How to handle fake profiles on Facebook

2010-11-07T18:41:00.001-08:00

Facebook has reached a level where the user base is roughly estimated to cover around 37% of the total world population and along with this huge user base, the fake user base has risen to 27% of the total Facebook users (Nyberg, 2010). In other words, it means that if you get 10 friendship requests a day, then out of that 10 only 7 or 8 are real and the rest are fake (Nyberg, 2010).

There are various reasons that people tend to create fake profiles for themselves or they create fake profiles of others. The most common reason is for fun. It is just to have pranks on friends with the profiles. There are also other stupid reasons of why such fake profiles are created. It can be because of shallow relationships, lovers want to test their partner or a person wants to take revenge on someone.

There are people who create second identities online because they are not happy with themselves in real life. So when they are online, they can be a person whom they have always want to be.

The other reason why people create fake Facebook accounts is for business purposes. Most of the fake accounts are used by some companies themselves to promote their products; this is because people find it more convenient to believe in a product or a service when an individual refers or endorses it (Nyberg, 2010).

Another major reason which can affect the business is creating a fake account of your company. It may be created by someone who is not satisfied with your services or it can be your competitor. And such fake account/s can not only affect your business and reputation but can also frustrate you and loss of trust among your other customers and partners.

Title Tags: Another Important Element Of SEO

2010-11-06T06:23:00.001-07:00

Title tags are important elements in SEO tags for any website. The value of your title tags are enhanced when your keywords are placed in the beginning of the title tag. There is a limit to the number of characters used and allowed by search engines for title tags and its length should not be more than 60-65 characters. Although there are some search engines that allow fewer or more characters in a title.

Your title tags are searched by crawlers and spiders and serves as the main source in establishing what your web page is all about. Search engine spiders would examine your title tag and the words you used are then construed to be the topic of the page. This is the main reason why it is important to use your keywords in your page title and place them as close to the beginning of the title as much as possible. SERP's will show the text you include in your title tags as the linked title for searchers to click and be able to get to your site.

If for example, the topic of your site is about "retirement funding" and your target keywords are "retirement funding" and "retirement income", then a possible and highly relevant page title you can use on your text for title tag may go along the lines of "Retirement Funding Options to Increase Income". This is the most relevant topic of your site. When search engines crawl your site, the first thing it will encounter is the title tag. Your site will then be examined as well as the keywords you used on your site to establish how relevant the title is to the content of your site.

This is basically why it is essential to make use of the most significant keywords in your title tag. You may use as many as 20 keywords on your website but target at least two or three most important ones you can use on your title tag.

Additionally, building a unique title for every page in your site is also one vital element you need to consider when using title tags in your website design. Your title should be as descriptive as possible and remember to use the most effective keywords for your page. It is what will appear in the reverse title bar or tab title of your web browser.

When creating your title tags, you need to observe using the best title tags that contain targeted keywords, help enhance the brand of your site, and title should be to the point and interesting. More often than not, the text included between the opening and closing title tags also translates into the linked text that is shown in search engine rankings. This will either improve your visitor traffic or may cause searchers to choose a different search result.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for valuable market research

2010-11-03T06:26:00.001-07:00

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one of the smartest tools for internet marketing. This technique became essential when marketers realized its potential to bring customers or generating leads. A large gray area remained in the policies of the search engine due to which many search engine optimizers opt their own hand made practices for improvising results. However, the purpose remains the same. Search engine optimization has the tendency to hit multiple targets at once. One of its most powerful tools is research capabilities. Keywords based optimization is a common phenomenon every SEO use, but the actual power is beneath the consumer insights and market research.

How to Use the Google Keyword Analyzer

2010-11-02T17:40:00.001-07:00

The Google Keyword Analyzer is an online tool which can help you determine suitable keywords for pay per click, search engine optimization and article marketing and is very simple to use.

All you do is this. You type in (or copy and paste if you already have a list) your keywords, one per line. You select which country you want the results from, whether you want adult ideas and mobile search and you can filter your search results. By filter I mean for example that you can choose only to see results where the local monthly searches are higher than one thousand or any other number that you choose.

Alternatively, rather than entering your own keywords you can enter the url of a website to see what keywords your competition is using.

