Comparing SEO Strategies for Twitter and Facebook

Although Facebook and Twitter are both considered social media sites, the two have their differences. With Facebook, you create your own personal account complete with a profile (listing as much or as little information about yourself as you want). You can also include pictures, videos and anything else you want. Twitter also requires you to set up a profile along with any pictures and/or information about yourself. Both sites let you communicate with others who are also members of these networks, but the way you communicate is where some of the differences lie. 

Facebook messages can be a lot more private than those on Twitter although you can still post a more public message on Facebook if you want. The way you post your messages is also different. Another difference is how both these sites affect search engine optimization—SEO—with regards to Google which is the largest search engine in the world. 

Who is more popular—Facebook or Twitter?

Facebook is the winner when it comes to the amount of followers. As huge as Twitter is around the world, it still does not have nearly as big of an audience as Facebook. But do not assume that this affects who has the greatest SEO power. Google looks at both social media sites as equals when it comes to SEO. Sure, you can use one for SEO purposes more than the other, but there is no difference in the way this works. The bottom line is that if you are looking to use SEO, you will need support from members of both Facebook and Twitter. 

Blog promotion—Facebook or Twitter?

Facebook may have the upper hand when it comes to blog promotion and SEO. Facebook allows you to share your blog post with an attached link that members can simply click on and visit. If members decide to share your link with others, search engines will notice this. Unfortunately, Twitter does not have this type of tool so it loses its edge when it comes to reaching a large audience. 

However, Twitter comes out ahead in terms of blog promotion because you can use something called micro blogging. While this may sound a bit much, you can continually nag people via Twitter to read your blog. You may lose a few annoyed followers, but you would lose a lot more on Facebook from the constant pestering to read your blog. The other advantage with Twitter is that people are already following you and what you have to say so they are a more inclined to read your blog. 

Website promotion—Facebook or Twitter?

Facebook has the benefit of letting you add posts that are large, contain images or videos, or have their own links. You can only micro blog on Twitter which means you are limited when it comes to methods of promotion. Facebook definitely offers more of an advantage when it comes to SEO promotion. It allows you to add links, “like” something, share something and re-share something. It also gets people talking about whatever it is you are promoting. All of these affect SEO. With Twitter, the only things possible are tweeting, re-tweeting and linking which have less of an effect on SEO. 

Most engaging—Facebook or Twitter?

This may be a matter of taste and preference. For those who like to read micro blogs, Twitter would be the more engaging of the two. But in terms of SEO, how will you know which SEO effectors are the best options for your blog or website? The answer may be in the links. Any link from a Facebook or Twitter profile is going to have some sort of an SEO effect. By no means will it be as great as a link from a website, but it still has some SEO benefit. Neither one is stronger, though. Thirty re-tweets with your link on Twitter is no better or different than thirty “likes” on Facebook for your blog.

Final thoughts

To find the best SEO benefits from these social media sites, try testing them on your social media profiles. You will definitely get advantages from both—it is just a matter of figuring out how to use them to their fullest SEO potential.

Whenever any article's link or URL is placed in the status posting field, Facebook automatically loads title, meta description and thumbnail from the article.

But sometimes, the article you want to share don't have any images in it or the image is inappropriate or maybe you just happen to have a better one to share. In all these cases you want to share a custom thumbnail for your status share.

When there are no images in the article, Facebook usually fetches the sites logo. Finally, the fact is any post looks a bit more better when with a thumbnail.

How to Recognize A Genuine SEO Expert?

Genuine SEO expert

There is so much information on the internet nowadays about SEO tips and services, so how do we know which ones are legitimate and which ones are just trying to get money from us? There are plenty of things you can check to see if they are genuine or not. Even if you don't know much about the SEO world, you should still be able to use these tip on how to avoid any scams or misinformation. 

Realistic Tips and Promises

All genuine SEO experts will be able to give you realistic timeframes on when you will see some type of change. SEO is not an exact science and each ranking is different, so it is impossible to be able to give timeframes that are within a few days and sometimes can take more than a few weeks. 

If you are looking to hire an SEO expert to help you get ranked higher, then they usually give you a 60 day timeframe to see large differences. Even if they are able to increase your traffic dramatically in less than 60 days, they usually give that as a timeframe because it is never guaranteed to work right away.

