			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you tried looking at how you&#8217;re increasing your mobile conversions of the mobile website? Let us believe a bit about your mobile website. What is it&#8217;s objective?</p>
<p>So, for those who have a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Web">mobile web site</a>, apart from promoting the site and getting more mobile guests, what can you else are you able to do? One of the best things you are able to do is function to <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/increase-conversions-with-a-mobile-friendly-website/">increase mobile conversions</a> on that mobile site. When visitors come to your mobile site, what would you like them to do? What actions do you want them to perform? Would you like them to call you, fill out a type, or buy something? <span id="more-228"></span></p>
<p>With out knowing exactly what your goal or objectives are for you mobile website, it&#8217;ll be extremely tough to improve your conversions on that mobile web site. So, I suggest first defining your goal or objectives for your mobile web site. When the site continues to be up and operating for a whilst (or even a few days, for that matter), you may have some analytics information. Check out your Google Analytics or internet analytics and see exactly where people are going and what they are performing in your mobile website. That might help you define your conversion goals for the mobile website.</p>
<p>You may also already have goals defined for your business, and for the main web site. Would the same goals for conversions be applicable for your mobile web site, also? Maybe. In some businesses they will transfer for your mobile web site.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re still sure whether or not or not you&#8217;ll need to optimize your mobile site&#8217;s conversions, you should evaluate your mobile conversion rates to that of the other web traffic. If conversion prices are much decrease for mobile customers than conventional Web users, a website’s lack of optimization may be costing the web site money. Oftentimes, visitors struggle to find the knowledge they require on websites which are not optimized for their device. Taking the time to optimize your web site for particular visitors&#8211;and creating sure that they reach the meant goal&#8211;will assist.</p>

So, an example of an exact match domain name could be &#8220;books.com&#8221; or &#8220;travel.com&#8221; or even Keyword1Keyword2.com exactly where &#8220;keyword1&#8243; is 1 word and &#8220;keyword2&#8243; is an additional keyword.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is an Exact Match Domain Name? <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/why-exact-match-domain-names-are-good-or-bad-for-seo/">Exact Match Domain Names</a> are just that&#8211;domain names that include an exact match of a keyword or keyword phrase. So, an example of an exact match domain name could be &#8220;books.com&#8221; or &#8220;travel.com&#8221; or even Keyword1Keyword2.com exactly where &#8220;keyword1&#8243; is 1 word and &#8220;keyword2&#8243; is an additional keyword. It is widely known in the Seo business that getting certainly one of these keyword-rch exact match domain names will astronomically improve the probabilities the site will display up on the first web page of the search results for a keyword search that contains those keywords or keyword phrase. Currently, this &#8220;additional ranking benefit&#8221; is only valid for .COM domain names that do not include hyphens. The only other caveat is that the domain name must really be a live website on the same topic as the keyword. Ideally, the home page ought to about the subject from the keyword and it should be &#8220;optimized&#8221; for that keyword phrase. <span id="more-225"></span></p>
<p>Just buying an Exact Match Domain Name is not sufficient. An Exact Match Domain name may be an asset for the search engine optimization efforts. It can really provide you with the unique edge that you might require in order to improve your web site&#8217;s search engine rankings and bring targeted traffic for your website. Definitely for those who have a web site on that domain name, visitors will know what to anticipate once they get there. And it could give you an edge over your rivals. Following all, there&#8217;s just one Exact Match Domain Name for every keyword phrase.</p>
<p>When considering the value of a domain name, and buying a domain name, there are several elements to consider. Similar to real estate, you&#8217;ll wish to obtain a good idea of &#8220;comps&#8221;, what comparable domain names have lately offered for previously. You are able to search the domain name sales using <a href="http://www.dnsaleprice.com/">DNSalePrice.com</a>, which lists domain name costs when that information is available publicly. In some instances, you may even find the domain name you would like if it was offered before.</p>
<p>The value of a domain name, even though really is eventually determined on just how much someone is willing to pay for it, can be &#8220;estimated&#8221;. There are some online tools accessible to determine worth, including <a href="http://www.estibot.com/">Estibot.com</a> and <a href="http://appraise.epik.com">http://appraise.epik.com</a>. Sites that do an automated valuation have a tendency to use a mixture from the amount of searches monthly (if it contains a keyword) and also the average CPC (price per click) for that keyword. The greater the average CPC and the more individuals search for keyword, the greater worth an EMD will have.</p>
<p><strong>Your Present Domain Names and Renewals</strong><br />
