Blogs and RSS Feeds
November 19, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a tool useful for saving or retaining updated information on websites that you frequently visit or websites that are your favorite. RSS utilizes an XML code which scans continuously the content or subject matter of a certain website in search for new informations then transmits the information updates by way of feeding the information to subscribers.
RSS feeds are generally being utilized in blogs or news sites, though any website wanting to broadcast and publish information can use them. Once new information is sent, it will contain a headline, a little bit of text, and either a rundown or a brief review of the news or story. A link is needed be clicked upon to read further.
So as to accept RSS feeds, a feed reader is needed, called an aggregator. Aggregators are widely and freely available online, and all that is needed is a bit of searching, you will be able to locate a certain interface that best interest you. What’s more, RSS feeds can likewise be read and retrieved from cell phones and on PDAs.
Once you encounter upon a website that you want to add or insert to the aggregator, the process can be done in two ways. Almost all sites offering an RSS feed displays an “RSS” or “XML” button in their homepage and with one click, it promptly add that particular feed to one’s aggregator. Some aggregator however, requires the need to copy and then paste the URL of the feed unto the program.
Whatever the method used, you can be certain that the feed will be accessible soon as you have inserted it, likewise, in just seconds, the next update can arrive. In the event that you do not anymore would want to accept or take in updates, you may simply delete or erase the feed from the aggregator.
Through e-mail subscriptions, you can receive newsletters. RSS feeds on the other hand, can be more convenient in keeping up with newsletter updates since they are prompt and available in an instant; you no longer have to wait for a scheduled time or day to obtain a news summary, plus, these news will never be detained through a spam filter.
RSS feeds are widely used everyday by individuals who understand and appreciate the accessibility of fast reports and news that can be readily read and only read certain updates that appeals to them.
Aggregators
Aggregators are popular use of feeds, having several kinds. Web aggregators or portals as they are sometimes called, create this view which is then made available in a Web page. Also, Aggregators have been incorporated into e-mail patrons, users of desktops, or dedicated and standalone software.
Offering a collection of special features, such as combining more than a few related feeds in just a single view, hiding certain entries or statements that has been already viewed, and classifying entries and feeds, the aggregator is a versatile component.
Why make a feed available?
You will have more viewers, since now, your viewers can conveniently see your site without even going out and looking for that certain site. While at first, it may seem corrupt, it will in fact enhance the visibility of your site; this is so because users can easily keep up or keep tract with your site, to allow them to view in a way that they want to; it’s more probable that guests are aware should something that is in their interest is available or accessible on your site.
For instance, every month your website broadcasts a new feature. Having no feed, your viewers will always have to keep in mind to go to your site in a certain time to see if they discover something new; that is, if they can remember, and if they still have the time. However, if you supply a feed for your viewers, they can just point to their aggregator and it will instantly provide them a link along with a description of happenings or events at your site immediately.
What format to choose?
Syndication is very confusing as it uses a lot of formats that can usually be come across in the web. However, this can easily be solved as in general, syndicated libraries are used by aggregators which conceptualize a particular format that a feed is in, in order that they can utilize a certain syndication feed.
With this, whatever format to pick is just a matter of personal preference. RSS 1.0 is far reaching, and practical should it be integrated into Semantic Web systems. RSS 2.0 is very easy and simple create by hand. And atom is an IETF Standard, does it brings constancy, stability and a natural and accepted community to support its usage.

Social Media Marketing Training Helps You Make a Plan For Success
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
At a social media marketing training session I recently attended, I overheard another attendee talking about the challenges she faced in attempting to tackle social media marketing. The owner of a small, home-based business based in the Toronto area, she was trying to find inexpensive ways to market her business. She had heard about this new way of promoting her company and decided to jump in with both feet. After a few months, she felt completely overwhelmed and decided that she needed training in social media marketing.
She is likely not alone. The temptation to take advantage of the virtually free marketing opportunities in social media is pretty strong, but without an effective plan, you will find yourself in the same position as that Toronto business owner.Social Media Marketing – Why So Much Choice Can Be a Bad Thing
There are many kinds of sites that fall under the heading of “social media.” These include social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn, social news sites like Digg and Reddit, and social bookmarking sites like Delicious. Social media also includes the “microblogging” site, Twitter.
