Yes, designing logos is an art. Logo is considered as a trademark graphical symbol, icon or ideogram that serves the purpose of the easy recognition and credibility of a brand or a company. From its simple definition, we can understand that it requires attention since that small logo sign is going to be the representative of the company.

There are three most important things to a logo:

1. Shape: Believe it or not, this is the first thing that a viewer notices in a logo is shape. So, it is always recommended that you start your logo designing with figuring out the shape at first.
2. Color: Check out the color of the logos of the top companies in your niche area and then decide the combo that you are going to use.
3. Text: Last but not the least, when allured by the shape and color of your logo, they are going to check out what you have written in them. So a catchy phrase that appeals to the imagination of the viewers as well as that answers their query at the same time is going to stand out.

One of the places where you would need the service of a logo/artwork is landing pages. Landing Pages are greatly use for PPC campaigns, are supposed to be very short and catchy. Along with the ad text in your PPC campaign that you use, your logo/artwork should add to the value of your landing page as well. Always remember, the CTR and conversion rate depend on the attractiveness of your landing pages.

Here are Top five things to pay attention to for onpage SEO:

1. URL. Especially the domain name. That’s 25% of the battle right there. Maybe 50%. On dynamic sites, struggle to get SEF titles.
2. Page title. Really really important. Don’t make your homepage page title be: “Welcome to obscurity”
3. Keyword consistency. A site called foobar.com about foobar with a home page called foobar (rather than Welcome), will generally rate number one for foobar.
4. Content. Use a lot of text. Unlike people, spiders like a lot of text. Be wordy. Flash and pictures on the page are ok but the page should be full of text. Best yet, get the code off the page into a css.
5. Use your keywords in the content. Several times near the top and hopefully, within a few H1 and H2 tags, alt tags, and title tags.

With additional offpage SEO technique, you will conquer SERP for your targeted keywords.

This proof of traffic from one of my blog was captured to make a good explanation how good Social Bookmarking sites to increase traffic as long as you use it in a smart way.

I never use social bookmarking strategy to increase traffic until two days ago. A friend of mine tell me that he can make hundred dollars a month from Google Adsense only using social bookmarking sites for every single of his post.

So, I was interested to make little research about how good Social Bookmarking sites are. Since July 1st, I always do Social Bookmarking for every post I made. And the picture shows that my visitors are increasing day by day. I believe this is the effect of my strategy because I didn’t use another technique.

Few points you should taking care of when you social bookmarking your site. Firstly, make sure the social bookmarking sites give you dofollow backlink since it will enhance your backlink in google eyes.

Secondly, use great title when you save the url on Social Bookmarking sites. Thirdly, put your submission in suitable category. Place your business news in business category, save your tech news in technology category etc. It will attract more visitors to visit your blog.

The last, stay update. Please suit your post with something hot in the world. For example, how Michael Jackson’s death can attract you a lot of visitor if you make a post soon after his death. Another example is when you post a sport stories when Summer Olympic take place. I believe you’ll be shocked by how much traffic you in one moment. Repeat the technique each time you post an article and you’ll have steady traffic for your blog.
