Promoting Your Web Site

Your Web site is a valuable marketing tool. Are you taking advantage of it?

Leveraging Your Domain Name: If you're not including your Web site address on your business cards, e-mail signature, stationery, flyers, brochures, advertisements -- anything and everything you create for your business -- you're missing out on valuable opportunities for potential customers to learn more about the services you provide. Are you using an e-mail address at your domain, or does your return address promote yahoo.com or gmail.com instead?

Search Engine Marketing (SEM): When done right, search engine marketing can reach a very targeted audience. It takes some money to establish a presence, but IPOWERWEB hosting plans include free credits for some of the major ones: $50 for Google AdWords, $50 for Yahoo! Search, a 90-day trial for the Best of the Web directory, etc. They're free to try, so see if one or more of them work for your business, and if so, use them to get some additional momentum behind your brand. If you're really ready to dive right in, TargetClicks can be an effective SEM option -- and they do all the work for you.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO): We also have a team of search engine experts who can help you optimize your Web site so that search engines link to you naturally, without having to pay for placement via ads or sponsored links. SEO plans start for as little as $149 -- but we'll give you a consultation for free! Learn more about or SEO services >>

Rapid SSL

IPOWERWEB is introducing a new dedicated SSL certificate called the RapidSSL. Before now, we only offered one type of Dedicated SSL Certificate, the QuickSSL Premium Certificate, issued by GeoTrust.

RapidSSL is like the QuickSSL Premium Certificate in that it:
- Offers commercial-level protection starting at 128-bit encryption.
- Is compatible with 99%+ of browsers.
- Safeguards access to your site over "https," rather than the less secure "http".

However, the RapidSSL Certificate differs from the QuickSSL Premium Certificate, because RapidSSL:
- Is backed by RapidSSL, not GeoTrust.
- Is not compatible with mobile devices.
- Comes with a $10,000 RapidSSL Warranty against mis-issuance of a certificate—not the $100,000 GeoSure Protection Plan, which covers loss of use, theft, or corruption.
- Costs only $39.95/yr, as opposed to $99/yr for the QuickSSL Premium Certificates.

RatePoint partnership

One way to sweeten customer experience is by demonstrating that you welcome and are receptive to feedback. And nothing says "good business" like receiving positive reviews--it's direct proof of your success! In an effort to help you solicit and display customer feedback on your site, we've partnered with a company called RatePoint--and as a valued IPOWER customer, you have access to a 60-day trial membership. If you haven't activated your free trial yet, learn more about it.


RatePoint provides an official "consumer-approved" seal for your site that visitors can click on to read real reviews, as well as submit their own. You then approve positive reviews, which posts them to your site, or respond to any negative feedback privately through the RatePoint-moderated dispute resolution process.

Plus, you can solicit additional feedback through a suite of RatePoint's site tools, which include customer feedback buttons and popups, auto-generated e-mails, customized surveys and more!

You can increase customer retention and show your visitors that you're a company that's worth doing business with by trying RatePoint, free for 60 days.

Carbonite PC Backup for FREE

I mentioned there would be more free things coming in my last post. Well, this is just one of them. It's called Carbonite and it's an automated file backup and restoration for your PC. According to Carbonite, every year 43% of computer users lose irreplaceable emails, documents, photos and other files. By running the Carbonite backup, you'll never have to worry about your computer crashing again. Carbonite is a small application that you download onto your PC and it provides automatic backups so that if you ever lose anything, you'll be able to recover it in just a few clicks.

IPOWERWEB is including 2GB of Free backup to all our customers. If 2GB isn't enough for you, you can upgrade to unlimited for $49.95/year. Try out the 2GB for free now!

Sorry MAC users, this currently only works for PC's.

Google Adwords Credit Increase

Previously, IPOWERWEB gave a free $30 Google Adwords credit with every hosting account. Well, we just increased that amount to $50! Now you get a $50 Google Adwords credit plus a $50 Yahoo Search Credit for a total of $100 in search engine advertising credits! This will go a long way in getting your advertising campaign started. Check out everything else you get for free with your hosting account and keep an eye out for more things coming soon!
