Drive Your Web Site: Blogging, Technorati & Social Media

OK, so youve got a new web site. How are you going to get people to come to the site?
Search engine optimization (SEO) used to be the main method of web site promotion. But Web 2.0 has arrived, and now youve got a number of tools to use from the drivers seat of your web site.

Business Use of Facebook: Prerequisite Knowledge
Businesses need to be aware of several issues when setting up Facebook accounts and business fan pages:
An individual can only have one personal Facebook account. Using multiple accounts violates Facebooks terms of use, and may result in Facebookshutting down the accounts.

New Facebook Business Page

We are pleased to announce our new business page on Facebook. It contains tips and tricks you can employ on your own to make the best of your web presence.
Our mission is to share information to help businesses and organizations promote themselves on the web.

Promoting Your Business with Social Media
Promoting your business on Facebook: whats appropriate? Should you post resources on your personal wall or your businesss fan page wall? Is talking about business from your Facebook profile too pushy?
Non-profit organizations have an easier job navigating social media norms than for-profit businesses. Its acceptable, expected, and desired of non-profit organizations that they promote events and products.

New Social Media Resource Page
More and more of our customers and colleagues are using social media. Marketing professionals and business owners can apply a social media facet to their marketing strategy. We plan to post technical tidbits about social media on our social media resource page as we find them.

Two Tips for Search Engine Optimization
Keeping on top of your web site can be as slippery as giving a baby a bath. The World Wide Web is always new, always slipping out of your grasp. Markets change. Technology evolves. Just when you think you have everything under control, new issues pop up.

The Necessity of a Professional Web Site
Your web site is important. It establishes the credibility of your business. Having a web site is now more important than having a listing in the phonebook. It is a requirement for a credible, established business.
And not just any web site. A bad site hurts your professional image.

What SEO Can Do For You
Search engine optimization, or SEO, is one of the most cost-effective ways to direct people to your web site, particularly for a small business.
Typically, the higher a web site ranks in a search engine (like Google or Yahoo), the more people will see it.
Our clients regularly appear in the top 10 search engine rankings for terms that we optimize for.

September 2009 E-Marketing Minute: Don't Trust the Internet to Get It Right!

Content management systems (CMS) customization

"I am a Certified Specialist in Family Relations Law with a sole practice in Chardon and Ravenna. Before I hired Lake Network to create a website, I had one full time secretary as my only employee, and a fairly busy practice. The website was created in 2008, and I almost immediately began to see results.
"A number of people have mentioned that my website is unlike those of other attorneys. It is easy to see the extra care that went into designing the site to capture my philosophy about my work, and my commitment to providing information desired by individuals facing difficult family problems.
"Several months after the web site was launched, the workload from new clients caused me to hire a part time paralegal to assist with the paperwork. My paralegal is now a full time employee, and we may need to hire additional help in the near future.
"The website has paid for itself many times over in the form of additional business. My only regret is not having contacted Lakenetwork years ago."
Mary K. Bender

"As a start-up business in a very limited market, we would not have survived without the expertise of Lakenetwork web site development. In less than two weeks my business was in the top three listings on three of the most popular search engines. Without Lakenetwork I would still be making cold calls instead of supplying my services to paying customers."

"Just wanted you to know that we are already seeing great results. Keep up the good work."

"Thank you for doing a fantastic job on Camelot Home Inspections online quote page! This has proven to be an immediate benefit as my existing referral business finds the online quote system convenient and new customers have been generated as well. My customers have commented on the ease of use."
Eric Miller, President
