Why Facebook User Data Matters to Advertisers

Using Facebook is more common than any other social network from around the world. There are more than 1.26 billion users on Facebook as of Q3 2013, more than 1/7 of the entire world's population. Each day, a collective 20 billion minutes is spent by daily users browsing and surfing on Facebook. Facebook statistical data and information is extremely valuable to marketers and advertisers today, whether a brand is trying to sell products, services or even plans to share content. Understanding the most popular statistics and how Facebook affects the marketing industry can help you when planning your next advertising campaign.

User Behavior

Tracking user behavior is one of the most important factors for advertisers and those who are in charge of running and managing online promotional campaigns. The top life events in the US alone during 2013 included adding a relationship, getting married, getting engaged, traveling and even moving. The remaining top life events on Facebook in 2013 included ending a relationship, having a baby, expecting a baby, first meeting someone or losing a loved one.

The more talked about topic in the US in 2013 was the Super Bowl. Additional topics that were most popular on Facebook in 2013 included The Conjuring, ABC's Scandal, "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk, and even the book "Happy, Happy, Happy: My Life and Legacy as the Duck Commander" by Phil Robertson. Additionally, the Criminal Case game created by Pretty Simple Games was also one of the most talked about topics in the US using Facebook. Coming in on the list also included Peyton Manning, the government shutdown, Instagram and even the Harlem shake.

Understanding what is popular at all times with the use of Facebook is a way for advertisers and those involved in marketing to pinpoint the best methods of reaching any specific audience or intended demographic. The more you understand about the audience you want to reach, the easier it becomes to develop well-received advertisements that are relevant, interesting, original and well-branded to your company. The more in-tune you are with the latest impact Facebook is having on its users, the more likely you are to experience success when building an online presence using networking platforms.

Worst Rank-Destroying SEO Mistakes

World of SEO is full of do-it-yourself experts, who only have a very basic grasp of what actually goes into a potentially successful campaign. If you believe that you belong to this category, you should know about some common, and potentially, very serious mistakes that are easy to avoid, but that could otherwise lead not only to all of your effort being completely futile, but actually cause the site that you are working on to be deindexed.

Choosing Inadequate Hosting

Naturally, if you intend on working on an already existing website, the owner may not be willing to change their hosting, but if you are considering optimizing a website that hasn’t been built yet, you should carefully consider your hosting options.

The provider has to be able to offer support for all the scripts and tools that your site will need, as well as afford you with enough resources so that the site doesn’t freeze as soon as your traffic spikes for the first time. Likewise, you need to make sure that you are not in a bad neighborhood, which is to say that your provider is not hosting spammy sites, as that might label you as a spammer as well.

Using Restricted Techniques

You have probably heard about three approaches to SEO – White, Gray and Black hat. Black Hat is the worst possible resort when it comes to Google-approved practices, it is considered to be unethical and because of these wrongful methods your website might easily get deindexed. This means strict avoidance of keyword stuffing, site scraping, cloaking, and others.

White Hat is completely different aspect of increasing your website’s visibility; it is the key to effective SEO. It allows keeping the integrity of the website while still existing within the frame of search engine’s terms of service. Provide great content made especially for the readers – not for the sake of links, find a solid keyword phrase that precisely represents your webpage, make your way to inbound linking and pay attention to page elements – visually break up your page with SEO-appropriate headings. If your methods do not comply with White Hat postulates – none of the SEO techniques are effective.

Not Doing Your Onsite Properly

A lot of people who are new to SEO focus on off page factors, like building the link portfolio and reaching out to people on different social networks. While these are important parts of an SEO strategy, you should only start dealing with them once you have a solid base, which is to say a site with decent onsite. This includes a number of things, like making sure that your page titles contain the keywords that you want to rank for; that you have optimized your internal linking structure for the best effect; that your page loading times are as low as possible; that you have an XML sitemap to help out the crawlers; that your bounce rate is at its minimum, as well as a number of other things.

Duplicated Pages

While it is sometimes impossible not to have several versions of a page, you should at least try to designate the canonical one, marking it as the one that crawlers should pay attention to. While having several versions of a same page is admissible in some instances, you should always be careful not to let this happen with your home page, as that could lead to significant loss of link value.

