I was always interested in how different sites are always easy to find and others are not. The big chain stores always pop up at the top of whatever I am searching, even when I am trying to find local shops. I started to look into how this is done last month and found that some of them use SEO services to better their shot at being at the top of the search engines.

I then had to look up what SEO marketing was and exactly how it worked. It took me four hours and three days of reading about SEO services online but I think that I have finally figured it out. I am going to have to talk with my boss, who is always complaining about our website and see if he knows all about this SEO marketing stuff.

If he does not know about it and our site has never had any SEO things done to it then we should be able to hire someone professional to handle it and then we may start to see some sales actually come from it and it will start making money which it was originally supposed to do four years ago and has not ever done.

For two years, I have been doing everything in my power that I know how to do, to get my site that sells homemade fudge to show up on the search engine results. I think that being located on a page that is in the hundreds is a prerequisite to never making a sale. I decided to turn it over to the big dogs that know what to do.

I contacted Danny DeMichele and asked for one of their complimentary things that are advertised on their site. I wanted to see if they were going to do anything different than what I had done already. After receiving the plan, I saw that pretty much everything that Danny DeMichele would be doing, are things that I have never even heard of. It made me happy to see that there were things that could be done and I was on board to have them be put in place.

In just six months time, I saw my site go from the hundreds, to a page that did not even have a three digit figure. I was so happy; I started to endorse hiring Danny DeMichele to every small business site owner that I knew. I believe that I probably got him about ten to fifteen more jobs, since I saw that he really can do as he promises. He turns the sites around and makes them easier to find on the search engines which is the key to sales, besides having a good product to sell which I have of course.

The last time that I had to pay to have a repair man come and fix the server, I could not believe the bill. I watched him fix it and I could have done it if I had known it was so easy. I had taken some computer classes in school and had to learn the ins and outs of servers to pass it. I just was not sure if all brands were the same or not.

The next time that the server has problems, I am fixing it myself. The used sun hardware store is likely to have any parts that I might need and it will save a ton of labor costs. My partner is all for the idea, as long as I do not mess it up. I did not think that I could do it before but now after seeing the repair man fix it, I feel confident enough to do it.

I have already called the used sun equipment store to make sure that they have a big stock of parts for this particular server and they have assured me that they do. I am not going to worry about if the server goes down next time; I am just going to be ready to fix it for less money than before.

The interior painters asked me if I wanted to paint the trim a different color than the walls, since my husband did not tell them any differently. I told them that I did, but was not sure at this time. They left a couple of color wheels with me to look over. I called the interior painters in the morning, before they were set to arrive back at my house and told them the name of the color that I had chosen for the trim.

The interior painting company representative called me back, to let me know, the color that I had chosen was out of stock. I went back to the color wheels to find a different yet similar color and knew that whatever I chose, better be in stock or I was going to be very frustrated.

The next color that I picked out was in stock according to the lady who answered the phone and the interior painters would bring it with them so that I could see if it was exactly what I wanted, by putting a little on the trim. After they put it on the trim, I knew that it was a perfect color to go with the color that I had chosen for the walls.

When my interior decorator suggested I put in some vinyl garden windows in the back of the house, I had no idea what she was talking about. I called a local window contractor to ask him what they were. He told me that he would do one better than that, he would show me. He drove over to my house with a sample, and some before and after pictures of homes that had put them in.

After seeing the vinyl garden windows, I hired the window contractor to put four different ones in, at the back of the house. I could not believe that I had never seen one before this. Me, the person with the biggest green thumb in this state, knows about them now though and will be growing herbs year round.

The old vinyl casement windows that were in the spots where the new windows are going were recycled and put in the greenhouse I am building in the backyard. Since the vinyl casement windows were only four years old, I could not see just throwing them away. I am a firm believer in recycling.

Since putting in the vinyl garden windows, my plants seem to be growing much better than they were before. The herb garden that I started in the kitchen window is so convenient when I am cooking.

I just got back from picking out my new windows at the Colorado window company showroom. You can look at every style they offer and then there is a computer program that allows you to see that style of window in your home. It was a lot of fun, until I had to pay, but every cent will be worth it this winter. I have always had to put plastic on my windows and use space heaters because we had such old windows. This year will be different when the Colorado window company gets all my new windows in.

I had a roofing company put a new roof on about six months ago and I think that it is also going to help out with my heating and cooling bills. I have always heard that heat rises, and if it was going right out the roof then I was just throwing away money every time I turned on the furnace.

All in all, my house will be more energy efficient than it has ever been in the past. I am looking for a thirty to forty percent savings over last year’s winter heating bills and that will make a big difference in my pocketbook.