The key to using social media for marketing is to offer people something of value so they will want to connect and interact with your business. For most businesses, this thing of value is a blog, series of articles, or other content of interest to their core audience.
Here’s where it gets tricky, and where our Toronto business owner got tripped up – deciding which social media sites to use and what kind of content to create.
When I heard that business owner talk about her challenges, I entered the conversation to see what she had bee trying. Here’s a summary of what she said:
She started a blog but after a month or so had run out of things to talk about.
Everytime she posted to her blog, she would add a link to the post on Digg and Delicious.
She had also investigated Reddit and Stumble Upon and set up accounts on both sites but left them pretty much inactive.
She set up a profile on Linked In, at the suggestion of a client, but promptly forgot about it and rarely used it.
She added a personal profile to Facebook but, beyond that, had no idea how to use this profile to promote her business. She eventually found a way to create a business page, which seemed to suit her needs.
She just recently joined Twitter and was having trouble keeping up with it and finding things to say.
After listening to her, I concluded that the main problem she was having was content-based and I reassured her that the social media marketing training course would help her.
What she needed was a comprehensive plan to get her started. She needed to focus her efforts on a few sites, and ensure she had content to share. She needed a schedule for her writing and she also needed to learn how to optimize her content to draw the traffic she wanted.
Fortunately, the social media training course we were both attending covered all of those points and more.
I spoke to her at the end of the course and she said she felt much better, and much more ready to tackle social media marketing. The training had helped her immensely.
If you own your own business and you are interested in marketing through social media, I recommend that you start with social media marketing training, so you can avoid wasting months of time and energy like our Toronto business owner did.

Building a blog ping list
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Ping lists for blogs.If you have a personal or business blog, it is necessary to ping after you post a new article. Pinging a blog will contact Yahoo and other search bots that a new article has been added to your site. When they are notified, the ping service providers will send a spider to read your new post within seconds depending on their traffic load.Blog ping definition.By definition, a blog ping is a notification to a search provider that a blog has been updated. A ping is basically an XML message that contains the url address of the blog. Most blog news sites have separate internet addresses for accepting pings, so testing your ping list is very important.The Good Versus The Bad.The Good News: Pinging a blog is often good, because the more you ping, the more exposure you’ll get to your blog post. As a result, many of the ping service providers will remember your URLs listed on their service and republished them.The Cons: The more you ping your website, your server will become slower. If your blog ping list is more than fifty providers, your server load can get really high. Another downside is that most of the providers ping the same search bots. This can be bad for your site because you can potentially ping Google too many times and it looks like your a spammer. So a good blog ping list is important to your site.Wordpress Blog PingingAs a default, the WordPress engine pings one service automatically called Ping-o-matic. Ping-o-matic is not a good provider by itself because it is simply outdated. This is because it does not ping all of the newer services you need to syndicate your blog and get it spidered right. Wordpress also pings every time you update your site, revise a post, which isn’t good because you could potentially look like a spammer and get blacklisted.How To Build A Good Ping List.Here are a few things you need to take note during the building of your ping list. Keep in mind that a ping list doesn’t last an eternity, so you should check and update your list as often as possible.Note 1: Find a base ping list. I found a great recommended providers list located at this site. Ping List For BlogsStep 2: Find new ping providers.You should add to your base list by doing some research based on your market niche, language, and country online. You can also email other established sites within your market and ask them for advice. If you search the right places you should be able to find more information on available ping service providers to add to the base list.Step 3: You should remove any non-working services from your list.This step is very important. You should begin by checking each provider by visiting their site. Pay attention to the service and area they provide to. If you have found that the website is no longer in service then simply remove it from your list.It is recommended that you pay attention to your service list and regularly and check the providers websites to make sure they’re working. Proper maintenance of your provider list will keep your content spidered and increase your blog’s visibility in the search engines.

Twitter for Physicians / Doctors
November 6, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Whether you prefer to call yourself a doctor or physician, you may be wondering if Twitter is for you. Everybody is talking about twitter but is there anything in there for you – the busy doctor? Can Twitter help your practice, can Twitter bring more business, improve patient loyalty and raise your stature in the community?
