About Websites and Blogs Performance

A little earlier today I published an article with the title “About Websites and Blogs” – now let’s look at its Performance on Google.

About Websites and Blogs Performance and the Royal Wedding

As usual, my article on my Author Blog – on a Semiomantics XO Script – made it fast and furiously to the first pages of Google – not yet Google Top 10 – but search returns are a daunting 281 MILLION!!! Within just half an hour I found my post on spot 43 on 281,000,000… that’s lots more in numbers than were at the Royal Wedding today ! So let’s see where this little after-shot takes me.

As part of our duties in Semiomantics Web Design we monitor the performance of our blogs, websites and online publishing. If we don’t appear where we expect to be within a relatively short timeframe – say a few minutes – then we check what went wrong or what has changed. This constant control ensures that our clients can rely on the efficiency – and visibility – of their websites and blogs designed by the Semiomantics Team.

Accommodation Noordhoek (Accomodation Noordhoek)

Some people punch “Accomodation Noordhoek” into the Search Engine when looking for Accommodation in Noordhoek – others may do it the other way round: Noordhoek Accommodation. Each gives us a different search return… and the art is to discover where there are the most searches and the least returns.

Voila – c’est tout… but what sounds so simple is an Art… a Science… and from large corporate companies to small businesses and private people: everybody is in the race of the big Internet Formula 1… and while the REAL Google AdSense game is for big pockets these days, it’s in reach of any ambitious entrepreneur on the Internet to get a Google Top 10 position with their website or blog. And to keep it. . .

Accommodation Noordhoek (Accomodation Noordhoek)

Accommodation Noordhoek is getting increasingly important as FIFA 2010 approaches, bearing in mind that Noordhoek is just about 30 miles away from Cape Town, the Mother City, where the music plays – with or without the Soccer World Cup by the way. So anyone to do with Accomodation in Noordhoek or anywhere else in South Africa focuses on high rankings to capture a maximum of potential clients NOW.

Here we just use the example of the charming “De Noordhoek Hotel” to test the efficiency of Semiomantics Scripts in combination with proper Editing and Publishing. Our first post 7 hours ago brought us several positions on page 3, now we will compete for more.

The Gift of Listening

During this precious yet in many ways loud and commercialized time between Christmas and New Year, find some moments where you give yourself space – ideally in Nature – and… listen.

Become totally still.

Quietly observe the energy and beauty that surround you; open yourself as they slowly embrace and flow into you… dissolving time and space… gently pulling you into a stream of consciousness where you are totally at peace and filled with the joy of just Being. Being connected. Connected with Oneness, Energy, Being.

Once you received this ‘Gift of Listening’… pass it on as the most profound gift you can ever give. Behold its essence as you move into the new year and life’s madness claims you back again…

The Gift of Listening

What do I mean with passing on the “Gift of Listening”?

There is so much talking, chatting, interaction of human minds… and so little real understanding which comes from really listening… meaning giving the other person room and space for expression, for being… and then taking it in with your entire being… feeling… before you think, before you respond, before preparing your own answer, clinging to your own mind, your own ego, your you.

Real listening is being in touch with one another on a much deeper level, a level beyond thought, where we are all One. That’s true Communication where magic can happen.

Thinking of you, Besma Bashier!

Besma Bashier

Talking of Magic!

I am thinking of you, dearest Besma, and your family… as after all this time you have finally settled in your new ‘home’, you are coming to ‘peace’.

I am passing on your good wishes to everyone who reads this and our blessings are with you… and our hope to see your lovely smile and hear your gentle voice live soon again!

Wishing YOU Happy Holidays and a Graceful Moment of Stillness!

Favicons on Semiomantics

When Branding your website you may want to add a little favicon that appears in the browser when anyone looks at your website.

From the various places that allow us to create such favicons, Ycademy suggests to use this tool here.

However, things may differ from script to script; so I add a little write-up of how to create a favicon when using a Semiomantics Script.

Favicons on Semiomantics

In the case of setting up a little favicon on Semiomantics – meaning your Semiomantics based Blog or Website -, you simply go to the site I indicated above and under “Image to create Icon from” you browse to your picture folder and search for the little picture you wish to use.

Here it is important to bear in mind that that picture will be tiny as you will see in the 16×16 FavIcon preview. It needs to nevertheless be sharp. So think of a simple form or a single letter and create a picture for this in your Photoshop. While I have several variations, the one I use currently is a simple B in the font I am using all over. . . but I created that picture in a much bigger format first. You can use jpg, gif, png and bmp – and if you need a transparency, use a gif or a png – the maximum file size being 150.00 kb.

So once you have browsed to your favorite flavicon on your harddrive, click on “Create Favicon” and if it’s what you want as you can see under “Preview”, then click on “Download Favicon”. I saved it automatically in my Download Folder.

As a next step, I uploaded this favicon straight into my www where I want to use it, a simple copy/paste transfer.

Next you test it – like in my case on http://biancagubalke.com/favicon.ico

Now comes the tricky part as you are instructed to insert a little code in the head section of your pages… right? And now you wonder… and that’s where Semiomantics Scripts come in with their forward planning setup: you do not need to do anymore when using Favicons on Semiomantics Scripts!

Relax… and see your favicon appearing sooner or later…  while you can continue with your day.
