noreply@blogger.com (Vimal Dwivedi) — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 15:54:00 +0000

We have already stuck with the new Timeline Feature of Facebook For profiles and now Facebook is rolling out Timeline for pages. The TimeLine for pages is designed to change the overall look of pages with the Facebook TimeLine Design. This may be a good news for the peoples who love the Timeline design of Facebook profiles but it’s really sad for people who don't like Facebook timeline, there is an option for them to stay away from activating the preview mode. but On March 30, 2012, all Facebook Pages will get a new design. So you like it or hate it , you have to use Facebook Timeline for your Pages.

What’s New ?

The Timeline for Facebook pages comes with many Features and it’s really cool look for your Blog and Site Page. The pages will now look similar to your profile and they have a cover photo where you can highlight anything by using Picture, the profile pic is where you can add, your blog logo or header Image, you can also highlight a post or an Image to show up highlighted and it will be highlighted for a week.

Here are some of My favourite Features of Facebook Timeline for Pages :

Admin Panel

This was a real mess in the old Facebook Page design where you have to visit different tabs to get insights and settings of your Page, but with new Facebook Timeline Design you will get Admin Panel, one thing which is great for a page because now you have Insights, New Likes, your activity everything at on place.

Messages

Every time you like or doesn’t like anything on the pages or just wanted to know something from the page, there was no option to get privately but now with new Facebook Timeline design for pages you will get Message option for your page and this is really cool and awesome feature for brand pages because now your users can contact you through Private messages from your Blog Page. but if you doesn’t like messages for your blog then you can remove it by visiting admin page.

How To Use Pinterest To Drive More Traffic

noreply@blogger.com (Vimal Dwivedi) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:46:00 +0000

Social Media Networks always been a great way to drive traffic to your Blog , but do you know you can get even more traffic form Pinterest in Comparison to top Social Networks. Let me guess, you heard about Pinterest , but you haven’t tried it yet ,everyone is talking about using it for marketing and getting tons of traffic and, you just don’t see it. Ok so let me enlighten you more about this awesome Social Network in this post.

Pinterest : An Introduction

You have known boring link Bookmarking for a very long time ,now it’s time to think about visual bookmarking . Pinterest provides a bulletin board where you can visually see all the great projects, recipes, tips, and techniques all in one pretty space.

“Boards” are like categories for different stuff , and Images you Pin are called as “Pins” .it’s very easy for new users to consume these sets of content visually as structured sets, and to share these sets with others.

Anyone can Like, and comment on your Pin ,it also have a great feature called Repining which allows others to share your Pin .

Who Is Using Pinterest ?

Pinterest is used by everyone ,from shopaholics and DIY enthusiasts to small business owners. According to Google Ad Planner the user age groups are between 25 to 44,and the majority of the users are females,60% of its users have some college and largest percentage of household income is between $25 to $75k..

So according to this data no matter what kind of market you are looking for, Pinterest will be profitable for you.

How to Use Pinterest To Drive Viral Traffic

Driving viral traffic from Pinterest is very Easy you just have to Follow some steps Below .

1. Populate Boards With Your Interest

Pinterest is like every other social networks, you have to make your personal brand, and to make it happen decide what topics you're most interested in, and then dedicate yourself to those spaces.I have seen People love to follow rich, full Boards than sparsely populated Boards.So I will recommend that you have to dedicate your Boards to a super specific niche, to get more viral traffic form Pinterest.

2. Use the Browser Extension

Pinterest offers a Pin It Button, just Drag and drop it onto your Bookmarks bar.So, every time you come across with a great article or any kind of great image, click "Pin It," choose an image (left), attach a description and add the Pin to one of your Boards. You can also add Pint It button to your Blog ,which allow readers to pin the article on Pinterest easily.

3. Connect to Social

When you create your Pinterest account, you can choose to connect your Twitter and Facebook accounts,along with your personal website. Not only do the account widgets appear below your profile bio, but you can also choose to share your Pins across the networks, or to embed them onto your website.

