Growthink Reveals 5 Simple Strategies to Revamp Your Website on a Budget

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 18, 2012

While a business owner should be an expert in marketing and not on building websites, there are 5 simple things that any business owner can do to revamp their website and increase profitability, according to Dave Lavinsky, president and co-founder of Growthink, Inc. an entrepreneurial strategy consulting firm.

Lavinsky outlines his 5 simple and affordable website enhancements:

#1: Set up a blog

Even if you don’t have a website, you can go to WordPress.com and create one for free. Or download WordPress and install a free WordPress theme (google that-there are hundreds out there) to your existing site, said Lavinsky.

#2: Post at least once per week

According to Lavinsky it is important to make a new blog post at least once per week, and to announce these new blog posts on Facebook and Twitter, as well as to email subscribers.

For your blog posts, think about what your customers and visitors want to see and learn that’s related to your industry and product. What are their interests and concerns that you can address? If you solve a problem, what topics on prevention can you touch on that help them out? Lavinsky said.

You can also write about what you see in the news, and add your commentary. It’s up to you, but the tried and true method is to ask your customers what they want, and give it to them.

Enhancing online visibility via the search engines is another essential blogging benefit that Lavinsky is keen to highlight.

Importantly, the more blog posts you have, the more likely you are to be found on search engines, which will bring more and more potential customers to you at no charge.

#3: Make & Upload Videos

If writing isn’t your thing, then making short and simple videos might be even better. Get out your wireless phone’s camera and film a 60-second video of you explaining how to clean out a garbage disposal, if you’re a plumber, for example. Upload the video to YouTube, and publish it for all to see. Then click the “Share” button on your video’s page and get the “embed code” to paste onto a new post on your site, said Lavinsky.

Lavinsky also advices to add some textual content to the blog post such as a keyword-based title (e.g., “how to clean out a garbage disposal”) and text above the video (e.g., Check out the video below where I show you how to clean out a garbage disposal”). This will help each blog post rank better in the search engines to get more traffic, he said.

#4: Add Tools for Sharing

On the Growthink blog, there are little buttons saying ‘Share on Facebook’. These buttons are called “badges,” and can be installed on a website with relative ease. Lavinsky advises entrepreneurs to have badges for Twitter, Facebook, and Google Plus on their site.

This can be done in a pretty straightforward manner, said Lavinsky. Each of the sites have support pages to guide you through the process, so your best bet is to google phrases like “how to add twitter badge to website” and you’ll find the instructions needed for your type of blog.

Or you can use services like ShareThis.com and AddThis.com that allow you to quickly and easily add sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, LinkedIn, and more, said Lavinsky.

#5: Register with Business Listing Sites

Lavinsky recommended a number of local business sites where entrepreneurs can list their site for no charge.

These sites don’t take much time to get listed on, and they will drive traffic and boost your SEO rankings, said Lavinsky.

According to Lavinsky, the most popular business sites are as follows:

Google Places
Yahoo Local
Bing Local
Yelp.com
Manta.com
Merchant Circle.com
Online Yellow Pages sites

Lavinsky advises all business owners to add these 5 simple tips to their to do list in order to generate more traffic for their website.

Report: Chatwing Launches Simple Shoutbox Effective for Websites Monetized by Google Adsense

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 15, 2012

Many people are now looking forward to monetize their blogs through the famous and infamous Google Adsense. According to Internet statistics, beginners are now flocking the blogging industry, hoping to get approvals from Google Adsense. The Chatwing research team has concluded a thorough research and realized that a lot of these beginners are not getting the proper visibility that they need. To deal with this dilemma, the Chatwing team has recently launched a shoutbox in prominent blogging communities such as WordPress, Posterous, Livvejournal, Windows Live Spaces, and Blogspot.

The Chatwing chat box is known in the blogosphere for its high rate of global connectivity. Adding to that, it has a social media integration feature wherein users can log in with their Facebook and Twitter accounts. This allows a user to expand his social network to a certain degree. Aside from interesting content, an active web chat tool can help a blogger reap profits from Google Adsense. Trueit may take a long chunk of time to make formidable income, but Chatwing assures high spikes of visibility as long as the blog contains interesting content.

Chatwing has offered a way to monetize a blog, few months ago. However, the dev team has taken it down so that the chat platform will run faster and accommodate more people from various communities. After a couple of platform tweaks, the Chatwing http://ww w.chatwing.com [shout box __title__ shout box] has managed to accommodate up to 600 users in real time. The team, however, is planning to upgrade it to 1000 so that more users will be able to take advantage of Chatwings communication effectiveness.

The developers of Chatwing are always looking forward to help bloggers all over the world, especially those who want to make decent income through Google Adsense. By empowering the premise of website chat, the Chatwing tool can raise the visibility of any blog. This may take time, but it is a wiser move rather than have users pay for external advertising campaigns.

About Chatwing.com

Chatwing.com has developed live chat software for websites and blogs. It caters to different online communities due to its high rate of connectivity. Everyone can create a customizable live chat box feature in 1 minute or less. Users have the ability to customize the size, color, and fonts of the chat product. The ability to chat via social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter enable Chatwing to offer a personal and unique real-time experience to all sites. Chatwing is 100% free and very easy to use.

EasyCloud Makes Launching Web Apps In The Cloud Simple.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) June 20, 2012

EasyCloud has combined Infrastructure, Platform and Software as a service as a combined product, with the ability to easily launch popular open source applications without any Linux programming expertise. Also featuring a new, very promising auto-database creation tool and other powerful API features.

