SEO

(Search Engine Optimisation)
Statistics show us that more than 80% of traffic from search engines comes from organic results. Basically, unless you are on the first page of Google™, regardless if you have a PPC strategy, your website may not be performing to it's full potential. Talk to us today about web site optimisation, SEO, and how we can improve your organic search engine optimisation with proven website seo.

Directories

You should add your website to as many directories as you can. Check out our free Australian Business Directory page for addresses and information about business directories.

Copywriting

A good copywriter knows which words trigger the feelings that compel people to make decisions. They write with flair, making it easy for people to be drawn into what they are saying about your business, services or products - see professional copywriting, and an example of good copywriting for a Mercedes Dealer.

Computer Maintenance - How Is Your Housekeeping?

News and Article index page How well does your computer run? Are you covered in case something happens to the valuable data on your computer hard drive(s)?

Here are a few things I do to ensure my computers run smoothly, are kept free of junk, are secure, and finally, backed up.

Empty your recycle bin
If you don't empty your recycle bin on a regular basis, you are using up hard drive space unnecessarily. Also be aware that when you empty your recycle bin, it doesn't mean that data is gone forever. It simply means it is not visible without the right tools, and is still recoverable from the hard drive surface.

Make regular backups
Computer Maintenance Backup important files on a daily basis using backup software. Accounts, mail, browser settings, etc.

On a less regular basis, perhaps weekly, use Acronis True Image to make "disc images". This is an inexpensive and easy to use program that enables you to take a complete "snapshot" of your hard drive (or drives), and recover them back to exactly the way they were before a disaster. The software lets you make an emergency recovery disc, which is basically a simple operating system you can boot from, allowing you to reinstate your backed up disc image.

Please note: of course you should back up the image to an external source, such as a remote hard drive.

Back up your PC and be sure to restore it Example scenario: Your hard disc decides to die, is unable to be accessed, and your computer won't boot up. Simply buy a new hard drive, install it, format it, boot into your Acronis recovery disc, select the backed up disc image, and the software does the rest. You are then able to boot back into your computer as if nothing ever happened. You would then apply your daily backups to update your files. After a couple of hours and a $100 hard drive and you're back in business.

I was going to say, if you have a large company, it would be prudent to store a backup of your system off site, however I guess this would be true for anyone. You have to consider theft and fire to start with as potential "backup up neutralisers" - in other words, no point having a backup system in place if it can be stolen with the rest of your system, or potentially burnt if a fire occurs.

Defrag
You should perform a defragmentation routine of all your drives on a regular basis. Because of the way your computer stores it's files (in sectors), you will find that over time large files get split up and spread over the surface of the drive. This increases the time it takes to "seek" files, and slows things down. Defragging simply moves all the files closer together. I do this every couple of months, but it depends on how much you use your computer and what you use it for.

Registry Cleaners
Don't use them! The risk versus benefit is not worth it. Only my opinion of course. :)
