You know that you can advertise on Google for FREE using Google Local or Google Maps?
This can help you show up in searches and get more traffic, leads and customers.
Here’s what you have to do to get listed on Google Maps for free:
Things you will need before you start:
- A description of your business
- Your phone number, address and any other contact info you want to advertise
- A logo or image that represents your business (some people use a picture of their office, store or restaurant)
- A coupon or special offer you want to advertise (Google also lets you add a coupon for FREE if you want)
Step 1) Go to www.google.com/local and search for your business to verify it is not yet listed.
Step 2) Go back to www.google.com/local and click on Add/Edit Your Business at the bottom left part of the page. Add your business to Google marketing.
Step 3) Follow the steps provided by Google. They are pretty simple and straightforward. As part of the process you will need to verify your business either by phone or mail.
Step 4) Check back in a few weeks and verify your listing. If you want to update it, you can use the same process outlined here to update your listing.
Knowing who is linking to you and what link text they’re using is one of the most important aspects in Search Engine Optimization.
If you go to Backlink Watch and type your URL, you will get complete detailed information about the quality and quantity of backward links pointing to your website. It will show you anchor text, Google Toolbar PageRank, total outbound links on that page and nofollow flag for each of your inbound links available.
The Title Tag is the first object that Search Engine Spiders see. All Search Engines support Title Tags which is used to sum up the contents of your web page in one thought.
What you define as your Title Tags will be displayed as the hyper linking text in the Search Engine’s results.
This is a very useful video showing you the importance of using SEO Title Tags on your Webpages.
Don’t you just love the Chemical Brothers? I know I do! Always innovative and coming up with that new beat. And now they are out with a new tune, “The Salmon Dance”.
My husband showed it to our kids of 2 and 5 years and they LOVE it! Reminds them of “Finding Nemo”. Our son of 2 years is just shouting “Mama, fishes! FISHES, MAMA!” and so we have to play this video over and over and over and over again… But I don’t mind because it’s a really cute video, see for yourself!
Yesterday, it was 40 years ago since Che was executed and became the legend he still is today. Sad that such a brilliant mind and not to mention handsome man had to leave us so early. I mean, I can just stare at this picture forever… He is so hot!
Think the picture above must be the #1 printed mugshot on a T-shirt ever. I do in fact have one myself which I love. I love Che and may his memory live on forever! Viva La Revolucion!
Look at these cute signs I see every time I go outside of my house here. I just had to take a photo of them, only seen 3 different ones, but I am sure there are plenty more of them out there somewhere.
I specially like the one claiming “I never trashed your house”. Funny thing is that the sign is placed just outside of where we place the garbage in the street. (Yep, that’s how they do it here in Amsterdam, you have to place your garbage in the street on specific places and they come to pick it up twice a week)
Anyway, nice to see some fresh street art just outside of my casa.
