SEO for eCommerce

By • September 19, 2011 • Blog, SEO • Leave a comment

Google, Bing, Yahoo etc etc. Search is still the primary way that potential customers find, research and shop for purchases, by quite a big margin actually. And even with the rise in recommendations via social networks and social media, search is still used to then find the best price or a reputable retailer, or reinforce the recommendation of any brand online.

So having your products & website rank as highly as possible in search engine results is an extremely good thing, and can make a huge difference to the amount that you take in at the checkout desk. In the case of top supermarkets and stores, ranking just one or two places higher can make a difference of millions to their profits, particularly if they are in the ‘top three’ results for a specific search, as those results get 70% of all of our clicky fingers.

Creating a Post/Blog Entry in WordPress

By • June 25, 2011 • Tutorials, Wordpress • Leave a comment

A blog is basically an online diary or journal that digitally records about anything you would want people to read. “Blog” is short for the term weblog and a term coined in humor in the late 1990′s. They come in different styles and formats, support and settings, all depending upon user preferences. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting).

Of the numerous topics displayed by blogs, perhaps the best known are political, personal, niche, travel, health, religious, and educational. All serve to be a collective of a specific topic written or produced by an individual or by a group of people. Read More…

Introduction to WordPress Blogging

By • June 25, 2011 • Tutorials, Wordpress • Leave a comment

“Blog” is an abbreviated version of “weblog,” which is a term used to describe web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. A blog features diary-type commentary and links to articles on other Web sites, usually presented as a list of entries in reverse chronological order. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.

Many blogs focus on a particular topic, such as web design, home staging, sports, or mobile technology. Some are more eclectic, presenting links to all types of other sites. And others are more like personal journals, presenting the author’s daily life and thoughts.

Generally speaking (although there are exceptions), blogs tend to have a few things in common: Read More…

JAMJO: 1 RECESSION: 0

By • March 30, 2011 • Blog • 2 Comments

Today JAMJO is 1:) We shall be celebrating this 1 year milestone when we get a break from the pixels…

When we started out a year ago we thought that it’d just be fun to build some websites and start making some mula to fund our madness (this was probably our main motivation to start JAMJO up:). Since the first JAMJO creation went live though, we’ve simply been creating one JAMJO gem after another… and it’s  most fun!….

Our second year starts here and we have a lot of some really exciting creations, new services and ideas to come…watch this here space for for some really great new sites and upcoming launches. We have worked with the greatest clients a company could wish for over the past 12 months and some amazing projects to boot….. social networks, arts blogs, Recording studios, and sites based in Ireland, Thailand, Australia, London and the USA… (I know i’ve left some place out!!)

In fact we are setting ourselves some lofty targets in terms of stats for the new edition of smallbusinesscan.com so hopefully we will be adding to this blog post in the near future. Small Businesses in Ireland aint dead just yet despite what the man/woman on the news say!! ;) Read More…

MyHire.ie features in the Cork Independent Newspaper

By • January 14, 2011 • Blog • Leave a comment

All of us here are pretty proud of a little website we launched recently that has already been getting some good press. Traction is something every website launch looks for and myhire.ie is certainly getting that. The first of these news articles follows……… so read on for the official bit! :)

Check out the orginal article: New website set to transform hire market
A new website that aims to connect people looking for goods and services and those looking to rent out goods and services has been launched in Ireland. MyHire.ie is a tool whereby people looking to rent items on a short-term basis can browse online catalogues and those with goods that they are not currently using can upload them for rent.

Those with services to offer and those looking for service providers may use the site on the same basis. Managing Director David O’Leary says: “We are very excited with the launch of the website and feel that it targets a niche in the market not currently served. The list of hiring possibilities is endless and as the site includes both products and services so it really is open to all.” Read More…

Waterford Its a Feeling

By • November 15, 2010 • Blog • Leave a comment

Time for another project update folks and its a biggy… “Waterford Its a Feeling” will become County Waterford’s main channel for sharing tourism information and alerting everyone in the county and beyond about all things taking place in Waterford. Events, activities, sight seeing, trails, water sports (the list is endless really…) and with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month and six-figure email subscription rates this will prove to be a busy place on the Net:) Early next year we will be launching a completely revamped version of their welcomewaterford.ie website called itsafeeling.com — the first full overhaul in many years.

To help make sure that all dedicated users know about the changes that are coming and can take advantage of the improvements from day one, the Team here at Jamjo and Inspiretto will be updating our Blogs regularly on this project as its rolled out in the new year. Looks like a busy christmas kids but im sure we will squeeze in a piece of cake and a few quiet ones!!…. Read More…
