			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you tried looking at how you&#8217;re growing your mobile conversions of the mobile web site? Let us believe a little about your mobile website. What&#8217;s it&#8217;s purpose?</p>
<p>So, if you have a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Web">mobile web site</a>, apart from promoting the website and obtaining much more mobile visitors, what are you able to else are you able to do? Among the best issues you are able to do is work to <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/increase-conversions-with-a-mobile-friendly-website/">increase mobile conversions</a> on that mobile site. When visitors come to your mobile site, what do you want them to complete? What actions do you want them to perform? Do you want them to contact you, fill out a form, or buy some thing? <span id="more-121"></span></p>
<p>With out understanding precisely what your objective or objectives are for you personally mobile website, it&#8217;ll be very tough to improve your conversions on that mobile web site. So, I recommend first defining your goal or objectives for your mobile web site. When the site continues to be up and operating for a whilst (or even a couple of days, for that matter), you might have some analytics data. Take a look at your Google Analytics or web analytics and see where individuals are going and what they are performing in your mobile website. That might help you define your conversion goals for your mobile website.</p>
<p>You might also currently have objectives defined for your company, and for the main web site. Would exactly the same objectives for conversions be applicable to your mobile web site, as well? Maybe. In some businesses they will transfer to your mobile web site.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re still sure whether or not or not you need to optimize your mobile site&#8217;s conversions, you need to evaluate your mobile conversion rates to that of the other web traffic. If conversion prices are much lower for mobile customers than conventional Internet customers, a website’s lack of optimization may be costing the website money. Oftentimes, guests struggle to find the information they require on sites which are not optimized for their gadget. Taking the time for you to optimize your website for particular visitors&#8211;and making certain that they attain the intended goal&#8211;will help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is an Exact Match Domain Name? <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/why-exact-match-domain-names-are-good-or-bad-for-seo/">Exact Match Domain Names</a> are just that&#8211;domain names that contain an exact match of the keyword or keyword phrase. So, an example of an exact match domain name could be &#8220;books.com&#8221; or &#8220;travel.com&#8221; or perhaps Keyword1Keyword2.com where &#8220;keyword1&#8243; is one word and &#8220;keyword2&#8243; is an additional keyword. It is widely known within the Search engine optimization business that having certainly one of these keyword-rch exact match domain names will astronomically increase the probabilities the site will show up on the 1st page of the search results for a keyword search that consists of these keywords or keyword phrase. Presently, this &#8220;additional ranking benefit&#8221; is only valid for .COM domain names that don&#8217;t contain hyphens. The only other caveat is that the domain name must really be a live web site on the exact same topic as the keyword. Ideally, the house web page should concerning the topic from the keyword and it ought to be &#8220;optimized&#8221; for that keyword phrase. <span id="more-119"></span></p>
<p>Just purchasing an Exact Match Domain Name is not enough. An Exact Match Domain name may be an asset for the search engine optimization efforts. It could really provide you with the unique edge which you may require to be able to improve your web site&#8217;s search engine rankings and bring targeted visitors to your website. Certainly if you have a website on that domain name, guests will understand what to anticipate when they get there. And it can give you an edge more than your rivals. After all, there is only one Exact Match Domain Name for every keyword phrase.</p>
<p>When considering the worth of the domain name, and buying a domain name, there are several elements to think about. Similar to property, you&#8217;ll want to obtain a good concept of &#8220;comps&#8221;, what comparable domain names have recently offered for previously. You can search the domain name product sales using <a href="http://www.dnsaleprice.com/">DNSalePrice.com</a>, which lists domain name costs when that information is available publicly. In some cases, you may even find the domain name you want if it was sold before.</p>
<p>The value of the domain name, although really is ultimately determined on just how much somebody is willing to pay for it, may be &#8220;estimated&#8221;. There are a few on-line tools available to figure out worth, which includes <a href="http://www.estibot.com/">Estibot.com</a> and <a href="http://appraise.epik.com">http://appraise.epik.com</a>. Sites that do an automated valuation have a tendency to use a mixture of the quantity of searches per month (if it consists of a keyword) and the average CPC (price per click) for that keyword. The higher the typical CPC and the more individuals search for keyword, the greater value an EMD may have.</p>
