Escort Web Designer Choices and Search Engine Optimization

Escort Web Designer Choices and Search Engine Optimization

Google SEO (search engine optimization) and you’ll find hundreds of listings for sites that offer SEO services. These companies promise to submit your site to thousands of search engines and directories and make your site SEO-friendly. Many of these companies do quality work at reasonable prices. Good for them! I hope they succeed. Unfortunately, many others charge outrageous fees for services that, to me, seem unnecessary.

Any website that’s designed correctly and contains plenty of text will soon start to index high with most search engines after minimal submission. No extra work needed. It’s that simple.

So the question is, do you care about SEO? For escorts and other adult entertainers, the answer should be yes. Why? Free advertisement, plain and simple. Many potential clients don’t know where you may advertise. They will plug in a few key phrases into search engines to look for local entertainment. Wouldn’t it be nice if your beautiful site came up on the first or second page of major search engines? It’s a no-brainer.

If you realize the usefulness of SEO and want your new website to be found in search engines with little effort on your part, you need to think about a few things before choosing an escort web designer.

There are many ways a designer can build a site in a search-engine friendly manner. These include proper positioning of the navigation bar, proper use of “alt” tags in conjunction with photos, and strategic placement of keywords.

That’s only part of the SEO picture, though. Page titles and meta-tags in your website design are vital to SEO. These are crucial elements to SEO that are set in the header section of your web pages. Not all escort web designers offer this simple SEO service in their website designs. If the designer you’re interested in doesn’t offer this, inquire if it’s available before signing up. There are also numerous articles to be found online that give instructions so you can create your own page titles and meta-tags. For the do-it-yourselfer, this can be a good option. Make sure that once your website is complete, you’ll have access to your control panel so you can make these additions yourself.

Another piece of the picture is a Google Sitemap. Don’t confuse this with a regular sitemap, which is part of a website design and acts as a roadmap for visitors to your site. A Google Sitemap is an xml document loaded into your control panel and submitted to Google using Google’s Webmaster Tools. This Sitemap basically asks Google to index your pages. Keep in mind that no one can force Google or any search engine to do anything. All you can do is gently suggest.

Creating, downloading, and submitting a Google Sitemap is also something you’re capable of doing on your own, with a little help from instructions you can find on the web. Again, check with your prospective designer, as you’ll need access to your website control panel to install your Sitemap.

Your site will also need to be submitted to search engines. The big three are Google, Yahoo, and Bing, which recently overtook Yahoo as the number two search engine in the US, following Google. There’s also dmoz open Directory Project. Once you submit your site there, hundreds of other search engines will pick it up. All of these search engines are free to submit to and can be done easily yourself in just a few minutes. All you have to do is Google “submit website to” and the search engine of yourself to find links to submit your site. It’s easy!

It’s been my experience that a website designed with SEO in mind and including the few SEO tips listed above can list on the first page of Google in as little as a week or up to six months. Much also depends on the amount of text in your site (the more the better) and keywords that are included in your text (much more the better).

Remember that with search engines, you must be patient. It takes time for your pages to be indexed and start showing up in searches. The ways of the search engine bots can be incomprehensible. So once your site or newly-adopted SEO practices are complete, be prepared to wait for everything to take effect.

When you choose your escort web designer or adult website SEO service, take all of this into consideration and decide what’s best for you. Use your common sense and don’t throw money away on SEO schemes that seem too good to be true.

Escort Website Design Updates- Who’s looking after your website?

Escort Website Design Updates- Who’s looking after your website?

You have a brand new gorgeous website and business is good. Everything is wonderful.

But wait. Now you need something on your site changed. Maybe you need to update your schedule. Or do you want to submit an ad that requires a banner link exchange? Perhaps you’d like to add a friend’s banner. What do you do?

Before you chose your escort web designer, did you consider updates that you would need to make?

Do you know your designer’s policy?

If you did, good for you! You know how to go about having these changes made and can go on your merry way.

If you did and have access to your control panel and are capable of doing updates yourself, even better!

If you neither of the above applies, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise.

Every escort web designer has a different policy for making website updates, otherwise known as webmaster service. Some include updates in all designs while some charge an additional fee for updates. Others include updates but restrict the amount and type of changes you can make. Many designers don’t offer any maintenance service at all.

Since website updates are inevitable, before you decide on your designer, make sure you know what your prospective designer’s policy is. For designers who include webmaster service, find out what type of updates are included. There’s usually a discrepancy between simple text updates and photo updates, which generally take longer for a webmaster to do.

Ask how long updates are included for. Six months, one year, for life? This is important for you to know! Find out how long it will take updates to be done. It’s a very good idea to contact some of the designer’s clients for a reference regarding their reliability with updates.

Some designers, including myself, not only include website updates with our escort web design packages, but we also generally “keep an eye” on your site. To me, that includes visual checks to make sure your site is displaying properly. I also consider checking your website’s error logs important. Not only can this practice determine any possible errors visitors receive while viewing your site, it can also indicate security risks.

It’s also possible to hire a webmaster for an existing website. Always check with your designer before signing up for website updates elsewhere, as this may be in violation of your prior agreement with your designer.

As always, decide what’s important to you and do your research before signing up with any adult web designer or adult webmaster.

Adult Web Hosting with Escort Design Packages – Guidelines

Adult Web Hosting with Escort Web Design Packages – Guidelines

Many web hosting companies, both adult and mainstream, attempt to lure in customers with promises of huge amounts of disk space and bandwidth for minimal prices. While some of these companies are legitimate and offer great service, do your research before signing up with one!

There’s no such thing as unlimited disk space and bandwidth. It’s impossible. Just like every computer has a certain amount of disk space, so do servers. Imagine trying to buy a computer with an unlimited hard drive!

This is a tactic called overselling. In a nutshell, companies that make extravagant offers are betting on the fact that you’ll only use a fraction of the space allotted to you and hiding from you your real limits. If you go over what they consider appropriate usage, your account may be suspended without notice or you may receive unexpected overusage charges.

Please check all hosting service terms and conditions carefully, as this is where they usually hide this information in a way that’s difficult for the average consumer to understand.

Many escort web designers offer hosting accounts along with a website design. This is a great convenience, as it saves time and money for you. Unfortunately, many web designers offer hosting without providing any details.

Before you purchase a web design package that includes web hosting, find out exactly what the hosting terms are, how much disk space and bandwidth you’re allotted, what access you’ll have to your control panel, what the policies are regarding over-usage, etc. Be informed before you make a decision and you’ll be happier afterward!

Some escort web designers also charge exorbitant fees for adult web hosting. While most hosts must charge slightly higher fees for adult hosting due to the risk factor involved with adult hosting, there’s no reason to think that just because your website is adult in nature, you’re stuck paying through the nose each month for hosting service.

If the designer you’re considering charges more than what you think you should pay for hosting, again, make inquiries and find out exactly what you’re getting for your money.

When it comes to adult web hosting with escort website design packages, don’t let yourself be taken advantage of. Research your options, become familiar with terms, arm yourself with knowledge so you can make the best decision for yourself!
