<div>“There’ve been several times when I felt like I didn’t really fit in at M.I.T.,” she wrote. “I nearly fell asleep during a Star Wars marathon. It wasn’t a result of sleep deprivation. I was bored out of my mind.”</div><div>-</div><div>Still, in other ways, Ms. Chinea feels right at home at the institute — she loves the anime club, and that her hall has its own wiki Web site and an Internet Relay for real-time messaging. As she wrote on her blog, a hallmate once told her that “M.I.T. is the closest you can get to living in the Internet,” and Ms. Chinea reported, “IT IS SO TRUE. Love. It. So. Much.”</div><div>-</div><div>Dozens of colleges — including Amherst, Bates, Carleton, Colby, Vassar, Wellesley and Yale — are embracing student blogs on their Web sites, seeing them as a powerful marketing tool for high school students, who these days are less interested in official messages and statistics than in first-hand narratives and direct interaction with current students.</div><div>-</div><div>But so far, none of the blogs match the interactivity and creativity of those of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where they are posted prominently on the admissions homepage, along with hundreds of responses from prospective applicants — all unedited.</div><div>-</div><div>Not every admissions office has been so ready to welcome uncensored student writing.<br />
“A lot of people in admissions have not been eager for bloggers, mostly based on fears that we can’t control what people are saying,” said Jess Lord, dean of admissions at Haverford College, which posted student bloggers’ accounts of their summer activities this year, and plans to add bloggers this spring to help admitted students hear about campus life. “We’re learning, slowly, that this is how the world works, especially for high school students.”</div><div>-</div><div>M.I.T.’s bloggers, who are paid $10 an hour for up to four hours a week, offer thoughts on anything that might interest a prospective student. Some offer advice on the application process and the institute’s intense workload; others write about quirkier topics, like warm apple pie topped with bacon and hot caramel sauce, falling down the stairs or trying to set a world record in the game of Mattress Dominos.</div><div>Posting untouched student writing — and comments reacting to that writing — does carry some risks. Boring, sloppily written posts do nothing to burnish an institutional image, college admissions officials say, and there is always the possibility of an inflammatory or wildly negative posting.</div><div>=<br />
-Pomona has considered having student bloggers, but so far has felt that the risks outweigh the benefits, said Art Rodriguez, senior associate dean of admissions.</div><div>“Blogs can certainly help humanize the process,” Mr. Rodriguez said. “The flip side is that a few anxious high school students may think and worry too much about what someone wrote on their blog, and present themselves in a slightly different way than who they really are. And there’s always the concern about the political ramifications, that bloggers may open up an issue or topic that starts something negative.”</div><div>-</div><div>But Mr. Lord of Haverford said prospective students’ interest in the summer bloggers calmed his worries.</div><div>“High school students read the blogs, and they come in and say ‘I can’t believe Haverford students get to do such interesting things with their summers,’ ” he said. “There’s no better way for students to learn about a college than from other students.”</div><div>-</div><div>Many high school seniors avidly follow student blogs at the colleges they are interested in, and post comments. Luka, one of dozens responding to Ms. Chinea, for example, wrote: “I didn’t know about the anime club. I would have never guessed that people at M.I.T. are interested in anime. Oh well … +1 on my ‘Why should I go to M.I.T.’ list.”</div><div>M.I.T.’s student bloggers said they had read the blogs when they were applying, posted comments and connected with other applicants.</div><div>-</div><div>“I was blogging myself, almost every day, when I was in high school, and I read the M.I.T. blogs all the time,” said Jess Kim, a senior blogger. “For me they painted a picture of what life would be like here, and that was part of why I wanted to come.”</div><div>Ben Jones, the former director of communications at M.I.T.’s admissions office, began with a single blog by a student five years ago, at the dawn of the Facebook era, and noticed high school students responding right away. “We saw very quickly that prospective students were engaging with each other and building their own community,” said Mr. Jones, who now works at Oberlin College, where he has added blogs to the Web site.</div><div>-</div><div>The M.I.T. student bloggers have different majors, ethnicities, residence halls and, particularly, writing styles. Some post weekly or more; others disappear for months. The bloggers are sought out as celebrities during the annual “Meet the Bloggers” session at Campus Preview Weekend.</div><div>-</div><div>M.I.T. chooses its bloggers through a contest, in which applicants submit samples of their writing. “The annual blogger selection is like the admissions office’s own running of the bulls,” said Dave McOwen, Mr. Jones’s successor in the admissions office, in his message inviting applications.</div><div>-This year, 25 freshmen applied for four new spots, and, Mr. McOwen said, it was hard to choose.</div><div>-<br />