<p><strong>Your Present Domain Names and Renewals</strong><br />
What about a domain name which you currently have? How do you know in the event you ought to <a href="http://www.billhartzer.com/pages/how-to-know-if-you-should-renew-your-domain-name/">renew your domain name</a> if it&#8217;s an Exact Match Domain Name? Or maybe just contains a keyword phrase? When the domain name is created, meaning that there is a reside website on it, and it’s in use, then probably you need to renew the domain name. For those who have spent any time including distinctive content around the web site, then probably it&#8217;s profitable-or may be profitable. There are methods, following all, to monetize nearly any web site out there-and created websites have value. If you are not planning on continuing with operating around the web site, then perhaps you need to consider promoting it to a third celebration. In any case, when the domain name is developed, I would renew the domain name and promote it to a third party.</p>
<p>An additional choice could be to redirect it to an additional existing website that you personal. However, keep in mind that they Seo worth of an Exact Match Domain Name truly only will exist if the domain name has a reside web site on it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is really a photo truly really worth a thousand words? Well, to <a href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a>, an <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/the-standing-dog-instagram-photo-album/">Instagram Photo Album</a> may just be <a href="http://mashable.com/2012/04/09/facebook-instagram-buy/">worth a billion dollars</a>. Yes, that&#8217;s correct, Your Instagram photos are now going to be a a part of Facebook, because Facebook just recently purchased Instagram.<span id="more-116"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve to admit that personally I&#8217;ve not used Instagram that much, especially because I do not take a whole great deal of photos with my smartphone. I take pictures, but am not as a lot a photographer during my regular operating hours than I probably should be. And when I am really not working, I do not make it a habit of carrying a smartphone. It appears like a great deal of people besides me really do use Instagram, and for that nine-person staff, I entire heartedly congratulate them on this new acquisition.</p>
<p>What is interesting to note, is that business, now worth a billion dollars in cash and stock, only has 9 workers, who all grew to become millionaires virtually overnight with the acquisition by Facebook. Facebook will apparently be building on Instagram’s strengths and features and growing the app independently instead of just attempting to integrate everything into Facebook.</p>
<p>Mashable can also be reporting that &#8220;Facebook plans on maintaining features within the app that permit pictures to become published on other social networks, and also the ability to have followers and adhere to people who aren&#8217;t necessarily your Facebook buddies.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, if you&#8217;re into taking pictures and you are not an Instagram user but, then you might as well get on board with Instagram correct now, as it apparently is going to be a larger part of our online social lives than we believe. Particularly simply because Instagram has just gone mainstream.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a internet designer or wish to be one, or if you are starting an online venture that entails text, you then most likely understand that way you <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/what-the-font-choosing-the-right-font-for-your-project/">choose fonts</a> is critical to the success of one&#8217;s project. It just has to look the right way, and also the subtleties of the font that you use is really a crucial part of the entire style equation.<span id="more-114"></span></p>
<p>You will find particular font-related questions which you should ask yourself that will help you figure out which font to make use of for your style. These consist of concerns about whether or not you need to use a serif font or a non-serif font.</p>
<p>Other important questions like your general goal for the poject and what precisely are you designing are other typical questions that may help you decide precisely which font to use for your venture. </p>
<p>The trick to selecting the right font for the project requires a mixture of company guidelines and loose intuition. Standing Dog guides you through the process.</p>
<p><strong>What exactly is really a font?</strong><br />
In typography, a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font">font</a> is traditionally defined like a quantity of sorts composing a total character set of the single size and style of a particular typeface. For example, the total set of all of the characters for &#8220;9-point Bulmer&#8221; is called a font, and the &#8220;10-point Bulmer&#8221; would be another separate font, but a part of the same font family members, whereas &#8220;9-point Bulmer boldface&#8221; would be another font inside a different font family members from the same typeface. One person font character might be known as a &#8220;piece of font&#8221; or perhaps a &#8220;piece of type&#8221;.</p>