In addition, you can search by categories and include or exclude words or phrases and select broad, exact or phrase match types.

The Google keyword analyzer will give you the following column headings or you can choose which of them to display:

Keyword
Competition (this is just line on a bar to give you an idea)
Global Monthly Searches
Local Monthly Searches
Local Search Trends
Estimated Average CPC (cost per click)
Ad Share (percentage of time that your ad is shown for the exact match query)
Search Share (percentage of time that your website appeared on the first page of organic results for exact match keywords)
Extracted From Web Page

These last four items are for pay per click advertising purposes, whereas the others will help you with article marketing.

The Google keyword analyzer is particularly good for researching pay per click but, I don't think it's as good as some for article marketing and in neither case does it give you exact competing page data.

What it Takes to Succeed in Online Business?

2010-11-02T07:21:00.001-07:00

Online business is perhaps one of the most hyped up industry. A lot of people are led to believe that it is easy to get rich doing online business. But, the fact is that nothing is easy at all. Like any other business, a successful online business needs time and effort to build. You can't just create a website and then expect money to roll into your bank account. It will never happen like that.

So, what does it take to succeed in online business?

Here are some of the things you need to succeed in online business:

Mindset. This is very important. A lot of people have the wrong mindset about online business, they think that they don't need to work hard and treat it as a hobby, not a business. You see, a business is not a hobby. If you treat your business as a hobby, you will fail.

Enthusiasm. You must be enthusiastic about what you are doing. If potential customers find that you are not excited about your own business, then it is very unlikely that they will buy anything from you.

Blogging Rules to Get High PR

2010-11-02T05:38:00.000-07:00

In search engine optimization, there are rules that ought to be adhered to and done properly. For those who are fond of doing blogs, your blog will rank higher in search engine once you adhere to these simple rules. I have learned these key points when I already understood the rules in the world of bloggers and had began my own blog.

To start with, you have to make sure that your blog's URL contains primary keyword/s that you want to boost in your niche. Using of the targeted keyword in subdomains is also effective.

In the case of secondary keyword, use them infrequently in the body of your post if you want it get listed. The idea behind this is the more times a keyword appears within webpage, the more significant the page is likely to be for someone looking those keywords.

But try to remember not to exaggerate this by saying the same keywords over and over again. Google bots can determine if a keyword is too frequent on a page and might just do away with your site from their index. The number of times that a secondary keyword should be repeated in a post is five. That's the maximum.

Use your primary and secondary keywords in the anchor text of links when linking to other blog post to other pages of your blog. Keywords in links have more significance than simple text.

Be sure you to have the navigation bar present on all pages of your blog. Your past posts or at least the popular ones should be linked to all pages so they get crawled easily.

You need as many links as possible to link back to your posts or blog because it will help you build pagerank and get your blog to rank higher in search engines. The more links you have the higher your blog is ranked in Technorati, helping your blog to be found easily.

Here are some tips on how to get backlinks.

1. The very first thing that you must do to secure high-quality links is to send your blog and RSS feed to blog search engines and directories.
2. Link exchanging with other similarly-themed blogs will help you to form richly interlinked networks or communities.
3. Don't hesitate to link to an article or another blog if you find it appealing and is closely related to your niche. The trackback will become a link back to your blog.
4. Lastly, posting acceptable comments in response to posts on other blogs will help you get backlinks. Post legitimate comments regularly in related blogs with high traffic to have many backlinks.

Update your blog frequently or no less than thrice a week and make sure that you are using all the rules pointed out above. You will be flabbergasted on how your blog got a higher PR in just a little time.

Stick with the same domain or you could end up losing a lot of your traffic and regular readers. Also stick with the topic you selected for your blog. Don't post something about SEO today then you suddenly posted an article about skin care the next day.

HTML5 next wave of the web?

