Affiliate Programs

An affiliate program is a partnership with an online merchant (that is, a web site that sells goods or services). If you are interested in earning revenue from the traffic that comes to your website, and enhancing your site, you can join one or more affiliate programs.

When you join these programs, you can incorporate text links in your website or ad banners in your web page design. There are also a number of other more sophisticated types of links. These links can be placed anywhere you want on your website.

If the visitor to your web site clicks on one of the links you have put up, that visitor goes to the merchant's website. If that visitor buys something on the merchant's website, you get a commission. In some cases, affiliates are compensated even if the visitor doesn't buy anything, just for having driven traffic to the merchant's website. In still other cases, affiliates can be compensated just for putting the link up on their site. The affiliate's reward varies from merchant to merchant and program to program, depending on the terms of the merchant's offer.

Another advantage to having affiliates is that it increases your positioning in search engines. We can help you obtain the affiliates that are complimentary to the services and/or products are offering.

Search Engine Optimization

You can have the most significant, most brilliantly designed and important site on the internet, but if no one visits your website, what good is it to you in attracting and obtaining customers? Promotion is the most important part of a professional web page design, and getting listed in the major search engines is possibly the most critical part of that. One of the most essential tools for securing a high ranking is publishing great content. We know how to title pages and sub-pages, how to use better page design, how to use HTML meta-tags and keywords within the body of the website and then properly submit your web site using the individual criteria of each search engine for the best optimization.

Because the tactics and methods required to achieve results is constantly evolving, getting your website listed near the top of the search engine indexes, involves research of the submission requirements of each of the search engines, directories, and indices you would like to be listed in as well as researching the websites of others in your industry that attain top search engine placements. In today's highly competitive environment, the vast qualified traffic coming from both Pay-Per-Click and Traditional Search Engines requires regular evaluation.

Security Analysis

Public and private sector organizations alike are striving to manage the impact of the ongoing
technological threats. For government and business leaders the combination of new threats and new opportunities means that the need for rigorous planning into security analysis has never been greater. We can provide research, analysis and education input with the strategic planning and assessment of your organization's overall security policies.

Security auditing is a function for maintaining network and internet security. With auditing, you can track your employees activities and system-wide events on a network such as the action performed, the user who performed it and the date and time that it occurred. We can set up an audit policy to:

Track the success and failure of events, such as when users attempt to log on, read a file, make changes to user and group permissions, change the security policy, and or make a network connection.

Eliminate or minimize the risk of unauthorized use of resources. Track trends over time by maintaining an archive of security logs. Tracking these trends is useful in determining the use of printers, files or internet sites
visited.

Wouldn't it be nice to know that your employee's time is used productively, rather than taking advantage of internet connectivity to surf the web?

We can also ensure that you have Internet firewall protection, and a full proof backup system of your critical data.
