“That Guest” At The Get-Together….

Partners in Excellence

I hate being trite with this analogy, but I will. My post “Cold Calling Was Never ‘Alive'” generated a lot of interesting questions and conversation. They were variations on the same theme, “I need to get to these people to tell them how we can help them… I need to share our experience in working with customers like them… I need to schedule a demo of what we do……” Repeating myself: Customers don’t care about it until they do!

An SEO’s guide to redirects

Search Engine Land

Redirects are a way of moving a webpage visitor from an old address to a new one without further action from them. Each webpage has a unique reference, a URL, to enable browsers to request the correct information be returned. If a browser requests a page that has a redirect on it, it will be instructed to go to a different address. This means that the content on the original page is no longer available to request, and the browser must visit the new page to request the content there instead.
