Hello All!
Here is our first ever Cal Coast Web Design newsletter.
I’m naming it Cal Coaster, because its going to quickly update you with a whirlwind of info.
Also, sometimes I feel like I am on a roller coaster trying to stay on top of the search engine and web design world! Cal Coaster is ALWAYS going to give you info, a tip, a shortcut, or an update. I”m designing the newsletter so that each month you can invest 5 minutes of your time to stay abreast of what is going on in your website”s world.
On to the news!
Blog smog
According to Wayne Hurlbert of Blog Business World, ” Blogs are much more than online journals. Blogs mean business. They also appear very highly placed on search engine results, and came through the Google “Florida” update with flying colors. Many blogs are sporting some very strong Google PageRanks as a result…
Your article topics could include industry news, product information from a consumer standpoint, various “how-to”s” of using your products and selecting vendors, and regular updates about what is happening around your company. Linking to industry-related news stories is another way to add additional content.
As you write new blog entries, people will feel they know you, and your business, on a more personal level. No longer just a faceless business entity, your business blog enables you to place a human face on the company.”
Cal Coast has created a blog for each one of the websites we optimize. Look for its implementation on your website soon! In the meantime – start blogging! Here”s how:
- Download the google toolbar if you don”t already have it: http://toolbar.google.com/
- Go to http://blog.YOURDOMAINAME.com or www.YOURDOMAINAME.com/blog/ (if one doesn”t work the other willJ
- On your google toolbar there will be an orange B – click it
- The blog window opens, sign in if you are a user, if not become one (2 minutes and NO they will not spam you)C
