As Digg explains things, it is “a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web.”

Everything on Digg, from news to videos to images — is submitted by the digg community. Once something is submitted, other people see it and Digg what they like best. If your submission receives enough Diggs, it is promoted to the front page for millions of visitors to see.

SEO should be implemented during the conception of your website design strategy.

If you’re working with Slinky, we will SEO-design your site with every consideration for the search engine optimisation process from the beginning.

This saves you money having to correct those issues that might be creating website ranking problems within the search engines. We will give you or your web graphics designer clear guidelines to use that will keep the search engines and your customers happy.

Slinky’s site-based optimisation services are available if you already have a website, but are not having any success being found. We analyse your site to identify bad architecture in its structure and unhelpful content.

We can make recommendations that will make your site both user- and search engine-friendly.

In addition, during the search optimisation process we will make specific changes designed to improve your site’s functionality, appearance, and overall quality for search engines and your customers.

To make it easy for the customers, there needs to be an online order processing system. It mostly involves a shopping cart to select and store orders.

Slinky Digital Agency advise that you will need a payment option like PayPal. This involves getting a PayPal ‘business account‘ – which is quick and easy. PayPal will need to verify you as a legitimate person by several levels of checks ie: bank account, credit card etc

If you choose to accept credit cards via your own processing account, you will need a bank internet merchant account – which can be a tiresome process and more expensive to set up and operate. If you are a serious business – it is the only option in my opinion.

For this option you will need to sign up with a secure gateway provider, which sits in between your website and the bank website. Providers such as Securepay or Camtech in Australia are a good option. Others are Verisign (owned by PayPal) – but they are a more expensive option.

There has to be enough security to allow payments online. The credibility of the merchant is a very important factor to be checked. Your order form should be secured which may be done using SSL encryption technologies. Additionally, you may also offer a money back guarantee to people to build up confidence.

Remember that it is also useful to display a price list of your products. It makes it easier for the visitor to make a decision to buy from your site.

Unless you provide a simple system for the potential customers to buy from you, you cannot keep him happy. It is important to make a system that would not frustrate your potential customer.