What about a domain name that you currently have? How do you realize in the event you should <a href="http://www.billhartzer.com/pages/how-to-know-if-you-should-renew-your-domain-name/">renew your domain name</a> if it&#8217;s an Exact Match Domain Name? Or maybe just contains a keyword phrase? When the domain name is created, meaning that there&#8217;s a reside website on it, and it’s in use, then probably you should renew the domain name. If you have spent any time including unique content on the website, then most likely it is profitable-or may be profitable. There are ways, following all, to monetize just about any website out there-and created websites have value. If you&#8217;re not preparing on continuing with operating on the website, then maybe you should consider selling it to a third party. In any case, when the domain name is created, I would renew the domain name and promote it to a third party.</p>
<p>Another option would be to redirect it to an additional current web site which you own. Nevertheless, keep in mind that they Seo value of an Exact Match Domain Name really only will exist if the domain name features a live web site on it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is really a photo truly worth a thousand words? Nicely, to <a href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a>, an <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/the-standing-dog-instagram-photo-album/">Instagram Photo Album</a> may just be <a href="http://mashable.com/2012/04/09/facebook-instagram-buy/">worth a billion dollars</a>. Yes, that&#8217;s right, Your Instagram pictures are now likely to be a part of Facebook, simply because Facebook just lately bought Instagram.<span id="more-220"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve to admit that personally I&#8217;ve not used Instagram that much, particularly because I do not take a entire lot of pictures with my smartphone. I take pictures, but am not as a lot a photographer during my normal operating hours than I probably should be. And when I am actually not working, I do not make it a habit of carrying a smartphone. It appears like a lot of people besides me really do use Instagram, and for that nine-person employees, I whole heartedly congratulate them on this new acquisition.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s fascinating to note, is that business, now worth a billion dollars in cash and stock, only has 9 employees, who all became millionaires practically overnight using the acquisition by Facebook. Facebook will apparently be building on Instagram’s strengths and features and growing the app independently instead of just trying to integrate every thing into Facebook.</p>
<p>Mashable can also be reporting that &#8220;Facebook plans on maintaining features inside the app that permit pictures to be published on other social networks, and also the capability to have followers and follow people who are not necessarily your Facebook buddies.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, if you&#8217;re into taking pictures and you&#8217;re not an Instagram consumer yet, then you may also get on board with Instagram right now, as it apparently will be a bigger a part of our online social lives than we believe. Especially simply because Instagram has just gone mainstream.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re a internet designer or want to be one, or if you are starting an internet venture that involves text, you then probably understand that way you <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/what-the-font-choosing-the-right-font-for-your-project/">choose fonts</a> is critical towards the success of one&#8217;s venture. It just has to look the right way, and the subtleties of the font which you use is a critical part of the entire design equation.<span id="more-218"></span></p>
<p>There are particular font-related questions that you should inquire yourself that will assist you to figure out which font to make use of for the design. These include questions about whether or not you should use a serif font or perhaps a non-serif font.</p>
<p>Other essential questions such as your general objective for your poject and what precisely are you currently designing are other common questions that may assist you to decide precisely which font to make use of for the venture. </p>
<p>The trick to selecting the right font for your project requires a mixture of company rules and loose intuition. Standing Dog guides you through the procedure.</p>
<p><strong>What precisely is really a font?</strong><br />
In typography, a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font">font</a> is traditionally defined as a quantity of sorts composing a complete character set of a single size and type of a particular typeface. For example, the complete set of all the characters for &#8220;9-point Bulmer&#8221; is called a font, and also the &#8220;10-point Bulmer&#8221; would be an additional separate font, but part of exactly the same font family, whereas &#8220;9-point Bulmer boldface&#8221; could be an additional font inside a various font family of the same typeface. 1 person font character may be referred to as a &#8220;piece of font&#8221; or perhaps a &#8220;piece of type&#8221;.</p>
<p>Font these days is often used synonymously with the term typeface, even though they had obviously understood different meanings prior to the advent of digital typography and desktop publishing.</p>
<p>Different fonts of the exact same typeface might be used within the exact same function for various degrees of readability and emphasis. The excess weight of the specific font will be the thickness from the character outlines relative to their height. There are lots of names utilized to describe the excess weight of a font in its title, differing amongst type foundries and designers, but their relative order is generally fixed, some thing like this:</p>
<p>&#8211; Hairline<br />
&#8211; Thin<br />
&#8211; Ultra-light<br />
&#8211; Extra-light<br />
&#8211; Light<br />
&#8211; Book<br />
&#8211; Normal / regular / roman / plain<br />
