PostsStill need convincing about mobile traffic? Look at this! 7th February 2014 2:38 PM  Ignore mobile users at your own peril! Make sure your website is a responsive design that displays ok on a mobile phone, or have a dedicated mobile site. If you sell products, can you your potential customers order from you easily and securely from a mobile or tablet device? This year, only 50% of your traffic will come from a desktop/laptop computer. If it's something you've been meaning to do, it's time to talk to your web designer! Friday Humour 7th February 2014 10:18 AM 15 Tools to help your Social Media Presence - what are your favourites? 7th February 2014 10:09 AM This article goes into good detail about it's top 15: A new content metric - Attention minutes 6th February 2014 11:32 PM Interesting stuff. Measure how popular your content is not by pageviews or time on site, but by attention minutes. “Upworthy says they decided to build attention minutes in the fall out of frustration with available analytics, either because they measure the wrong things or because they measured them poorly. For example, while Google Analytics Mobile apps. Are they worth it? 5th February 2014 4:50 PM I have been toying with a mobile app now for about 5 years! Originally we thought it was a gimmick, and not enough mobile traffic to warrant it. Now I think we may have missed the boat and the market is saturated with apps. There seems to be an app now for just about everything, but ones I've tried, such as the Facebook one and Google+ one I think are rubbish, and I prefer the mobile website versions. The one thats blown me away and I think is superb and makes perfect sense, is the BBC weather app, that knows your location, and gives you an instant forecast.  But does an app for an average ecoomerce site, a tradesmens site, or even a professional services site make any sense for small businesses, who have minimal resources, and are unlikely to get much exposure and people interested in downloading it? Don't mean to belittle apps, they are obviously a huge established market. But looking at them as a marketing tool/gimmick/customer interaction tool for a small business I'm not that convinced. Anyone got an app for their site or experimented with apps? Ocado - yet to make a profit after 14 years! 4th February 2014 11:54 AM “Ocado has reported widening losses, but the online grocer - which is yet to report an annual profit - says it has made "significant progress". The firm reported a loss of Community Inspiration for 2014? 4th February 2014 11:40 AM Nice one Barney. Anyone else want to put a public stake in the ground and set some 2014 targets? Remember the well worn but relevant Einstein cliche quote: Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Goodbye to Article Directories! 1st February 2014 2:23 PM I'll bet there's a plugin or template floating around for wordpress which would do the job and allow you to moderate. Or set up a google community, (or Facebook group or even linked in) that would do the same thing and is free. But the hard bit is always going to be promoting it and getting people to leave comments. Should killers get whole life tariffs? 31st January 2014 2:15 PM It's good to see you've got the rant gene back  I think I mellow with age. 20 years ago, no question, execute them, in fact forget a trial, save the cash. But you get older and realise the world doesn't work like that. Everyone needs their trial. Yet agree with hard labour and making prison a place you wouldn't want to revisit! But I think the key thing here is publicity. Forget creed, race, beliefs. These blokes are nut jobs. They need sentencing and banging up asap, and removed from society. What they don't need is a media and publicity platform to broadcast their poison, and I don't understand what good or relevance it does for papers or TV to quote or reference some of the rubbish that has been spouted. Freedom of the press my ****, it's headlines to sell papers and gain audience share. Lock 'em up, throw away the key, work them hard and let them rot in obscurity. |
