psyris page creation help ... tips and explanations
questions and answers
Q. Will my page be immediately available in the search engines?
A. No. It takes a few days before Google and others index your page.
Q. Will my page be immediately available in the Psyris Custom Search Engine?
A. No. The psyris custom search engine only serves pages that Google has indexed. Google crawls psyris regularly, but only every few days and only when they feel like it. Other search engines crawl psyris, but we can't say when they will again.
You can submit your psyris address to the search engines directly. When I have time, I will update this comment with some search engine submission tips.
Q. Will my page be immediately available on the web?
A. Yes. Your psyris.com address is immediately active.
Q. Why can't I use CAPITAL LETTERS in my page name?
A. When people enter your address on the web, it doesn't matter if they enter capital letters or not. You can give out your address as having capitals. but you can't enter it that way here. It seems to be a Windows thing.
Q. What's the difference between the private and the public email.
A. Psyris may need to contact you. You have to provide an email address. You don't have to display your email address publicly, but you can if you want.
If you do include an email address on your page, psyris will not make it a live link. Anytime your email address appears on the web, it might be harvested by the spam robots. It is somewhat less likely to be harvested if is published just as text, and not in the form of a link.
Q. What is this security question you want me to write?
A. The answer to your security question is your password.
With respect to security, our assumption is that this is not a place where evil hackers are likely to deploy password cracking software. It's not like it's your bank account. So we are not insisting that you include a mix of numbers and letters and punctuation marks.
But please don't make it obvious or easy to guess, and don't use a question for which others could easily find the answer. Don't use secure information, like your mother's maiden name.
Psyris does not have an automated password retrieval system (nor would we wish to), so you want to write a question that allows you to recall what your password is, without being obvious.
If you need to access your page and you can't, there is the secret decoder ring ... send me a note and I'll retrieve your account information.
Q. How should I write my brief practice description?
A.You have a limited number of characters. It's a title line for your page. It's a summary statement about what you do.
Q. How should I describe my location?
A. Here, you want to tell people where you are located in terms they will immediately understand. By the time they reach your page, they will probably at least know what State you are in and perhaps what County.
In most cases, you will want to give a City name, and perhaps a bit more, like: "Center City, in the Financial District."
In other cases, you would specify a larger are, like: "North Santa Barbara" or "South Lake Tahoe."
If you were to say: "Midtown Sacramento," there would be no confusion.
Your location might require some further explantion, like: "Midtown Manhattan, on the east side, near Bob's Cheese Parlor."
Q. What should I say in the bio section?
A. This is your professional statement ... the main body of your webpage. You have to decide what you want people to read about you.
Some people advise that you should decscribe your "ideal" client or how you go about conducting treatment.
My view is that you should start by describing yourself. I think that people want to know who you are, and not how you feel about therapy. I believe that people actually want to know about your background and experience.
Q. What should I say about the services I provide?
A. Tell people what you do. Bear in mind the difference between what you do and who you do it with, or for what purposes you do these things.
Q. What should I say about my areas of expertise?
A. This is where you talk about specific populations, or problems or issues that you deal with. This is where you describe the problems you are prepared to address.
Q. What can I put under office information?
A. This is where you can say anything needing to be said about your practice or your office policies. You can talk about health plans or sliding fee scales, hours of operation or specific location instructions. Be certain that you include information about languages other than English in which you provide services.
This is an unrestricted field. You need to decide what needs to be said here. You want to provide information that will encourage clients to call, and you want to avoid including information that will turn people away.