Caution : Don’t allow Pinterest to invite your Facebook Friends because it will spam your friends Inbox with a lot of Pinterest news and invites.some of your friends may not like it.

4. Add Contributors

You have the choice to add contributors to your Board by editing a selected Board and then adding a Pinterest account. Keep in mind, however,that you have to be following at least one of the user's Boards before adding them as a contributor.(For e.g you can add your site Admins and Friends as Contributors ).Adding Contributor to a board allows users to add pins to that specific board.

5. Repeat Pins Or Repin

Repining is one of the most interesting and useful way to get more traffic form Pinterest .the best way to get more eyes on your profile is to add new Pins as often as possible. Fresh content is guaranteed to get more original Pins. So you have to share most useful and Fresh content most likely same as your Blog Post.

6. Find Pinners

Pinners are the users who are going to repin your pins and share with others ,it will increase your chances to get more hits.To find Pinners with similar taste and interests, seek out the users behind your favorite pins. Then look at the users that Pinner follows. Another way to find interesting Pins or Pinners is by going to the Popular category to discover trending Pins. However, be prepared to encounter a wide variety of Pins. Or to narrow down the search, go to the Everything category and search by topic (i.e. Blogging or Make Money Online). When you see a Pin you like, view that Pinner’s other Boards, who they follow, and so on.

7. Follow A Board Or Follow All

Pinterest provides every user ability to follow a Pinner's specific boards, instead of anyone’s entire content output. It’s quite a bit of a challenge for you to prepare a great board which everyone love to Follow.

8. Use Pinterest Button On Your Blog

Pinterest offers several buttons which you can use on your Blog, I am sure you have seen Follow Me On Pinterest option in my Blog. Adding button will allow every user to Follow you directly from your Blog.

To Add “Follow Button” on your Blog visit Pinterest goodies Page.

What Else You Can Do With Pinterest

Pinterest offers many feature which you can use to get more traffic to your Blog , you just have to get it Right .

Search Pins by Site

Go to pinterest.com/source/helpinghandreviews.blogspot.in/ to discover all the Pins that originated on our site. Once you're done taking a peek at our content, type in any website to see whether anyone has pinned from it.

Likes

Liking a pin will allow you to separate your favourite content from the crowd, you have the option to make a list of your likes and it will appear in a separate Pinterest feed.

Mentions

Similar to Twitter, mention users you follow by typing “@” in front of their user names.Add the mention either to a Pin/Repin description or to a comment. The user will receive a notification.

Sell Pins

Add a "$" or a "£" to the Pin description and Pinterest will automatically add a price banner to the photo. The Pin will then appear in the Gifts category. Within the Pin, remember to link to the website where fans can purchase.

Mobile Pins

Along with the basic Pinterest Pin and Board functions,you can also take a picture with your iPhone, add a location and Pin via mobile.

Conclusion

According to Shareaholic referral traffic report , Pinterest Drives More Traffic Than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn Combined.

The above shown statics are enough to show you why you need to be on Pinterest. I’ve been using Pinterest for couple of weeks and very impressed with the traffic I have got with only few Pins.

What’s Your Take ?

Managing another Social media profile can be a pain, but you can’t deny the referred traffic from the Pinterest. Do you already Use Pinterest ? Have any Pinterest tutorials you would like to share? Feel free to link them below with your Comments !

We are glad to come up with another post of our series of articles Know The Web , Today In this post we are going to cover 5 almost unknown specialized Google services that can be used for specialized search.Google or I call it Search Engine giant have many products in almost every field ,some of them we use everyday , but there are still many services which are very useful and yet you don't know about them.

Google has been testing its products in every field and some are in beta test whether some of the services like Zeitgeist are closed.Here are the 5 Almost Hidden Google Search Engines :

Google Movies

This product is a search engine that allows you to find movie-related information faster and more easily,this is one such service that allows you to know the movies that are being played near your place you just have to fill zip code or city/state and click the "Search Films" button). It also provide information like reviews, rating, cast, so you can know where your favourite movie is being played. even if you are in middle of traffic you can search through your mobile.

