From the above number, an estimated 70-80% of users focus more on organic search results than on paid adverts. Additionally, approximately 75% of individuals only look for information on the first search engine result page (SERP). Furthermore, a study has discovered that most websites receive around 41% of their traffic through search and only 11% from some social media platforms.

What do all these statistics mean to you then? These figures indicate that if you want to build a credible and strong marketing campaign, you can combine your traditional methods (e.g. print adverts, TV commercial, etc.) with modern strategies (e.g. pay-per-click, online advertising, SEO, etc.). Now, there is a huge importance in establishing both a storefront and eCommerce website.

When you have the latter, you can cater to your customers’ needs any time of the day. Plus, you can promote your business without spending a big budget. When you have the former, you can take advantage of the fact that Google receives over 2 billion location-based searches each month.

How to Submit Your Business to Google Places and Get Tons of FREE Traffic?

How is this possible? You can be one of the businesses that consumers spot online by signing up for Google Places. Google Places is an application programming interface (API), which allows you to enlist your trade location. Place Pages connect people to information from the best sources across the web, displaying photos, reviews and essential facts, as well as real-time updates and offers from business owners.

Once you have established and have optimized your listing page, you can rank in search results whenever potential customers shop around for offers within your niche and area.

Google lists everything  from restaurants and hotels to dry cleaners and bike shops, as well as non-business places like museums, schools and parks. It sounds like a great opportunity for your company. And, the best advantage of all is that it does not charge you a penny! With that said, sign up for Google Places using these simple steps.

Step 1: Go to Google Places and click “List Your Business”

» Go to google.com/places and choose “Get started”

» Log in using your Google (or Gmail) account or create one (that is, if you do not have one yet). If it is the latter, click on “Sign Up” at the top right corner (check out the next image for reference).

Step 2: Check if your Business has already been Picked up by Google Places

» The moment you have logged in or created an account and are already on the Places page, choose your country and type in your company’s phone number to help Google determine if you have a previous listing.

Step 3: Follow the Steps While Remembering Google Places Guidelines

» If there is no previous listing matching yours, another page will appear asking for basic info on your business. While you are filling out the fields, take note of these reminders:

- Provide complete details on each box.
- Use a real and specific address and not your P.O. Box.
- Supply as much information about your company on the “Description” field and do not forget to incorporate relevant keywords. And, by “relevant”, it refers to terms related to your niche or industry.
- Enter your website to ensure that your target customers know where to find you in case they want to shop online.
- Include several trade categories under “Category” as long as these associate with your offers. To do this, click on “Add another category”.

» Upload an image of your company logo as well as those of your products or successful transactions to show potential buyers your capacity as a seller.

Step 4: Get your Google Places Listing Verified

» When you are through, click on “Submit”, which you can see at the bottom. Now, you have to know that you need to verify or claim your listing before it actually appears on Google Maps or search results. You will receive an email, SMS, or phone call for this. While you can confirm through all these methods, the second and third are the quickest means.

» Sign up for Business Photos too. This way, you can give the consumers an initial look into your establishment and offers through pictures (taken by professional photographers from Google) and a 360-degree interactive tour.

» As a last note, take time to update your Places listing each time something new comes up in your company. Additionally, upload interesting content such as videos or links to your official website. Finally, request reviews from your satisfied customers because these help in putting you at the top of search results.

You can use your Android-powered mobile smartphone as a wireless hotspot for multiple devices while continuing to use standard phone features, such as making and receiving calls or sending and receiving text messages. Most mobile phone providers require an additional data plan to use your phone as a mobile hub/hotspot/router.

Agreed; that you might be put off even starting this process because you think that Android phones are still considerably expensive, well they have been on the market for long enough now that you can find some great deals. If you visit a price comparison site like uSwitch, then you can search for great android phone deals. Once you have bought yourself a cool new Android smartphone, turning it into a wireless hub wouldn’t be much of a hassle. Read on…

How to Turn Your Android Smartphone Into a Wireless Hotspot?

