Fasthosts Discovers Firms At Risk From Over-Reliance On External Web Professionals

Leave a comment

A new Fasthosts Internet Ltd survey* has revealed that British firms may be placing themselves at risk through an over-reliance on IT or web consultants who look after their website.

The study* found that many firms do not have simple arrangements in place to retain basic control or in some cases even legal ownership of their website and domains.

Ever broadening consumer expectations for the web has led more firms than ever (43%) to opt for using the services of skilled web professionals to help create and maintain their website. 92% of these companies rate their external web consultants positively, with 38% reporting a ‘good’ return on investment. However, the Fasthosts ‘SME & the Web’ study found that many UK companies may be risking revenue and reputation as a result of weaknesses in their workflows with such third parties.

Issues can occasionally arise between companies and external web partners. During the past 2 years, 1 in 4 firms paying for an external web professional have had their website off-line as a result of a problem related to the other party. 1 in 5 businesses incurred delays to projects caused by their external partner, and 17% reported losses of both staff time and sales revenue over £1000 as a result. For 14% of respondents, an external advisor or agency had gone out of business.

A large number of small companies are failing to take basic steps to safeguard the continuity and protection of their web presence. In the event of an issue with their external partner, 56% of firms have no way of making any changes or additions to their website themselves and 80% have no facility for switching their website on/off independently. For these businesses, the link to their external web professional is a single point of failure in their online presence. Whilst UK firms invest millions in professional web design each year, 70% of those using a web designer do not retain a back-up copy of their website themselves.

Waveform Technology Provides Marian High School with Fastest Private School Internet Access in Michigan

Leave a comment

For the 2010 school year Troy based Internet Service Provider Waveform Technology is completing new fiber optic construction to provide gigabit Internet access to Marian High School in Bloomfield Hills, along with Brother Rice High school and St. Regis School. Gigabit Internet access is more than 160 times faster than Marian High School’s old Internet connection and 650 times faster than a T1, giving Marian High School faster Internet access than any other private school in Michigan.

The new Internet access is provisioned over privately owned fiber built by Waveform Technology. “This is as a pilot project for a larger community oriented construction schedule,” said Waveform Technology representative, Noel Montales.“Private schools don’t have access to the same purchasing power as public school districts. We want to see how we can help these schools overcome this and have access to the bandwidth they need in a cost-effective manner. Fifteen years ago we helped break the price barrier on T1 circuits, making Waveform Technology the first to provide always-on dedicated Internet access to private schools in Metro Detroit. We hope to do that again for extremely fast Internet access.”

Marian High School will use the faster Internet access to move to hosted solutions for both school management systems and educational resources. “This will allow us to access more state-of-the-art technology for schools,” said Mark Hallman, of Marian’s Technology department, “letting us explore video, simulations, and virtual educational technology opportunities.” Hallman also said he used to tell teachers to limit their Internet use in the class room for fear of bogging down the old connection, but now the access to additional bandwidth will allow more concurrent use of interactive resources.

Leave a comment

A Bird and Co website, 360 Diversity, has helped Core Assets Group win the EFA and EFB Best Small Organisation award.

The Employers Forum on Age (EFA) and Employers Forum on Belief (EFB) Awards were established to reward companies that have been prominent in tackling workplace discrimination against age and religion or belief.

Bird and Co created a comprehensive CMS web design for the website that integrates with the company’s intranet, active directory infrastructure and the company’s whole computer network.

Nick Downton, web services manager for Bird and Co, said: “Working with Core Assets on the 360 Diversity project has been an enjoyable experience.

UK SEO Experts QueryClick.com Welcome the Decision to Empower Users in their Consumption of Online Video Advertisements

Leave a comment

A new ad-selecting tool, ASq, is to be employed by major websites in a programme of user empowerment over online advertising. Sites such as Yahoo.com, Hulu.com and MSNBC.com aim to have the tool implemented as of next month, when users will be able to choose which adverts appear in the videos they consume online.

The reasons behind such an alternative method of product promotion are not purely altruistic. In a piece of research carried out by Vivaki, the digital branch of French advertising company Publicis Group, it was revealed that users are twice as likely to click an ad if offered with a selection rather than having a pre-determined advert forced upon them.

According to the global research director at Microsoft’s ads unit, Beth Uyenco Shatto;

“When you give people a choice, they tend to love you because you’re showing them respect.”

Perhaps love is a strong word, but the opportunity for site visitors to be given a say in the promotional material they encounter will represent a drastically fresh approach to an otherwise chore-some element. After all, as Beth Shatto reminds us;

“If it wasn’t for advertising, they [users] wouldn’t be getting the content for free.”

