Good Work = Swiss Chocolate

What is SEO?
While this is not a new term, it certainly is hard for many people to get a grasp on an actual definition. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, but what is it exactly?
Facebook: Everyone Else is Doing It, Why Aren’t You?
Chances are if you aren’t on Facebook, you know someone who is. It has rapidly become the number one social networking site, passing MySpace. You can post photos, reconnect with childhood friends, view videos, and blog. But you can also use it as a tool for your business.

Hurricane Season is in Full Swing… Are You Prepared?
It seems like we just got through wondering about Fay, now we have Hanna, Ike and Josephine out in the Atlantic. It doesn’t look like we’ll have a boring September, to say the least.
Happy Tropical Storm Day
For many years, we’ve watched storms brew in the Atlantic, always saying “it won’t even bother us.” Well, the funny thing about Mother Nature is that she strikes when least expected.
Spring & Summer… the Relocation Seasons
The real estate market is starting to pick up in our area and I believe it is the season for relocating. Typically spring and summer are the best times of year to plan a relocation or house purchase.
Effectively Use Your Website and Blogs to Attract and Retain Customers
Your website is your greatest selling tool and should be an investment that you commit to more than just one time. The “if you build it, they will come” does not work for online marketing. You can’t just build a website and wait for business. So how do you get people to you?
Going Green: It’s not just about your aluminum cans anymore …
The phrase “going green” was once considered a catch phrase for environmentalists who liked to recycle paper and cans. But today, most industries are making sure they show their clients and consumers how “green” they can be.

“You can’t always sit in your corner of the forest and wait for people to come to you … you have to go to them sometimes.”

We have a new account executive at eMarketSouth, Spires Gibson but you can call him Spy. (for those of you wondering … Spires is a family name) Spy comes to us from the Statesboro area where he was raised and attended college.

Bloggers Rule the World
Well, maybe that’s not completely true, but read a number of blogs and you might start to see the power they hold. In a lunch lecture I attended yesterday, the speaker, who owns her own PR firm, admitted that bloggers are evil creatures, often causing havoc for her clients.
The Cranes have Come to Town!
If you have been in the Savannah area for any length of time or on the east coast recently, you know that the fastest growing port is right here in our very own backyard.

Location, location, location that has always been a catchphrase in real estate and it holds a great truth. I have just returned from the island of Grand Cayman and can we talk about location?
Social Networking Sites Are Bridging the Generation Gap
I can remember when my mom and dad and their friends would call me for computer help on a regular basis. My favorite story was my junior year of college when my mom called me to come home to Tybee because the sound was broken. I drove over an hour from my apartment in Statesboro just to turn on the speaker.

Your Domain Name - It’s Not Just for Your Friends
Your domain name is just as important as your home address. You have house numbers on the curb, your mailbox, or somewhere visible to make it easy for emergency services to find you. Your domain name should be just as easy.
What Does Your eMail Address Say About You?
Your email address. For many, it is a lifeline for their business contacts. But the address you have printed on your business card and literature says more about you than just how to make contact.
Twas the night before Christmas. . .
and all through the web, people look at the sites to see what was said. The keywords were nestled, all snug in the code; while servers were whirling to carry the load. People shopped with their cards and emailed their friends and wondered what happened to pencils and pens.

The Hurricane Season that Wasn’t
Once again, good ole Savannah has been spared the wrath of hurricane season. After the chaos of evacuation in Hurricane Floyd in 1999, we all realized so much more needed to be done proactively to prepare ourselves in the event of another evacuation.

Protect Your Kids
When you have kids, it seems this time of year you go into over gear in keeping them safe. You carry around gallons of hand sanitizer in hopes of keeping them well.

Today is a special day for us to take reflection and honor the men and women who have given of their time and their lives to protect our freedoms. We probably all know a Veteran in our own lives, but how much thought have we given to their actual sacrifices?
Friends Don’t Submit Friends to Spam
It’s a matter of courtesy. If someone you know asks for a friend’s phone number, you don’t give it out without first checking with the friend, right? But how many of us have ended up on email lists without having ever asked to be?
