You Get What You Pay For Try Twisted Pair Techs
April 26, 2009
As an internet marketer I am online 12-14 hours a day. So when one of my computers stopped connecting with the internet I was in trouble. Like any computer dependent company we had a back-up computer. Then the hard drive on that computer started to go out on me. I could no longer avoid addressing the issue.
Since I am a big fan of barter I figured that I would begin contacting some repair vendors and see if anyone wanted to trade services. I happen to have the card of Alex, of Twisted Pair Techs on my desk. I had briefly spoken with Alex recently at a business mixer help at the Pearl nightclub here in Tucson. I picked up the card and gave him a call. I had already exhausted all my options with my cable provider to no avail.
What I found out was that Alex’s services are on the high end of area service providers in this community. But I was reminded that you often get what you pay for. I have previously tried two different vendors on Craigslist to fix a virus problem on an older computer. I ended up spending more than the price of a new desktop and still never resolved the problem.
I realized that maybe bartering was not the way to go and since Alex didn’t want my services that wasn’t an option. If I lost the hard drive on the back-up computer I would have to rely on a very slow laptop. That computer lacked many of the files and programs that I use on a daily basis. So that option was not a very good one. I likely would have spent a day loading files and programs.
Alex and I talked late Thursday evening and he was here the next afternoon. He stated that he might be running late and would call if that occurred. In fact that’s what happened. He was running late and called ahead to inform me. He pushed back his arrival by 30 minutes and he arrived promptly at the reset time.
The problem took him 30 minutes to resolve. I now have internet access on my fast computer. Essentially Alex’s service fee was cheaper than those Craigslist vendors who wanted $50.00 to show up. I know other there are others who charge even less. For my money and my business it is worth it to pay a premium for services that are done correctly. In the end I will have saved money because the problem was resolved quickly. Not only that but he provided better resources than I was currently using to protect my computer. Alex is a class act!
I highly recommend Twisted Pair Techs.

Another Look at Google Analytics
December 21, 2008
This is a feature that we are implementing with each post. It is here because we provide small business SEO solutions all across Arizona. At this time we would like to thank our friends and clients for their support. If you have landed here looking for our Internet marketing or SEO services in Sedona, then please follow this SEO link.
Another Look at Google Analytics
No this article does not cover all the great new features that have been added to Analytics recently. What I am going to suggest that you start paying more attention to time on site and more specifically time on each page stats. They will reveal much about the quality of your content and whether it meets the visitors expectations.
This site, of ours, is a hybrid of sorts in that it includes 14 static pages where we sell our services and tell our story. Then there is the blog that has a completely different audience. So in many ways this site is two in one. They both serve completely different purposes and audiences. All of the static pages use a sales funnel designed to elicit a buying decision. The blog, however, loosely applies these principals. Its pages offer mostly reference material and information.
What I am looking for on my static page is an average of about 7 minutes per page. If this drops below this level and stays there for 30 days or so I would then consider updating that pages content.
When examining time on page stats for the blog there are many more factors to consider. Was the page brief or detailed? Did the post include links to other sites? What was the topic of the post? If you study these time on page stats you can eventually develop a feel for what your readers are interested in and you can then make adjustments.
Average time on pages this is a real indicator if people like your site and its content. Average time on site is nice but mostly useless. There are other considerations as well. It is important to determine where your traffic is being generated from. If you social bookmark your blog posts you can expect these pages to have a considerably lower time on page stats.

Social Bookmarking Resource Center
December 10, 2008
This is a feature that we are implementing with each post. It is here because we provide small business SEO solutions all across Arizona. At this time we would like to thank our friends and clients for their support. If you have landed here looking for our Internet marketing or SEO services in Goodyear or Flagstaff, then please follow this SEO link.
Social Bookmarking Resource Center
Let me state right upfront that I personally do not use Social Bookmarking sites. However, I do recognize the value that these sites offer for many individuals and website owners.
So with this in mind I wanted to share of few resources that should make these sites easier to use and find. The first site, Social Marker looks to be a great tool. It allows you to bookmark 48 sites at once. It also allows you to choose between no follow and do follow submissions.
The do follow would be used by those only looking to gain a search ranking advantage through links generated on these sites. The no follow crowd is more concerned about generating traffic. This group is generally full of affiliate marketers hoping that you will visit their site and then click on a text link or banner ad.
The second option will take an enormous effort to implement fully. It is a fairly comprehensive list of social bookmarking sites that includes over a thousand sites. That right at last count it covered 1,053. When visiting this blog please do leave them a worth while comment that’s a little more than “nice list.” Whoever generated this list has put a lot of time and effort to create it and should be rewarded with great comments.

A Comprehensive Ping List
December 10, 2008
If you have landed on this page looking for SEO services it is because we were specifically targeting your community. Please go here for SEO-Search Engine Optimization. Or stay on and learn more about the advantages of using pinging services.
We have created a comprehensive ping list that should provide you with the best possible opportunity to market your blog. For my San Jose SEO friends and those that came here for small business SEO solutions I will explain.
Most blogs come with a feature called pinging, or in this case auto pinging. Your blog, if set up properly will send a signal out called a ping. A ping is a signal that lets these websites know that you have just updated your website. These sites then collect a snippet of your new post and place it on their websites.
That snippet then becomes available in a search able database. These sites offer a great opportunity to market your website globally as you post with no additional effort. Every blog is a little different where this feature is located. If you have a WordPress 2.51 blog here are the instructions. In your control panel open up the write section, then go to settings and this is where you will find the ping feature.
Let me remind you that this is copyright protected material and is for personal use only. It can not ever be reproduced and placed on your blog or on a forum. We encourage you to link to this post if you want to share this information.
This list currently includes 84 ping sites.

Google Has Made Some Changes To Its Results
December 1, 2008
This is a feature that we are implementing with each post. It is here because we provide small business SEO solutions all across Arizona. At this time we would like to thank our friends and clients for their support. If you have landed here looking for our Internet marketing or SEO services in Sierra Vista, then please follow this SEO link.
Google Has Made Some Changes To Its Results
It was been widely known that Google is a big fan a user generated content. These sites that allow users to generate new content through posts and comments are know as Social Media sites. Google has several of these sites in its stable of properties, such as YouTube, Blogger, and Knol.
Well, Google has recently added some new features that are geared to influence this crowd. When you are logged into your Google account you will have a few more options and you can edit the results to your liking. You can deleted the results that you don’t like or you could leave a comment associated with a specific result.
These changes will only affect the results delivered to your account. While, I personally do not see a need for these new features I can see the value for others. Let’s say you work in a small office and you are doing research on a project that is based on Google searches. You could use these new features to edit the results to share with others in the office. It could also work with long distant collaborations. You could leave notes explaining your thoughts on a specific websites content. So this could be a very useful tool.
What I find most fascinating is the consideration of what Google will do with this information. If you are not aware of this already, Google records your user information when you are using your account. There is no privacy here. What I wonder is will they use this information to eventually impact the search results that they deliver?
What do you think? Is this something that you would use?