Already, the video advertisement market represents the fastest-growing sector within online advertising. It is expected to continue in a similar, if not more impressive vein, with predictions f r o m IDC that global online video ad spending will reach $11.3 billion by 2014. UK SEO company QueryClick.com cited the continued prosperity of online advertising as a reference for the future success of the medium, informing us that;

“2009 saw advertising spend for online marketing overtake television for the first time, witnessing growth of 4.6% despite the otherwise universal recession experienced by the entire advertising sector.”

Bing Innovation Reinvigorates Search Industry Says UK SEO Experts Queryclick

Leave a comment

In a bid to continue taking noticeable bites out of Google’s market share, Bing has unleashed yet another ground-breaking web-based application to woo searchers.

An add-on to Bing Maps, the cutting-edge app known as ‘Taxi Fare Calculator’ now allows users to determine prospective cab costs when planning journeys in major cities.

Part of a raft of new applications currently sweeping Microsoft’s search engine, SEO industry experts QueryClick believe Bing’s continued innovation makes it even more capable of chipping away at Google’s market share:

“Since the late 90s Google has held an almost unbreakable stranglehold over the search industry accounting for a staggering 60% of the market share.

“Despite Bing serving a mere 12.7% of the industry, the speed with which Microsoft are swaying millions of web users is not to be ignored.

“Microsoft realised early on that it would have to offer netizens something other than search if it was to stand a chance at cracking Google which is why we will continue to see developers pulling out all the stop to create web applications that can’t be found anywhere else.”

The new features on Bing Maps don’t stop there however with a series of other applications that cover everything from weather reports to restaurant reviews.

Weatherbug, for example, takes internet weather forecasting to an entirely new level with radar imagery, live video from observation stations and satellite technology that can accurately track and predict weather systems days in advance.

SEO Experts QueryClick.com fear Google-Verizon Talks May Lead to End of Net Neutrality

Leave a comment

According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), net neutrality advocates a level playing field for all, with no form of content afforded preference over any other. This concept has come under threat recently from supposed plans by Google and Verizon, one of the USA’s leading Internet Service Providers.

The partnership between the search engine giant and telecoms operator Verizon are though to be concerned with the formation of a tiered payment system, in which content creators would pay Verizon to ensure that their site gained prominence over others.

The involvement of Google in the discussion of a fee-paying service will have come as a surprise to many, following their appeal to protect the “openness of the internet”, and the ability of users to have their content made available to the world without having to pay for the privilege.

Such favouritism would go against the tenets of net neutrality, and has evoked a counter response from the FCC, whose chairman Julius Genachowski deemed such payment-for-preference arrangements as “unacceptable”.

SEO experts QueryClick.com believe that if an agreement between Google and Verizon results in any system which involves a site paying for privileged online presence, the ordinary internet user would eventually encounter rising broadband costs in order for sites to recoup their expenses.

When assessing this situation though, it is necessary to investigate the concept of net neutrality itself, and whether it even exists in reality.

Bigmouthmedia Reports Google Changes Will Make Advertising Attractive For Comparison Sites

Leave a comment

Bigmouthmedia reports that Google’s latest changes to its trademark policy will make pay-per-click advertising more attractive for comparison sites.

The press conference announcement means that from September 14th 2010 the UK will now follow Google’s existing US AdWords policy, which allows any advertiser to use trademarked keywords within their advert text in some cases. Using trademarked terms in advertising copy will remain outlawed in mainland Europe, but following the rule change keywords will no longer be protected from others bidding on them.

“Aggregators will now have the ability to use brand names in their adverts. This is likely to improve their click-through rates and quality score, and will therefore make it more attractive for such operations to bid on brand terms,” said Lyndsay Menzies, Chief Operations Officer at bigmouthmedia.

“In the UK the news may have a large impact on brand bids in industries such as finance, travel and electronics. While advertisers in mainland Europe will be unable to put trademarked terms in the advertising copy of their campaigns, the changes are still likely to have a big impact on brand budgets.”

Bigmouthmedia believes that Google’s decision to allow anyone to bid for trademarked keywords across Europe is widely predicted to lead to price rises in the markets affected. When this happened in the UK – where the policy change was first rolled out in 2008 – bidding on some brand terms increased by as much as 500% in the short term. The hike was relatively short lived mainly due to British brands’ unwillingness to get involved in bidding wars, although this may not be the case in other European countries and brand bidding may break out in earnest.

Content Management Solutions Company DPCI President Presents At Info 360

Leave a comment

When over 24,000 IT professionals descended on Philadelphia to attend Info 360, the AIIM International Exposition and Conference, one of the featured speakers they heard was DPCI President and Founder, Joseph Bachana. No stranger to many of the attendees (he is a frequent industry speaker and regularly publishes articles on drupal cms, open-source software, web content management solutions and other topics), Mr. Bachana’s session was titled “Sorting Through the Options in Open Source Content Technologies.” It dealt with the business, functional and architectural approaches a company can take when choosing open-source Web content management solutions. It outlined some of the key differences between leading open-source products such as WordPress, Plone, Zope, Joomla! and Drupal content management systems.

