CHARLIE KISSES LEAVE A MARK :: opening bio

o Is your website getting the attention you deserve? Are you receiving potential clients through your website, via a specific search? Do you even know if your website can be found by a search engine?

o Charlie Design provides consultancy and website management that ensures your

website is noticed, easy to use and people enjoy returning your attention.

o Charlie Design has an information management background and understands AGLS standards to ensure your website is properly meta-tagged for success.

o Charlie kisses are provided to help you understand the web. Charlie’s motto is to

Keep Information Strategies Simple Easy Straightforward

CHARLIE META LAWYER :: intro to report about law firm website meta tag detail

o The enclosed report analyses 15 law firms. In particular their website meta-tag detail. The law firms are located in South Australia or have affiliations here (according to their website). They vary in corporate size.

o The report is based on analysis by Charlie typing the URL into a browser and opening

the first index page (typically home page) using the Mozilla Firefox browser version 1.0. The information found, as at the test date, is included in the report listed by law firm.

o The process is what most search engine “crawlers”, “trawlers” or “spiders” will find

and analyse themselves when they first reach a website. This is not the only process involved in the positioning of a website within a search engine index however it is the most common.

o This process can also be used by other websites seeking your information (via an

electronic feed eg XML etc) for inclusion or linking.

o This report includes information for the law firms sampled to improve existing meta-tags where appropriate, with hints how to improve search engine positioning. The information is provided for guidance only.

o This report includes a standard or minimum set of AGLS meta-tags that may be used

by your law firm. Free.

Explanation of AGLS standards with extract taken from: AGLS Metadata Element Set Part 1: Reference Description Version 1.3 National Archives of Australia The AGLS Metadata Element Set provides a set of metadata elements designed to improve the visibility, accessibility and interoperability of online information and services.

The AGLS metadata set is intended for use by any organisation or individual creating or managing information sources or services that are locatable via the Internet. In particular, it is intended for information about resources and services on the World Wide Web. For the purposes of AGLS metadata, a resource will typically be an online information or service resource, but may be applied more broadly to people and organisations, and information or services that are not available online.

The AGLS 19-element set is described below with:

a unique, machine-understandable, single-word element name intended for use in the computer programming rules (syntactic use) which is intended to make the specification of elements simpler for encoding schemes;

a label, which is intended to convey a common understanding of the element;

a definition (the semantics or meaning of the element);

an indication of whether the element must be used to comply with the AGLS standard (obligation); and

a comment which further expands or refines the meaning of the element and how it may be used, and may include examples.

Further information about the AGLS metadata standard is available at: http://www.naa.gov.au/recordkeeping/gov_online/agls/summary.html

Suggested meta tags for law firms: Meta tag name Example Charlie suggests AGLS Mandatory Creator <meta name=”creator”

content=” The person responsible for the law firm website. This is generally the law firm name, in full.

Title <title> </title> The law firm name, a brief statement and firm location. Only use up to 80 characters. This is generally considered the most important element of a website. Many search engine trawlers only use this information from your law firm website to complete their indexing.

Date <meta name=”date” content=”

Typically the date the website was created.

Subject (or function) <meta name=”subject” content=”

The subject is a keyword, key phrase or classification that describes the resource content. eg “Law Firm, Lawyers” or “Legal Services”, etc

Identifier <meta name=”identifier” content=”

Typically your website URL or domain name. Formal identification systems include the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) (including the Uniform Resource Locator (URL)), the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and the International Standard Book Number (ISBN).

Additional descriptive elements Description <meta name=”description”

content=” Use your corporate motto or business statement and ensure it reads between 150 and 250 characters in length.

Key words <meta name=”keywords” content=”

Some search engines rank a website higher if it has greater use of key words. Use up to 100 words to receive good results. To make your website positioning more successful than others, approach from your potential client’s perspective. What types of questions would they ask of a search engine that would make them end up at your website? Keyword Spellings Not all users of the web spell words correctly. Try adding common or known mistakes to your keywords as a bonus. If you are nervous about the impression this creates for your law firm, add them as a string to make it obvious this is what you have done eg practicing, practising, précising Provide abbreviations or acronyms where appropriate and if generally used.

Page 5: Charlie Meta Lawyer

[ Charlie Design ] 4 22

Keyword Frequency The number of times keywords occur within a page's text. Search engines want to see more than one repetition of a keyword in your text to make sure it's not an isolated case. The recommended repetition is 3-7 times. More than this is known as SPAMMING. Search engines do not index these websites. Keyword Proximity (within content) Put your keywords together and keep sentences clear. In the following example the second sentence would attract a better result: Smith Law has been practising all areas of law for over 50 years. Smith Law has been practising law for over 50 years. Keyword KISSES Consider your law firm identities. When we hear a name via word of mouth we generally research the person prior to contact (good use of internet). Providing law firm identities within your keywords is a way to help ensure your law firm website is the potential client’s first port of call. Use alternate methods to gain results eg Alt Tags on images or navigation buttons

Author <meta name=”author” content=”

As for Creator, however in this instance, the person responsible for the law firm website content.

