Digital Marketing

Online Marketing Strategies 101

There are two main ways to advertise online, one is to use paid advertising programs and the other is to use free advertising platforms. The idea is to send targeted internet traffic to an offer to get responses and feedback from interested prospects.

paid advertising

Paid advertising can come in different forms, but the most popular ones are called: SEM (search engine marketing) using PPC (pay per click), display advertising, shopping networks, video advertising using Google AdWords, Bing Ads, Yahoo Ads, just to name a few. The idea behind PPC is simple, networks only charge advertisers when their paid ads are clicked and prospects are directed to web pages or landing page offers. Depending on the type of industry or niche market and ad networks, PPC prices can vary widely, from 0.50 cents to $60.00 or more, each time a potential customer clicks on an active ad.

In general, insurance, loans, mortgages and legal services are among the highest costs per click. Obviously the most expensive ad network is Google.com with its AdWords program. It is a powerful money maker if used correctly. It could also leave you broke if you don’t understand the platform properly. As long as you have the budget and the knowledge, it can really make a difference to your overall conversion and ROI (return on investment).

There are other popular methods of paid advertising that use social networks and their paid advertising programs again use PPC (pay per click) technologies. Networks like: Facebook have a huge and powerful paid advertising program called Facebook Ads with the option to also use Instagram Ads since they also own that social network. You can also buy paid traffic with Twitter Ads, LinkedIn Ads, YouTube Ads (AdWords program). On top of that, there are other paid social media advertising platforms like Snap Chat and Pinterest that are also gaining traction.

The advantage of using paid advertising is quick entry. Paid traffic is offered almost immediately once you end your ad campaigns and are officially approved by the network. The drawback is that you need a good marketing budget to collect important data, test it and adjust it to get satisfactory results.

free advertising

First, let’s clear something up about free traffic and website ranking on the search engine results page, also known as the acronym (SERP). Google and other search engines rank web pages and not websites. You can have one web page of your website appearing on the first page of Google for a particular keyword query, while other pages of the same website are nowhere to be found in the search results pages for the same keyword query.

Google and other search engines will prioritize their respective first page results based on their algorithm (mathematical equation) which contains many ranking factors. The six most important ranking factors are as follows:

1- The optimization of the page, the action of making a web page compatible with search engines and also human (meta tags, keyword selection, interconnection, etc.)
2- Great relevant content
3- Back links (relevant links from other high authority sites pointing to your web pages)
4- UX website design (easy to navigate for a good user experience)
5- Page load speed (the time it takes to load a web page)
6- Responsive design (each page must be compatible with mobile devices)

So, a webmaster’s job is to prepare each page of the website using the best practices of search engine industry standards. In return, search engines will provide the best possible match to users searching for a particular topic. Google strives to always provide the best user experience and sets the bar very high for webmasters to provide the “Wow” factor every time a user lands on a web page after a search engine query.

How to build back links?

As mentioned above, a backlink is created when an external website links to your own website. There are many ways to create back links and get free traffic on the Internet. The most common way is to post articles on social networking sites with a link back to your website to get some posting engagements. Also, submitting content articles to well-known article directories will also allow you to get good website visitors for your money pages. Among many good article directories, at the top of the list is EzineArticles.com, which really helps SEO organic search results ranking with strong backlinks due to its long online presence. The directory is also considered an authority site in the eyes of Google and other search engines.

Another popular way is to create and submit interesting videos to YouTube and other popular video sites. Another method of getting good quality free traffic to a website is to use directory submissions. Guest blog posts are also very popular when an author is allowed to post an article on a popular blog site, thus getting a strong backlink. Posting on forums is also a familiar way to build strong backlinks as long as the topic is relevant to the web page you link to.

The backlinking process for organic search results should be built slowly but steadily. Search engines are very smart these days and can spot spam links from a mile away. It is always advisable to use white hat (ethical) methods when building backlinks to avoid being penalized by search engines.

In conclusion, it is always advisable to use many marketing channels to convey your marketing message. Use both free and paid organic traffic building online traffic generation methods if your budget allows to get the boost.

