Starting January 1 2012, Google will be putting a limit on the free usage of the Google Maps API.
Late last week Google announced they are putting a usage limit on the usage of the Google Maps API for 25.000+ hits per day. While many of you do not have that kind of traffic volume on your website, some of you may have the volume of traffic and should be aware of the changes coming in the New Year.
Websites that utilize the Google Maps API (such as through embedded maps on a website) will have a limit of 25,000 (2,500 for styled maps) map views per day, and sites exceeding these limits will be required to pay for the overages. Rates starting at $4.00 per 1,000 views.
This means that if you have a website with one or more Google Maps on it you will be able to get 25,000 people per day taking a look at that map before you have to start paying.
If you are in the estimated traffic ranges of 25,000+ map views per day and want to learn more. Zee Creative recommends that you contact us with your questions. Call our office at 406-259-6730 or email us.

BECOME A FAN ON FACEBOOK!
Sound familiar? We thought so. Social Media has rapidly taken the traditional marketing format and transformed the ease and saturation of brand awareness into a ‘word of mouth’ concept. With the ease of numerous options in commerce, a person or business can create a network that allows them to continually update and address a consumer base that is literally linked into your product and services. That's why Zee Creative is now offering a Facebook for Business Professionals course. Social Media sites like Facebook are now valuable and relevant tools that businesses and business owners use to market and brand their products through word-of-mouth social connections and online media platforms.
Starting in May, Zee Creative will offer four classes based around the basic tools and media advantages of Facebook. The value of learning how to utilize social media tools to promote, advertise, or share your work is an incredible asset to any marketing campaign. Spending a small amount of your time to gain some fast easy knowledge about social media advertising is a time well spent.
Join Eric Marshall for one hour each class, and learn how set up a Facebook personal profile, learn the differences between personal, business, group pages, creating a business page, basic marketing tools and advanced marketing techniques to develop a loyal fan base, gain new customers, increase company exposure with advertising and testimonials, or build a better brand awareness. Facebook is a great way to kick start your social media efforts, so why not take some time to move ahead of the competition and expand your knowledge and marketing to the world of social media?
Class size is limited, so we recommend signing up soon. Worried about class times? Zee Creative will set-up the class times based upon the preferences of those who sign up for each class, just let us know if you prefer morning, afternoon or evening.
Email us or call us at 406-259-6730 to sign–up. Class pricing is $60 per session. Sign-up for all four by the end of April and pay only $190 (a 20% savings).
Classes are filling up quickly and we have the first two sessions booked and will be begin in a couple of weeks! Contact Zee Creative today to sign up for the next session to learn more about the business tools of Facebook.
As of January 7, 2011, we made some changes to the domain Storefront. These changes will give more control over anti-fraud measures and provide a better overall level of service. This change also means that the domain name purchased will now appear in the Payee field on users' credit card statements. This should remove end-user confusion about what the credit card charge is for.
Stored credit card data for your domain Storefront will be removed as a result of the switchover. For those end-users with auto renewals enabled, domain Storefront does send a series of automated emails to let you know that there is no valid credit card on file. The email instructs users to log in to add a valid credit card for the transaction to be completed automatically.
Please be assured that your services will NOT be interrupted if your payment information is updated. To update your account, you simply need to re-enter the credit card information through your domain Storefront account. Please log into the secure site at http://domains.zcreative.com/manage to update your payment information.

We haven't designed to Internet Explorer 6 in years but have run into a handful of clients that are stilling using this outdated browser. If you or someone you know is still using Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) and need more incentive below are the Top 5 reasons to upgrade:
As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the potential for credit card fraud we've undertaken a clean up of credit card data associated with some of our domain end-user accounts.
Beginning on March 23, 2010, we began using enhanced criteria for detecting fraud. As a result of the change, credit card data stored before March 23, 2010 has been removed from our payment provider's systems and those end-users will have to re-enter their credit card information at the time of their next transaction.
For those end-users with auto renewals enabled but no credit card data on file, our domain registrant service will send a series of automated emails to let you know that there is no valid credit card on file and instructing you to login to add a valid credit card for the transaction to be completed automatically.
There is nothing to be concerned about and you will simply need to re-enter your credit card information in order to ensure you don't have any interruption in service. There was absolutely no breach of security and no credit card data was compromised at any time.
If you have any questions or need assistance please give us a call at 406-259-6730.
