Web update RAW can happen, so, watch this space and I can update you next month. Blackwood SEO We can confirm that Blackwood Productions have become our SEO partner for the Million Impossible web site. We will be working very closely with Chris Blackwood, MD of Blackwood Productions, to raise our profile through Google searches over the coming months. We are using Blackwood’s “Corporate Business Solution” which is their top package targeting over 70 keywords and includes 3 day reporting, 3 minute website monitoring and submission to over 950 directories, to name just a few features. Chris has taken on a mammoth task in an incredibly competitive market and we look forward to working with him to raise our search engine profile to a new high. You can sign up for a FREE SEO service at www.blackwoodproductions.co.uk which gives an entry level SEO service covering up to 5 keywords. Chris is more than happy to answer any SEO questions you may have in the Forum or alternatively you can call him on 0845 468 8001. Welcome aboard Chris. “We have been working very hard this month to get our live chat facility up and running” products and services in the hope that we can recommend them to our members in the future. Our budgets are always very tight and one good way for us to secure the services we require is by striking up contra deals. These deals can be very successful giving huge benefits, not only to us, but to the companies and individuals we work with. One contra deal we have made is with 39Zero. Kelly, Peter and Harry have worked incredibly hard to help us produce this magazine and we in return have given them prominent positions across the Business Sourcer and Million Impossible web sites. Kelly’s team is incredibly talented and they take on a lot of our design work for us. You can contact 39zero on 01732 749141 or visit www.39zero.co.uk to find out more about what they can do for you. I’m sure you have guessed that Blackwood Productions have come on board as another of our contra partners. This is our biggest Contra deal to date with us providing considerable exposure across our web sites and helping to promote Blackwood through all the channels available to Million Impossible. In return we have secured Blackwood’s top SEO package which should raise our profile in web searches over the coming months. This deal proves that services can be secured that would normally require a large budget. Both parties are obviously committing considerable resources to the project which means that this contra deal will be monitored closely by both of us. We will be able to see improvements through the reports that Blackwood produce for us every three days and we have provided Blackwood Productions with a memorable 0845 number to enable them to track the response of the promotion we have provided. As always, there will be continued development of the Mi site and all our other products over the coming months and you will be able to read about all the latest news next month. Business Sourcer becomes a Paid for Directory. We have decided to make Business Sourcer a paid for Directory. We have made this decision after realising that, although a free directory service giving a full page profile for each advertiser is a great idea, we have reached the position where we will have to start an investment campaign to raise awareness to increase traffic to the site and responses for our advertisers. The web directory field is so competitive that this is not an easy task and, as always, we will be making every effort to raise the www.businesssourcer.com profile as much as we can. As any web based business we will be targeting SEO and SEM first and hope to announce more detailed plans in the very near future. None of our existing advertisers will be charged for their adverts and will continue to benefit from the free service. Contra Deals As many of you will be aware Million Impossible is always trying and testing new millionimpossible.com 27 http://www.39zero.co.uk http://www.blackwoodproductions.co.uk http://www.businesssourcer.com http://www.millionimpossible.com
