Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog
Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.
For example, I know that more than a few people in Charlottesville visited my Tumblr in the last 30 days and spent an average of 5:23 on the site, which by the way, is powered by Business Bullpen’s Single A theme.
I lived in Charlottesville (home of the Wahoos) for nearly four years, so it’s not surprising that an old friend or colleague is catching up on what I’ve been doing since moving away a decade ago. But there are some more surprising locations that seem to visit the site and spend a great deal of time on it such as Richmond, Arlington, Albemarle County, and Culpeper.
Zooming out a bit, people in 41 of the 50 states have stopped by. And there are your random Google Analytics stats for a Monday.
We are pleased to announce the new logo and website for Conduce, a consulting company in the DC area.
Conduce came to Business Bullpen without any sort of web presence or branding. We worked with Conduce to design a new logo, and then the website. The website is a custom theme built on the WordPress platform. In addition to the web design and development, Business Bullpen provided keyword analysis and recommendations, and then implemented those recommendations throughout the site meta data.
Another Business Bullpen project on which I was proud to work! If you, or someone you know needs a new website, a website facelift, development work, custom designs (graphic or web) and/or search engine optimization, check us out!
Hooray! Of course, the best part is my mug shot on the “our team” page. Duh.
I am very excited to announce the launch of Business Bullpen 4.0. When Amanda Hughes came on board as our Creative Director in May, the website redesign was one of our top goals. In less than three months, she redesigned our logo and website. Graham did a great job, as usual, developing the site using HTML5 and integrating the Tumblr and Last.FM APIs.
This is just phase one of our redesign. We have a lot more planned that will be rolled out over time including a refresh of this blog. If you want to keep up to date with us, follow Business Bullpen on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, or subscribe to our blog via email or your favorite RSS reader.
Packing water bottles for our golf tournament company outing. Looking forward to a fun night tonight with my coworkers and a full day of sweet shots on the course tomorrow!
I scored two of these. You may be jealous.
That’s better!
In the early 1990s, Website owners figured out the more traffic their sites got, the more advertising dollars became available. And from that “me make fire” leap in Internet evolution, the search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) profession was born.
In the beginning, the prime directive of optimizing your Website was to get it to appear as high in the search engine results pages (SERPs) as possible. Like many things in life, everyone wanted to be No. 1. Not much has changed in the last 10-15 years. The benchmark for successful SEO has been appearing on the first page of search results. The methods of successful SEO, however, are constantly evolving - but that’s a post for another day.
Check our the new @businessbullpen logo! Very nicely done, Amanda!
We are pleased to announce the new look for Business Bullpen! Soon we will be announcing our new and improved website.
My friend and colleague at Business Bullpen wrote a great article about Wordpress.com vs. Wordpress.org.
The great people at Gibson Design Management of Charlottesville asked me to write a post about deciding whether you should use WordPress.com or a self-hosted WordPress instance for your website or blog.
