			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a massive growth in SEO marketing companies which claim to improve your search rankings. However, what are you really getting for your money?</p>
<p>What is success? Is it &#8230;.</p>
<ul>
<li>Moving from Page Rank 1 to Page Rank 2?</li>
<li>Increase in traffic volumes?</li>
<li>Increase in (web) sales?</li>
</ul>
<p>Without having a clear idea of what you want the SEO company to achieve for their fee, how will know if they have been successful?</p>
<p>A good SEO company should have a good Page Rank themselves, after all, if they cannot get a good ranking for themselves, how can they be sure they can do it for your company. Also, their testimonials should have a good Page Ranking or explain how the SEO company improved their business.</p>
<p>Without carrying out this due diligence, the lack of results some 3-6 months later may be the outcome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Retailers and Wholesalers, have you considered entering or expanding your reach of products over the Internet?</p>
<p>Would you like to add another sales channel to your business?</p>
<p>Many businesses realise having a presence on the Web is important nowadays, but many companies still do not realise the full earnings potential of an Internet sales channel. It is now possible to establish a sales team (agents) who are motivated to sell your products for minimal cost.</p>
<p>With systems integration and hosted solutions, systems can be updated in realtime, thereby ensuring your customer service is maintained throughout the sales process.  Customers demand more from the retailer, from the comfort of their home they can view your competitors price, availability and service.</p>
<p>With this business challenge in mind, I am working on an business initiative with a technology company that can maximise your business on a risk-and-reward basis. So if you are interested in expanding your reach and branding on the Internet, then get in touch today. Have a look at <a href="http://www.paceretail.co.uk" title="Pace Retail">Pace Retail</a> and <a href="http://www.pacecommerce.co.uk" title="Pace Commerce">Pace Commerce</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>
<p>The new website is taking shape and the addition of this blog should add a bit more interest to the site.</p>
<p>Having 29 years in the IT industry (my first computer had 8k of memory, so overlay programming was a necessity, these young&#8217;uns have never had it so good, no I&#8217;m not a grumpy old guy I just have a sense of humour), working on a variety of commercial systems over the years with a spell out with one of the big consultancy firms has given me a broad range of business and technology skills. Buy me a pint and I&#8217;ll tell all.  </p>
<p>Getting back to the plot, as the Internet capacity to deliver faster and cheaper information point-2-point increases, many people fail to take advantage of what it could do for their business. Traditional thinking on building interfaces to disparate systems and reprocessing the information into many different formats is still perpetuated.</p>
<p>Looking at turning-the-terminal around, and get the supplier/customer to do the data entry, saves administration time, but also empowers the person inputting the information when  they want to. Trading hubs and messaging hubs, linked with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery, means new ways of working can be introduced cost effectively.</p>
<p>Internet business is expanding rapidly, so the need for good quality Webshops (shopping carts) and transactional websites is becoming an increasing priority in virtually all businesses.</p>
<p>Well that&#8217;s a taster of what my Blog will contain, but I cannnot gaurantee that I won&#8217;t introduce some other topics which &#8216;can make a difference&#8217;. </p>
<p>Always looking for businesses and/or people with a need to &#8216;think out of the box&#8217; to make a step change to their business. Drop me a line or add a comment to my Blog. General advice and tips available on my Blog, but no multi-million pound secrets divulged.  </p>
<p>Regards </p>
<p>Robert.</p>
<p>Enjoy your life &#8230; I think you only get one. </p>
