bpo24hour.com our latest project.

bpo24hour

Doing the website for BPO24hour.com added some new interesting things to make the site more accessible to visitors. The site is primarily used for raising the profile of the company and as such being a customer orientated business they have added a lot of friendly additions.

Bottom right you see a live chat window during working hours which is soon to become 24 hours a day support for the site not only for new clients but also existing.

YouTube videos were also a big addition to the site to not only drive traffic to the site but also to give the company a “face” and internet presence as well as talk about the services provided.

This isn’t where it stopped though as there are multiple international numbers and live Skype buttons that tell you when relevant people are online. The company is well aware that in the Industry “getting the boss” can sometimes be difficult so adding these features means that if your in work, your PC is on and so is your phone and Skype! So that you can always be reached.

Adding to that knowing people like to hear their agents they want to hire, a new page has been generated with a photo and a brief recording of each agent so you can pick the person you think is most suitable to your contract.

It was an interesting project to do and looking forward to developing more things with BPO24hour.com as I know they have some sister websites currently in the making for their other ventures.

SEO is dead or maybe not?

matt wilkie,mattwilkie,tropicalpenpals,cebuexpat 002The game changed with Google as it seems it got tired with the spammers out there and started to look at things more aggressively. The adaption of having as many links as possible pointing to a website changed to looking at duplicates and bad web neighbourhoods. In fact Google did the world a favour by getting rid of a lot of the junk on the web and at the same time started to develop a more natural linking process that should have been happening anyway!

Truth is getting ranked got harder at the same time the quality has improved drastically as things started moving away from automation to manual linking and submissions.

SEO companies are still out there and the emphasis on social networking is now the big thing and this may be the next big hurdle for Google. Because instead of the SEO spamming that happened on links the emphasis will move to create multiple accounts and generating fake profiles on social networks to boost peoples sites in a completely different direction than before. Still it has improved the web so far which is showing its not as easy as it used to be.

But what about us how can we help your business develop an online presence? Well the first thing is due to social networking being the buzz thing on the web its a case of building your Twitter account, Facebook account, Tumblr and many other socially active website accounts but its not a 5 minute solution. The fact is search engines want traffic and data, only way to do that is daily, weekly,monthly updates of information. Which may not be for every one although some of this can be automated to make life easier but generally it needs manual management and processing.

We can do that and start to get your website ranked and noticed! Just drop us an email and we can discuss your online needs to see how we can start building your web presence.

Social networking and your business

Social networking has exploded on the internet and how it affects websites and businesses is often not obvious.

social networkingYou may see Facebook likes, Twitter followers and Google+ 1s but what are they really worth to a website and how is the search engines looking at this information?

Fact is the internet is constantly changing and browsing things have changed drastically from the old days and this has been down to the abuse by SEO people who manipulate the web. I believe that the rise of social networking has been done to try and reverse manipulated sites by getting you the user to engage more with sites than the search engines trying to combat manipulative SEO.

What is bad SEO? You can see it all over the web and without getting into too deep a detail you know the websites you go to after a Google search that have nothing you were looking for on them? Sometimes can be virtually blank pages. These have been manipulated on purpose to create traffic to those sites.

But you start adding things like social networking buttons to sites your not going to Facebook “Like” a page that isn’t there or fake are you? You won’t tell people about it in Twitter and generally you will shun bad websites.

This is the concept of social networking from the search engine point of view but that isn’t where it will stop. The fact is well written articles and related content will see not just a “Like” but your site appearing on the persons Facebook page. Adding a Tweet in Twitter can reach thousands of people directly. This is a fantastic marketing tool for a business and its only part of what you need to be doing as a business looking to develop online.

YouTube is also an amazing way to get a product or service across to the general public and the fact its free and easy these days to make short videos why not enhance your company exposure for free on the web? Tie this into your website as well and you can have a more interactive service than just words on the internet. They can physically see the people behind the words.

This is where our services can come in as we can generate you Facebook likes, Twitter followers and other social networking key services to your site or blog. This is completely organic and its why you won’t see us offering cheap backlinks or thousands of Facebook likes in a day. We do everything manually to make sure this enhances your business and not a case of people just following each other round the web.

PHilippines WEbsite Hosting

How many people and businesses do you know with websites? How many are actually doing anything useful?

Fact is we don’t just want you on the internet we want your business making money on the web. Here are a few reasons why :-

If you fail we are failing as we don’t want just a website we want your business to grow. If your not making money your less likely to renew your contract with us and this in turn has wasted your time as well as ours.

There is a huge opportunity to make money on the internet especially in the Philippines as its one of the countries around the planet that hasn’t embraced its power properly. Online ordering, instant emails, virtual assistants are all things the BPO industry does for other countries and corporations but how many are doing it for companies in the Philippines? How hard is it for a computer in a hotel reception to have the receptionist respond to enquiries from prospective guests over the internet almost on the fly? Not difficult at all but how many hotels are using this type of service?

Guess what if word gets round you are able to do everything online before arriving I am sure your website is going to appear in a lot of places and generate new customers because most of your competition doesn’t offer the services. Same goes for vehicle servicing, ordering parts, locating hardware or tools all these areas and more do not use the internet to its maximum potential.

What about goods for sale? Multiply is a huge site and utilised by thousands of Filipinos to sell goods and millions looking for goods. But what about your own identity isn’t a .com more useful than a .multiply? Isn’t it easier to remember and more importantly isn’t it more likely to generate sales even if used alongside an existing multiply account?

Besides these external sales that can be generated there is also the securing of new customers and keeping old customers upto date. Regular emailing of upcoming events and products, sending out promotions or simply making them aware of days your closed for the holidays. Good customer service goes miles on the internet and its done in an instant.
