Top Tips for Excelling on Bing

If you want to hit the top of Bing's rankings for your chosen keywords, here
are the best ways to score a high ranking:

* First and foremost, make sure that social tactics are a huge part of your
marketing strategies. A heavy presence on * Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn
and related sites is a must.
* Be a heavy Facebook user, as opposed to Google+. Leverage your fans, and
encourage social signals (Likes, comments, etc.)
* Test your keywords specifically against the Bing audience. What will get
you high rankings in Google will likely be different in Bing. The smaller
audience also means less competition for your keywords, so you're more
likely to do well using more popular selections on Bing than on Google.
* Bing is a stickler for error free XML sitemaps. Make sure yours have zero
404s, or the Bingbot might ignore the whole thing.
* The Bingbot is also big on Robots.txt files. If your site doesn't have
one, it risks being completely ignored by Bing.
* Bounce rates are also big deciding factors. If most visitors bounce off a
page before spending a certain chunk of time, the entire website may suffer
a ranking decrease.
* Just like Google, content - good, quality, fresh, current, irresistible
content - is essential to a high ranking.

Whether you decide to go full throttle into a Bing approach, or stick to the
tried-and-true Google, make sure you at least keep some strategies in mind
for both. Bing may not yet be the homecoming queen, but it's earned enough
votes to make the reigning royalty start quaking in the knees. That means
you're very wise to not ignore this new kid on the search block.

What are your top tips for rising in the Bing ranks? Or do you even concern
yourself with Bing at this stage in the game?

my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."

Where can QR Codes be placed?

Where can QR Codes be placed? The answer to this is almost anywhere! QR Code printing can be done in newspapers, magazines, brochures, leaflets and on business cards. Further to this they can be put on product packaging or labels, or on billboards or even walls. You could even tattoo a QR Code on your body - now that would be an interesting take on giving a girl/guy your number in a bar! You can use QR Codes on a website but they should not generally be used as a substitute for an old-fashioned hyperlink because obviously the user is already online and doesn't really want to fiddle around with their phone only to find a website they could have just clicked through to in half the time. If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

When you start out in the blogosphere, there are two words that you hear over and over again. 1. Content - Because let's face it, if you're not writing anything, your blog is going to be pretty lonesome 2.
