| A recently conducted Search Engine study examined the
links users followed on the search engine results page. They found that 42% of
users clicked the top result, and 8% of users clicked the second result.This
confirms previous studies that the number one result gets many more clicks than
all other results. |
 |
In this study, the researchers did a second test, wherein they secretly
swapped the order of the top two search hits. The original number two entry in
the search engine's prioritization ended up on top, and the top entry was
relegated to second place. Although the search results were different, users
still clicked on the top entry 34% of the time and on the second hit 12% of the
time.
What does this mean to your web site? |

If you've read anything at all about the Internet, you'll probably know at least three things: Websites are the most exciting way to interact, personally and business-wise, Online Visibility and Branding through Search Engine Listings can be really, I mean really, complicated for a newcomer/layman and lastly paid Search Engine Listings can get absolutely, outrageously, often unaffordably expensive.
 MindStar NetCorp is set to change all that ... Our solutions are different from the normal claims of Search Engine Optimisers.
* For a start, they are not complicated. Each activity of our SEO solution is a well-researched and planned activity on it's own. We use well-researched up-to-date tools for each task including researching keywords (an onerous difficult task), thereby making it easy for the client to understand the importance and utility of the process through facts and figures.
* We follow ethical and legitimate ways of optimisation with a "devil in the details" attitude. Each and every step is a well-thought out process and we take care to monitor and review our work for each individual client with the latest SEO tools.
* Our achievements speak for themselves and we pride ourselves on our deliveries. And most of our achieved listings have stayed on the top of the charts for many a month thereby enabling our clients to harvest the benefits of their SEO investments for longer than usual ranking tenures.
* Our processes involve hands-on customised SEO solutions right from readying pages for Search Engines to selecting the relevant domain keywords to link exchanges to ranking reports, in direction with our clients online objectives and website dynamics.

| Global Resource Systems' campaign manager shows how smart management of your email list can lower the cost of acquisitions to zero. We have known that there are considerable costs incurred for every direct marketing or interactive marketing activity which are usually distributed over the final number of signed up customers for the product or service. |
 | This tends to be generally high due to the low percentages being achieved in conversion ratios for the above based campaigns. |

 A good way to get insight into the complexity of web design is to compare it to more familiar design disciplines. Like web sites, buildings are designed to support a wide range of experiences, which involves design from the high-level architecture to signage and interior furnishings.
Understanding the compromises made in the design of buildings can help us appreciate the scope of the web design process.
Once we fully appreciate the depth and breadth of the web design problem space and the design discipline that addresses it, I hope our industry will be able to move on from discussing the relative merits of usability science, branding and graphic art, and concentrate on exploring together how we can all work together to do better design. |
