PostsGoogle Places is no more! Hello Google+ Local 18th June 2012 2:47 PM “Looks like the approach to SEO for local businesses has changed!...Could this be the reason as some of our Google places Ranks has dropped and few aren't found at all!?” I think it certainly explains some of the disruption over the last 6 months, as they were obviously playing and trying things out. I remember seeing our own reviews stars keep appearing and disappearing, only to be replaced with google reviews, then briefly our and googles together, so we had two sets of 5 stars! Then alas they all disappeared and now we have the new bland format  Looking for a VA - any recommendations? 16th June 2012 11:31 AM We've got a backlog of admin work, mainly data manipulation and cleansing. None of it is particularly exciting, but it is time consuming. Ideally looking to send over a spreadsheet of data, and be charged on completetion. Prob 1 - 2 days work per spreadsheet, but no rush and can be slotted between other jobs. Just after consistency, require some common sense (not monkey see monkey do mentality), and obviously the right price If it works out for both parties, then we have about 150 years worth of potential work Feel free to PM for more info and discuss in more detail. Do use a Twitter Hash Tag? 15th June 2012 5:22 PM “I dont think 'hashtag' MLF will really help in bringing traffic to this forum as the acronym is not specific enough - could stand for a wide range of things.” interesting, so it needs to be more keyword orientated and obvious SEO Humour 15th June 2012 5:20 PM “Man : Kung fu panda and happy feet were two of my favourite movies. Not anymore!!!” everytime I hear a reference to Google Penguin, I keep thinking of the comedy penguins in Madagascar.. "smile and wave boys, smile and wave"  SEO Humour 15th June 2012 12:54 PM Do use a Twitter Hash Tag? 15th June 2012 12:38 PM I will confess to being a bit lazy when it comes to twitter, and think it's about time I made more of an effort. Other forums promote and big up the use of hash tags. Does anyone else use or have experience of using hash tags, good or bad? If for example we used the Hash Tag of #MLF (not MILF as someone once commented!) would this just basically become a short version of @MyLocalForums if someone wanted to mention us in a tweet? Or is the idea just simply to try and get a trending topic? Be interested to hear any other thoughts or experiences in twitter land. Microsoft looking to acquire Yammer 15th June 2012 11:55 AM Microsoft seems to be flexing it's muscles recently with a number of acquisitions and partnerships. According to Bloomberg, it's looking to aquire Yammer for a $1 billion Never heard of Yammer, but it appears to be a Social Networking site aimed purely at larger companies and corporates. A grown up facebook So is this where Microsoft thinks social networking will be profitable? For a $1 billion, assume they are onto something Huzzah! Real Time Analytics have arrived! 15th June 2012 11:30 AM “Google analytic get huge webmaster as a traffic for their better services.” Sorry nashir, guessing there is a bit of a language barrier, but what you are saying doesn't make sense. How can simply having google analytics increase your traffic? Analyzing the data produced by GA and implementing new strategy based on this data I could understand, but not simply because you use it? Huzzah! Real Time Analytics have arrived! 15th June 2012 9:56 AM “This feature of google analytic is more effective to increase traffic. Many webmaster want this for better use.” I don't understand, how can a feature of google analytics increase traffic? Can you explain? |
