What has changed is that Google released an update going after link spam in the last week of April, 2012, named Penguin.

TrendsNew Computer Systems and Screen Size
There always is a range of systems that visitors of your site will use. The newest systems exceed 1024 screen size and support html5, and a smaller number of old systems do not support HTML5, and have, (on average), 1024 resolution screens.

A successful online marketing effort is a complete package, which is measured by results. Getting traffic from search engines is one of the elements, and it requires a broad approach. External links alone will not do it. Neither will a nice web site and a social media presents. Effort needs to be made on all fronts to get good search engine listing that bring in traffic and results.

Google does not promote the biggest brand or the most educated source. It places sites first in the search results based on many off page and on page elements that can be changed. Local search, which has a high conversion rate for commerce, promotes businesses that have a physical address. Google picks up trends for fresh content by using news and social media signals, and promotes sites that get many shares in social networks. Google considers pages that trust worthy websites link to as pages that should be findable on their search engine.

Web design departs from graphic design because web sites have user interfaces and user interaction. Without user interaction and animation, web sites may not keep user interest and fail to use resources available that focuses the visitors attention; and do not reach the same levels of success as sites that use these types of resources.

SEO by Design specializes in search engine friendly animations using jQuery and html5 ... using Flash only when it is the best solution.

jQuery animates web content that is readable by search engines allowing the site to get credit for the materials in their rankings. Animations are created by programing that does not have the limitations of CSS hover effects.

HTML5 Canvas and SVG provide for programed graphics that exceed what is possible with Microsoft’s paint, and are fully animated. Animations online using these technologies close the gap between Hollywood cinema and Internet web pages.

Flash is still a good choice for animations that can be sent by email. Being binary in nature it provides a level of protection that prevents others from copying content.

PHP and MySQL power more than just CMS systems. San Diego SEO by Design develops and themes PHP applications of all kinds. Regardless if PHP is being used to get lead information of the internet or was only being used to provide a normalized navigation header across a website.

A Shopping Cart System is a type of content management system where products are the content being managed. PHP and MySQL are the normal host services used by CMS systems to store and retrieve data. Although selling products online does not require a shopping cart as Paypal and other credit card processors provide that functionality. There are also alternatives to MySQL for the storage and retrieval of data.

Wordpress is the most popular CMS system that can be setup based on pages, not blog posts. Drupal, which powers many big sites such as whitehouse.gov, is considered one of the most powerful systems. San Diego SEO by Design creates themes for both Wordpress and drupal - both of which provide integrated shopping cart solutions - and creates themes for lessor know CMS systems.

San Diego SEO by Design works with all opensource shopping cart products. We do not try to sell you on any package or solution, but rather suggest solutions based on your needs.
