Security Tips for Small Business

You have great products, a great site, superb customer service…but do you have security in place to protect yourself and your customers? All of the technical mumbo-jumbo can seem confusing and overwhelming at first, but it’s important to tackle it head on and not sweep it under the rug. The Better Business Bureau has created an easy to understand document to help explain the details: Security & Privacy Made Simpler

The importance of Backlinking

SEO can seem like a daunting task, but articles like “Backlinking – Why Search Engines Think It’s Important” from the Vertical Response Marketing Blog help to make sense of it all.

What is Backlinking?

Plain and simple it is what it sounds like – getting other web sites to link back to your web site.

But the search engines don’t just count the number of backlinks you have, they QUALIFY them.

Google and other popular search engines use a ranking algorithm (which is a closely guarded secret that Sergey & Larry probably don’t even know) to evaluate the quality of incoming links, page rank of the linking site, the content on the site or blog linking in, the link text, and a whole host of additional criteria, to determine the value of that link to the search engine.

Bottom line? You don’t just want anyone linking into your site, you want the right kind of site with the right type of link.

Business Resources and Articles

I have been compiling a list of business resources and articles that I have run across. I thought it would be helpful to many of you out there to have a list like this. You can find tips on search engine optimization, buying a domain name, and numerous resources for purchasing business related supplies. If anyone has a great resource that they feel would be a welcome addition to my list, please leave me a comment and include it.

I will be updating the list as I find new resources – be sure to check back often. Thanks and enjoy the list!
