The Top 5 Traits of All Good Websites

-
Nobody knows for sure how many millions of websites are on the internet. But we do know this: all the good ones share the same five characteristics: 

The best websites are:
  1. Visually appealing. This means perfectly matching color combos with nice layout and design 
  2. User-friendly. The best websites are easy to navigate. Novice web surfers should be able to their way around your site quickly and easily.
  3. Optimized for search engines. (Not just Google, but all of them.) 
  4. Aware of their audience. For example, your camp's website should appeal to kids and parents alike, not just one or the other
  5. Updated frequently. New pictures, content and material keep your site fresh, useful and relevant.
These five qualities are not hard to master. But there's too many lazy people running websites who don't take the time to make sure their sites meet these standards. If your camp's website stands up to these traits, you're golden.

More frightening to me is the fact I can't operate my camp this summer due to the pandemic and the associated financial ramifications, many of which aren't even known to me yet. We Were Hopeful to Open Camp I was hopeful to operate in at least some capacity this summer. But given the modifications we'd need to make and virulent way coronavirus is tearing through L.A. County right now, it's highly unlikely (let alone advisable) to open camp this summer at all. From a financial standpoint, it's been a killer. I know many of you are facing your own struggles and hardships due to coronavirus. I hope everything works out for you. But as difficult as all of this has been (and continues to be!), we have to move forward. We owe it to our staff, campers, customer fami

Even though your website and blog may already be included in the top search engines, it doesn't hurt to cover your bets. Here's where you can add your sites to Google, Yahoo and Bing for free: Here's where to submit your site to Google: http://www.google.com/addurl/ Here's where to submit your blog to Google:  http://blogsearch.google.com/ping?hl=en Here's where to submit to site to Yahoo: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit Here's where to submit your site to Bing: http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx You might also try DMOZ ,  the open directory project. DMOZ is a massive internet directory run by volunteers who understand the needs of the internet users. It's a little harder to get included there, but if you do, it can pay off big time. In fact DMOZ is so potentially influential that many of the smaller (and larger!) search engines often use the sites listed in DMOZ to deliver search results to their own users. It sounds f