Well let’s step back and see what physicians with thriving practices have done over time. Besides keeping themselves abreast of current drugs and research, they have maintained an excellent relationship with their patients. Some have done it through newsletters while others make their staff call patients periodically just to check on them. Some mail birthday cards and season greetings to their patients.
In today’s world though, there are a lot more intriguing options. What if a doctor’s office becomes a micro publishing house, scours newspapers, journals and research publications, extract relevant news / findings, compile them and send them to their patients. Patients will get fresh and relevant content and will be very appreciative of the good doctor. That will be perfect but can you imagine the resources that will take. Even if you limit yourself to a staff of two or three for this purpose plus the relevant hardware and software, you are talking about $9,000 to $10,000 a month. Add it up and that is $108,000 to $120,000 a year, a significant chunk of change even if you have a thriving practice.
What if you could do all of that for just a fraction of the cost? What the book ‘Long John Twitter’ explains in great length, you can use five or six different applications and blend them together to:
- Scour news sites, blogs, journals and research sites and gather information. You define what kind of information you want to collect. Let’s say you are a cardiologist and you want to gather information that includes keywords like heart disease, cardiology, cardiologists, statins, Lipitor, stents, bypass, and so on.
- The system you set up collects all this information and feeds them to a second system where the headlines are shortened. The URLs (links) to the source of the article are also shortened. Remember Twitter allows you only 140 characters to tweet.
- The system is now ready to send out the shortened headlines and URL’s to your followers and patients.
- You define how often you want the tweets to go out. You don’t want to harass people with 10 tweets a day nor make them forget you with one tweet every quarter. You will find the right balance over time.
- When a follower / patient receives your tweet with the headline and URL, if they click on the URL, they are transported to the original source of the story and they can read all the details they want.
- As you keep sending out these useful tweets, your patients and those who are not your patients but following you will start having greater confidence in you. After all, you are the one who is directing them to all these studies related to their health. You must be reading them yourself too. Aren’t you?
- Many will re-tweet them (forward) to other people they know and your sphere of influence grows.
- Don’t be surprised if people from outside of your catchment area start visiting you and referring other people for treatment and help.
- Your stature within the medical community will also grow. In fact many will become your followers just so they can stay informed through all the good stuff you circulate ever so often.
If you are tech. savvy, you can do all this yourself. Just use the eBook ‘Long John Twitter’ as your guidebook and implement one step at a time. If you don’t have the time or inclination to do it yourself, consulting companies like Interloper, Inc. can do it for you.
In summary, you need to seriously consider Twitter as a tool to keep your patients healthier, informed and more trusting of you. Twitter can grow your practice.

How To Use Twitter for Your Business
November 6, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Heck, until recently I didn’t really understand the true power of Twitter so I figure this would be a good place to clear it all up.
For the purpose of this article let’s take a quick look at the Internet landscape and compare it to something we can all relate to … The city you live in right now.
Think about the parts of town where you go to find things to buy, whether it be a mall, a strip mall, or even the market where companies and individuals are all set up to sell their goods.
Is this really any different than the online stores which exist all over the Internet? I don’t think so.
How about the plethora of newspapers you have to choose from. The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, USA Today, National Enquirer or even your local newspaper.
There are a minimum of 100 online news sites to every single newspaper that exists offline … and in most cases you can access this news for free without trudging across your front lawn to retrieve your paper from the bushes. :)
What if you are looking to visit the “wrong side of the tracks” in your city…
Well you can find that online as well with the porn sites and other undesirable stuff online.
I’m sure you can see the parallels with all these on and offline comparisons, and you are probably still wondering, “Where does Twitter fit in?”
People who sign up for Twitter typically use their 140 character allotment to tell the world what they are doing and in some cases use a link that points to more detailed information. As I mentioned in my previous article, “Confessions of a REFORMED Twitter Spammer” I began using Twitter the wrong way simply because I didn’t understand it.
Since those dark times I woke up when I heard an excellent offline comparison. In that comparison I heard Twitter compared to a cocktail party.
Think back to that familiar time when you arrived at a networking cocktail party and watched that annoying salesperson bounce around from person to person filling everyone in on what they do and what type of business they are looking for, and after cramming their business card in each person’s hand, they leave and go on to the next person.
