Look at Your Website on a Cell Phone.

Have you ever held your cell phone upright and visited your own website and/or that of a competitor?  Do you see a little 2 inch square?  If you do keep this in mind…50% of all cell phone viewers hold their phone in the upright position when they are searching the internet.  If you are represented as a small postage stamp there is little or no chance that someone will even attempt to navigate through your website to see all of the things that your company provides.

You need to be seen on a mobile phone more than ever.  It is now estimated that three-quarters of all visits to the internet are being done on hand-held devices NOT desktops.  Getting value from your website in 2015 is a completely different process than it has ever been.  Now Google + controls the internet world and you had better play ball with them if you hope to get maximum efficiency out of your website.

Internet Highway features the industry’s solution to the problem.  It is an aesthetically beautiful, easy to navigate, fully functional website that is viewed clearly and completely on all size screens.  The Internet Highway design instructs the viewer to turn their phone sideways causing them to see your website perfectly every time.  Do you want your website to be visited by the maximum number of searchers or just half of them?  Contact Internet Highway today at (702) 655-2468 for all the details.

Accessing the Internet on Your Cell Phone.

Two things have become crystal clear…1.) almost everyone has access to a cell phone and 2.) when people want to access the internet and social networks they do so on their mobile device NOT their desktop.  This means that when people are looking for a particular website it must be easy to see and to navigate on small hand-held screens.  It also means that if a business does not have an active social network then they miss visits from people who are checking their Facebook or Twitter.

It is no longer an option just to have a website.  If you wish to generate any business from the web then you need to cooperate with Google and be a part of all of the platforms such as Google + which drives more traffic to your site.  You also need a custom website that is seen and visited on all size devices. 

If you want to get your ”unfair” share of business from the web talk to Internet Highway.  For a decade we have been helping small businesses take big chunks of internet business.  We will build you a custom website and a complete social network then manage it all for you at a very reasonable fee…much lower than the industry standard.  Internet Highway puts its time and effort into production NOT sales giving us the advantage of not raising prices.  Call Internet Highway today at (702) 655-2468.

They Call it Mobilegeddon!

As of April 21st 2015 Google began Excluding Non-Mobile Websites from its Mobile Search Results.  Up to 70% of Visitors are Currently Viewing Websites on a Mobile Device.  Google has provided a test link allowing you to test your site. You can type in your website address into the link provided by Googling Mobile-Friendly Test.

Google is favoring actual Mobile Websites over Mobile Apps. So Redirecting to a Mobile App is NOT the answer. Internet Highway works within the Google protocols to deliver the full online experience to both your mobile AND desktop visitors.  They need to find the information they are looking for quickly and easily regardless of the size of the screen.

Our Mobile/ Desktop Design
Is the only truly visitor friendly mobile design. It works within the new Google protocols to deliver a full Online Experience to your Mobile and Desktop Visitors. It is imperative that mobile visitors are able to view your Whole Menu without scrolling - in order to find the information they are looking for quickly and easily. By instructing mobile visitors to turn their phones sideways - they see your whole menu and can view every page of your website.

In addition to our Mobile / Desktop design, we have integrated new features like the Social Page and Blog Box to our design.  Our Social Page eliminates the need for different colored Icons cluttering your home page and places all your networks on one easy to access page.  Our Blog Box is updated twice a month and leads visitors to your latest blog. This shows Google your page sis being updated regularly.  

Don’t buy an inferior solution. Big hosting providers and Yellow pages are pushing long term contracts that you may regret when you see what your site looks like online.

Ads Vs. Natural Placement On Search Engines.



Other companies that promise front page placement on Google do just that. And attached to it is the most despised word on the internet... "Ad".

What do you do when you see "ad"-- you scroll on. Why? Because you want to choose what you are looking for, not have it choose you. Ad's are regarded the same way commercial breaks are, you scroll past ads and you channel surf while a commercial is on. Either way, it's about choice.

