Hi all
The run in for Xmas 2009 has begun and many businesses are already planning for 2010. We have begun our yearly New Year plan and budget in the hope that we can at least enjoy the recession ridden Xmas of 2009. We have found an upsurge in SEO and in recent weeks we have been contacted by many companies for various countries which quite clearly shows that if your business / website is optimised you do not need to rely on the Irish Market. We are now working for new clients in Canada, USA and Japan. If you need any help on outside markets be sure to contact us.
November brings much anticipated autumn internationals, so at least those dreary Saturdays can be spent yelling loudly at our Rugby team, we also of course have France in the World Cup qualifiers – so hopefully our small but powerful country can do as we always do and punch well above our weight.
One of our new clients is a resort based in Orlando Florida, so if anyone fancies a trip South for Xmas 2009 be sure to logon to www.tuscana.net and speak with Linda or Erica whom I’m sure take care of all their Irish cousins. (More on Tuscana – in the newsletter)
Charity
I have been asked to grow a bear d for a local charity for Xmas, so from December 1st I’m going to have my last shave for 3 weeks. When I arrive on your premise’s looking more like a Folk singer please bare with me until January 1st:
Best wishes for November 2009!
Regards

Hosting Upgrade
We upgraded our hosting facility in Cork last weekend . Radek and his team spent most of Sunday rearranging racks and upgrading our servers with more ram and CPU’s etc. The upgrade is aimed at ensuring our dedicated servers are 1) more secure 2) running a faster download speed.
SEO BUDGETS
2010 will see tremendous growth online and we are urging all clients to ensure that they budget for SEO. Recent IIA surveys indicate that the SEO budget should be circa 10-20% of turnover depending on the industry. Because we are expected to be in recession until late 2010, there couldn’t be a better time for your business to bring new customers from Ireland and abroad. The internet remember does not have any borders. Feel free to call us on 1890 466 453 to discuss marketing your business into other countries.
