Search Engine Optimization Clue (Infographic)

To put it simply, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is one of the most important knowledge/skills that all internet marketers should be aware of. Having said that, since time is money (correct in both online and offline space), many internet marketers would preferred outsource their SEO needs to specialists.

 

This is especially true since global search is still on the upwards trend even with the "invasion" of social networking sites (like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest etc..) and there is no sign of slowing down. Thus, if you do not want to spend too much time and money on the paid search result, do spend sometime on the on-page and off-page SEO (of your site/blog) either by yourself or through SEO service provider. One of such prominent play is MOZ.

Can You Imagine If There Is No Blog From Tomorrow Onwards? (Infographic)

Blog was been here for since 1997 and it will continue to be in existence in the foreseeable future. In fact, some of the authoritative blogs (like Mashable, TechCrunch etc.) have over-shadowed the mainstream media for many years.

 

So, can you imagine one day if all the blogs gone holidays and MIA (Missing-In-Action)? I can't either.

 

In fact, there is a whole Blogconomy currently brewing "silently" in the online space and many of the professional bloggers are living out of it, comfortably. Recently, Ignite Spot produced a brilliant infographic that will answer all your doubts and queries about Blogconomy.

 

Enjoy!

Why Is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Still Important? (Infographic)

For those who tell you that internet marketing has switched its gear from SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to Social Media. The truth is, it is far from truth. In fact, both SEO and Social Media can complement each other to create a more powerful online presence.

 

To quote you two examples:
 

1. Do you know that the big G in the search engine (I am sure you know who) is receiving more than 1 billion searches each day?

2. There are about 36% of the small businesses paying for the publishing and analytics tools to enhance their SEO?

 

With the launch of its own Social Networking site, Google+, Google has integrated the Google Search with it seamlessly and doing pretty well in terms of consolidating results the with more social proof.  In fact, the other big player in Search Engines, Yahoo! is doing so too with the integration with Facebook and their site has gone much more than search alone!

Thus, it is not a zero-sum game, both SEO and Social Media still have an important role to play in the online space.

Let's Go Back To Basic Of Blogging [Infographic]

Today I am feeling a bit nostalgic and thus like to share a bit of the history of BLOG. Of course, I will not dwell with too much historical details here but just wanted to share the answers to the following two basic questions:

1. When was the term BLOG being coined and by who?

2. How is the term BLOG formed?

 

First, the one that responsible for the term Blog is Jorn Barger. In December 1997, he first coined the term Weblog and the term Blog was derived from the combination of these 2 words (Web + Log), which is the answer to question number 2.

Courtesy of Blogskinny, they have generated a simple yet meaningful Infographic about the history of Blogging which answer the similar questions.