-“You want people who can communicate and who are going to be involved in different parts of campus life,” he said. “You want them to be positive, but it’s not mandatory.”</div><div>-</div><div>And not all posts are positive. Ms. Kim once wrote about how the resident advising system was making it impossible for her to move out of her housing — expressing enough irritation that the housing office requested that the admissions office take her post down. Officials refused, instead having the housing office post a rebuttal of her accusations; eventually, the system was changed.</div><div>-<br />
But most of the blogs are exuberant, lyrical expressions of the joys of M.I.T. life, like last month’s post on returning as a sophomore:</div><div>-</div><div>“Something’s changed,” wrote Chris Mills. “Now you know what you’re in for, you know the sleepless nights and frustrations are never far away, but this knowledge can’t seem to remove the exhilarating smile on your face. And it’s in that masochistic moment that you realize who you are. That this is what you’re made for.<br />

</style><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you want to connect with customers and conduct viral marketing in UK, Ireland and New Zealand, Bebo is the social networking business for you. You can create applications and widgets use your profiles to interact with other members. Bebo allows profiles to be private to anyone but friends as part of their safety net. This might hinder connectivity with potential clients but you are generally safe from hackers. </span></span></div><div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Bebo has over 40 million members among teens and young adults, Internet-savvy users and pop-culture fans—American Idol watchers or Indie-rock bands, etc. This is an excellent site to grow your business in the areas of photo or video sharing online media and event promotions and if you are targeting teenagers or college students. Make it easy for users to identify you by uploading a sufficiently clean and legible logo for the space allowed or something funny, clever or welcoming. Keep in mind, though, as with everything on your profile, it’s meant to represent your business.<br />
<br />
Starr Hall, author of Get Connected: The social networking toolkit for business, says that to grow your business in Bebo, it’s important to have a lot of friends to widen your network. Since friends are visible on your profile, make sure that they are also reflecting the image you want your business to portray. It is like, tell me who your friends are and I will tell you what business you are in. Friends leave comments on your profile, so monitoring this is key to remove inappropriate postings and to respond to maintain relationships with contacts.<br />
<br />
There is a space in this site called “Me, My Life and I,” to tell everyone about your business. It’s good to be simple and direct about your company and what it offers. Also include full contact information and a general overview. To keep your potential clients updated on everything your business is doing, make sure you blog early and often. Adding tips and tricks, extra information, and behind-the-scenes action will enhance the overall experience of your customers.<br />
<br />
Upload pictures of your products, events or even appropriate personal photos to put a face to your business. Upload video clips to your page to share your company vision, mission, products, etc. Add music to your profile when appropriate. Keep your profile as clean and easy to read as possible. Don’t clutter it with distracting gadgets or music. Keep it professional looking. If you want to have personal information, consider having two accounts.<br />
<br />
Joining Bebo is free, so go to </span><a href="http://www.bebo.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial;">www.bebo.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"> now.<br />
<br />
If you are targeting young Hispanic users, as well as users who are located in Central America, join Hi5 for free. Or if you just want to learn and practice the Spanish language, join about 99 million members of this social networking site. With a vast membership base, it’s easy to network and promote your business through its basic offerings. You may upload your company logo, instead of your personal photo in your profile. Enter your company name in the info bar, and your link will be yourbusinessname.hi5.com. If needed, you can use another identifier if your business name is already taken. For your Philippine-based business, try yourbusinessnamePH.hi5.com.<br />
<br />
It is important that you provide valid contact information such as e-mail address, IM screen name, phone number, postal address and web address so potential customers can get in touch with you easily. It is helpful to tell people about your business in an interesting, short and direct fashion. You may join groups or create your own in order to find potential customers who are already interested in your company products and services. In these groups, you can send messages and post-related information.<br />
<br />
Share what’s going on with your company by posting blog updates. Blogs can explain and demonstrate products, announce events, and give behind-the-scenes information. Update your blogs regularly. You may also use videos and photos to allow potential customers to learn more about your company in an exciting and memorable way. You can even set up a channel where your friends can subscribe to make sure they don’t miss the latest videos.

