Hello Kolb Net Works Clients and Friends
Thanks for your kind, positive comments and suggestions for this newsletter. One of the goals of this newsletter is to help our clients and friends see how easy it is to put out a monthly newsletter. So far we are 5 for 5 for getting the newsletter out every month this year! 

Site Launch News
Outreach for K-12 Department project:  www.teachaboutwood.org  - provides high school teachers with really helpful information, including lesson planning guides for wood and forestry related classes. This site features a free registration area, discussion forums for educators and a place for teachers to upload their lesson plans for sharing with other teachers.  

Zartman Construction, www.zartman.com -  is Central Pennsylvania's full service general contractor.  Conventional construction or pre-engineered buildings, new buildings to complex remodeling, they can meet your construction needs.  

Welcome New KNW Clients
This month, we started a site for Lycoming County Conservation District, part of Lycoming County government. This informational site will be part of the www.lyco.org web site.  

Web Site Funding
Did you know that some companies are using co-op advertising dollars to help fund their web site development costs?  Co-op ad dollars come from sources including manufacturers and large brand companies. You know how a menu sign in a diner may feature a large Coke logo? That could be an example of Co-op ad dollars at work. Another example is when computer manufacturers like Dell and Gateway feature the Intel graphic and sound logos in their commercials. Intel pays part of the cost of the commercial in order to be included in the ad. Some of our clients already earmark co-op ad dollars to help with their web site development costs. Contact me for more details.  

Internet Marketing
I ran into a new term recently that I’d like to share with you: “Google Dance”.

Since Google is currently the most popular search engine, it gets watched closely by Internet marketing professionals. Some pros have seen a search result data pattern that they have named the Google Dance.  Sometimes, during the search engine database updates, several of the Google servers www.google.com, www2.google.com www3.google.com  (the last 2 are thought to be test servers) can give different results for the same search phrase. When this occurs, the servers are said to be “dancing”. See http://www.google-dance.com/ for more info and to see where your web site and keywords are in the Google Dance.

Newsletter Tips
One of the reasons that producing an email newsletter is attractive (remember, that’s the reason I send this newsletter, so you consider sending one out for your company, too) is the low cost. There’s no paper cost, no ink cost, no printing cost, and no mailing cost. If you want a great looking graphic newsletter shell you may have a one time design fee.  When you consider all the possible ways of keeping in touch with your clients about your services and products, email is certainly a very attractive option.  

As you start your email newsletter address list, please include my email address so I can see how you’re doing.

Regards,
