new year news

Five and twenty (blackbirds)

... 2010 sees us entering our twentieth year and fifteen of those in the wide world of the web! I am happy to say there are more than a few of our clients who have been with us for a great deal of that time and would like to take this opportunity to personally thank them and indeed all our clientele even those who have arrived in the last few weeks!

Way out west!

The new year started out west as many of you gathered, but despite the sun and palm trees in the deserts of USA work never stops! It was certainly preferable to being snowed in though. January saw quite a few new websites launched. More new projects are underway which will be appearing, blossoming even, very shortly as spring approaches.

Twittering can help ...

More clients have taken up twittering, helping their listings improve in the world of Google and alike. There's an element of DIY in respect of clients being able to help themselves and of course their websites with regard to SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) in the form of Twitter.

It's fairly important to set up an account and have mutual links to and from your website. Do contact us to see how and why to use this to help your website. Liaise with us and we can get things all interlinked and working at an optimum.

Some clients have also decided to display on this badge on their website, to show they're doing their bit for the environment. If you should like this displayed on your website let us know.

NEWSLETTERS

BalletBoyz have made good use of email newsletters to announce new tours and TV dates, while Green's Restaurants continue to drive traffic to the site with exciting events offers. More clients are looking at this effective method increasing their audience.

The newsletters use an online tracking system, enabling the client to monitor how many are read and all the click throughs to links from the newsletter, a very powerful marketing tool.
