Wondering about Search Engine Marketing Services?
If you’ve been wondering about increasing traffic to your website and thinking about using search engine marketing services, here’s an interesting graph from www.LoveMeLoveMyDog.com.sg. The new site, according to creator Herbert Lim “is not just about training dogs but we introduce singles and non-attached…”, was having some traffic but not good numbers and so he engaged my services to help promote it. We started with a campaign on 1st May 2007 and immediately saw results when the visits jumped 10 times! If you’ll like to know how you can achieve this, please feel free to contact me and get some new hits on your site today!

Just discovered this book from 37signals, a team I admire for their simplicity in product design that caters to the customer. There’s the FREE version that you can browse through online or PDF purchase. Some of the concepts mentioned in the book on developing Web apps are spot-on as I’ve come to realise after a few iterations of developing software. Sometimes, just getting the interface right first is really more important than a bunch of specs and documents. Building lightweight ready to run software would be something I shall strive for in current and upcoming projects.
Don’t forget the attachment for your e-mail
I’m sure it has happened to you before. Write a long email and then just hit send before adding the important attachment. Well, I usually can remember not to make the mistake but here’s a good tip that will help avoiding the follow-up email with attachment.
If you are sending an email with an attachment, add the attachment first, then compose the message, and then add email addresses to the send line. Now there’s no chance you’ll have to send the ever-popular “whoops, forgot to attach the file” follow-up.

Google Office Tools: Timesheeting – Google Powered Office Tools | Google Groups
I tend to track a lot of project issues and tasks using Outlook but increasingly find myself using Google Calendars so this tool looks like a good way to track time for projects. Should be very useful to business owners who need to estimate on project costs and freelance jobs?
