Keywords and content directs traffic to your website
Posted on | September 24, 2008 | No Comments
Nowadays, users do not type in url or domain name or use their bookmarks to navigate to your websites. Users search for content. They will key in at the address toolbar either fragments of the url that they remember or the name of your website or just some keywords. They will click on the first link that appeals to them the most. Therefore by having more text content on your website, you are increasing your chances of getting visitors.
For example: you are selling apparels, by checking out https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal, you should be able to filter out a list of keywords that are most descriptive of your products.
Writing an informative column or a blog with the content tuned towards the keywords would generate more relevence hits.

CakePHP used for Malaysia Government Groupware

Cakephp is used to develop a Meeting Arrangement Tool for Malaysia Government Agencies. At the demo link, it is not accessible. I am assuming there are bugs with the login for the system. Since there is no error message to inform user of incorrect user name or password.
It is wonderful that CakePHP is being selected for a web application that government agencies are using. I can’t assess the importanceness of this web application because everything is in Malay which I can’t understand.
