With all
the
SEO talk lately I rarely see a post that gets back to the basics of web
design
and the old but true ways of making your site
“sticky.” Almost all the talk is
of how to get more traffic and many articles talk about content and how
important content is to keeping your visitors on your site, they rarely
focus
on how to get them to come back. I mean if you are doing all that work
to get
them there in the first place to me it seems illogical not to mention
ways to
get them to come back. So I thought I would do something about it.
First part
in this series: the favicon.
I am willing
to bet you don’t have one. I hardly see any custom favicons
except the stock
ones that come with Internet Exploder or Firefox. Why do I bother with
such a
little thing? Well for starters name one professional website that
doesn’t have
its own custom favicon. Stumped huh? But I bet you never even think
about this
little thing and yet all the big sites have them. You want a
professional site
right? Then why doesn’t your
“professional” site have one of these?
I
won’t get
into how to make them because it’s pretty easy and here are
some links to do
it.
So if that
didn’t
explain it then just click on that Google search. Also it’s
really easy you just
need to make an image file that is 16x16 and then draw your little
logo. I made
mine in about 30 minutes and you can see what it looks like by going to
my Eau
Claire Real Estate website
here.
So now you
have a favicon but you need a call to action! Huh?
Part
2….
