Not All Malaysia Website Design Companies Are Honest

Email spam is a continuous problem in Malaysia because we have no guidelines (yet), therefore no penalties towards these companies. Nonetheless, here’s a spam email of another Malaysia website design company who was promoting their Content Management System (CMS) solution.

If you don’t know what’s a Content Management System (CMS), here it is in short:

A content management system (CMS) is a computer application used to create, edit, manage, and publish content in a consistently organized fashion.

In the email spam, they compared the benefits of using a hosted CMS solution to a tailor made CMS and lastly, an open source (free of use) CMS solution. While I applaud their effort to increase awareness and education of a Content Management System, I personally found part of the truth was missing.

Can someone tell me what’s wrong with this image?

Here’s a little more information on the education of a Content Management System (CMS). Normally, CMS solutions have no restrictions to the number of webpages you may create for your website.

At least, that’s what my Malaysia website design company; Simpleet, believes in whenever we offer and recommend a CMS solution to our clients.

Now, I’d like to be very clear. Every Malaysia website design company may have their own marketing strategy. What I’m doing here is filling the space, about the benefit of having your own Content Management System (CMS) solution.

Which is, the authority to create as many webpages as you want when you are given a Content Management System (CMS) solution.

Or, do you think otherwise?

Tracking Twitter Marketing Performance

Twitter has slowly but confidently grown to be a massive online marketing tool for small-business owners to celebrities like Ashton Kutcher, Guy Kawasaki, Britney Spears and etc. The entrepreneurial Twitter users are using the online marketing tool to promote their business and personally share knowledge they’ve stumbled online.

However, I’ve noticed Twitter is now missing a key tool for it be a real business enhancer. Which is to track the marketing performance done on it.

Here’s a quick example, imagine McDonalds Malaysia used Twitter as part of their online marketing campaign. I’ve advised them to use Twitter to share their McDonalds vouchers online and ask their friends with Twitter accounts to do the same. After all, who doesn’t like freebies?

I’ve posted on Twitter a catchy headline along with a call-to-action for people to get more information or download the vouchers right away.

But what’s lacking right now for me as the advisor to McDonalds is, I can’t track how many people viewed or activated the link.

Twitter is definitely not the only role to play here, even URL shortening services could think about implementing a performance tracker. A simple number of how many users activated the link is good enough.

Wouldn’t you want to track your twitter performance besides only generating the number of followers?
