As always I am keen to improve KSBKids’ ranking for children’s clothes.
In terms of SEO, Google is hinting at using Page Speed score in its ranking algorithm. Matt Cutt’s states: “If you have two sites that are equally relevant, same backlinks, everything else is the same, you’d probably prefer the one that’s a little bit faster, so page speed can in theory be an interesting idea to try out for a factor in scoring different websites. But, absolutely, relevance is the primary component, and we have over 200 signals in our scoring to try to return the most relevant, the most useful, the most accurate search result that we can find. So, that’s not going to change.”
So although Google takes page speed into account (relevance still being the primary component) it is certainly a crucial aspect in providing a pleasant user experience. It ensures that a visitor’s ”limited” attention span and time are spent on content and not wasted waiting for images to load. Studies have shown that users will not tolerate more than a 4 second load time. If your site fails to offer a quick response, your users will leave.
Mark Bonnet from the B2B centre at Warwick Business Schoolhas pointed out to me that 2 of the major speed analysis tools are YSlow and Google’s Page Speed.
On this rather damp Sunday morning I came across GTmetrix, a free tool to help measure the speed of pages. It’s a handy, easy to use tool that provides a Page Speed Score using both Yslow and Google and it even highlights the factors that affect the speed. Have a look at it!
My problem now is carrying out their recommendations. I may well be a SEO Chick in the making, but programmer I am not! I have learned of factors that may help to get KSBKids to rank better for children’s clothes. And the way I look at it, even if it does not achieve much with regard to ranking, if we can improve the user experience then that in itself is a great achievement!

For any girls out there working on SEO for websites, I saw this and just thought it was rather fun. Ohhh yes I have ordered one ……… hope to be able to qualify to wear it one day. But it made me smile.
So as I am working away to improve the SEO in the hope that KSBKids will rank higher for children’s clothes I will indeed be wearing my t-shirt.

There is always something new to learn about SEO and often I indeed have to go back and refresh “old” information …. I put this down to information overload and old age (well, I am approaching my 40s sooner than I would like).
Anyway, to refresh your knowledge about meta descriptions etc this article was recommended to me by Mark from Yellow Zombie who provides Web Design and Search Marketing Services.
Everything you need to know about SEO…….
So to get KSBKids to rank a little higher when searching for Children’s Clothes I will bear their recommendations in mind.

We continuously strive to improve the user experience. It is easy to get a “little stuck” and assume visitors will “use” the site and navigate round it in a certain way.
We also constantly undertake activities that will improve our page listing, – we all aim to appear within the first few pages, but how do you really succeed? We sell
children’s clothes, - but what should we do to make sure we appear on one of the first few pages when the user is searching for children’s clothes. It is an ever changing battlefield and it can indeed be hard to know where to focus resources best.
At KSBKids we have been extremely lucky to work with the
B2B centre at Warwick Business School. Especially Mark Bonnett who also runs
Yellow Zombie, a web design and search marketing company based in Warwickshire, has provided valuable support and guidance.
Currently, we may not appear among the top sites when search for
children’s clothes or Scandinavian & Danish children’s clothes online ……… but when we get there much will be owed to Mark.
I will continue to keep you updated of our efforts.

Denmark is not only a country (ohhh yes believe it or not it is not the capital of Sweden ………….How many people have not asked me that over the years), it’s also the theme for this blog entry, well not so much the country, rather Danish children’s clothes design!
I could however happily tell you about the country, but I am biased! I could go on about the Danish pastries, the rye-bread, the numerous bike lanes even in the city centre, the vast amount of corn fields, the sea, Tivoli, Nyhavn’en …. ohhh yes I love it all. Denmark is in so many ways idyllic. I also think they to a greater extend than us here in the UK manages to put the family first. When I was last in Copenhagen I noticed that they have now installed timers next to pedestrian crossings. You know exactly how long you have to cross the street before the “red man” reappears. That just sums up the Danish efficiency.
Denmark is renowned for high fashion and quality and the strong Danish sense of practicality along with cutting edge designs can only be a winner when it comes to children’s clothes.
Danish children’s clothes have some awesome designs, slightly retro at times. Quality is assured and the clothes have generally been designed with playful children in mind!
Danish and indeed Scandinavian Children’s Clothing is known for its bright and colorful designs and their reasonable prices. Many of the brands have established a loyal following across Europe. Always, happy, colourful, trendy, friendly and wear-resistant qualities at affordable prices. For Danish and Scandinavian children’s clothes click here.

I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you how much I like your products. We bought some tops for my son a while back and he finds them very comfortable, and he looks great in them. They don’t fade much with washing, either. We’ll definitely be back in the future.
Happy new year!
