<p><strong>The People First Approach</strong></p>
<p>Too many organizations have spent too much time and money on incomplete solutions. Investments in training, organizational development, performance management, process improvements, and employee retention efforts often fail to deliver real and measurable results. As an executive with a Fortune 500 company, Deb Calvert, the founder and president of People First Productivity Solutions, was also challenged by the number of choices… and by the lack of sustainability those choices offered long-term.</p>
<p>But there is a better way. <strong>Transformational change is possible</strong>. The key to real and lasting change is aligning your people with your processes so everything works together to advance your business goals. Alignment comes when you build organizational strength by putting people first. This is an approach that makes sense to everyone, from your front-line employees to your senior management team. And with everyone on-board, the changes we bring to you will soon become part of your organization’s culture. Additionally, internal ownership of these changes means that you won’t have to rely on an ongoing consulting engagement to “prop up” the transformation you desire.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-622" title="Heaven Forbid" src="http://www.strikingweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/heavin.jpg" alt="" width="209" height="64" />About 6 months ago, David Fraser approached Striking Web for help with his website <a href="http://www.heavenforbid.org/">www.heavenforbid.org</a> .   He was searching for a web design and development company that could help with <strong>website maintenance</strong> and further developing of his existing site.  As I reviewed and learned about his website it became pretty evident that David had a vision for helping to provide instant access to vital information during emergencies. What I liked about his website is that you can securely store all your vital information in one place in an organized manner, making it easy to find in an emergency or if you simply forgot something.  Because of his cause I’ve chosen Heavenforbid.org as the spot light website for this quarter.</p>
<p>A personal quote from David Fraser:<span id="more-621"></span></p>
<p>“Years ago, there was a television show which started each episode by showing an overview of downtown Manhattan. As the camera panned the city, the narrator began speaking . . . “<em>This is the Naked City, where there are millions of stories. Tonight, you will hear about just one” . . .</em> If you have not guessed, this was a police mystery show, a real “<em>Who done it</em>,” solved within 30 minutes, including commercials and scenes from next week’s episode.</p>
<p>In real life, there are truly millions of stories. People, from all walks of life, have found their choices have consequences and repercussions. Whether the results are favorable or not, is not part of the equation, the only constant is the fact we have choices to decide how to live our lives, how to protect our families, and how to safeguard what is most precious in our lives.”</p>
<p><strong>HeavenForbid.org provides <span style="text-decoration: underline;">instant access</span> to vital stored information during emergencies such as: </strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Missing Children with &#8220;Look For My Child&#8221;</li>
<li>Natural Disasters: Fires, Floods, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, and Tornadoes</li>
<li>Medical Emergencies</li>
<li>Personal and Family Matters</li>
<li>Lost or Stolen Credit Cards</li>
<li>Lost Pets and Veterinarian Records</li>
<li>Home Inventory / Possessions</li>
<li>Archive Important Documents / Papers</li>
<li><em>Featuring:</em> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Unlimited</span> Secured Storage of Business, Legal Documents, Photographs, Videos, Podcasts, Address Book, and E-Mail Blasts</li>
</ol>
<p>One of the things I enjoy about my business is learning about the businesses whose websites we build and or <strong>do website maintenance</strong> for. David has really made me think about the unthinkable and it has helped me to be better prepared.   As a matter of fact I am now a member of Heavenforbid.org!</p>
<p>Congratulations on a great cause David!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.linksmanager.com/cgi-bin/welcome.cgi?strikingweb" target="_blank">Link building</a></strong> is a way to build backlinks to your website.</h2>
<p>Building backlinks is one of the major pieces to the SEO puzzle that will help <strong>drive traffic to your website</strong> and also help your website rank much higher on the search engines.</p>
<h1>But why is it important to build backlinks to your website?</h1>
<h2>Think of a backlink to your website as a <strong><span style="color: #008000;">vote</span></strong>.</h2>
<p>The more websites that link to you the more votes your website gets.   Google’s algorithm takes into account how many links are coming into a website and a website with many incoming links is viewed as a valuable resource.<span id="more-596"></span></p>
<h3>So what can we do to build backlinks to our own websites?  Here are THREE things you can do to start building some back links to your site.</h3>
<ol>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://e5fdb6nkv1w-8z71xr7cvz8s8q.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">Submit one article a month to an article submission website</a>.  A good Article Submission website will let you include a link back to your website in the Article.  If your article goes viral you will generate a ton of <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://42b752xbv7wubt2ip2nc5wy668.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">website traffi</a></strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://42b752xbv7wubt2ip2nc5wy668.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">c</a>.</li>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.strikingweb.com/links/links.html">Requests links</a> from other websites that compliment your business.  Ask them to place a link back to your site in exchange for you placing a link on your website back to their site.</li>
<li>Spend some time on blogs that interest you and when you leave comments be sure to always include your website address.</li>
</ol>
<p>Building backlinks to a website is very time consuming and a game of patience.</p>
