In today's web world of user expectation, every page on your web site must catch the attention of the visitor. Anybody can visit any Web page at any time, making it almost impossible for you to dictate the message. With search engines becoming the starting point for so many Web sessions, your content must also be relevant enough to be found in the first place. Without focused, timely, and relevant content, you may lose the opportunity to answer their questions and move them forward in the relationship.

Objectives

During this session, we will cover:

Core principles of an effective web page. Why is page layout and content sequence important? Find ways to focus visitors to page-level content and move through the site effectively.
Content relationships that serve your audiences. "Next Step Navigation" is the principle of driving site visitors to relevant actions and information after they accomplish their goals. On every page, you should understand the purpose, the audience, and what you want them to do next. We will walk through examples and techniques for authors to determine how to push audiences through the relationship.
Elements to improve search relevance. An ongoing statistic has been that half of all Web users are searchers, rather than navigators. And with Google being the #1 visited Web site, so many visitors find you not by your URL, but by a search results page. Also, how would you rate your site search tool? Oftentimes, it is not the technology, but rather the quality of content in relation to search terms. We will break down page elements as they relate to search algorithms, as well as cover tips and tricks for authors to make their pages more search-friendly.