Google Moon

As the Name suggests Google Moon is a service similar to Google Maps which shows satellite Images of the Moon , even though you can use Google earth to see 3D images of the Moon .The landing site of each of the Apollo missions is shown on the satellite image, providing more information on each mission as the user zooms in. Another such service is Google Mars.

Google Patent

This is really amazing search service which allows you to access over 7 million patents of past and present.Google is working with United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for providing such product.It displays search results with drawings, cross references and similarities to other patents.There is also a advanced Patent Search option which allows you to search specifically for a patent if you have needed data.

Google Scholar

This search engine allows you to search articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.However sometimes the results that it finds will either be behind an academic password/pay wall or be a link to a book which is not available online. Nevertheless it is a great research point for deep interest on a subject.In our previous article of Know The Web we have discussed about such service.

Google Product Search

This Service allows you to search for the products and compare prices and search for the places where you can buy the product.Enter any Product you are looking for and Google will give you hundreds of places from where you can buy that product with very minimum price. you can also shop online by using different services and Google Checkout.

Search Tips and Tricks For Wolfram Alpha !

noreply@blogger.com (Vimal Dwivedi) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:49:00 +0000

Wolfram Alpha is a computational knowledge search engine and in my series of articles Know The Web , I have mentioned it as an alternative of Google .This search engine has got great potential and it’s a great tool which combines knowledge with mathematical computation and wraps it all in easy English.Wolfram Alpha is one of the most intelligent websites that the Internet world is seeing right now.However the truth is that the site is not being used to the fullest of its potential by the masses around the world mainly because of the lack of knowledge among the people.

So I have spent some time digging this search engine and listed some set of tips and tricks that can be used to get more with the Wolfram Alpha.

#1 : What To Search ?

Before using Wolfram Alpha for all your queries you must note one thing that it’s not Google and you should avoid searching for vague search terms ,public figures, actors, singers, events etc. on which of course Google has an iron hand.Wolfram is a lover of maths and science and hence relevant queries from these two fields provides excellent answers. in one line you can say that Wolfram Alpha knows all about maths. Britney? Not so much.

#2 : Simple Always Rocks!

Wolfram Alpha is designed to figure out your queries and provide you best results however if you avoid exceptional words and keep your query simple then it will give you best results , for instance let’s assume you are looking for temperature of your city and you typed as “temperature in the city of New York at the moment” , you are not going to get result as you expected however if you just try to search about “Temperature New York “ you will get the summary of temperature in New York . So if you keep your query as simple as possible you will get the best results.

#3 : Wolfram Alpha and Computation

As I have said earlier that it’s a Computational Search Engine and it provides best results which involves Mathematical and scientific terms ,I have tried some great queries which involve great computation to figure out by a human mind ,and was amazed with the results , I have listed here some queries check them out ,

#4 : Wolfram Alpha And Your Family Relationships

If you wanted to figure out a relationship problem which is very tricky you can try using Wolfram and I am sure you will be surprise with the results .Wolfram Alpha has a Genealogy engine that can trace your family relationships. To make it easier, you also get a “˜tree’ diagram. Just the thing to find out the right introductions at family dos.

#5 : Calculating data transfer time

If you are looking to figure out the time to transfer a file with your data connection , then you can use Wolfram for calculating data transfer time ,Just Ask Wolfram ; Simple

#6 : Comparison Is Easiest Task!

Wolfram Alpha makes it easy to compare items.it’s not about comparing two strings and numbers you can compare anything you want , that’s right just put some random string like “Compare Google Yahoo” or “Compare Copper Zinc”

Suppose that you need to know the lengths of the GT road and the NH5 you can type the same and the two roads get highlighted in the map along with their details which can then be compared to find the desired results.

#7 : Looking For Strong Password ?

Not so long ago I have asked Are You Really Secure With Your Password ? in one of my articles and in that I have mentioned the security threat related to Passwords ,so if you are looking for a Strong Password then you can use Wolfram Aloha as a Password Generator , Just specify the number of characters you need in your password ,and you will get great results.

These are some Computational string I have tried to search on Wolfram Alpha and got results which are just amazing.

