How To Market Yourself Better
Tips For Marketing Your Blog
So many blogs are created daily that it is a mystery how to make your blog stand out. There are many purposes for blogs and a number of tactics that are applicable to almost any of them.
- Obtain and install customizable blog software. NeoNexus offers blog software that is fully customized into your website so it looks just like another page on your site. This eliminates taking customers away from your website to read your blog.
- Research keywords and develop a glossary to use within your blogging content.
- Submit RSS feed and Blog URL to prominent RSS and Blog directories.
- Optimize and distribute a press release announcing your blog.
- Request feedback or reviews of your blog in relevant forums, discussion threads.
- Post regularly, at least a few times a week. You shouldn’t post info just for the sake of posting. Each blog should be unique and of high value.
- Always reply to comments on your blog and when you detect a mention of your blog on another blog, thank that blogger in the comments of the post.
- Use social networking services, forums and discussion threads to connect with other bloggers. If they like your stuff, they will link to you.

Tips on how to keep your computer cool.
Today’s computers have built-in cooling fans that keep the computer from overheating during normal use. If your computer’s cooling fan malfunctions, the computer will overheat and cause irreparable damage. Keeping the computer fan in tiptop shape is fairly easy. Just follow these simple steps:
- Do not block any air vents on your PC’s case. You can also extend the life of your computer monitor by giving it a little breathing room. Don’t block the air vents on your monitor by piling papers or books on top of it.
- Most fans are on the back of the computer, so position the computer a few inches from the wall.
- Keep draperies and other fabric away from the fan.
- Keep the fan clean and free of debris.
- Keep dogs, cats, and other hairy pets away from the computer.
- Keep your computer in a clean, well-ventilated area.
- Open your case once or twice a year and use a computer vacuum or can of compressed air to clean out built up dust and debris. Do this more often if you have a cat or dog that sheds a lot.
- The room where your system is kept should never be too hot. How hot is too hot? If it’s uncomfortable for you, it’s probably uncomfortable for your PC as well.
- Don’t put the CPU unit of the computer on the floor. This is one suggestion that even I don’t always follow. Yet, if this is feasible, your computer will accumulate less dust and dirt if kept off the floor.
- If you own a laptop, you can’t easily open the case. Instead, use compressed air to blow out any of the vents or fans and always use a hard surface to put your laptop on. Placing the laptop on a blanket or other fabric blocks the air vents and will severely effect the performance.
There you have it! If you keep after these few steps, your PC/Laptop will most likely outlive it’s usefulness due to old hardware but not due to overheated hardware.

Customer Spotlight
Chatcable came to NeoNexus to design a website for them that integrated their news blog and shopping cart without subdomains. They had an existing website, however the integration was not available, and their existing customers had to leave their domain to browse the online products and read current news. Now customers can stay on one site and find all the info they are looking for. You can check out the site at www.chatcable.com

Don’t forget about NeoNexus’ referral awards program. For every successful referral you send to NeoNexus, you get a $50 gift certificate to one of your favorites restaurants, such as Cracker Barrel, Chili’s, or Macaroni Grill. Also, existing customers can save up their referrals and cash them in for free website options instead of dining out. Website options include free hosting, 15 second flash animation, and free contact form added to your website. So, get those referrals coming, and let’s all share in the fun!
Sincerely,
