Hey Too Funny,   I was driving home last night and got a call from Boise ID. Some guy found my site on the internet. Any ways he was trying to tell me I was paying too much for my site and that it is all about SEO and they focus on that, and I am just listening and that he can build a site just like you did for me, only, get this, $69.95 a month for hosting, $10 more than what you charge. His hook is that the real money to be made in the industry is hosting so they want more people to be hosted with them long term so that is why the charge so little for the site. I told him to send me his info and links; I wanted to forward it to you. He never did send me anything as of yet. He said, how long you have been with WebsiteForge, he said they are doing you no good you are not even showing up anywhere, I told him we just turned on the site less than 24 hours ago.. and there was a big silence.. LOL    I thought you would find this funny! Have a great one.   Terry S.   -------------------------------------   Hi Terry,   That is funny... a guy calling you the same day your site is found online in the search engines saying your search engine optimization is not working...   You have to watch out for all the con-artist out there peddling their snake oil SEO solutions. Unfortunately, most people listen to the wrong people and end up losing their money taking the advice from people like that rather than investigating the claims the make.   Thanks, Douglas A.

  Doug,   I was really impressed what I heard from you about WebsiteForge.  One of the things we are going to offer is downloadable items for sale, is there a protection tool (if that is the right phrase) that will allow an item to be downloaded only once.   Also there are a lot of software that allows one to grab information from a website, do you provide a way to prevent this from happening?  If yes, is this included in the cost?   Sharon Mack Real Life Moments     ---------------------------------------------------------   Hi Sharon,   WebsiteForge is one of the few companies that offer "Downloadable Item For Sale". We do have a Protection Tool that will only allow them to Download it once, x amount of times or you can set the parameters for days or even allow them to only view it in a secured Members Only Area.   We also have a way to prevent software from grabbing items off your site as well, it's called "Copy Protection" or once again, you can put it in your Members Only Area and restrict everyone from seeing it except those who are Paid/Free Members.   Thanks, Douglas A.

  Why Host With WebsiteForge.com?     Hi Everyone,   I get this question a lot   Q> I already have a hosting company and don't want to move my site to WebsiteForge to host. Why would I want to switch hosting companies?     A> I understand you currently have a hosting company, but what does your hosting company do for you? Do they provide you with a True Content Management Tool to make changes on your website like a web programmer can? Do they drive traffic to your site so you make money? Do they Search Engine Optimize your site so you are found higher in the search engine for your Keywords & Key Phrases? Do they add $250,000 in New Website Technology to your site? Do they keep your site updated in the Browsers, Computer Platforms, Search Engines, Hand Held Devices and Cell Phones like the IPhone? Do they Maintain your site with 1 hour of editing time per month? Do they Monitor your site every 5 minutes to make sure your site is running correctly? Do they Back-up your site changes every 4 hours? Do they provide you with Unlimited Support with your website needs? Do they provide you with a 5 Tier Locked Down Code at the Site and Server level that will prevent a Hacker from destroying your site? Are you set up on a 7 Clustered Redundant Server so your site will never be down? Do they provide you with an On site Technician 24/7/365? Do they provide you with a High Security Data Center? Do they offer you Unlimited Storage and Bandwidth? Do they provide you with POP-3 E-mail accounts that have Spam Control, Virus Scanning, Online Web mail Access and Grey Listing? Do they offer a EV 256 Bit SSL Security Cert? Do they provide Password Protection on selected pages? Do they provide you with Unlimited Training Webinars, Online Documentation & Support, Help Files, Video Tutorials, Customer Support, Technical Support and Remote Hands? Do they provide a Website Hit Statistics Tool? Do they provide a way for you to create unlimited Forms on your site? Do they provide a Newsletter Sign-up & Creation Tool? Do they provide a way to do Mass E-Mail Marketing? Do they provide a Pop-Up Marketing Tool? Do they provide a Copy Protection Feature for your pages and images so people don't steal them off your site? Do they provide a way to insert Google Analytics into your account? If your hosting company is not providing you the services all businesses need and you're just paying for Hosting a site. It's like storing your most prized possessions in a cold, tin shack in the middle of the field that throws everything in a giant room and not locking the doors. What does your hosting company do for you that would make you not want to switch to a company like ours? Thanks, Douglas A.

How long has your company been doing this, building websites?   Thanks,   Catherine   ---------------------------     The WebsiteForge system was created by Magnus Software (parent company) which has been in business since 1991 and only designed professional websites for The Government and Fortune 500 companies all across the country up until 15 years ago. High profile companies paid in excess of $500,000 each for their sites while the technology was being developed by Magnus Software.   Now, 18 years later, and well over 4000 clients, the WebsiteForge system offers those same functions and features and more that only the top Fortune 500 companies in the US could afford at just a fraction of the price.   Today WebsiteForge offers the "absolute best solution" to your website needs unmatched by any other in the industry. While our competition say they compare to the Website Forge system the fact still remains... "No company can truly compare to what WebsiteForge can do for you!"   Thanks,   Doug

How will Websiteforge stay on top of SEO when the masses are pushing it on all fronts. In other words it looks like a never ending battle to me, but maybe I am not understanding SEO.   Thanks Leroy   ---------------------------------------   Hi Leroy,   SEO (Search Engine Optimization) should be on the fore front of everyone's mind, with out it your website will never be found in a KEYWORD SEARCH. Just building a website without SEO is like buying a car and not the gas. It just sits there and looks pretty.   At WebsiteForge we have taken 95% of the work out of SEO and the 5% left over is not rocket science, anyone can do it. Matter of fact we have hired a professional SEO Expert with over 10 years experience to consult with you and submit your site to the search engines. He will tell you how you can manage your on SEO campaign with little effort on your end and how easy it will be.   Thanks, Douglas A.

Many people ask me how WebsiteForge can help their business in a slow economy. Actually, it's the same answer as "How can WebsiteForge help my business in a Good Economy".   ANSWER> Search Engine Optimization!   There is a HUGE shift in people using the Internet instead of the Phone Book to find a business in their area of need. Think about it, "when was the last time you used the phone book vs the Internet to find something?"   If you don't have a website and that website is not search engine optimized to be found in the top 3 pages of the search engines you might as well not have one unless you love spending money advertising on TV, Radio and Print telling people you have a Website.   And, remember that phone book shift, where people are using the Internet instead? More and More people are going to the Internet to watch TV, listen to Radio and read the Newspaper. So your advertising dollars to generate traffic to your website are dramatically being reduced.   The best thing you can do in the slow times and good times, is to use WebsiteForge's Website & Search Engine Optimization Technology and let it do the work for you to generate potential customers or clients to your business website.   The Lifeline to your business being successful is ADVERTISING, our websites do the Advertising for you at next to nothing per month and it will out perform TV, Radio and Print advertising both in the short term and long term on a CPL (Cost Per Lead) basis.   Call or e-mail me to learn more! Or better yet, purchase a website from WebsiteForge and let us prove it!   Thanks, Douglas A.
