Lost and Found? Where are you?

Where does your website reside in Google, Yahoo and Bing’s vast databases?  When people search for your services or products, are you one of the lucky few that show up on the first few pages of the search engines?

When people go to the web to find services or products, more so than not – they will only look at the first few pages and contact one or two of the companies they find in those first few pages. So…if you are not on the first few pages in a search, you are considered lost – you may never be found. Continue reading →

Nip & Tuck

Several days ago, I attended a “girlie glam party” with a couple of my friends. It had been years since the last time I allowed myself to just let go, and let someone else be the creator of my image.  I went to this thing, not because I thought I needed a makeover but I did it because a friend’s daughter was in town, and needed subjects to practice on.

Web Hosting — Too Many Choices!

 

When you decide to go into business you have to pay your State money for the use of your business name. However; just because you paid fees for your business name,  doesn’t mean that the state gives you an office  building to conduct your business from.  Right?  Same thing goes on the internet.

Most of you already know what a Domain name or URL is, (for those of you that don’t, this is your name on the internet. www.YOURNAME.com). As above, just because you purchased a domain name, does not mean you automatically have hosting for your website. You must purchase both.

If you do a search on web hosting companies, you will be bombarded with so many choices!  How do you know which is a good host, and which is a bad host? How does one choose?

Start Conversating…

Is that a typo? Start doing what?

I’ll say it again.  Start conversating! I know, sound’s like I’m being silly or trying to be cute! BUT, for those of you that know me, know that I use that phrase quite frequently. We all know there’s no such word as “conversating”, but the meaning behind what I’m saying IS serious business.

Using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other forms of Social Media, the idea is to build relationships. The only way to do that is to engage in conversations with others. One sided conversations don’t work too well.

Can a cluttered website hurt your business? You betcha it can!

Is E-Learning the Way of the Future?

 

We have been researching different ways to train/teach business owners and individuals to build their own effective websites. We ran across some pretty interesting, and exciting information!

According to USDLA (United States Distant Learning Association), E-Learning is used in many areas — from Preschool all the way through high school, home schooling, continuing education, corporate training, military and government training and telemedicine. Their research also found that e-learning generates a positive attitude and that the e-learning classroom has similar effectiveness results as the traditional classroom instruction.

Copyright — Are You in Compliance?

One of the top questions we’ve been asked over the years is “Is the content on my website copyrighted?”. The answer to this is, yes, there are some things in your website that will fall under the copyright protection laws. However; before accusing someone of copyright infringement violations — consult an attorney.

There’s nothing worse than spending a lot of time writing the content for your website and then finding that someone else just took it for granted that they could copy and paste what you wrote, on their site. Where some people would look at it as “WOW! I must have done a great job – so much so, that someone wanted to use it!” I look at it as just being downright unethical, unprofessional and an irresponsible act.
