Awesome Social Media Optimization (SMO) Tips for Webmasters


With more and more consumers logging onto networking websites like Facebook and Twitter, The need for incorporating social media tools into a website and marketing strategies is becoming highly important for webmasters and companies alike. But every now and then I meet someone who asks me “Hey how do I use these social media optimization tools correctly?”

That is when a thought struck my mind saying “Hey that could a good subject to write on”. So, I thought that in this post I will cover how to bring the power of social media to your website and also how you can maximize the effectiveness of your site’s social media features.
# It’s time to bring in the twitter birdy
Twitter is the friendly birdy next door, and it can help you tell your visitors that your website is alive and kicking. Therefore, it is a good idea to add in a twitter stream to your website, because it will make your website appear fresh, even if you haven’t added anything new to your website.
You might think that just adding a twitter button to your website would be good enough but there is a catch in that. See, if you just add a twitter button to your website, it will mean that every time a visitor clicks on that, he/she will leave your website completely and will be redirected to your twitter account. And the bad part is that they might never return. Yes, it happens.

So, adding your twitter stream is a better alternative as it keeps your visitor on the website and the visitor is not redirected anywhere, simply because your stream is now running live on your website. Also, put in some additional features like the ability to connect to their own accounts directly from your website and re-tweet your posts to their account, and you could ensure optimum user participation and socialmedia optimization. 

#Make your Website Revolve Around Your Brand
Your website is how you will reach your potential customer and it is always a good idea to make your website brand central, and by brand central I mean make your website a concentrated central point for everything that is related to your brand on the World Wide Web. Just like we discussed Twitter above, make sure to incorporate Facebook as well. And if you or your company has posted videos online on video sharing websites like YouTube, then make sure you embed those videos on your website as well.  Basically, bring in everything that you have online to one single centralized hub.  

Showing feeds of conversations that people are having about your company, videos that people have been tagged with your company name, the positive reviews etc. Basically it helps to keep the visitors engaged and also helps you to show the positive feedbacks in real time as well as respond to negative feedbacks fast and more effectively, which is of course very essential as any social media consultant would advise you.

# Don’t Bloat your Website with a Social Media overload
When it comes to social media optimization, it can be very tempting for a webmaster to fall for what I would like to refer to as ‘A social media trap’ and what it means is ‘when a webmaster begins to include even the social media sources that are irrelevant to his website.’

An example of which can be a YouTube video of a low quality uploaded by you and might not be good to share with your visitors. Also, a Twitter account associated with the website which has not been updated in ages is not good to be featured in the Twitter stream that we discussed earlier. So, my advice would be to only include the most relevant social media streams and content on your website.

But that’s just me. I mean there are tons of other methods that can be implemented and suggested by any other social media analyst like myself, but these are just a few of them that I thought would prove beneficial for anyone looking forward to bringing in the power of social media onto their websites.

If you have any suggestions or questions, I would be more than happy to hear them. Please leave a comment for me below and I will surely get back to you amigos.

Stay Blessed!

Tips for Website Designing That is Tailored for the Market


No matter what your targeted niche is, it is very important for you to ensure that you have a website that is tailored for the real world market. I have been providing website designing services for a very long time and have worked with many bigshot clients on some really prestigious projects.

I have seen a lot of websites online, where people have invested a lot of money but the website didn’t pay off. And what’s the use of having a fancy, high-cost website, if it is not helping you sell stuff or market your services.
Today i will discuss some key points with you on how you can ensure an effective web design and provide optimum benefits from your web designing services…

#Perform an Industry Analysis
I believe that the key to creating websites that are tailored for the market is to perform an effective analysis of the industry that you are targeting with your website. The concept of the website design should be according to the dynamics of that particular industry as no two buyers are the same. Remember, a theme that works for a company that makes pens, might not work for a company that makes cars or airplanes.

# Going through a competitors website
I personally always prefer to go through my client’s competitors websites, when i am about to start working on a design for them. Trust me, it will not only help you to understand the industry better but also the design aesthetics that industry follows. You can take my word for it, if you make it a habit then it will boost your web designing skills and overtime it will become easier for you to decide on a design for any industry.

