SEO and marketing of our web hosting service

Lately, we have seen a few companies trying to mimic our site wordings etc in order to rank higher in search results for their web hosting services. So, we decided to show them the taste of a proper SEO and marketing effort. We knew that we neglected doing this for quite some time. Two weeks ago, we got started with a clear strategy of improving the visibility and rankings of our Web Hosting Service. We started getting calls this week as a result of this! Last night we checked the rankings, and the results are quite pleasing (at least to us ;-) ). While this effort continues, we were disappointed by Google serving spam links, despite our complaints. Time to bug Matt Cutts on this!

Our 2nd year experiences

Due to workload, we couldn't cover this in our last post. Our second year of operating The UX Group has taught us some more lessons. While we continue to believe that persistence and hard work pays off, we are pleasantly surprised to note that a few companies are getting inspired by us and implementing our ideas at their workplaces. We do encounter other copycats, who just try to mimic us, thinking that it works!

While we are at it, we would like to inform that we ourselves have been inspired by a great company called Taos, which provides top-notch sysadmins (gurus). While Taos calls itself as "The SysAdmin Company", we are humble enough to call ourselves as "A SysAdmin Company". Our goal is to change that A to The, as we progress.

2nd Anniversary today; Launch of Coastal Web Directory

We now have completed another year successfully. On this eve, we have launched a directory service for Coastal Andhra Pradesh. Over the next few days, we will be adding most of the resources to make it a full-fledged resource site for this region, which is not properly covered by the existing online directories.

New Project - Web Directory

Its almost a year since our last post here! Having a blog and not updating it regulary is worse than not having one. So, from now on, we promise regular updates here.

Okay, we have started a new project yesterday. This is to create a directory of resources about locations which are not properly covered by other sites so far. We will announce this on our 2nd Anniversary day (Oct 13th).

1st Anniversary today!

A year has passed so quickly - leaving us with so many experiences to learn from and making us realize what it takes to run a business! We decided not to spend our money on some bashes on this occasion; rather we have decided to give this anniversary offer. So, what actually have we learnt in this one year? We learnt 3Ps and 1Q as our success formula:

* Patience * Perseverance * Promptness * Quality

Linux Proxy Config Service "tuxprox" launched

We launched a Linux-based web proxy configuration service named tuxprox today. Considering the need for the local businesses to have a cost-effective alternative to speed up their Net connection speed, we have included all the needed features in this service. As a matter of fact, this service would always be a work in progress since we keep on improving the features and/or add some more as we see fit.
