July 2007

 

Dear Reader

Welcome to Momentum's first e-newsletter. Whether you are a Momentum customer, have met us at a networking event or come to know us through The Oxford Web Group's seminars (www.oxford-web-group.org.uk), I hope that you find this monthly newsletter informative and useful. Rather than just tell you stuff about us, we want this newsletter to provide real value and interest to its readers.

The newsletter will primarily feature industry news, tips and expert advice that should prove invaluable to anyone reliant on the web to generate sales. Please submit your feedback and any questions you have about web marketing or the do's and don'ts of working with search engines so that we can feature this information in subsequent newsletters. 

Best wishes, Jonathan Fink

Web Marketing Tip

Domains and URLs

If trying to rank highly on Google, there is some advantage in using keywords within a URL, such as search-engines-tighten-privacy.html. But if you choose to separate the words in the URL with an underscore character _, then this advantage may be lost, as Google does not apparently recognise underscores as space separators; always use hyphens to separate keywords…
