Organic SEO Blog

Web design and search engine optimisation (SEO) will be one of the biggest investment areas for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), new research has found.

According to a survey of 800 SMEs by Register.com, 53 per cent intend to make additional investments in web design. Some 43 per cent claimed that they would increase investment in SEO while 41 per cent are set to increase email marketing investment.

Other Key findings include:

* 55% of respondents have registered more than one domain name for their business
* 41% saw more than a quarter of their total revenue from web sales
* 20% don’t know how much revenue they are getting through their site
* Approximately 70% of the respondents don’t expect their web revenue to decline despite economic conditions. (34.6% expect more revenue / 34.5% expect about the same revenue)
* When asked, “What area of technology are you most likely to invest in over the next year?” The top there answers were: website design (53%), SEO (43%), and email marketing (41%).

I’d be interested to find out how many of the SMEs investing in seo web design tweaks think a scientific approach is the way to go - it sounds a good idea to me.

My blog was down for more than a month, and I’ve lost all the comments in my blog while moving from rediff hosting to dotster. Being an seo pro, I wished to host my blog on an Indian server, and choose Rediff. It was quiet okay, but they haven’t updated their php and mysql versions and are still continuing with 3.x, which deprecated years back…. I couldn’t update to the latest wordpress, and the server goes down often.

I couldn’t tolerate this, and was looking for a few seo friendly hosting solutions in India, but it seems that there is no proper hosting solution in India, that is affordable and stable. I decided to go with dotster’s U.S hosting, as I already had an account with them. The fact that my domain is .in should help me retain my current rankings.

Hope to stay in touch with my readers often… from now on.
