			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Face book team gave an opportunity to Microsoft&#8217;s Bing to show all the search results portraying what your friends have been doing. This implies that if you search for anything be it sports, movies and many more, you will be notified if some of your friends received the same search results as you hence you will get to know if they like something that you also have interest in.</p>
<p>It has been a long time ever since Google started showing twitter updates on its site. As soon as you get your search results, you will be notified of the news going on around the globe via twitter.</p>
<p>If you have some information to pass on, the whole world will get to know about it hence all you need is to tweet the information. In most cases, this applies to scenes of accidents or murder where the person on spot tells the information before the journalists can pass it on.</p>
<p>This has gotten many people to start guessing how the web will turn out to be in the near future. This is because social media has taken over while sidelining with SEO.</p>
<p>The SEO and social networks are most likely to join hands in their efforts to make an impact on the internet scene.</p>
<p>What if Microsoft hadn&#8217;t joined hands with Facebook? Picture what would have happened may be Google would have taken over. Right now Microsoft is dealing with the world&#8217;s popular social network unlike Google which lost out in the battle yet it is the largest search engine on the internet.</p>
<p>These social networks won&#8217;t make any difference in the operation of the SEO industry because even back then, the introduction of the first search engine made some change in how the SEO is supposed to work.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t have to base on the fact that the introduction of social networks has made any difference in the operation of the SEO.Just like algorithms, we have to change the way we live and behave in order to stay on track with the day to day life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that can be interesting regarding the use of tools like Google Insights and Google Trends is reviewing the traffic patterns. You can review these throughout the year and might be surprised about why things are like this.</p>
<p>It is a matter of great fascination to do analysis of Google. Searches follow weekly, monthly, or seasonal pattern depending upon the needs of the searchers. A typical example is the total absence of search for jobs over weekends and heavy traffic during weekdays. Similar is the case during Christmas, New Year and other important vacation periods.</p>
<p>January sees an increase in all kinds of searches including recruitment, weight loss and for stopping smoking. In winter there are fewer searches for the subjects that are similar to garden sheds.</p>
<p>STD clinic and STI testing will generate very heavy traffic during December/ January and a decline in summer. This leads to the conclusion that parties during Christmas, New Year etc; are times when unprotected sex is practiced.</p>
<p>Safety is the keyword for anyone who has a fling at parties. It applies to both men and women. Condoms are in general use and have to be used while having such relationships. Using them is the surest way of avoiding unplanned pregnancy and getting infected by STDs.</p>
<p>For those who have been careless and do not take any precautions it is of utmost importance that they get tested for STI symptoms.</p>
<p>In women these symptoms can be the passing of urine painfully or more regularly, swelling or itching around vagina. Abdominal bleeding can also be another symptom in women. While in men the symptoms can be swelling or itching around their penis and the passing out of urine on more frequent basis or with pain.</p>
<p>If you still have any doubt then you should immediately contact the sexual health clinic and can cure your problem.</p>
<p>In addition to SEO tips, the author additionally regularly writes on <a target='_blank' href="http://borngolfers.com/golf-clothing-what-youll-need-and-where-to-find-it/">golf clothing</a> and <a target='_blank' href="http://borngolfers.com/4-ways-that-golf-belly-putters-can-take-strokes-off-your-short-game/">golf belly putters</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People usually love video, millions of Americans consume videos online and same is the case world over. A consumer is most likely to keep in mind and refer to a video in comparison to a print advertisement. These days video making is very economical as compared to the cost of a traditional commercial. Broadband is getting enormous popularity worldwide. Now people can watch videos without long download times or quality issues. Present generation considers video to be a reliable source of news and information. Online video for them is second to nature. Here are a few tips/hints for optimizing your video:</p>
<p>1) It is recommended that you create and submit a transcript for users and the search engines, add a transcript to each video file you&#8217;ve uploaded via your Video Status page. Create a Keyword Rich Title for your Transcript; include a brief introductory paragraph/synopsis that describes the subject matter of your transcript (and video) and be sure to publish your transcript.</p>
