because people generally like to take part in any activities that involve helping worthy individuals or causes that will benefit from those efforts.You can name a lot of reasons to raise money and there are as many fund raising ideas available for you to choose from. But, selecting the best idea alone takes careful planning, which means half as daunting as planning a fund raising event can be. However, if you have to follow certain steps during the organization of this event, you might get away with it with a successful resu

Imagine a mirror that is really one way glass. In the movies, there is a common scene where the criminal suspect is being interviewed by the police in a room with a mirror that reflects his image. On the other side of the mirror, invisible to the suspect may be the victim or other policemen looking in at the proceedings. A website is like a one way glass mirror.
When you click on a website, you see what the designers want you to see. The public’s mirror: Images, text, marketing, things that move or flash, contact information, site maps, search for content engines, links to other sites, examples of products or services. What you cannot see are many if not most of the things the search engines see. Many of these things are technical and well beyond the scope of this article, and this author’s expertise. But a little knowledge is dangerous. What went wrong?
It appears that the search engines, when looking at the “other side of the one way mirror” may have concluded that this was a brand new site. Perhaps the files that were a part of the web site were renamed. Perhaps the domain name of the site was changed. Perhaps animation, called flash, or pull down menus prevented the search engines from “seeing” the website because of their design. Perhaps in the design of the new site, the former inbound links no longer are counted by the search engines. Perhaps the designer did not use any metatags. According to Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Watch, “Metatags are not a magic solution.”
“What are meta tags? They are information inserted into the "head" area of your web pages. Other than the title tag, information in the head area of your web pages is not seen by those viewing your pages in browsers. Instead, meta information in this area is used
