Bring Down the Bounce Rate for Getting Proper Website Traffic

13.07.2010 | Author: spinxwebdesign | Posted in SEO

Decreasing the bounce rate is very important if you are looking ahead of analytics, especially if this rate is high and you want to bring it down. As a website owner you would definitely wish that the visitor’s gets busy with your site and conduct any buying or selling action in order to meet up the goals.

Google has constant watch on websites that use Google Analytics. You might not be directly told by Google about it but they keep track of what your website is doing for the bounce rate. They do this because if the bounce rate is higher, that implies that web page they show to the visitors is not relevant to the website search. It creates the impression with visitors that Google is not doing what they are supposed to, that is giving relevant search results. Search engine also might think that the site has set-up links with invalid information.

Three Things You Need To Know About Website Design

Jonathan Kranz writes that he often winces at the missed opportunities he sees in B2C and B2B websites. “There may be nothing particularly 'wrong' about the design, the underlying coding, or even the writing,” he says at MarketingProfs, “but these websites aren't right, because they fail to connect with customers in any meaningful way.”

So when it's time to launch or redesign your company's website, consider advice like this:

Keep your eyes firmly focused on the ways your customers will use your site. “[T]oo many enterprises initiate their Web efforts by reviewing their competitors' sites,” he notes. This practice, however, comes with a built-in problem. “Without critical information about how well these sites perform, how can you know what's worth retaining or rejecting?”

Think of your site as a crossroads through which visitors pass on their way to other social-networking destinations. “How will your site relate to those other sources?” he asks. “Can you develop content that can be spread and shared across the Web? Are there opportunities to encourage links back to your site?”

San Francisco has voted to require all retailers to display the amount of radiation cell phones emit. The law is the first of its kind in the U.S.

The administration of mayor Gavin Newsom called the vote a major victory for cell phone shoppers' right to know.

According to the New York Times:

“Under the law, retailers will be required to post materials — in at least 11-point type — next to phones, listing their specific absorption rate, which is the amount of radio waves absorbed into the cell phone user's body tissue.

The American Swedish Institute (ASI) says its new cultural center in south Minneapolis will have — appropriately enough — Swedish design elements.

The news relates to ASI’s recent unveiling of designs for the Nelson Cultural Center, a 34,000-square-foot addition that will rise up next to the old Turnblad Mansion at 26th Street and Park Avenue.

The institute, which has raised $11 million toward a $21.5 million goal for the addition and mansion improvements, has enlisted the services of Minneapolis-based HGA Architects and Engineers for the project.

“Drawing inspiration from Swedish architecture and landscapes and working with Swedish designers has been an exciting aspect of this project,” Tim Carl, lead architect and vice president at HGA Architects and Engineers, said in a statement.

Human Desolation”I had a problem with those apocalyptic covers,” graphic and web designer Gustavo Sazes told Noisecreep. “I simply don't like doing a remake of a 'Mad Max' meets 'Escape from N.Y.' scene, so sometimes I have to say no to tons of bands who wants me to do that. But with HD it was really different. I said yes.”

Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, Human Desolation release their first album proper in 'Project Wasteland' — their first release being a demo from 2008. Under the Abstrata design moniker, Sazes adds one more project to the countless numbers he has finished, which include clients like Manowar, Arch Enemy and God Forbid.

Saab Revs Ads to Drive New Models

June 30, 2010

- Elaine Wong

Swedish auto brand Saab has made a comeback to general media advertising following its spin-off from General Motors earlier this year.

Saab is running ads across television, radio, print and online, marking its TV return as part of a new company. (GM sold the brand to the Netherlands-based Spyker Cars in February.)

Called “Change Perspective,” the campaign introduces a new tagline: “Move your mind.” It plays up the automaker's Scandinavian roots, “clean design and efficient performance,” while raising awareness of new vehicles, according to Saab. (The automaker is launching four new cars in the next 12 months, including the Saab 9-5, which hits dealerships in mid-July.)

