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 To Market A Service Online

 

Marketing A Service

Marketing a service, unlike marketing a product online is actually much more difficult. The reason? You are essentially marketing yourself; your knowledge, skills, abilities as well as your reliability and dependability. Unfortunately anyone can go and say “I am the god of software and I can do all things software related”, but really have little or no knowledge of software. A service is in fact, invisible. You can talk talk talk all you want, but talk is cheap and anyone can basically say they are good at something, without actually being good at it. It takes a lot to get someone to trust you enough to sell them your service. However, there are things you can do market the service, as well as gain trust from people.

How to Keep Your Website Secure

 

Keep Your Website Secure

People who are newer to the internet or newer to websites and owning one, might not really know how important it is to have a secure website. Not only is it important on your part, but if you have sensitive information of yours or your clients on your website or you have an ecommerce website, it’s important to keep other people’s information safe too. Some of these tasks on this checklist are easy and can quickly be done by you, while others you might need to hire someone to do it for you. Either way, it’s important that you make sure your entire website is buttoned up so that no malicious person, bot, machine or software can gain access to the website.

Heating In The Winter and AC In The Summer – How Seasonal Content Marketing Can Work For You

 

Seasonal Content Marketing

Seasonal Content Marketing might sound like something new to you, but chances are you know exactly what this is! There are two types of seasonal content and they are:

1- Content that is tied to a certain time of the year; summer, winter, fall, spring. There are so many ways to capitalize on these seasons alone, but then there is seasonal content #2

2- Content that is tied to a certain popular holiday such as Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, etc. As well as newer or not-so-popular holiday’s or observance days like National Cheese Day (yes really!), National Donut Day, National Hugging Day and more.

Good Content vs. Bad Content

The word content can mean so many different things, but for the sake of this specific article, let’s refer to content as words that are written for an article, written for blogs, written on social media platforms and anything else you might be publishing online. Content is used for many different reasons, but the most common; to let people know who you are, what you do, what you can do for them and let them know if they should be a part of your business or product or not. Is writing content easy? Heck no. Can it be incredibly beneficial? Yes!

Different Kinds Of Backlinks

 

Backlinks are one of if not the most important things when trying to build links on search engines that lead back to your website. Back links or in the literal sense links back to your website are links that you can create through a variety of avenues to lead people back to your website. Backlinks, as one would assume, can be built all sorts of ways. From something simple like adding a profile on a directory like Yelp to something that takes more time to index like with article marketing. All in all though, the amount of quality and diverse backlinks you have, does matter. Quality = not spamming. Diverse = on various websites with different page ranks and authority types. It used to be that you could just place backlinks everywhere and anywhere and it didn’t matter where or how you got them. But, over the past few years, Google and other engines are cracking down on how you create these links and where they are coming from, because of this, listed below are various sites or rather “ways” to get backlinks.

A Quick Guide To Google’s Pigeon Update

Pigeon Update

 

These days it seems like every other month Google is creating another update with some weird name.The pigeon update was not a name created by Google though; it really didn’t have a name in general, so marketers just decided to call it another animal name like all the others (Penguin, Panda, and the likes). This specific update was done on July 24th of this year and it sure it causing a lot of uproar amongst local SEO marketers. Originally no one really understood or had information on what this update was for or how it would effect people, but over the months more and more people are starting to understand just what this is and what it does.

How to Defend Against Content Stealing

If you have a blog, chances are you work really hard on the content OR you spend money buying it from a writer. If this is the case, I highly doubt you want other people stealing your hard work and putting it on their website. Yet, this happens all the time sadly. It’s such an easy task. You find a site you like that is relevant to yours. You copy the text, paste it into a document and put it on your website. It’s a shame really that stealing content is so easy for people. If you don’t want your content stolen that you worked so hard on or if you have had this happen to you before (which is very disheartening) then there are a few things you can do to try to stop it. I say “try” because you cannot 100% make people stop stealing content. You can try blocking it, you can try a few precautions, you can even copyright the work, but there are still going to be jerky people out there looking for the easy way out.
