Web Site Usability and SEO
by Kent Lewis on December 9, 2005UncategorizedWeb site usability focuses on what happens after users arrive on a Web site with research and work on the browsing and scanning processes. Now usability experts must put as much time and effort into the querying process. Querying is an active process, something search marketers have known for years. People actively searching for a product or service are a great target audience because they’re pre-qualified prospects. In other words, active searchers are more likely to make a purchase.