<p>Font nowadays is frequently used synonymously with the phrase typeface, even though they had obviously understood various meanings before the advent of digital typography and desktop publishing.</p>
<p>Different fonts from the exact same typeface may be used in the same function for various degrees of readability and emphasis. The excess weight of a specific font is the thickness from the character outlines relative to their height. There are many names utilized to describe the weight of a font in its title, differing amongst kind foundries and designers, but their relative order is usually fixed, something like this:</p>
<p>&#8211; Hairline<br />
&#8211; Thin<br />
&#8211; Ultra-light<br />
&#8211; Extra-light<br />
&#8211; Light<br />
&#8211; Book<br />
&#8211; Normal / regular / roman / plain<br />
&#8211; Medium<br />
&#8211; Demi-bold / semi-bold<br />
&#8211; Bold<br />
&#8211; Extra-bold / extra<br />
&#8211; Heavy<br />
&#8211; Black<br />
&#8211; Extra-black<br />
&#8211; Ultra-black / ultra</p>
<p>The terms regular, regular and plain, sometimes also book, are becoming utilized for your regular excess weight font of a typeface. Exactly where each appear and differ, book is usually lighter than regular, but in some typefaces it is bolder.</p>
<p>In numerous sans-serif and a few serif typefaces, particularly in these with strokes of even thickness the characters of the italic fonts are only slanted, which is frequently done algorithmically, without otherwise changing their look. Such oblique fonts aren&#8217;t accurate italics, because they lack the alter in letter shapes which is a part of the definition of an italic.</p>
<p>You will find other aspects that will differ amongst font styles, but much more frequently these are regarded as immanent features of the typeface. These include the look of digits (text figures) and also the minuscules, which might be smaller versions from the capital letters (small caps) although the script has developed characteristic shapes for them. Some typefaces don&#8217;t include separate glyphs for the instances in any way, thereby abolishing the bicamerality. While the majority of these use uppercase characters only, some labeled unicase exist which choose either the majuscule or the minuscule glyph at a common height for both characters.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a phrase that&#8217;s well-liked, and it goes something like &#8220;if you build it they&#8217;ll come&#8221;. Well, that might be further from the truth whenever you want to <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/7-steps-to-gain-more-fans-and-followers-organically/">gain more Facebook fans</a>. It is the same with any other web site. If you build a great web site, and even when you have a great Facebook fan web page or Facebook business page, that does not imply that all sorts of individuals will come flocking to your website or your Facebook page. You gain Facebook fans by offering individuals some thing, providing some reason to like your internet web page or turn out to be a fan.<span id="more-112"></span></p>
<p>Exactly the same goes for social media web sites like Twitter, also. There has to be some reason why someone would want to follow you on Twitter. You will find certain celebrities which have plenty of Twitter fans just because of who they are and what they tweet about. But for your rest of us, the other 99 % that setup Twitter accounts and only dream of having one million followers, or even 1 hundred thousand followers, you need to provide your followers some thing. Granted, it does not necessarily have to be some monetary present, payment, or even some type of &#8220;prize&#8221;. But you need to give Twitter customers some reason to adhere to your Twitter account and interact with you on Twitter.</p>
<p>Standing Dog, on their <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/">interactive marketing blog</a>, explains how to build your Facebook fans and Twitter followers organically in seven actions. They are seven fairly easy duties which you can carry out with out a lot of investment. Lauren Parajon from Standing Dog believes that in the event you follow these seven steps you will gain more Facebook fans, and also you will gain much more Twitter followers.</p>
<p>Lauren says that &#8220;You need to construct an audience to cultivate an internet neighborhood of brand supporters. You need to concentrate in your existing fans to gain new fans. The much more frequently your fans interact together with your brand, the much better opportunity you&#8217;ve at their buddies seeing it in their newsfeed and determining to become a fan as well. Each time somebody interacts together with your page, it’s totally free advertising for your brand.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, that entire &#8220;If you build it, they&#8217;ll come&#8221; saying only holds accurate if you redefine the it. It isn’t a Facebook page. It isn’t a Twitter account or perhaps a YouTube video.</p>