The steps to enable the mobile hotspot on your phone will vary depending on the device.  Here is how you set up your phone as a wireless hub…

First You Need to Tether

There are many ways you can tether your phone to your personal PC, laptop or Mac. However they may require adapting advanced settings on your Android device; we won’t be advising that. The advice we will give means downloading some Android apps (programs) directly on to your phone and changing a few basic settings.

Step-by-Step Tutorial on How to Use PDAnet App to Turn Android Phone Into a Wireless Router

You need to start by opening up the Android Market and looking for an application called PDANet. This is free of charge, so download it straight on to your phone. The latest version of PDAnet turns your Android  (any version) into a true WiFi HotSpot so that you can connect from your computer (MAC or PC) or iPads. This allows your laptop to go online wirelessly through the 2G/3G/4G network on the Android Phone.

And the best part? PDAnet supports USB/Bluetooth DUN and it does not require a tether plan or rooting. At just one click, PdaNet instantly shares the Internet access of your Android phone with your computer. It does NOT require root access or hacking your phone’s firmware. It works on all Android phones.

When you have it installed, you need to get the accompanying program to your personal computer. Make sure you select the right one for your PC, which should be clearly labelled. The program will be in several versions , so best to get the most recent, if your computer supports this.

Then you just need to change one setting on your phone. Start at the home screen, then hit the Menu key and go to settings. Then go to Applications, then to Development. The next step is to hit USB debugging. Then finally hit OK on the confirmation dialog box.

Now the PdaNet app should stream information straight from your android to your computer. To protect yourself, you should disallow that USB debugging setting whenever it is not in use.

Then you need to start the connection. To do this, make sure you phone is plugged into the USB plug on your computer. Start the PdaNet app on your android and hit the Enable USB Tether setting. The app will check for the PC equivalent, that you have already installed.

It will then let you know that it is operating in the background. Then you need to look on your computer, and look for the PdaNet setting, right click on this and hit Connect from the menu.

You should now have confirmation that you are connected and your PC should be running through your phone. That’s it! You can now use your Android phone’s data plan to connect your PC or Mac to the internet — FREE of cost. And yes, the PdaNet app also has another option ‘Enable Bluetooth DUN’. If you have Bluetooth then you could always connect without wireless and use this option instead.

Google Inc spent the past two years poring through online encyclopedia Wikipedia, the CIA Factbook and other sources to expand a database of 12 million items that it picked up as part of its 2010 acquisition of Metaweb. The information warehouse, which Google calls a “Knowledge Graph,” is an attempt by the Internet’s dominant search engine to provide answers as quickly and concisely as possible so users don’t have to sift through a hodgepodge of Web links displayed on the main results page.

The Google Knowledge Graph feature will at first be available to US-based users, but will be rolled out globally in due course. It follows similar efforts by rival Bing to provide added search content beyond the typical list of links. Microsoft’s search engine launched its “snapshot” column last week as part of a wider site redesign.

Google Knowledge Graph and Better Search Results

If a person enters a search request, such as “kings,” that can be interpreted in several ways, Google will now display a box on the right side of the page listing several other options, such as the Los Angeles Kings hockey team, the Sacramento Kings basketball team and the Kings TV show. Clicking on any of these choices will deliver results exclusively devoted to that topic.

Google said the Knowledge Graph has been programmed to use around 3.5 billion different attributes to organize results meaning it can now group results according to those various alternative interpretations.  For some searches, such as on prominent people, Google will automatically pull up a summary box with key information on that topic.

It also aims to help users discover additional facts on a topic with information derived from the Knowledge Graph. Queries on specific people or places will generate thumbnails that list key statistics about the topic. Google bases its assumption on what people are most likely to want to know on an analysis of past search requests.

