Thermowells All about Thermowells - materials, corrosion, design, forces, vibrations etc. . There's a wealth of technical information on the web about thermocouples. Much of it is found on vendors sites. Thanks to all those vendors who believe in the value of providing quality technical information, producst data and other technical information above and beyond their own product descriptions.

Next Month's Plans

Next month's plan is to begin cataloging some of the very useful temperature sensor information and product literature available in CR-ROM format. There's much more than you think plus it saves downloading time and hard drive space. More and more organizations are providing CD-ROM data files, many at no cost, only your name, address and some other data for a device that can really reduce the shelf space taken up by a bulky catalog. Not to pick on any one organization, but we think that Omega Enginering continues to set a high standard in user-friendly, if less weighty sensor and DAS/DAQ product information and more.

COMMENTS + END NOTES

We review many, many web sites in our course of wandering the Web. What we see is a surprising mix of sites. Most appear to be little more than a static catalog of a company's products and services. Some are not even that sophisticated. In our view, that is not a very effective investment.

We have been very successful in generating large numbers of visitors to our site and it is still growing faster than our most optimistic expectations. According to Alexa a free rating program one can add to their browser and see site rankings, we are now in the first 500,00 web sites ranked according to visitor rate. There are very few industrial temperature sensor suppliers that rank in the first 1,000,000! We grew at a 300% per annum rate in measured hit rate over the last year! We've learned how to generate traffic. We do not buy services from anyone else; we do it ourselves!

We are teaming up with an experienced web design and marketing firm to aid the small and medium sized organizations get more out their Web investment. We believe companies can improve their visitor rate plus operations, sales communications and generate more orders through proper focus on their Web resources. The Internet is a unique marketing tool and few companies seem to understand how to use it. We'll be announcing more about our new services in April to help companies improve their Web site ROI.

Thanks for visiting.
