The Problem

With just regular use, your computer will slow down. Its diminished performance is the result of it storing a vast amount of information. Over time countless changes are made to a crucial part of your computer called the Windows Database or Registry. Alterations to it, which can be caused by installing and uninstalling programs, can make your PC become unstable, which leads to erratic performance. Just like your car, your computer needs to be maintained.

The Quick Solution to all these problems:

Cleaning the registry is the easiest way to maintain your PC and Windows Registry. With you harnessing this sophisticated software through its easy-to-use interface, CCleaner will thoroughly search your PC for common errors that can lead to slowness, freezing and crashing. It will then safely correct these problems and help restore your computer’s speed and performance. This work can be done without worry as CCleaner features a Backup function that allows you to revert to a previous working state if something does go wrong. CCleaner helps you maintain and optimize your computer for the best performance possible.

On April 20, 2010, Google changed their Google Local Business Center to Google Places. We have posted a except of their blogpost from http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/introducing-google-places.html below.

This is exciting because they introduced a few cool features:

Service areas: If you travel to serve customers, you can now show which geographic areas you serve. And if you run a business without a storefront or office location, you can now make your address private.

A new, simple way to advertise: For just $25 per month, businesses in select cities can make their listings stand out on Google.com and Google Maps with Tags. As of April 20, 2010, it’s only available to three new cities — Austin, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. — in addition to ongoing availability in Houston and San Jose, CA. In the coming weeks Google.com will be introducing Tags in Chicago, San Diego, Seattle, Boulder and San Francisco.

Business photo shoots: In addition to uploading their own photos, businesses in select cities can now request a free photo shoot of the interior of their business which we’ll use to supplement existing photos of businesses on Place Pages. We’ve been experimenting with this over the past few months, and now have created a site for businesses to learn more and express their interest in participating.

Customized QR codes: From the dashboard page of Google Places, businesses in the U.S. can download a QR code that’s unique to their business, directly from their dashboard page. QR codes can be placed on business cards or other marketing materials, and customers can scan them with certain smartphones to be taken directly to the mobile version of the Place Page for that business.

Favorite Places: We’re doing a second round of our Favorite Places program, and are mailing window decals to 50,000 businesses around the U.S. These decals include a QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone to directly view the mobile Place Page for the business to learn more about their great offerings.

What’s the most important thing for site rank today?

Link Building is the most important thing you can do for site rank. It’s the process of getting quality websites to link to your website, in order to improve search engine rankings. Link building techniques can include buying links, reciprocal linking, or entering barter arrangements.

All links are NOT created equal! A site with 1000 low quality links from random places on the internet will not compete equally well with a site that has high quality links from laser targeted sites. Getting good quality links on a ongoing basis is a time consuming process.

Petronella Computer Consultants, Inc. can help you get the targeted links you need, on a recuring basis, to ensure your site climbs to the top of the search engines. An ongoing effort is needed to keep climbing, in combination with other seo marketing techniques. Call us today at 919-422-2607 to get a free consultation on how we can implement link building into your SEO campaign!
