What is “Malware” & How to Stop it

2015-08-24T11:51:00.003-07:00

The term “Malware” is an amalgamation of ‘Malicious’ and ‘Software’. It usually refers to software that infects your computer similarly to a virus, but often disguises itself as seemingly innocent add-ons like browser toolbars, fake antivirus programs that demand money, and other unpleasant interruptions.

What’s the point of malware?

The people who make malware do it for many reasons, but the most common ones are to collect your personal data or direct you to websites they own to make money through advertising.

What are the symptoms of a computer with malware?

Sluggish performance
Being redirected to websites you didn’t want to go to
Unwanted messages
Advertisement pop-ups
Requests / demands for money
Odd warnings / alarms
Unwanted toolbars in your internet browser

Too many search bars

What can you do?

First, Make sure you have a good anti-malware software, they can prevent most of the basic malware. Next, install a malware detection and removal tool and use it to scan and clean your computer.

Top free anti-malware tools:

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0 – Considered to be the BEST anti-malware tool available today. It was invented by a young man who hated how complicated older tools were, so he created his own and it has since become the easiest, most used and most effective tool on the market, providing 99.9% malware protection.

Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition

– Bitdefender’s free antivirus comes in a close second after Malwarebyte’s tool, but while it offers 98.9% protection, it also serves as an antivirus software. Install it on a computer without a preinstalled antivirus software and enjoy its dual protection.

Microsoft Security Essentials – Microsoft offers this malware and virus protection for free, and it has a good reputation as a tool that will remove most malware from your computer. If you’re using Windows 8 (or higher), you don’t need to download it as it’s already pre-installed on your computer.

2014-08-07T07:00:00.000-07:00

Most social agents are focused on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. But Slideshare? A great social platform, SlideShare is overlooked and underutilized.

Tell your communities story!

#1 Design presentation to Impress

SlideShare 101 from Amit Ranjan

Since few marketers consistently upload content to SlideShare, there’s much less competition than on the other social channels. SlideShare can generate some nice content exposure from the beginning.

Use SlideShare to get your content in front of more people.

Slides That Rock from Slides That Rock

Create niche specific / local market content & design an appealing (and resourceful) presentation to upload to SlideShare, you’re very likely to see a few hundred views immediately,with little promoting.

#2: Rank Higher With Keywords and Phrases

Also include your keyword or phrase in the title and description of your presentation, as well as the tags. Make your keyword the first tag for the presentation, and then choose closely related tags to follow.

If you don’t already know how to do keyword research, the video above can help you get started

#3: Use How-To Guides to capture readers

New listing guide for Homeowners from Socially Savvy PR

Visual content is hot and it’s not going away. SlideShare is an obvious fit for visual content.

The presentation below is an example of how CAR uses an info-graphic to explain the Real Estate market.

Info-graphics make it easier for others to understand what you are presenting / sharing.

#4: Grab Attention With List Titles

Create a top 10 Restaurant for your market

Top 10 Homes for Sale this week in "City"

Top 10 Golf Course's

Top Local Attractions in "City"

With just one list presentation, you can lure readers in and get on the radar of the people who you want in your target market. If you’re lucky, they’ll share the presentation with their followers. "Potential online referrals"

#5: Get Featured on the SlideShare Homepage

7 Tips For Getting Featured on SlideShare from SlideShare

Editors tend to pick new presentations to feature on the homepage. With this in mind, make sure you post new content early in the day so it has a full day to be seen by viewers and SlideShare’s editors.

Is Your Google Position Important?

2013-12-20T05:30:00.000-08:00

Increase Your Daily Traffic

2013-12-10T10:48:00.000-08:00

5 different ways to bring in tons of new traffic to your own websites daily

1. Building Your Email Database – Regardless of what happens with SEO best practices, real estate social media marketing, etc. in the future, your database is something you can always count on. When you take good care of your people, they in turn will do the same for you..

Remember that these are real people who signed up with you for a particular reason, and you should do your best to ensure that they continue to receive the best information, tips and news for your local market.

2. Real Estate Video Marketing – As you may have heard in one of our most recent posts, this is one of the most overlooked niches still today, as only 4% of agents are actually taking advantage of this tactic (according to Realtor.com).

Video can draw a ton of visitors, can be reproduced multiple times without duplicate content issues, gets ranked very well in Google and can totally go viral with social sharing. If you are not currently using this, then you must integrate this into your real estate marketing plan ASAP!

3. Real Estate Blog & Guest Blogging – Your website is simply one of the most important ingredients for a successful marketing campaign. Essentially, your domain will become the central hub where all other pages will point back to. Therefore, it must be consistently updated.

Additionally, you will want to network with local professionals in your area in order to post related content to their websites as well. This is a powerful way to build up your authority and influence online and to attract new customers to your site. Plus it’s great for SEO.

4. Google Places – We absolutely love this platform, because you can rank for your real estate marketing keywords in such a short amount of time. It gives you top exposure, a clean business listing and will build credibility for your business as well

5. Facebook & Social Media – Of course, one of the favorite marketing tools is Facebook pages

A way to get other professional interacting with each other in one place and streaming live updates. Additionally, be sure to take advantage of many other social media tools as well.