A little bit of planning goes a long way. Every bit of the effort you invest in preserving your good rankings is worth your time because it most definitely delivers great results.

26 Tips For A Blogger - Learn From My Journal

It would be much more, but I thought that at least this time I'll try to limit myself only to 26 tips for bloggers. Tips that I find useful and which can help you in your development as a blogger, increase traffic, online visibility, and blog monetization.

I write these tips as a result of my attempt to form some bloggers over time, so I could see some of the problems faced during the blog development.

Tips for a beginning blogger

1) Content is more important than design. Do not base your blog on a catchy design, if you have good content, interesting, attractive. And that can be learned.

2) How often do you write? Make a schedule and stick to it (it should be at least 2 times a week. More than two articles per week to keep up than to write one every day for 10 days, then disappear the next two months. Readers will notice your disappearance.

3) Do not ask the other bloggers for backlinks if you have not published anything on the website. It bothers me when I receive such requests. I recommend you ask for links to blogs that are at a similar level to you. Although I think the best would be to focus on writing content.

4) Do not focus on monetization if you have not posted anything on the site. Honestly, how likely do you think you will make money if you have not given anything?

5) No rattle or influencer other bloggers to give you share articles. Rather you can always ask about your articles, you can ask to give you an interview, etc. But if you're going to send emails to each of them and asking them to promote it, you risk creating a negative image. Plus, at some point they cease to help you.

6) Do not rely on traffic from another blogger (or more). Even if another blogger or influencer helps, do not count that you would pick up from this blog. I repeat: the only way to pick up a blog is to write content (articles) and striving to do better and better.

7) What do you write? Define issues that you will address and choose them as categories of the blog. Follow this strategy. If you have a blog about photography is stupid to write about the relationship of the couple and the care of cats and programming in PHP. Decide what niche you want to approach. When you feel that you are not satisfied with it then change blog direction, but do it consciously.

8) Do not overdo your share on Facebook. If you share in your articles to all Facebook pages, groups and profile of your Friends, you become annoying. Do not be naive, that you will not bring visitors, but you will create a negative image.

9) No email spam. If someone has not subscribed to your blog, do not submit articles by email.

10) Learn to write a title in a reasonably attractive way. I recommend the sites where you can read books online for free.

11) Read what you write out loud. That before publishing the article. If you think that something doesn't sounds good, rewrite the sentence. Rewrite article until you are satisfied. Usually this means to rewrite it several times. When you think it's good, publish it. There might be mistakes, you can correct later. You do not have to be perfect either.

12) Help others bloggers. Give them share to articles if they are good, give a like, tweet or leave a comment with your blog in the website field. Gradually you will be noted. Be careful not to get to the other side.

13) Don't open five blogs simultaneously. Start one, choose a name that makes sense and builds it. When big enough, you can start another project.

14) Get in touch with other bloggers. It's called networking. See what events are they present and be there. Create connections with them.

15) Respect your readers. If you promise something (eg that you write every day for a month) keep your promise.

16) Invest in your blog. At first just time and energy. As you can afford and you can also invest money.

17) Make a SEO strategy. Work on it.

18) Make a SMO strategy (Social Media Optimization). Work on it.

19) Work daily on your blog. You do not have to write every day. There are other tasks you can handle.

20) Become visible both online and offline. Get involved in community projects and online or face-to-face to ensure your visibility and exposure.

21) Do not leave spam comments on another blogs.

22) Do not let your blog be just a collection of separate items. Get links from your articles where possible.

23) Optimize your blog to keep your readers for it. On this side I worked mainly on literary style and focus on the more useful content. There are hundreds of ways to optimize the experience of readers.

24) The blog is not a democracy. There are the same rights for everyone involved. If we make an analogy, the blog is more like a dictatorship. When someone is making talks beyond measure is your duty to intervene.

25) Do not count that you will live from your blog. Unlikely you'll do that for quite a while, so make sure you have some source of income. You can make money from blogging, but it takes up time and work.