#8 : What else you can do with Wolfram Alpha ?

The area of using Wolfram Alpha is very broad , Including Mathematical and Scientific Computation ,Computing any random query and you can also use this search engine to get answers about Following areas ;

Gather information on a general concept

Any Conceptual writing needed some logical data which you can find in Wolfram Alpha

Research details on specific topics

If you wanted to get details about any Research topic then you should give Wolfram Alpha a try and I am sure you will get best results.

Monitor the data transfer rate on your network

The data amount that can be sent from your system and the data amount that can be received can also be monitored using Wolfram Alpha which give you the average up and down rates .It helps you to plan a huge internet related task and you can estimate the time needed for that task .

Get URL Information

IF you are owning a website then you can get information about your site like your site’s Alexa rank the number of visitors on-board and the total number of visitors to the site as well.

I have used Wolfram Alpha as one of my Favourite resources and it’s great search engine which worth writing this post.

What’s Your Take ?

I am sure many of you have already tried this Search Engine but if you didn’t then surely give it a try.

Impact of Google Plus on SEO of Your Blog !

noreply@blogger.com (Vimal Dwivedi) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:16:00 +0000

Google Plus is Google’s social network that was launched in 2011.The idea was to rival Facebook and cut into their social media market share.So they introduced the Plus One button (similar to the Facebook “Like” button), then announced the Google Plus social media network and finally the Google Plus brand pages. (Think Facebook pages.)

We’re already starting to see the Google Plus impact on search engine optimization with personalized search, and if G+ continues to grow, you can only expect to see more influence.

Impact Of Google+ on Search Results

To See how Google has changed the game with personalized search and social media Let’s take an example :

When I do a Google search for SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) ,while logged into my Google account, I see Kira Permunian site as one of the top results.

However, when I log out of Google and perform the exact same search, his site is nowhere to be found in the top 10.
This is an example of personalized search in motion. I am a frequent visitor of his website. Kira Permunian and I are also connected on many different social media platforms, which is influencing my results and making them more personal.

Because of “Search ,Plus your World “ no two people are seeing the exact same results anymore when they’re logged into Google. This is huge because it means that it’s getting harder to dominate the search engine results.

Now, does that mean you need a large presence on Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, etc. to get good rankings in Google ?.
No. At least not yet. ;-)
However you cannot deny the influence that it’s having on Google’s
search results .

Which Side You Have Chosen ?

A lot of people have chosen to ignore G+ for now. Despite thousands of users and raving fans, it is still way behind Facebook and Twitter in terms of adoption.

Others have decided to jump on the bandwagon (Like Me) simply because it’s Google. Like it or hate it, Google is the #1 search engine and it’s hard for many to ignore anything they launch.

There are Many Others who fear that if they don’t adopt, they’ll fall behind their competition and/or lose their rankings.

Here’s the reality

It’s way too early to know what kind of influence having a Google Plus account and owning a Brand Page will have on your rankings.Having said that, there’s nothing wrong with giving it a try. If nothing else, create your brand page .

Importance Of links On Your Google+ Page and Profile

It’s also important to note that links on your Google Plus profile and brand page are dofollow unlike other popular social networks. That means posting your Blog Post link on Google+ will help you to be featured on the search results more often when one of your friend search something related to your blog’s niche.

What I have Done ?

I am always been influence the way Google effects our Daily life and to try something new I have created a Profile and Page for My Blog on Google+.

What’s Your Take ?

What’s your views about Google’s Search,Plus Your World ? Have you made a Google+ Profile or Page For your Blog?

What kind of SEO tips are you using for the Google+ ?

Know The Web # 3 : 5 Search Engines Beyond Google !

noreply@blogger.com (Vimal Dwivedi) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 16:27:00 +0000

Google has always been our favorite search engine and it’s really worthy of being most popular search engine because of it’s searching speed and reliability , but Google lacks where you have to find about specific topic and you need it without any web crawling , because of this “lack”there are few search engines which provide great information about a specific topic and the most impressive part is that the alternatives don't compete by trying to out-Google at basic Web searching. Instead, they do useful things that Google doesn't.