5 Common Mistakes People Make When Ordering Craft Beer

The world of craft beer is new and exciting, with new microbreweries opening every day across the country. The art of these local house brews is that creativity is key and invention is next. In other words, big corporations have their place in the alcohol market, but local places are starting to take root and a whole new beer culture is emerging. If you’re new to the scene, don’t worry, as there really aren’t any hard and fast rules. However, there are some guidelines to help you feel more comfortable ordering your first craft beer. Take a look at the following mistakes to avoid:

1. Do not ask for samples.

A microbrewery is going to depend on its customers enjoying alcohol. If you buy a beer and you hate it, there’s not much chance you’ll come back or speak highly of the establishment. That’s why most bartenders are more than happy to dole out samples to customers who are actually interested in buying a good drink. So don’t be afraid to ask for a sample or two. The general rule of thumb is to be honest with your reviews and keep your sample requests to non-busy times when the bartender can really pay attention to your palate.

2. Asking the bartender for a recommendation without any explanation.

There is nothing wrong with asking for a recommendation. The problem, however, arises when your request is too broad. For example, “What do you recommend?” it’s out of focus and it’s too wide. Every palate is different and no bartender will know exactly what their taste buds prefer. If you want to ask for some guidance, tell your server what you like in a beer. Knowing if you like light or dark beers is a great start. Pale ales are also a good starting point. And if you really don’t know, go back to the samples and be honest about liking the sample. But no.

3. Not telling the truth about a sample.

Again, see point number two. If you’re ordering samples to determine which craft beer to order, then you need to be honest about whether you enjoyed the sample. If you don’t prefer that sample, don’t be afraid to speak up. Tell the bartender as specifically as possible what it was that didn’t appeal to you. Just remember to be courteous.

4. Wait for the drink to be ice cold.

For many Americans, cold beer is as good as it gets. And for a hot day at home, it’s no big deal to have a cold one. But alcohol generally tastes best at room temperature. Flavors are able to present themselves without losing carbonation. Craft beers are usually brewed (pardon the pun) by locals who understand the art of brewing. Don’t be surprised, then, to find that the beer is served at room temperature.

5. Refusing to tip.

Finally, craft beer establishments function like any other bar. Great service deserves great tips. Show your appreciation for your bartender, particularly if you asked for samples and recommendations with an appropriate and classy tip.

California Birth Records – How can you request birth certificates in California?

Birth certificates are very important for identification purposes. Anyone born in the US receives one at birth. They are useful for getting a job, getting a driver’s license, and various other things that require identification. However, they can sometimes be lost or damaged. If you need to obtain a copy of a California birth certificate, there are a few things you need to know first.

All states, including California, allow access to birth certificates as well as other vital records, including marriage, divorce, and death records. However, the exact process for obtaining a certified copy of a birth certificate varies by state.

If you are trying to obtain a copy of a birth certificate in the state of California, you should be aware that the birth certificate and other similar records, prior to July 1905, are maintained in the county where that event occurred. Instead, all records from that time are kept in the State Registrar’s office. Therefore, it is important to know what year and what county you are looking for. That way, you’ll know if you need to contact the county clerk for a copy or the State Registrar’s office.

If you’re looking for a certified copy of your own or an immediate family member’s birth certificate, you likely want post-1905 records. If that’s the case, you should contact the Office of Vital Records in Sacramento, California. You can do this in writing, but before you do, you may want to call them to check things like the fees involved and how long it will take to get your copy. You can reach them at (916) 445-2684. You’ll want to have a notebook and pen handy, because you’ll likely receive a recorded message with this information. Once you are aware of the fees required to obtain a certified copy, you can make a check payable to the Office of Vital Records.

Although that method is cheaper, it takes quite a bit of time. It can take several weeks to get your certified birth certificate that way. Also, please note that beginning in 2003, you must sign an affidavit to obtain a copy. You must have the statement notarized and then mail it in, or it will be returned to you and you will not receive your copy.

If you are more interested in convenience or speed, you may prefer to order your certified copy of your birth certificate online. It is fast and easy. Simply log on to dhs.ca.gov/hisp/chs/ovr/ordercert.htm and follow the easy instructions there. By that method, you can have your certified copy in just a few days, depending on where you live.

If you follow all the rules required by the state of California, obtaining a copy of your California birth record should be fairly easy. Once you have it, keep it in a safe place, so you don’t have to worry about asking for one again.

