Chairman Todhost,

I know you are looking for customers to patronize your business, but when you write tutorials, keep in mind that there are a million and million websites that might have published the same information and even more concrete than you have, so dont throw misleading information on their faces.

Im not angry, im speaking for a professional perspective here.

You publish an article about: How to create a blog with a Joomla website. One-third of the article is about Joomla and two-thirds is about tod-hosts services. The title and the content are grossly misleading.

I checked another of your articles titled: A step-by-step guide on how to create a WordPress blog; and you did the same thing.

My point is: allow the reader / visitor to be completely informed about the subject matter first. Let the information you provide be independent of the services you are rendering. You could as well write tutorials specific to your own services and put them in another category, perhaps to be featured in a list by the sidebar or somewhere.

If and when you are seen to be an expert on the free information you provide, they(visitors to your website, etc) will naturally make more enquiries, then it would be easy for you to convert them from mere visitors to potential customers and then to customers. They would eventually ask you to provide such services for them, without actually forcing information about the services down their throats.

The downside of all this is that if you take a summary of articles in a year and summarize them, continuing with your above strategy, your site wont be noted for tutorials and articles that can help the random visitor, your site would just keep on linking to itself. Its like this: what do you call someone who always talks about himself?

I contribute articles on a site where I have running to 4,500 tech articles all around wordpress, joomla, drupal,cms- tutorials, webdesign, hosting, etc., and over time I discovered that people who visited the site, and got help, made comments thanking me for the help I provided through my posts; and asked questions and suggestions about where to get these services from. By that time, it was easy to tell them I could provide such services.

regards
HK
