			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We use SEO focused press releases to build links for our customers, some as the situation demands and others on a regular bi-weekly or monthly basis. </p>
<p>Here are 3 recent examples:</p>
<p>1) <a href="http://www.pressabout.com/paris-food-markets-iphone-app-201819/">Paris Food Markets Iphone App</a></p>
<p>2) <a href="http://www.release-news.com/index.php/business/67922-floormallcom-implements-customer-friendly-features.html">Floormall implements customer friendly features</a></p>
<p>3) <a href="http://www.sogroop.com/a-shelter-for-your-vintage-car">A shelter for your vintage car</a></p>
<p>Those are for 3 different customers, and while what we do for each business is different, our SEO press releases usually include: </p>
<ul>
<li>You provide us with the major points of your upcoming news release.</li>
<li>We&#8217;ll write a release that describes your news in appropriate terms and offers the necessary keyword text for the links we&#8217;ll be adding.</li>
<li>We&#8217;ll send this to you to edit.</li>
<li>Once we get it back we&#8217;ll tweak as necessary and perform a submission.</li>
<li>We code in up to 3 links to your website with the link text that we are targeting for you.</li>
<li>The submission pushed the SEO PR out to about 85 websites. </li>
<li>Usually about 30 pick it up and about half of those publish the 3 links we put in the release</li>
<li>We&#8217;ll send you a report about 3 business days after we submit with the URLs of all sites that picked it up.</li>
</ul>
<p>Our service uses a wide submission for sites that are all press release focused and offer the opportunity to submit links in the release. </p>
<p><strong>Call 203-789-8229 to see if this is a good fit for your SEO today!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the great downsides to outsourcing business services is that once in a while, you totally lose a customer, and sometimes that customer takes the time to tell others why. Here I am!<span id="more-364"></span></p>
<p>When we first started growing our employee base, we leased a desktop from Dell to try out the experience. We ended up spending about $750 on a desktop that we could have gotten for about $375, but we paid it monthly (~$40) so it wasn&#8217;t a big deal. We had decided that we would be returning it rather than buying it, as they want another $300 for the now quite outdated equipment. We actually got a great deal on 2 Dell desktops, Vostros, and been quite happy with them.</p>
<p><strong>Dell End of Lease</strong><br />
We got our instructions, followed them to the letter, repacking and mailing the 2 boxes (CPU and Monitor) back via USPS. I happily paid about $60 for the shipping, delivery confirmation and insurance. Especially the Delivery Confirmation!</p>
<p>About one month later we got a call from Dell Financial stating we were overdue on our monthly payment. We gave them our RMA number and delivery confirmation info and they said they&#8217;d check into it. We assumed after some clerical error, the matter was closed.</p>
<p>Then, today we get a call that we were to be referred to collections over $80 that they considered past due. So here I am stating blatantly and publicly that my company, and anyone who cares to listen, <strong>will not be doing business with Dell Financial, EVER AGAIN!</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Why we recommend not to do business with Dell Financial:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Over pay for the product</li>
<li>Their end of lease system is clearly flawed</li>
<li>Their customer service reps can&#8217;t solve a problem</li>
<li>Their customer care can offer no solutions, and are sans care</li>
</ul>
<p>I will be back here if I get another call. Clearly we owe them nothing since their equipment was returned. Now it&#8217;s treading in the waters of wasting my f@cking time, may the next outsourced person who calls me about this matter be bearing a stout heart because I am going to <strong>ruin their day</strong> if they do.</p>

		<title>CT Consensus Budget &#8211; Sales tax decrease proposed</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>How would a sales tax decrease affect your business?</h2>
<p>For 3PRIME, not much! We haven&#8217;t yet started selling <a href="http://www.flooringplaza.com" target="_blank">flooring in CT</a> or <a href="http://www.bydesignerhandbags.com/" target="_blank">designer handbags</a>, so this shouldn&#8217;t have an immediate affect on us.
</p>
<p>
But the proposed budget seeks to <strong>decrease the retail sales tax from 6 percent to 5.5 percent</strong>. Some of our local CT clients could experience an uptick in sales at a much needed time.
</p>
<p>
For example, RhinoShelters.com, the new brand for MDM Shelters <a href="http://www.mdmshelters.com" target="_blank">portable garage</a> products, will find that their customers save a bit on their sales taxes. this improves their ability to compete with other online sellers selling in CT, where MDM would have to charge sales tax.
</p>
<p>
Another local company, Universal Hotel Liquidators, a <a href="http://www.furnishcheap.com" target="_blank">CT furniture store</a>, will definitely benefit since most of their sales are to local New Haven residents. Of course, people come from all over CT, MA, and even NY because of their great deals, but all of these are taxable sales, so each of those customers stands to save a few dollars. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Home builders are suffering more than they have in a number of decades. Roger Sirany has been a builder for 21 years and has exhausted nearly every option to find new customers in the current business landscape.</p>
<p>But perhaps there is reason to raise hopes. Plumbline Builders has become the newest project of 3PRIME, the company dedicated to design, development and consulting, specializing in search engine optimization.</p>
<p>Recognizing the lack of cash in company coffers, 3PRIME has agreed to take this project on contingency, investing a discrete number of man-hours into earning PLBOnline a top spot in Google for the phrase &#8220;minneapolis remodeling&#8221;. Currently, the business website collects just a couple of leads each month, not enough to sustain their entire staff, especially with projects averaging fractions of the dollars they were a year ago.</p>
<p>3PRIME&#8217;s goal will be to increase the forms submitted on PLBOnline.com as much as possible. Studying their regional keywords, it is clear that the best placement for Plumbline will be for keyword searches that describe Plumbline&#8217;s services. Ryan Turner, partner at 3PRIME, says that &#8220;Natural placement in Google starts to build trust in the company before a potential customer even picks up the phone.&#8221; He continues, &#8220;Like most small businesses, PLB will be able to get in front of a new generation of customers by being visible where people are looking when they want to speak to an expert.&#8221;</p>
<p>3PRIME has fought through the growing pains in their own business, and is currently hiring and training new staff to continuously improve their service and expand their proprietary company projects. &#8220;We aren&#8217;t in the habit of taking risks like this&#8221; says Cornel Boudria, web technology guru and fellow partner at 3PRIME, &#8220;but these days, it is clear that helping other small companies is just good business.&#8221;</p>