I prefer <a href="http://www.statcounter.com/" target="_blank">Statcounter</a> as there is a choice of visible and invisible counter and it gives me just the statistics I need. I feel Sitemeter is more for giving nice graphs and Google Analytics gives too much statistics, only invisible counter and I think more for those e-Commerce website and those who use AdWord for advertising. </span></h3><div class="post-body entry-content"><br />

Go to <a href="http://www.esnips.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">eSnips</a>. There you can upload your music file and other files like videos, photos and files. Here we will just be discussing music, but videos, etc., should be no different. You can check out this post where I have used eSnips to embed a music player into the post: <a href="http://www.bloggertipsandtricks.com/2007/03/good-music-and-movies.blogspot.com/2007/03/testing-putting-own-music-in-post-using.html" target="_blank">Testing embedding own music in post</a>.<br />
<br />
The best way to go is to first sign up for an account first. Then you can have a folder for your files which you can refer to whenever you need to. If you have your own music file, first upload it. You still can have music if you don't have your own music file. All you have to do is to choose one which is available to the public in eSnip. If you don't have your own music file, or you want one that is available in eSnip, click on fresh from the "DJ Community" and click on a selection. Click "MP3 Widgets" and you will be presented with a page where you can copy the script to add to your blog (see screenshot (click to enlarge):<br />

<br />
The default is to only play the music if a visitor click on the Play button. However, you can make the player play the music automatically the moment the page opens by choosing Yes in the Auto Play drop down menu at the bottom of the preview page (see bottom of the screenshot above). This setting (autoplay) is not favoured by many because of fear of unwanted interruption like when a person is surfing at night and there is a baby sleeping nearby. The person will have to quickly exit the site to stop the music playing. That is why the default is set to "no".<br />
<br />
Update March 16 2007: Got a tip about <a href="http://odeo.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Odeo</a> from Brad of <a href="http://bradlinder.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Brad Linder's Digital Home</a>. I tested embeding a selection into this post <a href="http://good-music-and-movies.blogspot.com/2007/03/testing-embeding-musical-from-odeo.html" target="_blank">Testing embeding musical from Odeo</a>. However, unlike eSnip, they don't give you the option of whether you want autostart or you need the visitor to click the "play" button to play the music. In this case, a visitor will have to click the "play" button to start the music.<br />
<br />
UPDATE 5 November 2007: See <a href="http://blogger-tricks.blogspot.com/2007/11/esnip-music-player-in-sidebar.html">eSnip music player in sidebar</a> for instructions on how to make the eSnip player fit the sidebar <span style="color: red;">(click BACK button to get back to this page)</span>.<br />

<br />
I've found that the Gadget API offers a much better interface to the end-user than HTML/Javascript widgets (although it takes me far longer to create Gadgets than widgets!). While they are a little more difficult to create, I think the end-product is worth the effort:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Gadgets can be added from within the Blogger dashboard (so we don't need to use search engines, or visit the owner's site to install).</li>
<li> Gadgets are easily customized, and can be easily reconfigured after installation</li>
<li>The new API includes the ability to include Blogger post and comment feeds for the blog in which they are installed.</li>
<li>Developers can ensure gadgets blend with the theme in which they are installed using "Skins" parameters.</li>
</ul><span id="fullpost"><br />
<h3>How to install Gadgets in your Blogger blog</h3>Gadgets are as easy to install as Blogger's default widgets. Simply go to Layout>Page Elements in your Blogger dashboard and click the "Add a Gadget" link in the area where you want to install your gadget.<br />
<br />
A pop-up screen like this will appear:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj08LD_EzrAeoB48_AK0_CLIHln70wibS5kDCPl0Vd-7_218kF8mfXPpmckLJ_NRUHWpChnrV7U99SUyWFOX-2X0h98CA55J5cMqaq5NNZz4QF4eOMx_cnnKbvcQmM_Ajj3D90j2fujIu4/s1600-h/gadget-screen.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj08LD_EzrAeoB48_AK0_CLIHln70wibS5kDCPl0Vd-7_218kF8mfXPpmckLJ_NRUHWpChnrV7U99SUyWFOX-2X0h98CA55J5cMqaq5NNZz4QF4eOMx_cnnKbvcQmM_Ajj3D90j2fujIu4/s400/gadget-screen.png" /></a></div>From here, you can browse gadgets in the directory, search for gadgets of interest, or add a gadget using the URL where it is hosted.<br />
<br />
Once you have chosen a gadget to add, you should be presented with a configuration screen like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivCxXRmNeanNkZdf-2VUCxvntRSfrKolcnyzNR_fqAYA2-W2FaDKKkhEXqlDNK9hKAzZmTr-Uw1z57naJdfwmJg0rFOycw5xMqRHNwQk0qGPgJWD2JOpTEiqZGTQ0a_OFVWiQMCu8jGjU/s1600-h/configuration-screen.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivCxXRmNeanNkZdf-2VUCxvntRSfrKolcnyzNR_fqAYA2-W2FaDKKkhEXqlDNK9hKAzZmTr-Uw1z57naJdfwmJg0rFOycw5xMqRHNwQk0qGPgJWD2JOpTEiqZGTQ0a_OFVWiQMCu8jGjU/s400/configuration-screen.png" /></a></div>There will be different options here, depending on the gadget you have chosen to install. This example shows the configuration options for my Twitter Updates gadget.<br />
<br />
At the very least, you should be able to alter the title of the gadget, however most gadgets have other configuration options available. A preview of how the gadget will look in your blog will appear below these options (do bear in mind that the width of the gadget may be wider when displayed in your blog if the area in which it is added has larger dimensions than the preview screen).<br />