# Go Through the Demographics of the Targeted Market
I have always made sure that I design websites which complement the targeted demographics of a particular client. If you are a designer and want to bag some great web designing projects, then you have to make sure that you meet this criterion. See it’s quite simple, for e.g. if you have been assigned to design a website that is about kids bicycles and you have designed a website that looks mature and seems to be targeting older people, then it will become a very bad example of website designing on your part. So ensure that you are closely following the demographics during the design phase.

# Testing your Design
It is the most important stage of website designing; you need to make sure that your creation is fit to go live. And in order to do that, you need to first test your concept on an experimental basis. A good way to do that is to include volunteers from the age group that your website is targeting and get their reaction on the design that you have created.

Good reviews will mean you are good to go, whereas negative reviews will mean you have to rework on some of the aspects of your website. Trust me; it might be time consuming but every great website designer knows that it will help them build credibility in the market in the long run.

You can ask any web designer or if you know someone from a web designing company, then you can personally go and see how those guys work. Believe me, it is not just me, but any experienced web designer will advise you on doing the same what we have discussed so far.

Please feel free to share your thoughts and views with me, and if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line folks!

Tips for Aspiring Bloggers to Optimize a Blog for SEO

Being an avid blogger myself for a couple of years now, I have never underestimated the power of search engine optimization to get my blogs to rank high on the search engines. Since i am a guest blogger for many companies, I make sure, that i incorporate a whole lot of keywords into my blog posts and help drive in traffic to the company blog that I am writing for. After all, that is what professional bloggers writing for different companies, targeting different niches do…

Well, today I will lay out the importance of writing seo friendly blog posts for anyone who aspires to be a professional blogger. See, professional blogging is a competitive field and unless you are blogging for yourself, you need to incorporate keywords into your posts and also need to know exactly why writing seo friendly blog post is so important in the first place.

Everything apart, let me lay out some points that I have learnt over the years…


# Companies Blog solely to generate traffic
When I started blogging, i made a major mistake of ignoring seo keywords and wrote what my heart felt. On a typical day it would have been great isn’t it?? After all, blogging is all about being expressive…

The only problem was, on that particular day, i was working on my first blogging assignment for a major footwear brand. Not such a good idea now, is it? And of course I was criticized for being an amateurish everyday blogger and blah blah blah!

As I had just started on the path of professional blogging and didn’t have a clue about the importance of search engine optimization, i walked out of there and went to meet my friend, who had been blogging professionally since a year then, and that is when I learnt the most important lesson…

“Companies blog solely to generate traffic” and that’s the bottom-line. So every aspiring blogger who wants to blog professionally needs to know how to incorporate seo friendly keywords into their blog posts, and at the same time, the post needs to be engaging enough for the reader. Companies need to generate traffic and a blog does that for them much better than their static website and helps them speak to their target audience in a casual and friendly manner.

# The keyword density needs to be kept in mind
One major factor that a professional blogger needs to keep in mind every time he is writing a blog for some company is to ensure adequate density of keywords for search engine optimization to function properly. Too many keywords and the blog would be spammed by search engines and too less would render it invisible on the search engine rankings.

So, you have to make sure that you are incorporating keywords in just the right amounts, for any online marketing company to help optimize that blog post that you have just written. So, start practicing this keyword density thing right now, and with practice and time you will know exactly when, where and how many times you need to use the keywords assigned to you by the company you are writing for.

The competition is stiff and with thousands of people aspiring to become a professional blogger, what you do and what you don’t is going to set you apart from the rest. Please do share your views with me and let me know if you have any questions… Take care!

How Online Reputation Management (ORM) Services Help You?

As a blogger and an active participant on every known location on the internet, there was a time when every time I used to hit up the World Wide Web, I used to find some nasty comment or forum where I had been bombarded with negative comments. And that’s just me; imagine if I were running a company and such negative comments and reviews for my company had been making the rounds of the internet. After all online reputation management services were only a dream back then.

If it were a few years back, there would have been nothing I could have done about it and had wished and prayed to god saying “Please god do something, so the people ignore these comments” but I always knew nobody would have ignored it anyway. And we all know how disastrous a negative comment can prove for a company.




But thankfully, today you can do what I couldn’t do back then. Yes, finally you can get rid of all those negative comments about yourself on the internet, and start with a clean slate. All you have to is leave your worries to an online reputation management company and you can put all your worries to rest.