26) Periodically pick a day to do just administrative tasks. I usually do every Thursday and consists of tasks such as: replacement of broken links in articles, backup and database optimization, rewriting old articles, inserting links in articles (for example, take the last article and see where on the older articles you could put internal links).

There is a period (in many cases for over a year) in which you will not have any results. Most bloggers give in this time, disappointed that they do not see immediate results: traffic, website comments, likes etc. Unfortunately they do not come right away (unless you already have a very good online reputation).

I still believe that blogs (personal development blog or any niche) are a great tool and should be used extensively. The results will come, no matter how you started as a blogger.

If you already have a blog or want to make a website, give your opinion about the following topic: What problems did you encounter? What do you think should be avoided?

Google Zoo - Predictions for future Google SEO updates

2013 has been a major year for Google updates and there’s no question that it’s been unlucky for some, with Google Penguin 1, 2 and 2.1 all focusing on penalties for sites that Google consider spamy, whether it’s having automated on-page content, or building links solely for the purpose of SEO.

No-one predicted quite how hard Google would strike or how many different types of link they would label as 'Bad'. Amongst the types of link that were hardest hit were:

• Automated paid links (in December 2013 Google announced that they had found a way to identify links from a major backlink network, with other link networks expected to be penalised in 2014).
• Mass article submissions (submitting the same article to multiple article sites).
• Foreign language links with English anchor texts or vice versa (for an effective way to do multilingual SEO, visit www.indigoextra.com/multilingual-seo).

The attached Google Zoo infographic has some more predictions for 2014. If it’s right, then anyone practising white hat SEO is likely to be lucky this year. Other predictions include an increased focus on graphic design and the creation of the GooiMac … not all of the predicted Google SEO updates are to be taken seriously, although hopefully they'll give you some tips that prove useful.

The Benefits of Twitter to Every Modern Business

The dilemma that lots of modern companies face is far removed from the early question of whether employees need to use social media at work. Having seen the far-reaching good effect of social media to firm profitability and success, the one question that should be on the minds of managers is how to effectively use social media within the place of work. One of the accessible social media platforms that aid in enhancing employee’s productivity, abilities and interaction within the organization is Twitter. You may also check followersboosts.com if you so desire to improve your Twitter presence immensely.

Hiring the Best Talent

A survey by the Emerging Workforce Study discovered that 45% of staff considered that a company's presence in social media affects their choice of a new employer. This shows that a company that does not have a meaningful social media presence could be less appealing for many potential employees.

A firm can take advantage of the personal accounts of its employees to help improve its reach in online platforms such as Twitter. Indeed, workers can be great brand evangelists for the company, simply by tweeting on current events within the business. In comparison to the company’s Twitter account alone, it will be simpler to cover different online communities if all the Twitter accounts of your employees are maximized. It's through this that a lot of prospective workers will be reached and give awareness at the same time concerning the company itself.

Giving workers the freedom in making use of their own Twitter account while at work will much more likely attract today’s skilled and talented people. Many such creative minds like venturing into new areas of discovery without much regulatory problems. With that, most skilled workers choose to work in a flexible working environment.



Then again, the level of productivity at work will be compromise if the use of social media is abused. Hence, any company seeking to maintain the benefits of social media should evaluate the best way to utilize social platforms. One way to handle the use of social media may involve greater access by departments that benefit most from its use. The departments that typically benefit most from use of social media include:

• Sales
• Advertising, and
• Customer care

Enhanced Productivity

A new study carried out by Evolv (a company that evaluates the metrics of Fortune 500 companies) found that use of social media actually improves productivity among certain groups of workers. The social interaction offered by sites like Twitter provides the best opportunity for many sales people to achieve bigger reach with prospective clients. As compared to the employees who aren’t benefiting from the usage of social media, these employees are able to close a number of deals and simply bringing their business to greater heights.

There were also companies which took advantage of Twitter in making use of their accounts to offer customer care services. By way of this, any client’s complaints, concerns and queries can be immediately managed by employees. Considering this fast and dependable response, the company can attain customer loyalty that will also guarantee long term sales.