<br />
Once you've changed any settings, be sure to click the "Update" link in order to see the changes appear before you save. The gadget will then appear in your blog, and it's position can be changed in the Page Elements section of your dashboard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>Blogger's Featured Gadgets</h3>The Blogger team have created The Featured Gadgets blog which details gadgets of particular interest. Some of these gadgets are also included in the Featured Gadgets section of the Gadget directory (available when you choose to add a new gadget through your dashboard).<br />
<br />
I'm thrilled to find four of my own gadgets are "featured": Recent Posts, Recent Comments, Picasa Photostream and Twitter Updates, and look forward to seeing the efforts of other Blogger developers in the future. http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2009/07/new-gadgets-for-blogger.html</span>fanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06980367652867322283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966157216905211842.post-42236801438950906972009-10-14T00:10:00.000-07:002009-10-14T00:10:15.608-07:00Wordpress or Blogger? which one is better and why?<div class="content">Blogger Pros:<br />
<br />
* Free hosting<br />
* Drag and drop gadgets (widgets) around easily<br />
* Owned by Google<br />
* Easy to setup in 5 minutes<br />
* Easy for a "newbie" to understand how to use<br />
* You can place ads on your blog to monetize it (make money)<br />
* You can add a custom domain without paying for hosting<br />
* Free access to edit the HTML and CSS if you want to<br />
* Images are hosted for free with no limits (that I see)<br />
* Let's you export your blog for backup on your computer (posts)<br />
* Let's you backup your template<br />
* Creates a free archive daily, weekly, or monthly<br />
<br />
Blogger Cons:<br />
<br />
* Limited gadgets (widgets)<br />
* Limited features (like WordPress plug-ins)<br />
* Requires knowledge of HTML to add certain features<br />
* Cannot create "real" static pages<br />
* Limited templates available for free<br />
<br />
Now that I gave you this list let me explain a bit more.<br />
<br />
Pros:<br />
<br />
Blogger is owned by Google so getting on the search engines seem to be easier. I had a couple of Blogger blogs appear on page 1 of the search engine results for my topic in 3 days using a free Blogger blog domain name (.blogspot.com). Hosting is always free even if you own a custom domain. Google allows you to monetize (make money) with your blog by adding Google Adsense ads and other ads. It takes approximately 5 minutes to set up a Blogger blog using one of their standard templates and even a person who is new to blogging can understand how to create a post within a few minutes. You can create gadgets (sometimes called widgets) easily and if you get "tired" of where they appear on the blog you just click and drag them to a new location. You cannot create a real static page using Blogger. I have, however, found a work around that makes posts look static and have gadgets appear only on the homepage.<br />
<br />
Cons:<br />
<br />
There are limited free, professional templates available for Blogger because more designers seem to be making templates for WordPress blogs. There are limited gadgets (widgets) available unlike WordPress which let's you install plug-ins that give you more options. The limited features I am talking about would be the plug-ins that WordPress offers such as the All-in-One SEO package, printing a page option, threaded comments, and more. These things are possible with Blogger but you would need extensive HTML knowledge to create them or at least feel comfortable "tweaking" the HTML code.<br />
<br />
WordPress Blogging Platform<br />
<br />
WordPress.org Pros:<br />
<br />
This list would also include many of the Wordpress.com Pro features since it is the same system.<br />
<br />
* Free WordPress platform software<br />
* You can create static pages like on a website<br />
* Free Professional templates available all over the Internet to download and upload through your Dashboard<br />
* Thousands of free plug-ins available<br />
* You can tweak HTML and CSS<br />
<br />
WordPress.org Cons:<br />
<br />
* You must pay for hosting<br />
* You must keep your own backup<br />
* You must figure out how to install the software on your host<br />
* You must manually download and install all upgrades yourself<br />
<br />
Now that I gave you this list let me explain a bit more.<br />
<br />
Pros:<br />
<br />
WordPress.com gives you a free blog and a wordpress.com domain address and also hosts your blog for free. It does provide some good quality templates and the ability to add widgets like link lists, HTML code, etc. There is a lot of help available on their website and WordPress has more professional-looking templates than Blogger. You can use thread comments which let's the owner of the blog reply to a comment and it stays with that particular comment instead of just showing in the list of comments. The new version is much easier to use than just several months ago. Upgrades are automatically installed for you and they backup your site. You get a certain amount of storage so you can upload pictures and videos for free until you reach that limit. The WordPress dashboard is sleek and modern looking.<br />
<br />
Cons:<br />
<br />
