This is when you will need to get some great advice so you will be able to get the kinds of results you are hoping for when starting a website.

There is still plenty of space on the Internet for successful websites. You will just need to be smart in how you are setting yours up and what you are doing to get the results you are looking for. For one thing, you will need to make sure that your website is accessible without spending a lot to make it accessible.

It is also important to know about how to identify the keywords that will provide you with the access to better Google page rankings. Of course, you will also need to make sure that you are marketing your website properly. This will allow you to have the results you are looking for.

Making your Website Accessible

Having a great website will not mean anything if no one can access it. Some of the larger websites have their own servers to host their information. This is costly and a bit risky with hackers everywhere trying to gain access to your sensitive information. You will be able to get a higher level of security and save some money when using managed VPS hosting. This is a form of hosting in which you are sharing a server with other websites, but it is like you are the only one. The cost is lower and the security is higher.

Getting the Best Google Page Ranking

Now that you know people will be able to securely visit your site, you will need to make sure that they are able to find it. This means getting a better page ranking. Your page ranking is based a lot on the kind of content you have on the site and the links that are pointed towards your site.
One way that you will be able to make sure that you are getting the help you need is that you will be able to hire SEO consultants.

Marketing Your Website

SEO is not the only way to market your website. You will also be able to use banners and other formats to market your website so that you are getting the results you are looking for. Make sure that you are collecting email addresses from those people who are visiting your website.

This will allow you to use email marketing to get the results you are looking for. Just make sure you do not use any form of spam or Black Hat SEO marketing or you might get shut down.

Through accessibility, better page rankings and the best marketing, you will have a truly successful website. This will give you everything you need to be the most successful webmaster possible.

The Killer Companies That Started From Nothing Are Being Snapped Up For Billions

Recently there have been a few success stories in the technology world when it comes to companies that started with a simple idea then selling that idea on for billions of dollars. With the likes of Instagram being sold for 1 billion a few short years after its launch and the most recent sale of Tumblr to Yahoo for 1.1 billion dollars, it’s safe to say the small ideas that become big brands are taking the technology world by storm, but how did they do it and could you do something similar?

The Success Stories
The most well known company to be sold for huge figures is probably Instagram. The photo sharing site was bought by Facebook earlier in the year for 1 billion dollars. Tumblr has followed in its footsteps when on the 20th of May it was purchased by Yahoo for 1.1 billion dollars. Both these companies started off as humble ideas but they progressed quickly and really took off. These simple ideas eventually turned into strokes of genius that made those who created them a lot of money. Both the creators of Instagram and Facebook recognised the rapid growth of the popularity of social media sites and jumped on the band wagon creating new platforms that offered something the other sites didn't.

The companies grew rapidly with millions signing up quickly. In three short years Instagram had gained 30 million users and since its launch in 2006 Tumblr now has 108.2 million blogs with 75 million blogs being posted online every day. These are incredibly impressive stats which is what lead to the companies being snapped up by big names in social media for billions.

Making Your Idea A Success
Both Tumblr and Instagram shot to success very quickly. Their ideas being unique and ground breaking had a lot to do with this, but it’s the way they executed these ideas when launching them into the public. To give your idea a fighting chance you will need to do these things-

Internet Marketing
A sure way to get your brand name and product out there fast, internet marketing is a must. Whether it’s social media marketing, SEO or PPC, they all go a long way to promoting your company. PPC and SEO gets your company found on search engines when people search relevant keywords and social media marketing allows you to communicate with the public and become a trusted source in your industry.

PR
Public relations is essential for any new company launching into the technology industry. Using PR you can build on your brand and start to generate a good reputation for yourself. Word of mouth is the best way to spread news. So if ten people have heard good things about your brand soon one hundred people will have heard good things about your brand. Use PR to start to spread the word, build relationships with the public and most importantly get your name out there.

Once you've got a great idea make it happen. Unless you make it happen yourself you’ll never know if your idea would have take off like Instagram and Tumblr did. Use PR and intenet marketing to promote your company and start to spread the word.

