We all know about how stack effect works in homes, but during presentations, I’m always surprised by how many hands are raised in response to the question: "How many of you think you can make a house too tight and cause problems with indoor air quality?" Generally, at least three-quarters of the room raises their hands. Really? My colleague Joe Kuonen says that getting a house so tight that you need to ventilate is a feat worth celebrating. "Now, we can get fresh air from a place we can trust," he says. Visit http://www.bpi.org/news_pm_july_2014.aspx#article3 to view the full article online. |

In the constant quest for more and better leads, a highly performing website should be at the center of every contractor’s marketing strategy. High performance on the web means attracting the right traffic and efficiently converting site visitors to leads. Getting your site to rank higher in organic and local search results--what we geeks call Search Engine Optimization, or SEO--is the holy grail: natural or organic traffic to your site is free, and generally will grow over time. And this kind of traffic, called inbound marketing, can be higher quality than other types because people are actively searching for something, finding your site, and clicking through to you.
