Pittsburgh SEO – SEM – SEA | Internet Marketing and Website Design | Blackball Online

Pittsburgh is poised to host and experience a global event on par with the Olympics. That  means a lot of eyes, (including corporations) from all over the world will be getting a birds-eye-view of our Black and Gold, people, geography, businesses, and everything else, including, (and this is a big “including”) our technology.

When the G20 Summit happens here in Pittsburgh a more than usual amount of people are going to be craving hi-speed Internet access, reliable and instantaneous mobile access, as well as over-all general communications. So, will Pittsburgh’s digital infrastructure be up to the challenge? I believe so, and then some.

Pittsburgh, PA - Well, the inevitable has arrived. I joined Twitter. (@blackballonline) I had all kinds of objections and reservations that kept me from joining. One was that the site was not about business. I was dead wrong. What a fantastic way to join the throngs and communicate with many potential customers and business colleagues. I can now see the immense business value in this and if you have not joined yet, for your sake please do. I keep my Tweets almost exclusively to business as that is my purpose on Twitter.

Twitter was easy to join and they have a great starting video on the Twitter homepage or this one which is more in depth at http://help.twitter.com/portal. Online Marketing and Advertising is all about the customer. Twitter facilitates this well when approaching it in a business sense allowing for a simple yet effective campaign to be crafted and carried out in a relatively short period of time.

To all those who prodded me, Thank you. Tweet away at me @blackballonline or visit our Pittsburgh Internet Marketing or our Pittsburgh Internet Consulting Newsblog and please sign up for our email or rss subscription.

First off, what is a business grade (or class) email address? It's an email address with your business's domain name incorporated in it, for example:  jillsmith@acme.com. Email is such a major part of business communication these days, it's surprising the number of small and home based business people who use their Yahoo or AOL, etc., etc. email address as their company email. This is like using your home phone number as your work number.  Just starting out you may have to do that, but in time you know you should probably get a separate phone number dedicated to your business.

A business class email address does say something about you. It says you took the time to register your company in the Online world, which states you are not a fly-by-night, you plan on being around, lends to credibility and when it's about work, it's about work.  People tend to feel more comfortable about doing business with other professionals using a business grade email ... probably for the reasons just mentioned.

If an enterprise that has been around for a bit hasn't taken the time to just get a business email account going, (and it's easy to do and not expensive) what then is the perception of that business taking time for me as a customer?
