In 2010, we started optimizing our client’s Google places locations, or claiming them if they were the automated ones with little customization.
One such page was one for Eagle Rivet, one of our ct web design clients. One of the phrases we built in was ct roof snow removal, and they couldn’t be happier with the seasonal jobs they’ve gotten to pick up as a result!
Don’t over look this for your business! Here’s why:
The top Google places results are shown at the top or above natural results
Google Places provide functionality like reviews that can help you sell customers before they call
Here is an email I see at least once per quarter, usually forward from a client. The full email is below, but the story starts that a company in Asia is seeking to register a domain with the same name as theirs. Continue »
And what really kills me is they were boneheaded enough to publish all of our email addresses in the CC field. That’s just plain rude.
So I apologize but I took advantage and responded to everyone offering our services. As business owners, exploiting opportunity must be our top priority.
Here’s my response:
Spam marketing probably means spammy practices.

I’ve been offline for almost 6 months and trying to catch up again. What would be 3 noteworthy changes/updates in web design during that time?
– Jörg B. 28 / M / Copenhagen, Denmark
3 significant developments in recent months are:
1) Simpler messages incorporated into large homepage presentation layer
2) Incorporation of video into websites
3) Incorporation of social media iconography and connections into websites
What’s the best CMS for an ad agency website, complete with multiple blogs and password-protected areas?
– Kevin F. 24 / M / Lincoln, NE
Sounds like you have a big project on your hands. I think the most important thing to consider is that any one product that handles multiple blogs and group level access may have too many moving parts, be over developed, or be packaged software that requires extensive customization.
I’d recommend you carefully consider the various elements you need, why you’d want separate blogs, and what information needs to be password protected. I’d suggest you’d be better served by multiple, simple solutions than trying to force one of the popular open-source CMS’ to fit your mold.
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! Continue »

I’m actually creating my own website right now (and no, it’s not cosmetics-related) and I seek some advice from you regarding hosting. Just like you, I buy all my domains thru GoDaddy, only so far I never had to worry about hosting and FTP upload. I am reading horror stories online about GoDaddy hosting services and I’m having a hard time evaluating where the truth is… Some love it, some hate it!
Is GoDaddy a decent option for hosting? Or is it for suckers/newbies who don’t know any better?
Regarding hosting, I do recommend GoDaddy, but it may be that I am highly familiar with it, so I am used to ignoring the upsells they send you through when you are setting up services with them. I have had sites run poorly, I have had problems with hacking, but overall, with over 100 sites hosted with them I’d say they are good bet.
For someone better, and at $60 per year paid upfront very comparable in price, we use KnownHost.com. It takes longer to setup, you have to wait for emails and such (24 hours) but the control panel is much more powerful and the service is somewhat more reliable. Main difference, they don’t provide telephone support. So if you you want more personal support, go with godaddy.
