Google Search Engine Optimization – Simple Steps To Success For Your Uk Website

December 3rd, 2008

In order to find success online in the UK, google search engine optimization is probably the most criticalTop of page search engine results drive a lot of traffic to a web site. On the web traffic equals greater success.

Website promotion plans, however, aren’t simple for most people. People often skip this all important step because first page placements are just too tough to achieve.

Making Your Plan

This can be approached in two different ways. The first is to learn how to optimise the site yourself. They won’t spend a lot of cash this way. To become good at this will require a great deal of time. And time, after all, is money. The second option is to hire some UK search engine optimization help. These companies or consultants know a lot about SEO and can develop a quality web site promotion plan. They do all the work, and some of them even guarantee first page placements.

SEO for Dummies

Even if you do decide to hire a search engine optimization firm, one that specialises in UK websites, it is a good way to learn at least some basic. Having a basic understanding of how search engines like Google work, how keywords play into that, and the basic strategies that are used will help you in a lot of ways. First, you can begin to implement some of these strategies on your own. Also internet search engine placement will be smoother because you and the hired gun can communicate.

Black Hat vs. White Hat SEO

Bear in mind that there are two basic kinds of SEO – those that include “white hat tactics” and those that include “black hat tactics”. Black hat tactics are shady, while white hat tactics are not. Many firms engage in one or the other. Black hat is more effective but when search engines figure out you’re using those tactics, they’ll black list your site. White hat works best in the end. Make sure you ask if what kinds of tactics your search engine placement firm is using. Or if you are doing the SEO yourself, try to stick with white hat tactics.

Positive Results

Because no other search engine beats Google, nothing beats optimizing your UK website for Google. When you optimize, but the competition doesn’t, you’ll have the traffic. Whether you hire a search engine positioning company or do it yourself, effective optimization will give you the edge.

What Is A Google Android Phone?

December 1st, 2008

by Anna
Android Phone

Google and T-Mobile have teamed up to create a new breed of cell phone.

The T-Mobile G1 is the world’s first Android Phone.

Its known as the T-Mobile G1 Android, the Android Phone, the G1 Phone, or (more informally) the Google Phone.

The G1 Android phone integrates fully with your Google accounts. Here are a few of the features and capabilities of this new cell phone:

  • The Google Android phone allows you to chat and share photos on applications such as Yahoo Messenger, Google, Talk, etc.
  • The Android allows one to run several applications at the same time, on one phone. You can switch between applications, and you can also be notified when something new occurs on one of those applications.
  • An Android phone allows you to browse the Internet just as you would on a normal computer.
  • The Android Phone Allows you to copy URLs and share them with friends via a chat line, using a simple touch-screen interface.

The following Google applications can be accessed and used directly by the Android Phone:

Google Maps
YouTube
Gmail
Contacts
Calendar
IM (Instant Message)

All of these Google applications will be available to you with a single longon - and they will be automatically synchronized with the web. What that means is that any change you make in one of your Google accounts from your phone will also show up the next time you log on from any other computer.

For example, when you are out and about with your phone and you meet a new contact, you might want to save their contact information. All you do is save it into your Google Contacts on your Android phone. That information will be available to you online, in your Gmail account, and in any other applicable Google account, accessible by any computer in the world.

Any information you save on your phone in this way will appear on your computer as well - and vice versa.

If you lose or break your phone, your data will still be there waiting for you on your Google account, which you can access from anywhere in the world. And there is no need to worry about your information being stolen, as its password-protected.

Here is another example of the a use of a Google Android phone. Once you have a contact address saved into your Google account, you can easily find that location on a map - using Google Maps, of course. And what’s more, you can access street level events in any area where this is available.

This makes it a breeze to get directions to a new location! Simply find your contact on a a map with a couple of clicks, and use a street-level view to find your way if needed!

Another example of the use of the Android phone is the integration of the cell phone with your Google Calender. Any event you save on your Google calender will be available to you on your phone, wherever you are. So you can access your schedule easily, on the go and from anywhere, as long as you have your phone with you.

No more schedule books! And you can probably say goodbye to those tiny notebooks and pads of paper you carry around to save your information.

What’s more, once you save information on your Google Android phone, there’s no need to transfer it over after you get home. Its all there, safely stored on your Google account, for ready access whenever you need it.

You can find out more information about this phone at What is a Google Android Phone? and Google Mobile Products on the T-Mobile G1 Android Phone.

Blog revamp

November 24th, 2008

I have not written any personal entry for this blog for long time now as I have been busy with my internship and maintaining my other personal blog on my spare time.

Jammed: Full into Capacity has been online for over three years now, have gone through changes similar to what happens to a usual blog - topic and layout changes, no-post-for-weeks stages, traffic drops (as reflected on my dropping Alexa rank) and the worst thing is disappearing from the top spots of Google SERPs.  I am still figuring out until now which of the Google’s guidelines have I violated.

Since the drop in traffic, my Adsense earnings have dropped to over 50%.  This was expected because most of my traffic comes from Google searches, with about 40% or more from Yahoo! searches.

During these past days, these visits from Yahoo! searches are still giving me Adsense income.  So after over a month of blog vacation (the previous posts have been powered by Syndicate Kahuna, an auto-syndicator), I have decided to increase pageviews through Yahoo! searches.  To do it, I have to regularly post interesting topics or potentially searched topics that could drive traffic to this blog.

So I am on a mission now:

- increase my visitors coming from Yahoo!

- target potential visitors from other search engines like MSN, AskJeeves, and Altavista.

- increase my Alexa rank.

- keep my loyal visitors and subscribers.

Spice up your Gmail with Different Themes

November 20th, 2008

Google is starting out to roll the new feature that lets Gmail users choose the look and layout of there Gmail dashboard.  Personally, I think the new feature is very timely because the default theme of Gmail looks plain and boring to me.

Users can choose from different layouts, whatever suits their personality, taste and mood.  The Gmail themes come in two sets: the plain ones and the artistic ones with creative backgrounds, images, and icons.

Ashish Mohta at TechnoSpot is lucky enough to experience this new feature first ahead of others and is already seeing the new themes.

To view if you already have this new feature, you can access Settings, then next to the Labs tab is the Themes tab which can let you choose the different themes.  With this new feature, I am sure lots of customized themes will be coming out later.

Choose from different types of Gmail themes.
