Today Is A Great Day For Spring Cleaning!

Even though it might still be cold and dark outside, today is a great day to do some spring cleaning on your website.

True, your site isn’t likely to have dust bunnies or streaks on the windows, but there are things you can do to clean up your site. Here are some “spring cleaning tips” that you can use.

Check your Links Pages. If you have a links page, check to make sure that the websites that you link to are still there or haven’t significantly changed since you added them. It goes without saying that a webmaster might wander off, letting someone else get ahold of the site and change it into something it wasn’t when you added the link. Tools like the Xenu link checker can help save you some time doing checks by hand.

Make sure Your Site Is Cross Browser Compatible. There is nothing worse than landing on a webpage that doesn’t format correctly on your computer monitor. Make sure that your website looks presentable in Firefox, Internet Explorer and other browser formats.

Consider Updating Your Web Design. It’s like putting a fresh coat of paint on your walls. Try experimenting with different colors or changing the layout of your site. You might consider changing your logo or adding more features for your readers. Just be sure not to rename any pages so you don’t suddenly disappear in the search engines.

Review Your SEO Efforts Search Engine Optimization can help make your site search engine friendly, but these tactics won’t be able to overcome a website that isn’t friendly to the user.
Use a few simple SEO tactics and a usable website and you’re on the road to success!

I hope these simple website cleaning tips get you motivated to refresh your site before spring even gets here… now grab that keyboard and get to work!
