The BangSlush! Invention

Did you know that within a couple years time, your water heater’s bottom element will be surrounded by slushy deposits? Instead of heating nice, clean water in the tank, it begins to heat up those deposits!

With the BangSlush! Hot Water Heater Cleaning Apparatus, you can simply and easily clean the muck, slush and mineral buildup out of your water heater, extending the life of both the heater as well as the heating elements.

In addition to his amazing cleaning product, he also innovated a common water heater product: the element socket. Usually element sockets allow you to unscrew the heating element, however they provide no stability or support to remove it from the actual tank. The BangSlush! Element Socket not only unscrews the device and provides stability to remove the element, but also attaches to any regular drill for easy removal!

Originally coming to us for a simple marketing consultation, we had the pleasure of working with the complete branding, video shoot/design and website design.

Excitement quickly waned when I went to pick up the truck and discovered that the car dolly was in another city, about thirty miles away. The rental agent knew it was there, he had confirmed it by phone earlier in the day, but that was where his customer service ended. If I still wanted it I could drive the 60 miles round trip to get it. On the way to the next town I also discovered that the air conditioning did not work. I discussed the situation with the Budget Truck folks in their national call center only to be told that they “understood my concerns” but if I would keep the truck since another was not available they would make a considerable compensation at the end of my trip. That should have been a warning- they refused to say what the compensation would be.

Forced against the clock I opted to continue with Budget Truck. To make a long story short, two days later I arrived at my destination with second degree sunburn from having to leave the windows rolled down due to stifling heat and one instance of the truck breaking down enroute. After returning the truck I made the dutiful call to Budget truck to see what my “significant compensation” would be. Amazing! They were willing to drop a $1200 bill down by $25. Yes, $25 for sending me 60 miles out of my way and suffering in pain for two weeks as sun-caused blisters slowly healed.

I am always looking for a good deal; priding myself on being price-conscious. But over the years I’ve come to realize that good deals are not always good in the end. I’ve listened to hundreds of clients explain to me the woes of past “budget” website designers. How the designers failed to keep their promises, gave a song and a dance that drew them in only to send them on an unfulfilling distant journey that left them bitter and hurt.

I started Wiregrass Advertising with the mindset that I would be honest with people- fair and upright. I would design every website as if I was designing it for my own business and was dependent on that website for my livelihood (which in fact, I was). I knew the only way to become successful in my business was to make my clients successful, so I sat down with everyone of them and gave heart-felt advice, even when it was not asked for. Many of my clients took my advice and saw their businesses grow. Others scoffed or ignored and many of these folks are out of business now.

I’m not saying that I am perfect, or that I have not made mistakes. But when it comes to my business and my web design clients, I feel they deserve more than the “Budget Truck” business model. They are coming to me for a website that works, and that’s exactly what I intend to give them.

Now choosing to not save your information on your computer and inputting your website’s credentials from memory or paper each time can be an impossible task, especially if you have a number of websites to work with.

Content management systems have helped to cut down on the amount of ability for a malicious script (malware) to insert its code into the site. However if a cms is not kept updated to protect from threats and intrusions, it can become a nightmare for you to clean both your filesystem and database.

Don’t let this scare you out of maintaining your website and going offline altogether! There are tools to help. We recommend having a preventative maintenance plan.

1. Scan your computer regularily with your antivirus program. If you don’t have one, get one. We personally use Microsoft Security Essentials, but there are quite a few out there to choose from. The biggest tip for all of these programs is to keep them updated. Many malware scripts come out each day and these updates help to protect you from them.
2. When you see that something strange on your computer, you can search a bit deeper by using a comprehensive scanner, such as Malwarebytes.

If you want to promote your security to your online customers and visitors, you can go a bit further and add on website scanning services, such as SiteLock. We do not always recommend going this far, but feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help you with it!

I know malware can be a scary compromise to your computer, but with a good plan, you can say protected. On our websites and servers, we work hard to keep your websites protected as well. If you ever have any ideas or concerns, please feel free to contact us anytime.

When Tim Alexander first envisioned and began what is Wiregrass Advertising, he began it with a heart for excellent customer service and professional marketing strategies that enable your website to work successfully. When I resumed his role in January of this year, I quickly found how big his shoes really were to fill. I have truly learned much and have enjoyed this growing experience. I want to thank you for hanging in there with us and allowing us to continue to serve you.

We are excited about some things coming to you this next year. We have worked on many server upgrades and enhancements to allow your websites not only to stay up and running, but also enabling them to work faster!

Also, this past year we launched a new project entitled Low Cost Easy Websites. You can now receive a professionally designed website built onto a cloud based platform making it easy for you to make changes and add items, all for a very low price. Our next newsletter will further focus on the features and aspects of this project as we officially roll it out. In the meantime, check out www.lowcosteasywebsites.com.

We also have been working really hard on a new webmail program that is much easier to use and is both mobile and tablet compatible.

Even though the economy may not be at its peak, we are still here for you in the long run. I have never been more excited about the opportunities we have been working on and also the ones in the works.

I know that my career completely comes from you. For that, I want to thank you for being part of the Wiregrass Advertising family! Anytime you have questions or just want to chat, feel free to contact us or come by if you’re in the area.

Sincerely Yours for Success,

We had a couple out of Georgia come over and want us to build them a website built off a pin-board idea similar to Pinterest.  The interesting part of this site is they wanted to design an experience that is specifically intended for teens.  After speaking with them for a while we realized they were right about the fact that there are no teen specific social sites anymore.  We as adults have somewhat wrestled away the sites that were initially intended for young people so we set out on creating an exciting new site for teens.

At www.teen-terest.com you can pin interesting things you find all over the internet to any number of different boards.  From fashion to humor to information, it is all there waiting to be discovered.  We have even incorporated a handy pin-it button that can be installed directly on your browser’s toolbar.

This is a teen friendly site that is watched closely by the admins to ensure it stays that way.  This amazing site is in its early stages so go on over and check it out so it can continue to grow and bring exciting new experiences in social networking for teens.

Dixie Dirt Rub

Jeff experimented with his butt rub seasoning for years before finally perfecting it, and he hasn’t stopped using it on everything from chicken to pork and beef.  He has truly come up with a recipe that is unique to Andalusia, Alabama, his hometown and the surrounding area.

His rub resembles the red clay that we all know and love.  Jeff enjoys showing everyone how it even clumps like the local dirt. Don’t worry though, it may look like dirt but it tastes like heaven.  This rub is fit to put on anything you care to dine on.  It will add a little hint of sweet spice to whatever savory food finds its way to your grill.

We are extremely excited to have been privileged enough to assist Dixie Dirt Rub in this endeavor. So go check out one of our newest sites at www.dixiedirtrub.com and pick up some of the best butt rub in town!

From the surface, this seems like a small, harmless addition, and it very well might be that. However, they are taking into account how many copyright removal notices a website receives and will alter their ranking based on that information. According to Google’s SVP, Engineering, Amit Singhal, “Sites with high numbers of removal notices may appear lower in our results”.

Their aim is to bring results to users that are high quality and useful not just duplicated content over again. But who determines the high number of notices and else the ranking in the results? If your content and media could be attributed to someone else, your page one ranking could turn sour quickly!

We always encourage our clients to be original and very unique in the wording and media used on the site to keep these new changes from altering a great ranking website. Wiregrass Advertising has been providing its clients with high quality content, media and designs for over eight years. Contact us today for more information!