  • Removing all the negative comments about you on the internet
  • Managing socialmedia pages and keeping your customers and blog/website visitors connected about the latest news about you and your company.

Why You Need Social Media Marketing?


I am sure you must have heard the term social media marketing or social media optimization on previous occasions too. And also the fact that smo has been creating ripples across the web for many years now. I personally was skeptical about this whole trend up till two years back and was only concerned about getting my blog, Search engine optimized.

Until i saw one of my friend’s blog getting far more views per month and a readership that was far greater than what i had for my blog. I was really surprised at the whole thing, since my friend had just started writing a food blog a few months back, and I had been writing a travel blog for almost a year back then.
And it was only because I had absolutely ignored the social media marketing aspect and had only concentrated on the search engine optimization part all along. But now it is a different story altogether, because now my travel blog has a whole lot of readership and has the loyal following that i had always craved for. Smo services are absolutely necessary in tandem with seo services both have different functionalities altogether.

Let me break it up for you…. Social media marketing helps you by

# By targeting visitors even when they are not searching through search engines
I guess you must have paid attention to the tiny thumbnail like ads, when you use Facebook, YouTube or any other open platform. Yup, that my friend is a direct result of social media marketing, it’s quite obvious that we all know that people do click on them, and land up on the official website or Facebook page of that particular individual or website that is being promoted. And it happens when people are not actively searching through search engines like Google, Yahoo or Bing.

I know that a lot of people who are novices, have this notion that what if the money that they are spending on smo services end up being wasted on displaying ads to individuals who might  not actually be interested. Well the answer to that is simple…

# Check your Facebook
You definitely must have seen the ads that show up on your profile for e.g. ‘eminem’ (and you happen to be a fan), ‘Harley Davidson’ (you love cruisers). See the pattern; the only ads that show up on your profile are those in which you are genuinely interested.

See Facebook is an open platform and recently it has become the favorite for companies that deal with smo services. Sure Facebook does not sell your personal information to advertisers but when you sign up for an account and even after that you keep updating your interests from time to time.

And that is how smo works, a social media marketing company is clever enough to make use of every single penny that you spent to target the audience that can benefit your company, based on their interests and demographics. Further a social media marketing company helps you by… 

# keeping lines of communication open between your company and your customers
Your customers and website visitors want to speak to you and a Social media marketing company gives them the chance to talk to you by maintaining Facebook pages, twitter accounts and periodic newsletters that they might send to your customers and subscribers.

Basically they make sure that the power of an open platform is used to its optimum efficiency and people can let you know what they like and what they hate. And also the suggestions that might want to give.

Social media optimization gives you an opportunity to talk to your customers/subscribers. And make sure that you appear concerned about the needs and worries of your existing as well as potential customers/subscribers. This way you can build up market reputation faster and more effectively.

Smo services are not a new thing really, and it is as of right now being used by corporates and even political leaders and celebrities are using it. If you have any questions regarding smo or there is any other sort of confusion in your mind, then just leave me a comment and I will get back to you guys.

How to create a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) friendly post?

Every now and then my readers have asked me about how to write blog posts and articles for their websites that are search engine optimization friendly, but also interesting to read. You must have seen a lot of articles and blog posts on the net that are optimized keeping seo services in mind, but seldom make for an interesting read, as the writer is more focused on the seo friendly aspect more than the readership aspect.
There are a lot of things a blogger needs to keep in his mind to make sure that his readers don’t suffer as a direct result of making the post seo compatible. Because at the end of the day it doesn't really matter if your blog or website is ranking high on the search engines if it doesn't have a decent readership.

A few tips that I can give you to make sure that your blog is SEO friendly as well as makes sense for the readers are…
  • Ensure that you write in simple and effective words incorporating keywords where they make sense.
  • Don’t just focus on keywords alone as including a whole lot of keywords will lead to your article or blog post being spammed by Google.
  • While incorporating keywords into your blog or website make sure that you break your keywords to ensure an effective Search engine optimization friendly article.
  • If you think you are not an effective writer in terms of seo, then the best solution would be to hire an online marketing company that can take care of making your posts optimized for search engines.
  • Hiring an SEO company can also ensure that you have a dominating online presence and it can also help you reach your users faster and more effectively.

Well I think that the above points can help anyone maintain a top of the line blog which is search engine optimization as well as reader friendly. The basic point that I would like you people to know is that “we must always ensure that we maintain a balance when it comes to search engine optimization as well as readership”.

