The death of the magazine?

I often hear people talking about the virtues of online this and cyberspace that, social networking and web mags.  In the 20+ years of working in the creative industry and watching as new technology emerges in it’s various and clunky forms, from dial up (one page on the whole web), walled gardens, peer to peer local forums, IRC chat facilities, social networking, phone apps to name but a few.  Throughout all this exciting growth the words “this will be the death of the press” have always resonated, in part at the time I agreed, but there was always something missing.

In time I understood what was missing, it’s the tangible asset factor.  What was missing from cyber tech was the need we have to hold something that Continue reading

Keep your website up to date

Customers talk to me about getting to the top of Google – my reply is for what search string, what words are your customers using and what are they looking for?

Some customers will say I want to be the top for my business name, or for ‘x y z’ search string.  The truth is getting to the top of Google isn’t difficult, if you have the right content for what your customers are looking for and you are not sitting in a market place that is saturated by the competition.

The plain and simple truth is keep your website up to date, use the blog and news facility built in to every WN6 website and your content will find its natural ranking on Google and your customers will find you.  Live your business online!  Talk about what you are doing week to week or day to day, the natural vocabulary of your blog posts will build up a certain keyword density that will naturally rank you accordingly.  Plus by updating your site regularly Google search spiders will understand that you are passionate about your business and almost certainly are providing the most relevant and up to date information.  Remember Google is firstly in the business of providing people with the most relevant and up to date search results on the web – thats its job.

An example of who this concept works is the case of a local business who was holding a Bonfire Event.  Continue reading