&#8211; Medium<br />
&#8211; Demi-bold / semi-bold<br />
&#8211; Bold<br />
&#8211; Extra-bold / extra<br />
&#8211; Heavy<br />
&#8211; Black<br />
&#8211; Extra-black<br />
&#8211; Ultra-black / ultra</p>
<p>The terms normal, regular and plain, occasionally also book, are becoming utilized for the regular excess weight font of the typeface. Where each seem and differ, book is usually lighter than regular, but in some typefaces it&#8217;s bolder.</p>
<p>In many sans-serif and a few serif typefaces, particularly in these with strokes of even thickness the characters of the italic fonts are only slanted, which is often done algorithmically, with out otherwise altering their look. Such oblique fonts aren&#8217;t true italics, because they lack the alter in letter shapes which is part of the definition of an italic.</p>
<p>There are other aspects that will differ among font styles, but much more often they are considered immanent features from the typeface. These include the appear of digits (text figures) and the minuscules, which may be smaller sized versions of the capital letters (small caps) although the script has developed characteristic shapes for them. Some typefaces do not include separate glyphs for the instances in any way, thereby abolishing the bicamerality. Whilst the majority of these use uppercase characters only, some labeled unicase exist which choose either the majuscule or the minuscule glyph at a common height for each characters.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a phrase that is well-liked, and it goes something like &#8220;if you construct it they&#8217;ll come&#8221;. Nicely, that might be additional from the truth when you wish to <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/7-steps-to-gain-more-fans-and-followers-organically/">gain more Facebook fans</a>. It is exactly the same with any other web site. If you construct a great website, as well as when you have an excellent Facebook fan web page or Facebook company page, that doesn&#8217;t mean that all kinds of people will come flocking to your web site or your Facebook web page. You gain Facebook fans by offering individuals some thing, providing some reason to like your internet web page or become a fan.<span id="more-215"></span></p>
<p>The same goes for social media websites like Twitter, also. There needs to be some cause why someone would wish to adhere to you on Twitter. There are particular celebrities that have plenty of Twitter fans just because of who they&#8217;re and what they tweet about. But for the rest of us, the other 99 percent that setup Twitter accounts and only dream of having 1 million followers, or perhaps 1 hundred thousand followers, you need to provide your followers something. Granted, it does not necessarily need to be some monetary gift, payment, or even some type of &#8220;prize&#8221;. But you need to give Twitter customers some reason to adhere to your Twitter account and interact with you on Twitter.</p>
<p>Standing Dog, on their <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/">interactive marketing blog</a>, explains how you can construct your Facebook fans and Twitter followers organically in seven actions. They are seven pretty easy duties that you can perform without a great deal of investment. Lauren Parajon from Standing Dog believes that in the event you adhere to these seven actions you will gain more Facebook fans, and you will acquire much more Twitter followers.</p>
<p>Lauren says that &#8220;You have to construct an audience to cultivate an online community of brand supporters. You have to focus on your current fans to gain new fans. The more frequently your fans interact with your brand, the better chance you have at their buddies seeing it in their newsfeed and deciding to become a fan as well. Every time someone interacts together with your web page, it is totally free marketing for the brand.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, that whole &#8220;If you construct it, they&#8217;ll come&#8221; saying only holds accurate if you redefine the it. It isn’t a Facebook page. It is not a Twitter account or perhaps a YouTube video.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s an audience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you realize that one small, easy-to-fix, weblog setting in WordPress actually has the power to practically kill any and all of your <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/how-one-blog-setting-could-be-hurting-your-blogs-search-engine-optimization/">WordPress Search Engine Optimization</a> efforts of all of your weblog posts? In the event you don&#8217;t setup WordPress correctly, this 1 setting will make all of your Seo efforts go down the drain. Unless of course this is set correctly, you might not even know why your blog poss are not ranking well in Google. Let me explain.<span id="more-213"></span></p>
<p>Whenever you publish a blog post in your WordPress blog, in the event you don&#8217;t have the date and time set properly, the blog publish could be published as if it had been published in the previous (for example, one day ago), when really it is becoming posted/published &#8220;right now&#8221;. Why is this an issue? Google uses the date *YOU SET* on your WordPress blog to figure out when exactly a weblog post was published. And Google uses that date within the actual search outcome listing for the blog post&#8211;as well as component from the &#8220;freshness&#8221; component from the search engine algorithm.</p>
<p>When you have your time zone set incorrectly, you&#8217;ll fairly probably not get any extra Search engine optimization boost from the &#8220;freshness&#8221; of your weblog post. Your weblog post will by no means display up in the direction of the leading of the search results if someone searches for a keyword phrase and sorts the search results by the &#8220;past hour&#8221; or sorted &#8220;by date&#8221;. There is a choice to complete that shown around the left sidebar from the search results, as shown below:</p>
