3 Steps To Learn SEO

Search Engine Optimization is a skill that anybody with a website needs to know. Without it, there is no point to even have a website. This can seem as a scary subject to get in to but it really isn’t. If you follow the steps in this article you should be able to get a good understanding how SEO works pretty quick…at least the basics.

1. What is SEO? SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Read more about it here.
2. The first thing you will want to do is to understand the basic elements that are involved and their impact on the overall SEO of the page. To do this, read the 15 Minute SEO List, maybe even print it out for your reference. Applying these elements to your pages is not complicated but one might find it time consuming and tedious. Nevertheless, it is something that needs to be done if you are going to have a website.
3. The next thing you should do is check out SEOmoz’s Beginner’s Checklist for Learning SEO. It explains in detail a step-by-step plan for the tasks that needs to be done.

That is it. Now read those things over again and make sure you understand what you are reading and to where you are confident you can apply this knowledge to your website. Although this is basic SEO, it makes a big impact on your website’s ranking in the search engines. After you get these basics applied to your website you can start looking into other, more advanced, internet marketing techniques.

Beautiful, Clean Website Design & An Awesome Tool

First about the website it self, it is very clean and organized. plenty of “white space” to make everything easy to read and see. Cool concept on the header illustrating what they do. Simple design for the body of the page and a nice clean footer. I like this because it is very easy to look at and you can tell what the purpose of the site is and what they do within seconds of arriving.

The service this website offers is pretty cool, as the name says, they stitch multiple feeds together into one feed organized chronologically.

The administration area is still kind of clunky. When you make a change or an update you need to refresh the page to see the changes. Looks like it uses AJAX to update everything but it does not refresh the results after for some reason.

Once you get over the technical issues on the admin side the feed works excellent and can be used just fine. I say this is an awesome tool and hope they fix the admin side issues soon.

Adding Custom HTML Box To My Facebook Page

In the previous post I wrote about adding a custom HTML box to my Facebook Profile, today I will talk about adding  a custom HTML box to my Facebook Pages. I spent hours trying to figure out how this is done and realized after a while that Facebook is still having lots of navigation and usability issues. The navigation between the main Profile area and other elements of Facebook are not linked very well, at least no very intuitive and easy to get lost. Once you get something to work it is hard to find out how you did it and to replicate it.

After hours of surfing the help pages and forums I finally found some patterns and figured out how certain things are done.

Adding a custom HTML box to your Facebook Pages requires a different procedure and a separate Application from what was used in the previous post so to add an HTML box to Facebook Pages (not Facebook Profile) follow these instructions.
