Guest post from Rambo Writes about content

When you create a website for your business or organization, you open a window to the world.  Potential customers can visit your site to find out information such as where you’re located, what types of products or services you offer, hours of operation and testimonials from satisfied customers.

Having a website does not ensure potential customers will beat a path to your door, however.  A website is simply how you make your first impression.  In business and in life, you only get one chance to make a first impression.  If someone comes to your site and finds poorly written content, bad grammar or misspelled words, you’re not going to make the kind of first impression that brings them back for a second look and you may miss a great opportunity.

Your website is a reflection of you and your business.  In today’s competitive marketplace, you can’t afford to make a poor first impression.  That’s why need someone who writes professionally to create your website content for you.  You know your industry, but a professional writer knows how to bring out your best by providing interesting, grammatically sound, error free content that will help you get an opportunity to earn a potential customer’s business.

I have known and collaborated with Joe and Brenda Rossini for over 30 years and there’s nobody better when it comes to website development and search engine optimization.  Add well-written content and you have the recipe for a professional and effective communication tool that can help your business grow and prosper.

A guest blog writer talking about video

r2 llc Video Services

Business owners pour their talent, time and energy, not to mention their hard-earned cash, into building a one-of-a-kind business—only to find out the real work is just beginning. Now, they are faced with the age-old question of "If I build it, will they come?" Often times, business owners find the answer is a lukewarm "maybe."

That's where video can make a major impact. Websites with video increase their search engine optimization results and their visitors stay longer than they do on sites with no video.

Tim Anderson of r2 llc helps small businesses tell their stories using professional Website video. The process is simple and highly affordable. Most significantly, adding video to your Website sets you apart from your competition, and it allows you to connect with your customers on a personal, face-to-face basis.

Online marketing experts are calling 2013 "The Year of The Video."  Give Tim a call for a free consultation about putting the power of video to work for you this year.

Looking at responsive designs

I have spent several hours researching the new buzz word responsive design. What it is  essentially is a new programming option that allows for the different devices to automatically size to the screen and pick up the code that requests it. Ok I am not a programming geek but that is it in its simplest terms.

Why should you have it? Well the industry is moving that way fast. The newer and younger and quickly becoming more affluent are all or many are using tablets and hand held gizmos.  It is to your benefit to have it and guess what?  We create those type of designs. An example of one of those designs is http://www.marketyourbusinessnow.com. If yu have a tablet or an Iphone try it.  You will see it plays on all three platforms...YEA!  Oh by the way that web site is also me!! I can help you get leads.

Well this was a quicky, more later.

The right keyword

From Axandr

High volume keywords usually aren't the best keywords

If a keyword is so competitive that your website won't get on the first result page then this keyword won't work for you. If you cannot make it on page one then it doesn't make sense to use that keyword.
In addition, keywords with a high search volume are often very general keywords that do not drive targeted visitors to your site.
A targeted keyword with a low search volume will deliver more sales to your website. If you want great results, don't waste your time on high volume keywords that will deliver worthless traffic to your site. Focus on long-tail keywords that are much more likely to convert.

I can find the best keywords for you!

Finding leads takes patience

When I started www.marketyourbusinessnow.com I knew it would be a constant work in progress. I am always adding, working on upgrading and trying to offer the correct solution for my customers.  What is unfortunately seems to be a constant effect of this site is that my customers are very very  quick on the draw.  What that means everyone wants immediate results and frankly unless you really pay alot upfront it is virtually impossible to bring those results that fast.  What I want to say is and perhaps it is me I must stress that Rome was not built overnight it took time. What I usually can do quite fast is get your company name up high in the search engines. I can increase viability fast but leads take a bit longer. What needs to be done to succeed:

• You must listen to my suggestions on the internals of the web site in other words if I say you need certain new keywords...add them
• I really do want a company that understands that they are just as important to success as I am so please participate 
• Be willing to allow for 90 to 120 days for success to begin and it will begin

There is much more but remember a lot of things ar einvelved, the web page, your work and understanding and my work.  I can bring you what you want with time.

Until next time

A tip about Java and your web page

This tip is from Manta but it is becomming more and more important:

Search engines often have a very difficult time understanding websites which use Flash or Javascript to display content. Either move your important content into regular text or make a text browser friendly version to help with accessibility. Doing so will maximize the visibility of your content in search results.

Also Java has become more and more under hacker attack and we recommend caution if using it.

More soon
