Google is experimenting with TV.

The Internet company is teaming up with a satellite television company. According to The Wall Street Journal, Google and Dish Network are testing a new television search service. It involves a box for the television that has Google software. Viewers would use their keyboards to search for shows on satellite TV and on Internet sites like YouTube.

At the moment, only Google employees are testing this new service and there are no plans yet for a wider rollout. But the Journal reports this service could enable Google too target ads to individual households, based on information Google has picked up from the patterns created by kinds of things customers search for and view.

Social Search in Plymouth is Here to Stay

With the explosion of Facebook and Twitter you can no longer ignore the enormous potential in being social. Google wants its share of the social pie, so don’t expect them to remain idle while Facebook and Twitter try to eat into their search market share.

However, it is important to keep in mind that Google will continue to test and tweak results. Not every query will result in Social Search results, and you can expect many changes on the results pages and to the social ranking algorithm in the future. In the interim, get ahead of the game by optimizing your Google Profile for Social Search while competition is fairly low. It will benefit your overall social media and SEO efforts.

*  Plymouth businesses with over ten employees or partners only please.

If you run a local business or some of your target market is local then you should have a listing on Google Maps.  It free and your business could be listed on the first page of Google along with your phone number.

To get listed on Google Maps submit your website through Google’s Local Business Center.  If you already have a Google Account Login and click  “Add New Listing”  and enter your company information.

To get the best results and position in Google Maps make sure you enter as much information as possible about your company.

• Include important keywords in your description.
• Choose the best possible category for your website
• Add information about opening hours, payment types, etc.
• If possible, include images and videos to help your listing stand out.

The more information you provide, the better.  If your business location is in the center of the town, it is more likely that it will appear at the top of the list but this is not necessarily the case.

When choosing categories don’t just select categories from the list provided, choose your own. This can really improve your position, so use your five best keywords.

Submit your website to other local directories. Google Maps compiles its local results by crawling and parsing data from other online directories and databases. A good position in online yellow pages can cause your listing to be placed higher on the list.

Once you have entered your information your listing can appear on Google maps in about an hour.  By making small changes you can check again an see if you have improved your position.

When our customers sign up for our SEO services we add their details to Google Maps and many other directories as part of our service.

Showing up on search engines is one of the most critical ways to increase website traffic and expose your content, product or service to people who might be interested in what you have to offer. Most of the major search engines utilize an algorithm to determine where a website ranks. The search engines have set up specific criteria that a website must meet to get to the top of the list. The criteria are different for every engine, but all engines share several commonalities.

It all boils down to the type and amount of content provided on a given website, the level of optimization done on the site, and the popularity of the website (link popularity/PageRank). Tailoring your website for improved search engine rankings is also known widely as search engine optimization, or SEO.

WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. At Ab Fab Media of Plymouth, Devon, we believe it’s the future of the web. Wordpress makes content managed websites affordable and easy for the common public. With a little research and computer know-how, anyone can now become the master of their own domain. Ab Fab Media uses Wordpress as the framework for many of our web projects. And with the new release of Wordpress 2.9, it’s better than ever. We have compiled a list of a few benefits to owning a Wordpress powered website:

Content Management. Wordpress is very easily content managed. It’s easier than updating a MySpace or Facebook page in my opinion. That saves clients a great deal of time and money. Rather than paying a firm or freelancer to constantly update their site and waiting up to several weeks for those changes to be made, the client can now make updates instantly by themself.

Search Engine Optimisation or SEO. Wordpress is designed to be very search engine friendly the way Ab Fab Media set up your WordPress website there is no reason why you should not rank well on Google. Meaning, your Google rankings will generally be higher than a Flash site or traditional HTML site. And the more people that can easily find your website, the more traffic you will have and hopefully more revenue. Also, plugins we use can greatly help your search engine optimisation needs as well. Which brings me to my next point…

Plugins. Plugins are great. If you want something for your site, a Wordpress plugin probably exists for it. There are plugins for web advertising, flickr, twitter, e-commerce, newsletters, weather and every news report you can think of, RSS feeds, SEO, Google Analytics and so many more it’s wonderful. Many of these plugins are developed as “widgets” that can easily be added to your site using the Wordpress managment system, Ab Fab Media do all this for you.

Themes. We all grow tired of our website designs over time, but changing the design has always been such a hassle — until now. With Wordpress themes you can instantly activate a new web design while still retaining all of the content within the site. There’s no hassle of copying and re-sending all of your content to a new web designer or developer. This is great news for you and me, because there’s nothing more boring to a designer than copying and pasting content.

Blogs. Wordpress is most widely known as a blogging platform, but it’s ease of use and updates to the Wordpress engine have made it a great tool for managing entire websites, not just a blog. That being said, blogs are still very easily integrated in to Wordpress. Blogs are a great way to keep people coming back to your site and draw new visitors.

Cost Effective. Although Wordpress can be downloaded for free, the cost comes in to effect for the time it takes to design and develop custom themes, installation, styling, plugins, hosting, etc. This is where Ab Fab Media comes to the rescue. We can quickly and professionally install and set up Wordpress. Ab Fab Media  designs and develops custom themes for considerably less than than the cost of other custom designed content managed website solutions. I’ve worked for large web design firms that don’t even accept web projects under £15,000. Many of the sites that we designed and developed within weeks while working for these firms were sold to clients for over £20,000. A Wordpress website is just as effective and well designed, if not more, for a fraction of the cost. Contact us for a quote regarding a custom Wordpress theme design and installation. We will be happy to suggest the best solution for your budget.

These are only a few of the perks to owning a Wordpress site. If you currently have an old HTML or Flash website and decide to make the switch to Wordpress, you’ll wonder why you spent so much time and money on updates in the past.
