The line “what you see is what you get” is not always true especially when put into context. Try creating or putting a photo or a drawing in the computer, then putting all the right colors. What do you get? You have just created the perfect picture! Using all the techniques the software has to offer, you succeeded in making the pictures with the right colors. Just perfect.

The problem came when you tried printing it out. The printed copy did not turn out exactly like the one in the computer right? Although it looks fine, but it does not fit into the one you see on screen. You tried editing the colors, to no vain. Then to get to think that what you see is not what you always get.

There are some limitations in the computer technology that justifies what you see in the computer is not what you see when it is in print. This, combined with the light conditions are one of the most common factors that affect color printing. There are a lot of things that the publishers and the people have to consider in wanting to get the right colors into prints. To those who have the good fortune of doing it get to realize that there are many complexities, together with art and science, involved in the process.

One of the reasons is the light being used by the computer for display. Pictures and designs are therefore illuminated by this, giving the viewer a crystal clear image, void of any fault, not only in colors but also in the lay out and the texture. It should be taken into account that monitors display images with added primary colors red, green and blue. These colors are not associated to in prints.

The tool used in taking the image is also another big factor. Though there are already means of arranging images in the computer to make it look better, the possibility of it not coping up with the standards of the more advanced equipments is more than likely. Take, for example, a photo taken from an ordinary camera. Compared it with the one taken from a digital camera. You would notice the difference once you get to see them side by side. The more modern tool offers advanced features that enhances the colors and the picture as a whole.

Another factor to be considered is the consistency of the lights used in the photo taking. If the photo is taken with fluorescent illuminating them, then it would definitely look different when taken into a setting of natural lighting like sunlight. So it would not be surprising that your photo would look quite different from the one you have taken.

Wanting to get the right colors in picture is not always that easy. It pays to know some important factors about colors first before going through with it.

Lets face it, when a visitor does arrive it only follows that we should do our best to help them see the value in our website, no?

Welcome new visitor, here is our feed, blah blah... Can't we do better then that?

I see a lot of variations on the Welcome new visitor, here is our feed type of thing when I arrive at blogs and such these days. Sometimes this gets customized if the site determines that I am a "Googler" (visiting from a search engine) and then offers me some piece of text to try and make me become a passionate user of their site.

This strategy never makes me a passionate user.

What does work is when I read the page in question and then navigate around the site and find more great content.

So the trick should be to make great-content discovery the goal.

Welcome Googler, let us help you out

Here we present one solution that works for helping people discover your site. As a side effect it will increase your pageviews in a proper, natural way. (We have a whole pile of other solutions for this, however that manuscript post isn't quite ready yet.)

  1. Check referer string
  2. If search engine, grab query text
  3. Do a full text search on your content to find other articles on your site that are related to their search query
  4. Pass the resulting list to the reader in a user friendly way
  5. Maybe keep that list persistent for the session, unless they close it

What we have done is created a custom, on-the-fly navigation system based on their search query! This little widget should work to keep them poking around your site.

Placement etc.

We've been using this on several sites now (along with some other ideas alluded to above) and it works. Pageviews per user go up. Bounce rate falls (more on that in the future too).

We have had to play with the placement of this box: top of the page? Floated to the right/left of the main page content? Following them down the page (with js)?

As they say, your mileage may vary, but chances are you will get more mileage out of more readers, and that is a good sticky thing.
