A website design company offers three different types of websites. These sites include transaction sites, retail sites, and content sites. There is a purpose for each type of site you might want to consider if you are thinking about making money on the Internet today.

One of the most common types of sites today is a content site. This type of site includes a few web pages that only have content on them and embedded links that may take a visitor to other sites around the web. The company doesn't offer a product or a service. Instead they make money by the integrated affiliate links that pay the site for the amount of visitors they can generate to make purchases. They may also make money by integrating pay per click ads only. These sites focus strictly on content that is useful and interesting for the visitors of a site. A web site design company can easily make content sites and have them up and running for you in as little as a couple of days.

Transaction sites are very popular on the web also. A site like this on the web allows a visitor to make a transaction in expectations they receive something in return. This may include a membership to the site, the ability to make postings on the web. A transaction site will require the users to click on a button for something to happen. They may have to pay a fee or just fill out forms to become a part of the site. Using a website design company to design transaction pages is the best option because they know what the visitors want to see and how to properly make the site function.

The third most common site provided by a web design company is a retail or online store. These are also known as ecommerce sites. To some people they are considered to be a virtual catalog for shopping and others they are the primary shopping source. Retail sites offer products for sale. There must be a purchasing functionality and a shipping functionality. These sites contain databases to hold the shopper's information for shipping, billing, and more. They must be secure so hackers cannot steal personal information of the shoppers and more.

There are three primary types of sites offered by a web design company. Before you contact a company you should be sure the type of site you are considering to start.

With the number of businesses calling themselves web design companies nowadays, it's a daunting task to differentiate professionals who can create an effective web site from those just filling in the blanks on a web template. Finding a web design company, like 7Strategy, that is willing to answer all the right questions will make this an easy feat to overcome.

First ask what specific services the web design company provides. Does the company simply offer to design a site, or can they offer advanced marketing solutions like search engine optimization (SEO)? Having a visually stimulating web site is only part of the solution. Finding a company, like 7Strategy, that offers innovative strategies is going to be beneficial in the long run.

Find out how much the web site design company in question is going to charge. Many companies that offer a cheap fixed price simply plug information into a template, creating a boring site unlikely to present a desired business image. 7Strategy is one example of a web design company that will tailor its services to optimize a web site at a price friendly to any budget.

A web site will only be effective when it's up and running. Inquire about the amount of time the company will need to create a quality design. Discuss a timeline and make sure they are capable of getting the job done.

Also, make the business prove itself by asking for references and a portfolio of their work. Many web design companies, like 7Strategy, offer prime examples on their own web sites.

Lastly, don't forget to think about the long-term future of the web site. Keeping it up to date will require maintenance. Is their asking price for this task within a reasonable budget? Make sure the website design company can provide updates to content and software on the site, as well as offer new options to boost the site in the future.

Companies who are willing to work hard to answer all questions and do what they can to meet every challenge presented are the companies that will strive to create optimal, fresh web designs. Choose 7Strategy.com, and don't settle for less.

SEO continues to rapidly evolve, and with it so do bad SEO ideas. Focusing on keyword meta tags, keyword stuffing, and hoarding PageRank are some of the bad SEO oldies but goodies. Here's another golden oldie: buying links from hundreds of cheap directories.

All of these ideas may have worked at one time, but that was when the search engines were newborn babies and those who didn't cheat were at a real disadvantage. Over time, the search engines have grown up and now they do a much better job of dealing with spam techniques. These sorts of bad ideas have fallen by the wayside, except among those who know little about SEO.

SEO or PPC, which is better? That was one great debate at SES London which included excellent arguments from the SEO camp, followed by a strong defense for PPC - before Fantomaster decided that there's no need to worry about the rules, as black hat is the way forward!

There's a growing divide between online marketers who enjoy organic search and those who prefer paid search. So what do your preferences say about you?

Do you enjoy hours spent analyzing search terms and bidding on long tail PPC keywords that squeeze an extra 20 percent return out of your budget? Or do you prefer to add lasting value to a Web site over the long term, gradually building authority through clever content and inching your way to the top of the natural search results?

I was reading a blog post from John Andrews about a test that Google is running in the Nordic regions, and the news was a bit shocking...at least, initially.

If you're in the region, and have a Google Webmaster Tools account, you can submit a request to be included within an SEO site clinic that Google staffers will provide. Right now, they are only looking for four participants/Web sites.

Here's what is mentioned on Google's "Inside AdWords" blog post for this region:

A site clinic is where we go through the website you submit, provide feedback on them and share tips on how they can improve. This could make them better geared toward search engines, which will give better results in such as Google search. Hopefully, the work could lead to increased visibility for their website.