Its the “First of its kind solution available on the market designed to help customers reduce the amount of time and effort spent on configuring popular web applications in cloud environments” according to EasyCloud in their beta launch news release on Yahoo News, on Tuesday. When using other cloud environments, designers and developers are faced with learning new Linux commands, searching for patches and scouring through help files just to build out servers before they ever get started doing actual web development. Not only is this one of the biggest pains in the development business; its also the most costly to any web developer who is trying to run a business.

“We ran a few EasyCloud deployments to see for ourselves and before we could even set a baseline for testing, our WordPress server was ready to use. Needless to say we were impressed, so much so we had to ask ourselves why no one had thought of this, until now.” says Brandon Starr, Founder of Starr Creative, a web firm in Houston, TX. EasyCloud is promised to save developers hours of time, freeing them to develop better websites.

“I figured if we could get web developers back to developing the web, rather than learning how to launch servers, the great minds of the web could get back to what they do best, creating. Instead of focusing on solving silly server issues. EasyCloud allows the developer to get his server online in the cloud, instead of getting frustrated trying to make sense of whats out there and how to make it work.” says Michael Miller, CFO of EasyCloud.

EasyCloud was founded by the creators of new web hosting startup Clout Host, who plan on continuing the advancement of what they call IPSaaS technology (Infrastructure, Platform and Software as a Service). From the beginning they made it clear that they wanted to bring something new to the hosting business. The solution was discovered after several admins on the network team complained of wasted time on building and patching servers.

“The team went a bit stir crazy putting together something to finally resolve the issue. And after using our in-house solution for a few months, we knew this product was a must-have for any web designer or developer. Really this is a solution that finally brings the cloud to the masses.” says EasyCloud CEO Jared Rice. EasyCloud.

More web applications and updates are promised in the coming weeks along with daily updates to current applications. All servers are promised as a “1,2,3″ build process and come with 24/7 customer support.

EasyCloud servers come in many shapes and sizes, including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento and scale up to 32GB of Ram. EasyCloud servers start at $ 19.99/month and can be launched instantly at http://www.GoEasyCloud.com.

Simple Video Pro Review - Biggest Launch or Biggest Flop?

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 19, 2012

Ever wanted to maximize video conversions? How about embedding buy buttons into the video? What about embedded social sharing buttons like Pinterest pinning? Now imagine if this was all controlled by a simple WordPress plugin?

Well, it seems this is exactly something Mike Lantz has concocted. This Simple Video Pro review will take a look at what can actually be expected from this highly anticipated WSO product launch.

The product page can be found right here.

Let’s face it, most video players are plain, boring, and flat out lame. They just suck. So this WordPress plugin basically allows users to “sex up” their videos, including YouTube videos.

What exactly is Simple Video Pro?

Its a simple WordPress plugin. And everything is point-and-click. No coding required. It allows people to embed buy buttons directly into the video. It also allows the adding of logos, banner ads, and other neat features.

Best of all, users can embed social sharing buttons like Facebook Likes and Pinterest Repins.

How does it work? (See more details here)

This would be a pretty lame Simple Video Pro review if it didn’t talk about how it works! Here’s the lowdown.

1) After creating a post or page in WordPress like usual, scroll down below the text field.

2) Here are the Simple Video Pro controls. You can insert your video links, like the ones you get from YouTube. The width of the videos can also be adjusted including adding cool shadow effects!

3) Scroll down more and there’ll be more tabs. Each tab represents a feature that can added to your video. Want a nice buy button? Insert that with a click of a button. Want to add social share buttons? Its all available inside this plugin.

4) There are roughly 5 tabs to choose from all with different features.

5) The really cool part that I like is that it can remove those silly YouTube related video suggestions when the video ends!

Anyways, hopefully you learn a lot out of this Simple Video Pro review. Here at Breaking Zero, premium WordPress themes are frowned on, since they’re usually worthless. But this plugin by Mike Lantz really impressed us. Its been used in our video sales pages and its actually improved our conversions. Can’t complain about more sales and viewer engagement!

Five Simple Steps to Protect Your Wordpress Site

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) October 11, 2012

Updating your website regularly is one of the best ways to protect yourself against attacks, Steve Jolly stated. You need to regularly update your version of WordPress, your Theme and all of your plugins, he said. You should also deactivate and delete any plugins that you are not currently using. Hackers search for websites that have not been updated.

Backup your website on a weekly basis at a minimum. There are several free plugins that owners of personal sites can use. For business, you need to use a backup service. These services will make it easier to restore your site in the event it is changed or deleted.

Only use plugins from reliable sources, Jolly said. Safety is not guaranteed, even when you download the plugin from the WordPress directory, he continued. Investigate the history of downloads, read the reviews and find out when it was last updated.

Remove all of the default links in the footer of your website. These links might advertise the theme you are using, connect to your login page or say Powered by WordPress. These links help the hackers know the platform of your site and make it easier for them to break in.

Do not use the default login name, Admin, when setting up your site. Hackers will use this to their advantage and it helps them walk in the front door. It is the equivalent of hiding the key under the mat. If you site has been set up with the default name, it is possible to fix it. Create additional users in WordPress with administrator status and then delete the user named Admin.

These WordPress tips will not make your site hacker-proof, but they are the foundation to a great defense.
