Welcome to the Net Commerce Solutions news pages on developments in the marketplace and in our web site services for UK and overseas business clients.
INTERNET TRENDS AND NEWS
April 2009: Accessibility - W3C, the worldwide authority body for many web standards, has now published WCAG 2.O. This updated Accessibility Standard will succeed the existing standard WCAG 1.0 which has applied for many years.
The standards statement comprises four principles, underpinned by 9 guidelines, which are set out in some detail.
NCS have already announced that they are adopting the SortSite tool offered by Electrum Solutions as part of the NCS accessibility validation process. - SortSite provides evaluation of both WCAG 1.0 and WCAG 2.0.
NCS will announce shortly its enhanced Accessibility Service, spanning PC and mobile web access.
Updates on web developments are provided by NCS regularly in its newsletter.
WEB DEVELOPMENTS AND NEWS FROM NCS
March 2009 - Free Directories: the attitude of the Search Engines towards paid directories has increased the importance of being entered in highly ranked free directories. Research by NCS over a two month period to review c2,000 directories, described as "Free", found that only approximately 5% were actually free.
Many concealed their fees, until the final stage of the submission process, eg a "submission fee". Others concealed, until late in the submission process, the fact that a reciprocal link would be needed before entry was allowed.
May 2009 - NCS regular newsletter, NetNews, issued. The main article discussed the Credit Crunch and gave practical examples from the NCS team and their clients on how to use the web to keep a business growing despite the impact of the recession.
International Reach - NCS gained new web promotion assignments for clients in Australia and New Zealand during early 2009, emphasising our increasing number of internationally-based clients.
NCS SERVICE DEVELOPMENTS
Web Promotion News - Online Press Releases and Article Marketing Services are part of the web promotion services offered by NCS.
Both services have been restructured recently - they are useful tools for increasing the site visibility and distributing content from sites.
March 2009 - NCS Directory Submission Service - NCS has relaunched its Directory Submission Service ie to achieve client inclusion in high quality free directories.
Research for the relaunch included an individual review of over 2,000 UK and international directories. The work was triggered by the need for sites to be careful about their entry in paid directories (see above under March 2009:Free Directories).
Link building services are a key part of NCS web promotion services. Please contact us if you would like help with your link popularity programme.
July 2009 - Link Popularity Ranking - for 3 consecutive months, May, June and July 2009, NCS has been ranked as the UK's Best Link Popularity Services Company by TopSeo. com - the highly ranked independent authority on search vendors.
