The latest web development standards, SEO ranking factors and social integrations can be a bit much to keep up with. In 2011, innovative applications for website optimization, user interaction and social media are springing up left and right.

I’ve kept watch and tried out many new web development techniques. I’ve also held an active interest in engaging with readers directly on site and through social networks as much as possible.

In this article, I share the optimization techniques and resources that have been most beneficial to me as a web developer and blogger.

Site Header Tips

1. Optimize your title. By default, WordPress and other CMS’s append your website name to the end of title tags on posts and pages. Using your choice of SEO optimization plugin, such as All In One SEO or WordPress SEO, you can configure post titles to contain just the title of your post.

This technique has proven to be beneficial for ranking well for key terms within post titles. It works because you will eventually receive backlinks with better anchor text and more relevancy on social network shares.

2. Set a default image URL for Facebook & LinkedIn sharing. In the past, images accompanying my articles when displayed on social sharing services like Digg, Facebook, bitly, and others always seemed to be the wrong one or missing entirely! The problem annoyed me to the point that I had to seek out a solution.

I was ecstatic to finally work out a simple way to define the proper post image every time. Plug this code into your site header to define the image URL.

3. Set an author link attribute. (New) Google, Bing and Yahoo recently announced a joint initiative hosted at Schema.org. This HTML tagging platform will work as a framework for defining the structure of a website and individual bits of data. This initiative to create a more open web filled with rich data is just getting started.

Google is getting started right away with a new way to connect authors with their content across multiple websites. Simply define rel=”author” when linking the author’s name in post display as shown here.

Site Speed Tips

4. Track page speed with updated Google Analytics code. (New) Last month Google introduced a revolutionary new feature as part of the upgraded Google Analytics, tracking website load times.

With a little adjustment to your tracking code you can begin receiving reports on site speed analytics. Get this rolling and watch as the next few tips greatly reduce page load times.

_gaq.push(['_trackPageLoadTime']);

5. Minify JavaScript and CSS files. WordPress Minify is a must-have plugin for any site using JavaScript files and detailed CSS.

Automagically have all these files compressed and combined. This will reduce the number of HTTP requests, significantly speeding up page speed performance.

6. Compress images and serve them across multiple sub-domains. Another highly recommend solution for improving website speed is the WP Smush.it plugin which compresses images as you upload them.

I still recommend saving all images for the web using PhotoShop before uploading. Then let Smush.it work a little extra magic to reduce the file size further without noticeably compromising quality.

Additionally, hosting some images on different sub-domains allows them to be loaded simultaneously instead of one at a time.

7. Place non-critical JavaScript calls in the footer. By placing your JavaScript calls just before your closing tag you make sure all critical content and design layout is rendered before JavaScript enhanced elements. This is as important for user experience as page loading time.

Ironically, the new Google +1 button code suggests placing the script tag in your header. Put it in the footer instead!

Increase Conversions

8. Split test your business and lead generation copy. We’re hearing more and more about split-testing or A/B tests in recent years as easier tools are made available. The smallest of changes in copy, color or positioning of call to action elements can sometimes yield big returns.

Here are some economical choices for getting started with split testing your website content.

Google Website Optimizer

A/B Theme Testing Plugin for WordPress

Visual Website Optimizer

9. Reduce bounce rate by engaging readers. There are a lot of great methods for engaging website visitors, encouraging them to stick around longer and click-through to further pages on your site.

I’ve written some common sense suggestions for reducing bounce rate in the past. Simple things like improving your navigation or adding images to content can help.

I have been pleased with increased engagement here at adsense97779 using the following applications.

Wibiya Toolbar (red toolbar at bottom of window) – An incredibly useful toolbar with lots of applications.

Punchtab Rewards (“Rewards” icon at bottom left of window) – Encourage return visits and sharing content with Punchtab’s innovative new social rewards layer.

HelloBar – Run a promotion in the header of your site to get immediate attention. Simple app with lots of thought put into it.

I have 5 beta invites to HelloBar for those interested. Please leave a comment and let me know you’d like one.

