Wildfire Marketing Group named as finalist in BizTech Innovation Awards

The amount of work people put into trying to rip off others blows my mind doesn’t really surprise me anymore. Especially since the same amount of work put into a real business model would produce far more money with far less headaches and no risk of going to jail. Sadly, some people will never learn. The latest scam that’s been brought to my attention is someone masquerading as Wildfire Marketing Group via email with offers of a work from home Consumer Survey Specialist job. These people are not in any way affiliated with us, the job does not exist and we do not provide consumer services evaluations. It appears that they are trying to pull a variation of the Western Union scam along with identity theft as you can see in the email at the... How to Speed Up Your Website
We all know how important a fast-loading website is these days. The faster your pages load, the more likely your visitors are to stay around longer and view more of your pages, and Google recently announced that page load speed is now a factor in their ranking algorithm. That means faster-loading sites will potentially rank better and make more money than slower sites. There are a lot of factors that can affect load speed. Some can be quite intensive to fix, like poorly structured code. Others, like the file size of your CSS file (which is loaded on each page), are easy to fix and can result in a significant increase in speed. That’s why we’ve developed our free CSS Compressor tool, which makes it easy to compress your CSS file by 15-30% with the... New rule for content thieves
We can’t even begin to tell you how many people we find each day that have outright stolen our website copy, and sometimes even the entire design. While this is normally pretty shady, it’s even worse when the party in question is another design firm. If you’re presenting your company as one that creates original ideas, you should actually put in the leg work and CREATE ORIGINAL IDEAS, after all, that’s what your being paid for. Tracking these people down, filing DCMA take-down complaints with the hosting company and initiating any necessary legal action quickly becomes time consuming and costly, so we think we’ve come up with a better solution. We are considering taking these thieves to the public, by posting the details along with a screenshot on our blog. Maybe over time, people will realize that... Laid off?
