Leave SMS or Vmail…Get Inbound link29 Jan
Initially this post was going to provide a list of ‘I value/like/love/dislike’ features about Google Voice from a few of our clients and colleagues. I was flabbergasted when my call for quotes turned up “I set it up but haven’t started using it yet”. That said, nearly everyone mentioned that they like the number routing feature, as well as the “click to call” website feature that you can drop on to your website.
Do yourself a favor, take a minute to setup your Google Voice account and to test it out…leave us a vmail or SMS at 650-488-3040 with your website URL and we’ll post a link to your site. Why is that a big deal? The more inbound links translates to more traffic to your site. Think of a link like a fishing with a net…bigger net usually means more fish.
Personally, I value the FREE SMS messages. Paying for SMS messages is akin to highway robbery in my book. We pay for data and voice, WTH do we have to pay for text sent over the same network. Ok, I’m ranting, so moving right along.
iPhone Users
A new option for iPhone users, if you haven’t already heard…get Google Voice on your device (without jail breaking). Here’s how…
- On your iPhone
- Open Safari
- Go to http://m.google.com/voice
- Enter your Google Voice (Gmail) Username and Password
- Click the bookmark button on the bottom of your browser
- Save the bookmark to the Main Page
- You should have a nice little Google Voice icon on one of your application pages
- TEST it out….call us 650-488-3040 leave us a voicemail (or SMS) with your name and website and we’ll post a link to your site
Looking forward to hearing from you! Have a fabulous weekend!


Give back to Get – Giving back to get back certainly isn’t a new idea, however, it’s easy to loose focus or to not be genuine in your efforts. One key reminder that Daniel offered was to get involved with a community that you’re passionate about and then identify ways you can contribute. The downstream impact isn’t always immediately apparent but oftentimes will lead to a new contact, opportunity or something totally unexpected experience. As Daniel aptly pointed out, the Karma of giving tends to find its way back to you in some way, shape or form.
