When Loyal Customers Feel Wronged

Effective marketing strategies need constant monitoring, and precise feedbacks from the market to know the strengths and weaknesses of the strategies.

Cheap Web Hosting That Doesn’t Suck
Finding cheap web hosting that doesn’t suck is sometimes easier said than done. When I launched my first blog, I had no idea where to begin. I did some Google searches, I asked some blogger pals, and I checked out the hosts that WordPress recommended. In the end, I pinned the proverbial [...]

A website audit is an essential first step toward identifying the issues that may be causing your site to perform poorly in the organic results of search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing.

Reciprocal and Auto-Following on Twitter = Bad Idea
So…here I sit in the library trying to get some work done because my Internet connection at home is down. Little did I know, I can’t get access to my hosting accounts’ cPanels from here. DOH! So, instead of working on the projects I intended to work on, I’m writing a blog [...]
