Did you know … Your site might be violating the website standards set by the online authority for website coding!

This can be costing your web business credibility in your marketplace and also with the Web’s biggest players online – who YOU DEPEND ON … like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and more.

If you care about being compliant and want to be a leader in your Industry and Market, check your website code is compliant with the Web Consortium- the Global Web Standards and Guidelines bodies (headed up by the inventor of the w-w-web, Tim Berners-Lee).

This video explains the history and purpose of the W3 Consortium:

Visit their site, check your home page url.  If you have errors, get your webmaster to fix them pronto!

This is costing you credibility with the Web’s biggest center’s of influence. http://validator.w3.org – there is no excuse for poor coding – NONE!

Your site’s poor coding could be wasting your hard-earned time and money in ‘trying to win the respect’ of the search engines and others.  Take the presentation of your web business seriously – it’s not only important to have a good LOOKING website for marketplace credibility, it’s equally important (and maybe even more important) to gain the respect of the biggest players online today by having your coding LOOKING right too.

Have A Great Day – from Jen and the Team at Web Business Academy.

ONE WEB DAY – 22 SEPTEMBER is that day!

Attention Forward-Thinking Web Business Owners – Lead the Way with Internet Access and Improvements!

Stop for a moment and think about how you got to this website.  You came to your computer – connected to the internet and your serfing led you to this page.  Access on the internet for many of us is done so easily and readily we forget the privilege of the process and access we have and the power we possess with a medium and media such as the World Wide Web.  Access and power like you have as a web user and more importantly as a web business owner is a challenge for many still, for various reasons.   In particular there are entire places in the world where resources, access and therefore power is limited and in some cases non-existent.

As a web business owner you may be thinking this has nothing to do with you.  You could quite easily ignore ‘the bigger picture’ and just think only about you and your web site.  On the other hand, Forward-thinking Web Business owners who want more traffic understand that if you can be part of making the web and your website more accessible to more people YOU and your Web Business will benefit.  The true impact of the power and influence you possess lies in understanding this basic truth about the internet and world-wide-web:

“Peoples’ lives now are as dependent on the Internet as they are on the basic services and provisions like roads, energy supplies and running water. We can no longer take that for granted, and we must advocate for the Internet politically and support its vitality personally.”

This video, although a tad cheesy says it well:

An official day – ONE WEB DAY – has now been created to celebrate, educate and activate ways to make getting on the web and using it easier for everyone.

Background Snap-shot of One Web Day.

In 2006, Susan Crawford, Cyberlaw Scholar and now Technology Policy Advisor to President Obama, launched the concept of One Web Day – a day for those in a position of power and influence, including Web Business owners, to consider what we can do to contribute to making the internet and world wide web more accessible – both for you as a web user and also as a website owner.

Taken from the official OneWebDay (OWD) website – www.OneWebDay.org – It’s like an Earth Day but for the internet. The idea behind OneWebDay is to focus attention on a key internet value, focus attention on local internet concerns (connectivity, censorship, individual skills), and create a global constituency that cares about protecting and defending the internet.  So, think of OneWebDay as an environmental movement for the Internet ecosystem. It’s a platform for people to educate and activate others about issues that are important for the Internet’s future.

At the same time, we’re suffering from enormous digital divides. Lower-income and rural communities don’t have adequate connectivity. Senior citizens and minorities are often left out. Skills are inadequate, and there is a lot of fear of using the Internet still to be overcome.

OWD is an annual global celebration of the Internet and Web Business owners are perfectly positioned to be a part of the future direction and experience people will have when you and they use the net.

Here’s some remarks from true web industry leaders, (your equals in web business) and their perspective on One Web Day …

Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist, said: “OneWebDay reminds us that the net really is a democratizing medium, that everyone gets a chance to participate. If you want, you can stick your neck out and speak truth to power.”

Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, added: “OneWebDay is about ‘one web’… Let’s celebrate, and let’s constantly work to make more, better, cleaner, stronger, deeper interoperability across the planet.”

—————————————————————————————————————————–

The evolution of the internet will continue around you.  Today is your day to be a part of the future direction it takes by completing a few simple steps.

How You can Help Improve the Web on OneWebDay

1. Update or Upgrade Your Web Browser. Use a standards-compliant Web browser like Firefox or Opera. They’re free, fast, and protective of your privacy. And because they conform to Web development standards, they make things easier for people who make Web sites.
2. Test your websites are compliant with the w3c’s Markup Validation Service.  This ensures they are easy for search engines and vision-impaired people to accurately ‘read’ your web pages.  If you have errors in your website coding, get this fixed by your webmaster pronto!
3. Edit a Wikipedia article. Teach people what you know, and in doing so, help create free universal knowledge.
4. Take steps to ensure that your computer can’t be treated like a zombie. Computer viruses can steal your personal information. They can also cause major network outages on the Web, slowing things down and making sites inaccessible. Vint Cerf estimates that more than 150 million PCs have already been zombified, and are now awaiting their next order, which is designed to harm you and others too. To learn more about the threat of zombie computers, read this article.
5. Help someone get an advert on the web – this will be a good way of doing service for someone to experience online exposure for the first time and promote that they consider getting a web presence too.
6. Join the Web Business Academy client community:- Claim your free gift to our global ‘one day web success workshops’ and learn cutting-edge site and selling strategies and tactics and become an affiliate and help us promote the Web Success Wizard – ‘easy to do’ website creation and management tools.
7. Contribute to the Official One Web Day Cause. Visit the site, make a donation and sign the pledge to end the digitial-divide between us and people less fortunate.

