Hello, everyone.

Went to Metro today and got a little bag stuck in my hand.
Did not think much about it, I only receive it,  poured it in my hand until I arrived at work.

Once at work I checked the bag and saw that it was spices in there.
Kaddemumma, cinnamon and raisin.

It smells like Christmas!

The entire was a commercial for a big power company’s website and their market at the zoo in Stockholm during Christmas.

This is a very powerful way to get people to pause from everyday stress and to claim the information you want to convey.

Think of something good for your clients at Christmas, a Christmas gift, gift certificate or perhaps a hat for Christmas with the company logo.
This will result in the customer feel special and remember your company next time they need your services or products.

1st

It is important to understand that search engine optimization is very complex and takes much time even if you are an expert in the field.

Therefore, we continuously expand its content to your site with interesting articles which both add value to visitors and are relevant to the keywords that are important to the company. If your useing keywords often it will rank your website well in search engines. Be creative, there are always things that mark can bring in terms of content, which gives a positive effect on the SEO.

2nd

Learn to write properly on the website for both visitors and search engines. This art is the very few who have mastered the full because it involves a lot of fine tuning in the right places. It is possible to take courses in “content writing” or so hires usually companies to it since it requires much time and knowledge and is among the most effective way to retain visitors and placements in search engines.

3rd

SEO consists of two parts, what you do on the page and the links you get from other blogs / websites. To get optimal results, you need to work with both.

4th

Learn the requirements correctly to avoid cowboy firms and to get as much as possible from your SEO investment.

5th

Keep the focus on each separate bottom. So, do not be sprawling on the bottom and count up five very different things that you want visibility, but instead create five separate sub-pages as each one deals with a specific area.

Why should we NOT do definitely?

- Never Copy articles straight from the web and put it on your website. This results in Google rapid, you will either throw out one of the results pages, or key words end up very far down as punishment. Never use automated tool that uploads your part in hundreds of different directories to get valuable “back link”. Many of the directories are marked as spam directories, and you get punished for lying there.

- Using methods that are contrary to Google’s guidelines. If you decide to hire an SEO consultant to improve their position

- how are we to think when choosing a consultant? (Everyone says, we know this …)

Most can, but do they have the time it takes? Review the company’s / person’s past performance in various sectors and the

resources available to companies who work with SEO. A web agency of about 50-10 people who claim to be SEO can certainly, but they have no resources because the workers have to deal with so many other things as well. Make the design, coding design, project management etc.. It is also very time consuming to keep updated on changes in search engine algorithms,

a solo entrepreneur or a company that does not have SEO as the main job may not have the resources to keep up.

Make sure that the SEO consultant will do a proper onpage work *.

Many companies that charge less, works alot with linking but nearly no onpage work at all.

* Onpage-work

The fact that your site is search engine friendly design in terms of both platform and content.

- The internal menus and links are designed so that search engines can follow them.

- The titles, headings and other text content is adapted in such a way that on each unique page on the site is a common thread in the content.

Winter is here and there is constant darkness, the great thing about winter is that people are indoors and updates its web and infrastructure.

Something to remember is to not rush into something just because, be sure to have a well thought out plan for your website and strict targets, eg, Goal, how do I get my visits, how do I control my visits to the site and the site’s goals area.

A good way to do this with facts is to use statistical tools such as Google Analytics.


Google Analytics is an incredibly good service from Google that keeps track of statistics on your blog. The best part of all is that it’s completely free.

What’s so great about Google Analytics?

Google Analytics provides you with incredibly useful information to what is happening on your blog. It also gives you:

* How many visits you have had
* How many unique visitors you have had

Why should I have Google Analytics?

The reason is that with the help of first-class statistics so you can develop your blog so much. Because you get a good overview of what’s happening on your blog, you also get a greater opportunity to change your blog for maximum efficiency. One in particular is fun to see some statistics on his blog, the links here, which city your visitors coming from and so on.

How do I get started?

In order to use Google Analytics so you must have a Google Account. A Google account is 100% free and you can get here. Do you already have Gmail or other Google services so you can just walk in here and hit register.

Then you fill out these forms and then you accept the agreement

Then we come to the stage where we will add our blog to Google Analytics systems

What you should do now is copy the code that will appear on your screen. Then, copy the code just before </ body> tag of each page.

If you use WordPress, please visit the “Design -> Theme editor -> and open” footer.php “. Then go to the bottom and add the code just before </ body>.

If you use blogg.se so, go to “Design -> Code Template -> and add the code on each page, just before </ body>.

That’s it! However, it will take about 24 hours before you will be able to see statistics for the first time.

At other people’s blog is an easy and simple way to get more visitors to your blog. The best thing about it is if you choose blogs that are related to yours and comment wisely, the people who come to your blog will be seeking the exact information you have to offer. In order to successfully comment on other people’s blogs it is important to follow some easy and simple tricks. I successfully commenting on other blogs you will drive traffic to your blog and in turn he will earn money off of your blog if you have advertisements and other moneymaking methods in place. Commenting other peoples blogs is essential to keeping your blog alive and active.

