Blogging and Social Networking
Social networking is an important part of the modern web and is generally referred to as Web 2. Whilst it may be easy to dismiss social networking as the sole domain of teenagers, this is to miss the greater picture - Social Networking will provide your website with not only an ultra modern look, but can also be the key to search engine optimisation.
Blogging is an excellent way to generate new content for your website and to attract readers who will come back again and again to read your blog. Even if there is little you think you have to say, there are always ways to use a blog to provide a rich source of new material and keywords that will feed the search engines and provide you with better placement within the like of Google and Yahoo.
Social Networks like twitter and facebook may also be utilised to provide your website with a steady stream of visitors, not least of which is again, the search engines, which will respond very favourably to any inbound links that are found
Blogger and Wordpress
Blogger is Googles own hosted blogs and is free to set up and use for yourself or your company. We can provide you with personalised templates that you can upload to blogger and link back to your own website, and thereby enable you to present a consistent look and feel for your brand.
Blogger integration is provided as standard with our Professional Packages, and as an Add-On for our other packages.
Wordpress may also be hosted, but more importantly you may host it on your own website and thereby portray a much more professional image than using a free blogging service. Since Word press can be self hosted, there are much better customisation possibilities available and it can be used as the basis for your entire website if you wish. Again, like with Blogger, we can provide the templates and design to promote your brand online.
Wordpress is included as standard in our Business Packages, and as an add-on for our other packages.
Twitter is a micro blogging service, which basically means it is like a blog whereby you write diary like updates, but these updates are limited to only 140 characters in length. The updates started out as a status update for individuals along the lines of answering the question of 'what are you doing right now?' but has since been generally expanded upon to be akin to a mix of commentaries and announcements - for the business user fo twitter, either of these cna be used to good effect.
We offer integration into Twitter such that updates to your website will be announced on Twitter and we can also setup and personalise Twitter to work better for you.
Facebook, and others like it, are the standard for social networking at the moment and they are not limited to just individuals, though the business use for facebook is more similar to Public Relations than to other forms of advertising. Facebook might not be suitable for all websites to look into, but for customers who are individuals, such as artists, authors, etc... then facebook can form an essential part of your internet campaigns.
We offer integration into Facebook such that updates to your website will be reflected on facebook.
