I want to increase my web traffic!

2007-09-12T16:05:00.000+10:00

Everyday, millions of products are sold and researched online. Most of this web traffic is driven by search engines like Yahoo and Google. SearchSchool is a one day seminar designed to introduce Search and Search Engine Optimisation techniques. It is aimed at helping small to medium business owners and managers maximise their website’s search engine results.

The inaugural SearchSchool seminar series will be held in Sydney and Melbourne and will attract delegates that have little to no knowledge of Search Engine Optimisation. The programme has been designed to introduce, explain and provide tips on each topic and is ultimately geared at helping business owners improve their online return. Topics include Fundamentals of Paid Search Marketing, Fundamentals of the WWW & Web design, Social Media Optimisation and Analytics.

SearchSchool will be convened by Barry Smyth, Director of Search Strategies. Barry started Search Strategies in 2006 having spent a number of years in the search engine marketing world and has run successful search marketing campaigns for high profile Australian & International companies. Individual sessions will be run by industry experts who are Australian leaders in Search. They are:

Peter Dowse, Marketing Manager, Smartype Cameron Winslow, Managing Director, Vertical-Leap
Robbie Hills, Managing Director, 24/7 Real Media
Monte Huebsch, CEO, AussieWeb
Joshua Hay, Operations Manager, E-Web Design & Marketing
Rod Jacka, Managing Director, Panalisys
Fred Schebesta - Director - Freestyle MediaTom Petryshen, CEO, AmplifyAndy Jamieson, Director, Switched on Media

SearchSchool has been developed by Reed Business Information (RBI) and will be organised by their in-house Events team. RBI is Australia’s leading and largest B2B publisher and information provider. With magazines like Australian Doctor, New Scientist, B&T Weekly, Travel Weekly and many other market leading publications, RBI provides Australian decision makers with the highest quality information available. Their extensive product range comprises magazines, supplements, directories, online industry portals and e-newsletters. They provide a strong mix of print, online and direct marketing opportunities and have developed the most advanced internet portals in the B2B industry.

“Our goal for SearchSchool is to give delegates an entry-level checklist of items that they can immediately implement to help improve their website’s search engine ranking - and ultimately increase their web traffic” said John La Rosa, RBI Events Technical and Content Director. “It’s also important that delegates understand the fundamentals of the web, how their customers use search engines and the tools available to help them track this new traffic.”

According to Mandy Eyles, RBI Events Sales & Marketing Director, “SearchSchool offers a great opportunity for organisations that are looking to engage with small-to-medium business owners, demonstrate their products, develop new business partnerships and will also deliver a strong ROI”.

Sponsors of SearchSchool 2007 include NetRegistry, Yahoo Search Marketing and Lenovo.
SearchSchool will provide a unique networking opportunity for small to medium business owners and offer solutions to help grow their company online – and into the future.

Call Quality - near perfect!

2007-08-28T11:49:00.000+10:00

Finally, our new Cisco router is in, redundant Telco's are in place and the SE Asia call quality is damn near perfect. Took us a bit and we learned some hard lesson - but all is good now!

Thanks for all your Patience.

Solve one issue and another one creeps up.

2007-08-15T16:26:00.000+10:00

In our last post we discussed our strategies to combat Telco supplier degradation. We have implemented that solution and now have a 100% redundant system. All was looking good until we had a hardware failure in our Sydney POP.

Sometimes it is hard to win. Okay, we have routed traffic through our Frankfurt POP as we fix the Sydney issue. Call quality is great but there can be some "lag" in the conversations. You fix one issue and another one takes its place.

This is a priority for us and the whole team is working to resolve the hardware issues, ASAP.

The We Call You Now development team. Working with Murphy's law!

Call quality update

2007-07-31T11:01:00.000+10:00

In our last post we explained some of the issues that were affecting call quality with our "click to call" service. We are happy to announce that we have secured an alternative Telco supplier and initial tests for all of SE Asia are very promising.

To insure that the degradation does not occur again we are putting in place a back up provider so that we can change providers in hours and not the days and week long delays we have experienced in the past.

With severe competition between providers and a changing market place, redundancy is now a high priority for us and we have used the backup strategy to achieve our goal of business grade quality calls.

Please feel free to try the call quality yourself at http://www.wecallyounow.com/

All the best from our development team.

Call issues

2007-07-19T13:58:00.000+10:00

To all our users across Australia. Recently we have been struggling with call quality due to various reasons. First, our telco provider upgraded equipment and had implementation challenges. There have been floods in Melbourne that knocked out some of the exchanges. And believe it or not, a individual went on a rampage with a tank and knocked over four telco towers in Sydney.