<p>But, what might be more important, is the fact that your new weblog post may not obtain as a lot of an &#8220;SEO boost&#8221; from additional new links, social bookmarks, or social &#8220;sharing&#8221; that occur quickly after a weblog post is published. It&#8217;s been my observation that if a blog post is posted (it is a new URL) and it receives new links, social bookmarks, and social &#8220;shares&#8221; within a certain time period, that new URL starts to achieve traction: and will ultimately rank much better than if it isn&#8217;t promoted. Weblog posts, even if they are published and promoted right after becoming published, won&#8217;t benefit from the extra promotion if the Time Zone setting isn&#8217;t right in WordPress. Why?</p>
<p>If Google thinks the blog publish is &#8220;old&#8221; then it will not advantage in the &#8220;freshness&#8221; from the blog publish. Even though it may actually be new and fresh, Google relies on the date that &#8220;we set&#8221; on our weblog posts, not when they first found the URL. </p>
<p>So, how do you change this? How do you make sure that your WordPress blog posts aren&#8217;t falling victim to this incorrect setting? </p>
<p>1. Log into WordPress (i.e., domain.com/wp-admin/)<br />
two. On the left side, select &#8220;settings&#8221;.<br />
3. Within the middle of the page, look for &#8220;Timezone&#8221;.<br />
4. check your timezone to create sure that the time is right</p>
<p>If everything is right, you then ought to be just fine&#8211;there is absolutely nothing to change. If it is not right, or if the timezone is displaying something different, you then will have Seo issues with every and every weblog post. And if you are doing any weblog post promotion and link developing for your blog posts, you most likely already understand that the timing is essential. Don&#8217;t let your one simple WordPress setting harm all your search engine optimization efforts. Check your timezone setting.</p>
<p>I just have 1 question: Why is Google relying around the date that we set on our personal weblog? Should not Google be relying on the date of once they crawl our new blog post?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, you&#8217;ve most likely heard about this new up and coming social media website known as Pinterest. I chose to write a Pinterest Evaluation to discover precisely what is so Pinteresting about Pinterest. I imply, really: why are so many individuals flocking to Pinterest, an additional social bookmarking site that appears to be obtaining all sorts of attention recently. Here is my <a href="http://www.billhartzer.com/pages/pinterest-review-what-is-so-pinteresting-about-pinterest/">Pinterest review</a>, discussing why Pinterest is so Pitneresting. Here is why you need to get on board and get ahold of an invite. And why Pinning will be the next social bookmarking, and just how you, like a company owner, can drive all sorts of visitors and sales for your web site.<span id="more-211"></span></p>
<p>You may or might not have heard, but there&#8217;s a new social media website called <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>. Unlike other social media sites exactly where the main focus would be to develop a profile, with Pinterest, the emphasis is on “pinning” pictures that interest you for your various pin boards (therefore the name Pinterest). From there, you are able to vote up pinned pictures, or make comments. Obtaining started with Pinterest is easy, but getting in is not quite as easy</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s exactly where it gets fascinating for all those who are performing advertising, and looking to get a new avenue to marketplace your products (for those who have not figured out some suggestions currently). Pinterest also has a Presents category that&#8217;s sectioned off based on cost. Therefore, should you be looking to marketplace a low, or high dollar item, then doing so on Pinterest is really a chance. Please remember that spamming the website will get this function shut down ultimately, so please make use of this function with wisdom, and a few degree of moderation. </p>
<p>Listed here are some ideas of how you can use Pinterest to market your products:</p>
<p>&#8211; Write an post about various products which you provide under a particular cost point (ex: Fantastic Gift Ideas Below $20). Pin the pictures in the post to a pin board inside your Pinterest account, and share them with others.<br />
&#8211; Produce a video teaching somebody how you can do some thing, and share the video on Pinterest. To make this concept even more powerful, you could create an article, or weblog post, and include the video around the weblog publish, after which pin the video in the blog publish for your Pinterest account.<br />
&#8211; Take some funny photos in your region, or neighborhood, and place the URL to your website at the bottom from the image, after which share the image on one of the pin boards.</p>
<p>Do you need a Pinterest Invite? Really feel free to get in touch with me. And do not overlook to adhere to me, you can adhere to me on <a href="http://pinterest.com/bhartzer/">Pinterest as Bhartzer</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PPC managers have struggled for a long time with the inability to track individual sitelink performance in Google AdWords. Cindy Prathoumvanh, on the Standing Dog blog, has solved the problem within Google Analytics. Cindy has discovered how to <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/for-the-love-of-sitelinks/">Track Performance in Google Analytics</a>.<span id="more-208"></span></p>
