Everybody’s doing it

November 4th, 2006

In case you haven’t heard, the internet reached the 100 million mark last month according to the Netcraft Web Server Survey.  According to the report, over 3.5 million sites were added in October 2006 alone.  The report also notes that this www boom is in large part due to Small Businesses and blogs.

Planning to fail

November 3rd, 2006

There is an interesting video clip now showing on CNN.com. The clip is from Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Conference and features Ariana Huffington and Marissa Mayer of Google discussing an intriguing business practive of the king of all search engines.

The big G’s policy is to always build in a failure rate of 60-70% for all new product launches. Mayer explains that in a fluid business like the internet game, historically at least 2 of every 5 new ventures fail. She says that by incorporating a high failure rate into the planning of each new offering, Google is better able to move quickly in the event of either the success or failure.

Many business experts and coaches often preach the value of positive thinking or believing your way to success.

Do you think planning ahead for failure is a key to overall success or a surefire path to doom?

We’re Live!

October 29th, 2006

I think it’s important for all small business websites to have blogs for a multitude of reasons.  I’m sure I’ll get into those later on this very blog!  But mainly, I feel that when you are working in a virtual industry, it’s helpful to give your customers as many opportunities to get to know you and your style as possible…whether they ever choose to read them or not!
Anyway, I am excited to announce the launch of  DW Web Solutions and the DW Web Solutions Blog.

I’m Dana Wallert.  I run DW Web Solutions, DW Office Solutions and DW Articles.  Yes, I am totally trying to start an empire!  That or I just really like my initials…probably a bit of both.

Well, as I said, I have been quite anxious to get my new website design, hosting and management for small business site up and running.  If you have a minute, feel free to explore the site.  We offer several web design solutions packages and also custom solutions.

So anywho, enough flagrant self promotion for now.  I will be updating this blog as often as possible and want to include information on all aspects of website design, promotion, marketing, SEO, etc.
