Leading Traffic Driving Progress In Popular Government Affairs Forum Website Operations

By Sally Mop


Have you ever been on a government information site that was not operated well? You can avoid that for your website. Simply follow these tips and your site operations will be a success.

There's always more than one thing that keeps a user happy with your site and returning for more. Gather feedback on the aspects of your site they like most, and the things they like the least. Strive to constantly improve based on the feedback you're given. You want your users to have a good experience in every component of your site, so if they say the colors are ugly, or the ads are too big, listen and change!

Ad swaps can help both you and your partner increase traffic by offering your unused ad space to promote their site for free while they return the favor. Voila, free advertising! The ads that you place can be anything from a banner spot to a link to your newsletter.

Assigning text tags to each and every image that you post on your site ensures that search engines will be able to find and correctly represent them on internet searches. It's a very small and simple way to greatly improve your search engine rankings, especially if you use a lot of pictures.

If you have some content which would probably be taken print of by customers, then make the pages print-friendly for them. Having headers and sidebar graphics on their printed page would disappoint anyone. The option of having your pages printable will be appreciated by your visitors.

Flash government information sites often look quite impressive, but the cons usually outweigh the pros of relying on Flash. If you spend a ton of time on a fancy Flash intro that creates long loading times, it may end up being a waste because many visitors won't want to wait for it to load.

The content of your site is the most important aspect of your page, so never lose sight of that! Keep your content intriguing, making your reader want to see more. At the end of each of your stories, it's a good idea to include links to other articles with similar content to keep your readers engaged and ensuring they get the information they came for.

Spending a lot of time and money to make your site's pages beautiful may be a waste if few visitors stick around to admire them because of slow loads. Keeping your pages fairly short and breaking up lengthy content over a couple pages can shorten load times while improving the user experience.

There are several different types of web browsers out there. It is important that your government information site is able to run properly on multiple types of browsers. When you choose a website designer speak with them about avoiding or focusing on a few browsers and make sure that they include all browsers. Compatibility with multiple browsers send a message to your visitors and target audience that you care about their diversity.