BlackBerry Q5 - Can BlackBerry Bring Back Its Past Glory?

BlackBerry is fighting its way back up to the top, and they want everyone to know it. Their flurry of announcements on May 14th made it very clear that they want to be back in the game. They're releasing the Blackberry Q5, a more affordable mobile device. They've opened up their BlackBerry Messenger app to other platforms, including Android and iOS. They've hit a record 120,000 apps available in their app store, BlackBerry World. All of these are great moves for a company that wants to reclaim the glory and renown they once enjoyed.

New Leadership

Last year, Thorsten Heins had just taken the reins as BlackBerry CEO, and things looked grim for the company's future. It was losing money for the first time in years. Sales were dropping, its market share was vanishing, and it hadn't revealed new products in a very long time. Nobody was expecting the company to work so hard to rebrand themselves and overhaul the system, but a year later, it seems to have paid off.

The last few months have been a flurry of the company working to improve its product portfolio and redeem its reputation. Heins' appearance at this year's conference made it clear that he felt good about the way things were going. He exuded confidence and spoke certainly about the direction the company was headed. Shareholders are not quite as convinced as Heins just yet, but the announcements of BlackBerry's newest products should help to reassure them that the company is taking a step toward building themselves back up.

Iconic QWERTY Keyboard

The BlackBerry Q5 may be the key here to the company winning back its audience. Previously, they only offered high-end phones, while manufacturers like Samsung and HTC branched out to cover multiple markets. BlackBerry decided to give it a try, taking its BlackBerry 10 smartphone and creating a budget-friendly version. This allows them to target different markets and widen their range. BlackBerry smartphones are still the dominant choice for those who prefer smartphones with full keyboards, but even with that niche market, they haven't been able to measure up to their competitors.

Lower Price

There hasn't been an announcement yet on how much the Q5 will actually cost, as that will probably vary from country to country and carrier to carrier. With BlackBerry aiming for markets in Latin America and Southeast Asia, IDC analyst Ramon Llamas says their best bet is to give it a no-contract price of around $200.

World Wide Market

The phone launches in various markets this summer, but those markets currently do not include the United States or Canada. Given the fact that the Q10 still isn't available in the U.S. and won't be until June, the BlackBerry may be losing its North American audience as it gains users around the world. It may be that the practical functionality of the BlackBerry simply is no longer what United States consumers want. They may very well be right to focus on other markets first and leave the North American customers behind for the time being.

Only time will tell whether these new marketing tactics pay off for the BlackBerry. if they do, we'll just have to wait until next year's conference to see where the company goes next.

Introducing Telepathy One - Google Glass' Competitor

Now that the smartphone has become a common trend, inventors have taken them to the next level: wearable computers. Come 2013, many companies have announced wearable gadgets which can be synchronized with your smartphone. The mogul Google also has plans to launch Google Glass, a wearable computer which allows you to view your information in a hands-free format and use the internet by typing commands or instructing it with your voice. However, despite everything Google’s doing to release its latest innovation, it already has a competitor: Telepathy One.

If this is the first time you’re hearing about Telepathy One, you probably haven’t been watching techie news so closely. However, you’re in luck because the following lines are going to introduce you to this new Japanese gadget.

What is Telepathy One?

Telepathy One is the offering of Japanese entrepreneur Takahito Iguchi. According to his statements, it is his way of allowing people to see from the eyes of another. Expected to launch around Christmas 2013, which is around the time Google Glass will also hit the market, Telepathy One’s creators claim that they aren’t planning to compete with Google’s gadget. However, since their price is lower than that of Google Glass, there may be little truth in that statement.

Image Credit: startup-dating

Anyway, back to Telepathy One’s specs, it is a wearable headset that comes with a built-in camera and a microdisplay just like Google Glass. It can take pictures and stream video through the onboard headset to your social contacts. In addition, it allows you to view their comments just like the Google Hangout feature in Google Glass. However, unlike Glass, how Telepathy One records, streams, saves or shares videos is yet to be shared. Video aside, the device features ear buds that you can wear to listen to sounds.

