Changing the URL of your Facebook Page

When you start a Facebook page you are assigned a really long number, along with your page name as your URL. This becomes an issue when you are speaking to someone and want to tell them your Facebook URL, or if you want to put it on paperwork that you send to your customers. Read More »

My top ten Twitter tips (for businesses)

DO

  1. Fill out your bio and add a photo. Personally, I won’t follow you if you don’t have both of these. A location can be pretty key too, as well as changing your background image so it’s not just the generic one.
  2. Learn the lingo. Twitter is an investment of time, there’s no denying it, so don’t just get it for the sake of it. Look into it first – learn about hashtags and @ tweets, then when you actually sign up, you won’t end up with an empty profile.
  3. Interact. No one likes to see a profile that’s all “me me me” – talk to people, reply to questions and comments others make. Social media is all about creating a community.
  4. Share. People love it when you share things that are of interest – even more when it’s not your product or business! Shake up your posts a little by mixing in shares from other people’s Twitter feeds, and blogs and websites and such.
  5. Post regularly. Here at WebOK we recommend that you post on Twitter at least once a day – preferably more than that! We know it’s difficult, and it will take you a while (sometimes a very long while) to get into the swing of it, but the whole point of Twitter is to be social. Posting regularly doesn’t mean constantly posting new content. It can mean retweeting others posts, linking to a news article or website you’ve found, posting a photo, replying to other people’s tweets…all sorts – just get stuck in!

Dashes vs Underscores

A post for those who manually create their own web pages today!

As I was editing a customers website today, I was creating a number of new pages, and noticed that the old pages (inherited from a previous web developer) were all created with underscores (www.nameofsite.co.uk/this_is_the_page_name.php) however the ones I had created I had naturally done with dashes (www.nameofsite.co.uk/this-is-the-page-name.php) which led me to wonder if the type of separator you use will effect SEO in anyway.
