The Importance of Hiring a SEO Firm

GoMo – Helping Businesses Go Mobile

Here’s a Google video with no real content but it does have a cartoon-cute way of saying ‘mobile is important’.

Efficient Frontier and Macquarie Capital have released a report which makes the prediction that mobile search will make up 22% of search revenue by the end of 2012. As of right now, there is a suggested pattern that mobile search has and will continue growing 300% each year with no reason in to slow down.

Okay – mobile is important, you understand that and now you’ve got the numbers (and clever graph) above to support that statement.

Well, not surprisingly, Google is taking the initiative to get their hands into

Looking back – Sad View of Search 2011

So 2011 is over and out, and we’re looking forward to another year in search. At the beginning of 2011 Google was a very different place. Search looked different, there was no site preview feature, we were still using Buzz because there was no Google+, and Google had just attempted to buy Groupon for a couple billion dollars before deciding to just create their own version.

For a great overview of search in 2011, Google’s Zeitgeist has compiled several top 10 lists from 2011, the most prominent of which is the fastest growing global search trends of 2011, meant to capture the spirit of 2011 in search form.

The list is as follows:

10. iPad2

9. Steve Jobs

8. The Japanese nuclear powerplant crisis as a result of the tsunami.

7. Adele

6. iPhone 5

5. Battlefield 3

4. Casey Anthony

3. Ryan Dunn

2. Google+

1. Rebecca Black

We’re not sure if this list is supposed to be

This is a guest post by Agatha.

Agatha is a content writer who enjoys blogging and digital scrapbooking. Her current project is about Web Hosting companies and some great offers from them.

====================================================

The CPanel is a control area or account manager offered by web hosting providers.

What exactly is it?

CPanel (short for Control Panel) is really what its name implies – it is a control panel that makes things easier, especially for non-techies and newbies, to manage their website. Its user-friendly panel makes it a very popular service.

It offers simple scripts to enable users to make additions of applications to the domain name easier and more quickly. The common applications used are Drupal and WordPress. CPanel offers options for installing a photo gallery, a forum, Wiki software and many more.

In a nutshell, it makes the process of getting a web site up and running easier, has a start up wizard so that even newbies can do it easily step by step. It supports e-mails and runs many applications automatically so you do not have to set everything up manually.

It also has tutorials explained in length when you need further assistance.

What are its common functions?

  1. It is like an account manager or a dashboard – easy to use and refer to multiple tasks in your domain name.
  2. You can create e-mail accounts associated with the domain name.
  3. It is so easy to access all your files from the host server.
  4. Add sub-programs to your current main program.
  5. Upload files without extra cost.

If you are looking for a reliable host, make sure to read about reviews from actual consumers, like the Hostgator.com Review written by actual users of the service.

Opportunity Knocks in Online Slot Tournaments

Since its inception in the late 1800s, the slot machine has consistently been one of the most popular games at casinos – both for the casino owners and players alike. The casino owners like the fact that they were designed to return only 80-90 percent of the players’ money, while the players enjoy the machine’s accessibility, its entertainment value, and the potential to win BIG. However, more recently, a new trend has emerged: slot tournaments, which allow players to still experience the fun of the game while limiting their expenditure (potentially to zero!).

Online or Offline:

The most basic division in slot tournaments comes from whether it is in a physical casino or online. In a physical casino, after registering for a tournament, you are assigned a specific machine and time to play. Then you are given a set amount of credits to play with and an amount of time to use them. The winner is determined by the person with the highest amount of winnings at the end. Although online slot tournaments are very similar because you don’t need physical slot machines, so more people are generally able to participate.

“Freeroll” or Fee:

Also, online slot tournaments, at least, may be further divided into two categories: “freeroll” tournaments, and fee tournaments. In the second of these, fee tournaments, each player pays a small entry fee upon registration that is pooled and then divided up into the prizes for the winners. These tournaments may either follow the formula described in the previous paragraph, or follow the “Sit’n'Go” method of online poker. In this method there is no specific start time, and instead, the tournament starts when all the seats are filled. This type of tournament is particularly effective online because so many players are able to participate that the fee can be as little as $1 while still maintaining a temptingly large prize.

Unsurprisingly, the “freeroll” tournaments are the most popular because they offer cash prizes. This means that, without risking anything, the participants stand to gain what can often be a great deal of money. However, because freeroll tournaments are such a good deal, they fill up extremely quickly. So, if you want to register for one, it’s best to do so as far in advance as possible.

From all this, it should be clear that, whether you are paying for the tournament or not, online slot tournaments are a fantastic opportunity for slot lovers and free money seekers alike.

Google’s Instant Pages – Analytics Skewer?

A few months ago Google released a feature called Instant Pages in their newest version of their Chrome browser. The idea behind this technology was that Google could predict which page in the search results you would most likely click on and then pre-render or pre-load the page for you. This made it so that when you clicked the link there was no load time, and the page instantly popped up on your browser.

Sounds cool right?! Well, to users it is but to webmasters there’s a big catch to this shiny new toy…skewed analytics results. When Google pre-renders a site it could be mistaken as a conversion by some analytics programs, effectively creating a false positive. Nothing makes us number junkies more upset than someone messing with our stats.

So what does Google have to say about this? They simply state that it’s a possibility. Google analytics has a built in work around to know when a site is getting an actual conversion or just being pre-rendered, so they aren’t worried about it. Simply put – if you want the most accurate results you need to use Google’s analytic software instead of someone else’s. And of course as Chrome takes more of the browser market share, the numbers of false positives will increase.
