The Business Community Network (BCN) has been established as a means to connect the business community in Western Canada but is not limited geographically - any company is welcome. We believe there's a need for businesses to communicate with each other on a company basis rather than individuals basis (such as Linked In or Facebook). As such the structure of this community is set up like this: business / industry groups >> companies >> individuals. In addition, companies can link Facebook, Twitter accounts and Blog Feeds to their BCN accounts. Membership is free but advertising will be on a paid basis - rates will be published soon. We welcome comments and suggestions so please let us know what you think.

Why get traffic from Google?
Search is usually the first action on internet for most users (including your potential clients) and Google is getting most of these searches, Bing slowly catching up.
How can you benefit from this traffic?
There are mainly two ways to get traffic from Google, one is from doing paid ads via Google Adwords and the other one is to appear in the search results when someone enters a specific keyword.
Google Adwords may help your site at the on-set of your business, but if not handled properly, this could prove to be costly and even deadly for your budget.
As opposed to Adwords, organic traffic (coming from search results) is free but it is a continuous process that bears its fruits on the longer term.
Google looks at certain factors to determine which websites to display for a given keyword. The practice of influencing Google to rank higher for a specific keyword is called Search Engine Optimization or SEO.
So where to start with SEO?
Search Engine Optimization is divided into two parts: on-page optimization and off-page optimization.
On-page Optimization
Google bots (a.k.a. Google search engine spiders) will go through the entire code of your website to pull out the essential parts. If your website in not search engine friendly, then Google will not understand what your content is about and won't associate it with the correct keywords.
Let's say that you want to rank in Google for the keyword "sydney accountant".
When you open your website in an internet browser, the title of the window should contain this keyword. Also, the main title of your page should contain the keyword so that it is clear for Google and your visitor what the website is about.
Google also looks at the alternative text associated with the images of your website, and the loading time of your pages.
Some website management systems like WordPress or Drupal make it fairly easy to do on-page SEO.
Off-page Optimization
To know if a page contains good content, Google looks at the number of other websites that link to that specific websites and the quality of these websites. If you get linked by spammy websites only, it will consider your website spammy but if reputable websites link to your article, then Google will think that you are worth showing in the search results.
Off-page optimization consists mainly of link building.
Below are some ideas on where to get links for your site:
SEO is time consuming. Not everyone has the time to write dozens of articles and submit them to the right websites or go monitor all the relevant forums or blogs. This is why SEO is a good candidate for outsourcing.

Most business people seem to think that a website essentially acts like a 24/7 sales person … well, they are right and like sales staff, some are better at it than others (and many are quite abysmal). It does that and performs a few other services that many people probably aren't aware of.
It starts with the idea that a graphically well designed site should look very pleasing and provide its company with a refined, sophisticated and admired image.
So, if the site looks crappy, it makes the company look crappy.
Next, the site should be a source of information about the products and / or services the company offers. That may seem self explanatory but have a look at many sites and you'll not find the specific technical data you're looking for. So, put that info out there on a public or private (limited to certain customers) basis and people will come looking for it.
That's called traffic and traffic on your site means sales in the door.
Then there are sales. Sure you want that site to magically grab visitors and turn them into customers … just like that. The phone will ring off the hook – lovely thought that. Unfortunately it's not the reality for many companies. Instead think of the website more like a sales assistant who's constantly on standby. It works like that when your sales staff is on the phone with a (potential) customer who will be asking questions about specific products or services. It's always quite impressive when your sale rep can say: "please go to our websitewww.canadaweb.net and in the products section you will find complete specs, write-up and photos of the product and also in downloadable Pdf format". And you can discuss it while on the phone and your customer is reading info and looking at photos.
Now that's what closes sales !
So when building websites one the important things is to have photos, images, diagrams, etc. The problem so often is with the photos as supplied by clients. In this day and age everybody thinks themselves to be expert photographers. How can you fail with all the fancy digital, automatic everything cameras. Aim in the general direction, shoot and presto we have a perfect web photo. If only it was that easy.
The problem with lots of folks is that they don't know the first thing about good photography and what impact it will have on their website. The photos we get from clients are often woefully bad. I mean, why would someone spend thousands on a classy new website only to load it up with horribly inadequate photography ? Well, we see it all the time.
This article is not meant to provide lessons on the finer points of web photography but I would like to urge people in charge of the website for their company to very seriously consider hiring a professional to provide high quality web photography / videography for their high quality website. Remember, on the web all visitors know about a company is what they see on their website … and first impressions are lasting ones.
So as a web developer, here's one of my (admittedly many) pet peeves … and it's 2-fold. First, why are they called IT – Information Technologies – at all ? Really, if you think about, Computer Hardware & SoftwareSupport is far more accurate. So we should refer to them as CHSS guys (or girls). Website designers and creators would more accurately referred to as IT people – we really do deal in Information Technologies.
And here is the second part of it. Quite regularly, when we meet with clients for a web project, they insist on involving the "IT guy". Even worse, some companies (they shall remain nameless but know who they are) actually use their IT staff to build and maintain websites. I mean, that's like getting the structural engineer to do interior design. He may be a very good engineer but what does he know about interior design ? Answer: essentially nothing. And so the result is quite predictable: poor.
For those who would take issue with my reasoning, image this: the company needs to upgrade / install a new server and calls in the IT guy. To the big surprise of the IT guy the boss has also brought in the web designers so they can vet everything the IT team plans to do. Make any sense ? No ? Exactly, and that's my point.
Ok, so there's something wrong with the ROI (Return on Investment) of your website…It just doesn't seem to do much for the company. But how much did you spend on it ? When was the last time it was updated or re-designed? Who built it: the receptionist, the office manager, the IT guy, your son, your daughter?
Well it's really quite simple: you have to spend money to make money (but not necessarily huge sums) and you have to spend it where it counts. This means you should hire a professional company like CanadaWeb Inc. to set you up with a professional internet presence. Notice that I called it an internet presence and not a website because there's so much more to it than just the website.

A content management system is a web software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to.
