Website Offline, Yet Again – Web Hosting Problems! My Apologies to all.

Patience with incompetency is not something I have and today I have once again come up against it.   Having said that I must have angels watching over me as I did warn my viewers that there may be a time during today that my website AdsMallorca would be down.

I was in fact aiming to do some work with updating some of the software only to find that our server’s inefficiency in renewing our domain name has led to it being off line for 3 – 6 hours. A very long time for a business starting to get established and with special offers ending in only a few days.

The lesson learned – When you have to rely on others, seek out companies that have a reputation to look after and use them for the services that you need.   Check out the reviews of companies out there that are competing for your web hosting and make sure that you do not have to go through the problems that we are experiencing at the moment.

It certainly looks like I will not only be updating the site but also the server in a very short while.  This is not the first time this has happened and until now I have let it go but if we, as a small company, want to succeed we too must be there for our clients and users at all times.  This is not possible if our server is unreliable and this reflects very badly on us.

I apologise to those people who tried to get online to AdsMallorca today and hope that they will return and try again.

I will give ample warning to all when we change servers, but I have the feeling with the hosting company that I have selected that there will be no problem and all will go very smoothly.

This will give me peace of mind and enable me to spend my time more productively gathering information etc. for the website.

Thanks again to all people who do support us – through thick and thin.  AdsMallorca is more than just another business directory it is a site for the residents of Mallorca and all people who wish to visit our wonderful island.

With a new and reliable server it will enable us to start taking on some web hosting in Mallorca and offer websites so perhaps it is a blessing in disquise, this problem – we will see!

Online Advertising proving to be most powerful advertising tool!

Online advertising whether you want to believe it or not  is proving to be the most powerful and cost-effective tool to drive potential clients to your web site. Online advertising provides maximum exposure to your products, more than any other form of advertising.  If your particular business caters mainly to online clients or you own a web site then it is extremely important to focus on online advertising which will increase the traffic to your web site.There are online advertising companies that market businesses and are usually well advertised online being visible where it matters. Use these companies  in your online advertising, have yourself a website made if you do not already have one and a link to it from your advertisement. Please note that with the advent of heavy competition in various businesses, online advertising has become a necessity, if you want to survive in business today then you need to be visible just as much online as offline.

The majority of people today buy online, it is easy, quick, less hassle and much more direct.  If you need information, where do you look?? Of course online is your first step, you Google it – every day I hear either myself or someone else say ‘Oh I’ll check it on Google’ so if you want to be seen you need to be online.

You can achieve excellent exposure of your company or website through good Online advertising.  Effective tools are SEO (search engine optimization), classified advertisements, viral marketing, classified ads, email marketing and many more free and paid forms of advertising.

If you are not sure what all of this is then use the companies around you that are already established in advertising.   If you live on the island of Mallorca check out www.AdsMallorca.com, we specialise in advertising businesses on the island.  Wherever you live check out the local online businesses first as they will specialise in your area and will therefore have targeted traffic coming to their site.

Advertise your Property For Sale in Mallorca!

Have you put an advertisement in the local paper to sell your house??  How much is it costing you?  What do potential customers see?  At a guess I would say it is costing you at least 80 Euros and all they see are up to 10 words about your property.   Where do you send your potential customers – do they need to call you or do you have your pictures up somewhere on the internet???

I have a couple of suggestions for advertising your property in Mallorca if you are selling or renting it,  for next to nothing!

• For 30 euros, for three months, you can put up information about your property, a description, five images and map location along with a contact form which is sent directly to you if a potential customer is interested in a viewing.  This way your newspaper advertising will direct potential clients to the listing to see if it is what they are looking for.  This way when they do contact you it will be because they are really interested in your property having seen images and read the description of said property.
• For 600 euros you can have your own website including domain name and hosting free for six months.  For examples please see www.antiguadreamvilla.com or www.tropicalbreezeantigua.com - sites made specifically for villas by our team at AdsMallorca under the design name JenuArt.
• If you are renting out your own property then put an ad in our Classifieds under Property Rentals for FREE.

Whatever you wish to do to advertise your property here in Mallorca then we have the solution.  Take a look at the website http://www.adsmallorca.com and then either fill in the form you are directed to if you would like a listing or contact us direct if you find it easier.  Whatever you do, do not miss this opportunity to advertise your property at its best for potential customers.
