Website Comparison
Website Comparison
So my third post is going to be about my two chosen events
websites. I am going to focus on two points, the first being where the event official
page is positioned on three different search engines, and then the next I will
be looking on the actual website and having a look at the page.
Just thought i would include a little website definition.
If a website is designed correctly and in a good way it can
play a big part in the way the customer interprets your website. It could also have
an effect of ticket sales for the event.
So I am first going to find the position of Country Living
Spring fair on three search engines, the first being Google, then search it on
Bing then lastly Yahoo. The reason for choosing these three is that these are
the top three search engines with Google having a massive 900,000,000 monthly visits.
I started by typing ‘Country Living Spring Fair’ Google took
0.15 seconds to find 3,160,000 results, with the top two results being the Official Websites. The amount of results is high but most of
these pages probably have nothing to do with the event they will be about the magazine
itself.
Next I went onto Bing and searched the same ‘country living
spring fair’ Bing found 74,900,000 results but it doesn't show how long it took
to search it. You can already notice one difference between Google and Bing in
that Bing found a whopping 71,000,000 more results. Unlike Google, Bing top three
results were all links to the Country Living website.
Lastly Yahoo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIPmS4Pb0ww&feature=related) so like before I done the
same search, this time with a result of 96,400,000 but with only the top two
results linking to the main website. Unlike Google and Bing yahoo has a sponsored
result on the top, this sponsored result take you to ask.com and automatically
searches ‘Country Living Fair’ in ask.com
I Just out of curiosity I thought I
would have a little look around to see if I could find a graph or survey that
shows who and what people actually click on
one they have searched on a search engine.
This image is an old image from
the end of 2006 but it does give a rough guide to what activity goes on. As you can see the most popular areas clicked on are the top three links
with very few people going to the
bottom of the page or so the side sponsors.
This is helpful for Country Living Spring Fair as they are top two
on all three
search engines.
So next I am going have a look at the website, http://www.countrylivingfair.com/spring/.
So
you lot can see what im seeing here is a screen shot
The website is nice and easy to read it’s not to cluttered and
you can easily find your way round it, tit stays with the spring fair theme
with pastel colours and uses a basket pattern in the background. The website main
picture has a little paragraph about a brief over view of what the Spring Fair
is, there are links all around the home page that take you to the necessary
pages such as buy tickets or to see the exhibition list. The home page has mini
two slide shows which flip through different images which you can click on to
be redirected. One of the slides shows being the sponsor’s three pictures scrolling
across in the bottom right corner. The main three sponsors are Ecover, Windsmoor
and Rituals cosmetics. The opening times are nice and clear in the top right
corner.
I will be looking at these same point but for Drake next…..
see you soon.