Effect on SEO: Google Knowledge Graph and Anti-Spam Campaign

As websites seeking traffic have learned to manipulate commonly requested search terms, their links have been appearing more frequently on the first page of Google’s results, even though they might not have the most relevant information. Google periodically tries to remove the rubbish by tweaking its ranking system, only to have websites figure out new ways to outfox the search formula.

If the Knowledge Graph works like it’s supposed to, it will give visitors less reason to leave Google’s website. Anything that keeps people on Google longer is likely to amplify complaints that the company is more interested in promoting its own services than pointing visitors to other helpful Internet destinations.

The feature will begin rolling out as early as Wednesday afternoon for some users in the United States and eventually be available on desktop, mobile and tablet searches. It will first become available in English, then in other languages.

How Can You Recover from Penguin? One of the most difficult things with this update is telling people how to recover. Anyone hit by Penguin was deemed to be spamming Google. I doubt anyone has recovered yet but that doesn’t stop SEOs from sharing tips and techniques they are using in an attempt to break lose from the Penguin’s grip!

Top 5 Reasons to Hire an SEO Company for Penguin

Talking about Penguin recovery, I think it is about time when we start agreeing that when it comes to blogging and placing content online, ‘SEO is required’! There are companies that specialize in optimizing content for search engines but the question is whether to opt for them. Here are top 5 reasons why you should consider hiring a SEO company if your site was hit by Penguin update and you are trying to recover the SERP damage:

Knowledge of Search Engine Optimization

One of the main benefits of hiring a SEO company is that the employees will already understand the use of keywords and how to rank highly in search results. They know what exactly is wrong with your site and what needs to be fixed. The employees know the good tactics to use and those to avoid.

This takes months, if not years, to completely learn and then it takes time for the search engines to notice the change and rank the content accordingly. And when you are trying to recover from an anti-spam update like Google Panda or Penguin, hiring a SEO company makes perfect sense.

Understand Algorithm Changes

Forget about just Penguin or Panda updates, the search engines, in general, change their algorithms on a regular basis. This helps with ranking high quality content highly instead of those pieces that are trying to cheat the system. Those who work for optimization companies will understand the changes quickly and will implement them to the content; it can take months to really understand the changes and how it affects content on a website or blog.

Constantly Optimize Your Content

Another benefit of hiring an optimization company is changes are regularly made to the content on blogs and website. This is difficult for a website owner or blogger to do as they will need to offer fresh content and work on other areas of the site or blog – and the business. It is important to update blog pieces and content regularly to help with algorithm changes and to reach as much traffic as possible.

Saves Your Money

The problem with hiring someone else to do this is that it will cost money; otherwise search engine optimization is free. For those who run small blogs or niche websites, there may not be the funding available to have someone else do the optimization. This is something for larger businesses and those making a larger profit to consider.

Saves Your Time and Better Chance of Penguin Recovery

SEO copy-writing is extremely important to rank on a search engine highly. It is important to reach within the first two pages for the chosen keywords as research has shown very few searchers will look past the second, maybe third, page. Hiring a company to do everything helps to cut down on the time spent on the content and means time can be spent in other areas of the business or on the blog; however, this is not for everybody.

Google Docs online text program was described as an integral component of Drive, letting people create and collaborate on documents. Google put its search expertise to work to provide tools for people to quickly find files in their Drive accounts. Included is Goggle technology to power searches using images instead of key words.

However, have you wondered how much of storage space you are currently consuming on Google Drive and how much space is remaining? As soon as we migrated to Google Drive this was the first question that struck my mind. I wish they had a nice little counter, much like the one that they have on their Gmail login page, to show this.

But since they currently don’t show the storage usage space upfront, we decided we would spill the beans via this post. Here is a super quick tutorial on finding how much space you have left in your Google Drive.