Print ads running in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today show a close-up of a Saab 9-3, heralded by ad copy like, “Performance is in our nature.” The Saab 9-3, the ad continues, is “mated with a manual transmission,” “delivers 210 horsepower” and comes with an “EPA-estimated 20 mpg city/29 mpg hwy” fuel efficiency.

Nätspel med lerdjur ska locka kvinnorna

Spelproducenten Klas Nordéns tips för vad som krävs för ett succéspel:

1. Enkelhet. Tänk på vad som är roligt och lätt att förstå. Det finns ett antal grunder gemensamt i de flesta spel.

2. Djup. Spelet ska ge spelaren möjlighet att hela tiden bli bättre och uppleva känslan av att känna sig duktig, som när många rader faller bort på en gång i Tetris.

3. Design. Tänk på paketeringen med rätt grafik och ljud.

4. Tekniskt sammanhang. Hur och var spelaren ska spela? Det är skillnad mellan att göra ett spel för webben och för Iphone. Tänk på om spelaren har knappar, mus eller tryckkänslig skärm.

5. Är det roligt? Gå på magkänslan men se upp med att bli hemmablind. Lyssna på vad testspelaren säger.

Små sociala spel lockar både spelarna och utvecklarna. Svenska King.com har 340 000 svenska spelare varje vecka. Nu hoppas företaget på ännu fler med ett spel i lera.

Inspirerade av gamla tjeckiska barn­prog­ram och filmer med stop-motion-teknik skapar King.com Flashspel i lera.

Spelet ”Animal Parade” liknar Iphone-hitten ”Flightcontrol”. Men i stället för att styra flygplan till flygplatser gäller det att guida zebror, pingviner, lejon och grisar till rätt matskål.

Bakom lerfigurerna står art directorn Mia Tinglöf. Vanligtvis jobbar hon med 3 D-grafik i datorn, men att göra spelet i lera går faktiskt fortare.

– I leran slinker mänskliga misstag igenom och det är det som gör att det blir fint, säger hon.

Svårare än att göra djurfigurerna har det varit att ta fram de grafiska elementen som också görs i lera. Ett exempel är resultatet som presenteras i form av staplar i slutet av spelet.

– På vanligt sätt hade det varit hur enkelt som helst, men med lera måste vi fundera på hur man bäst bygger en stapel som ska variera i storlek varje gång, säger Klas Nordén som är spelets producent

Brorosyster – Göteborgsuppstickare inom Hårvård på nätet!

2010-06-08 06:00

Köp 4 betala för 3, produktdemonstrationer och leverans nästa dag, vårt koncept leder till trogna kunder – även på nätet!

Brorosyster.se är en stolt uppstickare på den växande marknaden av hårvårdsprodukter på nätet. Brorosyster.se är en del av Christers Hair i Kompassen som har anor så lång tillbaka som 1921. Tredje generationen av frisörer, David och Helén Johansson tröttnade på sjunkande marginaler och skev konkurrens. Istället satte de sig själva i båten för framtidens spelregler inom frisörbranschen.

-Idag är det inte långt kvar tills vi är bland de tre största på nätet i Sverige, trots att vi i familjen gör allting själva, allt i från att packa sändningarna till att uppdatera sortiment, design och skapa en modern marknadsföring, säger David Johansson.

Nyligen kom det undersökningar som visar att marknaden på nätet står för 5% av handelns omsättning. Redan idag efter bara 4 månader på nätet är omsättningen på webben större än omsättningen av hårvårdsprodukter i salongens shop i Kompassen på Fredsgatan.

-Vi har under de senaste åren sett en minskad lönsamhet inom produktförsäljningen. I vårt centrala läge på Fredsgatan är vi beroende av en hög försäljning av produkter. Redan för 7 år sen fick jag upp ett intresse för internethandeln – tyvärr gick denna idé i stöpet på grund av att vi byggde om salongen i samma veva och sedan dess har fokus legat på att få nöjda kunder i salongen – Säger Christer Johansson.

Systemutvecklare ökar sina löner snabbast

Av Karin Myrén |

Systemutvecklare och webbutvecklare finns bland dem vars löner ökat mest det senaste året, enligt Lönebarometern på csjobb.se. Även säljare och chefer har gjort ett rejält ryck uppåt.

