			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does simply hearing the term SEO Web Design make your eyes glaze over in confusion?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Search Engine Optimization industry was born from the exploding commercial and social Internet development movement of the early ‘90s.&#160; Just ten or so years ago, at the time of the World Wide Web boom, businesses were only beginning to respond to the increasing need for developing a marketable web presence &#8211; what is now the realm of the <a href="http://www.effectwebmedia.com/seo_search_engine_optimization.php">search engine optimization companies</a>. Nobody seemed to talk much about what made for the most effective web sites &#8211; outside of easy page navigation, cool design, and fast-loading pages. That’s because few seemed to fully comprehend the depth and grandiosity of the potential. And most new web development companies were more than busy enough just building web sites without needing to care much if those sites were actually performing for their clients.</p>
<p> <span id="more-261"></span>
<p>Let’s review a brief Internet history.&#160; As the Internet boom rippled out globally, hundreds of thousands of companies were literally online within weeks. Or maybe millions within months. Let’s just say it happened so quickly, nobody could keep track! (I’d be more than willing to revise this statement if anybody out there has a reputable source for precise data on the matter!)&#160; Anyway, it’s safe to say that today, there are millions upon millions of web sites out there.&#160; And today, if your business doesn’t yet have an website, you already know that you can barely exist outside the range of your own home community.   </p>
<p><strong>Impressive Industry Development</strong>    </p>
<p>Back in 1994, the United States had less than a thousand web design companies. Now, there are more than 40,000, and the <a href="http://www.page1consultants.com/organic-search-engine-optimization.html">organic SEO consultant</a> industry is widely expected to grow another whopping 20 per cent over the next two years.&#160; This is encouraging news, despite recent speculation among governments, small and big businesses alike, all bracing for a discouraging recession.&#160; Fuelling the tremendous growth in the industry, in large part, is the relatively fast development of smaller web design companies, and the continued automation of medium and large business selling virtually any sort of service imaginable to the four corners of the Earth.&#160; Yet another factor in the success in the industry is the steady drop in the cost of hosting fees.</p>
<p>The past decade has seen an amazing transformation in commerce, with the Internet driving e-commerce, led increasingly by more and more sophisticated web design. With the growth in e-commerce comes a natural wonder about how to create web sites that can track visitor activity and report on marketing results in much the same way as other forms of marketing. In addition, web site owners also want to improve numbers of random searchers easily targeting their web site.</p>
<p>When a potential visitor goes to Google to find, let’s say, a big wrench, Bob’s Hardware wants to be the first listing that comes up on the search engine results.&#160; This is where a <a href="http://www.page1consultants.com">SEO expert</a> comes into play.&#160; SEO is the art of establishing, for any given website, a higher ranking in the search engine results than their competition.</p>
<p>A web consulting firm can help small, medium, and big businesses improve their search engine rankings, traffic, sales, and overall profit.&#160; These firms can develop professionally customized SEO programs that guarantee results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.contentcentral.net"><img title="Freelance copywriters" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="149" alt="Freelance copywriters" src="http://www.blogfeast.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/freelancecopywriters.jpg" width="220" border="0" /></a> For <a href="http://www.contentcentral.net">freelance copywriters</a>, one of the greatest challenges is coming up with a compulsive headline that will grab the readers’ attention. A lot of the positive responses a write-up will receive rest on the headline. The headline is the title of the article and is the very first line on which the reader&#8217;s eyes will fall when reading a write-up. A bland, unexciting headline will fail to stir the interest of the reader even if the body of the article is well-written and informative.&#160; Never waste a good article by making sure you use these tips for effective headline development: </p>
<p> <span id="more-97"></span>
<p><strong>Outline your article</strong>     <br />The headline and the article body feed off each other. One must reflect, promote and support the other in order to be effective. As such, it&#8217;s important that you build a relationship at the very beginning so your readers won&#8217;t be confused at the progression. </p>
<p>To make sure you don&#8217;t get lost, write a short outline of the article. This can be in the form of notes to help guide you on the topics you will be covering for the article and the succession of these topics. That way, you will have a reference on how the article will appear, something you can use for effective headline development. </p>
<p><strong>Decide on the tone you will use</strong> </p>
<p>The tone of your article should be reflected by your headline. An optimistic, happy headline may not work with an article that is written in a serious, businesslike tone. Conversely, a formal headline may seem ill-conceived when used with an upbeat article. </p>
<p><strong>Develop your headline based on the type of article you will be using</strong> </p>
<p>Ever read headlines developed by researchers for a certain scientific or medical study?&#160; They&#8217;re not exactly the kind of headlines you&#8217;ll find in a write-up for topics such as sports, personal care or relationships. These headlines tend to be formal and technical and there are no colloquial or slang terms used with them. </p>
<p>When developing headlines for your article, make sure it&#8217;s a good match to the type of write-up you will be doing. If it&#8217;s more technical, consider using a more structured headline. If it&#8217;s more upbeat, then do the same with your title. </p>
<p><strong>Offer an overview</strong>     <br />Your article has to compete with others in the market. This is especially true if you will be writing for the Web, where for a single topic alone, readers will find thousands of sources, all of them original. </p>
<p>For effective headline development, make sure to write a title that offers your readers a good idea of what the article contains – and then interest them enough so they read the rest of the article. </p>
<p><strong>Headline too long? Consider a sub-headline</strong> </p>
<p>Sometimes in order to grab the attention of your readers, you will be stuck with a headline that&#8217;s too long to be effective. If this happens, consider cutting the headline into two: one as the main headline and the other as the sub-headline. Readers can easily focus on these headlines and find the most interesting, salient points of the article.&#160; </p>
<p>Or, you could cut a long headline, use a provocative or interesting word or phrase followed by a colon and then write the rest of the headline. Some examples are below: </p>
<p>Game Hacks: How to Be a Master of Every Video Game You Play </p>
<p>Earth Angel: One Woman&#8217;s Journey to Becoming a Celebrated Environmentalist </p>
<p>Birds of a Feather: How Your Friends Affect Your Luck in Life </p>
<p><strong>Use intrigue</strong> </p>
<p>Notice how successful many of the marketing campaigns and promotions have been in the past? It&#8217;s because the copywriter was able to stir up intrigue and grab attention by using their headlines well. </p>
<p>An excellent method of headline development is using teasers that create intrigue. Words such as &#8217;secret to&#8217;, &#8216;little known ways&#8217; &#8216;lazy man&#8217;s guide to&#8217;, &#8216;beginner&#8217;s guide to&#8217;, &#8216;you don&#8217;t have to be ___ to be ___&#8217; and &#8216;methods you never knew existed&#8217; can be quite effective for making the readers wonder and want to read more.</p>
