Update: Everything’s working fine now.

As many of you already know, yesterday our service went down due to a technical anomaly that manifested itself while our servers where performing a routine task, and because of this we wish to ask your forgiveness from all our users who where affected. Under normal circumstances, these maintenance procedures happen right under your noses and service goes uninterrupted as we always take the upmost care in maintaining the service up and running as if nothing was happening. Yesterday, unfortunately, we experienced a technical anomaly that was TOTALLY INCIDENTAL and will not happen again. We worked all day and night in order to reestablish the proper functioning of all sites affected and, as of this morning, everything is running smoothly: your websites as well as your email accounts are now back to normal. We are still working at getting all the editing tools functioning properly and will let you know as soon as this is taken care of.

We understand the disappointment that some of you must feel at this moment and for that reason we are open to your criticisms, opinions and suggestions. For Neosites, it is as important to have an open line of communication for the bettering service and tools, as it is to step up in the face of situations such as this where things do not always go as planned. At Neosites we are convinced that the only way to grow as a business and as community is by listening and working with ALL of our users, and we work hard, every day, to offer quality service you deserve. We realize that notification of any type of cut in service should be done with anticipation, but due to unforeseen circumstances there was no way of giving a heads up in time. Fortunately, aside from a slight delay, service is almost ready to be completely reestablished and we are still working, as always, to remedy this situation and keep it from happening again.

We realize that the only way to build a better future for everyone is by recognizing our faults and errors, and learning from them, but not only so that they do not repeat, if not to give back to our community of users what they really deserve.

There is nothing more to do but once again ask forgiveness for the occasional bother and assure you that we will double our work in every field so that all our users have the quality service they deserve.

Everyone who has ever created a website has asked the same question over and over again: How do I get more visitors to my site? There are many ways to go about it and if you have any experience in administering a website, you have probably put many into practice. But if you are a novice to this world, or you have some questions and could use a little advise in developing your online campaign, then this section will definitely come in handy.

Most likely, when we talk about Online Marketing, the first thing people think about is Google, this makes a lot of sense being that it is “The” search engine of The Web. However, we should not ignore the fact that there are other tools and techniques to marketing that can contribute as much as Google to help you increase your site traffic. So without more ado, let us get to know the most popular and effective tools and techniques that exist today:


-Google: as obvious as it may be, we cannot help but mention how important it is. When it comes to your ranking, Google is synonymous with web presence being that they have more daily visits than any other website in the world. The great advantage of submiting your website on Google searches is that it is totally free and puts you within reach of a mass of potential visitors.

-Google AdWords: is the paid advertising branch of Google that grants outstanding positioning in its searches through a Pay By The Hit mechanism. The great advantage here is the ability to adjust to whatever the budget or the standing your announcements achieve.

-Social Networks: this is what everybody is talking about. In the past few years this area has seen the most growth, with Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin at the forefront, and if that wasn’t enough they keep getting bigger every day. This is why that in order to have visitors, aside from showing in Google, you must have presence in social networks. The big advantage here is that you have the ability to identify and know your clients as well as interact with them.

-SEO Tools: the initials SEO stand for ‘Search Engine Optimization’ The big advantage here is that it puts your web page in a privileged position within search engine rankings on the page that shows your search results that are determined by the key words used in your search.

-E-mail Marketing: with this tool you will be able to inform people interested in your services about prices, promotions, news, ect. It has the advantage of being a communication channel that goes directly to all your contacts.

-Blog: could be the lowest on the totem pole, but in all reality, a Blog that has been implemented and constantly actualized not only cements the loyalty of your visitors, but will also improve your ranking in search engines.

Excellent, now that we know what advantages these tools have and how they help you increase visitor traffic to your website, you may now start an online marketing campaign that best suits your needs. Luckily, a big advantage is that Neosites has all of these tools already incorporated into the system and furthermore, they are easy to put into practice. So jump to it and start setting up your marketing campaigns and keep an eye open for our next tip on how to improve them.
