Growing Business – The Power of Community

Well it’s taken nearly two years, but laying the right foundation, in a slow, methodical way does pay off. Business building class by business class, network meeting by face to face meeting, by one on ones, and project by project, efforts have netted me 8 new clients within the last 30 days with 3 more in the wings.

I’d love to make several honorable mentions of those who’ve been both instrumental and/or inspirational, but would likely inadvertently leave someone out, and unwittingly cause an offense. Let me just say, Pat Howlett and the Inside919 community have most instrumental in my overall recent success. You all have my heartfelt thanks.

Raleigh, Cary & Durham Businesses I’m honored to serve locally include:

The Marketing Machine – branding, graphics & web design

Secur-Tek Security & Smart Home Technology

Tapco, Inc. Crane and Rigging serving all of NC

Blueridge OB/GYN of Raleigh

Extreme Express Logistics serving all of NC

Cary Dentist, Mark Andrews, DDS

Raleigh / Cary Sleep Center – Parkway Sleep

Raleigh Home Foreclosures – Referral Realty

and more…

Though I’ve other clients that are not local, I’m honored to be serving local businesses in building our community. I ran across an excellent blog post on the topic, How to Build Community with Your Business.

How about you, what random acts of kindness are you giving in support of our community, and local businesses in your neighborhoods? The gift of giving seems to always find a way of coming back to you.

Anyway, it’s a wonderful way to end the year. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, as well as Happy Chanukka, Kwansa, etc. Love to all!

6 Reasons to Have Web & Blog Site WordPress Security

Computer Virus


“After all, just one virus on a computer is one too many.”

Our company, SEO for High Ranking, your SEO / Search Engine Marketing headquarters, builds traffic to client websites for continuous business growth. Optimization starts with a well-structured, dynamic website that employs what is known as a content management system, or CMS. Interestingly, in recent months, many small businesses have turned to WordPress, a powerful CMS based web tool. Because it creates blogs and websites in a very straight-forward fashion, and is very easily indexed by Google, it is growing in popularity.

But there are side effects your business might not be aware of as you create your social media strategy. Unfortunately, criminal elements are in everything you do. Any business can type a keyword, including your business, into the search engine; when the intended site pops up, it can quickly be redirected to graphic and lurid images and sites.

Although you can shut down the site, panic can indeed set in. These websites can be hacked in a devious ways. Script can be injected creating mass redirection.

These types of horrific client experiences have created a new mission for our company.

We have learned that vulnerabilities are not always with the server (computers where websites reside). Rather, malicious software is introduced through the inherent weaknesses with WordPress itself.

Here are the facts:these websites, when set up, have up to two dozen areas that can easily be exploited by malware programs and by experienced and knowledgeable hackers. Most developers simply are not aware of these flaws and think plugins will manage and minimize the issues. That is not the case.

Google can and does take these sites down when they involve inappropriate activity.

A hacked site impacts:

  1. Web visibility
  2. Business traffic
  3. Business reputation
  4. Productivity
  5. Time and repair cost
  6. Critical revenue

This latest service we offer is featured on WordPress Security Shieldwhich explains our mission and core values that involve client protection.

Please comment below; we are looking for your feedback to help make improvements. What issues have you had? The more examples the better so we can make the critical adjustments to virtually eliminatethese problems.

Internet Marketing Tips That Get Big Results!

Internet Marketing

Want More Traffic & Revenue?

Do you enjoy internet marketing? If you do, then great! Even if you don’t, you’ve happened onto an article that can reaffirm your internet marketing knowledge and may even improve your marketing plan. Incorporating the knowledge of this article into your marketing can help you to come out on top, online.

Drive with purpose will go a long way. Start with a schedule for when to send out your emails and make sure you stick to it. If you plan on sending out an email every Friday, make sure you send out an email every Friday. You want your readers to know when the email is going to come and give them something to look forward to.

Be Compelling

To keep your website looking different every time people visit it, make sure you rotate and update the ads on it. Use a tracking tool to see which ads get the most clicks. Remove ads that do not seem to work and try introducing new ones based on the ones that generate the most traffic.

When you advertise your product, use the word ‘fast’. You can use this in different ways such as, ‘fast shipping’, ‘fast ordering’, ‘fast service’ or tell them your product works fast. Customers value their time, and by doing this you show them you value their time.

A great incentive to increase your internet marketing and internet exposure is to give away an electronic freebie with your advertisement in it or on it. You should allow anyone to who gets it to give it away and share it freely. This will attract others to your website and increase your exposure.

Ask Your Clients

Let your customers help set the price for your products when they are products that you’ve been holding onto for some time because they are not selling. Don’t be afraid to entertain reasonable offers via your email or web form. You might even want to accept offers of barter for their products or services.

Barter Could Be A Solution

Look into bartering for solutions to your internet marketing needs. Many small businesses offer their services based off of bartering for goods and ad space. This is a great way to move your business forward even when your financial budget is tight. Plus, you may find that a barter relationship turns into something more financially rewarding!

To Make Your Local Business Flourish, Excel In SEO

Your Local Business Can Flourish on the Web


If you are an experienced local business, your most likely already of how important search engine ranking is. Websites that are ranked on top tend to be more successful businesses. The following commentary will give you a variety of suggestions on how to get your website ranked better so you can reach your target audience more easily.





SEO For High Ranking Video Ad

To start, educate yourself about optimizing sites for Google, Yahoo & Bing. SEO results are not determined by humans, but by computers. Search engine spiders are used to analyze websites and recognize signs of relevance. You can take advantage of this system by optimizing your website. If you wish to please the search engine crawlers, think about creating a new webpage, or blog post, and make them keyword rich. Also pepper them with links to related authoritative sites.

Improving your search engine ranking takes time. You need to put some effort into looking into ways on how to achieve good search engine optimization. This could include improving the design and coding for your site. Use your chosen keywords liberally throughout your site with a focus on including them in titles and headings.

TIP! One thing you should keep in mind about search engine optimization is to always work on it on a daily basis. SEO is always changing on a constant basis.

 

Shortcuts To SEO Can Get You De-Listed



There are no shortcuts, you cannot purchase search rankings. These rankings must be built over time through your optimization efforts. You can buy featured spots for a link though. A featured link is typically listed within the top three results on a search results page; these links are usually highlighted as “featured” or “sponsored.” Unfortunately, obtaining sponsored links can be very expensive and most likely out reach for most micro business owners.

Remember, incorporating keywords is not the only way to search engine optimize your website. External links pointing to your site are a huge boost to your site. All links have a benefit; links to other pages, pages linking to yours and links in between all your personal pages. To get off-site links, swapping is not recommended. Google views that as gaming their algorithm, and you’ll get dinged.

TIP! Treating your SEO efforts like homework is a great way to achieve in the highly competitive field of web business. This means you should be approaching the trafficking of your site like the completion of a term paper.



It is always important to pinpoint a new customer’s interest whenever they visit your site. The occasional random site visitor is not likely to actually make a purchase. Target people who already have an interest in buying your product or service before they get to your site. One way to get your message in front of prospective customers is to place advertisements on sites they already visit.

An Online Sales Force Will Help Your Business



Every business should have an online presence. You must have a successful Internet site if your company is dependent upon Internet clients and sales. Hopefully this article will help you get a handle on the finer art of search engine optimization.