Real Estate Investing and Property Management in West Chester PA

Residential Property Management in West Chester, PA involves serving two different rental communities.

The first community includes students attending West Chester University. As certain geographic areas of West Chester do not allow student rentals, it is very important that you make sure in which part of the city your investment property is located. Student accommodation takes a lot of time to property managers and requires additional man-hours to meet their needs. For example, with student housing we get calls to change light bulbs, remove snow or ice, clean rooms, and many other requests that we don’t normally get from non-student tenants. As an investor, you want to make sure you have a property management company in West Chester, PA prepared to handle these issues or be prepared to handle them yourself.

Also, with student housing you will get a high turnover and most students stay for a year and move on. So be sure to plan for high tenant turnover when considering investing here.

The second community in West Chester, PA is not for students. This may include people who live in this very popular community or, in some cases, people who work at West Chester University. These types of tenants tend to be more mature and easier to manage the properties in which they reside. Plus, they tend to pay their rent on time and don’t need as much maintenance or attention. As an investor, this may be the best option, but these types of investment properties tend to cost more per unit.

The good news is that non-students can live in their investment property for many years and reduce their vacancy time.

West Chester, PA is a very popular community with many shops and restaurants in the downtown section. West Chester, PA is also home to QVC, one of the area’s largest employers.

This city is still a very active market for both sales and rentals. The median home sales price as of November 2018 is $414,100. The average sale price has risen 3.4% in the last year. The rental market is also experiencing good price appreciation. Median rent is $2,242 per month and increased 1.5% over the last month. This compares to the median rent in Philadelphia of $1,581 and nationally of $1,449. Given the high popularity and strong employment in the area, I would suggest this is a great place for real estate investors to look for investment properties and above average returns.

Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier – The Teddy Bear Lives

If you are not familiar with this breed, you are in for a surprise. When you first meet a Wheaten, you are struck by the beautiful coloration of its coat, hence its name, which contrasts with piercing dark eyes, black lips, and a large black nose. These terriers are friendly, outgoing dogs that will become instant friends, more so than the typical terrier.

Let’s get to know this breed better by reviewing the numbers first. The males grow to between 18 and 20 inches in height or between 46 and 51 cm. while females measure 17-19 inches or 43-48 cm. Males weigh between 35-45 pounds or 16-20 kg. while females weigh between 30-40 pounds or 14-18 kg. These measurements place the dog squarely in the medium size category.

You can expect the breed to survive for 12-15 years.

The dog’s roots are steeped in traditional Irish. This was not a dog from the upper layer of society. Rather, the Wheaten was bred by and for the average Irishman in need of a herder, hunting partner, or vermin dispatcher. In fact, the breed wasn’t recognized in the UK until the 1940s, with the AKC doing so in 1973.

The Wheaten pup is usually reddish-brown in color and stays that way for about 3-4 months. The coat begins to transition to the familiar warm wheat color during this time. The transition to full color will occur within 8 to 12 months. This very soft coat requires regular attention, such as frequent combing and brushing. Combing is actually considered the best method. The coat has a tendency to mat if left unattended. This is exacerbated if the fur gets wet. Today the Wheaten is not considered an outdoor dog for this reason.

Also, the coat should be trimmed regularly. This is important for two reasons. As mentioned above, with a tendency to mat, trimming the coat lessens this result. Second, although the dog does not shed, a great advantage of the breed, clipping removes loose hair. For potential dog owners who may be allergic to dogs, the Wheaten is a great choice, for this reason.

Obedience training is very important. The breed has a tendency to jump and can be very excitable. They are considered by some to be the best greeters in the canine kingdom. They are not afraid to wonder and will pounce on you as they decide to explore something new in their environment. We suggest that training start very early. They are quite sensitive and tend to reflect the owner’s mood, so upbeat, positive reinforcement with firm repetition regarding training is recommended.

The breed is emotionally well balanced and very determined to please. They can be very social with other dogs when properly introduced. As protectors, they can be trusted to bark at unusual noises or visitors. With that said, we would not classify the Wheaten as a guard dog. They are too inclined to make friends. However, it is exactly this disposition that makes the breed a wonderful choice for families with children. Their indulgent nature and willingness to romp around the house make them instant favorites with little ones.

