Technology is moving at a very rapid pace and many website owners are finding they are behind the times. Here are our top five website requirements that every website must have to meet today's consumer standards:

Link exchanges have been common practice among website owners. For obvious reason, Google likes links. Google also likes reviews and this is just one way to improve your ranking in Google MAPS and help your fellow businesses.

Search, as you know it, will diminish. www.google.com traffic will begin to decline. Cable content providers like TWC will start to decline as internet content takes over. Here’s how to take advantage of these trends now. I’m not predicting the demise of Google, far from it! Search will find you… you won’t have to search SEO will still be a necessity (it doesn’t matter how the search is conducted…it just matters that you show up in the search).

I gotta go look at this thing! I spend probably 8 hours plus a day in front of a computer and all of that time requires that I be online. It's rare that I'm doing something that is offline.

Over the last year or so, a new wave of web design strategies has hit the market with the specific intent to afford the rising mobile browser / smart phone accessibility to the website. Unless your business has taken advantage of this technology, the tiny screen on a smart phone will render your website the functional equivalent of an unreadable thumbnail version of your site. You can pinch and poke to read the site, but most people will find that to be too cumbersome.

Linking strategies have long been the base of many SEO firms. And for good reason...it worked? The landscape is changing and that can be good news and bad news.
