Google has become synonymous with the word, “Search.” Whether you are casually surfing the internet, or browsing the web for useful information, the more specific your search is, the more relevant would your results be. So optimizing your web pages, articles, or posts requires you to understand your target audience thoroughly, do a market research of the most searched keywords, research the top websites for the keywords you are targeting, and this is just the beginning. Read more on SEO on Wikipedia, if you are not familiar with what it is.

Based on our online experience for a few years now, I would say it is imperative for anyone and everyone to be familiar with SEO. Say you have a small business, say you start a blog, start you want to place an ad, say you want to sell something online, say you want to discuss in a forum… being SEO savvy will help you to use the online resources that are available in a more useful way, and if you have something to contribute, it is not a choice, but mandatory to learn and use it.

SEO Marketing is not as easy though. It takes a lot of time, effort and patience to establish a name in a certain niche, thanks to millions of people competing on the web. So if you want to save time and capitalize quick, we would suggest using SEO services from reputed SEO Companies. Manual directory submission is a cheap and effective way of advertising, and many SEO consultants can do it for you for a small fee. The SEO services that you may also find useful could be domain name submission to multiple search engines, article submission, content writing, website or blog analysis.

Askville, Linkedin or Yahoo: Ask Who?

Published on December 3, 2007 in 2007, Amazon, askville.com, Best Answers, Best Questions, Google, internet, Linkedin, media, quest coins, Quest gold, Questville.com, Strategy and Yahoo Answers. 2 Comments

Amazon has tried it’s own version of “Yahoo Answers” called Askville. Askville.com was earlier launched in December 2006, so this is a re-launch of Askville in a way.

That’s a brave move, I’d say after Google Answers and practically everyone else who duplicated the concept of Yahoo Answers collapsed.

Amazon describes Askville as a “place where you can share and discuss knowledge with other people by asking and answering questions on any topicâ€?. We have heard that one before, so what’s new?

Amazon is rewarding Askville.com users for the use of widgets in answering. So you can add Amazon products, google maps, videos from YouTube, Google, Bolt, etc. Now this reward is in the form of experience points, and virtual currency called “Quest Coins” will be redeemed through another Amazon affiliate site, Questville.com to be launched later this year.

You guessed it right, “Experience Pointsâ€? and “Quest Coinsâ€? will not be easily gained! However, Amazon has mentioned that Askville.com users who answer questions could receive Quest Gold, which will be redeemable for USD50 or USD100 Amazon.com Gift cards for a limited time.

Internet powerhouses and Web 2.0 players are constantly re-inventing the wheel, and in the process, users get split across the board. Those who seek answers seek a site that features “Best Answers” and those who answer seek “Best Returns”..I guess a combination that separates these two out might be a better answer.

Verizon To Open Its Wireless Network

Verizon LogoFirst it was Google’s Android, now Verizon has joined the bandwagon and is launching an open platform for it’s CDMA powered cell phones. This will allow users with cell phones from other carriers to switch to Verizon without needing to change the handsets. The catch is, only Sprint customers with unlocked cell phones are able to switch to this ever declining market which has switched to the more universally common GSM technology!

Google’s Android the next big thing for Mobile Technology?

The simple answer is no, however, Linux the open-source OS might get a huge push and even end up becoming the platform of choice rooting out competition like Windows and Palm. Although handset manufactures like LG, HTC, Motorola and Samsung, chip firms such as Qualcomm and mobile networks like T-Mobile and China Mobile have all showed interest in partnering with Google, none have made any specific commitment towards moving in that direction yet.

google android

Google believes that Android powered phones will make the internet experience on a mobile “better than on a PC”, it acquired Android in 2005 specifically to tap the youth appeal for all things “wireless”, but one expert thinks the hype is just that, a poor PR move and nothing more. Don’t expect a phone powered by Android until mid-2008, so only time and patience can tell if it will take off, in the mean time, enjoy your iPhone.
