It’s been a while since the last update on our blog but there’s been many interested project we’ve been working on and it was very hard to keep you up to date on this and … ( excuses, excuses, excuses ) but I’d like to share or at least mention this braking point here of our old client JDMcNicioll Interiors witch was keeping us busy lately. Working hard on Search engine optimization and their content management system is starting to pay back now and there’s been some interesting numbers going on when it comes to online traffic going towards to JDMcNicoll interiors website. Numbers of online visitors are literally doubled since the last month from 489 visits a month to 1150 visits a month for very high frequency Google keywords and phrases like “furniture toronto”, “interior design toronto” and “furniture stores toronto” with was our main goal.
We decided to convert this heavy growing numbers in to a revenue and launch their entire furniture line online where visitors will be able to not only shop online for their existing furniture but customize the way they like or fit it to their budget. JDMcNicoll Interiors is a custom mill work company so when I’m saying customizing the furniture online I mean choosing the material, finish, color, hardware and so on where visitor will be provided with an immediate pricing as well. The online store is still in beta development stage but we are working hard to deliver it as soon a possible so stay tuned.

Since the internet offered you the ability to choose the product you are interested in, you search and you choose based on what you are looking for. We search for products because it’s convenient, fast and we get what we want. Yesterday many Toronto and Mississauga companies offered me their products and services that I’m not interested in by very traditional way. Taking out only 3 letters addressed to me and over 100 pages of flayers and commercial materials that I have never signed up for, from my mailbox is a common thing in where I live. It’s actually my daily routine and I got use to it. My landlord keeps a big trash bin near by and everyone simply sort through their junk mail hoping to find the real one and the rest goes to the trash. But not this time. There was just too much junk-mail in that bin. It didn’t even fit in to it anymore and it was all over the floor. It was really hard to not notice that and that made me thinking. I decided to find out how much of that junk mail is actually read by us because it was more than obvious that most of it is thrown away. By comparing the content in a junk-mail bin and my mailbox, suggesting that everyone is receiving the same offers, turned my micro project in to some stunning results.

It has been about 2,5 years I was using Google to search in each web browser since I am working here in IBM as a graphic designer and I realized that Google is starting to give me less relevant results every day.

Pure fact here is, that social bookmarking has been building it’s network for longer than Google, Yahoo! or another search engine. This is reason number one why del.icio.us is more powerful tool to me than any search engine. Second reason why I’m going to use del.icio.us from now on is, that the “human factor” gets involved here finally. Search engines’ results are algorithm calculations del.icio.us is bringing only the important content in to my focus and that’s what I need.

What is even more interesting, all these thinks he is talking about are pretty much happening in frond of my eyes every day and I subconsciously realize them, I just don’t have enough time to analyze them deep enough like he does. But thankfully interactive internet brings me this massage as a video stream, so lacy me. I highly recommend, just be careful, it may start a storm in my head.

Jazz fm 91,1 is much more than just a radio station. It is a touchstone for showcasing Canadian talent, supporting those who teach, train and develop that talent, and creating a new generation of jazz aficionados through information, education and entertainment.