Avoids All Black Hat Techniques

No genuine SEO expert will ever recommend using any techniques that could eventually hurt you. If you spend a lot of time and resources trying to get ranked higher in search engines, why would an expert recommend risking it all for a few easy rankings? 

Google has made it a mission to stop all techniques that can be considered manipulative or spam, so every SEO expert knows that eventually all bad techniques that are used now, will get punished later. Do not trust anyone who says otherwise because black hat techniques will only result in failure.

Pricing

This might be subjective because some genuine SEO experts offer competitive prices, but at a certain point, it is pretty easy to tell if one is genuine or not. SEO takes time and effort and should cost way more than $10 a month. There have been more and more sites that offer SEO services but will only charge you from $5-$50 a month, which is extremely low. 

On the other hand, there are some websites that try to scam people by charging way too much. The fact that SEO doesn't need to be guaranteed, means that some websites will take your money and not even attempt to help your rankings, then refuse to give you a refund later. 

It is best to research as much as you can about the website you are interested in and most genuine sites will offer some type of money back guarantee. Whether it is a certain percentage of traffic increase to your site or a ranking guarantee, at least you will be covered if they were unable to do something. 

Doesn't Use Secrets or Unknown Techniques

One of the easiest ways to spot a fake SEO expert is if they say they have some secret or unknown way to do SEO. If you see that, run away. SEO isn't a new concept and at this point in time, has been poked and prodded so much that there are no more secrets. The truth about SEO is that it takes time and effort, there are no crazy unknown short cuts that Google decided to implement. While you wish there was an easy way to rank #1 on everything possible, that is never going to happen, so stop falling for the false claims.

Updated Techniques

While some legit techniques might have been used in the past 10 years, SEO has changed and will continue to change. If you notice that an SEO expert tries to use outdated techniques, they are obviously not an expert. This can be hard to tell if you yourself are not knowledgeable about SEO, but if they tell you of a strategy they plan to use, you can always research it to make sure it is legitimate. These tips should help you keep away from those SEO scams or false experts. Just remember, you can usually find reviews about the SEO expert companies as well, so don't forget to read about other people's experiences.

Effect of latest Google Panda Update - A Complete Overview

The latest Google panda is the recent update to Google’s search engine algorithm. Subject to controversies and havoc, the recent Panda, or ‘Farmer’, has produced some unexpected and interesting results in the in Search Engines Results Pages (SERPS). 

What is the purpose of Panda?

The recent Google Panda has been rolled out by Google to eliminate the ‘low quality’ content and to get rid of all those spammy contents seeking rank in the search engines. This can be viewed as an effort by Google to eliminate all those results which are not useful and relevant. The sites like Mahalo, Wisegeek, Ezine articles and a large number of other websites have been affected by the latest Panda update. 

Effect of the latest Google panda update:

• The main reason for Google, launching such update is to punish the sites which publish content only for attracting traffic from the search engines. They are least bothered about the quality of content when they are getting the needed traffic from it and this in turn is depriving the readers of useful and quality content. People always look for real, useful and quality content and Google’s Panda update is aimed at doing just that, which means delivering us which we desire. Therefore, after the latest Panda update, the websites need to be more careful of the things they publish and it has to be unique, original and useful to people and not just for sucking-up to search engines.
• The newest Panda update that was released on July 18th, 2013 is more finely targeted and incorporates new signals. In other way, this newer update should help those sites which were the sufferer of original Panda update. The Panda which will be updated on a monthly basis over a period of ten days has been rolled out to soften the impact it brings on the webmasters.
• As per the last update Google is finding ways to soften the impact by considering some other quality metrics so that those sites in the ‘border’ or ‘grey area’ are saved from being impacted by Panda algorithm. After this update, significant variations in search key phrases have been observed by those who monitor it actively. As an instance, a site ranking for a definite keyword phrase, vanish hours later and then come back with a large change or comparatively in the similar position.
• According to Google, as stated previously, they are intended to provide more prominence to the authority sites in search results. This means this update is also brought to determine authority sites versus simply spam sites. This update is specifically defining what should be considered an authority site and what shouldn't be.
• It was mainly the informational sites which were affected by the recent Panda update; while song lyric sites containing thin content and heavy advertisements were affected in SEO visibility, Informational sites with rich content and little advertisement performed well.