With WordPress.com (free version) you are limited to the templates available in the gallery. Although there are many professional WordPress templates available on the web you cannot use them unless you use the WordPress.org site and download the software on your own hosting account (that you pay for) and install it. Unless your host provides help this can be extremely challenging and not suggested for a newbie blogger. You also have to manually install all of the upgrades that WordPress comes out with. You cannot use the free plug-ins on the free WordPress.com site and you cannot add javascript or monetize your free blog. If you cannot add javascript then some things like adding a Twitter widget or a photo gallery widget will also not work. You cannot tweak the HTML code on the free site but you can if you pay for hosting and download the software.</div><h3 class="reference">Source(s):</h3><div class="reference"><a href="http://www.businessbloggingguide.com/2009/01/blogger-vs-wordpress.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.businessbloggingguide.com/200…</a></div><div class="reference">http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091011013811AAv9ZFi</div>fanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06980367652867322283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966157216905211842.post-73776513891168235962009-10-13T22:42:00.001-07:002009-10-13T22:42:35.505-07:00A Quick SEO Tool Search Engine Optimization<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Search Engine Optimization does take a lot of time (well, if not being done right from the beginning), and the way you optimize your blog/website also changes with time. But certain SEO techniques are quite constant (at least till now). So if you want to get some traffic from the search engine giants like Google, Yahooand MSN Live, then you must consider and optimize certain features in your blog, these include (but of course not limited to):Optimizing the meta-data, optimizing the images used in your blog,domain registration, getting indexed in Google through sitemaps,adding your posts/articles to social networking sites, etc.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
If you want to check your blog's present status with respect to these parameters, then you can do this quickly by visiting this website: WebSite Grader.<br />
<br />
<br />
Simply type your blog's url and hit the "Generate Report" button. Within minutes you will get a percentile for your blog (90 percentile means out of 100 blogs you are better than 89 blogs and 10 blog are better than you).<br />
But for you this percentile is NOT important, you should better check for the PINK boxes displayed in your result page.<br />
<br />
Because these PINK boxes show the problems present within your blog. You must correct them and then again submit your blog, and see if your blog improves the percentile score.<br />
<br />
PS: As there are many SEO optimizing tools and web sites available on Internet, no one can guarantee you COMPLETE success, so you must try more than one tool and try to optimize those problems which are being shown by most of those tools. </span><a href="http://bloggerstop.net/2009/03/quick-seo-tool.html"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;">http://bloggerstop.net/2009/03/quick-seo-tool.html</span></a></span></div>fanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06980367652867322283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966157216905211842.post-37939283950029335772009-10-13T22:36:00.001-07:002009-10-13T22:36:22.897-07:00Show Only Titles In Blog Archives With Dates<span style="font-family: Arial;">You would have noticed that, visitors, do click on the monthly archive links [like Oct 2008, Dec 2008, etc. in the Blog Archive], inyour blog. But if you write a lot, like 20-30 posts in a month, then all the posts will open in the archive page and it will take a lot of time to load that page. This can be very annoying for the visitor, and he/she may simply close your blog in the frustration.<br />
So if you want to keep your visitors happy, then you should better NOT display the content BUT only their titles in the archive results page.<br />
<br />
For doing so, follow these steps:<br />
<br />
Log in to Blogger<br />
Go to Layout, and click on "Edit HTML" tab.<br />
Now find (CTRL+F) this code in the template:<br />
<br />
<b:include data="post" name="post"><br />
<br />
And REPLACE that line with this code:<br />
<br />
<!--ARCHIVE-TITLES-STARTS--><br />
<b:if cond="data:blog.homepageUrl !=<br>data:blog.url"><br />
<b:if cond="data:blog.pageType != "item""><br />
<a expr:href="data:post.url" href=""><br />
</a></b:if></b:if></b:include></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a expr:href="data:post.url" href=""><br />
<li></li><br />
<data:post.title></data:post.title></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<b:else><br />
<b:include data="post" name="post"><br />
<br />
<b:else><br />
<b:include data="post" name="post"><br />

Although by usingsocial networkingwebsites like StumbleUpon and Digg, you may get many visitors, but this trafficusually doesn't last long and is mainly focused to any particular page.<br />
<br />
So to get consistent traffic, the best option is always the major search engines like Google, Yahoo! and MSN. And even out of these search engines, the most preferred search engine is of course Google.com<br />
<br />
So if you want to know, exactly which keyword to use, whether to use American English or UK English (as different people use different spellings like colours or colors), visit the link below to get all your answers:<br />
<br />
(The tool helps people to calculate the worth of any word, by it's popularity in the global searches, but you can use it in another way too, that means, you can use those words which are mostly searched for, in your articles and posts.)<br />
<br />
<br />
Google Adwords Tool<br />
<br />
Type the words one-by-one then enter the captcha and click onget keyword ideas <br />
So for the words entered by you, now the results will be displayed, along with similar phrases, and you will see how many people have searched for those phrases in the recent past.<br />
