Jersey Shore Community Information Bulletin Celebrating 300 Issues

Bradley Beach, NJ - March 17, 2008 -- 300 years. 300 episodes. 300 shows complete with curtain calls. All of these are noteworthy accomplishments worth celebrating. So how about 300 issues? That's what the Jersey Shore Community Information Bulletin recently celebrated.

How did the Bulletin last for 300 issues? That's easy: keeping the goal in mind that was set eight years ago when it started. The goal was to be an informative, fun newsletter at the Shore, for the Shore, by a Shore resident. That's how the Bulletin was born. In the summer of 1996 some employees of Lone Keep Internet, Inc., the Bulletin's parent company, thought it would be fun and helpful to publish via email a local e-newsletter about the Jersey Shore and what was happening here. The format would be simple and would include a letter from the editor and some local events going on in the area.

The first issue was published and sent out to current clients of Lone Keep, Internet, Inc., friends and family. It was well received and so a second issue was published about six weeks later. Folks began to forward the newsletter to friends and co-workers. Before they knew it, the Bulletin was growing in readership and readers were sending information to be included for upcoming events.

By the end of the first year, the Jersey Shore Community Information Bulletin had close to 2,000 readers, was expanding to include even more events, was being published on a regular monthly basis and was responsible for having reunited friends at local events! Over the years the Bulletin has changed. It now offers local businesses the opportunity to sponsor issues to reach a local market. Readership has grown to close to 11,000 subscribers in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Due to popular request from readers the newsletter is now published twice every month (the 1st and 3rd Mondays) and just this summer from June thru August it was published every Monday due to reader request. The newsletter now includes a "Quote of the Issue", a "From the Readers" section to let others know about what's going on and an "FYI" section for organizations/ groups to let readers know about meetings.

However a few things still remain the same. The newsletter is still free to subscribers. The Bulletin still maintains its goal of being about the Shore, for the Shore and by a Shore resident. "As long as I live here at the Shore I will continue to publish what's going on and what's best about the Shore. I am proud of the Bulletin and take great satisfaction in knowing that people in the area look forward to receiving the newsletter and enjoy going to the local events," said Karen E. Jarosz, Editor of the Jersey Shore Community Information Bulletin.

So after twelve years, 300 issues, many sponsors, thousands of local events and many emails of appreciation a celebration is in order! Rest assured though the Jersey Shore Community Information Bulletin plans on getting down to work to be able to celebrate the next 300 issues as well. After all as long as there is a Jersey Shore and events to attend the Bulletin will be going strong. To read the Bulletin, be added to the subscriber list to receive the Bulletin or learn how to sponsor issues to promote your business go to www.lonekeep.com/jscib or call Karen E.

Lone Keep Internet Celebrates Its 20th Year

Jersey Shore Area, NJ, December 15, 2003 - Imagine 20 years from now. Where will you be? What will you be doing? 20 years is quite a long time. It's a long time for a band to be together making music or for a couple to be married. Both are a challenge in today's world. Yet that is how long Lone Keep Internet has been gallantly serving the Jersey Shore.

Lone Keep Systems, as it was known in 1988, came about when President and CEO, Richard M.J. Jarosz, felt the need to share his computer expertise with small businesses in the shore area. At the time Lone Keep Systems offered individuals computer training on various programs and set up computer systems for businesses that were beginning to utilize computers for record keeping. In addition Lone Keep Systems offered a Microsoft Works course in the evenings through the Toms River adult school program. It was quite successful and Lone Keep Internet was on its way.

Then in the mid 1990's the computer world saw changes. "Our clients brought us the net," states Richard M.J. Jarosz, President of Lone Keep Internet, Inc. "We had businesses approach us with a need for access to the web and create web sites. They wanted to know if Lone Keep Systems could handle their new needs." Always up for a challenge and willing to grow, Lone Keep Systems evolved into Lone Keep Internet, Inc. The company changed direction and began offering clients internet access as well as web site design. Long time clients were excited to be able to update and expand their business yet still maintain their relationship with Lone Keep Systems, who had been servicing their computer needs for years already. At the same time the Jersey Shore Community Information Bulletin, an email newsletter about local events, was launched to reach out to residents.

