  • Google Ranking Factors
    Internet Marketing Companies and, more specifically, Search Engine Marketing Companies focus their attention on Google when it comes to achieving high organic rankings.

  • Why You Need Inbound and Outbound Links On Your Website
    A website is like a train station, it has visitors that come and go through it to get around on the Internet.

  • Innovation – Why the Dinosaurs Need the Pirates
    Recently I read an interview on Larry Page; co-founder of Google, and most of his answers were simply brilliant.

    He speaks a lot about Innovation and the why there needs to be more risk taking behavior in technology. Risk taking was what leaded to all the great inventions of the last century and it is needed to drive us into the future. Here are two examples of innovation which were brought on by non-traditional means that have changed the way we view the world;
  • How to Keep Your Customers Coming Back
    If your website has a goal, that is, sales made through an online ecommerce site, lead generation, phone calls, surveys that are completed, then you probably have put some significant effort in time and expense towards winning that client … and it all started with a conversion.

    If you have been in business for any length of time, you should probably already know what a big percentage of NEW sales actually come from EXISTING customers. If you are doing a good job, this is most certainly the case. This should make sense; customer buys product or uses your service and you have provided the value, and hopefully more, than the client expected. Important customer- relationship dynamics take hold … trust, confidence, peace of mind and convenience all grow in your favor.
  • Google – SEO Strategic Partner or Competitor
    Since Google announced its acquisition of DoubleClick, there has been a great deal of angst from SEO Firms and SEO professionals alike. The reason: An SEO Company named Performics was included in the purchase as a part of DoubleClick’s business. SEO companies were concerned that the giant of the industry, Google, would now have a vehicle to unfairly compete with all Internet Marketing Companies by providing “access” to information that is not currently made available to SEO Firms in delivering their Internet Marketing Services to their clients. In addition, there have been many concerns expressed about the cost and price in fear that Google might package, discount or even give away high organic search rankings in special arrangements also not available to competing Search Engine Marketing Companies.

  • SEO Prices – Realities and Myths
    Search Engine Optimization (SEO), the service, and SEO, what you actually get, unfortunately are all too often mutually exclusive to each other.

    Nothing tastes better when the weather starts to warm than a piece of delicious chocolate from Choconet. The feeling that chocolate evokes is something few other foods can duplicate.

  • Why I obsess over Web Standards
    I was recently reading an article on how Microsoft dropped the ball on developers and why several of them started to switch over to MAC OS X. Then I realized that the problem with Microsoft is that it represents the global large corporate mentality, mediocrity and lack of innovations. This is why Google is #1 and this is why no matter how much money a large company throws at the small competition, they can’t keep up.
  • Optimum7 Introduces SEO Copywriting Services
    Optimum7 is pleased to announce the addition of SEO Copywriting Services for its clients.

  • Why Put Your Logo in Chocolate
    In this day and age everyone wants their product or service to stand out amongst the competition. Logo-branding an edible promotional product is one of the many ways to accomplish this. Companies have their names personalized onto practically everything from pens and tee shirts to mugs. Clients and prospects will often collect many of the giveaways at a specific event and then dump them into a drawer, never to be seen again.

    Why not try using delicious personalized chocolate for your next marketing campaign, or event. At your next trade show or corporate function, try handing out personalized Belgian Chocolate coins or foil wrapped chocolate squares with your logo and website printed on the wrapper. If you go cold calling door to door, our customized chocolate business card in a flip top box with your printed card attached, makes for a great conversation piece and gets you in the door when a conventional business card gets filed in the circular file under the receptionist’s desk.

  • How to Keep Marketing Costs Low During an Economic Downturn?
    It is not a secret anymore; nor a gossip. We may not be technically in a recession yet (2 straight quarters of GDP negative growth) but we are certainly experiencing recessionary conditions and psychology. How can we not with the constant drum beat of negative news played over and over again in the media. We are on the edge of recession in the US and everybody feels it.

  • Special Scales in Difficult Industrial Environmental Conditions
    There are special industrial environments which make it very difficult to use standard scales to weigh tanks, drums, chemicals and other items. These environments often have aggressive acids or caustics which would quickly destroy a standard industrial scale.

Knocking on doors and trying to get past the receptionist to see the person who makes the buying decisions is almost impossible. The receptionist is instructed not to allow you to see the buyer without an appointment, and to never give out the name or direct telephone number of the individual who makes the buying decisions. This is where you need to be a little creative to get the name and valuable appointment to make your presentation.
  • Content is King, Traffic is Supreme
    "What should I put on my website?" That is the question I receive mostly from newcomers. The answer is very simple, content. You have to give your visitors and prospects a reason to go to your website, and keep going to your website.

    The Content Thou Art King

    The website's information; text, images, videos, audio, and other data are the content elements you provide. The flavor of the content should be unique, and entice the visitors to get involved in your website. The style of your writing, content will portray a personality in itself and provide flavor to your website.

  • Quality Score – in the Google Algorithm
    While organic listings are based on relevancy alone, as evaluated and rated by Google’s algorithms, paid search, more specifically, paid search listings also are controlled by relevancy. This may seem counterintuitive when thinking of Paid Search. Paid Search by definition involves a bidding process specific to keywords and basic logic would indicate that the highest bidder would get the highest positions within the Paid Search Listings. However, Relevancy is the most important factor for Google, even as it applies to Paid Search. Google invests billions to make their results more relevant and this extends to its major profit contributor, paid ads.

  • Office Cubicles - It Started Back In The Sixties
    Office Cubicles; It started back in the sixties. For decades, before the birth of the office cubicle, offices had been designed around the hierarchy of “boss vs subordinate”. A typical commercial floor plan showed rows and rows of desks surrounded by a series of small, private offices. Support workers were visible and vulnerable to distraction. There work area was devoid of personalization and ignorant of personal work style.
  • Web Development and Search Engines
    In the 90’s, when the first websites started to pop up on the web, nobody would have thought that things would get so complicated for the web development industry. Building was pretty easy and self explanatory then. Anybody who knew html and how to use frontpage could build and upload a website. I remember building my first website on geocities and I was so excited when I saw it indexed in Yahoo and Altavista in 1994. We did not have the big Google then.
  • Office Cubicle Systems Offered By Office Furniture Manufacturer
    Office Cubicle Systems; In 1968, Robert Propst broke ground in office furniture design, with his path breaking office cubicle. It was a revolutionary invention, ahead of his time.
