Hi, my name is Neglected.
“When my owners first set me up they had all kinds of visions for what I was going to do. There was so much excitement at first, but now…nothing. (Sigh….) My footer says 2012, my last blog post was 2/21/14, and 4 years later, I still have pages that say ‘Under Construction.’”
Provisio Web Counseling Helps Neglected Websites Live Up to Their Potential
When you are working with a marketing professional, it is easy to make big plans for your future’s website. But if reality doesn’t allow you to take on as much as you planned, it can hurt you in the long run. A neglected website is an awesome way to decrease your rankings in search results.
One way you know a website has been neglected is if you find Latin filler text. Called “Lorem Ipsum,” it looks something like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla vestibulum metus sit amet vestibulum vestibulum. Nulla fringilla enim sit amet neque lobortis scelerisque. Donec ac nibh at felis egestas consectetur.
You can find all kinds of small business websites that have gone live with Lorem Ipsum still filling the gaps in their web content. But this can hurt their SEO and tells readers that your business might not be everything your website claims.
Do You Think Your Website is Neglected?
If you aren’t sure if your website is neglected, ask yourself:
-
When is the last time you updated your website?
-
Do you have webpages that aren’t complete or are “Under Construction”?
-
Are you using filler text or short block paragraphs to stand in for quality content?
-
When is the last time you posted a new blog article?