Google Glass VS Telepathy One

Even if Telepathy One isn't planning to compete with Google Glass, this doesn't put an end to the constant comparisons made between both devices. Some of the biggest differences found between both wearable computers are:

Image is licensed under CC Attribution

·         Functionality – Google Glass’ functions have proven to be better than Telepathy One’s. This is because the former offers augmented reality among other specs. However, One’s core functionality is sharing experiences through social networks in real time with people over distances. Iguchi states, “You feel the love when your loved one is standing beside you.” Therefore, expecting more from this app won’t be right. 

·         Design – Where Telepathy One lacks in functionality it makes up in style. Many have praised the device’s sleek design, which is also light and ease to use. In addition, One’s optical device is designed to not interfere with intimacy, so you don’t have to worry about greeting other friends or the object of your affections while wearing this device.

·         Built-In Apps – The amount of apps included with Telepathy One are limited and there is no information yet as to what users can expect. Besides, according to Iguchi, third party apps are out of the question for One but may be available for Telepathy Two when the device’s API becomes available. However, for now, one of the fun apps you may enjoy is the Manga Camera App. Through this, users can convert live pictures into Japanese cartoon photos instantly. If you enjoy manga or anime, this is definitely a feature you’ll like.

·         Price – Telepathy One may still get bonus points because it’s less expensive than the $1500 Google Glass. However, this is completely understandable since the device lacks Google’s apps and comprehensive functionality.

Not much information is yet available on Telepathy One, especially with its release data being so far away. However, keep visiting often to find out more information.

The Final Verdict

Most people are skeptical of Telepathy One because of its humble beginnings. However, there’s still a chance that what was shown in the latest IT exhibitions was just a working prototype that aims at garnering people’s views and opinions. Besides, there’s a chance that the cheaper price will attract a younger crowd that focuses more on social interaction rather than step-by-step directions and Google Plus support. Therefore, it’s still too early for anyone to rule it out just yet.

So, keep posted for more updates on both Google Glass and its recent rival Telepathy One.

The Top 6 Cities In The U.S For A Career In SEO

Are you looking for a career in SEO? If you are you may be looking in the wrong town. SEO professionals, the highly skilled hard working ones, are highly sought after throughout the United States. But not all cities pay the same. Take Salt Lake City, Utah for example. This town per capita has one of the most dense populations of SEO professionals in the entire country. So the jobs are there, but the problem lies in the fact that the average salaries for this profession are much lower than other major cities. Especially those listed below.

If you're looking to pursue a career in SEO it's obviously important for you to a) get paid well, b) get the best SEO experience possible on the projects you are working on and c) get the opportunity to work around other highly skilled professionals so that you have some people to learn from. The following 6 cities are the best fit for this type of career:

1. New York City

The average salary for an SEO professional in New York City is 54k to 98k per year. An average much higher than the rest of the country. The only problem is of course the cost of living in New York City which makes it difficult to save those extra pennies. Why so many good high paying SEO jobs in New York? It's simple… all the traditional major ad agencies reside in New York. Most of them anyway.

2. Los Angeles

The average salary for an SEO professional in Los Angeles is 45k to 81k per year. Los Angeles too has many of the top traditional ad agencies but what's unique about Los Angeles is it's high density of newer age creative ad agencies, particularly those that specialize in online marketing. So while you may get paid more in New York City for being an SEO pro, you'll have a much easier time finding a gig in Los Angeles.

3. San Francisco

The average salary for an SEO professional in San Francisco is 53k to 90k per year. What's cool about San Francisco and what makes it unique to the other cities mentioned here is the high number of startup companies.

4. Chicago

Chicago like New York City, is the home of many traditional ad agencies and media outlets which creates a large market for SEO professionals. The average salary for an SEO professional in Chicago is 45k to 82k per year.

5. Boston

Boston is surprisingly the home of many domain name organizations and affiliate ad networks. These two monster industries create a ton of residual SEO jobs throughout the city. The average salary for an SEO professional in Boston is 49k to 90k per year.

