Injection of Malicious Code

This is a common practice of hackers and spammers across the world. Hackers will discover a vulnerability on your site and use it to their advantage. Out dated sites and old code are usually the top reasons why someone has gained access to your files. We’ve seen many hackers redirect sites to their own, post links in obscure places, and attach malicious code for your visitors to download. All of this equals bad news for your brand and website.

Reporting Spam

Anyone can report spam. It’s useful when you are legitimately reporting spam, but can be detrimental when you’re a legit company not practicing anything wrong in the way of marketing. With enough reports, your site will indeed suffer and could potentially face a serious ranking reduction. Websites like Google Maps utilize a review section that lets the public rate your business from 1-5 stars.  Personal attacks from other local businesses may have an effect; however, we’ve seen sites receive lower rank due to “5 star ratings” as well.  You must be careful not to attract the “Spam” label to your website. Other aspects including your IP block and domain name are taken into consideration.

The Look and Feel

If Google came to your site, what would they think? Would they consider it “spammy?” If your answer is no, then you’re fine (maybe). Otherwise, you might want to think about what you can do to make it seem less like a sales pitch, and more like a quality informational site.  If Google thinks your site is quality, chances are you are not on their radar to be reduced in rank. This also works in your favor against hackers.

The fix

You probably have an idea of what to do now that you’re aware of the potential negatives on your website. First, create a secure environment for your site. Lock it down, keep it up to date, and change your passwords. Don’t post spam and don’t let others talk about you publicly. Be in control of your web presence by claiming your maps page and places page. Reviews and other negative information can be moderated by you. Make your content unique and useful. If Google looked at your website would they be happy to have you on their index, or ashamed?

Tablet sales are at an all time high, which means tablet repairs are too. Tablets are sleek, powerful, and light to carry around. However, they’re all vulnerable in the same way — the screen. One drop on the floor could mean devastation to that beautiful screen, which is where our team at Net Works comes into action. Our trained technicians have specialized tools to open and repair tablets that have suffered from falls, water damage, poor battery life, etc.

Net Works Inc. is proud to offer repairs on:

• iPads
• Android Tablets
• Web OS Tablets
• Windows 7 Tablets
• and More…

To get started, please give us a call at 386-248-0000 or fill out our repair request form. Due to the proprietary nature of tablets, we will more than likely require time to order the part needed. This process can take up to 7 business days on average.

If you’d rather be in control of your content, we provide consultation services to make sure you are making the correct decisions.

Images Are Good not Evil

Images are often frowned upon by web designers, but as the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words”. Our team can help embed more content behind existing images on your site, or create content behind images on a new project.

Flash is Evil

It’s best to not use Flash if you’re trying to market to the widest audience possible. Flash content and text is not search engine friendly, and it often keeps your from achieving the rank you deserve.

Our email newsletter Tech Talk is filled with hardware and software reviews, tips and tricks, security alerts, a bit of humor, and much more. Look for briefs on important computer related news and ideas you need to know.

In this issue of Tech Talk, we will discuss how often you should be updating your website, the benefits of doing so, and how Search Engines rank you in the process.

• ECommerce – Try to entice your shoppers by placing seasonal/intelligent promotions on the home page or landing pages of your site. The refreshed content and promotions will mean a lot to repeat customers, especially those who periodically check your site for the latest deals. A quick look at your analytics data will reveal how many of your visitors are repeat or first-timers. Ecommerce sites should be updated weekly.
• Referral and Lead-Generating Sites – Sites built to generate leads depend on engaging ways to collect that information. We recommend updating your website with nice contact forms and social sharing buttons, so you may collect data and create “buzz” within social circles. Referral sites are rarely updated, maybe once every 3 months.
• Corporate Website – Even if your business has nothing to do with the web, doesn’t sell products online, or facilitate transactions online, a website is still the onlne representation of your business. Being stale is the last thing you want your business to be known for. We recommend updating your corporate website monthly. Typically with company news and events.
• Community Websites – The best way to regularly update your website is to involve the community itself. Community websites should be updated very often — if not daily. The easiest way is to setup a form and use social networking to get conversations started on your site. Forums are a great way to keep the conversations going.  

When Google introduced “Panda” in February 2011, it changed everything. The update filtered out sites that were not of high quality, and lowered the rankings of sites that were not actively updating their content.

Since the update we’ve seen many tactics to raise your ranking on Google, but the best one by far is blogging. If setup correctly, a blog can increase your traffic and it can help your website rank for more keywords. Here are a few blogging tips:

• Keep content relevant
• Update regularly
• Promote products within articles
• Link to other pages within articles
• Use attractive images
• Consider video blogging

In combination with blogging, we recommend distributing your posts to social networks automatically through the use of RSS feeds. This method of distribution guarantees that each of your pages and posts are shared to a wide audience — giving your site more exposure than ever. Check out the website of the month to learn more about content distribution.

Not all search engines work alike, but most of them use similar algorithms to determine your site’s ranking on the web. Keeping your content fresh and up-to-date will not only appease search engines, but it will keep your customers coming back to see what’s new. There are other aspects which determine your search engine ranking, however, creating fresh content is a great place to start.