I CS jobbs lönebarometer där 5 600 it-proffs har lagt in sina löneuppgifter är det tydligt att utvecklare har haft en positiv löneutveckling det senaste året. I gruppen systemutvecklare har lönen gått upp med tolv procent och för webbdesigner hela 16 procent.

Bland systemutvecklarna, som är den största gruppen i Lönebarometern, har löneökningarna varierat både geografiskt och mellan män och kvinnor det senaste året.

I Stockholm ökade medianlönen med 12,2 procent. I Göteborg och Malmö har däremot höjningen varit mindre, 8,1 respektive 8,9 procent.

I en jämförelse mellan könen är det männen som är vinnare bland systemutvecklarna. De har i snitt höjt sin lön med 12,7 procent medan kvinnorna bara har höjt med 5,2 procent.

Swiss Marketers Journey to Sweden to Explore Scandinavian Digital Success

The Swiss Chapter of the International Advertising Agency (IAA) recently travelled to Stockholm to get first-hand experience of how Swedish companies are applying internationally recognized design and web expertise to brands – and realizing global success.

“Swedish web know-how and increasingly innovative use of digital platforms are fast rivaling Sweden’s well-established reputation for design. Our visit seeks to get a flavor of how our Swedish counterparts are using digital tools to reach new audiences,” says Dr. Daniel Hofer, president of the Swiss Chapter of the IAA.

“Both Sweden and Switzerland have small domestic markets that have been forced to reach out and become internationally focused for many years,” explains David Gray, CEO, Open Communications.

Discussion topics included how Swedes tend to be early adopters of new technologies, partly due to the high penetration of mobile broadband and the density of computers in homes, adds Gray.

The Pirate Bay saved by political allyAargh, a filesharers life for usBy Rob CoppingerTue May 18 2010, 05:03SWEDEN'S PIRATE PARTY is now providing bandwidth for the file-sharing website The Pirate Bay after its previous Internet service provider Cyber Bunker pulled the plug due to a court injunction obtained by US movie studios.The Pirate Party's leader, Rick Falk Vinge told the INQUIRER, “providing bandwidth to a search engine and homepage is completely legal.” Describing contact with The Pirate Bay as routine, Falk Vinge explained that on Tuesday morning the two organisations agreed that the party would provide bandwidth. The controversial Bittorrent filesharing website had been down for about 20 hours.Twenty hours earlier Cyber Bunker, which has its servers in a former nuclear bunker in the Netherlands, removed Internet access after receiving the German court injunction. The plaintiffs were Disney Enterprises, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros., Twentieth Centiry Fox and Universal City Studios. Cyber Bunker intends to oppose the court injunction and file counter-claims.In a longish defiant statement in Swedish on the political party's website, Falk Vinge says, “Pirate Bay is a search page and as such it is not responsible for the results. We got tired of Hollywood's cat and mouse game with the Pirate Bay. It is time to take the bull by the horns and stand up for what we believe is a legitimate activity. The proposals to censor out the Pirate Bay from the Internet is… nothing less than political censorship, and something that any democratic-minded person must reject. We are now The Pirate Bay's ISP.”

Sustainability and Swedish Fashion: A New Website and a New Exhibit

The first time I blogged about sustainability and fashion for this site, I was writing from Sweden. That trip – just four days of reporting in Stockholm – was the first step in a journey to define sustainable style, a subject cloaked in mystery. For the last few weeks, I've continued the search for sustainability I began in Stockholm, enlisting the help of fashion designers, physicists, factory managers and farmers. The most surreal moment might have been when I found myself nervously eating gummy candy on the couch at H&M's headquarters, after I blogged about their alleged transgressions earlier this year.

In the wake of the financial crisis, policymakers have been considering ways to stem booming asset prices before they become a problem for the economy.House prices in Sweden are on the rise, partly because of the lower interest rates used by the Riksbank to stimulate the Swedish economy during the financial crisis, and some market participants fear a boom is in the offing.