Just keep in mind that most of the commercially successful blogs or websites on the World Wide Web are most likely to be backed up by a competent online marketing company taking care of their search engine optimization needs. So, it is very likely that somewhere down the line, you will eventually need to hire an SEO company, if you ever decide to benefit from monetizing your blog or website.

Since, without proper online marketing handled by a competent company, you can never actually reap the full benefits of monetizing your blog or website.  Hence, it will become absolutely imperative at some point of time to hire quality seo services.

If you have any questions regarding search engine optimization or which seo company to hire in India, just leave a comment below and I will be glad to reply back to your queries related to search engine optimization.

Choosing a Web Designing Company

People are often confused when looking for a web designing company to take care of the designing aspects of their website. I mean obviously, even if someone doesn’t actually want an e-commerce website but just a personal website where they can show off their special set of skills, it has to be visually appealing right?

Well, this is where most of us end up being confused as to how to make sure that the company that you decide to hire for your specific needs would be able to provide you with the best overall website designing services for your website.



There are a few certain key points that I would recommend you, in case you are confused like I was a few years back when I decided to get my very own website…

# Custom web designing
It is always a good idea to ensure that you opt-in for a website designing company that addresses your specific requirements. See the thing is that we all have different needs and requirements when it comes to getting a website designed. Remember, when I talked about getting a website just to show off certain skills?  Well, that’s exactly the deciding factor, since if you want to get a website strictly for E-commerce, then the personal thing won’t work for you and vice versa. So it is very important that you choose a company with a strong background in providing custom web designing services.

Since, hiring a company with a strong background in providing web designing services would prove to be a very good investment in the long run because your website will get your word across the World Wide Web.

# Check whether the company has a strong portfolio

When I was seeking out a web designing company to get my personal website designed, this was one of the most important factors, and then again, trust me, it is not really that difficult to check whether a company has a strong portfolio or not.

Every web designing company these days put up screenshots of the websites that have been designed by them. So, you can always check up on that, on the contrary you don’t even need to look at the portfolio. Just a look at the website designing company’s website will give you a pretty good idea how proficient they are in providing web designing services.

How?? Well just check these aspects of designing on a company’s website that is providing web designing services…

·         Is their website easy to navigate??
·         Is there sufficient space for the content to be posted??
·         Does the website follow design aesthetics properly??
·         Does the website look good on older computer screens as well??

See what I mean? Choosing web designing services isn’t rocket science, all you need to do is ensure a few key points and you are good to go. So, I hope that you had fun reading my post and I proved to be of some help to you guys to choose a company that suits your web designing requirements.

I would love to read and reply back to your comments, so if you have anything to say, or you want to ask me a few more questions regarding web designing, just leave a comment and I will get back to you.

Have a great day guys!

Social Media Personality Disorder – To be or not To be


Being a cyber frenzy professional, I am always sniffing out for some spicy meat out there that I can share and fill my gossip membrane. Ouch, woman you see! So the latest that grabbed my attention, was this online papparazzi talk flick, social media personality disorder. In an instant, from the content, I felt it’s something like a wannabe act, to consolidate some attention from web users or perhaps just an attempt to position oneself deliberately on the web world. 

Eh?

Quite practically, if we go by the straight meaning of multiple personaity disorder, it would signify duality of a persoanlity, or the various facets of a personality. Well, I wouldn’t mind confessing, even I am suffering from this syndrome on and off. Professionally I navigate through different emotions, seamlessly cruising from respect to irreverence, free spirited to straight laced, bold to being naive, and personally I can be dictative and humble in the same breath, or conservative to flamboyant without thinking much. So when I seriously mulled over the subject, I could relate to those who actually practice personality disorder tactics. 

Let me introduce you to one of these anonymous users (identity kept confidential) who has different personalities on various social media platforms for different audience and varied responses. In an attempt to diversify her appeal, she got into creating several social media profiles with random tags and various accounts. All her accounts were a part of her, yet not completely her, gathered at one place. They were different representations of  her on various social media platforms. 

