How fast is your website?

Google have just launched  ‘Site Performance’, an new test feature in Webmaster Tools that allows you to test the speed and peformance of your website. This again underlines Googles intent to provide users with quicker and faster response times to the rlevant information they are searching for online. It also adds weight to Googles statement that soon the speed and response time of your website will influence your overall search engine positions. No-one knows by how much but if Google are publising the fact you should listen.

Google says:

‘This is a small step in our larger effort to make the web faster. Studies have repeatedly shown that speeding up your site leads to increased user retention and activity, higher revenue and lower costs. ‘

Areatrade are rolling out our first ‘Super Speed SEO Server’ next week and will be moving over some test websites for speed testing and analysis. We then hope to deploy our current SEO clients before Google Caffeine is released in the new year.

We are all looking forward to a SUPER FAST new year…. are you?

New Region Tags in Google

Google has introduced region tags to allow you to specify the region your business is in. Unlike .co.uk (UK), .fr (france, .es (spain) etc the prefixes .com, .info, .net for example do not have simply location identifiers making it hard for broswers to understand where this business is located.

The regios tags will be shown only for the domain prefixes that are not obvious. This will appear after the green URL at the bottom of the search results.

For example:

Website Design Services, Affordable Search Engine Optimization Website Design Services, Ecommerce Web Designers, Affordable Search Engine Optimization, Website Development in Enfield, North London.

www.areatrade.co.uk – REGION TAG CachedSimilar

Googles hope is that these region tags will help searchers more quickly identify which results are most relevant to their queries.

Google says: As a webmaster, you can control how this feature works by adjusting your Geographic Targeting settings. Log in to Webmaster Tools and choose Site configuration > Settings > Geographic Target. >From here you can associate a particular country/region with your site. These settings will determine the name that appears as a region tag. You can learn more about using the Geographic Target tool in a prior blog post and in our Help Center.

We currently show region tags More >
