Also, these newsletters will become more regular (approx every 2 months) as they will contain articles that will help you promote your business online. So if you have any questions that should be included in the next newsletter please email me.

A new version of NowPromote is available which allows for Online Advertising. Online Advertising is strongly recommended for anyone who is looking to attract more customers to their website.

Your website has a new feature! a Photo Gallery. It displays all the pictures of your website on one page so that your customers can look through all your work. See below for more information about the Photo Gallery.

NowPromote is upgrading its approach to email. It is time to move to a new way of managing your email...

Note: if you desire you can remain on your current email setup, but it is recommended that you move to the new email because:

1. send emails from your web address (not hotmail/gmail)
2. it is stored separate to your computer so cannot be lost due to loss of computer.
3. accessible from any computer, by anyone (who has access)
4. it uses gmail's approach, which means you can store 7GB (alot) of emails forever, no more deleting!
5. as well as email, you also get a calendar and documents in the account.
6. more reliable!
7. Multiple email accounts. (email me with a list if you want multiple)
8. easy setup with mobile devises, outlook and other programs.

Please reply to this email with confirmation that you want to move to the new email approach.  I will notify you of when it will happen and provide account login details.

Thanks

Faster Websites

Although most things slow down for winter, your website is now running faster than ever. Improvements have been made to make it load faster for your customers.

Ranking Better in Google

Over the next few months we will be rolling out 'website directories' which will improve your website's ranking in google. This is one of various improvements to make your site rank higher. A 'website directory' is a separate website that attracts customers and refers them to your website. The directory also helps you google ranking by linking to your website.

The directories will be based on the market or location of your business. At the moment the following two directories are planned as a trial (more will come):

• Brisbane Weddings
• Queensland Dance and Arts

The Directories will be reusing information from your website! 

The directories will be constructed from a small sample of each website's information, in particular it will include products and specials, and some pictures.

There is no additional cost or action required by you.

Are you happy to be included in the directories? Please reply to this email with a YES or NO and the reasons. 

NOTE: the new website directories are not aimed at replacing or competing with directories such as www.i-do.com.au or www.easyweddings.com.au. These websites are primarily to improve (and keep) your high ranking on google.
