DownRiver Creates Web Presence…

You can have a website built at almost any price point. You can build a website for virtually nothing(and nothing is about what it’s going to be worth).
At DownRiver, we do more than create web sites; we’re creating your web presence. A powerful web presence, a web presence that generates the success you want, rarely happens by accident.
Web presence requires the use of specific techniques, with the proper tools and applied by a qualified practitioner with the correct knowledge.
The way the internet changes…
…building and maintaining web presence can be like a juggler spinning 9 plates atop 9 poles.
It’s not as easy as it looks!
If you’re here looking for quality service(s), we urge you to look around, do some more searching. Look into the millions of service providers, most of whom make grandiose promises of ease and instant success(we’re a little skeptical); then contact us with your questions, concerns, comments.


Quality Web Presence
The difference between
Spending Money FOR your internet
and
Making Money WITH Your Internet!

Internet Buzz

Bing-Bang-Brand
The new search engine from Microsoft with $80-$100million marketing budget…
Have you heard of it? You will. If you’re a DownRiver Group client, “Bing” has already heard of you and you likely appear(highly) in Bing results for the keyword/keyword phrases that your prospects use to search your niche.
Here’s more on Bing, on BusinessWeek.com.
GBase ~best kept secret
Long sitting in beta is Google Base, a listing service/application with an awesome potential. I’d suggest you do a product search with Google Base and consider if you could benefit from listing your product via this service.
And if you need/want help of course we’ll be here to help.
Safe Surfing ~BAD Bugs In The Web
There is yet another attack, crawling across the internet, as of late; the gumblar trojan, and this one is a horror show! For a full write-up on this little nasty, I recommend the Avast antivirus company blog post. It’s a very technical article but at the end of it is a statistic regarding infections of Avast antivirus users(which is why we use and recommend Avast products.

Cracking Open The Web Presence Tool Box…

….as we mentioned last time, we’ve just added a new application, the DownRiver Mailstream, that you’re going to love. It’s a new email marketing service with ultra-competitive pricing & an arsenal of marketing weapons!
·No monthly fee,
· great rates
· billed only on mail sent
· can-spam protections
· opt-in/opt-out services
· list building/collation
· an array of nice templates…
everything you need to get your newsletter/email campaigns off the ground! And of course, we’ll be right here to walk you through it.
We’ve just installed it on the servers & we’re “working on our chops” with it so the integration with your site & marketing collateral can be as smooth and seamless as possible. To that end, we’re hoping to fire off something from this app by the end of the week, so watch your inbox!
If you want to make certain you’re on the “A list”, please use the form below & sign up. We guarantee it’ll be worth your time!

We’ve also installed a new Twitter application, TwitterTools, for which we have high expectations…
The plan is to have this sweet little widget update our Twitter feed automatically, saving us time while allowing us to reach out to an even more efficacious degree. IF it works(and we’re certain it will), it’s an excellent application of a free(there’s that word again) technology that increases our web presence and effectiveness!
On a side note, the Twitter-hype seems to be swinging to the negative side, to a degree; I hear many folk lambasting twitterers as narcissists and that may be true, to a degree. But the effectiveness as a social networking tool was borne out again this past week when Mir-Hossein Mousavi was able to “connect” with the outside world after the Iranian elections & subsequent shutdown of most networks by Iranian leaders. This is no political endorsement of any kind, simply a re-iteration of the usefulness of a freely-available tool.
Okay, here’s hoping we’ve set the dials properly!
