Social Networking: The Way the 21st Century Communicates – What does it mean for your business?

Filed under: Web Scripts — Tags: create a social media network, make a social media, social media software — Jon Skulemowski @ 3:38 pm

Social networking is a collection of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision. Although social networking is possible in person, it reached its current zenith by connecting the workplace, home networks, universities, and high schools. Never since the beginning of the internet has it been so simple and efficient for people to communicate and share information.

When it comes to online social networking, specialty websites and platforms are used. These websites are known as social sites. Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. Depending on the website in question, many of these online community members share common interests in hobbies, religion, politics or any other niche interest. Once you are granted access to a social networking website you can begin to socialize much like you have in a real life scenario. This socialization may include reading the profile pages of other members and possibly even contacting them.

A search for social networks will likely return a number of results, including MySpace, planetwhisper.com, trailtownusa.com, Facebook, photographermall.com, Orkut, and Classmates.

In many of the famous social networking websites including trailtownusa.com, ayurved.com, safercircle.com, photographermall.com, greatife.net/network, or hctvnetwork.com you may see a common platform of iScripts SocialWare either in normal form or in customized form.

iScripts Search Engine Optimization Service

Filed under: Web services — Jon Skulemowski @ 3:17 pm

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website in search engines via the “natural” or un-paid search results. This makes your web site and its content attractive, relevant and visible to search engines and web searchers. In essence, any effort for SEO helps people find your site on the internet.

iScripts Search Engine Optimization is a full-service process that encompasses everything from an initial consultation to keyword generation, copywriting, website redevelopment, creation of incoming links, index submission, and reporting on final results.

5 Tips to Keep SEO Efforts on Track:

SEO is a process. It takes effort to rank highly in the search engines and it is very rare for results to occur overnight. It has been said that SEO is the marketing of your site to the search engines. As with standard marketing, nothing is concrete or certain about results of any efforts. Often, the best results are based on sustained efforts and persistence.
You receive results based on the amount of work you put into the process. The more effort you give for SEO, the bigger the results earned. Your site will not get the attention it deserves unless you take action. Often, a brand new site will be anonymous until proper SEO and marketing practices are used.
Competitor quantity is an indicator of a lucrative marketplace. How many competitors are there for your ideal keywords? If there aren’t very any, your job will be easier. If there are many, however, this is a double-edged sword. It will be harder to rank in the search results, but these sites are making money. If your SEO efforts can grab some market share, you know you can have a successful site just like them!
Timing Is Everything. If you have the next great idea out there, don’t wait for someone to launch a website first. If you’re first to get to the niche, you can have a head start on the search results when others come to compete with you. Additionally, time is one of the best tools when looking to gain a higher ranking. If you have been in the niche for a while, the search engines will reward you for sticking around and being a reliable resource for those keywords.
SEO efforts can get people to your front door, but they can’t make them walk through it. Even the best SEO practices cannot make people buy from your site. It will always be the responsibility of the site administrator to constantly update the copy and make his site communicate in the best, fastest, and easiest way possible. SEO will help you get the attention of people on the internet, but it won’t get you sales with a bit of effort.

We are proud to offer SEO services in three cost-effective packages:

Starter SEO Package ($149.95)
Premium SEO Package ($299.95)
Ultimate SEO Package ($199/month)

Let our professional staff of copywriters, optimization engineers and link developers help your website climb to the top of the search engines.

Filed under: Customer — Tags: horseback riding, horses, social, social network, social networking script, trail riding — Jon Skulemowski @ 11:09 am

The iScripts.com Customer Spotlight is proud to present Trail Town USA, sponsored by Tail Blazer Magazine, serving the equestrian community and all of the hobbyists that enjoy this niche.

From trailtownusa.com: “TRAILtownUSA.com (TTUSA) is a bold, innovative new website that will provide an unprecedented opportunity for trail riders to connect 24/7 with fellow trail riders and with companies that offer products and services for trail riding. The vision of TTUSA was given wings in 2008 by a group of equestrians who are passionate about trail riding. We have been steadfast in the dreaming, planning and executing of this groundbreaking website, and now, finally, this dream is becoming a reality. We could not be more proud!”

This website is unique in that it is the preeminent social network for horseback riders on the web. Not only is the site attractive, but it has a staggering amount of features that support almost any activity surrounding the hobby. This massive collection of resources features a general store, a staggering amount of literature for the niche, trails stories, expert bloggers, and a place for anything you can think of horse and riding related.

Initially the owners of the site, Trail Blazer Magazine, wanted to offer more resources to their readers including a social networking/ interactivity site. They created this paid service site to monetize for future expansion and grow their brand. Since launch they have experienced a large amount of growth and success.

Recently, the site has added a geo-cache feature which inspires riders to adventure out to new areas and experience the best the hobby has to offer. Armed with a GPS, the “EquiCache” tool allows you to access a database of coordinates for the best places and hidden spots as listed by experienced riders.

Currently, a new version of the site is being constructed for an even better user interface to make the site a seamless portal for the enjoyment of equestrians everywhere.

We are proud to have this site as part of the iScripts family and it is a great example of serving a niche successfully while still enjoying the activities associated. Even though this site has a very specific target market, it serves as a great example for anyone who is looking to cater to a niche market of their own. The success of Trail Town USA and Trail Blazer Magazine is due to the passion and persistence for the hobby that all the people behind the scenes have exhibited over the past few years. In short, if you have ever thought of taking your own passions to the next level, this site is proof that anyone can succeed with enough persistence.
