Benefits of multi-language web sites

E-mail Print PDF

This is to let you know about some support available for Cornish companies from UKTI (UK Trade and Investment) to translate the text of your web site, in order to market more effectively to potential customers overseas.

If you are interested in selling to foreign language markets, there are more advantages than you might think.

In addition to just being available to be searched and read by more people, there is an interesting benefit in search engines. The largest part of the Internet is written English. This means there is less competition for phrases in other languages.  So if you find it hard to rank top for a phrase like “Hotel Cornwall” in Google, there is yet hope for easier top rankings for “Gasthaus Cornwall”, or “Pensione Cornwall”.  (Search numbers will be lower, but if you are top, the visitors are still coming to you).

E-mail Print PDF

Our popular one day Internet Marketing course has been re-scheduled for July the 1st.

The course had to be moved from its date in June to fit in the schedule of its sponsors DPN (Digital Peninsula network), who are the organisation responsible for making free of charge places available to qualifying Cornish Businesses.

The course has helped a large number of Cornish businesses to succeed and grow online, successfully de-mystifying essential modern marketing techniques including Search Engine optimisation, Social Media marketing, the "right" kind of web sites for attracting traffic, Email marketing, making Google AdWords and PPC advertising work effectively, Analytics, blogging, link building and much more.

The course is aimed at a range of businesses including:

  • the new web site owner with a DIY approach
  • designers wishing to incorporate SEO in their work
  • mature businesses looking for new information and understanding before hiring web marketing professionals.

If you are looking for help developing your business using the web, you can find out more by visiting the Internet marketing course page, or contact us for an application form.

 

 

Next Internet Marketing Course on June 17th

E-mail Print PDF

We are delighted to announce that the date for our next Internet Marketing Course has been fixed for June the 17th. (Changed now to July 1st, see following article)

Whether you are a business owner looking to maximise the ROI from your web site, or a designer looking to understand how to help your clients rank higher in Google, our well established course can help you to understand the potential of your business on the web, and how you can get there.

Our premise is that much of Internet marketing is non-technical, meaning that you can do it yourself.  A successful web site relies more than anything on an active and participative owner, someone who engages with their visitors on the site and using the Social Media channels, and brings their web site to life.

New Diesel Tuning web site goes live.

E-mail Print PDF
Well we burned the midnight oil last night, and went live with the new web site for Diesel Tuning UK, a great business run by Andrew Pawley in County Durham.

Having build web sites before for Andrew and done quite a bit of web marketing to support his business we already had a good working relationship (I hope!), but this site was a little different to say the least. The difficulty if you can call it that, is that the old site though a bit rough round the edges was already generating really good business for Diesel Tuning UK, and while upgrading the site we had to do so by evolution rather than revolution, so as to ensure there was no prospect of losing the good rankings that the site had already developed.
 

Social Media integration just got better - Twitter and Linked-In

E-mail Print PDF
Good news for Social Media followers is that Linked-in and Twitter have now announced a long overdue integration between the two sites.

For some while it has been possible to post your content to one Social Media web site and then feed it through a number of others via a network of integrations and data feeds. What matters to the business owner is that they can achieve coverage through more networks and to more people, while minimising the workload on themselves - after all why post the same thing 10 times, when you can post it once and have the machine do the work?
