You never know where you meet a prospect!

Yesterday as I was buying food for our food pantry I met a man in the parking lot and we chatted. After a bit we realized we knew each other, I had called on him in the past. We chatted more and it turns out he might be interested in a phone application for one of is businesses. Bottom line, not everyone is a prospect but many could be:) Always ask and sometimes you shall receive:)

More to come.

This has started as a weird and strange year

I do not often post any political posts here but I must. Last Saturday I joined about ten thousand others at the woman's march or rally in KC and it stunned me and made me proud. Young, old, white, black, Hispanic, native americans and a lot of females with funny stocking caps on! What made me proud was democracy and our right to protest peacefully and I mean peacefully not a single arrest not a single problem. I saw the police lined up all suited up but they looked bored and wanting to go home and that was neat. I heard speakers and saw people that were old and disabled but they were there. I remember the 60's and LBJ and the riots, I remember Earth day the very first one! We were trying way back then to help our planet. What I am saying is that we must not forget that we have a right to be watch dogs and that we must always fight to keep our freedoms no matter what the cost.  OK I will say no more I am proud to be an american and always will be.  Until next time

Illegal Drone Transmitters Could Interfere with Air Traffic Control, ARRL Complaint Asserts

This has nothing to do with keywords or SEO but I am a ham radio operator and thought this might be of interest to us all!

ARLB003 Illegal Drone Transmitters Could Interfere with Air Traffic Control, ARRL Complaint Asserts

In what it calls an "extremely urgent complaint" to the FCC, ARRL has targeted the interference potential of a series of audio/video transmitters used on unmanned aircraft and marketed as Amateur Radio equipment. In a January 10 letter to the FCC Spectrum Enforcement Division, ARRL General Counsel Chris Imlay, W3KD, said the transmitters use frequencies intended for navigational aids, air traffic control radar, air route surveillance radars, and global positioning systems.

"This is, in ARRL's view, a potentially very serious interference problem, and it is respectfully requested that the products referenced... be investigated and removed from the marketplace immediately and that the importers be subjected to normal sanctions," ARRL's letter said. Some of the transmitters operate on frequencies between 1010 and 1280 MHz. "These video transmitters are being marketed ostensibly as Amateur Radio equipment," the League said, "but of the listed frequencies on which the devices operate, only one, 1280 MHz, would be within the Amateur Radio allocation at 1240-1300 MHz." Even then, ARRL said, operation there would conflict with a channel used for radio location.

ARRL said the use of 1040 and 1080 MHz, which would directly conflict with air traffic control transponder frequencies, represented the greatest threat to the safety of flight. The use of 1010 MHz, employed for aeronautical guidance, could also be problematic.

ARRL cited the Lawmate transmitter and companion 6 W amplifier as examples of problematic devices being marketed in the US. Each costs less than $100 via the Internet. The device carries no FCC identification number.

"[T]he target market for these devices is the drone hobbyist, not licensed radio amateurs. The device, due to the channel configuration, has no valid Amateur Radio application," ARRL told the FCC. "While these transmitters are marked as appropriate for amateur use, they cannot be used legally for Amateur Radio communications." In the hands of unlicensed individuals, the transmitters could also cause interference to Amateur Radio communication in the 1.2 GHz band, ARRL contended.

The League said it's obvious that the devices at issue lack proper FCC equipment authorization under FCC Part 15 rules, which require such low-power intentional radiators to be certified.

"Of most concern is the capability of the devices to cripple the operation of the [air traffic control] secondary target/transponder systems," ARRL said. "These illegal transmitters represent a significant hazard to public safety in general and the safety of flight specifically."

The Truth is?

Do you regularly talk to your web person?
Do you talk to your SEO specialist?

Most people do not communicate with their web person and in fact many as soon as the web site is done so are they!  It is important that you stay in touch with your web person or SEO person because things on the net change so fast and frankly I see more changes to come and the only way you can stay on top of them is to rely on the people who keep up for a living. You should work on your business and you sholud let your web company help you stay current.

More to come.

What can you do to make your website viable and up to date

You ask how can I get rankings? You ask how can I make sure my web site is updated? You wonder if that web person you hired a year ago to write it or even longer is still in business. Bottom line is you have to keep working on your website. You must update frequently. Have an SEO person check you out for bad links or bad code. Make sure your website is a responsive design website the kind Google likes! All of this takes time and many people just do not care that it will take your time until you bill them! If you make little adjustments constantly then that big bill is a lot of small bills that do not seem to hurt as bad.

2017 is here and here is a fact or two to consider!

Having a mobile website is no longer an option. It is a necessity. In this article, we'll show you how to prepare your website for this.
A mobile website is a must-have in 2017
Even if you have a mobile-ready website, it is important to check the usability on mobile devices. The fact that your website can be displayed on mobile devices doesn't mean that your site is also easy to use.
You will get more page views with a mobile-friendly website. If your website is not mobile-friendly, people are more likely to leave your site. In addition, people are likely to leave your site if it does not load fast enough.

Google's mobile-first index
Until now, Google ranked web pages based on the desktop version of the site. This is going to change. Google announced that they are working on a mobile-first index that is going to rank pages based on the mobile versions.

\If you want to keep up in the search engines, please consider an upgrade to your older website. We at Rossini.com can help you!


More to come on this critical matter that you should look at now!
