Javascript Pop Up Boxes

July 29, 2011

Filed under: SEO — Tags: — Becki @ 3:06 pm

There are three kinds of Javascript popup boxes (also referred to as dialogue boxes, Javascript dialogue, popup dialogue), an alert box, a confirm box or a prompt box. Each pop up box is used for different reasons to promt users to do different things.

The different kinds of Javscript and their uses are:

  • Alert box – used to ensure information is recieved by the user, they usually have to click ‘OK’ or ‘continue’ to continue on to the page they’re looking for. Often used as warnings of some kind, e.g. ‘This site required Flash’.
  • Confirm box – used to make the user either confirm or cancel something. If the user clicks to confirm, usually either ‘OK’, ‘Yes’ or ‘Confirm’ they will then be taken to the page they were clicked to proceed to, but if they click ‘Cancel or ‘No’ they will usually be taken back to the page they were previously on. An example of when these are used is for age verification, e.g. ‘Confirm you are at least 18 years of age’.
  • Promt box – users must input information before they can continue. If the user enters the valid data they will be taken to the page they clicked to proceed to, if they choose to cancel they will usually be taken to the page they were previously on. Could be used if the user is required to enter a code or their name to proceed.

Here at UK SEO Agency, we are able to enable any of the three Javacript popup boxes where necessary on your site. If you’d like to enquire about putting a Javascript popup box on your site, fill out an enquiry form on our website www.ukeseoagency.co.uk and we will get in touch as soon as possible.

Google analytics is a free service created by Google which allows you to track and monitor your sites traffic and view how effective your marketing is. It is aimed towards marketers as they can view how well their marketing campaigns are working, and what needs changing or improving.

Thr primary use of Google analytics is to monitor your websites traffic and track how users are getting to your site. For example, Google analytics produces charts showing how much traffic is being generated from Google organic searches, any CPC ad’s you may have, etc. From this you can then decide where you want to focus your marketing, depending on which areas are producing better results.

You can also view which pages of your site are attracting more users and therefore focus more attention on these pages and market them more specifically. Charts are produced to show you on which pages users are leaving your site, inlcuding during which point of purchasing an item users are leaving the checkout process. A chart shows you the exact number of users which are leaving on each page of the transaction and gives you a general idea of the reason they’ve left. This then allows you to review your checkout process and make any changes necessary to improve the process.

You can also track email marketing and social networking which is good as these are more modern forms of marketing that more and more companies are using to advertise.

There are many more features of Google analytics, these are just a few of the most important ones used. If you’d like to be able to review and improve your site using Google analytics, why not contact us here at UK SEO Agency as we currently use this feature to monitor sites we develop. You can contact us by filling out our enquiry form on our website www.ukseoagency.co.uk and we’ll get in touch with you as soon as possible.

How to SEO Flash Websites

July 23, 2011

Filed under: SEO — Becki @ 1:10 pm

If you are considering developing a Flash website, stop and think about it first. Although these sort of websites may look good and plenty of users will enjoy them, not all users will and its these users you need to consider when creating your website. Users such as those with dial up connections would find flash websites difficult to use as it could take a few minutes to load each flash page, immediately putting them off.

If you still want to create your website with flash then there are ways you can keep all customers happy and ensure your site can be viewed by everyone, regardless of their internet type. The best way to have a flash website is to also create a duplicate HTML version of your site, giving users the option to choose which format they wish to view your site in. This would also keep search engines happy as they’d be able to view your site and rank it based on the HTML.

Another way you could create a sucessful flash website is  to create the website in HTML format, then use flash as a replacement for images, banners and to add mini-movies. This would allow search engines to rank your site as they could review the basic HTML format and base your ranking on that. An even better option is to create your site in HTML first, let that get recognised and ranking in search engines, then start adding flash as time goes on and your rankings get higher. Although this may take longer, the chances are your website could get a higher ranking a lot easier than by starting with a flash site.

If you do include flash mini-movies in your site, especially for introductions to your home page, its advisable to include skip buttons for each as regular customers will get bored of having to sit through the same introduction each time they view your site, and other users just won’t want to watch them at all!

If you would like to include flash on a website, why not get in touch with us here at UK SEO Agency by filling out our enquiry form and we can contact you and discuss the best way to develop your site. Our enquiry form can be found on our website www.ukseoagency.co.uk.
