The Zenger Group website www.zenger.com was ported to the base2co CMS and went live on Friday.

This website includes our latest feature - Hierarchical menus using the Yahoo User Interface (YUI) menu system. We’ve taken the YUI menu one step further and SEO optimized it for our customers.

The Zenger website has had some optimization done prior to this move. Now we have completed optimization and added a News page that will get linked to social networks like facebook and twitter. From here we will establish a baseline with Google search. Then plan and execute an effective strategy to improve results for new and existing keywords.

The Yahoo User Interface (YUI) Menu makes menus very portable to all browsers.

• Any item or page can be added to the menu.

• Any menu item can have sub-menus.

• Style is handled via CSS and sprite images.

Dynamic menus like this should only be used by sites that have large amounts of content. This is because items in submenus will not be ranked as well by search engines (compared to normal visible links). In this case we were matching and improving rank of the existing site. Both sites were pure CSS so the conversion was rather simple (except for testing in IE 6 and 7).

Niacet Corporation

Calcium Stearoyl Lactylate (CSL), Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate (SSL), Calcium Propionate and Sodium Propionate are now on the first page of Google search results globally!

These results make Niacet’s the first manufacturer listed in the results for several of the products.

Excuria Salon and Med Spa

Local product optimization

Redken Hair Care Products - sold only in Salons and Spas and not available on-line. Redken has an Anti-Diversion Policy. So we have optimized search to bring people to the Excuria Salon and Med Spa, and Salon Professional Academy (TSPA) websites. Oribe Hair Care Products can be sold on-line, but they also are sold in the Spa. So we optimized locally and globally. See below.

Try some searches yourself, like:
• Redken Hair Care Buffalo
• Oribe Hair Care Buffalo
• Oribe Shampoo Buffalo

Try your own searches with Williamsville (actual location) and any of the Oribe or Redken specific product names. Most local results list Excuria and TSPA on top

Global product optimization

Oribe Hair Care Products are sold everywhere in the world. Competition is very very tough. We are getting back to the top again for many Oribe product searches. “Oribe Conditioner” Google search results now list excuriaspa.com right under oribe.com! Excuria’s Oribe products search results are now found on the first and second page consistently.

How much is it worth for your product or service to be on the top of Google search results?

We are scheduling site conversion to the base2co CMS into August. If you want to be ready for the Christmas shopping season NOW is the time to get your site optimized.

Our latest CMS version is now live. Included in this upgrade is the use of animated YUI menus. The Yahoo User Interface (YUI) Menu makes menus very portable to all browsers.

• Any item or page can be added to the menu.

• Any menu item can have sub-menus.

• Style is handled via CSS and sprite images.

Dynamic menus like this should only be used by sites that have tons of content. Items in submenus will not get the attention from spiders. We have search engine optimized the top menu choices which should always be linked to a page with relevant content and links contained in its submenu.

Since complex menus are still not traversed, spidered and ranked as well as an "h1 a href" you should keep your links simple and well keyworded outside of this menu to get higher rank in search.

The Zenger Group website uses this new menu system (replacing the one you see currrently) and will be going live after we complete the final site review.

January 2010 upgrade information

For the release of the Branches of Niagara Campground and Resort web site we added the YUI Carousel and improved photo sizing and storage. Branches of Niagara uses the carousel on its home page and 2 carousels in the photo gallery.

I like the carousel for many many reasons, here are a few:

•  Images can easily be loaded and managed by the owner of the website.

•  Advertisements and other text can be placed in them.

Niacet Corporation began producing the Emulsfiers: Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate and Calcium Stearoyl Lactylate. The product launch is now live on the website and optimization across the site has been completed to reflect these changes.

As Niacet only produces a handful of products compared to the other global chemical corporations, their web competition is fierce. Niacet uses AdWords as well as optimization to ensure you see Niacet whenever you search for chemicals they produce.

We also updated optimization for existing products across the board. Calcium Propionate should be back on the first page soon.

Optimized to dominate local search and global search via Google products and great site optimization. This extremely competitive Web Ad Market is tough to crack. We were able to to this back in 2005 and 2006 with the Sebastian Evokativ Hair Care products. We're out to do it again.

Oribe, the eponymous product line from one of the most influential hairdressers of all time, defines luxury in hair care.

These are the products of the hair-obsessed.

Camping close to Niagara Falls just got better! Branches of Niagara opens this Spring. A combined effort of many helped bring this this site together. Look for Branches of Niagara on Facebook too, and become a fan.

Their 70-acre park-like setting is a beautiful mix of forests and meadows with an 8-acre lake! Plenty of space for you and your family to explore and enjoy.

You can spend your day sightseeing at Niagara Falls, fishing and boating on our lake or the Niagara River or just sit and relax lakeside.

They have a gorgeous heated swimming pool, games for the whole family, and, of course, our immaculately maintained camping facilities.
