Real time search is getting a lot of attention lately. Google, Twitter, Facebook and a bunch of startups are tackling real time search of tweets and Facebook posts.
For you as a site owner, it means that if you tweet (post messages on twitter), they will be indexed and they will increase the count of links pointing back to your site. Therefore, we recommend you tweet frequently as it will increase your relevance and it will help you rank higher on the search engines.
This is a link to an article with best practices for tweeting: Click here
I highly recommend you use this free and powerful mechanism to market your website and your products and services.
Have a great day.

It is disturbing to see companies like Domain Renewal Group operating in the United States. I just got a letter sent home from them referencing one of my Web Piston website’s domain. They say the domain is going to expire and that I should send them $30.
BEWARE of the SCAM. At Web Piston we renew your domains automatically. You do not need to renew it. If you fall for the scam, they register your domain and they become your registrar. Can we raise some awareness about this?
I found many articles online about them:

Clearly explains the scam: http://www.davidrisley.com/2008/11/03/screw-you-domain-renewal-group/

If you get any letters like the one I got I highly recommend you disregard them.
Thanks.

As we all know, building a nice and professional website is the first step to start sales and leads for your business. However, almost more important than the site itself, is the ability for your potential clients to find it in the search engines.

I just read an article on CNN Money that is critically important for small business owners. In a nutshell, search engines have allowed small business owners to compete with large corporations in a way that was not available before.
By “democratizing” the distribution channel they have allowed small businesses to compete and spawn innovation in every industry.
I think you will find the article interesting: Click here for the CNN Money Article