Copyright <meta name=”copyright” content=”

Your law firm name, in full. The copyright date.

Publisher <meta name=”publisher” content=”

This field is often the name of the organisation that owns or controls or publishes the resource. It is not recommended that this element be used for the name of the entity which merely acts as the host for a website.

How search engines work: Using a search engine is like having your friendly librarian on your side. The more detailed the information that you provide within your website for the search engine indexing, the better your results. Search engines are there for users of the web; your potential clients. Search engines have typically been bombarded with poorly indexed websites over the years and many times potential clients leave their search in frustration having received little or no useful results. A quick search for “law firms in adelaide”, using Google, produced 125,000 results. If I request only “pages from Australia” I can reduce my search results. In the above scenario of “law firms in adelaide”, I received only 40,000. In anyone’s language - that’s still a lot of website to check. Google is certainly not the only search engine that potential clients use. There are many others such as Alta Vista, HotBot, Lycos, MSN, Yahoo to name a few. Each search engine has its own rules and formulas for collecting your website information to index. Search engines index or categorise your website details according to the meta-tags that you provide. Search engines are also known to analyse your title tags, home page content, links (from other websites), hits and unique visitors for popularity. They ignore websites with too much information, known as SPAMMING, and they tend to ignore JavaScript and animated websites (unless the animation or graphic uses “alt tags”). So, what does all this mean? Well, continuing with the Google example, it shows that not many law firms in Adelaide wish to be located or found via a search engine. The first page (of results generated) from the Google search provided the information for the Dibbs Barker Gosling law firm (a Sydney based law firm with affiliations in Adelaide). Kelly & Co came up on the second page and there were various other firms scattered within pages that followed. This would be poor from your potential client’s perspective as this lacks an immediate full and varied sample within the results to select from (no disrespect to law firms Dibbs Barker Gosling or Kelly & Co meant here). Your clients are typically used to the presentation of information through mediums such as the yellow or white pages ie providing the alphabetical ordered names of law firms. The web introduces a far more flexible approach to locating information specific to their needs. It is the combined elements of meta tagging, website construction and home page content which provide search engine results when a potential client conducts a quick search for “law firms in adelaide”. This report examines the use of meta-tags.

The websites analysed: The following pages contain information relating to law firm websites (below in alphabetical order) that have been analysed for the purpose of this report. All selected law firms are located in South Australia or have affiliations here (according to their website). They vary in corporate size. As previously explained there are many elements that make up the formula for search engine success, including meta-tags, website construction and home page content. This report provides information for the law firms sampled to improve existing meta-tags where appropriate to improve search engine positioning. The information within this report (for the law firms sampled) is provided for guidance only and is not complete (for each firm). Other elements may need to be considered to improve search engine rankings. Website Address or DOMAIN (URL) – listed in alphabetical order

Use your own law firm details for author unless otherwise negotiated. Having your web developers detail in this area only increases their ranking and prospective clients list, not yours. Website content is drafted and written by the law firm or a person acting for the law firm therefore it is more accurate to state this fact.

and not indexed by a search engine. A search engine may not index this website as they are using the key words multiple times eg “law” is used 22 times.

<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="

Smart tagging is outdated according to many sources: http://www.bauser.com/websnob/meta/browsers.html Smart Tags were a controversial form of web annotation introduced by Microsoft in early versions of Windows XP. Smart Tags are a form of third-party hyperlink: they allowed Microsoft (or any entity using the format) to introduce their own hyperlinks into any page viewed in Internet Explorer.

The public outcry against Smart Tags soon forced the technology off the market, but the MSSmartTagsPreventParsing tag remains as a monument. When its content is set to True, Internet Explorer will not display Smart Tags on the page containing this META tag.

Search engines locate the <title> tag element first and as such it is the most powerful element that you can add to your website. To complete or improve your title tag, consider adding your law firm location and a very brief description eg “Di Rosa Lawyers, Adelaide Law Firm”. In general web users, your clients, etc also use the information. Therefore title tags could be specific to each content page within your website, giving web users an additional reference point for navigation.

Not

all users of a search engine will spell words correctly! This provides an added edge or bonus for users of the web with potential clients being directed your way. Note - if it was deliberate in this instance, well done. Bonus tip: Consider adding “myer” and “myre” and even “meyre” and “mayer” to meta tag information. Not all prospective clients will use “meyer”.

Reading this law firm website leads me to believe they have extensive practices in all areas of the law, yet this is not fully explored within the Keyword selections. For best practice don’t limit your keyword selection. Use as many keywords required promoting your services to potential clients (by gaining advantage via search engines).
