Got a Web site? Come on, ‘fess up. No? OK, assuming you’ve got a spare five minutes, we’re going to build your first super-easy, super-fast Web page. Look on this page as a combination calling card and portfolio. It’s not going to make you rich. However, it will make communication with prospective clients and current clients super-quick, and get you listed on Google.com so that you gain credibility.
Getting Listed: a Search Engine Jump Start
I need help getting my web page on the search engines. I have a Condo at Port Aransas,Texas. It is a two bedroom with a fully furnished kitchen overlooking the ocean. There is a Gambling Ship that has its home port there and of course fishing, surfing and boating.
The Four Pieces to the Search Optimization Puzzle
Hi Dan,
The clients I have now came primarily by word of mouth, although three did find me on the web — through Microsoft Front Page. If you type in “spideree” in Google search, I’m in the first 8 listings, but I’m not even in the first 10 pages when you type in “web design” + “New Jersey.”
WebSite Marketing for Artists
I do have a “dental-floss” budget idea or two, but they might be geared more towards artist types than tech types. 🙂
1- Hobby Lobby stores often have classroom space for little to no cost. Take one night a week to teach a creative class of some kind there. Incorporate some of the classwork into special pages of the website for students to do during the week, which will not only increase your traffic, but it can also give your site a more “legitimate/professional” edge. This costs you little to nothing, and in some cases, you can charge for the classes you teach. (Wow! getting paid to advertise your site! 🙂 )
Inline XML
I was sitting at my desk a few days ago, whiling away the time and I suddenly wondered why HTML includes a < code > tag, and a < var > tag, and yet it takes marking up code no further than that. It’d be understandable to have just the < code > tag, but if they’re going to have a < var > tag, shouldn’t they have more programming tags?
Tax Questions Answered: eBusiness Deductions
Hi Wayne,
I’ve had 3 CPAs all give me different answers, and a forth one flatly refuses to believe that any internet business is a “real” business; she’s strictly ‘Brick-n-mortar’.
I sadly found this out ‘after’ she did my taxes, and cost me thousands in deductions.
