SEO and Backlink Building Services

I have been taking the opportunity to speak with various industry people who have deep experience in enterprise SEO. The next in that series is Adam Audette of AudetteMedia. Adam is well known for his work with Internet megabrand Zappos, but has also worked with other large well known brands such as Michelin and the University of Phoenix.

One of the key points that emerges from the interview is that large enterprise organizations are vastly different in their approaches (and acceptance) of SEO. As a result, the challenges in each organization can be quite different. Check out the interview to learn more.

At SES Chicago in December of last year, I did a couple of video interviews. One of these was with Abby Prince of WebProNews on the subject of syndication and duplicate content, and the other was with Ralph Wilson of Web Marketing Today on the topic of link building. Check them out!

It amazes me when people obviously use scrapers to harvest email addresses and then blindly send out mass emails looking for business. Below is an email I received this morning, with my comments in ():

“Hope you are doing well. (I am glad that she is concerned for my well being)

Haven’t heard back from you, just wondering if you are interested in our services (if she had looked at any page at all on our web site she might be able to guess why we are NOT interested in your services). SEO is one of the most economical and targeted way of marketing (really? I didn’t know that).

As the markets are down and businesses are shy of making fresh investments, it is a good time to increase the efforts and get on top. Most people are holding their investments and it’s comparatively easier to get ranked on the search engines (hurray! my job just got easier!).

Get ranked before your competitor does.

Let me know if you are interested and we can discuss this further. We have some special offer on this New Year.

Kind Regards,” (kindly stop contacting me!)

In our business we spend a lot of time talking about the social web, and the need for businesses to better target their customers. Guess she has missed those discussions.

If you are looking to refinance the mortgage that you have currently it is worth carrying out some research beforehand. By going online you can quickly find out what levels today mortgage rates are being offered at. You may be surprised to find that you can be offered some really great deals which will result in your repayments being reduced. In this current economic situation certainly makes financial sense.

So why spend time looking at mortgage rates each day in order to refinance your home? Below we look at some of the advantages to doing this.

1. By looking at the mortgage rates being offered each day and then being approved for one may help you to save hundreds if not thousands of dollars each year in repayments. This is because you may be able to apply for a mortgage that comes with a rate that is much lower than what you currently have. Just going for today’s mortgage rate which is 2 points lower that your present one can end up reducing your monthly mortgage payments but a couple of hundred dollars.

2. You may find that the value of your home has increased which results in you having more equity in the property. This may then result in you being offered a mortgage where an additional sum is included that is the difference between what you currently owe and the market value of the property. This sum can then be used to pay off any other loans or credit cards you have which are charged at a considerably higher rate than your mortgage is again saving you money.

The Cheapest Domain Names – What Do You Really Get for .99?

There are several sites on the internet claiming to offer the cheapest domain names. If you look hard enough, you can find domain names for as low as .99 or .99 per year. So, what’s the catch?

You have to realize that not all domain names are created equally. And, not all domain registrars include the same services in the price of your domain name. A good .com domain name will cost around per year and should include at the very least,

free domain forwarding

free personalized email addresses & alias forwarding

free parking

full DNS access

free domain registration privacy

When you buy a cheap domain name for .99 you’re cutting out some of those services. Depending on your needs, that might be okay, but if you want to actually use your domain name for your website, make sure to read the fine print…

Here are some of the tricks that registrars use when they offer their “cheapest domain names” promotion. Even the big companies do it.

Bait and switch. GoDaddy offers domain names for as low as .99 but they’re for the .info domain name. Chances are you want a .com domain name which costs .99 per year.

The special discount price only applies to the first year. Yahoo recently sold .com domain names in March for .99 but the special price was only for the first year and for new customers. It would switch to .95 per year after the first year.

You only get the .99 domain name rate if you also buy a non-domain name product (Limit of 1 domain name). A non-domain name product usually means web hosting. Quite frankly, if you’re going to pay for web hosting, find a good registrar that will give you that domain name for absolutely free.

Two sites look awfully familiar. It’s probably because one of the sites is a domain name reseller. Some entrepreneur buys domain names at wholesale cost from the big companies and then resells them to regular people like you or I.

Make sure you do your homework before registering a domain name because you can’t get a refund. As always, buyer beware!