6. Baltimore

And last on this list is Baltimore, Maryland. The average salary for an SEO Professional in Baltimore is 43k to 78k per year. The majority of these jobs are "Political" in nature thanks to nearby Washington D.C.

Don't like the big city life? Don't love the idea of doing search engine optimization New York, or in other big cities like Chicago or Boston? Austin Texas and Tampa Florida are two cities that rank pretty high on the list, two cities that still pay well and aren't your typical "big city."

Webmasters - Why You Should Let Your Grandma Be Your Editor/Proof Reader

If you run a website or a blog, then you probably work alone and like it that way. The reason that many of us became entrepreneurs in the first place in fact was that we wanted to start working alone and without having to speak to someone else or have a boss breathing down our necks. The last thing you're going to want then is to involve lots of other people in the process right? Least of all your gran who, lovely though she is, likely doesn't know much about SEO or writing good blog content...

Actually though your gran is exactly the person you should involve with your website, and even if you aren't willing to work in an office with her, you should try and put on your own 'granny hat' from time to time when proof reading and editing your own stuff. Let's look at why...

Pride
The first reason you should show your gran your work is because we all want our grandmas to be proud of us. If you've written some content for the internet, often you'll just be happy to press 'post' and to let it go into the ether that way, never to be seen again. That means that we'll often write content that we aren't all that proud of, and design sites that we aren't all that proud of. Ask yourself, would you be happy to post all the content you write on Facebook or would you feel self-conscious? If the answer is that you'd feel self-conscious, then it's time to have a rethink about the quality of what you're doing. So imagine your gran is going to read it and keep it high quality as a result.

Understanding
Another reason that you should imagine your gran is going to read your articles is that your gran probably doesn't know much about SEO or whatever topic you're going to write about. You might think that this would be a bad thing, but in fact it gives you the view of the person in the street. If your gran can understand and enjoy what you've written, then chances are that anyone should be able to. This is precisely the kind of writing you want to encourage on your own site, so read through the content with your granny hat on and try to decide whether someone who didn't already know the topic or get your sense of humour would necessarily be able to enjoy your site.

Access
Not only is it important that everyone be able to understand your content, you also want to ensure they can find their way around your site with ease. Look at your site and imagine what the first things your gran would click are. Would she know how to find the content she wants? And crucially - would she be able to see the links and the small typeface? Disabled access isn't something we often give much thought to online, but it is an important issue for those with impaired vision.

5 Reasons Why Infographics Fail: Tips For Aspiring Infographic Designers

You might be under the assumption that all you need to do is create an infographic and it will automatically drive traffic and raise brand awareness. Unfortunately, it doesn't always turn out that way. You have to know that many infographics are fading away in the dark corners of the internet- ignored and overlooked.

Reasons Why Infographics Flop

In the world of digital marketing, infographics has become a trend because they are extremely useful in conveying information in a stimulating and comprehensive manner. These graphical presentations help grasp the viewer's attention and relay information fast. With that said, infographics are a quick and stunning way to wield complicated data into something more understandable.

Unfortunately, there are some infographics that are unable to present comprehensive information while some fail to grasp the attention of its target audience. Some of the common reasons why infographics fail are listed below and a few tips to help you avoid failure.

The Infographic Is Self-Indulgent: This happens when you create an infographic that is solely focused on your own products and services. The truth is that your target audience is not initially interested in you; thus, avoid becoming a shady salesman.

To avoid this mistake, you must share interesting statistics and comparisons within your industry. You can use humor to keep your audience entertained, but provide factual and in-depth information. For instance, you can include the following information:

• Explanation of the key features which must be considered by the audience when buying your product
• Show how the product is made
• Share interesting facts about the industry
• Compare the products to help your audience make the right choice

Failure To Visualize The Data: The main point of making infographics is to turn useful information into graphical presentations so that it becomes comprehensible for the audience. By turning the information into graphical presentations, it becomes more interesting and compelling. With that said, your infographic fails when you fail to visualize the data.

