I live on the balmy west coast of Canada, which I can tell you is not balmy right now. We have had almost 3 feet of snow in the last few days and more to come. What does this have to do with “look­ing for­ward to 2009″? Well, as I looked at the claus­tro­pho­bic snow pil­ing up I real­ized that in all things it is time to do more with less.

So for 2009:

— take a look at your web­site and see what pages may not be work­ing any longer. Maybe it is time to redi­rect them to a page on your site that you can cover the same topic(s) and not just bulk up your site.

- take a look at your con­tent, espe­cially the index page. When was the last time you changed the con­tent? Is your con­tent outdated?

- take a look at the key­words / key phrases that you are using. Are they rel­e­vant for today’s mar­ket? Are there more keywords/phrases then you need — prob­a­bly more tar­geted words will work better?

- take a look at your link­ing. Are there links that no longer work for your site? Are there links that no longer work period?

- take a look at your visual web design. This may be listed last but cer­tainly not least! When was the last time you updated your web­site (2–4– or more years?) Are vis­i­tors com­ing in and see­ing the same-old-same-old?

Look ahead to 2009. It is a new start and you can do more with less and suc­ceed — YES YOU CAN!!

Wish­ing you a joy­ous hol­i­day sea­son and dreams come true in the New Year.