Extend Your Reach

10. Go mobile. I use the WPTouch plugin which automatically generates a mobile optimized version of DotSauce Magazine. Have you looked at your Google Analytics browser reports to see if many visitors are using mobile devices? It’s likely more than you think.

Greatly improve their user experience and conserve server resources by implementing a mobile optimized display.

11. Get social. Love them or hate them, social networks are driving traffic and allowing your following to engage and endorse your content. Discover the best widgets and sharing buttons for your website and include them in prime positions such as at the top of your sidebar or directly after post content.

I recommend you highlight the big 4; Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and email.

Facebook Social Plugins

Twitter Website Resources

LinkedIn Share button

Google +1 Button (New)

Sharedaddy (Part of JetPack for WordPress)

12. Become a curator of the latest news and resources. This suggestion goes hand-in-hand with getting social. The most influential people on social networks are found generously sharing editorials, news and resources. It’s a great way to build a following and get recommended.

Every day I share a selection of domaining, online business and web development resources on Twitter, the DotSauce Facebook page, LinkedIn, social bookmarking and social news websites. I’ve been doing this for years and have found the practice to be very rewarding.

I’m now using Keepstream to publish a monthly roundup of the best links here on DotSauce. You can also find over 90 industry leading publications at the new adsense97779 blog News site.

Google Launches Pay For Page Speed Service

Big news is making rounds in technology circles today. Google has unveiled another innovative new service targeted at website performance.

Google’s official Page Speed announcement reports speed improvements of 25% — 60% on some websites. The service works by routing your DNS requests to Google’s server where they rewrite your website and serve it to visitors faster with optimized CSS, image, text and script compression, caching and other tricks.

[Header image via Flickr]

Is Google’s Page Speed Service really necessary? I’m not convinced it’s for the masses yet because most of these techniques are available freely. However, I’m sure there is a large market for individuals or businesses who are willing to leave website optimization up to Google. It can provide some peace of mind in knowing that all the many best practices for optimization are taken care of for you.

Try It Out

You can see how the Page Speed Service would improve your website performance now at WebPageTest.org.

For now, the service is free for a select number of webmasters who sign up here. Google plans to charge a fee for usage in the near future.

My Page Speed Service Results

I ran the DotSauce Magazine homepage through the comparison test. You can view my results here. Google was only able to speed up the site by about 0.1 seconds, a 1% improvement. Not surprising really as I have taken steps to increase website performance manually.

Page Speed Service Comparison

Don’t get me wrong, I did see some benefit to the service. The start-rendering time as reported by the comparison did show a marked improvement. Some images began loading 14.9% faster as you can see in the results, particularly on the visual comparison.

I attribute the already fast load time to optimization techniques and resources recently featured in my article, 12 Tips and New Standards for Optimizing Your Website. I highly recommend you implement most, if not all, of these tips if you haven’t already.

How did Google Page Speed work for your website load time? Would you pay a subscription fee for this service? Please leave a comment below with your thoughts.

This should prove to be a valuable service that will help boost business by reducing website bounce rate and increasing search rankings.

5 Tips on Using Social for SEO

5 Tips on Using Social for SEO

Social media is often overlooked in its roll as an element of SEO. In this article I share 5 areas of interest along with some suggestions for using social media marketing and social networking to increase you presence and rankings on search engines.

1. Set the Right Twitter Name

Just the name, no frills.

One of the most powerful tips for ranking high for your personal or brand name is to carefully craft your Twitter profile name. Not the username, but the name associated with the profile that gets displayed as the page title.

Use the keyword, name or phrase you want to rank for. No other words, characters or icons.

Image via Flickr.

Over time your profile will gain backlinks from yourself and your own website and likely dozens more from Twitter profile directories and applications. An active profile almost always has a shot at ranking on page 1.

2. Fresh Content and Embedding Twitter Updates

One of the latest updates to Google’s search algorithm is rewarding fresh content. Google recently reported they’ve implemented this update which applies to queries posed in a way in which the newest content would be the most beneficial for the searcher.

The latest news and most-recent resources in your industry may be receiving a big traffic boost.

