Written by Smith and Wise HQ Sunday, 09 May 2010 17:14
Every so often we get asked complicated questions about search engine submission conditions and how search engines decide what to index, and what to not. We decided to compile a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) article on some of the most common questions and practical answers. Here are the answers you may have been looking for:
Hosting - Avoid The First Timer Pitfalls
Written by Smith and Wise HQ Wednesday, 10 March 2010 00:50
This week I was approached by a company that offered me hosting for an all in price of $10 a year. On the surface, their offer appeared to tick all the boxes. It offered the same bandwidth as my current supplier (which happens to be one of our two chosen client suppliers), twice the storage space and dedicated business hours support. Of course, nothing is ever that simple when it comes to a service. To help both our clients see the benefits of using our hosts, and also allow everything to avoid the potential pitfalls of hosting, that many hosting companies don't want you to know about, we have compiled our very own "Quick Start Guide" to the world of picking a hosting supplier.
Is Your IT and Online Security Foolproof
Written by Smith and Wise HQ Thursday, 11 February 2010 09:53
When you turn off the lights at night in your workplace, do you worry about your husiness being robbed? - If so, imagine it happening right before your eyes in broad daylight.
When you don't put proper steps in place to prevent data fraud, that is exactly what happens. What's worse is that it can happen in the middle of the day, without you knowing. Suddenly all your clients financial details, your secure files and even your employees confidential data, stored on your servers and computers could be in the public domain - and if you haven't tried your best to keep everything as secure as possible and things go wrong, you could be facing prosecution.
Organic Online Marketing Works Better
Written by Smith and Wise HQ Thursday, 11 February 2010 09:52
When it comes to Online Marketing, conducting organic search engine optimisation will always win over paying for listings.
Any online advertising company will argue that most people click the first results on a page, those often come from advertising on search results. The postion of these ads is normally above standard or "organic" results, those earnt by hard graft, and to the right. However recent research has show this to be incorrect. In actual fact, the majority of people (70%) are clicking on those organic search engine results. More clicks means more leads generated.
