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.

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.

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 …
