10 Tips of Google+ for new users

Posted on July 28th, 2011 Posted in SMO & SEO Netgains Technology  Netgains Technology 

10 Tips of Google+ for new users Google+ is a social networking service operated by Google Inc. . The service launched on June 28, 2011 in an invite-only "field testing " phase. The following day, existing users were allowed to invite friends, who are above 18 years of age. This was suspended the next day due to an "insane demand" for accounts. Google+ integrates social services such as Google Profiles and Google Buzz , and introduces new services Circles, Hangouts, Sparks, and Huddles, which may be a little hard for your initial experiences. That’s why you may consider yourself a noob when it comes to Google’s social platform. But, here, fortunately, we’ve got some handy hints to help you out. From quicker sharing options to better content curation via savvy privacy setting   read more...

Google Declared War On Facebook With OpenSocial before Google+

Posted on Posted in SMO & SEO Netgains Technology  Netgains Technology 

Google and Facebook are at war. We’ve known this for a while. Of course, neither side will admit to it, but they are. Winner takes the Internet. After months of Facebook owning Google in just about every way imaginable (well, except search, of course — but the rise of social is slowly making search less important), Google has finally been able to strike back with Google+. And now a full-on social sharing race is getting underway. It may not be a winner-take-all race, but it will eventually be winner-take-most. We simply can’t share everything across 5 or even 3 networks. Google is fighting an uphill battle in this regard, but at least they finally have a weapon. But how did we get to this point where the two biggest names on the Internet are involved in a full-scale war? It all   read more...

Social Media has changed and is changing everything in this world, including how we live or how we travel! Here is a report about ‘The Social Travel Revolution’. You will be totally shocked by the fact if you read though this picture, and I suppose Most shocking statistic will be: 50% of all Americans are on Facebook (155 million) while only 37% of Americans have a passport (115 million).Most ridiculous: The city of Las Vegas has more than 446K likes on Facebook, beating out every other city and giving new meaning to the phrase “What happens in Vegas stays on Facebook.” Reference http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/22/more-americans-are-on-facebook-than-have-a-passport/     read more...

iPad Book Apps Hobbled Only Existing Account Holders Can Use The Apps

Posted on Posted in SMO & SEO Netgains Technology  Netgains Technology 

Only Existing Account-Holders Can Use the Apps, Google Books Booted We’ve already gone over the basics, but as a quick recap: any service offering an app with any sort of subscription component must now offer it within the app using the new in-app subscription options. Those companies are welcome to offer subscriptions outside of the app as well, but they must also have to option to do it in-app and it must be for the same price (or cheaper) than the out-of-app option. If a subscriber signs up in-app, Apple keeps 30 percent of those revenues. If they sign up outside of the app (still granting them accesses to the app), the company keeps 100 percent of the revenues. At the beginning of the year, Apple said it wanted 30% of everything sold through the iPad platform. You could sell almo   read more...

How to prevent your Google+ Account from being banned

Posted on Posted in SMO & SEO Netgains Technology  Netgains Technology 

How to prevent your Google+ Account from being banned Recently, not only the majority of business accounts , but also some personal Google plus accounts are audited which appears to be a suspended phenomenon. I believe that, in most cases, it’s triggered by the inconsistence between the user name/ Google private and Google+’s community criteria. Google does not force users to use their real names, but , to some extent, the user name must comply with Google's relevant guidelines. Real-name authentication is not implemented Google + hasn’t taken up any practical implementation of real-name authentication, therefore, a lot of network marketers pretend to be celebrities and use their names to register accounts due to the lack of restriction. For instance, Ma Ying-jeou(   read more...

Comparison Between Google+ and Twitter

Posted on Posted in SMO & SEO Netgains Technology  Netgains Technology 

One thing I’ve noticed over and over is how boring Twitter has gotten when compared to Google+. Why has Twitter turned boring? I’ve found several areas: 1. First experience. 2. Pictures and videos. 3. Control over content distribution. 4. No API, no auto pushing of content. 5. Signals are visible from who you excited and pissed off. 6. Auto flowing webpage. So, let’s take each of these areas on, and talk about what Twitter could do to make users excited again. FIRST EXPERIENCE Forget everything you know about social networks. Now, visit my Twitter account. Then visit my Google Plus account. Which one draws you in more? Which one shows engagement? Which one has a better about page? Which one shows passion, excitement, that something is happening? In all ca   read more...

Apple Moves The Digital Hub From The Mac To iCloud

Posted on July 25th, 2011 Posted in SMO & SEO Netgains Technology  Netgains Technology 

For the past decade, Apple has treated the PC as the central digital hub which managed and stored all of your digital music, photos, videos, and documents. But managing your own digital hub no longer makes sense. “It worked for the better part of 10 years,” says Steve Jobs, “But it has broken down in the past few years.” When iOS 5 is released this fall, it will move the digital hub online with iCloud. Today, Steve Jobs detailed what iCloud will be, and it is much more than simply iTunes in the cloud. At launch, it will include nine apps with cloud components, including iTunes, Photo Stream, Storage, iBooks, Backup, App Store, and all the MobileMe apps (Contacts, Calendar, Mail). And it will be free as part of the OS, with five gigabytes of storage. With iCloud, the PC gets   read more...

SNS’s influence on Google Search Rankings

Posted on July 20th, 2011 Posted in SMO & SEO Netgains Technology  Netgains Technology 

Since last December's admission from Google + Bing's search teams regarding the direct impact of Twitter + Facebook on search rankings, marketers have been asking two questions: What signals are Google + Bing counting? How much influence do these social signals have on the results? let's look at some data! Correlation of Link Metrics vs. Social Signals How well do metrics like the quantity of shares on Facebook, Tweets on Twitter or Google Buzz shares correlate with higher rankings in the top 30 results in Google's web search results? In June of 2010 we ran a similar analysis and found the highest correlated metrics to be exact match .com domain names and # of linking root domains to the ranking page.

SEO Industry Survey Results in 2010 by SEOmoz team

Posted on Posted in SMO & SEO Netgains Technology  Netgains Technology 

The SEOmoz Team made a particular and reasonable survey to analyze the industry of SEO in 2010. As with the last surveyThe SEO Industry Survey Results for 2008, there are a number of caveats to take into consideration when looking at the data and conclusions that follow. In particular: It’s an online survey and it was perfectly possible to submit multiple answers Despite the widespread take-up, it is likely that there remains a bias towards readers of the SEOmoz blog and users of the SEOmoz tools (*) Respondents are self-selecting and have no incentive to provide truthful answers Take great care when interpreting the data below. It should be implied throughout that every statement includes an embedded “among our respondents” and that statements may not extrapolate to    read more...