In the Approx search volume(for last month), the numbers displayed tells you the approximate number of search queries matching your keywords that were performed on Google and the search network in the previous calendar month. This number is specific to your targeted country and language as well as your selection from the Match Type drop-down menu.<br />

Another way to get huge traffic, is the utilization of Hot Trends tool, given by Google Labs, which displays the 100 Most searched words in Google by the people of United States.<br />
Google Hot Trends (Although limited to US searches only)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #f2984c; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font: normal normal normal medium/normal 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 29px;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTN9m3mW-8pAi5gZun92Iwr90XdVT6Sxs3XcltPB55Y1ja_ZNmKyrL2WfcrC-uVEramlm5Na5I8rSN3ekDjuBWNfgaprZfbnQriWbxNQ8DEEem8FPviI3Zn8sk0KqlL1CCtYNmzMzIRVGP/s320/Google_Adwords.jpg" style="border-bottom: rgb(255,255,255) 0px; border-left: rgb(255,255,255) 0px; border-right: rgb(255,255,255) 0px; border-top: rgb(255,255,255) 0px; margin: 5px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px;" /></span></span><br />
By having a look at that page, you can see what word is being searched the most in the last 1 or 2 hours, and then quickly find out why, then present the whole story in a more better way so as to attract more people. And as the story behind the keyword spreads more, & so even more number of people will start searching for it.<br />

The above mentioned tool is actually a part of "Google Zeitgeist", which means "the spirit of the times", and Google reveals this spirit through the aggregation of millions of search queries we receive every day. Several tools of Google give insight into global, regional, past and present search trends. These tools are available for you to play with, explore, and learn from. Use them for everything from business research to trivia answers. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><a href="http://bloggerstop.net/2008/12/what-most-people-search-for-which-are.html">http://bloggerstop.net/2008/12/what-most-people-search-for-which-are.html</a></span></span></div>fanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06980367652867322283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966157216905211842.post-45388432544207018012009-10-13T22:27:00.000-07:002009-10-13T22:27:01.908-07:00How To Track Visitors And Optimize Your Website<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29px;"></span><br />

As you might notice this is not good when it comes to <a href="http://widgetsforfree.blogspot.com/2009/01/best-seo-sites-for-increased-traffic.html">SEO</a>. It's important for the name of the post to come before the name of your blog, especially when it comes to google search results. Learn how to <b>make your post title show up first</b> so that you can reel in more traffic from the search engines.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<span id="headliner">Why Change the Titles?</span><br />
It's quite important to have the<b> Post Title + Blog Title </b>arranged accordingly because this is how you would want your blog to be displayed on google's search results. This way more people will click on your link when searching google because the post title is more relevant than your post name.<br />
<b>Example Google Search Results:</b><br />
You are most likely to click on the bottom image when searching google for the keywords "image reflection generator". The reason being is that your mind reads text from <span style="font-weight: bold;">left to right</span>. So it makes sense to have the more important title on the left.<br />

If so, advertising your business is a good way to get more business, and an old, effective way is to advertise your business by placing an entry in the Yellow Pages. But nowadays, how do people search for information? The answer for many people is that they use the Internet and the search engines. And search engines love blogs. There have been many times that I have started a blog and notice hits from search engines in my hit counter statistics not very long after I started the blog. Not only that, quite often, a particular post come up quite high in the search result page, and not infrequently in the first result. <br />
<br />
You should always have a hit counter installed to track visitors to your blog. See <a href="http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?bloggerfordummies.blogspot.com/2006/03/how-do-i-track-visitors-to-my-blog.html" target="_blank" title="open in new window">How to track visitors to your blog</a>. This was written before New Blogger was introduced. It should still work, but it will add a visible counter at the bottom of the page. If you chose an invisible counter, it will make no difference, but if you want the visible counter elsewhere, or want an easier way, for instruction on how to install it for New Blogger by referring to <a href="http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?blogger-tricks.blogspot.com/2006/08/blogger-beta-adding-advertisement-and.html">Adding advertisement, hit counter, etc. to New Blogger blog</a> (click BACK button to get back to this page).<br />

