Marketing Your Site

What's New ?

Basic Outline for Quality Website Content

Focus on the Subject Matter

Stick to information that visitors may find interesting. Don't try to satisfy every visitor on one page. Each page of your site should focus on one area of your business. Think of your website like a novel. Each page should develop a character (product or service) so visitors understand specifically what you offer.

Get Inside Your Visitors Head

Figure out what visitors to your site are looking for and give it to them. If metal widgets are what most people come to your site for, then metal widgets should be on your home page. I know you want to move that crate of plastic widgets but that will have to be the focus of another page on your site.

Be Specific and Provide Details

Don't generalize, provide details that may be important to your visitor up front. Try, "Our Metal Widgets can be used for bla, bla, bla". Instead of, "Our products our some of the best in the industry". Be specific and explain how your products can provide solutions to visitors problems.

Use Benefits and Features on Your Home Page

If you don't they may not look any farther. Get their attention on the first page of the site and many visitors will look further and buy more.

Update Your Content Often

Set up a schedule and update your content so it is always current. Out of date content will drive visitors away and they may not come back.

   September 1st Meteor Shower?

This isn't actually new, the debris from the Comet Kiess has visited us before. Earth has had at least three encounters with the debris stream in the past century—in 1935, 1986, and 1994. But apparently very few people were watching. People on the west coast have the best possibility of seeing the meteor shower. Find out more at the link below.

Top Ten Things Not to Say at a Job Interview

1. Oh, my criminal record? Well...if it helps, I didn't pull the trigger.

3. Are you busy later? I know a great little Italian place.
4. Wait, you wanted someone with at least a high school diploma? Never mind.
5. References? That may be a problem due to those stupid restraining orders.
6. Aren't you Rachel's dad? Man, she's one wild and crazy Chica!
7. Do you mind if I light up?
8. Where do I see myself a year from now? Sitting in your chair, actually.
