			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2010 Dentistry Awards have shortlisted the finalists for the Best Dental Websites. We can&#8217;t wait for the glitzy and glamourous ceremony night to unfold. All the judging is independent and we have no say nor influence. But as a main sponsor for 4 years, I&#8217;ll be up on stage for the 3rd year running to announce the finalists and the winners. I love these dentist website awards because it gives our clients the opportunity to be deservingly recognised by the dental profession for their hard work and effort in helping us raise the bar and setting new standards and goals. A successful dental website is not magic &#8211; it&#8217;s a reflection of the dental business, a reflection of you.</p>

<p>Every year we seem to be congratulating our own dentist clients and meeting winners who want to be our clients. Wish us luck, and as always, Dental Focus Web Design is proud to have its clients dominating the Awards (not just Google!), an end to another great year &#8211; let the party begin!</p>

<p>Chris Barrow&#8217;s new website is the result of everyone at Team CB working together <img src='http://www.dental-focus.com/marketing/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  including myself, Krishan Joshi (master website design &amp; planning), Cathy Johnson (branding &amp; graphic design), Kim Black (iPhone app, blog &amp; ezine setup/integration), Phillippa Goodwin (PA &amp; content organiser), Jem Patel (corporate film / video production), Marita Kritzinger and Brendon Macdonald (blogging, facebook/twitter, social media management). <a href="http://www.coachbarrow.com" target="_blank">www.coachbarrow.com</a></p>

<p>Richard Lishman&#8217;s new website is the result of too many half pints&#8230; ha ha! <img src='http://www.dental-focus.com/marketing/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  But seriously, if you want to save money or save tax (who doesn&#8217;t?) then check out Richard and his team at <a href="http://www.money4dentists.com" target="_blank">www.money4dentists.com</a> &#8211; A big thank you to the super friendly money4dentists team for their kind hospitality, jokes and sense of humour&#8230; as well as putting me up at their swish hotel throughout the BDTA Showcase!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Google Places : the new name for Local Map listings</strong></p>
<p>In April last month, the Local Business listing was officially renamed Google Places. Over the last few years, Google has allowed any dentist with or without a dental practice to register their details for free and have the opportunity to rank at the very top of Google page 1 for location based searches with listings appearing next to a map showing local results; listings link directly to your <a href="http://www.dental-focus.com">dental website</a> if you provide a web address otherwise they link to your Google business information page containing the description you submitted or details picked up across the web that Google finds and relates to you i.e. reviews, photos, videos, web pages, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-873 aligncenter" title="google-places-local-dentists" src="http://www.dental-focus.com/marketing/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/google-places-local-dentists.jpg" alt="google-places-local-dentists" width="630" height="349" /></p>
<p>Google Places is the new name given to a well-established, free service that is now just starting to be monetized. The general workings will remain the same, registering a <a href="http://www.dental-focus.com/wow-the-wow-website.html">dentist website</a> will continue to be free and rankings will continue to be uninfluenced by money. However, your <a href="http://www.dental-focus.com">dental practice marketing</a> will be able to gain greater prominence with e-bay style description <strong>Tags</strong> under your listing for a monthly Google fee.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-867" style="margin-bottom: 35px;" title="google-places-tags" src="http://www.dental-focus.com/marketing/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/google-places-tags.gif" alt="google-places-tags" width="263" height="182" /></p>
<p>Tags are yellow markers that allow dentists to promote important aspects of their businesses. Scroll over Tags on Google or click on the sponsored link to view coupons, photos, or other select features.</p>
<p>It’s going to be a catch-22 situation in which the first dentist that wishes to stand out will create psychological pressure on all local businesses to follow suit and if everyone has enhancement tags then nobody stands out in the end. Thus the only winner will be the billion-dollar search engine giant. This is only just starting to be rolled out in a few states in America so watch this space!</p>
