Advocating for the Boise River

Boise-based SEO company, Jtree.net, provides not-for-profit organizations like Advocates for the West with a discounted rate – in the name of fighting the good fight.

We are very proud to be involved with organizations which effect the conservation of our natural environment. Advocates for the West (our client) recently helped protect the Boise River from a mining company (Atlanta Gold), who was found guilty of contaminating the Boise River with ‘toxic levels of arsenic and iron’.

Thanks to the efforts of Advocates for the West and the Idaho Conservation League:

Monday January 9, U.S. District Chief Magistrate Judge Williams determined Atlanta Gold Corporation is illegally polluting ontezuma Creek, a tributary of the Boise River near Atlanta, Idaho, with toxic levels of arsenic and iron, constituting over 1,400 violations of the Clean Water Act.

This feat will help protect the Boise River from other mining companies with similar practices aside from stopping Atlanta Gold from currently polluting clean water.

Boise SEO - Personalized Results

Welcome to the New Google

Content + People + Relationships = Google Search, plus Your World

A new Google began rolling out yesterday, which should be available to most people who are signed in and searching over the course of the next few days… coined ‘Search, plus Your World‘.

[tubepress video=”8Z9TTBxarbs”]

Google Search, plus Your World includes three new features, according to Google:

  1. Personal Results, which enable you to find information just for you, such as Google+ photos and posts—both your own and those shared specifically with you, that only you will be able to see on your results page.
  2. Profiles in Search, both in autocomplete and results, which enable you to immediately find people you’re close to or might be interested in following.
  3. People and Pages, which help you find people profiles and Google+ pages related to a specific topic or area of interest, and enable you to follow them with just a few clicks. Because behind most every query is a community.
