Google “Caffeine” is the code name for the latest Google search engine which is rumored to be a major update for their website. Additionally, Google announced that it has begun indexing Twitter content, if that is the right description for the 140 character communications sent on that social marketing site. While pseudo-celebrities can get into the White House without an invitation or security clearance, the Google algorithms are truly a well guarded secret that thousands of search engine optimization companies speculate on and would love to have. What does all of this information mean for search engine optimization (seo) customers and blog readers on http://nvhost.com/ – let me tell you what we’ve seen first-hand as we don’t believe in speculation.

Google Changes – Search Engine Optimization
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009Bing – SEO
Monday, October 12th, 2009In the search engine wars, Microsoft has been nowhere to be found when it comes to market share. In fact, they nearly spent over $40 billion to buy Yahoo which is a distant competitor to Google which owns about a 75% market share of searches. Why? The search business is very profitable for the companies in the industry and for the companies, hopefully like yours, that show up on the first page of search results because that is where the customer decides who wins and who loses in the battle for their business dollars. In the latest battle for search engine market share, Microsoft has launched a new search engine called Bing and everyone is reviewing the information.
Building Profitable Email Lists
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009As most of us pursue our business interests online, a clean professional website design goes a long way to being successful. However, the best website design can mean little if you don’t have traffic visiting your website. Traffic alone won’t do it but traffic that is interested enough in your business to purchase your goods and services. We’ve spent a great deal of time in the past writing about professional website design and search engine optimization, SEO for short, so now we will cover using social sites in a different way to drive traffic to your website. Once that traffic has visited your site, the key is for your professional web design to keep them interested enough in your company to spend time on your website to learn about your business and then sign up for your newsletter so that you can target them with messages to remind them that you can be a key resource to fill their needs.
Closets & Website Design – Spring Cleaning 2009
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Spring is our favorite season of the year. Spring is a time when temperatures rise and it is a time for natural renewal. Spring is also a time when our homes get focus and are cleaned, especially closets, and it should be a time to take a renewed look at your online business. Is your website design proudly taking your business to the web or have you removed your website address from your business cards because you don’t want anyone to see your web design? The internet is far too valuable to have your website design tell your customers, or potential customers, that you aren’t serious about your business and we are here to help with some advice.
A Car Without An Engine? Website SEO Part 1
Friday, May 1st, 2009As a full service web development company, we have the opportunity to see a wide range of customers with unique website issues. One of the most common reasons that customers come to us is because they are disappointed in their previous website designer, web host, or custom programmer created a beautiful website for $5,000, far more than we charge, but no customers show up. The website design of their site chocked full of all of the latest bells and whistles. However, the problem isn’t what is included, it is what isn’t included! If you’ve paid a website designer to create a site but you’ve never heard about search engine optimization, SEO for short, then you just bought a “car” without an engine. An engineless car can’t drive 90 miles an hour and a website without proper SEO won’t generate traffic to the site in most cases.
NVHOST.com Supports Retired Football Greats
Sunday, April 12th, 2009The big game is just around the corner and it is a time of year that we are all reminded of the great professional football history our nation has. However, when the games end and the lights turn off, what happens to our heroes from years gone by? Lucky retired football players go on to broadcasting careers, start their own companies, or become sales or spokespeople. Other players just fade into their lives and are forced to deal with debilitating injuries suffered during their playing days; the less fortunate players living in relative poverty and many without proper medical coverage. These players have given so much to us that it is now time for us to give back!
