Valitics. Web Strategies, Net Results

Being a dentist, I am one link between Valitics and real world applications.  Reciprocal links occur when one website links to another and vice versa.  The goal of any external link is to send search engine bots (How search engines retrieve data) to your site.  This is often called "link juice."  The more link juice going to your site the better chance you have of ranking well. 

If you are a business owner, maybe you don't think you have time to participate in social media marketing.  The good news is you don't have to Tweet the longitude and latitude of your exact whereabouts every 10 minutes to participate.  In fact the key to a good social media presence is relevance.  Tell people something they want to hear and they will listen.  Keep in mind that may be something useful and insightful on Twitter or it may just be who you are, what you do and what makes you unique.  Here are some good stating ideas you should consider for participating in "bare bones" social media. 

When businesses and organizations search for a website design company, they are looking for the performance to cost ratio.  It really boils down to the return on investment.  If the site has high traffic or has the potential for high traffic, then a website that costs a lot to develop but fulfills every specification the owner wants provides good ROI.  In small to medium-sized businesses, there is usually a budget cap and also a limit on the ROI with increased development costs.  This is especially true in local and regional markets. 

I consider myself a web design junkie of sorts. I'm not into the snobby "design is art and I am an artist!" aspect of it so much, but rather the capabilities and trends that are constantly emerging, evolving and eventually becoming stale and lame. It really fascinates me actually. There are few things I'd rather do than surf web design blogs and resources for cool new creations people have come up with. Yes, that includes weekend nights. 

Given the economic times (I think every other sentence I hear on the news starts this way), businesses are searching for the most cost effective alternatives out there.  And rightly so!  But one thing I have found is that the cheapest alternative is not necessarily the one that will save you the most money.
