Question:
How can I gain more exposure and visibility?
I really need some help. I'm working on making my website more visible
in the search engines.
From what I understand this will actually help both your business and mine.
It's important that I have links from other websites to my page. Using
links from websites that are in the same area as we are is great.
Where will I get websites to link with and how?
Answer:
The most over looked optimization technique and probably one of the
most relevant is submitting your sitemap to the big four of search
engines,Google,Yahoo, Bing,and lastly to Ask.com. Another simple
procedure is creating and posting your local company ad on these main
four search engines through their free local listings programs.
I hope this helps the new webmasters of our community.

FCC Updates Standards on Mobile Phones and Hearing Aid Compatibility
There are many different wireless mobile phones available, and some of the wireless mobile phones work better with some hearing aids than others. The FCC has requirements for some, but not all, wireless phones to be hearing aid compatible.
On April 9, 2012, the FCC approved a new technical standard for testing phones for hearing aid compatibility (HAC). After this new standard is adopted and a 2-year transition period is completed, the Commission's rules requiring phones to be hearing aid-compatible will apply to handset operations over additional air interfaces and frequency bands. Stated another way, the Commission’s HAC rules will now apply to a range of new technologies and will allow for more accurate measurements of hearing aid interference – i.e, the new standard will improve the measurement criteria for determining if a mobile phone is hearing aid compatible or not.
Shop around! When buying a mobile phone, it is important to find the phone that works best with your hearing aid.
To read more about the FCC new rules on hearing aid compatibility, please see:
AMENDMENT OF THE COMMISSION'S RULES GOVERNING HEARING AID-COMPATIBLE MOBILE HANDSETS.