I'm nowhere near as dependent on any of these five free services as I am on Google -- but I use and recommend them all.

#1 : Wolfram|Alpha

It’s a "computational knowledge engine," in other words if you are looking for some computation or wanted to calculate something , then you can go to Wolfram|Alpha and perform calculation without even crawling web to find a solution of your computational problem.

It's a vast repository of knowledge skewing towards the mathematical and scientific that you can explore by entering questions.

#2 : TurboScout

This search engine allows you to search in different search engines at one place. you have to only enter keywords once, then you can check the results in several search engines.

TurboScout is a great way of comparing different search results for targeting best relevant results for your query.

If you wanted to get best search results for your research topic or any thing you are searching; you can do it by using different search engines at TurboScout.

#3 : Ixquick

If you aware of the fact that Google tracks your search results and even your IP and if you wanted to search Anonymously then you can use the self-described “most private search engine” in the world, Ixquick does not store users’ browsing histories, nor does it keep track of IP addresses, making it an ideal option for web browsers who want to keep their information private. In fact, all searches are encrypted to provide you with complete privacy.

#4 : UFO Seek

If you are looking for Paranormal Activity topics for your search results ,then instead of using Google you can Direct search it on UFO Seek ,which is the number one search engine for Paranormal Activities around the Globe.it’s a daily updated search engine which provides various results and articles related to any Paranormal Activity . the search results are filtered by various categories which you can choose without even searching for query and get instant results.

#5 : Academic Index

If you are looking for search results about any research paper and if you try it searching on Google you will be directed to some weird Sites which will offering you some custom research papers about your searching query .

then instead of searching Google you can try using Academic Index which includes results from databases that only look at research-quality reference and information sources selected by professional librarians and educators. Since you select the academic area, results are limited to that area , This search engine will ease your searching of a research topic.

I have been using these sites to get quality results about my query and I’ll recommend these services for making your search a fun and reliable and you can also give Google rest for some time.

What’s your take ?

What kind of alternative do you use for Google ?

Got any other Google alternatives that you find essential? Leave a comment and let us know about them.

Google Embeds Google+ Directly Into Search !

noreply@blogger.com (Vimal Dwivedi) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:29:00 +0000

Google keep showing how important Google Plus is to them ,and at 10th Jan they have launched a brand new feature to their search engine which called as Search, Plus Your World .

This feature will start highlighting private social network content in search results by default for logged-in users , this will give search results some personal touch.

The change is live now, though not everyone will see it until it fully launches over the next few days. The new search option will make life easier for some people ,it will allow you to search private content shared by your Family or friends ,

it can probably easiest to understand with an example, Say I wanted to search about “Anna Hazare” ,this would probably pull up links to the blogs, the news, and a variety of Fan sites. but for my personal search it would also include my personal posts ,Images ,Likewise, any blog posts my friends had shared on Google+ about the Anna Hazare would show up in my results too.

This may not looks like a big deal but over time Google will include all Google products like Google Docs, Gmail, Contacts, Music, Voice, Wallet, and so on , in the search results ,so Google is going to increasingly become a search engine for all of your stuff.

So far Google had added only 3 new features in search results ,Here is a quick overview of the three new features.

#1 : Personal Results

Personal results feature enable you to search for the information related to you on Google+ ,it displays results of your search query with photos and updates from Google+ that include your own and those that have been shared with you on Google+, and you're the only one with access to these specific results.

#2 : Google+ Profiles

let's assume you are searching for a particular person , or looking forward to join someone which have same interest as yours ,these results shows you profile of the person in your search result and an option to Circle them.

#3 : Pages and People

If you are looking to follow some of the great artists or brand pages and if you have searched query for that celebrity then you will get an option to circle there pages from directly within the search results.

The Toggling option

Google has also included an option to toggle between normal results and the results which include your personal data.

If you want exclude personal results then you have an option to switch to normal results and you can permanently turn it off in your Google settings.

Conclusion

Google had begun to change the world of searching and it will have huge impact on the searching era.

this will reform the search results and also increase the importance of Google+ pages and profiles in the business field.

