We have a proposition for you.

We want to give you $100; let’s get the ball rolling. All that needs to happen: You send a friend or colleague our way. If we end up taking on a website project for them, we owe you a $100 finder’s fee.

That’s $100 for you, from us, if you send us someone who becomes our client.

Thank goodness, we can finally send Ben Franklin home to you.

Example scenario:

Your aunt: My small business needs a new website.
You: You should hire Engine.
(She hires Engine)
Us: Here is $100.
(We give you $100)
You: Thank you.

Stipulations:

• Make sure they mention your name when they contact us. Obviously.
• No chicanery. We know you won’t do this, but we want to make sure nobody else tries any of that oh-boy-I’ll-get-my-friend-to-refer-me-and-we’ll-split-the-$100 nonsense. We’re all grownups here.
• No limit. We love building websites as much as you love getting $100. Which means we’d be insane and cruel to cut off you and us both. This offer stands, rain or shine. Why not refer 10 friends at once? One friend per season? 1,000 friends by 2049? Think big!

These are our terms. Your task: Make it rain like Tlaloc.

We’re delighted to announce the all-new GreenBuildingsNYC.com is live.

gbNYC has long been New York’s premier source of green real estate news and insights, but they wanted to keep growing and offering more. So they partnered with a major Manhattan real estate broker and hired us to rebuild and redesign their Wordpress blog as a fleshed-out Drupal site, packed with new features like socially moderated products, building listings, and more, with even more cool features on the way.

Helping to combine one of New York’s most trusted authorities on green real estate with a high-end Manhattan condo broker, ENGINE expanded gbNYC’s range of services beyond any other competing site’s. The new gbNYC is up and running, but its best is yet to come.

Author, gourmet chef, and nutrition counselor Alexandra Jamieson (you might also know her as Morgan Spurlock’s life-saver in Super Size Me) put ENGINE to the task of whipping up a wholesome, hearty website.

She needed a way to incorporate her nutritional expertise, community of women, and lifestyle guidance into one smart website. We built her a custom Wordpress site that meets all her needs, allowing her to manage every bit of her own content–from her media kit to her blog.

By now, perchance you’ve heard of Google’s new Wonder Wheel experiment. It looks like that thing YouTube tried for a couple weeks, where each video linked to related videos by using a little interactive zoomy thing. It didn’t last long.

Obviously, the Google Wonder Wheel uses Flash, so it’s pretty bad SEO. No telling how Google plans to get its Wonder Wheel to show up on search result pages for crucial keyphrases like wheel experiments without using lots of good text about experimenting with wonder.

How will the Wonder Wheel affect search marketing? Obviously, to ride the wheel high, we’ll all want to pepper our useful and authoritative content with a little wheel-optimized text. Like so…

A wheel is a circular device that rotates on its axis, facilitating movement while supporting a load or performing labor in machines. Common examples are found in transport applications. A wheel, together with an axle, overcomes friction by facilitating motion by rolling. For wheels to rotate, a momentum needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by gravity or application of another external force. More generally the term is used for other circular objects that rotate, such as a ship’s wheel, steering wheel, or flywheel.

Don’t ride solo, Engineers—you’re gonna want to get in the HOV lane ‘cause here comes the traffic!
