			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this year, Capcatcher&#8217;s owners met with 3PRIME to discuss utilizing our <a href="http://www.3-prime.com/services/development/search-engine-optimization-development/">search engine optimization services</a>. Capcatchers produces an ingenious product which is called, you guessed it, Capcatchers. Capcatchers are personalized, wall mountable bottle openers, which catch all of the caps  sheared from bottles. They make very <a href="http://www.capcatchers.com">unique groomsmen gifts</a> and 3PRIME co-owners Ryan and Cornel have been using them long before they were contacted by the company.</p>
<p>Needless to say, we&#8217;re really excited about the project and it is always a great opportunity to work with another Connecticut based small business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The short answer is yes FB has implications on rankings. The big question is how you use it.</p>
<p>1) Improve the placement of your FB page<br />
2) Trying to use FB to improve the placement of your website. </p>
<p>If your goal is #1, then there are various traditional SEO activities you can do. You then need to concern yourself with what people can do once they get there. </p>
<p>If you are only worried about #2, then the only thing to do is to get the FB pages ranked more highly, so that the few links to your website are worth more. </p>
<p>In either case you&#8217;re going to be building the prominence of the FB page, but why you are doing it is the most critical question to answer. This will determine your course of action.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Only two months ago we began working for a site which was launched in August of 2010. And since beginning work for them, their new website has gone from nowhere, to first page for their top 2-word phrase. The services we performed for the site included consulting, on-page SEO optimization and link building through press releases and article submissions.</p>
<p>And we&#8217;re not done!  For the final month of our engagement, 3PRIME will be employing targeted reciprocal link building. So far it&#8217;s looking very promising that this site, which isn&#8217;t even a year old, could rank #1 for its most competitive 2 word phrase.</p>
<p>Does your site need a boost? If so <a href="http://www.3-prime.com/contact/">contact 3PRIME</a> and we&#8217;ll work with you to build a growth action plan to help your site thrive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new client of ours had wanted to switch from their hosting company for a while now but had been hesitant to do so because of how abrasive the company had been with her. With help from 3PRIME they were (finally) able to make the switch, but not without receiving a few parting shots from their old hosting company, which we will call DisgruntledHosts.com. The following is an unaltered correspondence between Doug S. of DisgruntledHosts.com and our client.</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-669"></span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>What they do is not easy. And what they do is strong arm and threaten their clients. It takes a certain level of depravity and immaturity not found in most businesses, but they&#8217;re just that dedicated. This was in direct response to our client asking to be released from their hosting service:</p>
<blockquote><p>From: Doug S</p>
<p>To: [Our New Customer]</p>
<p>Sent: Tue, Dec 14, 2010 10:42 am</p>
<p>Subject: release of liabilty</p>
<p>Nancy or Scott, as you know we have been hosting your website for years and doing a great job what we do is not easy and don’t let anyone tell you different we have been getting called by a Ryan Turner to move your site to a different server. <strong>DisgruntledHosts.com</strong> has the most secure servers out there with the highest level of security allowed. ASA secured. What appears to be simple is not if it is not broke don’t fix it. I think Ryan is going to ride our coat tails it won’t work. All 9000 back links will go away and that will effect your Google rankings right away. If you hire a link farm which will be your only option you WILL attract porno sites and Google will band your website. The risk you are about to take will take a toll on your business. The main factor is we spend $50.000.00 a month on research for the search engines you will not do that and I am sure you are not aware of the Google change as of oct 28th which is affecting over 50% of all web sites out there. We had to adjust over 9000 clients to maintain rankings. The bottom line is someone told you the mistruth and will hurt your site and rankings. This e-mail which I need back before I will release your website to anyone is for liability purposes to verify that <strong>DisgruntledHosts.com </strong>will no longer be liable for your website performance and or rankings in the search engines. You are authorizing the site to be moved if it does not work we are not responsible as in the past people have moved there sites they dropped rankings in Google and tried to come after us for loss of income. Please respond to this and I will release your site with my best wishes when your business drops off someone else will write you a check for the loss. After you realize the mistake you are making you can always return to <strong>DisgruntledHosts.com </strong>the cost would be somewhere around $7500.00 per year. At this point we are going to pursue another company in your area (a competitor) to promote to Google if we sign a competitor we could not take your company back as we don’t promote direct competitors.</p>
<p>Thank You</p></blockquote>
<p>Not only do they specialize in threats but they also excel at sarcasm</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8212;&#8211;Original Message&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>From: Doug S</p>
<p>To: [Our New Customer]</p>
<p>Sent: Tue, Dec 14, 2010 11:03 am</p>
<p>Subject: cancel</p>
<p>Have Ryan call us and we also discussed your case and we decided to promote one of your competitors who called us a few months ago. she had seen your site ranking and wanted our service.  because we promoted you we turned her down. now that you have left we will do her website for her. As a friend there is no way he will compete with my company and our work so I feel bad that your website will drop off of Google. It was a pleasure working with you and your company good luck in the future</p></blockquote>
<p>This guy is getting too old for this Sh*t. And by sh*t we mean responding to clients in a mature and professional manner. But on the other hand, he is just the right age to respond to clients like a 10 year old bully. Note the proper use of caps to really hammer home his point.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8212;&#8211;Original Message&#8212;&#8211;<br />
Sent: Tue, Dec 14, 2010 11:03 am<br />
Subject: cancel</p>
<p>Nancy, I am way to old to play games with any client I am releasing your website and good luck remember I am the number one SEO company putting websites on Google I prove that by showing you we rank number one in our key words and also remember that anyone can tell you they can put you on Google BUT IF THERE WEBSITE IS NOT ON GOOGLE how are they going to do yours we lead by example so ask Ryan to show you where is website ranks and I GUARENTEE he is not on Google front page we are……so there is no way in the world he will put you back on Google once you Fall…………………</p></blockquote>
<p>If you&#8217;re doing business with a hosting or SEO company like this, stop it. You really deserve better. But even if you&#8217;re not working with a company this bad, and you&#8217;re just not satisfied with the level of results or competence you&#8217;re receiving, you should know there are better companies out there. Here at 3PRIME we combine results based strategies with fair pricing to make our clients more visible, profitable and successful. And above all, we treat everyone we do business with respectfully. You can see proof of that on our <a href="http://www.3-prime.com/company/our-better-business-bureau-profile/">Better Business Bureau Profile</a>. We get new business every week from referrals and from customers who&#8217;ve done searches in Google for keywords we rank well for, such as CT SEO.</p>
<p>The main problem with the internet for companies like DisgruntledHosts.com, is that there isn&#8217;t anywhere to hide, and it&#8217;s about time they learned that lesson.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.3-prime.com/contact/">Contact us</a> to hear about how we can help your business&#8211;or if you just want to find out the real company behind DisgruntledHosts.com.</p>
