Initially, we’ll try to focus on ranking well for some local results improving as we go, and as site gains strength and authority you should see us ranking for more and more competitive phrases.

Have you noticed that vote (or poll) results on your website are not as accurate as you thought they would be? Web bots are to be blamed for this trickery. They follow each link on your page and voting links are no exception. Voting scripts usually allow one vote per user and ban any further voting attempts from the same IP address. So, web bots are allowed to vote only once, just as any other visitor. Each of them will hit the lowest rating link first, vote and make the total score for item lower then it would really be unless you somehow manage to ban them from following the voting links.
To tell a web bot or a robot not to follow particular link we use “rel” attribute of the <A> tag with its value set to ”nofollow”. This is enough for Google, Yahoo and other search engines’ bots but it will not stop other, somewhat more “curious” bots, from following the link. Read the rest of this post »

If you are designer I guess all the time you ask yourself should I add underlines on links or not?
Sometimes links that are not underlined can fit better in design and that is the beginning of our dilemma.
Underline or not to underline links? The question is now.
Should we make compromise between design and usability? Can underlined links increase number of clicks and help user to easier find what he is looking for?
To track users you can use eyeTracking tools that are tracing users eye movements or you can just trace mouse click and generate heat maps. Read the rest of this post »