If you haven’t created a Google+ Page and a Google+ badge for your blog do it now…

So for so good to say that for the marketing strategy we have to give Google+ more importance than before.

What’s your opinion about the recent change Google Have made ?

Do you like this Feature ? Have you made a Google+ Page for your site ?

Super Secret Way to Find Content To Write About

noreply@blogger.com (Vimal Dwivedi) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:33:00 +0000

There are so many ways to find out content to write about , but some are kept hidden by Bloggers , I have came across one of the secrets recently about exploring new content and it’s really an awesome way to find content for your blog post or An eBook you are willing to write but lacking with the content.

I am glad to inform you all, that the secret is not gonna be secret anymore because you are going to read about this here.

The Secret Way

If you're struggling with figuring out what to write about, whether it's for your next blog post, or that eBook you're working on, try this method out:

1. Go to Amazon.com and type in keywords that are related to your niche. For example, if your site or eBook was about flyfishing, you'd type in flyfishing in the search field.

2. Locate the top books in the search results, and click on one of them. This will open up the page that shows you what it's about, how much it costs, etc.

3. Look inside the cover. The cool thing that Amazon does is that it shows us the first few and the last few pages of most of their books. And what page is always shown when you "look inside"?

The Table Of Contents

The table of contents will show you exactly what kinds of things people are talking about within that niche. So, for our flyfishing example, in one of the top books, I see the following:

Part 1: Flyfishing

1. Introduction

2. Understanding Fly Tackle

3. How to Fly Cast

4. Fly-Fishing Tactics

5. The Biology of Fish

...and so on and so forth.

Now, you don't want to just copy each of these parts of the table of contents verbatim and use them yourself. They are too general! They should, however, give you ideas on what you can write about.

So for example, here are some blog post titles or chapters of eBooks that I've derived just from this part of the table of contents:

5 Types of Fly Fishing Tackle and the One That Works Best

What Exactly Triggers a Fish to Eat Your Artificial Lure

Why That Fish Won't Even Look at Your Fly

The Beginner's Guide to Casting a Fly Rod

How to Practice Fly Casting

8 Fly-Fishing Tips to Give Yourself the Best Chance to Catch Fish

Advanced Fly Tackle - For Serious Fisherman Only

You get the idea.

We're basically getting a boost of inspiration from looking inside the covers of these books. If you think about it, a lot of money went into helping the authors figure out how to organize and determine what they were going to write about, so now you can use that as your own starting point to make even better content for your eBook or blog.

So try it out. Go to Amazon, enter a keyword, look inside the covers, find the table of contents, and get inspired.

I hope you've enjoyed this tip. There are definitely more to come. Thanks, and best of luck to you! Cheers!

I Made No Resolutions For The New Year!

noreply@blogger.com (Vimal Dwivedi) — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:21:00 +0000

As the New Year’s is near everyone should have made their Resolutions and may have set their goals for the New Year, but I don't think I'm making resolutions for 2012. Now, I might decide at the very last minute that there is something - anything - that I must work on for 2012. Presently, though, I think I'm going to let it be.

Why No Goals ?

My Friends asked me and may be you are also wondering why I haven't set any Goals for my Blog ?, The answer is very simple as the world is ever changing and evolving Now I am working on a few broad concepts instead of many micromanaged items. I limited my number of resolutions and tried to focus on "do's" rather of "don'ts".

I believe the reason I've rebelled against New Year's resolution is because I wasn't totally dedicated to them. I can't recall ever having a resolution that I established at the beginning of the year that was crucial enough for me to follow it for a whole year. Yet, I'd find myself creating the same resolutions again and again.

I am not trying to discourage you from making a New Year's resolutions.it maybe worked well for you but I want to consider developing resolutions when the need, rather than when the time, arises.

What’s New You Can Expect ?

I am working on a series of Articles for my Blog , and you can expect more Quality Tips and Reviews here ,which is one and only aim of this blog.

From one of my Favorite and motivational quote :

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.

I am Wishing you ,A Happy New Year 2012!