1. To get started open Google Drive from your Google menu.

2. When your Google drive opens click on the wrench icon as shown below and click on Settings:

3. And that would be it! The next page that opens would display your current space usage:

Please note that only stored files (.PDF, .DOC, .JPG, etc.) count towards your Google Drive storage limit. And Google Docs formats don’t use up your storage space, which is a great thing if you’d ask me.

As a side note, the talk about creating a Google Drive started about five years ago. The booming trend of smartphones or tablets being at the center of mobile lifestyles and the growing popularity of services like Gmail or YouTube hosted in the Internet cloud made the time ripe for Google Drive, executives said.

If you are a blogger or a site owner you might probably have heard about Google Penguin Update; the latest webspam killer update Google launched this week in an continual attempt to penalize low-quality spam sites and reward high quality content. Like their earlier Panda update, nobody can tell for sure what exactly Google is experimenting with this algorithm update but Google made it very clear that it’s about targeting sites and blogs violating its quality guidelines.

Here’s an exact quote from the announcement.

In the next few days, we’re launching an important algorithm change targeted at webspam. The change will decrease rankings for sites that we believe are violating Google’s existing quality guidelines. We’ve always targeted webspam in our rankings, and this algorithm represents another improvement in our efforts to reduce webspam and promote high quality content. Our advice for webmasters is to focus on creating high quality sites that create a good user experience and employ white hat SEO methods instead of engaging in aggressive webspam tactics.

How to Survive and Recover From Google Penguin Update Traffic Drop?

Even though the Google Penguin update, just like its big brother Panda update,  was supposedly targeted at sites, which engaged in spammy SEO tactics it appears to have penalized a wide range of legitimate and high quality web sites. If your site or blog has been hit by this update here are some tips directly from Google and some from our own SEO experience that can help you minimize the casualty.

1. Say NO to Hidden Text or Hidden Links

As obvious as it may be as to why this is a bad SEO practice still people keep doing it to trick Google and other Search Engines. Hiding text and links from normal human users and showing them to search engine spiders has been a age old spammer’s technique to boost their search engine ranking.

Site owners resorting to this method of spamming often use CSS to reduce the font size, use white text over white background (to make the texts and links appear invisible to human readers but visible to search spiders), display texts and links behind images, set font size to 0 etc. If you are doing it, STOP right now. Otherwise Penguin will get you!

2. Do NOT Use Cloaking or Shady Redirects

Cloaking is a real illegal blackhat SEO technique. Cloaking is when Search engine crawlers see one page (that is highly optimized for a certain keyword) and the visitor sees another version of the same page. They know whether it’s a crawler or a visitor based on their IP address and/or user-agent.

Similarly shady redirect techniques using meta refresh, Javascript, PHP, ASP and other techniques to mislead the robots and the human eye is a bad practice and is  against Google’s guidelines. If you still use redirects for unethical SEO purposes then you risk to get penalized or banned from the index.

3. Control Your OBLs (Out Bound Links)

Having many outgoing links does not get you any benefits in terms of ranking and could even make your situation worse. If you must have so many OBLs on a page then consider using NOFOLLOW on links that are of low-value. In this way, a visitor can reach this page using a link (pointing to this page) on your site. But the search spiders will not follow the links to all these external sites.

Also, your out-bound links should not appear as if you have sold them. Google is strictly against buying or selling of links with an intent to gain SEO value. So make sure you do not have any sponsored links  available on your blog/site. If you must have them, then make sure you have NOFOLLOWed such links.

4. Do NOT Stuff Keywords

Keyword Stuffing is one more black-hat SEO practice done by some webmasters who stuff their pages with lot of keywords. They use a large amount of keywords inside the post usually in form of synonyms, long tail keyword phrases that essentially mean the same and targeted at a specific set of keywords. Search engines like Google can easily identify it and will penalize your ranking.

A good way to ensure that you are NOT accidentally stuffing your articles with lot of keywords is to keep an eye on the Keyword Density. In simple words. keyword density is the ratio of keywords to the total number of words in a particular article. Usually, a keyword density of about 3% to 4% is considered optimal and you should refrain from going higher than that.

