Best Practices: 3 Key Factors Search Engines Look For
When it comes to proactive web maintenance, the principal goal is to keep your website running at optimal levels at all times. That means search engine visibility is one of the most integral parts of your website’s performance. To reach a wider and more receptive audience, keep these 3 factors in mind as you add content to your website. If adding new content causes you headaches, contact PTC Computer Solutions to allow us to maintain your content for you.
Think about these 3 factors as you update your website with fresh content.
- Relevance
The goal of your website is to attract the target market interested in your business. Providing helpful content that applies to your customers’ wants, needs, and struggles signals to search engines that your website provides relevant content for your unique audience. - Deep crawl
Provide links throughout your content to allow your audience to find more helpful information. Make routine checkups to ensure these links are working. In doing so, your audience will go deeper into your website. In turn, Google and other search engines will reward you with higher rankings. - Time spent on page
If you search the term “Amazon,” you will receive pages and pages of results for the online retailer. You have to continue your page search to find any content on the Amazon as an ecosystem. These results spawn from the amount of time visitors spend on the retail pages. If you provide content that keeps the audience engaged for longer periods, Google will raise your website to more visible levels.
Repair Your 404 Error Pages with 1 Simple Fix
When your audience receives a 404 error message on your website, it costs you money. These glitches keep prospects from becoming loyal customers. Without proactive web maintenance, it’s difficult to spot these problems before they make a negative impact. One way to keep your audience engaged even when they hit an error page is to create a custom 404 page that shows you’re aware of the problem.
Don’t have a custom made 404 page? Let PTC Computer Solutions set this up for you right now. Contact us via email or call our support team.
Other than that step, figure out whether or not the error page stems from the server or from your hosting platform. Our team is ready to figure out what causes these problems, and can make sure it doesn’t happen with a proactive web maintenance service. Contact PTC Computer Solutions to set up your web maintenance needs.
Stop Cross-Site Script Attacks. Stop Website Decay.
What are cross-site script attacks?
They are vulnerabilities found in web applications such as ecommerce software and even Gmail. Depending on the data available to hackers, cross-site script attacks open up a serious security risk. (Think of recent breeches at Target and on iCloud.) Cross-site scripting contributes nearly 84% of all security vulnerabilities, and their effects range from site delisting, web code compromising, browser alert triggers, and more. Most attacks happen via contact forms (NOTE: in our experience, this is the number one spot where these attacks begin), submission forms, payment gateways, and ecommerce or catalog systems.
The best way to combat cross-site script attacks, and protect your customers and business, is to have a partner in web maintenance. To mitigate the risk of contact form vulnerabilities, PTC Computer Solutions will install form processing software built especially to prevent such attacks. Since you’ve enlisted PTC Computer Solutions, you can rest assured knowing we’ll protect your website from these issues. If you have questions or concerns about cross-site script attacks, give us a call or email our team at info@ptccomputersolutions.com.
