Adam: And we are trying to look at a last quick
one and I would love to request John to go over this. The site
is digitalbase.eu.
John: Alright it’s a really nice looking site I really
like how it looks I can see it’s a web design company
so it has to look nice. Nice to see something from Europe.
I can see it’s a .eu domain. One thing to remember about
.eu domain is that its country specific so you could setup
geo-targeting if your site serves most of the countries in
Europe any relative brands you can setup separate sub-directory
for local and add content and set geo-targeting in webmaster
tools. Also you asked about how the language information is
collected , its done automatically based on the content of
the page you need to make sure there is only one language
on a page and might be you need to split across even which
is even better. Other small thing I noticed about the site
is that some of the images don’t have alt tags some
of them are linked in JavaScript in the portfolio. I also
noticed that you have 2 old versions of the site online as
well. Version one and version two and I think that should
kind of confusing for the search engine if they have same
content on multiple versions. So, best option is to do a 301
redirect the old versions to the new version. Other thing
I saw the title and descriptions which is great and I feel
the titles can be a little bit more compelling like digital
base project web design and development. US site designed
by digitalbase Belgium and same thing for description which
also could include something better about the company and
kind of description which displays in search results little
bit more prospective. I noticed you are running on a windows
IIS server where URLs can be added in upper and lower case
and usually its not a problem if you want to use only one
version of the URLs but I noticed a lot of section of URLs
specially the category URLs you need to take care of it and
regarding the content point it looks good. One small detail
is that you have not provided the last modified headers so
that’s something you could add to the CMS which is something
that will help the crawlers understand what date the content
was updated. Also one small thing I noticed is that you don’t
have a recognized redirect whether which version you want
to use www or non-www. You can set that in webmaster tools.
Ok that’s about it.
Adam: After a small break. Hello we are back.
Now that lets see if we can get the video working one moment.
In just a moment please no we don’t have the option of
a video at the same time of the presentation of the show, so
we are going to introduce you to Maria who will tell us how
we can do most out of our images.
This is a slide show we don’t
have the screenshots of the slide show since it went on very
fast we just have the audio presentation which is converted
to text below. There are references to the images in slide
show so please don’t complain to us about the missing
slides which are referred here.
Hi everyone thank you adam, Today I want to present you how
you can make the most out of images on your site. Before proceeding
let me check the functionality if it works sorry to interrupt
everyone. There are 4 things we may want to cover today. First
of all lets see where images are shown in first of all this
will give a scenario, next we will go on to learn how we understand
the images, what we understand about the quality of the image,
what we understand about the topic of the images, and well
we can also give feedback on how to make your site Google
friendly for images. So let’s start where we can find
images first of all. First let’s see Google search,
I want to see images of rain barrel irrigation. So I go to
Google search and type rain barrel irrigation photos you can
see there are images which show in normal web search as well
which is on in image search. So I play as a webmaster its
not that you need to have your site always in search results
you have to go for images and videos and things like that.
You can have a real quick look at this.
So you are excited if your image features in one of these
photos in regular search results or you have additionally
images search results so you click on image search results
you go to the next screen here is all the images indexed for
the search rain barrel irrigation photos. For now I click
www. Ne-design.net which was actually featured on main search
results it has more images indexed from that website. Additionally
its not just image search that is in here we also have advanced
features when you go to the right and click on advanced image
search you will come out to a screen it will give you more
ways to search for images like related to all the words, exact
phrase etc. Then we have content types which I will cover
shortly. And of course safesearch is no filtering or moderate
filtering or strict filtering.
I can see when you search in reference to content types
it will highlight more of your images. If you select content
types in advanced search you can classify any content, news
content or faces. I don’t think you used this before
and if you actually search for faces and use query type such
as rain barrels you won’t see the pictures of rain barrels
you will actually see faces of pictures of people.
