Recently I was interviewed by Torrey McGraw about increasing online visibility for your business. Torrey hosts video interviews on his blog Grind & Thrive, where he features articles and interviews with successful entrepreneurs to help others thrive in their own businesses.
Torrey McGraw and I spent about 30 minutes discussing the ins and outs of boosting visibility on the web for your business. With Torrey’s permission, here’s the interview…
Client Site: Website ReDesign- Donna T. Darrien Foundation
Our latest design projects took a basic home made website a turned it into professional modern site packed with functionality including online photo gallery, down loadable forms, and upcoming events calendar.
The client recognized that their current site was very basic, outdated, and did not portray the professionalism of the foundation. Their new site continues with the name same bright color scheme and is now packed with more content and resources to attract and retain visitors

Excerpt from SEO obstacle course is tough on a 59 yr. old traveler
SEO the same thing. I am getting a better handle on it. Plugins from wordpress have helped, though I did have to sort through them and find what I was comfortable with.
I settled on those that help me track traffic, tell me whether my site is SEO friendly, makes it easier to follow me and, of course, everything gets submitted to google analytics!
SEO Smartlinks: links to other pages in my blog that relate to the new post I am putting up. Supposedly, the google “secret robots” like the looks of this. A good example of a website that does this a lot is Wikipedia – they interlink everything. If you do not believe that the robots like this stuff, just do a search of something. Wikipedia will be in the top 10.
SEO Pressor: This keeps track of the key word on your post. It then tells you right out of the starting gate whether your post stays on subject. For example, this post is about SEO. So, the SEO pressor will tell me how well that word’s mentioned in the post to get me a good ranking. Right now I am at 78% – the key is to get above 90%. I do not have a picture and I do not have internal links.
Problem is it costs $47 for 1 site, $97 for multiple sites. I hate paying for these things, but this one seemed worth it. I’ve been pleased with the SEO Pressor so far.
WebNinja GA plugin allows me to keep track of traffic throughout the day. I do not do that often. When I have a lot of things to do that keeps me glued to the computer, it is a nice plugin to have.