On facebook, she had this profile that shouts out snazzy and a sassy image. Very pink tinge, being a lady, young and vibrant, fun loving and dedicated to stay connected with the world. She maintains this hair let down attitude and manages to accrue some interesting fans too. She plays this diva on Facebook.
Her LinkedIn personality has more of a professional appeal and someone with smarts, skills and an attitude that knows her business well. Her PR and business strategies are well maintained and accurately polished. This helps in leaving an impact on her connections and probable clients as well.
On the other hand, her twitter personality is well updated of the comments, news, trends and latest tweets. 

She is free, confident, talkative, effusive and fearless to live like a cyber nerd or addict. She is a big part of the Web Wide World. She is indeed a success story on the social media platform. 

This convinced me enough that multiple personalities aren’t quite a sin, until they go really messy and spread around filth on the online galaxy. 

However, there are also people who go brutally wrong with managing multiple personality fashion. They are usually the ones who fail to understand why their head spinned of the several profiles that they plunged into making. Eventually they turn out to be worst turn offs on the social web. Some of the social miscreants are those who keep flaunting about even the smallest achievement like they bought a parrot green car just to promote environmental concerns. Or even retweeting compliments. Eww, who does that! Well, may be that’s a great deed for them. Not for us on the other side of the screen. The whiners or the trolls and even the hoarders who wish to retain things to just themselves are biggest fall outs.


Piiiinnng
Oops I just got a ping from the boss, have to get down to performing various roles on these social media sites that I have multiple profiles on. Phew! I wish to go back to days when minds were simpler and there were less chances of crisis. With projects getting complex and demands for acute marketing and online presence, I am here to perform multiple personality rituals for my company as well, intelligently though! No escape, L..

Just a last note for all those who belong to my community, we must understand that social media is a place that demands us to be ourselves to make the most powerful impact. Spreading love, being intelligently peppy, initiating a two way conversation strategy, and socializing can be great tips to avoid being called deviants and create a positive image as desired.
Connect to you later, rushing to handle my personality disorder stint!

1) Start by making sure you have a decent head and shoulders photo of yourself. This should either be a professional shot or a well taken close up – not a holiday picture of you at the beach.
2) Include a paragraph in the summary area describing your key skills and experience, so that viewers of your profile can skim this rather than reading the whole profile if they are short of time.
3) Make sure you then fill in all your experience and past achievements, focusing on any key skills you want to use going forward.

Social Media : Ethics & Guidelines

A few days ago I was sitting and talking to my friend about how few social networking websites such as Twitter and Facebook have become a part of daily routine, in fact few of them said they have scheduled a break time to update status or most of them do it through the phone application, well looking at present can we say that privacy is disappearing and our online identities now being crowd-sourced.

Well according to David Finn(Chairman – Ruder Finn) – while individual use of social media varies from person to person, one thing is clear that there is a great deal of uncertainty about long term implications of the enormous amount of personal information that we’re sharing online.

Agreeing to the above it still goes for individuals who have yet to join a social network, their friends, families and colleagues have already “tagged” them in photos, videos and other online content. So does that means privacy no longer exists for any of u? What about companies, institutions and government agencies?

Now the question is are there any ethical guidelines in social media for keeping is safe while keeping out online identities open for both communication and commerce? Here are few which I think can lay foundation for the guidelines: Relevance, Responsibility, Transparency, Honesty, Respect, Privacy. These hold true for all who use social media be it organisation or an individual

Relevance: Make sure what you are about to post is relevant to the audience and where it’s being posted

Responsibility: Take ownership of all your online activities, the contents/updates posted and any missteps you’ve taken in the past.

Transparency:  Keep the statement clear and precise and show true identity of who you are and who you are representing.

Honesty:  While you are posting state only the facts which you are true.

Respect:  Respect for peers, audience and who all are communicating through media, or working with you or your adversaries is required.

Privacy: Treat all the intimate details of who you are representing and others as you would your own personal information.

As some points to remember:

- Social media is real time, what you post is read instantly by your audience, be it your friends or competitors or clients.
- Although social media is meant to engage and interact with internet users and at no point of time should companies/individual try and control their behaviour.

Even though companies ranging from facebook to twitter have learnt some important lessons about how to apply these ethical guidelines to their own social media pages. At Suntech Online Services we’re creating our own social media policies that will govern our online participation as individuals, as employees and as agents of our clients.

The question is- are you following your own set of ethical guidelines when it comes to engaging social Media? If you have some additional points to share – would love to hear your perspective.
