Random Free Hosting Site
We'd like to congratulate German
Greet Cards for being the winner
of last month's free hosting site. At the beginning of each month we
will call up our own site's homepage. Whomever's site is the featured
site when the page loads will get free hosting of one domain for one
month. It's just our way of saying thank you.
Reduced Rates For Hosting
Association Sites
HUEY Productions is happy to
announce a new policy that may help reduce the site hosting cost for
associations hosted on our server.
If we host your association
site (not your business site) we will reduce the hosting fee to
$5.00/month after three association members, not currently hosted with
us, arrange to have their sites hosted by us. Your association hosting
fees will be the normal amount until the third association member signs
up to be hosted by us and then your association’s hosting rate will
decrease to $5/month. At that time we’ll refund any amount due your
association.
If you’d like to discuss
this new policy with us, just
e-mail us.
Check Your Links
Do you have any inbound
links pointing to your site? If not, no amount of awesome copy on you
homepage is going to get your site high rankings. Links are very
important. And even more so for Google. Go to
linkpopularity.com and see what you have. Also check your
competitors. If they have more than you, you need to get some high
quality links. You can either do that yourself or hire us to do it for
you. It can be time consuming and expensive. But you have to do it. It
makes you look important to the search engines. A good way to do it is
to make sure you are listed on industry related sites. Go to
incominglinks.com to see which ones you should be listed on. Then
write articles and submit them to article submission sites. That could
potentially give you hundreds of links for free.
Guaranteed Search Engine
Rankings
Don't be fooled! If your get
an e-mail or phone call from a company that says they can guarantee top
placement on the search engines, immediately ask the company what phrase
you will be ranking for! 9 times out of 10, a company that guarantees
you rankings, is guaranteeing that you will rank for your own company
name (or address), which means people on Google or MSN or Yahoo! would
have to know your company name before searching. How does this produce
new customers and visitors to your site? Chances are, as soon as these
search engines index your site, you will rank within the top ten for
your company name, if not first, because it is unique. Why bother paying
someone for something that is already going to happen, anyway?
Guaranteeing rankings is
highly unethical. It is impossible to guarantee rankings unless they
have access to Google's database itself, and even then I'm not sure it's
possible. Keep in mind, they are not Google, but rather a third party.
No one outside of the companies that run these search engines knows what
it is exactly that makes search engines rank sites high. Especially due
to the fact that these search engines and the rigorous ranking filters
they use to spit out search results change almost monthly. Even a former
Google employee doesn't know how to guarantee rankings! If someone is
telling you they'll guarantee top rankings, run fast! Those are
some shady, shady claims. Google themselves have said:
"No one can guarantee a -#1
ranking on Google - Beware of SEO's that claim to guarantee rankings, or
that claim a "special relationship" with Google, or that claim to have a
"priority submit" to Google." There is no priority submit for Google. In
fact, the only way to submit a site to Google directly is by using the
page at
http://www.google.com/addurl.html.
New Clients
We would like to thank the
following businesses for coming to HUEY Productions for their Web sites.
