DIY SEO!

The Internet is the most sought after advertising medium today. To get good results requires a hefty upfront cost and several hundred dollars a month in SEO maintenance. Many small and medium sized businesses shy away from such advertising due to the costs, but there is a free way to advertise: Social Networks! The aim of the game is to get news articles or RSS feeds on sites such as Facebook, Blogger/Blogspot, Twitter etc. The more articles you do, the more potential there is for customers to find your web site! We have done this ourselves:


RSS Feed - our news article feed


Blogger - Our news article Blog


Twitter - Get quick updates of our articles


Facebook - A copy of our blog, links in to our website's blog


Linkedin - Profile of me, links in with twitter

We also have our blog on our website at dcnsolutions.net/blog/

To improve your listing in Google:

1. Add a news article everyday
2. Put your articles on as many bloging/social networking sites as possible!
3. Always link your article to your web site
4. Use key words that relate to the Google searches you want to optimise!
5. Link up to other blogs/tweets to increase your reputation

There are many tricks and tools that can be used, so for more info, please contact

Why Web Sites?

Some people think that web sites are only good if you want to get customers from online searches. Getting this done effectively is quite expensive, and time consuming. However, a web site can ALSO be your shop front and showroom! Some businesses simply can't afford all the floor space and man-hours to have a retail shop-front, but by having it electronic, you can direct people to the web site either by business cards, car decals, Yellow Pages or other similar marketing strategies, and get more customers coming to you without all the extra rent in floor space.

How eCommerce Can Help You

Many businesses these days are selling products online. Doing so is cheaper than having a physical shopfront and can augment their current sales by targeting people who wish to buy online. An eCommerce site (known as an online shop or eStore) can help your business target a larger audience. We are currently working on a couple of eCommerce sites that should be up and running next year, including our own eStore where you can browse some of the products that we sell! Keep your eyes peeled on our Web Design page.

Online Backup Hosting

A backup solution is required for all businesses, in case of a virus attack or simply deleting files accidentally. However, if there is a fire or theft, the backup drive is normally compromised unless it is taken off site at the end of the day. The other solution is Online Backup Hositng, which can backup your files automatically to a secure server, from as little as $55 per month. For more information, please contact us.
