Thank a Plugin Developer Day

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

WordPress by itself is very simple — what makes it compelling for most of its users is the wide array of plugins (and themes) available for WP. The average WordPress blog has about 5 plugins installed! Today we just passed 4,000 plugins available in our plugin directory. (Which is also embedded into everyone’s WordPress 2.7 or above.)

I declare January 28th our official “Thank a Plugin Developer” day. To celebrate take a look at the plugins you use and love, visit the author’s site, find their contact form, and drop them a note thanking them. (Or Paypal!) Look for the links in the plugin directory to “author homepage” and also to donate directly if they’ve specified a Paypal address.

Thank you to everyone who has ever written a plugin for WordPress, and here’s to the next four thousand. :)

The FQL Factor and Your Internet Profits

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Do you know your unique FQL Factor? Well first, allow me to explain that the FQL Factor is a success measure called Financial Quantum Leap Factor. So let me pose the question again.

Now that you know what it is, have you considered what your FQL should be?

As you know, we are all worried about the state of the global economy. Multinational conglomerates and powerful US financial institutions are failing . The US economy is totally destabilized. We are witnessing catastrophic economic collapse in proportions not known since the last century.

The world is aware of the current economic crisis, and millions of people are waiting for the next news story regarding the unfurling financial disasters that may impact them - and possibly wipe out their life savings.

So why the question, What is your 2009 Financial Quantum Leap Factor?

Honestly, there is a bottom line here. You can either be a highly proactive and well intentioned financial achiever who plans out their explosive success rate, or you can be one of the billions of people who procrastinate and wait for the next onslaught of negative economic news.

While the nations of the world are concerned about the doom and gloom of the worsening financial crisis, and social charity takes a back seat to self perpetuating worries, there is a better way to approach the coming year! First off, note that the political change in America is a prime opportunity for the US to get it right.

President Obama has a plan to reverse the seemingly immeasurable damage George W had afflicted on the US and the world through his tenure. It is going to take Obama his full two terms in office (yes I predict Obama will be in office for us for two terms) to correct the economic state, but he can and will do it.

Barack can only do so much at once but he can and will steer the country until crisis is over and wealth and abundance is upon his country once again.

This is a time for you to look at this opportunity as a chance for you to make measurable changes in your life and in your attitude towards your financial abundance. This article regarding your FQL Factor for 2009 is not a call to make a New Years resolution, but rather it is a call to action to commit yourself - like I am committing myself - to explosive - yes - exponential financial growth in 2009 and in years to come.

You see, even in the worst financial crises, there are those who rise above adversity, and commit themselves to their absolute success.

Your FQL factor next year may be to start a business and go from zero to $12,000 in sales. Alternatively, it may be to skyrocket your sales from $10,000 a month to $100K a month. My recommendation to entrepreneurs like yourself is to not just aim to double or triple your cashflow, but to commit to a tenfold increase in your wealth in the coming year!

Correct! No matter what level you are at, you can look to making the next year be the year that you earn 10 times more wealth than last year.

The easy ways to get one way links

Monday, January 26th, 2009

One thing to remember is that each link that you get, helps to push you up the Google ranks. Don’t go over the top and sit there for days at a time as this will only lead to burnout and you will not get anywhere. Set yourself a goal of submitting to say 10-20 directories and in no time you will have thousands completed.

Almost every webmaster knows the best way to propel your website to the top of the search engine results is by getting backlinks. Not just any back links but relevant and high authority back links from other sites in your niche.

Tricks such as keyword stuffing, cloaking, blog spamming ….. are things that have worked at one time, but are definitely not something that will lasts in the long haul. A website will eventually either get banned for doing something like that, or simply will not get ranked anywhere and your hard work and effort will be in vain.

With that said, now is the time to start taking your Internet business very seriously. There are legitimate ways and methods to increase your search engine ranking that will always be effective at not only increasing your search engine ranking, but also at building your credibility in you’re chosen niche, generating quality leads to your Internet business, and not to mention, getting your name and business in front of many people around the world.

It’s a given that link popularity is one of the primary criteria search engines use for website rankings. The more links directing traffic to your site, the higher it gets ranked by large search engines.

This is where this brand new, free software program created by Brad Callen and Bryxen Software, Inc. comes into play. This software will allow you to submit your articles to over 600, yes no mistake, six hundred of the most popular article directories from all over the world.

Search Engine Optimization 101

Monday, January 26th, 2009

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the act of optimizing a website for free listing in search engine’s listings. To rank well naturally, a web owner can reap the benefits of free traffic search engines have to offer.

