Winners for the March Web Site Redesign Contest
Last month, we told you about our web site redesign giveaway and now, we are happy to announce the winners that will be getting their web sites made over by Evolve Thought Media Group.
- Accès Asie (http://www.accesasie.com/)
Selected due to the fact that they are a not for profit organization hosting large events for the Chinese community in Montreal, Canada. If you are in the Montreal area be sure to checkout this year’s Montreal Asian Heritage Festival. - Penndel Mental Health Center (http://www.penndelmhc.org/)
Selected based on many factors; the first being that we feel their current website certainly does not serve their center justice. Secondly Penndel is a private non for profit organization. - Legal Humor (http://www.lawtunes.com/)
To be perfectly honest we find this concept quite unique and funny. We’re more than happy to help promote it!
Congratulations to the winners, thanks to Evolve Thought Media Group for helping us with this, and as always, stay tuned for more great web hosting giveaways and contests!

Google AdWords & Your Search Engine Marketing Odyssey
Posted by: | Comments
We all know that getting your website set up is just the beginning of growing your online presence. For that reason, Lunarpages is dedicated to bringing you the information and resources you need to accelerate your business growth. Check out our website for information about our search engine marketing programs.
Recently we partnered with Google to send every Lunarpages customer a time-sensitive coupon to try Google AdWords. Be sure to check your mail and be sure to redeem the coupon quickly so you don’t forfeit it!
Our partner, LocalDirective, offers some tips to make best use of your coupon:
- The structure of information in Google is: Campaigns > AdGroups > Text Ads & Keywords.
- Before you get started, determine the geography you want to target. If you plan to target two different geographical areas, you will need to create a campaign for each one.
- For each campaign, you will have at least a few AdGroups. Think about AdGroups as thematic, so that for each area of focus, you will want to have one adgroup. If you are a plumber, for instance, you may have AdGroups for Sewer & Drain Cleaning, Emergency Plumbing, Plumbing Fixture Installation, etc.
- For each AdGroup, you will pick a number of keywords that you believe people might search for, using Google’s Keyword Tool to help you choose.
- For each AdGroup, you will want to set up at least two text ads, and choose to have the ads rotate, so you can find out what appeals most to your audience.
- For each text ad, instead of sending visitors to your home page, send them to the destination page that most closely matches the keywords in the AdGroup.
- Finally, don’t forget to redeem your coupon and set a daily budget so you don’t spend more than you want to!
- Then, sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor! Best of luck for SPECTACULAR results!!!

Google’s Real Time Search Future – The way Google indexes your web sites might be changing soon. Rather than relaying solely on the crawling method, they will also be indexing your content instantly. This means as soon as you create a new web page, it will be up on Google in seconds, not days or weeks.
Introduction to CSS Web Design – Adding a Cascading Style Sheet to your current web site layout and save you time and make your web site look a lot more professional in the process. Cascading Style Sheets, or sometimes referred to as CSS, is a style sheet language used to describe how a web page should be formatted.
Make Your Twitter Page Stand Out – How often do you use Twitter? You might just use it to follow a few friends, or you might use it to market your web site projects. There are a lot of ways to use Twitter as a service. My question that I pose to you is, how can you make it better looking?
Fix Web Site Errors with Webmaster Tools – Did you know that Google Webmaster Tools could help you find and fix errors on your web site? As Google crawl through your web site links, it finds and logs all the errors it encounters. It then (if you have your domain setup with a Google Webmaster Tools account) will turn around and tell you what the errors are so that you can get them fixed.