Moderate exercise is recommended. You can expect Wheaten to easily fit into your schedule when it comes to walks and “play time.”

Separation anxiety can be a problem with Wheaten. It seems that every time you leave, they consider it a final event. It’s best not to create unnecessary attention or excitement around outings. Leave quietly and be sure to provide a reward upon return to reinforce the desired behavior.

Wheats have very sensitive skin and do not respond well to flea or tick bites. Itchy skin and hot spots can be expected. They are also prone to various food allergies, ironically to wheat, for example. You should consult a veterinarian for more details. They are also less tolerant of very hot weather. In contrast, winter parties in the snow are highly desirable. In general, though, Wheatens tend to be a healthy, long-lived breed with regular medical care and a balanced diet.

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is an excellent choice for families with children; for those who suffer from allergies or for someone looking for a loyal friend for life. With moderate exercise, firm but friendly training, and regular brushing, the Wheaten will provide its owner with countless hours of companionship.

Hotels in Seville

The lavishly landscaped Hotel La Boticaria is a delight to stay in and rich in Spanish-style charm.

When you travel, consider your hotel room an important part of your overall cultural experience. A Ramada or Hilton feels much the same wherever you go in the world, but a carefully chosen hotel that embraces the style and personality of the culture makes for a more satisfying overall experience.

Ignore Your Spouse: The Surprising Way To Get Back Together

So, would you like to know how to get back with your spouse who left you or asked you to move? There is an amazing technique you can use to help get your ex back. Selectively ignoring your spouse is one way to make it possible to win your ex back.

Exactly why this will be important is: it will completely disarm your partner. If you complain and beg, it gives him or her an exhilarating sense of power, but when you walk away, this is removed.

I know how you feel because it seems like walking away would only make things worse. It would seem that you would simply hasten your separation.

So, would you like to know how to get your ex back using this technique?

Those people who manage to learn how to get back with the spouse who left them or asked them to move learn a secret.

What is that secret?

Here it is: appearing to fall apart will not be attractive to your ex. Let’s examine four tips that will help you get your ex back from her ignoring you.

one. Resist the temptation to constantly call your spouse that you want to separate

For starters, you can resist the urge to constantly try to talk your spouse out of this by talking and talking endlessly. By following this principle, you will help make it possible to get your ex back.

You will see? Your partner has thought more about this than you. He or she has finally taken a stand. Their constant arguing reminds him or her of past manipulation, and he or she becomes more resilient, increasing their newfound power to stand.

Your spouse isn’t thinking clearly anyway. Give yourself some space–time to think.

two. Resist the urge to apologize over and over again

While you can resist the urge to constantly call, you can also resist the urge to apologize over and over again.

You need to take responsibility and apologize for things that are really your fault.. But apologizing over and over again will only upset your spouse.

Take some time to think and offer a well thought out apology. Then move on to more productive things. Doing this will help get your ex back.

3. Work on yourself while ignoring your spouse who wants to separate

In addition to resisting the temptation to constantly call your spouse that you want to break up and resisting the temptation to apologize over and over again, you can also work on yourself while ignoring your spouse.

When you do this, you will have a chance to have a better marriage than ever if you get back together. Truly work on a self-improvement plan. Read good books or listen to tapes about marriage enrichment.

If you can’t reconcile, you’ll need to be able to get on with your life anyway, so a self-improvement plan will benefit you for whatever outcomes you may face in the future. However, when your spouse sees you in a new light, he or she is likely to be attracted to you again. This will help get your ex back.

Four. Appear confident, as that will be more attractive than coming across as someone who is whimpering and falling apart

It may not be how you feel on the inside, but it is essential if you want to become attractive to your partner again. It is possible to get your ex back if he or she sees you in a positive light.

Now we’ve seen resisting the urge to constantly call your divorced spouse, resisting the temptation to apologize over and over again, and working on yourself while ignoring your divorced spouse. It will help you begin to see how to get back with your spouse while you seem to be ignoring them and get on with your life.

Warning: Just reading about these few ideas is not enough. You will have to do something else. You will have to take action. You will also need to get more information.

Get as much information as possible to help restore and enrich your marriage. If you want your ex back, learning more information and taking action on that information is essential.

How to get the best laptop?

