SEO & Social Media Marketing To The Rescue

Now that the website is live, we just sit back, celebrate at the launch party with a bottle of bubbly and wait for all that traffic and recognition, right? Dream on! Internet marketing and online promotion require ongoing attention and acute care. The good news is that this part of the “web-dev” process can be the most fun and bring the most joy – both emotionally and financially. Checking your website stats and seeing that you have ten times the traffic increase when compared to last month, and having to hire additional help to respond to all of the contact form submissions can be very exciting times for any online business. (Yay! #success) Where do I start then? A properly crafted website well on it’s way with this. During the website development phase great care and attention was taken to lay the ground work for a sound SEO (search engine optimization) foundation. Well thought out page titles, meta tags, keyword sensitive copy-writing and a solid interlinking system should have all been in place. Having these items in place will greatly help in increasing your relevance in the eyes of major search engines.

Fresh Facebook fears as details of 100m users leaked to public

Facebook, the world’s predominant social network, has suffered a new blow concerning its security and privacy policies, as a downloadable file - detailing over 100 million Facebook users’ profiles, names and unique Ids - has appeared online. Made available for download on the famed but legally embroiled Pirate Bay filesharing site, privacy advocates said the leak proves that Facebook’s settings were still confusing and compromised user information. In fact, that was the stated intention of Ron Bowles, the online security consultant who lassoed the information using a simple piece of code and released the information: to highlight the privacy issues of the 500 million-strong social network. “It is inconceivable that a firm with hundreds of engineers couldn’t have imagined a trawl of this magnitude and there’s an argument to be heard that Facebook have acted with negligence,” said Simon Davies of Privacy International. “Facebook should have anticipated this attack and put measures in place to prevent it,” he said. “There are going to be a lot of angry and concerned people right now who [will] be wondering who has their data and what they should do.” Facebook officials defended their privacy settings, and said the information contained in the leaked file contains only that which was already available online. “People who use Facebook own their information and have the right to share only what they want, with whom they want, and when they want,” a spokesman said. “In this case, information that people have agreed to make public was collected by a single researcher and already exists in Google , Bing, other search engines , as well as on Facebook. “No private data is available or has been compromised.” The incident recalls similar controversy earlier this year, when Facebook received a slew of negative press concerning privacy settings, prompting a simplification within the website’s structure.

How to Get Top Search Engine Optimization and Placement Results with Google Caffeine

Since its debut in 1996, Google’s search engine has experienced countless updates and revisions. But none of those revisions have fundamentally changed the architecture of the Google search algorithm as much as Google’s latest update, codenamed Caffeine. While recent reports put Google’s market share at around 65 percent, a massive update to its search engine technology makes sense at this point. Microsoft’s new Bing search engine showed some resiliency in late 2009, while Web 2.0 services like Facebook and Twitter have done a lot to change the way people search for content on the Internet. For Google to remain the most popular search service, it will have to counter Bing’s claims of technical superiority. It would also have to more effectively incorporate “real-time search,” the term used for finding information and content – like tweets from Twitter and breaking news stories – that have just been posted. That means a radically different Google search engine

Is Google Really Developing a Facebook Killer?

No less than CNN is reporting rumors that Google does indeed have a social networking site in the works which could give Facebook some competition. This new social site/program is supposed to be called GoogleMe or Google Me. Only Google knows the truth. However, creating such a site would be a smart move on Google’s part since they do need to compete with Facebook, mainly because Facebook is turning into a real search engine, one that could possibly give Google a run for all those lucrative search dollars. Ridiculous you say – not really, especially when you consider Facebook’s recent move towards “Open Graph Search” and its use of the “Like” button and box. Unless the surfing public changes overnight, Bing/Yahoo is not going to give Google any real search competition, but Facebook with its massive number of users and rating system could present a true contender. We also might see a complete change in how the surfing public sees online search. Google and the other search engines are quickly becoming one big “joke” in regards to organic search with big companies buying and selling their way into the top 10 spots and the search engines are helpless to stop it.

Behind the Times: Murdoch’s Paywall?

A recent article in The Guardian newspaper claims that Rupert Murdoch’s online version of the Times is losing “almost 90% of [its] online readership”. Transposing business models of print media into online deserves an unrighteous kick in the pants In general, websites are support mechanisms for bricks-and-mortar companies and the attempt to elevate and transpose these business models to online, as many have argued in the past, is ignorant and bordering on the insane. Does Murdoch not realise that the newsstand of the new media model is Google; and why has he thought it wise to remove all his publications from it? In addition, the media industry has not seen fit to take account of a report by Peter Horrocks of the BBC that news corporations need to specialise. What is the point of putting your news behind a paywall when your competition is reporting the same news that doesn’t