<p><strong>Here are some tools I would recommend that will help you with your backlinks building campaign:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://e8544gyn63xtlw4814hqyizka8.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-597" title="product200" src="http://www.strikingweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/product200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="214" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://e8544gyn63xtlw4814hqyizka8.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">WordPress Indexing Tool</span></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>Just when you thought you’d turned into a big fat cat who is sitting pretty you wonder why your empire isn’t taking off in quite the same way as you’d hoped.</p>
<p>If you are scratching your head wondering why then you might be interested to know that Google doesn’t index every link it finds. Here is how we can change this,</p>
<p>in a big way, all honest, ethical and pure magic!</p>
<p><a href="Just when you thought you’d turned into a big fat cat who is sitting pretty you wonder why your empire isn’t taking off in quite the same way as you’d hoped." target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Introducing the extremely clever Indexing Tool.</span></a></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="color: #339966;"> </span></strong></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://e5fdb6nkv1w-8z71xr7cvz8s8q.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #008000;">Articlesubmitter &#8211; New Article Submitter Software &#8211; Submit to 668 directories!</span></a></span></strong></span></p>

<p>Like I said building backlinks to a website is very time consuming and a game of patience. So don’t get discouraged if you are not seeing results from your efforts. It takes time and effort!</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>So, what are the steps to creating and submitting an article online? There are many ways to submit an article but let’s start with some basics of Article creation.<span id="more-527"></span></p>
<p><strong>Creating an article</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Be sure to pick a topic for your article that will spark interest and will create value.</li>
<li>Do your homework and find 3 keyword phrases that are relevant to your article and are good search terms.</li>
<li>Once you have 3 good keyword phrases be sure to do the following
<ol>
<li>Use the keywords in the title of your Article</li>
<li>Add the keywords to the body of your article and to the end of the article</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>SEO Prep Work before submitting the article</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Be sure to post your new article to your website first before submitting it to the Article Directories.   This will show that you had the content first on your website.  This is important for content originality in the Google Algorithm.</li>
<li>Ping your article on Google by doing a search for your new article post</li>
<li>Be sure to include the keyword phrases you used in your article in the MetaTags of your webpage.  You can have your webmaster do this for you if you are not sure how to do this.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Submitting your Article</strong></p>
<p>There are many services you can use to submit your article online. <strong>Below is one I would highly recommend:</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently had a conversation with a client about what it evolves to<strong> increase web traffic</strong> to a website.  I was surprised that my client was more concerned about <strong>building traffic</strong> but had not  thought about  what to do with the traffic that would be generated.</p>
<p>Essentially I explained to my client that it is important to have the following items in place to help build traffic:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Keyword research</strong> needs to be done on keywords that will be used on the website. The research is important because we need to find out if indeed people are using the keywords that we want to place on the site. It would make no sense to spend a lot of time and money setting up a page with keywords that no one is really searching for.<span id="more-467"></span></li>
<li><strong>Fresh Content</strong> – It is very important to have fresh content on a website so that the search engines continue to index the new content.  In the web world Content is King and Links are Queen! Having fresh content helps with the SEO of the page and with the ranking.</li>
<li><strong>Link Building </strong>– it is important to build incoming links to a website.  The more incoming links you have the more the search engines will like your website and rank it higher. Why? Because a website with a lot of incoming links is viewed by Google as a resourceful website.</li>
<li><strong>High Ranking</strong> – why is it important to rank high on a search?  The higher you rank the better the chances are that your website will display on page one or two of a Google search.  Websites that display within the first 10 searches of the Google page get about 75% of the clicks.  Therefore the higher you rank the more traffic you will get.</li>
<li><strong>Blog</strong> – a blog on a website is great because posting an article to your blog generates new content on your website. This will help the ranking of the website.</li>
<li>Create one Press Release a month with keywords that are relevant to the service the website provides.  Press Releases are a great way to generate traffic to a website and incoming links.</li>
</ol>
<p>Ok, so I just shared 6 things you can do to help optimize and <strong>create traffic for your website</strong>.  But what is the purpose of generating traffic if you’re website is not getting phone calls?</p>
<p>The most important goal you must determine for your website is what it is you want website visitors to do when they come to your website?  Do you want them to sign up for a free quote? Or maybe call your 800 number, or sign up for your blog?</p>
<p>My point here is that generating traffic to a website can be done in time with the right strategies, however you want to be able to setup your website so that when new visitors come to it they buy, contact, or email you.</p>
<p>In summary having a strategy for how your website will handle the traffic that you generate is VERY IMPORTANT otherwise you are just wasting your time and money to <strong>build traffic</strong>.</p>
<p>Remember! If you don’t have a website, you don’t exist!</p>