Most of the time this entire conversation lasts less than 15 seconds and they don’t even take the time to ask the person what they do, or even their name.
Would you ever contact this person? I didn’t think so!
I was that person in the early days with my Twitter use.
I thought it was a tool for me to repeat the information I wanted to spread over and over so my prospective target would be sure to get the message.
Since I didn’t GET IT, I didn’t realize I was annoying people andgiving them every reason to ignore me.
Heck, who wants to be pestered over and over with the same message?
I believe the best way to use Twitter is to provide valuable information for the people you would like to reach. Make sure when someone arrives at your Twitter profile page, they find relevant, useful information with links to more complete information.
You should give Twitter the same time and attention you do the content of your website … unless you don’t pay much attention to that either.
There are many other ways you can use Twitter for your business beside providing “content based” information. Stay tuned this week for more real life examples of how to use Twitter for Your business.

Tips For Getting Those First 100 Monthly Blog Visitors
November 4, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
I monitor a lot of blogs, forums and news sites with my trusty RSS reader. One of my favorite sites is SitePoint, which is a terrific discussion forum for webmasters, programmers and domain name investors.
I’ve had some great conversations on the forums and via IM that have been very enlightening.
In a recent post, one of the SitePoint forum guys was lamenting the fact that he was having trouble getting to 100 unique visitors per day.
There was some good, solid advice that I would like to share and build upon:
1. Make sure your posts are optimized with popular keywords. I would be careful with this one because you don’t want to lose your blogging voice or make your pages read awkwardly by jamming in as many keywords as you can. Do check for the most popular keywords in your universe, though, using a tool like WordTracker. As a poster on SitePoint said, using the competition values in WordTracker allows you to pick keywords that haven’t soaked the web yet.
2. Use a service like PinGoat to ping blogger indexing sites every time you change your site. Pinging is basically extending an invitation to indexing services like Technorati, IceRocket and Feedster to come to your site and index it. The more indexing you get, the more exposure you get. PinGoat is a terrific service that pings them all at the same time.
3. Update your Google Sitemap every few posts and resubmit it. A Google Sitemap is an interesting and amazing phenomenon. Here is how Google explains it:
The Google Sitemaps program is two-way communication between webmasters and Google. You can give us information about your site so we can index it more effectively, and we can show you how we see your site and tell you about any trouble we’ve had crawling it.
Basically you create a special xml file and tell Google to go look at it. It uses the file to better index the site. And it definitely works. There’s even a Plugin for WordPress that will build the perfect sitemap for Google. You can read more about sitemaps by visiting the Google Sitemapspage.
4. Post relevant comments on blogs related to your content area. Look around, find people blogging about the same stuff as you. Monitor their blog sites and participate in the discussion. Be sure to include a link to your site in all of your comments. It’s a great way to correspond with like-minded people and get your name and site name out there.
5. Search for link partners and link exchanges at least once a week. If you find a site you like, include it on your link page and drop the site owner an email. He or she will most likely list your site as well. Join a couple of free or cheap link exchange sites and stick to your subject area when exchanging links. Always visit the prospective link exchange site and ask yourself if you would be doing your readers a service by sending them to that site. If not, don’t link to the site.
6. Write great content, and don’t plug stuff unless you are familiar with it and approve of it. If you write interesting content about subjects that interest people they will always find you. Don’t hustle your readers — if you are going to plug something for money, make sure the product or service is something you would use and recommend. If people sense a hustle they will not convert and they will not come back.
7. Watch your keywords and make sure they are performing. DigitalPoint has a terrific tool that will help you track your keyword placement over time so you can see how your efforts are doing.
8. Perform some basic Search Engine Optimization. Learn how to not only optimize your posts, but optimize your entire site. You can get some great tips and tools at SeoChat.com
9. Shake loose a couple of bucks and buy some ad space. Once you’re certain your blog looks and operates perfectly, spend $100 on Adsense ads and see how that helps.
10. Be patient. It isn’t going to happen overnight. It will take weeks or months to get things rolling.

SEO Tips- How to Write a Press Release for Optimal Web Marketing
November 4, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
What is a Press Release?