<p>Google AdWords combines the performance metrics for each set of sitelinks at the campaign level. Therefore, you cannot drill down to each individual sitelink in order to see which sitelink had more clicks, which one converted or which sitelink just needed to be replaced. This is a dilemma all Pay Per Click managers have struggled with for quite some time. </p>
<p>As someone who manages a Google AdWords campaign, I can tell you that we have actually been looking for answers in the wrong place. When Google AdWords would not deliver the data we needed it to, we had to look elsewhere. We found the answers with Google Analytics.</p>
<p>You can use Google Analytics to track performance in Google Analytics. Take a look how Cindy Prathoumvanh solves this problem.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Timeline for Pages on Facebook doesn&#8217;t provide admins the capability to set a default landing tab. Here&#8217;s why we think that&#8217;s a great factor.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</a> recently revealed <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/timeline-for-pages-no-default-landing-tab/">Timeline for Pages</a>, and subsequently removed the Facebook default landing tab. You are able to no longer set a default landing tab. Whilst numerous people who admin Facebook company pages are shocked by this move, or maybe even confused, let&#8217;s discuss why this really is actually a great move by Facebook, and not such a bad thing. <span id="more-205"></span></p>
<p>While you recall, prior to the introduction of Facebook&#8217;s Timeline for Pages function, Facebook business page administrators were in a position to decide on whether they wanted Facebook customers to land on the page’s Facebook wall or certainly one of its numerous customized tabs. Numerous brands, for many many years, relied on the default-tab feature to push non-fans to a Fangate or welcome tab that encouraged them to click the Facebook Like button in order to achieve entry to the Facebook business web page and its fan-only content.</p>
<p>Previously, prior to Timeline for Pages was place into action, Facebook business administrators could choose which tab was shown because the default. And it could vary depending on which content material they wanted the user to determine when they first went towards the Facebook company web page.</p>
<p>When Timeline for Pages was revealed, that all changed. Now there is no Landing Tab default.</p>
<p>Now, as a Facebook business page administrator, simply because you cannot set a contest or other custom app as the default tab doesn&#8217;t imply you cannot immediate each Facebook fans and non Facebook fans to that tab through an ad or perhaps a Facebook icon on your website. Or perhaps a newsletter. Each Facebook app will still have its personal personal unique app URL. If you want your Facebook customers to land around the contest or another customized app, produce the app and make use of the app’s link, not the link towards the page, for the ads. Embed the app’s link within the Facebook icon on your website and in newsletters.</p>
<p>There may be some confusion and additional work so as to make changes for your Facebook company page so as for Facebook Timeline for Pages to convert nicely. But more than the long run, I do think that this was a required change. What do you believe?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Should your business weblog be written in-house or ought to you outsource the creating of one&#8217;s business weblog? While some companies spend additional special attention to their blogs, other people seem to have little to no interest in maintaining it regularly. I favor to make a dedication to your company weblog, and keep it as much as date regularly, rather than allow it to be appear like a ghost town. Both you post frequently or do not have a weblog in any way.</p>
<p>Dave Thomas, from Business.com, wrote a <a href="http://www.billhartzer.com/pages/should-your-company-blog-be-done-at-home-or-outsourced/">blog post about determining to outsource</a> your blog or just creating it in-house utilizing your company&#8217;s workers. <span id="more-203"></span></p>
<p>There are many considerations when determining to outsource your business weblog or not, including: these considerations:</p>
<p>&#8211; Should you choose to go outdoors using the blog, make certain the voice and message sound as if they are coming out of your business and not a PR firm, as having a blog that does not have the tone of one&#8217;s company can backfire on you. While a blog may be tiresome to keep up, sustaining it in-house usually appears to me to be the better option, simply due to the fact your employees know their business better than outsiders do;</p>
<p>&#8211; Those inside your business are your top assets because they should know the ins and outs of the business. Many occasions the blog will probably be handled inside the marketing department, to ensure that is exactly where your efforts should be focused if you would like to maintain the blog in-house. Should you be looking to task that department with other responsibilities, then consider getting the head of the company write it so it provides it much more authority. Lastly, you can appear to go outdoors the company for assistance;</p>
<p>&#8211; What is the message you can be sending to your clients by outsourcing the weblog? Some customers might take it while you do not have enough time for that blog, so maybe you do not have sufficient time for them too. It is important to think ahead how what you do as a company will probably be perceived by the public, that consists of blogging.</p>
<p>&#8211; Going outside the company using the weblog means that you could possess a little much less control more than it. It also implies that you either have faith in the individuals writing and posting it or you wind up having someone in-house review each posting prior to it goes live. By performing the latter, you are probably best off trying to keep it in-house;</p>