<p>It is an audience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that 1 little, easy-to-fix, blog setting in WordPress actually has the power to practically kill any and all of your <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/how-one-blog-setting-could-be-hurting-your-blogs-search-engine-optimization/">WordPress Search Engine Optimization</a> efforts of all your weblog posts? In the event you do not setup WordPress correctly, this one setting will make all your Seo efforts go down the drain. Unless this is set correctly, you may not even know why your weblog poss aren&#8217;t ranking nicely in Google. Let me explain.<span id="more-108"></span></p>
<p>Whenever you publish a weblog post on your WordPress weblog, in the event you do not possess the date and time set properly, the weblog post might be published as if it had been published within the previous (for example, one day ago), when truly it is becoming posted/published &#8220;right now&#8221;. Why is this an issue? Google utilizes the date *YOU SET* in your WordPress blog to figure out when exactly a blog post was published. And Google uses that date within the real search result listing for your weblog post&#8211;as nicely as part of the &#8220;freshness&#8221; part of the search engine algorithm.</p>
<p>If you have your time zone set incorrectly, you&#8217;ll quite possibly not get any additional Search engine optimization increase in the &#8220;freshness&#8221; of the weblog publish. Your weblog publish will never display up in the direction of the top from the search results if someone searches for a keyword phrase and sorts the search results from the &#8220;past hour&#8221; or sorted &#8220;by date&#8221;. There&#8217;s an option to do that shown around the left sidebar from the search results, as shown below:</p>
<p>But, what might be much more important, is the fact that your new blog publish may not obtain as much of an &#8220;SEO boost&#8221; from extra new links, social bookmarks, or social &#8220;sharing&#8221; that occur quickly following a weblog post is published. It&#8217;s been my observation that if a weblog publish is posted (it is a new URL) and it receives new links, social bookmarks, and social &#8220;shares&#8221; within a certain period of time, that new URL begins to achieve traction: and will eventually rank much better than if it isn&#8217;t promoted. Weblog posts, even when they are published and promoted right following becoming published, won&#8217;t advantage in the additional promotion if the Time Zone setting is not right in WordPress. Why?</p>
<p>If Google thinks the weblog post is &#8220;old&#8221; then it&#8217;ll not advantage in the &#8220;freshness&#8221; of the blog post. Even though it might in fact be new and fresh, Google relies on the date that &#8220;we set&#8221; on our weblog posts, not when they initial discovered the URL. </p>
<p>So, how do you change this? How do you make certain that your WordPress weblog posts aren&#8217;t falling victim to this incorrect setting? </p>
<p>1. Log into WordPress (i.e., domain.com/wp-admin/)<br />
two. Around the left side, choose &#8220;settings&#8221;.<br />
three. In the middle of the web page, look for &#8220;Timezone&#8221;.<br />
four. check your timezone to make sure the time is right</p>
<p>If everything is right, then you should be just fine&#8211;there is nothing to change. If it isn&#8217;t correct, or when the timezone is displaying some thing various, you then may have Seo issues with every and every blog publish. And if you&#8217;re doing any weblog post promotion and link developing for your weblog posts, you probably currently understand that the timing is important. Do not let your one simple WordPress setting hurt all your search engine optimization efforts. Check your timezone setting.</p>
<p>I just have one question: Why is Google relying on the date that we set on our own blog? Should not Google be relying on the date of once they crawl our new weblog post?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, you have most likely heard about this new up and coming social media site called Pinterest. I chose to write a Pinterest Review to discover precisely what is so Pinteresting about Pinterest. I imply, really: why are numerous individuals flocking to Pinterest, an additional social bookmarking website that appears to become obtaining all sorts of attention recently. Here is my <a href="http://www.billhartzer.com/pages/pinterest-review-what-is-so-pinteresting-about-pinterest/">Pinterest review</a>, discussing why Pinterest is so Pitneresting.

And why Pinning is the subsequent social bookmarking, and just how you, like a company owner, can drive all kinds of visitors and revenue to your web site.<span id="more-106"></span></p>
<p>You may or may not have heard, but there is a brand new social media site known as <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>. Unlike other social media websites exactly where the main concentrate is to build a profile, with Pinterest, the emphasis is on “pinning” photos that interest you for your numerous pin boards (therefore the name Pinterest).

<p>Here&#8217;s where it gets fascinating for those who&#8217;re performing marketing, and searching for a new avenue to marketplace your products (for those who have not figured out some suggestions currently).