In other news from Google, it has been confirmed that indexing of dynamic content such as AJAX/JavaScript is now live. This includes elements like Twitter status updates widgets and advanced commenting platforms like Disqus and Facebook Comments.

Social media updates are often a source of fresh content, so these two Google updates go hand-in-hand.

3. Sharing for More Than Backlinks

Sharing your content is probably one of the most common, yet most under-utilized SEO techniques. Many website owners believe that there is not any direct SEO benefit to sharing links on Facebook or Twitter because the links are shortened, redirected, and tagged no-follow. What they’ve failed to realize is that SEO is no longer all about backlinks.

Search engines now monitor social media activity and may reward unique and valuable shares. It’s also been confirmed that no-follow links do provide some value.

Be sure to have the latest sharing button embed codes and make use of them to spread your content.

4. Engagement on Google+

The +1 button may not seem like much now, but overtime its value will prove great in terms of SEO. As more people adopt Google+ as their social network of choice, the addition of +1’s and share data will make your search results very attractive.

A page with a lot of recommendations may gain a significant boost within your network as well as friends of friends.

StudioPress has been shared on Google+.

This should encourage you to add new people of interest to your circles to grow your Google+ network. You should also advertise the Google+1 button prominently.

I’d be thrilled if you gave adsense97779 blog the honor of a recommendation on Google+! The button is at the top right near the newsletter subscription.

5. Learning More About SEO

Likely the most valuable contribution social media provides to SEO is the latest news. Your lists, circles, groups or wall can be an excellent resource for broadening your knowledge on SEO.

Follow industry leading publications and known SEO experts to stay up-to-date on the latest in a constantly evolving industry.

Thank you for reviewing my tips on leveraging social media for SEO benefit. Please leave a comment below if you would like to contribute one of your own. Best of luck and happy networking.

In today's advanced age, when such a large amount of promoting happens behind a PC screen, it's occasionally hard to recollect a standout amongst the most imperative parts of effective showcasing — that the entire object is to interface with individuals.

Consider how rapidly and essentially you can send an email - with only a couple snaps of the console and one press of the "send" catch, you can correspond with your whole rundown of prospects.

In any case, before sending off messages turns into a vacant propensity, put forth these five urgent inquiries:

Is this fascinating?

Is it significant?

Would I need to peruse this?

Am I making esteem and instructing the end client?

Am I urging individuals to make a move or turning them off?

On the off chance that you replied "no" to any of the above inquiries, it may be an ideal opportunity to reevaluate your email advertising technique.

Here are six tips to assist you with refining you're promoting messages and build engagement:

1. Have Emails Come From an Individual

Your beneficiaries will probably draw in with your messages when they originate from a genuine individual, instead of "sales@company.com" or some stock "bot" email.

Sending messages from a person at your firm is an incredible approach to adapt the cooperation without including much additional exertion - you can even incorporate a mark at the base when it appears to be suitable.

A few workers at your organization may be reluctant to send messages from their real email address because of the possibility to get spammed with reactions. You can evade this by setting up a different email account that still originates from a particular name - simply verify somebody is responsible for checking it.

2. Suggest a Conversation starter

Posing a question in your email correspondence is one of the most ideal approaches to support engagement and let your beneficiaries know you think about got notification from them.

3. Fuse Visual Content

You can even incorporate a thumbnail headshot of the individual sending the email to include an additional individual touch.

4. Customize As Much As Possible

Pretty much as it adapts your messages to have them sent from a real individual, the same goes for tending to the beneficiaries. With such a large number of decisions for CRMs, it's currently get to be standard practice to utilize the name of your prospects, instead of calling them "supporter" or some other obscure and generic location.

Past just utilizing names, attempt to discover different approaches to fragment and customize your messages taking into account what you think about where your prospects as of now are in their client venture.

5. Be Entertaining and Personable

You're not a robot nor is the individual perusing your messages - so why not include a little silliness and identity into your messages? Keep in mind, the messages you send are an augmentation of your image, so you need to verify they speak to your firm well while as yet interfacing with your prospects on a friendly level.

