We&#8217;re very excited about owning such precious web real estate. This will undeniably boost online traffic and increase awareness of our company within the local advertising industry.

Being able to include relevant information in the domain name can be extremely beneficial. If done right, it will guaranty a strong presence within search engines. Competition is fierce, so we don&#8217;t expect a number one ranking on Google or Yahoo&#8230; but we&#8217;ll definitely take first page.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://twitter.com/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-331 alignleft" title="TwitterLogo" src="http://migratedesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/TwitterLogo.png" alt="" width="200" height="50" /> </a>With Twitter rapidly becoming one of the most popular networking site, everybody wants to stand out from the horde. There has already been quite a range of quality designs showcased on various sites, which has shown an emergence of trends such as the ‘sidebar’. The sidebar is an area of screen real estate that is put to use to display additional information about the user or business, such as large profile image, bio and lists of websites and other social networks.</p>
<p>For the most part, there are <strong>three main design styles</strong> when it comes to creating your Twitter background:<br />
<em>Repeating background pattern<br />
Background graphic fading to color<br />
Extra large background graphic<br />
<span style="font-style: normal;"><br />
<img class="size-full wp-image-333 alignright" title="TwitterBird" src="http://migratedesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/TwitterBird.png" alt="" width="73" height="50" />Twitter will help you expand your professional network, promote your business and see what people are interested in. It is not too late to add Twitter to your marketing strategy. Let us design your very own, personalized Twitter background professionally and effectively. Contact <a title="Migrate Design &amp; Advertising" href="http://www.migratedesign.com" target="_blank">Migrate Design</a> for a thorough explanation of the <a title="Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter</a> community, and to discuss how your business can benefit from it.<br />