<p>&#8211; Write an article about various products which you provide under a particular price point (ex: Fantastic Gift Ideas Under $20). Pin the photos within the article to a pin board in your Pinterest account, and share them with other people.<br />
&#8211; Produce a video teaching somebody how to do some thing, and share the video on Pinterest. To make this idea even more powerful, you could create an post, or blog post, and consist of the video around the weblog post, after which pin the video in the blog post for your Pinterest account.<br />
&#8211; Take some humorous photos in your area, or neighborhood, and place the URL for your web site in the bottom of the image, after which share the image on 1 of your pin boards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PPC managers have struggled for a long time with the inability to track individual sitelink performance in Google AdWords. Cindy Prathoumvanh, on the Standing Dog blog, has solved the problem within Google Analytics. Cindy has discovered how to <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/for-the-love-of-sitelinks/">Track Performance in Google Analytics</a>.<span id="more-104"></span></p>
<p>Google AdWords combines the performance metrics for each set of sitelinks at the campaign level. Therefore, you cannot drill down to each individual sitelink in order to see which sitelink had more clicks, which one converted or which sitelink just needed to be replaced. This is a dilemma all Pay Per Click managers have struggled with for quite some time. </p>
<p>As someone who manages a Google AdWords campaign, I can tell you that we have actually been looking for answers in the wrong place. When Google AdWords would not deliver the data we needed it to, we had to look elsewhere. We found the answers with Google Analytics.</p>
<p>You can use Google Analytics to track performance in Google Analytics. Take a look how Cindy Prathoumvanh solves this problem.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Timeline for Pages on Facebook doesn&#8217;t provide admins the capability to set a default landing tab. Here&#8217;s why we believe that&#8217;s a great thing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</a> recently revealed <a href="http://www.standingdog.com/blog/timeline-for-pages-no-default-landing-tab/">Timeline for Pages</a>, and subsequently eliminated the Facebook default landing tab. You are able to no longer set a default landing tab. Whilst many individuals who admin Facebook business pages are shocked by this move, or perhaps even confused, let&#8217;s discuss why this is actually a good move by Facebook, rather than such a poor factor. <span id="more-100"></span></p>
<p>As you recall, prior to the introduction of Facebook&#8217;s Timeline for Pages function, Facebook company page administrators were able to choose whether they needed Facebook users to land on the page’s Facebook wall or certainly one of its numerous customized tabs. Many brands, for a lot of years, relied on the default-tab function to push non-fans to a Fangate or welcome tab that encouraged them to click the Facebook Like button so as to achieve access to the Facebook business page and its fan-only content.</p>
<p>Previously, prior to Timeline for Pages was place into action, Facebook company administrators could select which tab was shown because the default. And it could differ based on which content they wanted the user to determine when they 1st went towards the Facebook company page.</p>
<p>When Timeline for Pages was revealed, that all changed. Now there&#8217;s no Landing Tab default.</p>
<p>Now, as a Facebook company web page administrator, just because you can&#8217;t set a contest or other custom app because the default tab does not imply you cannot immediate each Facebook fans and non Facebook fans to that tab via an ad or a Facebook icon on your web site. Or perhaps a newsletter. Every Facebook app will nonetheless have its personal personal unique app URL. If you want your Facebook customers to land around the contest or another customized app, create the app and use the app’s link, not the link towards the page, for your advertisements. Embed the app’s link within the Facebook icon in your web site and in newsletters.</p>
<p>There might be some confusion and additional work in order to make changes for your Facebook business web page so as for Facebook Timeline for Pages to convert well. But more than the long term, I do think that this was a needed change. What do you believe?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Should your company weblog be written in-house or should you outsource the creating of one&#8217;s company blog? Whilst some companies spend extra unique attention to their blogs, other people appear to have small to no interest in sustaining it regularly. I favor to create a dedication for your company blog, and maintain it as much as date regularly, rather than make it look like a ghost town. Both you publish regularly or don&#8217;t have a blog in any way.</p>
<p>Dave Thomas, from Business.com, wrote a <a href="http://www.billhartzer.com/pages/should-your-company-blog-be-done-at-home-or-outsourced/">blog publish about deciding to outsource</a> your weblog or just writing it in-house utilizing your company&#8217;s workers. <span id="more-98"></span></p>
<p>There are several concerns when deciding to outsource your company blog or not, including: these concerns:</p>
<p>&#8211; Ought to you select to go outside using the blog, make certain the voice and message sound as if they are coming out of your business rather than a PR firm, as having a weblog that doesn’t have the tone of your business can backfire on you. Whilst a blog can be tiresome to help keep up, maintaining it in-house usually seems to me to become the better choice, merely due to the fact your workers know their company better than outsiders do;</p>
<p>&#8211; Those inside your company are your top assets because they should know the ins and outs of the company. Numerous times the weblog will be handled inside the advertising division, so that is where your efforts ought to be focused if you want to keep up the blog in-house. If you are looking to job that division with other responsibilities, then think about having the head of the company write it so it gives it more authority. Lastly, you can look to go outside the company for assistance;</p>
<p>&#8211; What is the message you could be sending for your clients by outsourcing the weblog? Some customers may take it as you do not have enough time for that blog, so maybe you don’t have sufficient time for them too. It is important to believe ahead how what you do like a business will be perceived from the public, that includes blogging.</p>
<p>&#8211; Going outdoors the business using the blog implies that you can possess a little less manage over it. Additionally, it means that you either have faith in the people creating and posting it or you end up getting somebody in-house evaluation each posting before it goes reside. By doing the latter, you’re most likely greatest off trying to keep it in-house;</p>
