Information + Graphics = Infographics


Information + Graphics = Infographics
“Now” is called “Information Age.” How do you save information? Do you jot it down in your notebook? Or save it in your overloaded brain? All texts and no pictures makes Jack a dull boy. Visuals keep viewers interested and understanding the content is easier and faster than just running your eyes on never ending stream of letters, impress your superiors during presentations. School reports won’t be as dull, lessen the chance of your newsletter in getting spammed, and increase your blog readers; so keep people fascinated in the information that you offer and get them hooked with your infographics.
Traditional content marketing includes long dreary words that make the viewer’s eyes fatigued. Consequently, the eyes twitch and eventually completely close the lids. There is a solution without going to the eye doctor. The power of infographics is like putting toothpicks between the lids to keep them from closing. Nearly everyone is a visual learner. Hurrah for infographics for making eyes wide open!



WHY GO INFORGRAPHICS:
1) Easy
Infographics are easier than writing an article. It has less words, it’s a summary of the topic. Remember that the goal is keep the viewers reading, not bore them to death.

2) Eye-Catching
Words can be boring at times and pictures mixed with words can catch someone’s attention.
3) Viral
It has a big chance to go viral if the content is good. It can be shared on social networks like Facebook, Pinterest or Tweeter and people will click it because it’s striking.
4) Traffic-Generating
It leads visitors to your website when somebody embeds your infograph on their blog or site, the image automatically links back to you. It can also be pinned on Pinterest and generates traffic on your own site.
5) Brand Awareness
More and more people will know your brand when logo is inserted. Sometimes in Pinterest, images don’t lead back to your page, so make sure that your website address is placed in the infograph.
6) SEO
The old school search engine optimization doesn’t work nowadays. Since infographics has potential to go viral, Google will rank you’re your website higher and increase you chance to be found on search engines.
7) Increase Credibility
To create inforgraphics, research is required and your knowledge is exhibited on it. It makes you look like an expert; as a result, it boosts your credibility
TYPES IN INFOGRAPHICS:
1) Present
One kind of infographics is showing the present condition of an industry. It should emphasis how the company runs smoothly and how competent it is.

2) Growth
Set timelines on how it changed over time. Comparing the past situations and the present can really attest that the company is way better than before. History of the product and services can be the input.
3) Evaluation
Comparing two things that create a debate between the two (your merchandise is one of them). Make a friendly comparison as much as possible and evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of each.
4) Demonstration
This is can be a step-by-step guide on how to use your product efficiently. Demonstrate how problems can be solved using it.

























TOOLS:
Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator are some of the tools that can be used to start your infographics. A simple Microsoft Power Point works a well. If these software products are not within your reach, resources online can give a hand:
• Visual.ly
• Daytum
• WordleGap
• Minder
• StatSilk

Will Google bury the SEO industry?


Will Google bury the SEO industry?


Before reading, please take note that this article is made up of an opinion, albeit an educated opinion. In addition, please remember that nobody can predict the future. With that said, you are probably asking how Google is going to bury the SEO industry, so let us start with that.

How may Google bury the SEO industry?

The SEO (Search Engine Optimization) industry is made up of a lot of groups. There are people producing apps, people producing SEO friendly websites and people producing SEO monitoring software. There are also companies that offer SEO advice/consultancy, and companies that offer website development, which involves a certain amount of search engine optimization.

Google is slowly chipping away at their profits because of its updates and free tools. For example, the Google webmaster tools are very high quality and yet are given away for free. SEO companies that have spent thousands on developing similar tools are no longer making enough sales to justify their existence.

Google’s search engine is actually just a large program. Google keeps updating this program so that it is harder to manipulate. However, manipulating this system is how many SEO companies get very quick results. If Google keeps updating their system, then climbing up the search engine results pages is going to take a lot longer. This is bad for the SEO industry because their clients want quick results. Very few clients will accept that their website may take up to two years before it reaches the number one spot on Google.

The SEO industry had it coming

The SEO industry is jam packed with charlatans, misinformation and outright lies. Companies online are marketing themselves as experts when they know nothing more than a person who read a few online articles. Other people are touting themselves as experts, and then using black-hat SEO to reach the top spot. Because, it can take around two months for Google to punish a Black-Hat site, the client has often paid the SEO Company before they realize they have been conned.

There are genuine SEO companies out there who are using approved Google and Bing tactics to raise the SEO of a website, but there are so many fake experts online that it is often a case of being lucky when finding a good one.

Google are receiving complaints all the time

When Google penalizes a website that has set up Google Analytics, they will receive an email telling them that they are being punished for using black-hat SEO. One of the options a webmaster has is to appeal the decision, and one reason for appeal is because an SEO company did the damage, and not the webmaster himself/herself. If the webmaster submit’s the name of the SEO Company, then his or her chances of Google being forgiving increases.

Google are receiving thousands of such complaints every month, and so are purposefully making it harder for SEO companies to ply their trade. This reduces the productivity of the bad/fake SEO companies, but it is still making life harder for real SEO companies. Sadly, if this trend continues, then eventually even the real SEO companies are going to struggle to make a profit.

The consultancy profession is immortal

This fact seems to be ever true. All forms of consultancy seem to be able to suffer the worst that the market can throw at them. Sure, many of them go out of business during a depression, but the disciplines never disappear completely. The same is going to be true for SEO consultancies. Even if Google makes it impossible to manipulate the search engine results, there are still going to be things that an SEO consultancy or an SEO web developer can do for its clients.

For example, it is unlikely that Google is going to remove the importance of on-page SEO. That means that consultancy firms may guide webmasters in the pursuit of having a truly search engine friendly website. You should also remember that on-page SEO takes time and often needs updating. Some eCommerce sites will welcome an SEO firm that will correctly optimize their hundreds of web pages, and many more sites will be happy to pay to have their SEO updated.