At Internet Highway, we will make sure you get front page placement that isn't inundated with so many ads it looks like a NASCAR. People are still looking for people. Not robots and not surveys to fill out before finding what you need.

Consider us the ushers of the internet. We won't have your front page placement in Hong Kong at 4 p.m --attached to a deodorant ad, when you're based out of the midwest here in the states. We will ensure that the folks who are looking for you (and they are) find you.

Beware Of The "Free Website" Offers That You See On Television

There has been a recent barrage of TV ads about building a website for free then if you don't like it you do not have to keep it. First of all, make sure what you will still own if you decide not to stay with that company. You may lose your identity on the internet unless you own the web address.

The most important part of this relationship is...what will I pay per month for services beyond the building of the website. It only costs about $12 per month to host a website, so if you are paying upwards of $80 or more per month you are wasting a great deal of money.

Professional design firms charge around $5000 to design a custom built websites. When you see "Free", "Custom" websites being offered for free - ask yourself "How?" A better question might be "Why?"

How
The cheap website deals you see on TV actually use cheap design template programs that you can customize a little - be are not truly custom. You, the client, ends up doing most of the work populating those programs. Once the site is up - it was not bulit to be optimized correctly and will never see the light of day on the first page of Google.

Why
They want to lock you into a high monthly fee. At $100 a month - which is what the most famous of those Free Website deals tries to talk you into "Once you're happy with the site" - works out to $1200 a year which is far from "Free." The boiler plate template program they used cost them next to nothing - labor / customer service - or lack there of - is minimal on their end. Nice profit margin for Scam.com. Not a very good deal for you. Especially since you will eventually take it down and have a real website built by professionals to get to the First Page of Google.

If you would like a professional website that is guaranteed to be on the front page of Google when people type in your important keywords then do yourself a favor. Type in on a Google search bar website design with Google placement and notice www.internet-highway.com at the top of the page. Then give them a call at (866) 782-6123.

Social Network Marketing For Attorneys

It is a subject on the minds of lawfirms both large and small. Does having a social network marketing presence make a difference. People of all ages are responding to Tweets and reading blogs these days. As a matter of fact the Vatican recently announced that the Pope will have a social network.

The value of being viral in the years to come seems logical. This is the second decade of the 21st century way to reach out to a multitude of people all at once and let them know why they should do business with you. Most business owners have gone to after-hours mixers and joined fraternal organizations to "network" with people who may one day need their services. Now you can do it without leaving your office.

The easy part is being there. If you are there (in the virtual world) people will find you and give you credibility that you cannot get with just a website. The hard part is populating or keeping your network updated so that people are informed and/or entertained EVERY TIME they go to your website. Virtually every study that has been done indicates that websites with current social networks get more visits and have more time spent on them than those that do not.

At www.internet-highway.com we take care of the hard part and do of the creative writing and social updates for you. All you have to do is check the blogs that we send you to approve the content. Most importantly the network that we create is secure so that no one can invade your space and say anything negative about you on your own social network. Contact www.internet-highway.com at (866) 782-6123 or email mike@internet-highway.com for details about social network marketing for attorneys.

Google Is A Tool Every Business Should Use

First page Google placement is not all that matters these days. As time goes by and Google becomes more and more powerful there are other things that you must be aware of if you want to have a dominant internet presence.

Google owns YouTube. If you are on the front page of a search term on Google, but you are not optimized for YouTube on a similar term you are behind the curve. If you have videos they need to be optimized just like your website. Since there are over 2 billion searches a day on YouTube people want to see and hear what you have to offer as well.

Google controls Google+ which is a relatively new competitor of Facebook and Twitter. If you concentrate on your Google+ activity you have a better opportunity to be favored by Google on search results. Having your photo next to your listing on Google is important. This is called a thumbnail. Make sure you take advantage of every thumbnail placement that you can on Google.

