		<description><![CDATA[LeTourneau Mining Products is the producer of the world's largest rubber tired front-end wheel loader. The Giant L-2350 takes a payload of over 70 tonnes in one bucket load, wow! Curious Media were asked to deliver a website that showcased their cutting-edge machines in all their glory...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Curious Media came up with the Letourneau Generation 2 Virtual tour, and what a great result! The tour displayed the Letourneau products concisely, to the point and with the visual impact that they were looking for. Have a look at what the client had to say.</p>
<p>&#8220;The mining industry is all about achieving the highest productivity by utilising the best technologies available. As one of the world’s leading OEM’s in Large Mining Wheel Loaders and Dozers, LeTourneau is a company that lives by these values in delivering mining equipment that is built for purpose.  So it is no surprise that we look for the same strengths amongst our suppliers, particularly those who are charged with enhancing our brand.</p>
<p>Bayley and the team at Curious Media Developments were a were able to consistently deliver high quality design solutions on spec, on cost and on time, culminating in the development of the LeTourneau Virtual Tour.  This powerful marketing tool has been the driving force behind promoting our Generation 2 product range and educating key decision making clientele of the revolutionary design features found in each LeTourneau machine.</p>
<p>The complexities of this task however did not phase the team at Curious who used their exceptional creative abilities to not only enhance our existing marketing scope, but also generate new ideas to produce what has become the flagship marketing program in our repertoire.</p>
<p>I highly recommend the work completed by the  Curious tea and look forward to continuing our relationship with them in the future.&#8221;</p>

<ol start="1">
<li>The inbound links will remain live ongoing/indefinitely, or until the agreement is cancelled by either party</li>
<li>A link building report will be provided monthly detailing all live links built and theme links will be built containing your selected keyword</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Why do we offer Free SEO?</strong> We need to increase our resources (links), and in order to do so we need to recruit new SEO Partners into the Free SEO program.  In return, we point quality, one way, inbound industry related links towards their sites, which allows the sites to attract more traffic, and ultimately more business.</p>
<p>All we ask in return is to build a non-intrusive folder (resource folder) within a website, where we upload fresh, unique, relevant and themed content, and link out to our paid clients sites.   We are not looking to affect the way a site looks or its functionality; this is a mutually beneficial partnership, whereby, the more our partners gain from this, the more that we gain; so it’s really is in our interest to get our partners more authority in Google, and higher rankings.</p>
<p>The resource folder is a non-intrusive link containing 5 pages of relevant content and links out to our client sites.   Prior to uploading the resource folder, a server check needs to be carried out to check if our scripts (server side scripts) work on the server the site is hosted with.  Clients are welcome to carry out the server check themselves, or if they provide us with temporary FTP access, we can do it for them.  The server check takes around 30 seconds to complete, and the folder is removed once we confirm everything is OK.  The full set up files are then to be uploaded (resource folder) to the root directory.</p>
<p>Please note, if FTP access is provided and we handle the set up in-house, a site can go live in a matter of days; however, if a client chooses to upload the full set up files themselves, and they experience technical difficulties, it can take weeks and even months for a site to go live.</p>
<p>Our parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>Outbound Links &#8211; There will be a maximum of 50 outbound links placed over 5 pages on the website from a non-intrusive link (Maximum links of 10 per page).  The content will be relevant to the industry in question, and the links out will be to our client sites, which again will be relevant to the industry.  This is purely for Google to index the site</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Inbound Links – There will be a minimum of 130 themed links to the website, however the program will continue indefinitely.  We only use 1 year as a guideline, and not looking to cut off our resources after 1 year.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>We provide monthly reporting, as is the case with our paid services; which outlines all the industry related links to/from the website.   If, at any time, a client is unhappy with any of the work we carry out, we can change or remove it.  Once a site goes live, the client will receive login details to a client campaign centre, this is where the monthly reports are kept.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>We do not link to and from any un-ethical websites.</li>
</ul>
<p>The following site is an example of a client that recently come on board: <a href="http://www.mashroom.com.sg/">http://www.mashroom.com.sg/</a>  our resource folder is at the bottom right hand side of the homepage entitled ‘App’, this is also one of the clients main keywords, so kind of a smart idea.  I am sure you will agree, the link is non-intrusive and the 5 pages of content fit in perfectly with the theme of the site?</p>
<p>This particular client registered the site less than 3 months ago, and one of their chosen key phrases ‘Facebook Apps’ has achieve page 1 in <a href="http://www.google.com.sg">www.google.com.sg</a> already!</p>
<p>So what are you waiting for? Drop us a line and get on board! We look forward to hearing from you!</p>

<p>The thing which we feel is of the most importance when designing a new website is to maintain a consistent style that runs through every area and web page. It could be easy to end up with something which looks incomplete and ill-conceived if consideration is not paid to this point.</p>
<p>An Understanding of the company we&#8217;re working for is essential to us and our web designers will invariably devote more time to familiarising themselves with every client’s business prior to identifying a few preliminary designs for their consideration.</p>
<p>Our opinion is not just consistency across a website that is important, but across the whole company. The feel of your website should enhance the present literature and stationery that your company has, and using company colours in the design process is one thing that we generally suggest.</p>
<p>Besides from giving aprofesional look to your website, a consistent style makes it easier for people to use – the navigation and design become familiar for them as they spend time going through the different sections. The best web designs are clean and not too cluttered, to ensure that users feel relaxed using them and can easily read what you have to say, without becoming sidetracked by unnecessary moving images that serve no useful purpose.</p>
<p>If the area your company is competing in needs the latest visual systems then we have staff who excel in this kind of work as well.</p>
