We're considering using an SEO strategy whereby a company creates several hundred content pages with relevant keywords (to our site) that link back to our site, in order to increase our search engine rankings. I just wrote a piece about this on my Blog, but have been wondering how you esteemed folks feel about the subject: http://www.bryanminihan.com/minihands/2007/12/that-weird-empty-feeling-from- bulk.html
It's not specifically design related, but such pages definitely impact one's interaction with the web as a whole, and illustrate perfectly how a clean, well-designed site can still be completely worthless if it doesn't contain valuable content. - Bryan http://www.bryanminihan.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Scheid Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 8:27 PM To: IxD Subject: Re: [IxDA Discuss] Placement of credit card logos On 4/12/07 3:15 AM, "Ari Feldman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > most, not all ecommerce sites offer credit card payment options in a drop > down menu with Visa usually defaulted as its the most popular card in the > US. > > because it's defaulted, some users may not click on the menu to reveal other > choices like AMEX or Discover, etc. blech, drop downs always hide options :-( One site I recently visited did something smart - although they had the card type as a drop down, they did display next to that the credit card logos/icons ... and they *also* put a smidgen of javascript on those images such that clicking (say) the Visa logo would select Visa in the drop down. People do click images. Go with the flow. by the way - in an early study into what makes websites more trustable, it was found that prominent display of credit card logos had an effect (more so than the various TRUSTe style badges). Don't know if that is still the case though .. time to repeat the research. e. ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
