Simply Cheap Websites

We have launched a new website called AffordableWebsites.ME that is offering a low budget option to individuals, organizations, and businesses that want a website, but don't need a completely custom, expensive option.

Through the use of professionally designed templates made by designers and developers across the world, we are able to offer incredibly professional, quality websites for only a small fraction of the price of normal, custom websites.

Even though it's 2012, there are thousands of people who are still without a website of their own. We have created this site and this brand in an attempt to lower the barrier of entry and to help get these people started showcasing themselves and their businesses online.

If you or someone you know is looking for a website and doesn't have a huge budget to work with, please send them our way! We would love to take on their project.

We would also love to get your feedback on the new site: AffordableWebsites.ME

SEO With Blekko - SEO Made Easy

Blekko is hands down one of the best SEO tools I have ever found. While I'll probably have a fuller post on either my personal blog or my company blog, I wanted to share this tool with everyone as soon as possible.

I'm assming I'm actually late to the game on this one since I heard of Blekko some time ago, but for those of you who occasionally miss terrific tools, here's your notice!

Blekko.com is a search engine that doubles as an amazing SEO tool. In the absence of Yahoo Site Explorer, SEOs have needed a tool that helps them understand (and copy!) the backlink profile of competitors. YSE was perfect for this and so were other tools such as SEO Book's Backlink Tool and Market Samurai's backlink checker, both of which are not expired.

Fortunately, now there's Blekko. Blekko allows you to search for any site and pull up the inbound links to that site. It also gives a breakdown of what countries the links come from, WHOIS data, and a list of other sites on the same server making it a fantastic research tool. I've already used it to uncover dozens of useful sites for my latest project.

While their index is not as great as Google's or even as wide as Open Site Explorer, it is enough to get started with. As you probably know already, I don't particularly enjoy SEO, but Blekko at least makes it easy!

I don't have time to go into too much detail at the moment, so suffice it to say that this tool is one of the best I've found when it comes to SEO and even overall research of competitors and I wanted to share it with all of you. So enjoy, and, as always, please leave me any comments or questions.

Auto Auctions in Michigan - From Scepter

Auto dealers are used to going to auctions to find vehicles to buy or to offload their unwanted inventory. Though noisy and often crowded, auctions are the venues that bring dealers together from all over the region. There are dozens of auctions around the state of Michigan, and now there is one central location where dealers can go to find out about all of the auctions. That site is called Auto Auctions in Michigan and is owned and operated by Scepter Marketing of Lansing.

Auto Auctions in Michigan is another site in the great litany of sites that Scepter has been launching in Lansing and marks the first one that reaches beyond Lansing to the wider audience of the state of Michigan. The goal of the website is to provide a list of all of the car auctions throughout Michigan and centralize them in one location so that dealers and the public can quickly browse and find auctions near them.

One of the best features of the new site is the map. The map has markers for each auction. When a marker is clicked, the user is taken to the listing of that particular auction and can see the contact information, link to the official website, and some details about the auction.

The site is in its infancy, but as it grows, it will hopefully incorporate more features such as links to auction inventories and calendar that shows all of the auctions in the State so that dealers can have a handy resource for keeping track of dates, times, and lists of cars that will be ran through the auctions.

And that's the latest update from Scepter as to what we're working on! Stay tuned for more updates and more news about what we're doing by following us here on Posterous!
