The short answer is everyone needs search engine optimisation. The idea that some techniques are more effective than others might be true. The bottom line is the result, usually this comes down to which search engine optimisation company you choose, and how they stack up against each other. There are common search engine optimisation techniques that most companies employ which include submission to directory sites, posts on forums or blogs, article writing and submission to article directories, social bookmarking, and building links from, on-theme websites. The idea is to use your search engine optimisation to building your page authority so your web pages appear in the top five for searches relating to the page content. If your website is any lower than that the chances of a getting a click through drop considerably. There is a trend by the major search engines to frown upon obvious keyword stuffing, however when used in moderation in a natural way, the page will usually perform better. If you are webmaster then you should acquire professional help and guidance if you are serious and want better performance.

We wanted to let you know about a great new idea on the internet called Supaswap. If you have not heard of it you might want to think if it like eBay but it is geared more for parents and their children. One of the best selling points of the new Supaswap system, which we believe will make you want to check out the listings everyday. They have the added feature of allowing its members to swap items. We are impressed with the ease of using the system as anything geared to both parents and children needs to be easy to use. They have a good system for checking in all of the users, as a child has to be registered by a parent. When a parent sets up an account for their child, there are whole hosts of strict parental controls that can be turned on. There are also no chat rooms on SupaSwap so as a parent you can view and moderate email messages that pass between their child and any other child during the process of buying, bidding, selling or swapping. There are no monthly fees to be a member. When we were kids we would trade and swap all the time this happened at school or the playground. When you think about using SupaSawp kids today are able to trade with anyone, anywhere using the internet.
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of mailVU. All opinions are 100% mine.
Here is an idea that is a long time coming. There is a new website service being delivered by http://mailVU.com. mailVU is a free video email service that allows you to record video email from any computer with a webcam, and play it on any computer, iPhone, and other smart phones. You do not need an account or any special software required for download as well as it being super easy to use. We checked it out and have to say it might be the next best thing to a live conference. This is so much better than using YouTube or a Video Chat like Skype. This is because when you use http://mailVU.com you are creating a private moment between two people. YouTube you must share with the world and Skype you need to be online at the same time. We have seen many uses for this already. When a family is separated by time zones this is a great way to message each other. We do not know if the military are aloud to use this service but you can see anyone who never knows when they will get to the Internet again will find this an amazing medium. Grandchildren can say hello to grandparents, and business executives can send video messages to the employees. MailVU is so simple you just “push” the video to the other person’s email inbox. This video email can be created, and read, at any time. They also have a self-destruct feature available to delete the video after a certain number of views or days. We are going to use this plenty as this is going to be an instant alternative to wasted time getting together for a video chat.

We want to let you know about a great gift idea as we head into the summer party season. FriendGiftr is a great help for a last minute gift for that birthday, housewarming, or graduation party you have to attend with no idea what to bring for a gift. To make this idea even better users are now able to buy and send real digital and/or physical gift cards anytime. Buyers can select from over 120 of their favorite retail and restaurant gift cards to buy $10, $20, $25, $35, $50, $75, and $100 gift cards. Our favorite part is what makes Friendgiftr unique. The receiver can use it any way they want, they can exchange the gift card given to them for any of the 120 merchants Friendgiftr offers for no additional cost and without the buyer ever knowing. They can also split the gift card across multiple merchants. We went to a party last weekend and needed to get a gift so we stopped last minute and picked up a fancy liquor set. When we arrived the party the host told us they had quit drinking, should have used FriendGiftr to send a gift card that day for sure. We could have even have done it from the iPhone using the service from the website, they also provide ways to get Friendgiftr, on Facebook, BlackBerry, and Android. It is a great idea and one we will remember from now on.