In addition, employees can effortlessly determine the company’s reputation in line with the public’s perception in Twitter. Besides, any misguided opinions can be directly corrected before it actually shed a bad light for the company. Also, wrong information regarding the company can be dealt with by brand managers as soon as it is detected. Thus, the reputation of the firm is left unstained.

Such social platforms as Twitter give a great chance for following up on previous clients of the company. Sales personnel can continually communicate with past clients without appearing to be pushy when it comes to business related deals. With this casual communication, the firm will be able to land more return of sales opportunities from former clients.

Social media recognition that any worker have achieved will also impact the organization in a good way. Many individuals on social media would have a positive perception of the businesses in which well-known professionals work. In other words, if specialists are highly prominent in social media platforms, they would also spread the fame to the companies they're a part of.

Better Relationships at Work

In terms of modern organizations, they offer an open line of communication between entry level personnel and greatest ranking executives. Such active communication could be enhanced further through social media platforms. Such a platform as Twitter facilitates for an unreserved and truthful interaction between workers at different levels in a company. This will also provide lower-level employees a chance to say what they want to say towards the higher-level personnel within the company. This is contrary to traditional memos and emails which provide less opportunity for entry-level employees to express their unreserved opinions.

Twitter really gives a clear line of social communication between employees that promote understanding and appreciation. Moreover, workers can easily share their ideas, perspectives, and how they see life which can help them lead to far better choices. HR managers can make use of this platform into their own benefit. By knowing the current issues that are brewing within the company; they can handle each issues by developing useful strategies and programs that will afterwards eliminate any resistance against the firm.

Countless companies organize team building activities partly to develop closer social interaction among the workers. Such social interaction can be boosted through social media. By interacting with one another on Twitter, numerous workers develop closer relationships beyond the work environment. This can assist develop team work and cooperation within a business.

Once employees and managers are having a good line of communication on Twitter, this promotes understanding not just on a personal level but also to the innate skills and talents they possess. This is one way of getting information that is needed in the deciding which employee deserves a job promotion. Nevertheless, HR managers can determine the ideals and values of the employees which also work as a basis for promotion.

Social media is currently an essential tool in the business operation of countless organizations. No business companies can afford to miss making use of this useful tool if they want to be successful. By identifying and using the advantageous aspects of social media use, both small businesses and large organizations can accomplish greater productivity and long term sustainability.

4 Methods Of Increasing Your Blog’s Domain Authority

The day-to-day activity and lifestyle of people across the world have undergone major changes due to the several breakthroughs in technology that have taken place over time. Now, people have grown used to relying heavily on high-tech gadgets. These days, it is almost unthinkable to survive without using tools like internet, laptop, computers, tablets and mobiles phones. Computers and internet have especially become an indispensible part of people’s lives with answers to almost all questions that arise in the minds of people available there. Companies and business firms have also realized the need to take advantage of the internet and thus, e-commerce and online marketing have become an integral part of the marketing strategies of businesses. Website content writing is another essential part of online marketing which helps attract visitors.

It is extremely important to make sure that the company website is attractive for which the content that is written for it must be magnetic. It has to be short, crisp and precise. These days, blogging has become a major aspect of content writing for the generation of public interest in the various services and products offered by a company. There are lots of people who are into blogging. Many of them create blogs as a hobby while it is also used as a major tool for the promotion of businesses. Most companies have resorted to blogging and also acquire assistance from outsourcing companies so that the blogs are to the point and achieve the desired results.

Blogging is like an art and for the proper utilization of blogs to expand the business, there are certain rules to be followed so that traffic is built, domain authority of the blog is increased and customers are attracted. I have given here 4 useful and basic ways to increase your blog visibility which have been pretty useful for me. I am sure these will work for you as well.