Press releases are among the most effective ways – if not the most effective way – to get one-way links from high traffic news sites, but you must follow a certain set of guidelines or it will be nothing more than wasted time and your press release will never be published. A press release is a statement of announcement used for publishing and distributing company information or business news throughout the Internet via web media distribution channels. General news releases, event announcements, business news, new product release announcements, and social media news all qualify as valid content for a press release.
How Press Releases can help your SEO and Web Marketing
Press releases play a very important role in SEO and web site marketing. Currently, one-way links are more valuable to your search e rankings than ever before. This is due to the fact that two-way links – most often referred to as “reciprocal links” – have decreased in value with regard to Google’s “Page rank” system, with most others soon to follow if they have not already. With that in mind, playing an active role in generating news for PR web can serve as your best resource for getting one-way links and generating new traffic to your site without paying a dime. Be aware however, that credible PR web sites have strict criteria for the content that they publish. For example, it absolutely must be newsworthy, grammatically correct, without spelling errors, it must sound professional, and it must give the impression that a decent amount of time was put into it.
The benefit to you is that you may publish your company details including the services you offer, your web address and contact details along with your press release. Be careful not to make your press release sound like an advertisement though, or it will not be considered for publishing. The key here is to go into it with the objective of creating something valuable and informative for the reader.
There are a lot of news websites available that provide free services for publishing your news releases. The real advantage though, is that these websites provide services for distributing that news to subscribers of their news feeds. What this means, is that while you may publish your release to five PR web sites, it will likely end up on twenty or thirty different sites if it follows the criteria stated above. The important thing to remember is that the more valuable and informative that you make your content, the more it will be picked up by additional web sites. Here are some tips to keep in mind when writing your press release:
Tips for writing an effective press release:
1) The press release headline should be short, clear and to the point. Treat press release headlines and sub-heads as the ultra-compact version of your entire press release content.
2) Your press release summary should be informative. Try to avoid the use long sentences and lengthy paragraphs.
3) Start your press release with the “5 Ws” – who, what, when, where, why, and sometimes how. This will make your press release more enlightening and attractive to the editors of the sites you are publishing to.
4) Don’t forget to include your company information below the press release content. Prepare a brief summary of your company services with the contact details, your website name, and email id for communicating. Most PR sites offer a “company bio” section, which appears under the published release.

Searching of Good up-to-date Information in Blogs
November 15, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
There are all kinds of blogs like personal blogs, topical blogs, culture blogs, political blogs, science blogs, and educational blogs, news blogs and much more. One of the things these blogs have in common is that they are generally good sources of information. Not only are they good sources of information but also are good sources of up-to-date information at that. People looking for an alternative source of information will find that blogs can sometimes offer a more in depth view or a refreshing take on current events. One of the major benefits of information from blogs, specially from personal, cultural and political bogs, is that it gives readers insight on the locals’ viewpoint. For example, although news sites can offer accurate information and report facts and statistics about important events such as the 9/11 attack or the latest Tsunami tragedy that hit Asia, personal blogs of people who were actually there or knew someone involved in the tragedies offer a deeper and more compelling insight on the events. Reading political blogs would also give you a chance to know what ordinary citizens of a country really think. The downside with information from blogs is accuracy. Since most blogs are subjective, information garnered from the blogs can be lopsided and even exaggerated. Most blogs do write about facts but give commentaries as well. When reading opinions and commentaries be discriminating and do not believe everything written without thinking or checking out the facts by reading other blogs and sources.One problem with extracting useful information from blogs knows where to start. With more than 10 million blogs online it is impossible to search for specific information without the help of a good blog search engine. A good blog search engine, however, will weed out most of the noise and point you to the blogs that contain the information you need.To help you search for information found in blogs, here’s a short list of the best blog searching tools on the net right now.• Google blog search – google blog search is the fastest blog search engine at the moment and returns incredibly relevant search results. • Technorati.com – Technorati.com is the most established blog search engine. It gives back the most number of results and has the most features among blog engines. However, it can be slow and returns quite a number of irrelevant links. • Yahoo! Blog Search – Yahoo’s blog search is a new feature added to its news search.