And if you want to do more than that, think about how you can use this as a marketing tool for your customers too.  An example of this is happening today in the Phillipines - I-CAFÉ Pilipinas, an umbrella organization of internet shop associations, will invite internet shops nationwide to offer FREE tutorials for an hour, or even one whole day on Sept. 22.  So webshop owners will be encouraged to share something for free as part of the One Web Day celebration.  What could you do too that will also be an effective marketing strategy to generate new customers, while supporting OneWebDay?

“The web has transformed the way we do business and has helped us empower thousands of people around the world – Quicker, Cheaper and Easier than ANY other communications medium and media EVER in the history of business.  That’s worth Celebrating, Nurturing, Influencing … and Protecting!”

GET YOUR SITE ON GOOGLE (And Discover There’s a WHOLE LOT MORE than Just Adding Your Website to Google)

To kick things off, we have some great news!  Inclusion in Google’s search results is free and easy; you don’t even need to submit your site to Google. Google is a fully automated search engine that uses software known as “spiders” to crawl the web on a regular basis – to find sites to add to their index. In fact, the vast majority of sites listed in their results aren’t manually submitted for inclusion, but found and added automatically when their spiders crawl the web.

However, if your site offers specialized products, content, or services (for example, video content, local business info, or product listings) AKA you’re own a Web Business, you can reach out to the world-wide-web by distributing your specialized knowledge and details of your products and services on the Google’s Search Results (known as SERPS). There are a number of ways to do that (more than just submitting your URL, which is what everyone tells you to do).  Make sure you finish this entire article but go to Google Content Central right now and discover a world of great opportunities to get listed with Google.  Bookmark this article page by us though so you can easily get back to it – there’s very important information on here you absolutely must know.

To determine whether your site is currently included in Google’s index, do a site: search for your site’s URL. For example, a search for [ site:google.com ] returns the following results: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Agoogle.com .

Although Google crawls billions of pages, it’s inevitable that some sites will be missed. When our spiders miss a site, it’s frequently for one of the following reasons: (more…)

It’s fast approaching “Beer O’Clock” at Web Business Academy Head Office … so it’s time for our Friday Techno Funny and I love sharing these with you too. We toast you every Friday “Here’s To Our Web Friends“.

This week’s Techno Funny is for the more ‘mature’ among us that remember and probably used Typewriters at work before companies started transitioning to desktop computers across the office – today that’s expected (and a laptop).

Well, I remember learning to type in High School, it was a fav subject of me and my girlfriends because we learned to type to music (which played on a record player in the corner – 45 singles they were and Michael Jackson was a regular on the turn table).  

Who else remembers transitioning to a computer and perhaps your first time using one?

This very short vid will give you a bit of a laugh as you greatly appreciate the mistake she’s about to make. …. Have a Fun, Safe and Memorable weekend. Enjoy and Share your comments below!

WITH LOVE TO THOSE WHO SEEM TO HAVE

GREATER THAN GOD-LIKE POWERS!

Today’s Techno Funny is dedicated to all the people around the world that help ordinary people like us combat our fears and master the operation of technology. Many of today’s internet and computer users are 35+ and were never exposed to computers until adulthood, putting us in a state of fear and confusion over new ways to live and do business.

So we hope you enjoy today’s Help Desk skit – (English translation is at the top of the screen).

Recently we held a  tele-class where we explained How You Link together your Website Blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Digg and iTunes into one automated marketing strategy for free leads from the Social Engines but also for the Search Engines (and the Spender Engine of iTunes too). 

This gives your blog posts massive online exposure and we urge you to get hold of the recording asap and review the strategy. 

To provide you with all the ‘pieces of the blogging / social engine / search engine / spender engine strategy, our tech team have been working all week on upgrading your Blog so you can take advantage of this new strategy and boost your business to new levels. 

Without going into all the ‘techo’ details (leave that for our team to take care of for you) a quick snapshot of some of the benefits to you from what our guys have done (all with our compliments):

* Your Blog is updated with all the latest ‘plugins’ which will help generate more traffic.

* Direct connections to the social network sites (by helping link your blog to sites such as twitter and facebook).  Make sure you have set up your Facebook and Twitter accounts if you haven’t already.  It’s all FREE.

* More community involvement by implementing a more effective comments box, making it easier to build relationships and get the search engines reward you.

* Even Faster to use with the new blog admin layout requiring less clicks to get the job done.

* Enhanced security and s~pam control.

There are more fantastic benefits to you from what the team has done with this project but the best way to be able to utilize this is to firstly listen to the Teleseminar recorded on this topic (go to the “Live Coaching” link in your Wizard) and start taking the right action.

We wish you great success as you move forward … beyond 2010.

 DISCOVER HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR ADWORDS COSTS, REACH AND RESULTS, with Armand Morin

We recently surveyed our clients and asked them “What do you want to learn more about in the next 4-6 weeks to improve your web business?”  Overwhelming people responded wanting to know about Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc, and in 2nd place, web business owners wanted to know more about how to improve their performance on Google Adwords, the Pay-Per-Click advertising system.

This is one that gets alot of people when you’re first starting out advertising and marketing online.  I totally understand that cause I remember being the same when I first started.  There are many ways to be right on Adwords and many ways to be wrong – and lose alot of money (ask Chris Noriss who blew $25,000 on Adwords before joining our program, yes that is not a misprint, Chris told his story at our Feb 2008 event, we were all shocked).  Dont let that happen to you … read on and find out more …

My mentor Armand Morin has put together a program about his latest ‘tricks’ on Adwords that might be of interest to you.  He offers a Free Report that I recommend you grab right away. 

You can get his report right now, right here:
