If you have your own Web site, one of the most important things you can do to generate traffic is to submit it to the top dozen or so search engines. When you do this (every search engine has instructions), you'll be asked to supply key words that users might enter to find your site. These key words can also be entered into the HTML code of your Web page. The objective is to try to think of terms that users might enter into a search engine to find what you're offering. So, if you're selling Nonstandard Auto insurance, you would supply key words and phrases that most consumers might use — not the jargon used in our industry. It's unlikely that someone with a substandard driving record would enter "Nonstandard Auto insurance" in a search engine. They'd probably use such terms as "car insurance," "cheap car insurance," "insurance for bad drivers," "SR22," and so ...

... x No Thanks Loading.. Engineering Controls 4/30/2013 by CompleteMarkets Editor This content has not been rated yet. Fact Sheet No. OSHA 93-48 Lead Exposure in Construction ENGINEERING CONTROLS Because lead is a cumulative and persistent toxic substance and because lead-caused health effects may result from low levels of exposure over prolonged periods of time, engineering controls and good work practices must be used where feasible to minimize employee exposure to lead. At a minimum, exposures must not exceed the OSHA interim final PEL of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air (50 ug/m (3 )) averaged over an eight-hour-period. When feasible engineering controls and work practice controls cannot reduce worker exposure to lead to at or below 50 ug/m (3 ), respirators must be used to supplement the use of engineering and work practice controls. A competent person should review all site operations and stipulate the specific engineering controls and work practices designed to reduce worker exposure to lead. Engineering measures include local and general exhaust ventilation, process and equipment modification, material substitution, component replacement, and isolation or automation. Examples of recommended engineering controls that can be used to reduce worker exposure to lead are as follows: Exhaust Ventilation Power tools used for the removal of lead-based paint should be equipped with dust collection shrouds or other attachments exhausted through a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum system. Operations such as welding, cutting/burning, heating should be provided with local exhaust ventilation. HEPA vacuums should be used during clean-up activities. For abrasive blasting operations where full containment exists or is required, the containment ...

So, in designing your Web pages and submitting them to search engines, you have to think of what a consumer might be looking for. Conversely, when you're searching for something, it helps to think of how that information might be displayed on a site that has the information you want. You can't rely on the site having figured out what you're looking for. This requires some creative thought and experimentation. It also helps to know ...

Optimize Press Releases For Search Engines 5/24/2013 by CompleteMarkets Editor , Marcia Yudkin 1 Verified Reviews - 5 of 5.0 1 2 3 4 5 Press releases, when used properly, can attract prospects as effectively as advertising. But do you know how to optimize them for the Internet? In this document, Marcia Yudkin describes how you can improve the likelihood that your press releases will reach the audience you're targeting. Getting invaluable media coverage is a process I described in my 1994 book, Six Steps to Free Publicity. Although the basics in the process of pursuing publicity remain the same, many of the finer points have changed. If you've begun using online publicity distribution services to disseminate your releases to the media, or even if you post press releases on your own Web site, you'll get a much greater publicity return when you modify releases so that they show up in online searches by your target audience. The light bulb went off for me when I was searching for specialized software and came upon a press release for such a product, rather than the company's regular marketing copy, at its Web site. Links in the press release led me to the software manufacturer's Web site. It occurred to me that in addition to the audience of journalists, editors, and producers who had opted to receive releases in their areas of interest, press releases could address the needs of a second group: individuals who are using search engines to find specialized products, services, and information. I researched techniques that would make a difference in finding press releases through ...

Here are a few basic search engine optimization (SEO) tips that can help your agency Web site become more visible to top search engines and benefit from a higher page ranking. Although you might think you know basic SEO, we all need reminders of its importance to our business success. Remember that search engines rank individual Web site pages as well. These little things might not mean much by themselves, but together they add up to results that can really help your search engine ranking. While you might think SEO is important for your Web site, ranking is important for each individual page. Each page has its own rank in the search engines; the entire site is only one element in the ranking. The three strongest elements to a page are its Domain Name, Title Tag, and Back Links. Depending on the level of competition for your search phrase, an adjustment to any of these can increase your page anywhere from a few up to hundreds of spots. Domain Name: Include keywords, if possible; however, don't; make it "spammy" with too much hyphenation! Be sure to include the word "insurance" in your agency Web site. For niche marketing sites, a good rule of thumb is no more than two hyphens. If you're creating a niche site for florist shop insurance, and all the "good" domain names are taken, you consider florist-shop-insurance.com; however, I wouldn't ...

Agencies large and small have embraced the Web as a place to have a presence. Fewer, however, have really figured out how to cost effectively market online. The folks at Web Advantage have come up with several ideas on how to execute online marketing with a limited budget. Jack Fries shares eight tips that can help your agency. Search Engine and Directory Submittals: Search engines, the third most often used way that people find Web sites, are the source of up to 85% of all site traffic. Aside from Yahoo and LookSmart, most search engines allow you to submit your Web site at no charge. Paid-For Search Engine Listings: The advantage to programs such as those offered by Overture and Google Ad Words Select are that their top search engine results are also syndicated across other search engines — so as a top bidder, you get even more exposure for your dollars. Costs vary by search term. Site Linking: Getting other Web sites to link to yours is not only free, but can also help with your search engine rankings, since many search engines factor "link popularity" in the relevancy of their search results. E-Mail Signature File: "Sig files," which automatically appear at the bottom of every e-mail you send , are like little text billboards that help you promote your agency. Auto-Responders: These automated e-mails can be a very helpful (and inexpensive) way ...

Believing that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, why not call them up and ask? Or have someone else do it. "We're thinking of doing business with your company, and we'd like to look at your Web site first, if you have one. Can you tell us what it is?" &# 160 If they have one, they'll probably be happy to tell you what it is. &# 160 SITE-FINDING 101 &# 160 If, for some reason, you don't want to do that, here's an easy way to find their site. Go to the Google search engine, at http://www.google.com . Put in the company's name and the city, and press Enter or the Google Search button. If you're at a computer, try this: Put in Johnson Plumbing Fayetteville. There are companies called Johnson Plumbing all over the country, and your first guess at a URL would probably have been johnsonplumbing.com, which would have been the wrong one. Save time and let Google do the work (note that I didn't suggest using a state. You have no way of knowing whether Johnson used AR, ARK, or Arkansas on its site, but you can be reasonably sure that it did include the city) . &# 160 SITE MAPS &# 160 Some sites are small, and others are very large.

... , not the percentage), and 95% of the consumers who visit a website don't buy anything. Even so, the most basic site, whether offering a product or a service, can generate sales over the Web. Just having a website communicates something positive about a firm, which can influence a buying decision. That said, it's important to establish priorities early on. The key people involved in your site have to have a realistic expectation of why you built the site and whether it's for E-commerce, brand building, or both. Where there's a Web, there's a way. Once you've established your site's purpose and balanced its purchasing, product promotion, and informing functions (selling, yelling, and telling), the next step is to attract customers to your site. Search engines are a valuable way to lead prospects to your firm's website. A search engine craze has swept the interactive nation, causing companies to obsess about the rankings. Yet, according to a study of 11 major search engines by Steve Lawrence and C. Lee Giles of the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, NJ, search engines cover only about 16% of cyberspace. Translation: 84% of the world's Web's pages won't be found by anyone using those engines, so promoting your site via traditional methods is far more effective in terms of time and money. In addition to search engines, use print, broadcast, and outdoor advertising, direct mail, word of mouth, internal signage, and other conventional marketing activities and vehicles. Getting content with your content. Despite the trend to load ...
