This year’s tournament was held at the El Niguel Country Club on April 2 and was followed by a cocktail reception, silent auction and dinner. All of us at Cal Coast Web Design were extremely excited to participate in and sponsor this worthwhile event.

SEO News

Due to the recent Google update that took place last month, optimizing your Web pages for SEO purposes is requiring significantly more time. This is due to Google restructuring the number of pages allowed in the main index. Under the latest update, the number of pages allowed in the main index is directly proportionate to your page rank. With that in mind, each page now needs more attention and adding content alone is not enough. Custom meta tags, calls to action, and inbound links that point directly to your page are now must haves in order to optimize your Web site. These additions require 2 to 4 hours of work per page to implement. Cal Coast has made these To Do Items a top priority and you will see this reflected in your hour usage reports. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at info@calcoastwebdesign.com or 888-281-7665 for more information.


Tip of the Month

One of the best ways to drive traffic to your Web site is to position yourself as an expert in your industry. A great way to do this is through online question bulletin boards like Yahoo Answers. By visiting these types of sites and searching for your keywords or industry specific terms, you can find hundreds of entries that offer you a great opportunity to tout your experience.

Simply create a free account at answers.yahoo.com and respond to users questions. When responding to the questions, be sure to paint yourself as an expert with extensive professional knowledge. You will also want to incorporate a link to your Web site into your response, which will drive traffic as well as create a quality inbound link that gets indexed in Google almost immediately. We suggest that you spend at least 15 minutes a day searching and responding to questions on sites like Yahoo Answers. As always, Cal Coast is available to help by calling us today at 888-281-7665.

Testimonials

No matter if you’re a realtor, photographer, online retailer or what have you, making visitors to your site feel comfortable with using your service can help turn those potential customers into long-term clients. One of the best ways to make visitors to your site feel comfortable is to provide testimonials or referrals about your service or products. Chances are you have had hundreds of clients pat you on the back in person, now we just need to transform those accolades into words that can be posted on your site. Simply ask your clients to email you a testimonial for your Web site. Most people are more than happy to take a few minutes to put something together for you. Once you have compiled your testimonials, forward them to info@calcoastwebdesign.com for posting on your site.

And don’t forget that Cal Coast thrives on YOUR TESTIMONIALS. We would love to hear from you and showcase your referral on our Web site! In addition, once posted on our site, your testimonial will be linked back to three various pages on your Web site, giving you quality inbound links. If you would like to add a testimonial to our site, please send us a quick email at support@calcoastwebdesign.com and let us know how you have benefited from our SEO or PR services. We look forward to hearing from you.

From Our Clients
Cal Coast is a growing company that has truly taken customer service to a whole new level. They take the time to listen to the needs of their clients and understand their industries. Cal Coast has offered the same opportunities to smaller web sites, like myself, to expand my web presence with their SEO program, offer PayPal functionality, and has received several compliments from my own clients and the dean of teachers at California College of Physical Arts, on the style/format of my web page. I've also experienced the tenacity of their staff with a domain name transfer and with Cal Coast's help, we persevered over several months to have a website that met my detailed demands.

Thank you Cal Coast for helping me in succeeding as a small business with big web presence.