The first thing you will want to do is fine but locating blogs that are in the same niches you. You can probably already find some off of the top of your head or by doing a Google search for them. If you want to look up only blogs is going to use a site like Google’s blog search and Technorati. When you find similar blogs it is important to subscribe to their RSS feeds so that you may be notified when there are new postings. You can also get Google to notify you when a blog is updated by setting up Google alerts. You can learn how Google alerts work by simply typing in “Google alerts” into the Google search engine. I find blogs that target the same readers that you are targeting you are finding people who will want to read what you have to write about. In order to get the most trafficked from commenting other people’s blogs you will want to look for blogs that get a lot of traffic, it helps to be aware of that blogs are Alexa rating. Even if a blog does not receive the kind of traffic and may be a good place for you to comment if the visitors are part of your target audience so it is important to comment on a broad spectrum of blogs that get different levels of traffic.

After tracking down a list of blogs that you would like to comment regularly on you will need to write good comments were these blogs. That means you need to have an opinion because you, your comment should enhance the discussion at hand. You can enhance discussion by taking an argumentative stance, pointing out missing information, making a suggestion or simply discussing your personal feelings on the issue at hand. It is acceptable for you to disagree with a blogger in your comments in fact it helps enhance discussion even. However, you want to be polite when you disagree. It is best to attack and the arguments and not the writer.

When posting your link in a comment you want to use it sparingly. It is best to put a link in the link provided space instead of inside your actual comment. However, there are times when posting your link in the actual comment is useful. This is helpful in cases where a particular blog post of yours will help enhance the discussion. For instance if you have a disagreement blog post or a blog post that has different information or contradicting information than the blog you are posting a comment on then it might be a good idea to link to your particular blog posts.

Once you have begun commenting wisely, you will begin to have unlimited blogs excess. This will give you lots of link backs and lots of visitors. Which generally translates to lots of money if you have money making methods installed on your blog already.

Here’s a graphic box that you can use for a short presentation of your website, or why not on your start page.

The Piecemaker

Documentation on how to embed and customize The Piecemaker

FEATURES

- Fully dynamic due to XML backend
- Short loading times due to external image loading
- Loads JPG, GIF and PNG images
- Supports all tween types from Caurina‘s Tweener class such as Bounce, Elastic, Cubic
- All tween parameters easily set from the XML file
- No adjustments in the FLA file necessary

HOW TO EMBED THE GALLERY?

1. Copy the packages „com“ and „caurina“ from the folder to your classes directory. It works without that, but only if you always move these packages along with the FLA file. If you‘re not familiar with working with classes, check the tutorial at Adobe Livedocs

2. Open the file „piecemaker.fla“ and try to publish it to check, if the classes are referenced correctly.

3. The actual gallery is nothing more than the empty MovieClip on the „gallery“ layer. It has the base class „com.modularweb.imageGalleries.Piecemaker“, which holds all the code. To copy the gallery into your own project, you just need to copy this MovieClip as well as all the elements from the library to your project.

4. Three basic properties of the gallery are assigned on the „actions“ layer. The code from this layer has to be copied to your project, too. These properties are xmlSource, cssSource and imageSource, which hold the paths to the XML file, the CSS file and the folder containing the images to be loaded. Please note that if you embed the gallery to your project, these paths need to be relative to the location of your project.

SETTINGS IN THE XML FILE

The XML file has a node named <Settings>, which surprisingly holds the settings to be made. This node includes the following properties:

1. imageWidth – the width of the images to be loaded

2. imageHeight – the height of the images to be loaded

3. segments – number of segments, in which the images will be sliced

4. tweenTime – number of seconds for each element to be turned

5. tweenDelay – number of seconds from one element starting to turn to the next
element starting

6. tweenType – type of transition from Caurina‘s Tweener class. Find all possible transition types and more information about Tweener in the official documentation.

7. zDistance – to which extend are the cubes moved on z axis when being tweened. Negative values bring the cube closer to the camera, positive values take it further away. A good range is roughly between -200 and 700.

8. expand – to which extend are the cubes moved away from each other when tweening

9. innerColor – color of the sides of the elements in hex values (e.g. 0×000000 for black)

10. textBackground – color of the description text background in hex values (e.g. 0xFF0000 for red)

11. shadowDarkness – to which extend are the sides shadowed, when the elements are tweening and the sided move towards the background. 100 is black, 0 is no darkening.

12. textDistance – distance of the info text to the borders of its background

13. autoplay – number of seconds to the next image, when autoplay is on. Set 0, if you don‘t want autoplay.

ADDING IMAGES FROM THE XML FILE

Images can also be added, changes or deleted within the XML file. Supported file types are JPG, GIF and PNG. The images are loaded from the folder, which is specified in the FLA. Without changing this means images are loaded from a folder named „images“, which is in the same directory is the gallery.
To add an image, you‘ll need to create a new Image node in the XML file or simply duplicate one of the existing Image nodes. Such a node looks something like that:
<Image Filename=”image1.jpg”>
<Text>
<headline>Description Text</headline>
<break>Ӂ</break>
<paragraph>Here is some text</paragraph>
<break>Ӂ</break>
<inline>Here is some more text and aӁ</inline>
<a href=”url” target=”_blank”>hyperlink</a>
</Text>
</Image>

The appearance in terms of font-family, font-style, color, etc. of the tags used within the <Text> node can be defined within the CSS file, which is also specified in the FLA. Without changes this would be the file
piecemakerCSS.css within the same directory of the gallery.
As whitespaces in the beginning and end of tags are being ignored, you‘ll need to replace those with the Ӂ, which is in turn replaced by a space within the gallery.
