Twitter for Business: Social Media Bandwagon or Social Media Innovation?

Twitter is all the rage. At chirp, the twitter developer conference some very interesting facts were revealed:

• Twitter now has 105,779,710 registered users.

• New users are signing up at the rate of 300,000 per day.

• 180 million unique visitors come to the site every month.

With staggering statistics like this, it is easy to see why businesses are trying their best to justify using Twitter on their website. But can your business really utlize it? It’s easy to see how a mobile car wash business could utlize twitter to ‘tweet’ its location to customers and make them aware of their current location, but what about an engineering firm? Do regular customers really want to follow them on twitter? Does the business seem out of touch by not having twitter then or should it simply sign up twitter to keep a competitor or 3rd party from claiming their brand on twitter? (A topic for another post…) Arbitrarily having a twitter button on your companies website is simply sending a signal to customers that you are doing it to appear ‘hip’ or jumping on the social media bandwagon. If you do have the twitter account, then your company should be using it to engage customers and interactive with them. Integrate the twitter account with your companies blog and make twitter a source for

The Tenacity of Hope

I stopped by the birthplace of my radio career recently while visiting my family in El Paso. The tiny cinder block building at 5300 El Paso Drive is still standing. Although empty, it serves as a reminder of my dues paid at KINT 1590 Radio. We were the little station that could, pulling numbers that, by today’s standards would dominate a market. With no budget, a poor signal, and no night-time presence, we managed to make it big.

Our secret was not knowing what we couldn’t do and loving every minute. Even our interns were fighters.

There was a young high schooler named Dave Kelly who had the tenacity of a winner. While his friends were out playing, Dave was living and breathing every moment of the radio station. Little did we know what we were teaching him by our daily enthusiasm for radio

One day, in the only room big enough to hold 10 people, during an important staff meeting, our owner/General Manager, Larry Daniels, noticed that Dave Kelly was sitting in the back of the room.

“Kelly! What are you, doing here?” he shouted.

“Oh, hi Mr. Daniels. I was just interested in what was going on.” he replied in his Leave It To Beaver voice.

Mr. D took him aside and gently told that he couldn’t come to the station anymore. He was getting in the way.

As he was leaving the building, Dave overheard our receptionist calling a landscaping company to mow our lawn. The next day, a Saturday, Mr. Daniels drove into the parking lot to the sound of a gas mower and guess who was pushing it!

Dave Kelly loved radio so much, he had gone to work for the landscaping company, just so he could be “where the action was” for him.

From that day forward, he became a permanent member of our radio family.

Today, he’s still in radio, having actually become a business partner with Larry Daniels in later years and currently serves as a sales manager for the Univision cluster in El Paso.

Dave Kelly stands for everything radio should mean to a broadcaster. His tenacity and love for our medium has never let him down.

San Antonio SEO – Choosing the right Company

Choosing the right right SEO company can be extremely stressful. SEO is a fairly new industry where results cannot be promised and hiring the wrong firm or company can result in hundreds, if not thousands of dollars of lost revenue. Even worse, if you hire a company that practices unethical search engine optimization (known as Black Hat SEO), your website can face a potentially crippling ban from Google. Imagine your customers not finding your website at all when they search for it! When interviewing a company, be sure to ask them for sample results for past clients or a general explanation of what type of work is to be done in the campaign. Search Engine Optimization is not some unseen magic that a nerd does in the back room but an educated, and custom tailored web marketing campaign to improve your search engine rankings. RiverView has experience working with clients in a multitude of Industries and providing them affordable SEO services that deliver results.

Site Speed and Load Time Now a Factor in Your Search Engine Strategy

Google has always rewarded websites that focused on usability and didn’t try to spam search engines. Until now though, a fast loading and optimized website was simply a benefit to the user and did’t effect your search engine rankings whatsoever. This is no longer the case as Google has stated on their blog that they now factor in page speed into their algorithm. This is a huge deal because even though the benefit it small, this means that lean, CSS based web designs are going to benefit greatly from this. Many businesses still have their websites coded using table based code which was heavily used in the late 1990′s and early 2000′s. At RiverView, webpages that we build are always CSS based, so if you are in need a of redesign or fresh new look, you can be confident that the website we provide to you will take full advantage of the new benefit Google is giving to fast loading web pages.