2010-11-02T01:09:00.000-07:00

We hear a lot of talks about this next upcoming wave of the web. From forums to blogs, this being a hot topic. When will it be implemented ? and how will it be more error free from the previous versions. New markets in Typography are opening up with the implementation of "@font-face", meaning designers at last can transfer the visual appeal of print to the web thanks to advances in CSS and HTML5. More styling will available developers. Large JavaScript libraries such as MooTools and JQuery can be slimmed down as HTML5 transfers many common tasks directly into the browser. Client side storage, session storage and client side posting are set to change how we communicate on the web. Web applications such as video are embedded by HTML without the need of JavaScript. This would be a great advancement specially that a lot of sites now has either one or more videos to promote its brand. Sites will begin to move away from Flash to deliver their video and onto HTML5, especially when current codec concerns with Mozilla Firefox are resolved.

We will be watching this as it develops and will be posting related articles as it comes in!

Top 5 elements that you need for high rankings on Google

2010-11-02T01:06:00.000-07:00

Getting listed on Google's first result page is the goal of many webmasters. Unfortunately, many webmasters still do the wrong things to improve their rankings.

It's not possible to get top 10 rankings on Google by focusing on a single strategy. Getting listed on Google requires you to work on all elements of your website. Here are the top 5 factors that influence the position of your website in Google's search results:

Ranking factor 1: website accessibility

It doesn't make sense to optimize your web pages if search engines cannot access your web pages:

* Your robots.txt file should allow search engines to visit your web pages. If your robots.txt file contains errors then many search engines won't list your website.

* The HTML code of your web pages should be error-free and your web server should return the correct response code. The contents of your web pages should be readable to search engine spiders. Details can be found here.

Before you start to optimize your web pages, check if search engines can read your web page content. You can do this with IBP's spider simulator. Double-check your robots.txt.

Ranking factor 2: site architecture

Google wants to show relevant websites in the search results. Your website shouldn't be a collection of random web pages. If you want to get top 10 rankings on Google, the pages of your website should be related.

Your web pages should show Google that your website is relevant to a certain topic. All pages of your website should be linked. If possible, web surfers should reach any page of your website with a maximum of three clicks.

The links and the directory structure of your website should make it easy to search engines to categorize the contents of your website.

Ranking factor 3: keywords

Choosing the right keywords is one of the most important steps. If you choose the wrong keywords, you won't succeed with your campaign.

* Optimize different pages of your website for different keyphrases. The more pages of your website you optimize, the better.

* Start with very targeted keyphrases that consists of many words, for example "find inexpensive hotels in brussels".

* When you have top rankings for these targeted keyphrases, proceed with more general keywords such as "hotels in brussels".

* When you have top rankings for these keyphrases, you can proceed with very general keywords such as "hotels".

In general, targeted keywords have a much higher conversion rate than general keywords, i.e. you will get more sales per visitor with "find inexpensive hotels in brussels" than with "hotels".

Also think about the type of visitor that you attract with a keyword. Are these people interested in information or do they want to buy?

Use IBP's comprehensive keyword tools to find the keywords that will work best with your site. You can find further information on how to find the correct keyword type in the IBP manual (PDF).

Ranking factor 4: content

Your website won't get high rankings on Google if it only offers articles and affiliate links that can be found on dozens of other websites.

Separate your website from the rest by creating unique and trustworthy content. Write your own articles about the topic of your website, publish them on your own website and make your website a useful resource.

Ranking factor 5: links from other websites

It is not possible to get high rankings on Google without having links from other websites.

The more links point to your website, the more likely it is that your website gets good positions in Google's search results. The links to your website should be from trusted websites.

If a web page that links to you is related to your own website then the effect of that link on the search engine rankings of your website is higher than the effect of an unrelated link.

It also helps if social bookmark websites link to your website. If many people bookmark your website on social bookmark sites, then this is a sign that your website might deserve high rankings.

A small error in one element can destroy your effects in all other ranking elements. For that reason, it is important to use the right strategy when optimizing your website.

Understanding Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

2010-11-02T01:05:00.000-07:00

Search engine marketing, or SEM, is a form of Internet marketing that seeks to promote websites by increasing their visibility in search engine result pages (SERPs) through the use of search engine optimization, paid placement, contextual advertising, and paid inclusion. Usage of the term "search engine marketing" has been inconsistent. The trade association Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO) includes search engine optimization (SEO), and SEO is also included in the industry definitions of SEM by Forrester Research, eMarketer, Search Engine Watch, and industry expert Danny Sullivan.
