Google Penguin Update → searchengineland.com

For those of you that live under a rock and are unaware of whats going on in the world of search. Google has made some pretty major changes recently. The last update which took place on 4/24, was known as the “Penguin Update”. It was meant to eliminate spammy websites. As an SEO I have seen my fair share of both good and bad websites. Well, lets just say the bad websites are finally getting what they deserve. 

For those of you that are watching your website plummet, don’t sit and watch. Get on the phone and speak to your marketing professional. They will help you build and market a suitable website. I am now going to leave you with my favorite quote when it comes to building and marketing your website. “KEEP IT SIMPLE”

If your users can’t find what they are looking for when they get to your site whats the point? Don’t over think it. Put together a clean, well written and easy to navigate website.

Phone Etiquette 101

I am going to keep this short and simple. While participating in a conference call, please make sure the client is off the phone before speaking your mind about either him or her. If you are a professional individual, this would more than likely never happen to you. For the non professionals, this has either happened to you, or will happen to you. Let me assure you this will be one of the most awkward moments of your life.

There is no worse feeling when you think the client has hung up and a voice comes through the phone that says, “do I really have to listen to this?” This is when you insert your foot into your mouth. See image below. HAHAHAHA. 

This may or may not be a true story. If its true, I would love to see the face of all parties involved. If its false, well I would love to see the faces of all parties involved. 

If any of the 2 people that read my blog (hahaha) have experienced this, or know of someone that has experienced this, I would love to hear your story.

What's been happening @mainstreethost?

So, as you can see I haven’t written a post in quite some time. For one, I am not the best writer in the world, so it takes me a long time to ponder up a thought. Secondly, I have been extremely busy making sure all of our clients are happy. Lastly, I have been scouring through resumes and setting up interviews with the help of my Assistant Manager Samuel Wanamaker. My other Assistant Manager Scott Molloy (Scoot Molly), has been hard at work training our new hires. As of late, I eat sleep and breathe work. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but my family comes first.

Most people might think being busy is a pain in the ass, but someone like myself looks at it is as job security. As an internet marketing company, we are constantly making updates to not only websites, but to our products. Our Research and Development department Managed by the one and only Craig Kilgore (@ckilgs) is constantly pushing their brains to the limit. With the information they pump out, it keeps the rest of us extremely busy trying to figure out how to implement all this great information. 

With all of our current growth, we have made major changes to our Web Design / Development Department starting by, adding a new manager with boat loads of experience. If you havent heard of Tom Seitz (@TRaySeitz) by now, you must be living under a rock. This guy has some of the best design credentials I have ever seen. 

I am going to call it quits for tonight because I am exhausted. Until tomorrow folks!