Soon the question was raised. What good is a website if no one knows about it? Promotion on the web became the next challenge Lone Keep Internet would take on. Websites were now becoming faster to download and more animated with programs such as Flash. Placement in search engines was becoming key. With training and the hiring of new staff Lone Keep Internet proudly introduced its promotional division, Towne Crier and more recently, ShoreGuide.Info. Both are designed to promote businesses in primarily Monmouth and Ocean counties.

Ever changing and growing are the words to describe Lone Keep Internet, Inc. Dedicated and helpful are the qualities that define the staff of Lone Keep Internet, Inc.    "We are in the business of solving people's technical frustrations whatever that may be to each individual or business," states Karen E. Jarosz, Vice President and Editor of the Jersey Shore Community Information Bulletin. If you have a technical challenge that Lone Keep Internet, Inc. can help you with, give us a call at 732-988-4044 and we will be happy to assist you in easing the frustration.

Lone Keep Internet, Inc. achieves a Google™ PageRank 6

Bradley Beach, NJ – August 18, 2005 – Lone Keep Internet, Inc., a Jersey Shore technology firm, has achieved a Google™ PageRank 6 for its corporate website. "This is great news for us and our clients," states Richard M.J. Jarosz, Lone Keep Internet’s President & CEO. "It increases our visibility and that of our clients in the major search engines. In today’s competitive world market that kind of visibility is priceless!"

Google™ explains its PageRank as follows: PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search.

"It’s a lot of hard work," exclaims David Erbe one of the firm’s internet technicians at Lone Keep Internet, "but it is definitely worth it for us and our clients!" He goes on to say, "Keeping our site and the sites that link to us of a higher quality than the average site is a laborious task as there are no automated tools that can do it as well as myself doing it manually."

For information on Google™ PageRank or Lone Keep Internet, Inc. go to www.lonekeep.com or contact either Richard M.J. Jarosz or David Erbe at 732-988-4044.

Email Newsletter hits 10,000 subscribers

   Jersey Shore Area, NJ, April 5, 2004 - The Jersey Shore Community Information Bulletin, an email newsletter circulated in Monmouth and Ocean counties, is proud to announce they have added their 10,000th subscriber. The JSCIB, as readers affectionately know it, has been in publication since August of 1996. The newsletter, published by Lone Keep Internet, Inc. of Bradley Beach, has evolved greatly since its inception. At the start readers received the newsletter only once a month and the subscription base consisted of about 500 clients and friends. According to Editor Karen Jarosz, the purpose of the Bulletin was and still remains the same today: to let people know about fun events in Monmouth and Ocean counties that are held by local businesses or organizations.

   As word spread the Bulletin picked up subscribers and readers were emailing information for upcoming events in the area to be included. Readers were also emailing to let the staff at the Bulletin know that they were attending and enjoying the events. The readers were also expressing an interest in receiving the newsletter more often in a month. It was finally decided that the Bulletin would be published twice a month on the first and third Monday of each month.

   With the increase in publication frequency came the increase in subscribers. Readers were forwarding the newsletter to friends, family and business associates. Information for events was coming in more often and the newsletter was being recognized by its name in the area. Clients were now asking could they advertise in the newsletter as a way to reach local people. So the Bulletin began offering sponsorship spots in the bi-monthly newsletter and even more subscribers were signing up to receive the newsletter.

   As we move into the 8th year of publication, the Jersey Shore Community Information Bulletin still holds true to its original purpose: to share with people in the Monmouth and Ocean county area what fun events are being held by businesses and organizations. We still publish twice a month but have just recently decided due to requests from readers to publish weekly in the summer months of June, July and August when there is so much to do in the Jersey Shore area! We still take sponsors and have seen a real growing trend in repeat sponsors because they have seen results from the sponsor ads.

   All of this has led to gaining our 10,000 subscribers! We are so very excited and proud. We thank all our past and present readers for helping us to reach this milestone! Our hope is to continue bringing this service to even more people in the area. If you are not a subscriber be sure to sign up at www.lonekeep.com/jscib and subscribe today. It is free to subscribe and you'll be part of what's happening in the area! For information on how to sponsor your business in upcoming issues go to the website or call Karen Jarosz, Editor, at 732-988-4044.
