The Pope says Blog- we teach you how.

If you believe the time stamp on the message from Pope Benedict XVI- he not only says that members of the cloth should blog- but he says it from a few months in the future- May 16, 2010:

Priests are thus challenged to proclaim the Gospel by employing the latest generation of audiovisual resources (images, videos, animated features, blogs, websites) which, alongside traditional means, can open up broad new vistas for dialogue, evangelization and catechesis.

via Message for the 44th World Communications Day, Benedict XVI.

And with that message from the big guy- and from the future- we proudly present our next Websitetology Seminar on Feb 16, 2010.

To make it even more interesting- I’ll extend the discount of $99 for the day to any members of the Clergy in attendance.

Sign up ASAP because, well, the big guy is watching you.
And don’t worry, this seminar is also great for anyone that needs a website that works- that they can self-manage and self-update.

Learn everything you need to know about how Google sends customers your way- and how to get to that first page without using any Search Engine Optimization voodoo. If you think you need to know HTML to build an effective website- and have avoided it, this seminar is for you.

We teach how the web has changed thanks to search and building new web 2.0 sites using open source content management systems like Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal- so that anyone who has access to the internet and a browser can build and maintain their own site.

Sign up online: http://www.websitetology.com/?page_id=247

We’re scheduled to hold the seminar at The Next Wave, 100 Bonner Street Dyaton Oh 45410, but, we move when we need a bigger room due to popularity of the seminar. We begin at 8:30 sharp- break for lunch around noon- and reconvene at 1:30. The afternoon is focused on using the easiest of the content management systems- Wordpress. We’ll show you how to quote other content online, build links and relationships with other high value sites- and make your site the best investment your business has ever made.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, Aug 25th 2009. Please sign up now, so we can verify room arrangements.

Websitetology, Thursday July 30, 2009

How is your website? Is it bringing you business?

I was recently asked to evaluate a site for some engineers. Of course, engineers are the people who came up with most of this mess we call the Internet- and so his response to my evaluation was, well, confused.

“Thanks for the analysis of our WebPages.  I have had this conversation before and you have to understand your market.  We are not trying to sell our WebPage to the “general public”, which includes marketing people.  Our target market is other engineers and that small group of persons – plant engineers, production engineers, VP Engineering, QC Managers, environmental managers, etc. that will make decisions regarding our proposals.  Normally we will contact persons and then ask them to go to our WebPages.
My goal was to communicate as much as possible on the front page.  For those who don’t want to read, the rotating graphics tried to communicate our capabilities quickly.  Our goal is not to be the best (too expensive and takes too much time), just credible and a solid company to do business with.
This WebPage business is an evolving process.  I have just contacted our WebPage designers – (name withheld to protect the clueless) to start making changes.
1.  I need to write more white papers on various subjects;
2.  I think we will do away with the news section on the front page.
3.  We are going to add Country X to our portfolio.
Eventually I want to start adding Podcasts.

The idea of a website as a brochure is an exercise in futility. Google doesn’t care about your brochure, unless you update it often.

While his site may serve his needs, it isn’t helping bring in new business, making new connections or presenting his firm as leaders in the field- never mind- that it doesn’t have search, RSS or a CMS to manage the content.

If all this sounds as confusing as having to type http:// before you enter an address on a site- it’s because engineers invented this tangled web we work on every day. We make it easy- for non-techie types to get it- and make their website work for them.

Spend a day with us and learn everything you need to know about how the web works- but the secrets of how you get to the first page of Google without paying for ads.

We’ll teach you how to maintain a website using the newest coolest Web 2.0 tools- which means nothing to buy, no code to learn and the ability to connect with customers easier than ever before.

What we preach is organic search engine optimization as opposed to paying for “Search Engine Optimization” voodoo. It’s much more cost effective and it actually works.

Your website can become a powerful business tool and easy to use if you take this seminar. Your webstats will prove it in no time.

So sign up now- we know you’ll become one of our many successful Websitetologists.

Thu Jul 30, 2009 at The Next Wave, 100 Bonner Street Dayton OH 45410 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.

We will be meeting at Nehemiah University 750 S. Main Street Dayton OH 45410.

If you have doubts- read what a student said after the last session:

Sometimes you get exposed to new stuff and it gives you that sick feeling of I had to travel and pay $$$ to go learn to know how much I didn’t know. But all said, that seminar was without a doubt one of the best investments that I’ve made in awhile

Hope to see you July 30. Note, location will change when we reach a threshold number of students.

See new location above in red.

PodcampOhio presentation slides: Google Love

It was the inagural event, so of course, the details on how to share your presentation (as required) weren’t made clear to the presenters, nor is there a directory of them on the PodCampOhio site.

Here is the presentation from Google Love- if you were there, it’ll help you remember the 50 minutes of non-stop Web 2.0 action. It was really nice to get all the positive feedback from people in my session. If you weren’t able to make it- we do the whole day thing at least monthly in Dayton, or can come to your town to speak to your group.

Websitetology Seminar on Tuesday March 25th

The opportunity to learn everything about the internet that your competition doesn’t want you to know has come again!

You’re a: mechanic, store owner, beauty & skin care shop, audio production expert, chiropractor, dentist, boutique clothing store owner, artist, photographer, historian, politician – and most of all, you’re busy running your business.

You might have a website- do you know who is visiting it? How they are getting there? If they are coming back? Is the website getting customers and paying for itself? If you don’t know, you need to take our seminar.

Maybe you don’t have a website- you know you need to be on the internet, but you don’t understand the difference between a website and an advertisement in the phone book. If you don’t know, you need to take our seminar!

Do you know what RSS is and why it’s important? Do you know how Google “sees” your page and gets new customers to you? Do you know that there are tools and resources you can use to get to page #1 on Google without paying one cent to anyone?

Do we really need to say it again? 

Websitetology is not about making you an expert web developer or a computer science wizard. Websitetology is about giving you the tools and the fundamental understanding of the internet and search engines like Google that put you ahead of your competition. Ask Dr. Edward Gould, of the Gould Chiropractic Wellness Center in Cincinnati Ohio, or the group of audio and video production geniuses at The Studio Files – both went from “Google Invisible” to “Google Invincible” in weeks, just by spending a few minutes a day utilizing what they learned at Websitetology.

So sign up now- we know you’ll become one of our many successful Websitetologists.