1. Target and make a database of groups of audience who will be able to share your website with others. Remember internet is a boon for sharing information with just some clicks. Thus, if you can target a group who can be persuaded to share your website and blog to other users, there’s nothing like it. However, make sure that the website content writing of the blog is compelling and interesting enough for them to talk about it and share it. Then, the audience will share your blog and blog posts with different websites like social media sites, forums and even other blogs. For best results, target those people who are quite active on Twitter, Facebook and other such social media sites. This is also applicable for those people who have their own personal blogs.
2. Writing the blog itself is an extremely smart idea. The blog should be informative and interesting. I used to write press releases to discuss my products and highlight their advantages and usefulness. In fact, you can write articles on the benefits associated with specific products and even provide weekly or daily titbits, tips and other information. The blog should also be SEO-friendly and you can do this by utilising Search Engine Optimization. It is a hugely popular business strategy that drives huge traffic to websites. Full advantage of SEO services should be taken to develop a strong connection between blogging and online business.
3. Social media networking sites are extremely popular these days. Almost every other person, whether young or old, is hooked to this internet phenomenon. Take advantage of this and try to tap this huge crowd. Open a business account in these sites and attract these people to link them back to the main website or blog. Post meaningful comments on other forums and posts of people. Promote your blogs in the sites as advertisements; while promoting, you must make sure the account has useful information.
4. Remember, more the merrier; so your website should be submitted to multiple website directories and search engines like Google, Yahoo, CanLink, Rankin Directory and Buzzle. The target should be industry-specific ones as their primary subject matter will coincide with the subject matter of your website.

In website content writing, it is of primary importance to use titles that are keyword-rich as this will help maximise the rank of your listing. So happy blogging!

The Most Important Domain Factors That Determine Your Website Ranking In Search Engines

One of the most important things you need to do before you start the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) of your website is to understand and implement the domain factors that are associated with your website ranking in search engines. Without understanding them the search engine optimization process may not give the desired results and will become more of an attempt to shoot in the dark. Of course, the algorithm of Google used for ranking the websites is kept in secret, and yet the experience and opinion of many SEO specialists lead to discovering some relations between what your website is and what its ranking is taking into account certain keywords.

The factors that determine your website ranking in search engines can be divided in two categories – the ones related to the domain of your website and the ones related to the pages of your website.

Domain factors that determine your website ranking in search engines:

1) Using keywords in the domain name:

This factor is associated with the influence that keywords used in your domain name have in order to get a better ranking. There are different options:

1. the keyword is used in the domain name (it is also important if the keyword is in the beginning, in the middle or in the end of your domain name);
2. the keyword equals to the domain name;
3. the keyword is used in the subdomain name;
4. the keyword is used as an expansion of the domain;
5. the keyword is used as a mixture of a domain name and domain expansion.

2) Using some hyperlinks and their authority (influence) over the ranking of your website in search engines:

The evaluation of this criteria includes the number of hyperlinks and their quality that point to your website domain. It is important for you to know that all links associated with your domain are taken into account. This factor includes several points:

1. the amount of unique domains containing hyperlinks to your website (with an exact or partial anchor text);
2. the authority (importance) of the domain (i.e. pagerank, mozrank, etc.);
3. the amount of unique URLs to your website (dofollow and nofollow);
4. if the theme of your website coincides with the themes of the websites you are creating links to;
5. the amount of unique c-blocks of IP addresses, which link to your website;
6. the variety of link types that point to your domain (for example forums, blogs, news websites);
7. are there any links from reputable websites.

Some recent studies about the amount of dofollow links have proved that if a website has only a few nofollow link compared to the number of dofollow links it will probably achieve the exact opposite of a good ranking. Some SEO specialists say that Google actually finds it unnatural if a certain website has more dofollow than nofollow links.

3) Onpage domain factors that are not associated with your keyword:

There are also some other factors apart from keyword density and links that are important for the ranking of your website in search engines. Some of them are:

1. domain name properties (the number of the letters, hyphens, etc); 
2. uniqueness of the website content; 
3. website updates; 
4. bounce rate of the website; 
5. summarized CTR evaluation from search engine results page (SERP); 
6. domain registration date; 
7. response speed of the domain; 
8. the number of found 404 pages; 
9. the quality of the other webstites located on the same C-block (this is the IP address of the host server); 
10. time remaining until domain expire date.

The conclusion of most SEO specialists is that the length of your domain name is one of the key factors of your website ranking in search engines. In addition, it is better if you don't use any hyphens or digits in your domain name. Moreover, you must have in mind that the domains expiring in less than a year, get reduced scanning by Google and the indexing speed decreases significantly. The speed and the unique content of your website is also not to be underestimated.

