Client Las Terrazas Resort Nominated for Travel Award

After opening only 2 seasons ago one of our Belizean clients, Las Terrazas Resort in Belize, has been gaining some serious online traction in the past few weeks.  First they were nominated for a World Travel Award, which are the most comprehensive, the biggest, and the most prestigious awards program in the travel industry worldwide.  They were nominated in the catagory for Belize’s Leading Resort, which seems appropriate.  You can register to vote at:

Worldtravelawards.com/vote

As if that wasn’t news enough, the resort was then written up on USA Today.  It’s a pretty glowing analysis of the place (which is always nice).  Take a look for yourself, and feel free to add a comment if you’ve visited:

Travel.usatoday.com/destinations/guide/The+Cayes+and+Atolls/Hotels/70307

While our SEO work continues to help Las Terrazas make gains, it’s always nice when outside sources like these two take the initiative and recognize a great resort on their own.

Increased visibility on the web comes with increased risk

Filed under: Client News, SEO and SEM — Eric @ 5:27 pm

We were recently invited to write an article on how increased visibility on the web opens up a company to increased security risks. The article was published in EMQ magazine (Enterprise Management Quarterly).

The full length article can be found here and below are a couple excerpts. Enjoy and feel free to call us and discuss these issues in more detail.

In order to compete in this new economy it is not enough to just be on the web. Many companies are turning to SEO strategies to gain a competitive edge …. A top ranking in the search engines for a high profile high traffic search query can turn a small regional company into a company with national and even international exposure almost overnight.
This increased visibility, however, exposes a company to a variety of internet spawning security threats.

A New Scam (Phishing) Email Pretending to Come From Paypal

Filed under: Client News — Eric @ 10:45 am

A new very clever phishing (scam) email is circulating the internet. The email asks people with Paypal accounts to upgrade their passwords to “Military Grade Encryption”. DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL OR CLICK ON ANY LINKS IN THE EMAIL.

The following email was received on June 16th by us and after careful analysis it was determined quickly that this was a spoof email sent by someone in France pretending to be a legitimate Paypal email. Below is the screenshot of the email (note our private information has been removed for these illustrative purposes).

Please be aware that any emails similar to this are to be treated with utmost caution and remember Paypal and any other Financial Institution will NEVER send you an email asking for you to click on a link to verify your account and/or password. These types of emails are 99% of the time completely bogus and intended to steal your account information.

For more information on protecting your email information on your business website, to inquire about our affordable anti-spam methods, or to inquire about a website security audit to analyze and identify any potential security gaps or holes in your website please contact us at 1-800-975-5695 or go to our main website at SlickRockWeb Inc.

Analysis of the basic header information: — Note the information in blue indicating that this email DID NOT originate from the Paypal network. Note the original IP address in red orginates in France. The lines highlighted in blue show the information about “www.ovh.com” network which is also in France.

SlickRockWeb issues new press release for client Las Terrazas

Filed under: Client News — Eric @ 1:26 pm

Las Terrazas is a premier real estate development on the island of Ambergris Caye in Belize and has just released Phase II residences at pre-construction prices. The press release highlights the value that real estate in Belize is offering American and Canadian investors considering the current meltdown of real estate in the United States.

Read the full press release here.

Excerpt:
“Compared to similar units in the Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Cancun, buyers in Belize can find idyllic Ambergris Caye real estate for a fraction of the price,” said Chris Roberts, General Manager of Las Terrazas. With one-bedroom units priced from $289,900 and three-bedroom units from $399,900 investors are finding that Las Terrazas’ stunning location and “natural way of life” offers the kind of sound investment opportunity that has become an increasing rarity.

For more information on Belize real estate and belize condos please vist the Las Terrazas website.