It is true that Panda has killed many blogs and is going to catch all those blogs which generate low quality contents and low back-links or those copycat websites. At the same time, it is also the fact that while in some cases it destroys your blog rank, for others it aids in increasing the rank provided you have unique and high quality contents and use white seo and social media. The latest Google Panda has less of an impact than those from previous updates. The Panda update is going to result in more fluctuations in search results and Google is going to tweak the algorithm accordingly. 

To deal with the latest Google updates what you need to do is enabling Google Authorship and focus on quality staying within the guidelines set by Google.

The best way to re-size screenshots

Image re-size options are always given in any of the blogging platform, Blogger, WordPress, etc. But sometimes your image is a bit larger than the content area and thus your are required to opt for a smaller size, so that your image can be displayed without overflowing the posts display ares. 

These re-sizes done by the blogging platform only changes the HTML markup of the of the image. These re-sizes can render the text in the screen shot blurred a bit, makes the text a bit harder to eyes, making it look like it is low quality image. And thus, your overall visual quality suffers.

Apps to take screen shots

Some of the apps that can be used are, Windows Snipping Tool, the best part about snipping tool is that the produced image is very low in size without a great harm to the quality of text in the screen shot.

Other software include, ScreenGrab and Greenshot (I recommend green shot as it is packaged with a very lightweight editor with some options like obfuscate, which is best for pixelating confidential information in the screenshot like email, credit card number, etc.)

How to re-size your screenshots ?

These are a series of steps that include cutting off the white-spaces from the images, and thus creating more of area to crop off. This is not applicable for full screen screenshots.

As I mentioned it is all about, curtailing off white-spaces that is removing the part of screen shots that have no content or content that can be ignored.

For this tutorial I will use Paint .NET. You can use other as long as they have some common functionality.

Original Screen shot but it is 981px in width

Now, no text in the image is visible, my aim is to re-size it down to less than 700px.

Re-sizing screenshot

1. Open the image in Paint .NET.
2. You are required to use only three tools, Rectangle Select (shortcut key S), Lasso Select (shortcut key S twice if on any tool except rectangle select), Move selected Pixels (shortcut key M).

Final Result Rendered 622 px wide from 981px

As you can see all the white-space is gone, and some not very important components have been cropped off.

Original with highlighted area to be removed

What is removed-

1. Information is parenthesis, erased using eraser.
2. "Add Site" button removed using eraser.
3. White-space between "Your Sites" column and the vertical divider removed using rectangular selection and move selected pixels.

Selecting and moving pixels

Another way of resizing screen shot

All new sites are designed using the responsive css. So, all you need is to resize your browsers size, and then site take screen shot.

The only problem is that, unlike the regular smiley you don't have any simple code to write like :), :D, etc. And as soon as you click on any of the sticker they get posted, it is your choice to place your message first or your sticker first.

By default you will have only the regular smiley and Meep stickers you need to add the rest using the Stickers Store. With Meep (better version of the classic smiley package) you will use the classic smiley only when putting then using the expressions like the above :D, :), :(, etc.

Do conversions using Google Convertor

Doing different conversions are a part of daily usage of many people online or offline. Using phone or smartphone applications are the newer version of accomplishing such tasks but not everybody is interested in downloading and installing apps for doing some conversion for once in a month, sometimes frequency is greater.

With Google you can do a number of conversions. Though this feature has been around from a long time but a lot still don't know these functionality.  The available options are-

1. Temperature,
2. Length,
3. Mass,
4. Speed,
5. Volume,
6. Area,
7. Fuel Consumption,
8. Time, and
9. Digital Storage

Conversion can be done simply by typing in the search bar. For example, if you want to convert a value from Kilobit (Kb) to bytes, then simple type "800 Kb in bytes", as simple as that.

Converting using Google

Currency Conversion

Currency conversions are also possible but they come under the finance part of the Google, and are unavailable on the conversion widget displayed above. The reason is that the conversions listed above are fixed unit conversion whereas the currency conversions are not fixed they tend to change on daily basis. Therefore they can't be placed with the regular unit conversion widget.

Currency Conversions using Google

Currency can be converted similarly as the unit conversions using the same simple process of typing as a string or sentence. Another example, to convert pound to dollar type in "1 pound in dollars".