Mr. Bachana also reviewed the process by which a company would pick a solution (including how to effectively organize functional requirements) and compared open-source options such as drupal CMS to commercial equivalents. In many ways, the topic reflected a high level overview of how his company, DPCI, works with its clients to choose, design and implement web content management tools.

Mr. Bachana’s presentation at AIIM followed his recent participation at Drupalcon 2010, in April. DPCI was a Gold Sponsor of the convention, where Bachana served as a panelist on the “Trends in Enterprise 2.0 Technologies” session.

DPCI is a leading provider of content and digital asset management solutions, recognized as being both innovative and highly effective. The company works with clients operating within a range of fields, including media and entertainment, education, corporate marketing communications, financial services, advertising and software development, as well as a number of professional associations. The invitation by AIIM (the Association for Information and Image Management) to speak at the yearly conference for its 65,000 members is a nod to DPCI and to Mr. Bachana as being a notable presence in the field and reflects the reputation earned by the company since it was founded in 1999.

To learn more about web content management solutions or for further information on DPCI or its President, Joseph Bachana, please visit DPCI’s websitewww.databasepublish.com, e-mail info@databasepublish.com or call 800-818-2905.

Facebook ‘Questions’ Adds New Dimension To Search, Claims UK SEO Experts Queryclick

Leave a comment

Shortly after hitting the 500 million user mark last week, Facebook announced a new change of direction which will see the social media giant make its first move into the search market.

The new feature – called Questions – will see users able to ask for answers, opinions and advice from a community of fellow users.

Despite similar facilities being available via Twitter, Ask.com and Yahoo Answers, UK SEO experts QueryClick believe Questions still adds a new dimension to search as a company spokesperson explains:

“Facebook hasn’t broken new ground by providing a service where users can ask a community of people for answers. What it has done, however, is created an environment where those asking questions have access to 500 million potential answers.

“The enduring popularity of Facebook will undoubtedly see a large number of people take part in Questions which will deplete the amount of traffic and number of page views currently racked up by similar sites such as Yahoo Answers.”

Coinciding with the relaunch of Ask.com, Facebook Questions marks a noticeable turning point in the history of search with increasing emphasis on answers from humans rather than computers.

Although Facebook Questions has not be highlighted as a threat to current industry leader and pioneer, Google, SEO web design experts QueryClick still believe that internet users should expect a shift in the way we approach online search:

“When the internet first began growing in popularity about 15 years ago, people were happy to scour the web looking for answers to their questions and quickly began favouring search engines over people when it came to solving queries quickly.

Web Content Management System Consulting Company Gold Sponsor at Drupalcon 2010

Leave a comment

New York-based DPCI, a leader in the implementation of web content management systems, was a big supporter of Drupalcon 2010, acting as a Gold Sponsor of the San Francisco conference. Over 3,000 people involved in Drupal content management attended the conference, held at the Moscone Center. Aimed at developers, consultants and businesses involved in the Drupal community, the three day conference (with an additional four days of associated activities) included numerous sessions ranging from development presentations and training opportunities to discussions of open-source CMS solutions and employment opportunities, all with a heavy emphasis on Drupal, the leading open-source web content management system.

Always active in the Drupal and web content management systems community, DPCI President Joseph Bachana and other DPCI staff were in attendance. Mr. Bachana was a featured presenter at the show, as a member of a panel discussing “Trends in Enterprise 2.0 Technologies.” The company’s visibility at the show was highlighted by a booth in the Exhibit Hall. DPCI joined leading technology companies such as Google as a Gold Sponsor of the conference (which was also supported by the likes of Microsoft, Sun Oracle, The Economist and other well known names), showing the interest the technology industry in general has in the web content management system market. Such systems can be very complex to implement. With the combination of proprietary software, open-source options (like a Drupal content management solution) and a frequent need to integrate with existing corporate software systems, it’s crucial to ensure that an experienced consultant is chosen to lead the project. Companies that make use of digital assets or publish content to multiple platforms (typically print, web, mobile and e-Book) benefit tremendously from implementing a web content management system (CMS). While the entertainment and media industry is a primary market for CMS, DPCI has also implemented CMS solutions in the education, marketing, financial services, advertising, travel and software fields since 1999.

For further information about Drupalcon 2010, visit the conference web site at www.sf2010.drupal.org. For more information about options for a Web content management system or to learn more about DPCI, please visit the company’s web site:www.databasepublish.com. To contact DPCI President Joseph Bachana, please e-mail info@databasepublish.com or call 800-818-2905. DPCI’s offices are located at 1560 Broadway, Suite 810, New York, NY 10036.
