A new version of Google Analytics is here…
Published November 19th, 2011 by Roslyn Garavaglia Comments Off

The new version of Google Analytics is probably already activated in your account. Have you seen it yet? If you still see the old dashboard you need to cast your eyes to the top of the page and click on “New Version”. 

Google has added real-time reports to monitor visitors actively looking at your site. Real time reporting shows you what’s happening on your site – right now!

Real time analytics

The reports are updated continuously and each pageview is reported seconds after it occurs on your site. You’ll find Real-Time reports in the ‘Home’ tab.

Another feature which should be of interest to you is Mobile Reporting. As more and more visitors use mobile devices to browse the web, the Mobile reports in the new version of Google Analytics will help you understand how mobile visitors are interacting with your site. You can even see which mobile devices your visitors use and optimise for those devices.

According to Google, traffic from mobile devices and smart phones like iPhone, iPad and Android is exploding. And 50% of the searches from these devices is for local goods and services like yours.

Bonzawebsites will be offering Bonza Mobile Web Design in a couple of weeks and we urge you to take a look at your current website on mobile devices now to see how it renders.  Do you need a Mobile Website?

Speak to you soon,

The Best Title Tags
Published November 7th, 2011 by Roslyn Garavaglia Comments Off

The information below will help you create the best title tags, title tags Google will like.

      • Keep the length of your title tags 70 characters or less. Shorter the better.
      • Make sure that the title tag is relevant to the body text.
      • Use your keyword at the beginning of the tag.
      • Remove duplicate title tags across the website.
      • Create unique title tag for each web page
      • Use brand names in the middle of the title tags so that it doesn’t get truncated by Google easily.
      • Make sure that a website doesn’t have web pages with missing title tags. Google can create its own title where the title tag is missing.

This video sums it up better than I can, so take heed and you’ll end up creating the best Title tags that Google will love.

Wistia

Here is what Google says about changing your title tags:

“Google’s creation of sites’ titles and descriptions (or “snippets”) is completely automated and takes into account both the content of a page as well as references to it that appear on the web………..Make sure that each page on your site has a useful and descriptive page title (contained within the title tags. If a title tag is missing, or if the same title tag is used for many different pages, Google may use other text we find on the page. “

All the above information was sourced from http://seohimanshu.com/ and the video comes from SEOMOZ.

++ A Lazy Bugger’s Blog Post ++
Published September 20th, 2011 by Roslyn Garavaglia 2 Comments »

What are the elements of a good Blog? 

I spend time thinking about Headlines to catch your attention…… I toss in some “How to” articles and Top 5 lists, add some Why’s, and explain Benefits. I make personal admissions, and use a conversational style to engage you. My paragraphs are mostly short with easy sentences using words that don’t require a dictionary.  I write sub-headings and use bullet points so you can see at a glance if it’s worthwhile reading further.

All the bolded words above are Elements of a good Blog.

Is there something I missed?

Where to Get Inspiration for Blog Posts
Published August 24th, 2011 by Roslyn Garavaglia Comments Off

I usually write a post on the Bonza Blog every Saturday. There’s never an issue wondering what to write about because the internet is so dynamic and ever shifting. There’s always something to talk about or share.  Today, I would like to share a link to Sean D’Souza’s blog where he talks about Why Time Management Is Less Powerful Than Efficiency Management.

I took a week long break in June and haven’t blogged since! I lost the rythmn and the energy to work or attend to the Bonza Blog. Read the rest of this entry »

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION

What’s a bad bounce rate in the analytics report?
Published June 4th, 2011 by Roslyn Garavaglia 2 Comments »

Here’s a copy of my quick response to an email I received this morning asking “What’s a bad bounce rate?”Bounce Rate in Analytics

Bounce rate is the percentage of single-page visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page i.e. a visitor, as soon as they arrive at your website, immediately leaves without visiting any other pages within your website.

Anything over 50% is not good. 30% to 40% is not bad but definitely not ideal. Ideally bounce rates should be about 20% - 30%.

The most common reasons for high bounce rate is content which might not be unique and fresh, and second, the page structure is confusing.