One simple approach to make your messages additionally enthralling and enhance your open rates is to make snappy and drawing in headlines that get the consideration of your prospects.

Despite the fact that email showcasing is presently generally robotized, that is no motivation to take the human component out of your correspondence. At the point when you're showcasing gets to be automated, your leads, prospects, and customers will probably begin blocking you out. Rather, utilize your email correspondence as a chance to think imaginatively and associate with your beneficiaries on a valid and amiable leve

A New Way For Musicians To Make Money On YouTube 2015

Scott Schreer is an indie musician, but not the garage-band variety. The composer licenses his 1,700 musical works, designed as scenic background music, to film and TV producers. Less gratifyingly, he can also hear them used, without permission, in thousands of videos on YouTube. Hunting those stray recordings and trying to collect licensing fees from the video-sharing Google (GOOG) subsidiary didn’t seem worth the trouble. Then Schreer started using Audiam.

google adsense,what is google adsense,how to make money with google adsense,learn about google adsense,google adsense banded me,facebook,blog,blogger,net marcket,business,seo,website,make,money,Social Media

Audiam’s program combs YouTube for videos that feature unlicensed music, using audio-matching software and YouTube’s own ContentID system. If there are advertisements running on the videos that include its clients’ songs, New York-based Audiam claims a share of the ad revenue; if there aren’t any ads attached, Audiam authorizes YouTube to add some. Either way, the startup passes along ad revenue to the artist, minus its 25 percent cut. Founder Jeff Price, a friend of Schreer’s, pitches musicians like this: “Let’s go find you money that already exists. It’s buried treasure.”

Although big record companies and music publishers have deals with YouTube to collect rights fees when their songs show up in videos, lesser-known artists and composers don’t, and Price wants Audiam to be their middleman. (Artists can sign up for free, in exchange for song uploads and YouTube licensing rights.) Price’s six-employee startup has attracted about 700 musicians since its mid-June launch, and Schreer is an ideal test case: A May Audiam search for just one of his 1,700 songs, a two-minute, saxophone-heavy acid-jazz instrumental called Love Doctor, revealed 100,000 video plays using the song without paying for it over a period of 11 days. That search netted Schreer $120 in licensing fees from YouTube, he says. He’s collecting about $30,000 a month overall from his music catalog.

Price has helped indie artists before: In 2006 he co-founded TuneCore, which made deals with iTunes and other digital music distributors to allow unsigned musicians to sell downloads. He and co-founder Peter Wells were ousted by TuneCore’s board last year with no public explanation. Price says he was terminated without cause—the company didn’t respond to requests for comment—and he launched Audiam as his next act.

Price picked a giant, lucrative target in YouTube, which streams 6 billion hours of video each month. Martin Pyykkonen, a senior analyst at market researcher Wedge Partners, estimates that YouTube contributes 10 percent of Google’s revenue, which topped $50 billion last year. That would put YouTube’s revenue at about half of what’s spent on billboard advertising in the U.S.

Few Audiam clients will see the kind of cash that Schreer earns from his work. A garage band with a couple of albums can expect “a little extra gravy,” says Aram Sinnreich, a media professor at Rutgers University and author of the forthcoming book The Piracy Crusade. And Sinnreich says Audiam’s 25 percent cut is steep: Other organizations that collect royalties for performers and songwriters, such as Ascap and BMI, typically take about 10 percent. (Price maintains that those groups take a bigger cut of YouTube royalties; Ascap and BMI didn’t respond to queries.)

Still, Sinnreich says, Audiam is poised to benefit from music consumers’ shifting habits. “The writing is essentially on the wall for the download model,” he says, as fans switch from buying music on iTunes to using YouTube or streaming songs on sites such as Spotify and Pandora (P). That’s proving to be a lousy way for even successful artists to earn money, and plenty of striving musicians would welcome revenue from YouTube clicks. “There are tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of independent composers and performers whose work does appear on sites like YouTube,” Sinnreich says.

And if a song such as Love Doctor happens to show up on a video that achieves the reach of Gangnam Style, Audiam can make sure the musicians get their due. Says Schreer, “If someone takes the music you wrote as a garage guy in Minneapolis and puts it into a cat video that goes viral, you’re doing pretty well.”