4) Brand domain level:

This factor includes the elements of the domain that show its brand qualities. Some of them are:

1. searches of the brand/domain;
2. presence of the domain in news websites and social networks;
3. presence of the domain in Wikipedia;
4. presence of the website in Google places;
5. official Facebook page of the website;
6. official Twitter page of the website;
7. official LinkedIn page of the website.

It is considered that the amount of shares and references of the domain in news websites and social media websites has a positive influence on its ranking in search engines. In addition, these shares and references lead to increasing of the website's traffic, which is also taken into account when it comes to website ranking.

How Much Is A Site Worth?

Most buyers consider the net profit made by the website annually plus some percentage higher than this amount. Suppose, for example, a website’s annual net profit amounts to $100,000.00 a buyer may multiply this amount with 1.5 and give an offer of $150,000.00 as the buying price for the entire website.



For a client, determining the value of his or her website is a difficult task.Here are some of the bases when pricing them:

• Sales and Profit numbers and trends.
• Traffic numbers and trends.
• Age of the business.
• Domain name value.
• Industry sector trends and outlook.
• Business growth potential.
• Proprietary or non-proprietary products.
• Unique content.
• Inventory count (if applicable).
• Advertising methods and costs.
• Personnel expertise needed to operate the business.
• Seller financing.
• Non-compete terms.

If you have registered your domain in a popular hosting company such as BigRock using Bigrock Coupons, you should have bought the domain name for a less amount. At the core of the valuation process, the seller needs to determine the net profit of the website. To arrive at the actual net profit of the website requires subtracting all the expenses incurred in the course of running the website from the total revenues made. It is recommended that this calculation is based on a period of 12 months. After determining this amount, the seller may select a multiplier value. In majority of cases, for new websites, this value is set at 1.5. For high risk websites, this value ranges between 0.5 and 1.0; and for well established websites, the value may be between 1.5 and 2.5. It is important to note that this values presented here are based on websites with transactions over $1,000,000.00 over a period of a couple of years.

When you should sell your website?

To many website owners, their site is like their brainchild. To others, owning a website is a dream come true. Many owners would be hesitant to sell their website for sentimental reasons, but business is business and you bought that site before in order to gain profit. So, when is the right time to have your website listed for sale in a website brokerage like the BizBroker24?

There are several indicators that the right time has come for you to dispose your site and gain profit from the sale.

First, when the economy is healthy and buyers are offering good prices, it is probably time for you to sell your website. The economy fluctuates and you might regret it when it starts going down again, and along with its downward spiral goes the price offered for websites. You can wait for the price to go up but this might take months or years, when your site is not as attractive as it is today.

Second, you may consider it the right time to sell your website when you have just received a very good offer. This is an opportunity that is difficult to take for granted. Opportunity knocks only once so, grab it. You might not have that kind of offer anymore in your entire career as a website owner and internet businessman.

Third, you are in the period of your life when you want to relax and have fun for a while. You could have worked for so many years already and you think you need an important holiday. You are already tired of spending time and money on your websites. Well, it is time to sell your site and enjoy the profit from the sales.

Fourth, one reason why you must sell your site is the fact that you are interested in doing something else. You might want an office job, go abroad or have an offline business. It will be a punishment for you to run a site and perform tasks that you hate so, follow your mind’s direction. Sell that site and do something new.

Fifth, it is time for you to sell a website when you notice that your income from it is falling down. Sell your website before the situation becomes worse and before your website becomes worthless. You will have difficulty making it perform as it used to do before.

Sixth, you need to move fast. Some of you would not sell your website because you are still waiting for a better offer but what if the dream will not come. What could happen is that you will be saddled with a website that has little worth or value.

Seventh, there is a threat in your niche. For instance, you are selling health products. Then, there are several products that are similar with what you sell that are cheaper yet, better than what you have. You will have reason to foresee losing your customers over to the sites that promote the new product. This could be the time to seriously consider selling your website.

Success in selling a website is mostly dependent on timing. Offer it for sale when you think everything is on your favors and you will surely get a good price for it.
