Somebody told me recently on a different forum that SEO of a company website was much more important for a company than social networking of the company producing the website? Apologies for the convoluted English, but is this true I wonder?
A. 
Well unfortunately it&#8217;s rather hard to make sweeping statements about a particular marketing strategy being the best for &#8220;all&#8221; companies looking to do some form of Internet Marketing.

The time it takes to move your voice and/or data services to another location varies from carrier to carrier so you should verify with your particular provider.  Most carriers will request at least a 30 day notification if you would like to move your services to a new address.

If you are experiencing a service affecting issue, immediately contact your telecom or data provider directly.  Usually you can find the carrier&#8217;s toll free number on a monthly bill or their website.  Some carriers also offer online reporting of service issues so check out your carriers website to findout if this option is available to you.  When you contact your telecom or data provider they will open up a &#8220;trouble ticket.&#8221;  You should make certain to ...]]></description>