Search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN utilize automated programs called search engine spiders or robots to access a website’s pages. The robots crawl the pages and copy it to be later added to a search engine’s index. Billions of pages are indexed in massive databases, and when a search request is made, a search engine processes (compares the search string in the search request) with the billions of indexed pages in it’s database. A search engine’s algorithm is then able to begin determining the relevancy of the near endless pages in the index to the search string requested.

Search engines perform the following tasks:

- Web Spidering - Index Web Pages - Process Information - Calculate Relevancy - Retrieve Information

An algorithm is a set of rules that determines the relevancy of a requested search. All search engines keep the knowledge of how their engines actually work a mystery. Otherwise, savvy individuals could alter search positioning in their favor. There are presently more than 200 factors what contribute to the ranking of an organic search. On personal searches, you may realized similar search results with different search engines. Each search engine has its own guidelines for how it searches and retrieves information, but for the most part, every major search engine will follow similar guidelines in determining search relevancy.

On-Page Optimization

The term used to describe the altering of factors on a website is On-Page Optimization. Factors include keyword density, keywords used in Title, Meta, Alt tags, and the type of support pages and number of links used throughout the site. The search engine algorithm also takes into consideration the strength of a key term based on it’s prominence on the page. The first two hundred words will usually hold more weight than the words following.

Other factors that contribute to a pages optimization are the use of synonyms, videos used, blogs, and the way that top-level sections are structured. The server used, a sites domain name status, site analytics of site bounce rate are other factors that can contribute to how highly or low a page is ranked. However, how well a page is optimized only contributes to roughly 30% of an overall SEO implementation. Off-page factors contribute the other 70%.

Off Page Factors

Off-Page Optimization refers to factors that cannot be altered by the site owner or Webmaster. Such factors include the type and number of links that point back to the website. If the site has a robust number of quality inbound links, it is considered a vote of confidence by search engines. On the other hand, it is possible for a site to have a large number of incoming links that add absolutely no value to a site. The first order of business is quality over quantity.

Social media is another off-page optimization strategy that can help influence search rankings. This is one of the more popular methods in search today. With so many social media websites online, someone can become inundated with all the opportunities. Building up followers and creating attention getting viral campaigns is quite important to success in social media. Once you can capture your audience, expect to receive a large stream of traffic and potential inbound links.

SEO is also the hardest strategy to execute of all the online SEM disciplines. Results take time, and in some cases it may take up to a full year to see the kind of results hope for. However, the wait is well worth it.

The Various Search Engines to Target

Monday, January 26th, 2009

A search engine is really a search portal. The term may be used universally, but there are actually three different types of search portals that a Dallas SEO Company will help you target. The Dallas Web Design will target portals that include search engines, directories, and meta search engines.

The right Dallas SEO Company can aid your business with your website in a lot of ways. Whether or not you decide to hire a good Dallas Web Design company, it still pays to become acquainted with different types of search portals and what they can do for you.

An actual search engine is designed to check a database for web pages on the Internet that match a search request made by a user. The web pages will be ranked from highest to lowest but there are many factors it depends on. A rank is the way the search engine prioritizes your site and will list your site in the results. A Dallas SEO Company can help you with a top ranking and be a front page on the results. When you use the proper Dallas Web Design you can get an excellent rank with your business. Without a good rank it could affect you negatively.

When you hire a Dallas SEO company to help you with the vital keywords for your content, you will fare better in ranking on the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN and Lycos. The Dallas web design company will not only study the keywords, but also how they are used and how often to get the right amount of density for the content.

A directory works differently than a regular search engine. A directory uses a hierarchical system that moves from the top on down. The right Dallas Web Design will optimize your site for directories, too. By using a good Dallas SEO Company your website URL will be listed in the database of numerous and varied directories to get more traffic for your site. This is the solitary way you are able to get listed with these directories.

Getting listed with a Meta search engine is also something a Dallas SEO Company can help you with. The Meta search engines are like mega-search portals that give you the best of the search engines and directories combined. The idea behind these is to give the customer the best possible results with every search. Your Dallas Web Design company will get your site listed with the top Meta search engines like ixquick and DogPile.

There are different types of search engines a Dallas SEO Company can list you with. They can provide the right Dallas Web Design to be sure you are listed with the search engines, directories, and meta search engines. This includes the type of content you have on your site, listing you and more. Not knowing these different directories can cause your business not to be listed with large databases. If you don’t hire a professional it can cause you to lose thousands of customers on a daily basis throughout the World Wide Web.

