			<title>Search Engine Optimisation - An online marketing strategy for better ROI</title>
			<link>http://www.skillsstrategy.govt.nz/employers-business-owners/show/156</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pureseo.co.nz/&quot;&gt;Search Engine Optimisation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (SEO) are techniques used to optimise websites for targeted keywords/search terms in search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, et cetera. Search Engine Optimisation shifts websites to top positions on search result pages when users look for products and services related to a particular business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many successful businesses have used SEO as their online marketing strategy for years. This is because most people use search engines like Google to research the products and services they require or want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost every search engine offers some form of paid marketing. Google’s version is called AdWords, and it has the potential to make your business website appear on page one of Google search results within 48 hours. Google charges you based on the number of clicks the advertisement receives – this way, you only pay if someone visits your website. AdWords provide an effective, efficient and customer-focused online marketing strategy suited to any business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pure SEO is an Auckland-based SEO/SEM company specialising in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pureseo.co.nz/online-digital-marketing&quot;&gt;online marketing&lt;/a&gt;.

			<description>&lt;p&gt;  Our current training programmes are excellent except that we lose half a dozen people from the shop floor to each training  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linkslondonsales.org/bracelets.html&quot;&gt;links of london charm bracelets&lt;/a&gt;     session. Does anyone have ideas about how to cope with the loss of time associated with these training programmes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Posted to: Time loss</description>

			<title>Re: People are the core</title>
			<link>http://www.skillsstrategy.govt.nz/employees/show/62?showPost=148</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;Dear Monique, et al,&lt;br /&gt;I would very much like to be involved in this strategy.  Currently as a facilitator for a company that enables the under-employed seek and get into sustainable work I find our current level of literacy woefully inadequate for the requirements of business.  &lt;br /&gt;I've been on both sides of the fence and realised that if I wanted to be able to make better choices for myself and my family I would have to continue my learning.  I didn't have the opportunity to participate in any workplace strategies but have witnessed others who have had such opportunities.  The results in increased confidence, a raising of the self esteem to levels previously never attained by those people is phenomenal, and encouraging.&lt;br /&gt;You said it best ... &quot;how can we support every worker to work to the best of their potential?&quot;.  Support every worker so they maybe able to make more significant decisions that positively impact on their lives and the lives of their families, friends and whanau.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Posted to: People are the core</description>

			<title>Re: Skills Shortage - Labour Shortage</title>
			<link>http://www.skillsstrategy.govt.nz/education-and-training-institutions/show/57?showPost=133</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;I agree with H Robertson's comment in regards to GOVT INCENTIVE...businesses may not be able to train or upskill - as it all comes back to TIME AND FINANCE issues.  This is a nationwide problem - therefore Goverment must come up with incentives for businesses to train and upskill: incentives maybe in the form of less tax deductions ??? (its an idea) for companies that are serious about training to upskill.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another strategy could be the govt funding a scheme that encourages businesses to allow for people to have work experience (especially those finding it hard to come back to the workforce - due to many years looking after family??) - this scheme could aid - school leavers, the mature workforce, students (to name a few).  Govt could would need to come up with incentives - in the longrun - we all know we learn better practically - and most of our employment skills are learnt via the workplace and also, not all people are made for school, books - others learn practically and enjoy and respond better to a more hands-on approach.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking forward to hearing more strategies that will benefit the nation as a whole.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A question to the forum/website host: I only heard of these submissions via friends (after my regions meeting date) who saw a little boxed-corner advert in the paper about the regional meetings - why was there not more advertising to attract more people to attend??(yes, my friends attended the meetings) In this case I don't believe people are ignorant of the actual scheme, but its more about 'what scheme?'  Is there any chance of having more meetings - maybe pushing the date back?? Couldn't emphasize more that this is a national problem - so why is it rushed? Well, thats just what I think - a little bit more public advertising would've been great - as the government have access to all types and forms of media to help get this message across.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thnx for the blog page anyway - good idea - hope you have all submitted your solutions :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Posted to: Skills Shortage - Labour Shortage</description>

			<title>Consulting with small business</title>
			<link>http://www.skillsstrategy.govt.nz/employers-business-owners/show/126</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi all&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've finished our first week of public meetings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the things that has come up over and over again is a concern about the need for us to find a way to connect with small business owners and workers to make sure we build their needs into the strategy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We always knew that it was going to be a big ask to get small business along to meetings - particularly meetings held during the day.  But I'd be really interested in any views about the things we might be able to do to give small business owners and workers the best chance to provide us with ideas.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does this forum work?  Or can we expect written submissions?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cheers &lt;br /&gt;Monique&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Posted to: Consulting with small business</description>
