Do you know how I can promote this new site without investing too much money? I would greatly appreciate your advice on some tips and tricks to get my company noticed online!” In response to this type of inquiry, we normally offer a series of ideas regarding website promotion. The following are five examples of methods newer website owners may use to drive traffic to a local business website, focusing on the aforementioned apparel scenario. 1) Make comments on popular blogs and websites that provide useful information to your target cliente, and add a link back to your website.

Sometimes, a company may simply lose track of its online assets, and this is where we come in. 3-PRIME has recently helped a local insurance company take control of its online presence and develop it in important ways that will allow it to increase its rankings and customer base on the Internet. First, we tracked down the company website hosting information, as well as ftp passwords that had been lost. Next, we recovered control panel access and regained the ability to modify and update the site. After that, we installed a number of important site management tools, starting with Google Analytics, which allowed us to keep statistics on site hits and keywords. We also installed the WordPress engine, in order to make it easier to maintain and update the site. To get our client started, we wrote and uploaded two initial posts on the company’s new blog. Finally, we wrote a custom PHP script to add search engine friendly links on their homepage to their blog posts. This way, each time our clients add a post on their company blog, the company homepage will be updated with links to the entry, so that visitors will be able to easily keep up to date with news and other updates.

Spotting phishing and fake order spam in 5 seconds flatWe get these fairly regularly (1 per week), and occasionally our website maintenance clients forward one to us. Who knows how much time their salespeople waste following up on fake orders, only to decide at the end that the order is fraudulent. Or worse, they ship the order only to find that the payment fails. Review the following message and I’ll tell you how you know its a BS phishing or fake order spam in 5 seconds flat! MDM Furniture CategoryAs part of our efforts to include useful links on our clients’ websites, we have created a new link category on MDM Shelters: Furniture & Construction. Since MDM makes portable garages and outdoor shelters, it makes sense for us to place links to sites that specialize in furniture and other garden accessories. Hopefully, our customers will find the new links useful and convenient. I'll Stick With the American MediaThe tragedy in Japan has captured the attention and sympathy of the entire world, with even the country’s traditional enemy – China – sending aid. The Deputy Editor of the major Russian newspaper “Izvestiya,” however, had a different view of the events. Yelena Yampolskaya contributed to her newspaper’s ongiong commentary on the disaster by writing that while “none of us are happy to see the Japanese suffer,” the event is “obvious proof” of God’s intervention on behalf of Russia, in retaliation for unspecified Japanese offenses against her country. Yampolskaya doesn’t appear to have ever detailed the nature of Haiti’s crimes against Russia that caused the devastating 2010 earthquake in that country, which left 300,000 people dead and the nation in ruins. Certainly, we have heard similar pronouncements Stateside on occasion, but they have generally come from people safely ensconced in small, radical churches and not in major news outlets. CT Governor Seeks what Florida Left On The TableMalloy is out to get what Florida left on the table… good for him! I’m all for reducing the deficit but this type of infrastructure is worthwhile spending on hard assets that will help to build Connecticut’s transportation future! Medieval Murderer gets Facebook Fan GroupThe murder of Salman Taseer, the governor of Pakistan’s Punjab province, by one of his own bodyguards has grabbed headlines around the world this past week. Taseer incurred the enmity of Pakistani religious conservatives by speaking out in favor of the rights of women and religious minorities. Recently, Taseer has advocated the repeal of Pakistan’s hoary blasphemy law, which prescribes mandatory execution for anyone convicted of “insulting Islam” – most recently, a mother of four from Pakistan’s terrified Christian minority. Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, inexplicably assigned to Taseer’s security detail despite being a religious whackjob, decided to please God by shooting his boss either nine or twenty-four times, according to varying reports. After earning his ticket to Heaven, Qadri gave himself up, and was showered with flowers from well-wishers on the way to the hoosegow. One of them even created a Facebook group in his support, which lists almost 300 members (who, I bet, immediately show up on a couple of other lists as well) and overflows with schmaltzy paeans to the heroic act of killing an unarmed man for the sin of trying to drag his country into the 18th century. Unfortunately, the only way to leave a comment on the group’s wall of madness is to join it, so we are reduced to firing off blog posts into the ether, with sincere wishes that Qadri’s punishment fits his own medieval views. Happy New YearWell, we made it through another year! What have we learned from 2010? What were our accomplishments? There were earthquakes, fires, volcanoes and floods, but the sun didn’t go out and the Internet didn’t shut down. Our government did nothing but fight itself for 11 months, only to rally like a college sophomore and win a last chance for a passing grade with a spurt of accomplishments in the two weeks before Christmas. One war drew down, while another escalated. Christopher Nolan made a good movie, and M. Night Shyamalan made a bad one. Everybody is trying to dig themselves out from under the recession, and, if you live in the North-East, about a yard of snow. Gourmet hamburgers are still the best comfort food in existence. In 2011, let’s try harder, stretch our arms out further, and get ourselves out of this funk already. Happy New Year, everyone! |