You can get a good laptop for $300-$600. You can get all the required features in 500$. You can get used laptops for as little as $100. Search Amazon.com and you should be able to find the right laptop for you. If you want a good laptop, there is no need to spend more money. Sure, there are expensive laptops on the market that will cost upwards of $1000. You can find the most expensive ones at almost $10,000. I once saw a laptop that was priced at $80,000. The laptop is not a rental property. It is a commercial tool and should be used for commercial and educational purposes only.

Competition is very high in the technology market and the design changes every three months. I like the technology, but I don’t need those fancy features at such high prices.

I don’t see a big difference in features. Companies play their tricks while making design changes. You can see that the most expensive laptop has a stylish design. It’s easy to use. These are nice features, but not good enough to spend thousands of dollars on.

You can get great features for just $100. Pick up a good used laptop and you’ll get all the best features. Used laptop prices start from $100 and end at $300. New laptop prices start from $500 and up. MAC laptops are more expensive than Windows laptops. I have never used any operating system other than Windows. I heard that Chrome OS is good too, but it has some limitations. The cost of the laptop depends on the operating system and other required features.

If I am going to buy the laptop (new/used), I will look for the following features.

1. CPU speed

I would like to know the boot speed. How long will it take to wake up?

2. Weight and thickness

The next thing I want to check is the weight and thickness. If the weight is less than 2 kg, it will be easier to carry the laptop. Less weight makes it more portable. The thickness also plays an important role. I prefer mini laptops. They are light and it is easier to watch movies.

3.Battery time

Battery time is important to me. A good laptop should support more than 6 hours of working time. The most expensive laptops have a battery life of 14 to 20 hours. You can get good battery time by adding more cells at a reasonable cost.

4.Good RAM

The latest laptops have a RAM memory of 4 GB. You can go for 8GB RAM for better speed.

5. Touch screen

If you’re going to buy a laptop in 2015, buy a touchscreen laptop. It is best to buy a 2 in 1 PC.

Here are some tips to buy the laptop through an online shopping portal.

1. Search for a phone number. Websites may provide you with their email address, but it is best to contact them via phone number.

2. Look for a professional attitude. Excellent customer service is required to trust the business.

3. Read reviews about the service. There are many shopping websites. Hopefully, many are not scams. But, it is never good to go blind.

Getting the best laptop deals is easy. You can get very affordable deals with amazing features. Social media and email subscription are the best ways to stay up to date.

Home Staging: How To Make Your Tract House Stand Out From The Crowd

Home sellers who want to market their property in developing neighborhoods face difficult challenges. All houses look alike. All houses are sold for quantities in the same price range. The market, whether it is a hot seller’s market or a cold buyer’s market, largely determines the price, the terms of purchase and the time of sale.

How do you make your home stand out from the crowd? How can you turn your property into a “hot” sale, even if the market is lukewarm? Remember the “Three M’s” and apply these Design Psychology strategies as you prepare your home for sale:

one. magnetism. Since most buyers won’t even get out of their car unless a home shows promise, create an exciting exterior that draws prospective buyers to your home. Place an interesting focal point in your front yard, such as a water feature, large urn, or beautiful tree. Enhance your path with inviting plants or lamps that clearly mark the path to the front door. Use color psychology to paint your front door or structure a bright and inviting color, like Sherwin William’s Torchlight (golden wheat) or Rose Tan.

two. mystery. Most house hunters only spend three to four minutes looking at an average house. Charm with mystery as soon as prospects enter your home. Get the buyer to take a second look using Design Psychology’s lighting tricks. Position a palm tree so that it partially blocks the view of the hallway. Light the palm tree up with a tube light that casts captivating shadows on the walls and ceiling.

3. Memory. Home buyers look at many houses in a row. Your goal is to make buyers remember your home above all others. Design psychology can help you do this. Think about the dream of your buyers: they want a lifestyle, not just a house. Make your buyers believe that if they choose your home, they will have the privilege and the right to take a nap in that “fantastic garden hammock”, read a great book in your private reading corner, or cook a delicious meal in your gourmet kitchen.

Turn heads with your attractive home. Turn viewers into buyers. Turn your typical development home into a buyer’s dream home using staging methods that create a lifestyle delight.