All this and more has been a challenge for us but we are working hard to restore both call quality and reliability.

Sorry for any inconveniences.

Available Countries

2007-06-13T15:39:00.000+10:00

If you are a new user to the We Call You Now system, you may have noticed that we have reduced the number of countries that we offer rates for calls "to and from". This has been a result of "prank" calls being made and charge backs to Pay Pal after using the prepaid call amounts.

This does not mean that we will not service these countries. If there is a country you need, just advise us and we will provide you the relevant rates. We have and will continue to have global coverage but will limit the accessibility to verifiable businesses or end users.

Protecting "mis use" of the "Click to Call" technology

2007-05-21T12:08:00.000+10:00

Hi all,

You may have noticed that we have not been adding new and additional features over the past month. Well, actually we have, but they all pertain to minimising miss use of the "click to call" technology.

It is not uncommon for people to use this technology to "prank" people and generate nuisance calls. This is a big issue for us so we have spend most of the last month implementing systems to minimise miss use.

While not completely resolved, many new steps have been put in place to combat "pranks". We would love to tell you all that we have done, but then all the pranksters out there would know what we did and try and build work a rounds.

We love the click to call technology as implemented by www.WeCallYouNow.com and are working daily to both improve and protect the system.

Enjoy,

The We Call you Now development team.

Click to Call in Wikipedia

2007-04-23T11:01:00.000+10:00

Just thought we would link you through to Wikipedia to see how they view the Click to Call world. Wikipedia is the self editing and maintaining Internet encyclopedia. Some people love it and some hate it but it's audited accuracy usually comes out as good or better then tradition encyclopedias.

We Call You Now in Internet Profit Top 40

2007-04-17T11:58:00.000+10:00

There are plenty of honest and hardworking people on the Internet. They offer useful and valuable products, services and advice. But how do you tell the good ones from the scam artists? Well there is a resource on the Internet that has taken all the hard work out of this process. Just visit www.InternetProfit.com.au.

This is how they evaluate the honest folks from the scammers.

The system looks at just how valuable Google thinks a site is using their page ranking (PR) number from the Google tool bar. Then it takes the number of backward links as shown in the Site Explore from Yahoo. Lastly, it includes traffic rankings from Alexa. These three measures, while not perfect, are spread wide and from three different organisations. Using this formula to correct for variations across the numbers you get a single coefficient that indicates credibility.

We are happy to say that the WeCallYouNow service is on this list in the number 5 position. You may recognise some of the other services and authors on this site. We are in good company!

This is a valuable resource so visit http://www.internetprofit.com.au/ to see our position and other honest goods and services on offer worldwide.

Out of hours vs Voice mail

2007-02-27T08:10:00.000+10:00

One of the cool features of We Call You Now is the ability to set an "out of hours" message. It even allows you to capture an email address. But is this the best thing to do?

Many of our clients are now finding, that even out of hours it is best to let the system call your prospect and have it answered on your end by voice mail. Why is this?

They experience the speed and efficiency of the tool
They hear your message and can leave one as well
Even if they don't leave a message the system records their phone number in the logs and you can still call them back

Many clients of WCYN are now taking this approach and it is yielding very positive results. Why don't you try it, test it and measure the results?

From the We Call You Now development team.

It is just one line of HTML code and you are in business. No software to install for you or your clients. No headset and microphones. Just insert the code and start talking. What could be simpler?

Enjoy this new introductory pricing.

Talk to you again - next week.

Why We Call You Now when I have Skype?

2007-02-13T09:42:00.000+10:00

Often, we are asked why anyone would want a We Call You Now button when you can talk around the world for free on Skype. Good question!

I use Skype, so I know its features and numerous benefits. It is a great service and the conferencing is the best I've found.

While an excellent service, it does require that you download and install their software. Conversations require a reasonably fast ADSL or broadband connection and the use of a headset with microphone. All this can be accomplished BUT do all your clients, customers and prospects have these requirements met and want to talk via the computer?

Many would prefer to just have their phone ring. You call them, you pay the charges and no hardware or software required. This happens a lot. Not all Internet users are technologically advanced, which is required to configure and use Skype. What is wrong with offering both channels? Is a missed customer worth the few cents it costs to talk over the We Call You Now phone system? Our experience indicates the more channels for communication, the better chance of doing business.