As hackers will testify, no system is perfect

As a final point, you should remember that Google is based upon a program. A program can be updated, but it can never be as adaptable as the human mind. People are always going to find ways of manipulating the system. It is the same as fighting hackers, in that it is more a race for who can break into a system before more security is added. Google update their program between 30 and 50 times per year. At least 50% of those updates are probably going to be tweaks in the program in order to stop people using new methods to manipulate the system.

6 Tips for Google Webmaster Tools

6 Tips for Google Webmaster Tools

There are a number of free tools available from Google. These tools, though accessible to everyone and comes for free, are often under-utilized. Google Webmaster Tools is one such free weapon that can add a lot of power to your SEO artillery. However, there are ways to use Google Webmaster Tools in order to tap into their optimum potential. Startups and small businesses can benefit hugely from the proper and accurate use of Google Webmaster Tools. Here are the top 6 tips on how you can leverage greater advantage from Google Webmaster Tools:




1. Site Defaults: You can control what online users can find about your website when they search for you on Google. If you want your images to come up on Google Image Labeler when users type in relevant keywords, you can do so using Google Webmaster Tools. You can also deactivate this option if you feel like! Secondly, your website can be shown with the www prefix or without it, according to the site defaults that you set up on Google Webmaster Tools. 



2. Site Links: Google Webmaster Tools allows you to remove site links from its listings. You will not be able to get Google to add a site link to its list but what you can do is to modify and remove the list of site links for your website that is available with Google. Most websites are not lucky enough to have this block of site links listed with Google. However, if you enjoy that advantage, Google Webmaster Tools will ensure that you can have control over it. 



3. Site Errors: There is no greater relief for a website to know where the errors lie. You will get a comprehensive idea about the errors on your website by the use of Google Webmaster Tools. Broken links that trip online users and make their experience on your website bitter are spotted by Google Webmaster Tools. If the incoming traffic to your website is coming from invalid web pages, this free tool will help you track those down. Google Webmaster Tools also keeps a track of those web pages in your website which Google’s search engine crawlers could not ‘crawl’ and index. These error-finding reports of Google Webmaster Tools are a huge help for websites that want to get their back-end SEO operations right. 



4. Top Searches: Knowing what the online users in your domain are searching for and on which keywords you are ranking at the top can be a boon for SEO teams. Google Webmaster Tools provide you sophisticated technology to pin-point those top searches in your domain of business. It also analyses the click-through rates of these search results and where exactly you are ranking on specific keywords. Manual efforts to track these down can be erroneous. It is best to depend on Google Webmaster Tools for this kind of statistics. 


5. 404 Error Pages: The bane of online surfers, the 404 error, bodes ill for websites as well. Users are repelled by these 404 errors easily and usually they never return to these websites thinking they are damaged goods. You can turn things around even when your website pops up a 404 error page, courtesy Google Webmaster Tools! It helps you to generate a JavaScript that tries to prompt online users into selecting the next best option available to them, along with a Google search box for a modified search. 


6. Analysis: Google Webmaster Tools helps you to analyze reports on your website’s metatags, titles, meta descriptions and other back-end data that drives your SEO engine.

How Businesses Rank in Social Media

One of the most effective ways a business can attract new customers and further connect with existing customers is through social media. Whereas local business may be just building a company website, corporations are already established and working on increasing their brand recognition. Not all corporations and companies are equally skilled with social media, however. In fact, a significant divide exists between those who know how to effectively use social media and those who do not.

Tied for first in social media ranking is Viacom and Walt Disney. These two juggernauts have learned how to best leverage their web presences through social media, and they are separating themselves from the pack. Notables like Nike, Google, and NBC are all within the top 10, which isn't shabby, but if they want to surpass Viacom or Disney, they have their work cut out for them. Microsoft is just outside the top 10 in eleventh, and Coca Cola follows Microsoft in twelfth position.

How to Get More Twitter Followers ?


Even though Twitter has not yet acquired the popularity like that of Facebook, it has its own values and getting a good number of followers in Twitter is always a difficult task. Therefore am going to introduce some tricks and tips that will help you to get more followers in Twitter. I will never ensure you that, If you are follow the methods below, you can get 1000 + followers but am very sure that these points can assist you in making your Twitter account viral.


Try to follow every person you know


Follow every person in twitter that you are familiar with. Go through every profile that you are familiar and follow them. This will make your profile familiar among your friends and followers and you are likely to get more followers. A report of a research say that, If you do like this around 2000 times, you will get at least 800 followers.

Interlink Your Networks


For getting many followers, you can link your Twitter account with other social networks where you have an account. Try to post your twitter account information in your Facebook page. You can also share your twitter account information in blogs, popular websites etc. There are many websites which may ask your twitter account for logging in. By adopting these methods you are getting more popularity and thereby you can get more followers.

A good Profile Picture


A good picture of yours can replace 10000 words. It’s always recommended to have a beautiful and attracting profile picture of yours and it doesn’t matter whether you are a celebrity or not. Uploading an attracting avatar has always resulted in increased number of followers while ugly pictures won’t gain you much.

Use your Twitter account


Tweet frequently. By tweeting constantly you can keep your account static and trendy. Tweet every details that you are doing in twitter. By keeping your account active you can increase the followers. After creating a Twitter account usually we don’t come again and that’s the main reason why we lack to get followers, so be active in Twitter like you are in Facebook.

Ask others to follow you


Ask your friends and relatives to follow you. This is a method which can be adopted at the beginning if you require a lot of Twitter followers.

Ask Questions