How I Made $2500 By Just Signing Up For Credit Cards

t history. But I love reading finance and how to make free money.

I learnt how to build credit history

Since I was alien for US banks, I had to build their trust in my financial repay capacity, known as ‘credit history’. Banks collect credit report from three companies – Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. These credit bureau companies keep an eye on all your credit cards and loans.

The first step for building credit history was to get a loan from the bank. But I knew that banks are not going to approve me any loan until I had credit history.

To break this paradox, easiest way was to get a secure credit card that work like pre-paid card but banks report it as credit card. Let’s say if I pay $500 (as deposit) for getting card then bank will grant me credit limit for shopping upto $500. I have to pay monthly bills of the card to maintain good health of my credit history.

I realized credit card companies offer sign up bonus

Banks in US are very generous. They offer a good amount of money on card approval in the form of cash back, reward points or miles. Cash back can be used to repay credit card bills which is equivalent to cash. Reward points and miles can be used for shopping vouchers, travel tickets, and hotel bookings.

I could have got a bonus from $100 to $500 depending upon my credit score and length of credit history. But it was too early to apply for such credit cards.

Each credit card request put a dent in credit history. I holded up my craving for cards until I had excellent credit score.

Improving Credit Score

Credit history starts with first card approval, and credit score is a number between 500-800 which depends on how responsibly we use credit cards.

Credit history management is a new concept in India, but now every bank verify credit report before taking a decision on the loan application. I landed up in a situation where my credit history got messed up by CIBIL authorities in India. You better be careful.

We should never miss a payment, always pay the minimum due amount before due date. Bank will charge interest on carryover balance, pay the full amount to avoid interest charges.

Never over utilize credit card limit. Maintain credit balance in a range of 10-20% of overall limits. If we have two cards with limits of $500 and $1000, then our total limit is $1500. For best credit score, we should maintain utilization in between $150 to $300.

Use a credit card so that due payments reflect on credit history. If we are not using cards, then banks will think we no longer need credit. Banks report due payment and previous month payment status to Credit bureau companies. It’s good sign if we are owed money last month and paid in full this month.

This way I managed to improve my credit score to 700+ which is considered very good.

I prepared one year plan of my expected expenses.

The credit card bonus can only be credited in account if we meet certain conditions. Most of the times banks give 90 days to spend $500 to get $100 as a bonus.

My plan was to align my credit card approval with my future expenses

Monthly Expense (Grocery, Dine, Online Shopping, Gas, Utility Bills) Additional Expense (One time)

$400 – $600

$400 – $600 $1000 (Household Shopping)

$400 – $600

$400 – $600 $1500 (Trip to SFO)

$400 – $600

$400 – $600 $3000 (Hotel Booking for friend)

$400 – $600

$400 – $600 $1000 (Shopping)

$400 – $600

$400 – $600 $2500 (Trip to Hawaii)

$400 – $600

I observed that every alternate month I am going to have some big expense. We were planning to buy LCD, X-box and some furniture that I postponed till approval of my credit cards.

Our holiday was planned to San Francisco in few months. One of our friends was moving to US in next six months. He asked me if I can book a hotel for him which he will pay me in cash. It was an opportunity for me to apply for credit card with hotel benefits.

Finally our dream holiday to Hawaii, which going to cost us at least $2500. We needed credit cards with travel & shopping benefits.

Execution Quarter by Quarter

Execution of plan starts when I first applied for JC-Penny store credit card that was offering $50 and 15% cash back on the bill. I did shopping of $200 and got $30+$50 = $80 as cash back.

It was time to apply for another store card and wait till 2-3 statements to appear in credit history. I applied for 3-4 cards at once and waited for at least three months for my next hit. This improves chances of credit card approval.

Quarter #1

JC-Penny – $50 + $30

Walmart – $25 + $25

Capital One – $100

Quarter #2

Chase Freedom – $100

Discover – $100

Total direct bonus = $2200

5% on various categories = $100

10% on shopping = $200

+ Bonus nights at Marriott Hotels
