With average computer use free antivirus protection is important. When the computer is your business then it is a must. Having some sort of antivirus protection will help to protect your system from costly outages and slow service. A good internet sercurity set up can also help to protect your private information as well as that of your clients or customers.
No matter what sort of business you are in, if you use the computer or internet to work on some facet of your operation then there is material on there that you do not want breached. Likely there is also a great deal of information on your computer that you do not want lost due to a crash or other system malfunction.
There are many companies to choose from when it comes to antivirus software. Bullguard Internet Security is one type of service that I have used that can help greatly. I have never had a complaint.
Regardless of what service you use, if you are running any part of your business with a Windows computer you need to get protection and get it now, it will be worth the price.

Want to be number one on every search engine result? Great. But, I want to know why.
In my company, my approach to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a little unorthodox. I look at what the end result is, not just what the client asks for. Wanting to be on the first page of Google is a common request, but you don't just want to be first, that doesn't do anything for you.
So let's start over. First question: What's the goal of your website? Most common answers are:
• Traffic (to gain sponsors or get google ad clicks)
• E-commerce (people actually purchase and spend money at the site)
• Get a client to contact you (You provide a service, so the client needs to call or email you)
Second question: Who is your target market? "Everyone" is not an acceptable answer. Who is the most likely to come to your site for the reasons above, or who does it the most often? The answer to this question makes a huge difference on where your strategy should go. Search engines might not be the best place to show up, it might be in user reviews or social media.
Last Question: What's the best keyword? Just because you want to show up for "golf pro" doesn't mean that's the best term for you. It might be a more complex term like "golf pro in London" or in a particular postal code or maybe "golf pro for women". An SEO expert needs to know more than just what term you want, they need to understand your market and your business intimately to really give you good advice.
Take this into consideration when you hire an SEO "expert" or service.
How do you pick keywords for your company?

Don't get caught in this circle. Create a new product. >>> Start some buzz. >>> Turn that buzz into hype. >>> Release Product. >>> Buzz becomes the equivalent of a carbonated beverage without any bubbles.
Apple's newest accessory was excitedly chattered about all over the internet. Unfortunately, they may be over hyped the release. After Steve Job's unveiling of the iPad, a number of bloggers went from pleased to chilly. The expected success of Apple may teeter on a few new doubts.
Issues brought up about the new iPad:
• Too much like an iPhone on steroids. There's discussing that function and usability has been reduced to that of a hyped-up iPhone, or a dumbed down computer, not a true notebook.
• Scammers are using apple iPad searches and pre-order sites to con fans.
• Halting software innovation.
• Less security and encryption. This means the iPad could be more vulnerable to hacks and viruses.
• No USB ports. It seems kinda silly that they left that off.
• Multitasking. Like many smartphones the iPad doesn't allow more than one program to run at a time. This has been the appeal for computers, even netbooks or notebooks have this function.
For all its fanfare, the iPad certainly seems to contain some glaring problems. As speculation about the iPad continues, we have to wonder what the future of notebook computers and even cell phones will be. These questions will be more clear after the release. iPad will be released in the UK at around £300 on March 28th. The iPad claims to have a US only release starting sometime in March.

How often do you visit Wikipedia on a daily basis?
It's a question you might not have considered before, but is worth asking. Why? Because you may not be visiting it but a substantial number of your customers probably do.
This post isn't to discuss whether Wikipedia contains accurate information or not. Plenty of other blogs and articles do that well enough already. The point I want to make here is check your facts.
Wikipedia and those "text your question" numbers and even Yahoo answers exist because we live in an information age. We can easily look up or find facts with a simple Google search. So if you put out numbers in a presentation, or on your website, be sure someone out there will compare and fact check you. It can be quite embarrassing if your facts don't check out.
Even facts about your own company need to be double-checked. Thirty of forty years ago what the public took what a company said about itself at face value. It took hours of digging to find evidence to the contrary. Now, you can just surf the better business bureau or review sites to see if you're buying from an honest business or not.
You can't control what people say about you, but you can make sure that the facts match across the board. Think of it as an incentive to stay true to good business values.
How do you fact check numbers your company releases? Have you ever been called out?
(Secondary note: if your company or field is prominent to have a Wikipedia article, double check to make sure those facts check out too!)