<p>2) Make sure to include the keyword that you are targeting visitors for. Most often users will use the word &#8220;video&#8221; in conjunction with their search if searching for videos via the search engines. Therefore, it is important to use the word &#8220;video in your title, description, meta tags, and any other on-page text that you include with your video.</p>
<p>3) Just as with normal techniques for SEO, it is just as important that you develop links to your video for off-page search engine optimization. Try to get as many quality links to your video as possible. Perhaps submit to social bookmarking sites and friend&#8217;s blogs.</p>
<p>4) Create a video sitemap exclusively for your online video content so that engines can find all of your videos and understand the structure of your site more easily. This helps the web crawlers to locate your video files speedily and effortlessly.</p>
<p>5) When hosting video content on your own, keep in mind that flash is next to impossible for search engines to read and understand. Try to work with a format that is not flash. However, the simplest way to enable video on your site is via the popular flash players. That being said, do your best to take advantage of the other tips for SEO so that search engines can easily understand what it is your video is about.</p>
<p>6) Keep a keyword friendly URL structure that uses a few of your main keywords in the url string. For example &#8211; website.com/videos/car-racing-video/ is much better than website.com/videos/?videoID=123kjh</p>
<p>7) Various video search engines use to capture thumbnails of your in different manner. Some of them take the first frame of your video, while others try to take from the middle or end. It is better to experiment with each site individually to make sure they are displaying the right thumbnail for your video. A video thumbnail is always crucial when it comes to decide for a viewer which video to watch.<br />
 <img src='http://www.smfseo.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Try to keep one video per page and put all video pages into the same directory or folder.</p>
<p>In addition to the specific optimization techniques listed above, make sure that you also follow some common guidelines for online video content:</p>
<p>9) Always make sure viewers are searching for your targeted keywords regularly. If not, try to find the closest related keywords being searched.</p>
<p>10) Enable ratings, reviews, comments, and feedback on your videos. Research shows that allowing users to provide feedback results in greater views for your video in addition to the fact that users who provide feedback tend to be those users that act.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re like millions of others around the world you&#8217;ve been to and even uploaded videos to YouTube. But then you had all sorts of problems getting your files to show properly or look good or a hundred other things. So here is a quick how-to that will help you optimize your video for YouTube You need to make sure that when you save your video for YouTube that you do so in a format that is not only compatible with YouTube buy will display properly when streamed back through the web to your viewers.</p>
<p>So heres the skinny on what you need to do to get your videos to be all they can be on YourTube without massive headaches, expensive hardware and Hollywood-sized editing budgets. The following are the major points to take into account prior to uploading your videos.</p>
<p><strong>Resolution</strong> &#8221; Taking a video at a resolution too small for YouTube means that when it goes into the service it will need to be stretched. This is a surefire way to lose most if not all of the quality of a video and even may make it unwatchable. Your best bet for a safe resolution is the recommended YouTube size of 1280&#215;720, also known as 720. Now you&#8217;re all gasping because you can get HD quality. It will make for a large file but YouTube can handle up to 1GB files as long as they&#8217;re not more than 10 minutes (actually 10:59).</p>
<p><strong>Bitrate</strong> &#8221; Without getting into the technical mumbo jumbo, this is how much information each second of your video is. The more information means the better quality generally. So when youre making your video, editing or converting youll want to get this to somewhere around 6 Megabits-per-second and 8 Megabits-per-second. This will give you a large file size that should fit into the YouTube limits (1GB) and still give you ample quality after the YouTube compression process. This is a good way to make sure your video will retain some semblance of what it looked like when you made it.</p>
<p>There are several other factors that you should think about here as well. The Codec, software that encodes your video to a particular format, for YouTube that is .mov or .mp4 so make sure you have it in that. If you dont youre going to need a piece of video editing software like Quicktime Pro, Premier, or some other software on the market with multiple file format compatibility. Audio should be set in 44.1KHz Stereo MP3 or AAC format on your video and finally get your framerate at 30fps or higher to make sure theres not a lot of jitter and jumps.</p>
<p>Once youve got all this, upload your video, wait for YouTube to process it and you should a nice looking video pushed out to the site for your friends, family and complete strangers. Good Luck in your video marketing efforts.</p>