Marketers Secret Weapon is Web Conferencing

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Becoming a successful web marketer requires availing yourself of the most cutting-edge technologies and techniques for getting your marketing message out and converting your audience into earnings. Today what this means is combining the awesome powers of two state-of-the-art tools of trade: web conferencing and PowerPoint presentations. The web marketers who are most successfully dominating their niches are those who employ both of these resources in conjunction with one another.

The tools web marketers used in the past–Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ad campaigns, telephone conference calling, elaborate Help Centers with FAQs, searchable Knowledge Bases, and toll-free telephone numbers–are no longer enough to provide your customers and colleagues (existing and prospective) the kind of services and savings they require in order to do business with you. Suppose the meeting or conference (as most marketing-oriented meetings and conferences do these days) merits inclusion of an audio-visual presentation. A teleconference will do no good then. But (until recently) that only left one other option–quite possibly one of the most significant expenses in any company’s budget: travel expenses. And as travel costs continue to rise astronomically in an increasingly uncertain economic climate and in-person conferences become increasingly cost-prohibitive for all parties involved, alternatives to in-person conferences are vital to a modern business’s very survival. Teleconferencing, which does at least allow for remote meeting, still is certainly no solution, and not only because of the potential costs incurred by marketer and target market alike. Where teleconferences also fail is in suffering an irreconcilable absence of any visual component.

And while web conferencing precludes travel costs, using PowerPoint presentations in conjunction with web conferencing precludes travel, materials (think of the savings on photocopying alone), and physical labor costs. Instead of lugging around a heavy easel, projector, screen, transparencies, and other supporting materials to all of those in-person meetings, they can instead plug their entire marketing message into a clean, compelling, and classy PowerPoint presentation they can take conference members through remotely, any time of day or night. PowerPoint presentations can help you deliver your message with maximum effectiveness for a minimum of costs no matter what type of “gathering of minds” you are coordinating-whether business meetings or seminars, product unveilings or creative collaborations, PowerPoint presentations can replace many expensive and unwieldy, more “traditional” methods of delivering your marketing message. And web conferencing is the ideal medium for their delivery.

Another cost-savings that both web conferencing and PowerPoint presentations provide is in mailing/shipping expenses. Whether you’re sending out direct mailings to masses of people or individual marketing packages to select VIP prospects , you’re wasting a lot of money unnecessarily when you can offer the same marketing presentation–only live , with you present to guide your prospects every step of the way–by delivering the presentation or pitch as a PowerPoint presentation over live web conferencing. One huge marketing hurdle this helps overcome (beyond just the costs of creating and mailing all those physical marketing materials) is the possibility that prospect won’t even read what you send them, but rather throw it in the trash (or, if they do read it, throw it out after they come across a point that needs more explaining).

So far we’ve explored the money-saving benefits of web conferencing and PowerPoint, individually and in combination. We’ve seen how it saves money on phone bills, travel expenses, and mailing costs. However, web conferencing and PowerPoint, alone and together, also saves time on the very same elements-on phone calls, on travel, and on the creation and distribution of physical marketing materials. Just as we described earlier in this article in regards to money, at no time in history more, perhaps, than during this global economic crisis does the concept that “time is money” have more relevance and meaning either.

The third and, perhaps most valuable, reason successful marketers use PowerPoint presentations and web conferencing together are their combined effect on any marketing campaigns performance. The sheer breadth of ways that you can use web conferencing to improve and enhance your business is staggering: Automated customer support; Live pre-sales contacts; Promoting big sales; Networking in live chat rooms; Recruiting affiliates, employees; Training new affiliates and employees; Community outreach; Courting venture capital.

And all of these functions can be integrated with PowerPoint Presentation to improve and enhance their quality, performance, and effectiveness. In fact, HotConference, provides desktop sharing, which makes presenting PowerPoint presentations (not to mention collaborating long-distance on their creation and development) even easier. HotConference offers the most versatile feature set in web conferencing, with tools like a Whiteboard on which you can write, draw, and erase at will in real time, and a variety of ways to incorporate that into your presentation, with 5 different ‘levels’ of Presentation for you, the moderator, to choose from. Another key feature HotConference provides (one alluded to briefly in this article’s intro) is brand-ability-the ability to brand your HotConference web conferencing interface with your own company name, logo, banner, colors, and other branding elements. And as your PowerPoint presentations are no doubt similarly branded (and if they’re not, they should be), this seamless integration of private label branding with your web conferencing delivery system only magnifies your overall impact.

Add to this them 1-month free trial period and the immense cost-savings over other, more expensive but less feature-rich or user-friendly, web conferencing services. With HotConference you get all the above-mentioned benefits and–as you can only begin to image, we’re sure–a whole lot more.
