    Web Hosting

    If you still manage to get access make a backup of all the files and database. As for the transfer, if you find a new hosting you can contact their support and they usually do the transfer for you, that's how I do it.

    Guide Download from website

    Thank you so much for bringing up this point. And, I've said this till I'm blue in the face. The chances of getting someone to buy on that first visit are so very slim. So many people talk about traffic generation and SEO and are still relying on that one time/one off traffic from Google...

    Patio Heaters or Christmas lights?

    For an enclosed area, a heater is always a good idea and never a waste of money for electricity usage and no more of an environmental hazard than anything else. But, for heating an open area (such as under the stars), it seems to be a waste of money, though maybe they are effective. I have...

    Guide Download from website

    You might call this a 'lead capture' page, which is basically the same as email subscription form. Some people would say squeeze page, though it could depend on what region you're from. The results are the same though as you're just trying to obtain the prospect's email address and name so you...

    Should I conduct SEO for my landing page instead of my website?

    If you've already tried SEO with little success, then you might want to focus on the social networking angle. Or, even contact your potential customers directly via mail campaigns. There's more than one way to reach the people you need to deal with to have them come to your site. Relying on...

    Email Marketing

    Are you trying to remember the name of the email company? If so, maybe there is someone who has dealings with this company too, that is on your contact list. For instance, maybe someone on Facebook was using the same email company. And yes, I know how frustrating it can be to try to remember...

    TV shows you are ashamed to say you watch

    Recently, I finished watching all seasons of Dexter, a show about a serial killer/vigilante/cop (forensics expert) who stalks bad guys at night. It was a guilty pleasure. Most seasons, the show didn't really take off until maybe the fifth episode of the season. Until the, it just kind of...

    What did you want to do?

    As a child, I liked taking computers apart and putting them back together. So from the start, I was interested in computers and later on that got me into coding and software creation.

    Wikipedia to charge?

    Every year, I see that 'please donate' banner at the top of the Wiki site. I guess they weren't able to convince enough people to pay for what had before been free. So, I'm not sure if anyone would pay now if it's required. But, this just shows the state of the internet and how people just...

    Door to door sales will it work?

    Door to door marketing might work in some communities and fall flat in others. This will just depend on the neighborhoods you are targeting. One thing you might do to 'soften up' a potential customer would be to conduct a postcard mailing campaign to a neighborhood ahead of time that allows...

    How Will You Be Better In The New Year?

    Perhaps others have stressed this point too, but you really need to be focusing on your email marketing aspect. The B2B emails are very important for marketing your business. You will want to have others sign up for your mailing list, but whenever possible (and where legally allowed), you...

    Advice please on creating a website for a small dog training business

    For a local business, a Facebook page could be a really good thing. So long as you give full contact info such as email address, local phone number, etc where you can be reached, the potential customer can call up for more information, even if they never make it past Facebook. After that, the...

    Cheap and Effective SEO?

    Good old fashioned networking! You have to get out there on LinkedIn and Google+ and talk to other bloggers who are in a similar industry or niche (though ideally someone who is not direct competition) and establish a connection. You can get these people's attention by initially linking to...

    Why Copyblogger gave up on Facebook.

    It was interesting to see how they had those fake fans too, though no one on the Copyblogger team seemed to know how they got those fans. I was very interested to find out how to block fans from specific countries, that could be useful in ensuring those fake fans never like a page.

    SEO - Good examples?

    I wouldn't say they are a shining example of proper SEO, but Wikipedia must be doing something right as they rank highly (if not first spot) for every keyword imaginable. Just Google any company name or any subject and you are likely to come up with a Wiki entry right there at the top. Maybe...
