We would like to say thank you to all of the brave men and women who risked their own lives to save others during the 9/11 crisis.
We also want to say we appreciate all the men and women in the armed forces right now who are defending our freedom and doing their duty, even when it may seem like there is no end in sight.
We sympathize with those who lost loved ones to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and pray for their families and friends.
God bless America

I did a site check today by typing the following on Google
site:www.impulsewebdesigns.com
This will show you all pages in your site that have been indexed by Google.
I recommend doing this if you have a large site like mine that you change often. I quickly realized that I had some old pages that were indexed that I had forgotten about!
This tool will also help you see what search engine users will see when they find your page – it displays the title of the page and the description that is in the description meta tag. Knowing what users see can help you know what to modify and change. For instance, the search results returned by Google do not show the entire title tag or description so you might want to move certain keywords to the front of those page elements.
This is also a good tool to see what your competitors are up to. : )

We can help setup a forum or a blog on your website to help build community, share ideas and also provide a good SEO resource.
Forums and blogs can provide you with an opportunity to see what people think about your website, services, products, etc.
The topics that you create on your blog should be related to the service you are providing or the product you are selling.
If your blog is seperate from your website, you should always link back to your main site from your blog.
Well-managed blogs can also rank very high on Google and bring traffic to your site.
5 Reasons to Build a Blog according to Yahoo:
- Expose a new or unfamiliar product or idea
- Improve your search engine rankings.
- Position yourself as an expert in an industry or field.
- Influence public opinion.
- Engage in a forum openly with your customers.
We can setup most blogs (Google Blogger, WordPress, etc.) and modify their given templates so that the look like your current web design.

This is a question I come across often as I continually work on different sites for the same compay.
The situation is usually the same: one company has multiple websites that are related and therefore the idea is to link all the sites together to increase the back-links for each site.
Is this such a good idea or not? According to this video, no.
