How Do Promoted Pins on Pinterest Work?

Oh Pinterest, how I love thee!  You probably belong to every other social site out there, like Facebook and twitter, but have you ever heard of Pinterest?  I really do enjoy it.  It’s incredibly fun to use, but it can also help you get people to look at your pins which may or may not be relevant to your website or business, it can help get people to your website as well as your social sites, and it could make you some money if you use it right.  If you take a look at most Pinterest profiles, they have the name of the user, a verification checkmark, and probably some small spiel about that person, their website URL and any other pertinent websites like Facebook and twitter.  It’s very easy to use, and as mentioned, fun.  Pinterest is adding new things to not only help consumers and regular users use the website, but they are also trying to make it useful for businesses that use Pinterest as well.  One of the newer options Pinterest has added are called Promoted Pins.  These are fantastic and very useful! If you don’t use Pinterest yet (why aren’t you?!) or you are but you don’t know what Promoted Pins are, continue reading below for a crash course on what they are, how they work, how to set them up and much more!

Facebook Graph Search for Targeted Marketing

 

Facebook Graph Search

If you have a Facebook fan page, you need to be aware that there is so much more available to you, than what you are using currently. The feature you are about to learn about or learn more about, is called Facebook Graph Search and using it could make marketing on Facebook a whole lot easier than before. Ultimately graph search is a way to search through all the people on Facebook using various pieces of criteria. It first started getting released in 2013 and everyone has this feature enabled now on their Facebook if you asked for it. Facebook graph search works so well considering when you have a profile on Facebook you are allowed to enter in all sorts of information. Just take a look at your own profile page. You have likes, music interests, television shows, movies, books and more. Just think about the possibilities that you can use Facebook graph search for! Sign into your personal Facebook and switch over to your fan page: You may or may not have noticed this before. On your personal account, it’s the same old same old. You search for “cooking” and you can see apps and people. But, under your Facebook fan page you search for cooking and you can see a compartmentalized section of Apps, Pages, Groups and People.

How Does Social Media Marketing Work?

Your business minus social media marketing equals … do you hear crickets? In today’s business environment, social media marketing is not just vital; it’s critical. Sure, it takes time and effort to market your business through social media, but that’s true with every marketing campaign ever implemented. The good thing about social media marketing is that it creates a kind of level playing field that never existed before. Think about it. In the past, if you didn’t have a ton of money, brains, connections, a brilliant marketing strategy, and an ingenious product, it was almost impossible to get a business off the ground, let alone experience the kind of success entrepreneurs imagine. But today, with all the online tools, digital marketing strategies, networking, and information available, growing a successful business is no longer just for the privileged few.

The Right To Be Forgotten

If you thought nobody wanted to be forgotten, you might have been correct … in the not-too-distant past. However, since the inception of the Internet and its ‘power through information,’ it appears some people not only desire, but are fighting, to be forgotten, especially when it concerns personal information they no longer want found in search engines. Though unfamiliar to most Americans, the concept of the ‘right to be forgotten’ was established in a 1995 European Union privacy law now being revised to include and expand on this concept. When a man in Spaininsisted that negative information from his past be removed from Google’s search engines, he fought the Internet giant in court and won. Since that time, the law and its components have become one of the most hotly debated legal concepts in history, making ‘the right to be forgotten’ one of the top SEO trends affecting current digital marketing strategies, information retrieval, and even free speech itself.

What is a TLD?

A top level domain, when it comes to the internet, is most easily described as an extension at the end of the web pages name. Websites can have all different kinds of endings including .com, .org, or .net and many others. Originally, .org was for non-profit organizations, .com was for commercial websites, and .net was for networks. The ICANN, or Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, manages  top-level domains. ICANN operates the IANA, or Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, as well. Here is some information about top level domains and how they can affect your company.

Is a .com URL Better than a .org URL?

Domain names
Domain names

There are a variety of domains to choose from when you are picking what you want for your website. They were all originally created with various meanings while, over time, they have lost this specific classification. You can choose between .com, .org, or thousands of other domains to create a website name that is right for you. Here is some information on a few of the domains you can get and some history concerning them.

Some Domain Rules

Before jumping into the domains themselves, here are some important rules you will need to remember. The name can contain any number, letter, dash, or hyphen. Although they can have dashes and hyphens, the domain name may not begin or end with it. The system is not sensitive to a letters case so your site can be written with any combination of uppercase and lowercase.
