Internet vs. Yellow Pages

Because more people use the internet for day to day activities there has been less need for the Yellow Pages and more need for a web presence. Reports suggest that businesses big or small should take the money they would put towards Yellow Page advertising and focus more on the Internet.

Studies have shown that more people search the Internet for local information rather than grabbing the local Yellow Pages. The Internet can be a wonderful tool for your business to reach not only local markets but also global markets.

The benefits of using the Internet vs. the Yellow Pages are:

easily track markets
entire website of content about your company
reaching local and global markets
changes to site can be easy and made as frequently as you need

Contact ETC Computerland's Web Sales for more information on your businesses web presence, at 217-228-6180.

Is the site you are visiting secure?

The web is great for doing a lot of things “after hours” that we couldn’t before – banking leaps to mind. With the web, “banker’s hours” are a thing of the past. Just like in the physical world though, it’s important to keep security in mind when you do your banking.

So make sure when you go to login to your online bank or bill pay that you’re logging into a secure site. You’ll see a secure lock icon in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window (not in the window itself). And look to make sure that the web address (URL) is preceded by “https.” The “s” stands for secure. If all is in place, you’re on a secure site.