We always love letting the reader know about the next big thing. Today we are fired up as a company called AffinityClick is finally offering a real alternative to Google Adsense for bloggers. The age old question is how to Generate revenue from your blog and finally we have an answer. AffinityClick has spent the last year building out a great new service that takes products from merchants and re-distributes them in the form of a unique product placement on a bloggers website. We have taken advantage of the trial of this hot new service at no cost. The sign up was a breeze and we were up and running in minutes. We added an ad to the sidebar at the bottom of our widgets on the right side of the page. You need to get on this is you have a blog as once you signup they will actually start paying you. The best thing about this great service is that there is finally a real alternative to Google Adsense. The system is going to be great because they have lined up already over 15,000 merchants so the content of your ads should be fresh and dynamic as your content. We are very excited about adding this widget to our space and have high hopes for its success. It is great that there is someone out there that is thinking about the importance of the blogosphere and how much traffic it truly shares on the internet.
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
We wanted to let you know about WeReward the new mobile application from IZEA, the company that brought you such great platforms as SocialSpark and Sponsored Tweets. WeReward.com is the newest platform and it pays you for check ins and tasks you complete in the real world. A check in is when you are going to the video store to drop off a movie you check in, you are using that business. Then you head out for a bite to eat, check in and even rate the establishment. It integrates with Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare, so you can still get your badges and share the way you always have. The best thing about it is runs on you iPhone. The iPhome is already the coolest phone out there but this makes it even more impressive as it means you carry around the WeReward interface in your pocket. If you have an iPhone please Download the App and give it a try! If not you can simply watch the video. The best thing about IZEA is they love feedback and ideas. Tell them what you think and they will listen. We are proud to be an early adopter of the program and nothing is cooler on Friday night then checking in and letting the places we go to that we are letting all our followers know we are there and if it was good or not. Companies pay employees these days to troll the internet for mentions of their product or service. Thanks to WeReward the chatter is going to get a lot louder as Chops runs roughshod through the country. Do you smell bacon?
This is not a paid review, this is not a plea for referrals, this is a straight up awestruck post over an idea that is years ahead of its time. Wereward is the perfect gel of mobile user, constant online connectivity and advertisers. Ted Murphy at IZEA has hit this one out of the park as this is the most impressive platform they have ever introduced. An advertiser can spend millions without any visible return. A mobile user can go the same places and never be rewarded for their patronage. Wereward has mashed up these two into a platform that makes everyone get something for the effort. An example is Starbucks offers a Wereward if you go to a Starbucks, take a photo with your phone of you drinking a coffee in the store. You post it up to wereward and you get points for doing this task. The promotion for the advertiser is like a coupon. The user gets a service in this case a coffee and cash back when earned enough points. The power of this makes you feel like this is going to become the model for advertising over the next 10 years. The magic of the details are what so amazing, the advertiser has photos of real people using their product, x&y gens do not clip coupons but everyone likes something for free or at discount. This program is less than a month old and we check it all the time as it is not only a reward program but as everything with IZEA it is just fun. Ted Murphy has created an environment along with his team of navigating the slippery snake of internet advertising and riding the waves to the next big thing. This is another example of a vision that after it is put into practice you just know this is going to be big.

There is something about watching someone do a god thing that makes everyone else want to help. This is case with the underage overachiever, Bilaal Rajan, the thirteen year old who proves age is no barrier to making a difference. On International Chidren’s Day June 1st 2010, Bilaal will go barefeet everywhere to lead his 2nd Annual Barefoot campaign for world change. We were late to see this but the results from last year are impressive. Last year we watched from the sidelines as the idea gained momentum across Canada and with people in countries as far away as Australia, Afghanistan, England, Switzerland, Thailand, Kenya, Malawi and Tanzania all kicking of their shoes and taking part.. If you are interested and we all should be you can go the People can go to making change now website where you can learn more about the initiative and sign up on facebook page. For his part, Rajan has invited the general public following his lead to step up with naked feet. This, he believes will help them to better understand the struggles faced by under privileged children in the world many of whom cannot afford shoes, let alone attend school. Bilaal’s Barefoot Challenge is on June 1, 2010, and we support the initiative. This is a great thing and it is a perfect way to understand how a simple thing like a pair of shoes that we take for granted, can be the greatest gift for someone who has none.

We want to let you know about a cool service for giving a gift called FriendGiftr. There are so many times we should have used FriendGiftr to send a giftcard to a friend including last weekend. We tried to go all the way to birthday party about three hours from our house, we left way too late, we got lost, and we had a flat tire on the way. When we finally arrived all the guests had gone and when the child opened our present they already had it. If we used FriendGiftr none of that would have happened. This is a great service to as your friend can swap the giftcard out for a different merchant for no additional cost. You can also use thier service from the website, Facebook, iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android. This is a great way to send gift cards to friends, family, and associates for the holidays, birthdays, other special occasions, or anytime. Buyers can select from over 120 of their favorite retail and restaurant gift cards to buy $10, $20, $25, $35, $50, $75, and $100 gift cards. The best part is you can send a $50 TJMaxx card and the receiver can take that card and split it into a $25 for Papa Johns and $25 for AMC Theaters and have a dinner and movie instead. The sender never knows and the receiver gets exactly what they want.