5. Don’t Send Automated Queries to Google

Unfortunately, Google wouldn’t say much about this practice. But as a rule of thumb, refrain your site (blog) from automatically sending any sort of queries to Google servers (or data centers). They clearly state that they do NOT want to be queried unless you have their explicit permission to do so.

In other words, do not use any third party software programs that might send queries to Google in an attempt to submit pages, check rankings, analyze, etc. Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Gold™ that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google.

Google’s “cloud storage” offering will incorporate search capabilities and allow users to store pictures, notes and other documents on the Internet and access them from any Web-connected device.

Google Drive would offer consumers 5 gigabytes of storage for FREE, reports said, adding that it will charge for higher storage. However, other online backup providers will likely be somewhat protected by this relatively low storage provided in the free mode.

Most people can’t back up their photo and music collections to a 5GB (the rumored size) or even 10GB location, so they will likely be able to maintain the business selling online storage.

Dropbox seems like the real target of this product — their incredibly rapid and viral growth must have been a real shock to the folks at Google, who (it’s rumored) had scuttled a “Gdrive” idea previously. With more than 45 million users (as of Nov 2011), Dropbox has a strong start. The question will be how they, and other providers like Box.net respond to Google’s entry.

The Google Drive service would let consumers store their personal information, from digital music to photos, on remote Internet servers and access the data any time with any device, such as smartphones, tablets and desktop computers.

At this point, it was not immediately clear how much Google will charge for the premium versions. A Google spokeswoman said the company does not comment on rumor or speculation.

Google is increasingly developing services to let consumers store their personal information, from digital music to photos, on remote Internet servers and access the data any time with any device, such as smartphones, tablets and desktop computers.

Google Drive will work with sophisticated image search technology to let consumers sift through a wide variety of document types, which could include the likes of Adobe PDF files and photographs, the source said.

How do you see it playing out? Is Google only going after Dropbox? Or should Box.net, Mozy, Carbonite and Backupify be worried about Google Drive?

It also allows you to view the videos and photos taken from the cell phone that has the software installed. Users just have to log into their Mobile Spy account through internet browser.

What is Mobile Spy and How it Works?

Mobile Spy is a software application that allows Android users to monitor their mobile phones in real time. A unique cell phone spy software traces the activities of the person using the Android phone powered with Google technology. Mobile Spy is a small installed application that initiates each time the mobile phone begins to boot.

After Mobile Spy is installed on the Android phone, it starts recording call activities and text messages and then uploads the data silently (through the Internet) into the private Mobile Spy account of the Android user. Whenever signal is available, this cell phone spy system records the GPS locations once in every fifteen minutes. GPS rates vary and results can be viewed through Online Control Panel, which is accessible through any phone web browser.

Mobile Spy is a program that gets directly loaded into the Android phone, with a target to monitor cell phone activities. The cell phone spy system works on silent mode until the interface, to modify settings is active. The Online Control Panel is where Android users can log in to their account to view the results recorded and uploaded by the mobile device. The LIVE Control Panel is an optional add-on that can be purchased. It displays the live location of the mobile device, directly emails all recorded logs to the user’s email address, and allows to remotely gain control over the device.

Having an Android powered smartphone enables you to download and install as many apps you want. Some of them are quite strange and deserve to be categorized as downright weird. But that should not hamper you from downloading them as they are fun to use, addictive and good time pass stuff. This article contains and reviews five strange but somewhat useful apps you can download to your Android for free.

Carrr Matey by Lionebra Studios

Speaking like a pirate, owners of cars in the big cities often find themselves parking in the street. Those who work in the mall, for instance, have to park their car in a huge lot. It can be very easy to forget where you parked, which is where Carrr Matey comes in handy.