So if you run a business, start a website for the business plus do a blog to draw traffic to your business site.</div><div class="post-body entry-content"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.bloggertipsandtricks.com/2007/05/business-should-ditch-yellow-pages-and.html">http://www.bloggertipsandtricks.com/2007/05/business-should-ditch-yellow-pages-and.html</a></span></div></div>fanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06980367652867322283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966157216905211842.post-24762213800007258632009-09-26T00:37:00.000-07:002009-09-26T00:38:04.061-07:00How To Effectively Market With Video On The Web<div class="post-body"> <div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"> <script type="text/javascript"> digg_url = 'http://www.russelldotcom.com/2009/02/how-to-effectively-market-with-video-on.html'; </script> <script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script><iframe src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.php?u=http%3A//www.russelldotcom.com/2009/02/how-to-effectively-market-with-video-on.html&t=Make%20Money%20Online%20with%20Russell%20Bravo%20/%20Philippines%3A%20Audio-Video%20Streaming" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" height="80" width="52"></iframe> </div> <style>.fullpost{display:none;}</style> <p>Online video publishing has indeed taken the Internet by storm in recent years, making the use of video for marketing, promotion, news and PR online a true key strategic component and a key business differentiator for internet marketers who want to communicate effectively about their product profile and benefits within the shortest possible of time.<br /><br />Internet is full of information and the average attention span of a web user today is measured in seconds. When web users search for their information at a search engine, they will get thousands of search results; when they visit your website, they may only spend a few seconds and little efforts to scan through what you are selling or proposing and decide whether your content, style, look and approach are a good fit for what they were actually looking for. These first few seconds are crucial and if you can delivery clear and targeted message by offering a fast, highly visual way to get their further attention and engage their interest, you have done bingo.<br /><br />Does this mean that you just need to simply put up 10-min video tutorial on your website or just slamming some video contents up on your web pages, you will instantly sell more products or services? If this is your way of marketing with video on the web and hoping to get high conversion rate of traffic-to-sales, you will more toward getting disappointments than good news.<br /><br />In order to make your video to effectively market your products/services online and convey your product/service key traits and characteristics within a very short amount of time in a unique, memorable way. These are a few rules of thumb to follow:<br /><br /><strong>1. Get Your Video Seen</strong><br /><br />If you want your video to be your effective marketing tool, it must be able to see by as many web users as possible. Hence, don't just keep and tight your video inside your web site borders. Let your video content be free and distributed to the majors video sharing websites such as YouTube and Google video so that not only others can watch and talk about it, but they can easily download it, redistribute it, if not even publish it directly on their own sites.<br /><br /><strong>2. Small File & Load Fast</strong><br /><br />Statistics show that average web users spend their time waiting for a page to load is about 7 seconds. Web pages that take longer than 7 seconds to load, their visitors normally are on the verge of clicking away and visit other website. Hence, you need to make sure your video file is small enough, ideally less than 1 megabyte and load almost in real time to keep the interest your visitors. AVI is the most common video format, the file size can easily exist 10 megabytes for a short 2-3 minutes video; hence if you share your video in this format, you most probably will get "click away" from you visitors because of long loading time of your video file. Hence, you must get a video format conversion tool to convert your video to a more internet friendly format such as SWF format.<br /><br /><strong>3. Let Them Know It's A Video, A Short Video</strong><br /><br />If the web users do not know that it is a video, they won't click it and play it; hence your video will get watch. So, you must let the web users know that the "box" is a video; the best way is to make it look like a video / VCR-like by having a play and stop button where the web users can click to play the video and stop it whenever they want to stop it.<br /><br />Let the web users know also this is a short video. No one wants to sit through a 30 minute presentation on the history of your company; be focused on your products/services and deliver your messages preferable within 2 minutes.<br /><br /><strong>In Summary</strong><br /><br />Effectively market with video on the web is not just slamming some video content up on your web pages, it more toward effective video communication through video publishing & sharing on the web.</p> <a href="http://www.russelldotcom.com/2009/02/how-to-effectively-market-with-video-on.html">Click here to continue reading...»</a> <div align="left"><div class="footerfeedbox"> <a href="javascript:(function(){TwitThisPop=window.open(%22http://twitthis.com/twit?url=%22+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+%22&title=%22+((document.title)%20?%20encodeURIComponent(document.title.replace(/^\s*|\s*$/g,%27%27))%20:%20%22%22),%20%22TwitThisPop%22,%20%22width=600,%20height=500,%20location,%20status,%20scrollbars,%20resizable,%20dependent=yes%22);%20setTimeout(%22TwitThisPop.focus()%22,%20100);%20})()"><img alt="TwitThis" src="http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa111/wealthmonster/twit.png" style="border: medium none ;" /></a> <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=MakeMoneyOnlineWithRussellBravo/Philippines" rel="alternate" title="Subscribe to my feed" type="application/rss+xml"> <img alt="" src="http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa111/wealthmonster/subscribe_post-1.jpg" style="border: 0pt none ;" /></a></div></div> </div> <div><script type="text/javascript">addthis_url='http://www.russelldotcom.com/2009/02/how-to-effectively-market-with-video-on.html';

