xod Media/Oasis Health Food Drive Collects 416 Lbs

Our annual food drive was a great success. xod Media and Oasis Health put on a great event collecting 416 Lbs for the local food drive; too bad 50 lbs was expired. Please remember these are real people who need help. Great donations included toilet paper, paper towels, cat and dog food, plus many other everyday items we never think of. Thanks to our many clients and friends who made this possible.

Web Hosting Size Space Increase

What's better than 50 GB of web space? 100 GB of web space. We've doubled the size of our corporate hosting package from 50GB to 100 GB. And while we're added, we doubled the transfer limit from 500 GB to 1,000 GB / month. All at no additional cost.

xod Media is back to school...well kinda

After closing our offices for August, our staff had a much needed break. Walking in the doors in September was just like going back to school. Bright and shiny faces, new clothes, batteries recharged and we're ready for homework from our teachers...err, I mean projects from our clients. A+ everyone.

xod Media Goes Fishing

It's good to be a staffer at xod Media. Why? Because we're giving our staff the month of August off. That's right, xod Media is taking the month of August off. We still have a group of people who prefer to answer phones and work on projects, so you won't be complete left alone.

How Do I Get Ranked on the Search Engines?

Updated Feb 2, 2013 - Getting your website ranked on the search engines is such a big topic now. Additionally, the rules that get you ranked is changing all the time too.

Here are the basics you need to know.

Use proper programing that follows the rules of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), they write the rules saying how your website should be programmed so it reaches the largest audience possible
Have a lot of content that actually helps people. Avoid the sales pitches and hard sales approached. Educate your client and give them a reason to share your content
Use Google's Keyword Tool and do some research on Keywords. Name your pages, add this to the titles and talk about these keywords people are search for.
Market the website. The website needs to be marketed. You want people to talk about you. The easiest way for you to do that is with social media, like Google+, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn.
- if you hires a company like ours, we'll build thousands of connections for you each month by hand. This will really save you a lot of time and money

These are the basics to getting ranked on the search engines. If you really need a hand, ask an SEO company to take a look at your website and do some research into why you are not getting ranked.