Indeed, other apps do exist, but this is arguably the best one on the Android market. Not only does the GPS allow you to mark and locate your car, but it speaks like a rough, sailing pirate. Don’t park your car — drop your anchor, and let Carrr Matey find your dock again. You can even set a timer to remind you when your parking meter is about to run out.

Tricorder by Moonblink

The latest Star Trek iteration has completely wiped the franchise and started it fresh, meaning it is okay to admit your Trekkie status. In other words, it also means you can show off your recently downloaded Android app called Tricorder, which beeps just like the “real” ones from the franchise. It even visually looks like a device Scotty would have used to double-check the engines.

However, Tricorder does actually come with some practical use. For instance, it can measure how strong your Wi-Fi and cellular signals are wherever you are, as well as the acoustical levels of your surrounding area — such as if you are about to record your voice for a podcast.

It also informs you the nearest satellites and GPS signal, which helps if you ever want to know why your GPS service is being a bit erratic. In other words, it has a little something for every technology nerd, all with the added bonus of the single most interesting interfaces on this side of the Neutral Zone.

Bic Concert Lighter by Bic USA

You remember the times when you saw your favorite band perform at a concert. You jumped crazily and burst out the lyrics in perfect sync with the singer. Back in the day, all it took to show you were having a great time was taking out your lighter and flicking it on, waving it back and forth — unfortunately, management and health codes of the concert hall alike have both decided that thousands of lit lighters are a bit of a fire hazard. What else can you do?

Take out that Android and open your lighter; that is, your Bic Concert Lighter app. What this app offers is a full-screen image of one of many Bic lighters — you can pick the design in the Settings option, which include Tattoos, Geometrics, Flick my BIC and Astrology.

Flicking the lighter open is as simple as touching the screen, featuring the hidden flame underneath and a realistic sound effect to accompany it. Swaying your Android back and forth or left to right shows the appropriate movement by the flame in order to stay upright, just like a real lighter.

Easy Metal Detector Lite by Androidika

Want another way to help get back the money spent for that new Android? Not a problem — just use Easy Metal Detector Lite to find any lost coins floating around your neighborhood.

Yes, it really works. How? The compass feature of your Andriod phone functions due to a magnetometer inside of the device, and if elementary school science has taught its students anything, it’s that magnets can find metal pretty well.

My Magic 8 Ball by CWE Software

There are many sources that can help you predict your future — but why not pick My Magic 8 Ball? This Android app features a picture of an 8-ball that offers one of 20 responses to answers when you shake your phone. This is essentially just a magic 8 ball, but on your phone.

Yes, just type in those three magical words when you visit Google and you’ll be treated to a new Easter egg. Not only that, the screen will start misting up too. You can even write in it by dragging the cursor, just like wiping your finger over a misted-up car window.

All you have to do is make your way to Google.com in either their Web or Image search engine to see it snow.

To Let It Snow go to Google.com and

1. Type: Let It Snow
2. Watch as snow flakes fall in a flurry
3. Use your mouse to clean off the screen
4. Scroll to the top and DEFROST your screen
5. Watch snow continue to fall

You can actually experience this on different Google search engines. We tested this on Google.com Web Search and Google.com Image search. There might be more Google products that you can use this in as well.

WARNING: I noticed that if you leave open your browser window for too long with ‘let it snow’ searched in Google, it tends to slow down your browsing ability as the browser can start taking as much as 50% CPU. A simple solution is to close the browser window/tab that has the Google page open and things should be back to normal.

And in case, you missed to notice, this is by far the coolest Google search trick since “do a barrel roll,” which produces a vintage video-game effect.

Other Easter Eggs to try in Google Search are these phrases (without quotes) to activate the hidden Google Easter Egg: tilt, askew, do a barrel roll, zz, rr, anagram, ascii art, recursion and let it snow. There are over 56 known Google Search Engine Easter Eggs and that list is growing every day.

This seems like it’s a great way for Google to get social media outreach and people to make it known that Google products like Google Chrome, Google Docs & Google Instant are the place to be.