What video file type to use? what are the pros and cons of each file type? These are just some of the questions you should ask yourself before proceeding with video implementation on your webpages.<br /><br />There are three basic video file types on the internet. Mpeg, AVI and <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/">Quicktime</a>. I believe the Quicktime file type is the most popular since a lot of huge entertainment and news sites use it exclusively on their web pages.<br /><br />AVI is the oldest of the three main file types. It is a windows oriented video format but it's not the most popular because of the sound and video compatibility and synchronizing problems. Because the <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/">Quicktime</a> format can be used on either a windows or a macintosh computer, the AVI video file type loses it's popularity every day.<br /><br />The mpeg format is a popular video file type that uses it's high output quality to increase it's popularity over the <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/">Quicktime</a> format. Mpeg is used on video games, cd-roms and other media that require high output quality. One disadvantage of mpeg is that it sacrifices file size to gain in digital quality. The mpeg video files are usually large.<br /><br />Another disadvantage of the mpeg format is that you really need time and sophisticated hardware and software to convert plain video into mpeg. And let's not forget that the mpeg format is not supported by apple and macintosh meaning that if you put mpeg video on your website, those users with macintosh will not be able to see it.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/">Quicktime</a> is by far the most popular video file type developed by apple for macintosh users, but is also compatible with the IBM-compatible machines and the windows operating systems. The hardware and software you need to digitize video into the Quicktime format is very inexpensive, compared to the mpeg format. So its much easier and cheaper to create video and put it on your website using the <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/">Quicktime</a> format.</p> <a href="http://www.russelldotcom.com/2009/02/how-to-put-video-on-your-website-video.html">Click here to continue reading...»</a></div>fanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06980367652867322283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966157216905211842.post-10327747125326397232009-09-26T00:35:00.000-07:002009-09-26T00:39:33.398-07:00Blogs What Good Are They?<style></style><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br /></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">Blogs? what good are they anyway? Well, actually blogs are both fantastic whether you are running a business website or you are simply using blogs for fun. In terms of business, blogs can prove to be a supplemental form of advertisement and you will find them to be a unique device that you can use to keep in contact with your clients. Further, in terms of personal use, blogs are definitely an excellent way to stay in touch with your family and friends, even if they are across the globe. Best of all, blogs can often be established for free and can easily stand on their own, without an existing website to support them.<br /><br />Blogs have become quite popular and more and more blogs are appearing all over the Internet. In fact, the more people realize the great benefits that they can get from using blogs, the more people will be using them. Blogs, not only serve as personal journals, they also serve as business supplements and people love communicating with others by using blogs and allowing others to comment on their postings.<br /><br />Blogs are regularly updated which means that they have fresh content on them all the time. This makes them appealing to visitors and search engines alike. Every new posting means new content on your blog and if you update your blogs daily or weekly you will see them grow rather quickly. With fresh content, you can improve your search engine ranking. Whether you use the blog alone, or you used it to accompany an already existing website, your fresh content can be used to draw more and more traffic to either your blog or your website, or both.<br /><br />Additionally, you can add links to your blogs and start a link exchange campaign. In doing so, you will see your page ranking increase in search engines because SE algorithms frequently focus on the number of links that are pointing to your website. The more external links that recommend your site or blogs, the easier your site or blogs are to find in the big search engines like Google.<br /><br />Blogs can be used to freely advertise your products or services. That’s right, blogs can serve as free web space for you to use to advertisement of your business. Also, blogs are great from providing existing clients with updated information about new products and services you may be offering. Want your clients to share there feelings about your products and services? You can use blogs to receive and share client testimonials. There really is no end to the benefits one can derive from using blogs.<br /><br />What is equally fantastic about blogs is that there are ways that you can create blogs for free. Sites like Blogger, recently purchased by Google, allow you to establish a blog free of charge. Moreover, there are a variety of layouts, fonts, and templates to choose from and Blogger even allows you to post images. Finally, sites like Blogger give you the opportunity to archive your postings so that visits can return to them again and again.<br /><br />Finally, creating blogs can be simple fun for everyone. No matter what one’s age is, Blogging is the new wave in Internet entertainment. Friends can create clubs and use blogs to establish them, friends and family can share photographs and sentiments, and finally, personal expression can be satisfied when creating blogs. In fact, if you have a particular passion, why not share that passion with the world by starting one or more blogs? Communicate with people from all over the world that share the same passions that you do!
