YellowWebMonkey Web Design

Oakwood Cemetery, founded in 1878 has chosen YellowWebMonkey to design their new website.

Mike Staas Services is "plumb cool" and now they have a "cool" new website to match.  The company offers commercial and residential plumbing and HVAC services in the central Texas area.  The website includes information on the services Mike Staas offers and reflects the image  of a trusted family owned business.

 YellowWebMonkey just launched a new website for BugsDotCom, a Waco based pest control company that services all of central Texas.  The challenge was to create a website that was not just eye catching, but also interesting,educational and of course, easy for people to find.    The site contains all the information you would expect, plus a few extras.  It has an extensive library of all the products BugsDotCom uses stored in a nifty little file cabinet.  Another fun feature is the Bugapedia, where you can easily identify insects common to the central Texas area.  Did you know "Flies taste with their feet?" Probably not, but check out the Fun Facts that appear throughout the site to learn more about the insects common to Texas. This site includes:

• Easy to use interface making it easy to schedule an appointment or learn what services they offer
• Pest Gallery so clients can easily identify pests common to central Texas
• Integrated with Social Media with large icons making it easy to connect along with a live Twitter feed
• Downloadable MSDS label base for all of their products
• Testimonial database
• Features "Best of Waco"

Like many others, I routinely look at my Google Analytics to see how these things affect my traffic, hoping for that upward trend line that lets me feel like my website is doing something for my business (umm, especially since my business is web design).

A little while back I saw this huge spike in traffic. From one day to the next, my traffic went up 500% and sustained at that level for two weeks. What was it that brought all these glorious new people to the land of YellowWebMonkey Web Design? It was a CraigsList ad I had posted, looking to hire some part-time data entry help to finish a backlog of projects.

That peak got me thinking, “what are some other EASY and FREE ways to get more traffic to my site?” Doing some more research, here is what I came up with:
