Alienation Fort

Alienation FortFriday May 12th saw Alienation added to its portfolio of products with the official launch of Alienation Fort in Fife after a successful eight month trial of the product by Fife Council’s Fife Rights Forum.

Alienation Fort is a secure online referral system that allows organisations such as advice & rights agencies to refer clients to the appropriate organisation within the network, track the referral through to its resolution or closure and report on aspects of the network.

In Fife the Alienation Fort system is supported by a web-based service directory (with details of over 230 Fife-based advice agencies) and a commitment by agencies to find the most appropriate service for a client, badged under the Fife Advice Promise: "If we can't help you, we'll find someone who can".

The system allows a client to be referred from one advice agency (statutory or voluntary) to any other advice agency. Any agency (voluntary or statutory) can sign up to use the system (all they require is web access and email) and can start accepting and making referrals after some basic training.

Since the launch of Fort, Argyll & Bute Advice Network have come on board and are currently in the process of establishing Fort across their advice network.

Alienation Publish V6.0

In continual development since 1998, Alienation Publish (our content and information management system) is now on version 6.

If you haven't seen the new system, or are interested in upgrading, now is the time to do it. A new licence option is available that means you can benefit from all future upgrades and enhancements. As new features are developed, licence holders would receive access as they are rolled out.

Our content management system has come along way since it was developed for one of our first clients. If you want to know more about the latest features, see screenshots of the system or arrange a demo, why not visit http://www.alienationpublish.co.uk for more information.

Drive traffic to your site - new Promote services

Without traffic, your web site serves no purpose. Alienation have recently updated our suite of marketing services (Alienation Promote). We now offer a range of Search Engine Marketing solutions designed to suit all sizes of business that will generate traffic to your website - bringing people looking for what you sell.

The Promote service now has 4 different options:

Alienation Promote - FAST
Pay Per Click Marketing delivers results quickly, that's why we have called our PPC management service Promote FAST . With FAST Pay Per Click Marketing we can have potential customers to your website within 24 hours with 1000 clicks included as standard.

Alienation Promote - SEO
Search Engine Optimisation takes a little longer to get results, normally weeks rather than hours. However, with no click fees to pay, in the long term SEO can offer a better return on investment. Our Search Engine Optimisation product, Promote SEO, includes &quote;on page&quote; optimisation and link building services - both essential to getting good results.

Alienation Promote - PRO
Promote PRO, our recommended product, combines both Search Engine Optimisation with Pay Per Click Marketing. This programme ensures quick results across a wide range of search terms but at a lower long term cost than a PPC programme alone.

Alienation Promote - BESPOKE
All of our services are designed to offer value for money and a good Return on Investment (ROI). Our FAST, SEO, and PRO products are aimed at clients new to Search Engine Marketing or with small to medium sized budgets. For more complex, higher budget projects we offer our Promote BESPOKE service. Here we work with you to tailor our Search Engine Marketing service to precisely meet your objectives.