Google has its own blogging tool as well. If you use the Google blogger to send out your information to the bloggosphere you may be treated as a relavant listing on the front page of that topic. On a Google search bar type in the phrase Big Rig Safety St Louis. You will notice that the number one natural listing on that term is a blog not a website.

Google remains the king of the internet world and every tool available to you should be used by your internet company.

All of Google's products are important! If your provider is not taking advantage of any and all of them you owe it to yourself to find someone who does. Find a full service internet placement firm. Please give Internet Highway a call at (866) 782-6123.

An Exclusive Agreement With Your Internet Provider Is A Must

When you develop a relationship with a web designer and SEO company how do you know that they are not selling the same service to your competitors? The truth is nearly all of them are working for others in your area of expertise in the same market.

Ask yourself one important question. If my goal is to have a great website that is on the front page of Google, Yahoo, and Bing in the free, natrural listings then how can my provider guarantee me this when he is working for someone else with whom I compete? There are only 10 spots in the free listings on the front page of a search engine. How can any internet company serve two masters in the exact same field in the same market area?

There are many companies that purport themselves to be the internet company for lawyers, or the one for dentists, or perhaps the best fit for plumbers. Most, if not all of these companies have no compunction about signing up several different clients from a single market. If you suspect that the company with whom you are about to do business spends more on marketing than tech...be very afraid.

If you are looking for an exclusive internet marketing relationship with guarantees in writing then contact www.internet-highway.com at (866) 782-6123. You wouldn't share your trade secrets with your direct competitors. Why share your internet placement and social network marketing techniques as well?

Go Viral!

Social network marketing is the new buzz term of the internet. Being "viral" and communicating with your potential customers via facebook, twitter, google+ and relevant blogs is now as important as having your website on the front page of search engines.

Very few people have the hours each week that it takes to keep a social network strong and viable. Internet-Highway will create AND manage a social network for a very attractive monthly fee. This includes updating facebook, twitter, and google+ two or three times a week. Perhaps the most important part of your "viral" presence is writing multi-paragraph blogs which our creative writers do at least twice per month.
A quality, informative blog puts you ahead of the competition when it comes to areas of expertise in your field.

No one knows what the future of social networking will entail. That is why you need a company of creative writers who live in this world every day. We at www.internet-highway.com will make sure that your latest updates, tweets, and blogs are relevant. Best of all, we optimize our blogs with keyword rich content and use a blogging tool owned by Google to ensure the maximum placement of your blogs on Google.

For more information about creating and managing a social network with little effort on your part call www.internet-highway.com at (866) 782-6123. Keeping up with the ever-changing internet is the job of a professional. Don't try to do it by yourself.

Multiple Domains One Website

Should I Forward My Domains? Should I redirect the other domains to point to my website? No! No! No! Think like Google- if you don't have a website on a domain don't try to get placement for that URL. Google will penalize the website those other domains are pointing to.

Steps to Gaining More Facebook Business Page "Likes"

Many Facebook business page operators wonder every day how to get more likes. In actuality, just dedicate a few minutes each day to your page and it can make a world of difference.

Below are some methods for gaining more Facebook likes today!

  • Share your Facebook business page with your friends and tell them to like your page. 
  • Offer incentives for people “Liking” your page. An example would be special Facebook fan only discounts, running a Facebook business page contest and giving away products is a great way to get people engaged. Your fans may then want to share what you have to offer to their friends, thus getting more likes! 
  • Adding the like box button to your website is a given. This allows visitors to your website to easily be connected to your social media where they may not have known your company was even on Facebook before. 
  • Add a link to your Facebook business page at the end of your YouTube videos. 
  • Add a link to your Facebook business page to your email signature. This ensures that anyone who receives and email from you is made aware you company has a page. 
  • Post quality content daily to your Facebook business page. This keeps readers engaged and it will keep your business fresh on their mind. 
Any of these steps can be beneficial to your business and will get you more Facebook business page likes.