Since it is impossible to discuss a topic using images alone, text must be used to define what the graphs, charts, and images represents. This means providing concise explanation using brief textual content.

Unoriginal Infographic Design: Although it is a good idea to learn from the success and failures of the infographics shared across the internet, you must still create your own unique design. Avoid imitating other designs and do not copy the infographic template outright. It is advisable to develop your own ideas and style.

The Design Is Unappealing To The Audience: There are a number of poorly designed infographics in the internet. If you have no prior experience in creative design, it is a good idea to look for a professional designer who is experienced in the art of visual storytelling. Remember that the infographics must have:

• an evenly distributed data. This means that the information presented must have a proper flow.
• complementary colors, images, and text. The visual presentation must use contrasting color palettes. In addition, the images and text used must be related to the topic being discussed.

Failure To Factor In Its Shareability: As an infographic designer, you must set a goal in creating a graphical presentation. You must determine who the infographic is for and what is its purpose. You must also decide whether the visual presentation serves as a branding or promotional tool, or as a method of improving search engine optimization.

These elements will help set the goal and make it easier to choose a subject that is relevant to the target audience. Your main goal must be to get your infographic to go viral and reach as many people as possible.

9 Quick Tips To Improve Your Mobile App User Experience

Whether you are planning to design a mobile app for iOS or Android, it is very important to take the time creating a user-friendly app design that your customers can conveniently understand and enjoy using. Considering over half a million mobile apps available in the Android Market as well as Apple Store, the competition is extremely high.

This means that if your app users are the slightest bit bothered by the lack of usability in your app design, they are simply a click away from downloading and using your competition's apps instead. So here are 9 quick tips to improve your mobile app user experience to increase your sales.

9 Quick Tips to Improve Your Mobile App User Experience

1. Reduce Your App File Size to Save Space

Although the newer smartphones are coming with larger memories to enable users to store more files and applications, every average user also is downloading more and more mobile apps - which makes their devices nearly full all the time. So one of the most important aspects of improving your mobile app user experience is optimizing your app graphics in order to reduce the downloadable file size provided at the end.

2. Include Various Types of Interactivity for a More Interesting User Experience

Nowadays smartphones has come with newer technologies when it comes to more interesting interactivity options. With highly sensitive touchscreen capabilities, voice commands, and advanced multi-touch features, you can create a captivating user experience in your mobile app by including the latest interactivity options. Therefore, your users will enjoy interacting with your app in all sorts of fun and user-friendly ways.

3. Design a Catchy Simple Mobile App Icon

You might have heard the famous saying that "people judge a book by its cover". Well, your app icon is considered like the book cover, as it is the first impression people develop about your mobile app that makes them decide whether they would like to download and try your app or not. So make sure you design a simple yet catchy design for your app icon.

4. Design a User-Friendly and Easy to Use Interface

With hundreds of related apps waiting to steal your customers' attention, it is extremely important to develop an easy-to-understand and pleasant user interface for your app. Considering the fact that not all your customers are going to be tech-savvy or simply patient enough to figure out a complex app, your app needs to offer a user-friendly design in order to keep people interested.

5. Avoid Using Too Much Sound within Your App

Although various sound effects make gaming apps and some other types of mobile apps more interesting, keep in mind that some of your users will consider too much sound. Perhaps some users will be using your app in the office, at school, or at home when other people are sleeping. So make sure to keep the sound effects to a minimum level for a better user experience.

6. Use Simple Menus

The nature of mobile apps is different from computer applications, where there might be several menus and plenty of various options available to the user. Since the mobile screen is smaller, it is important to keep the app design simple with fewer menus only when necessary.

7. Provide Easy-to-Understand Error Messages

The more complex your mobile app is, the higher the chances are for users to run into an error message. Whether it is because of entering an invalid data, or simply a bug that occurred in your app, it is essential to provide an easy-to-understand error message for your users to follow conveniently in order to fix the problem. Because nothing is more frustrating that receiving the same error over and over again, without being able to realize how to fix it.

8. Stick to More Graphics and Less Text

Not everyone will be using your app on a large tablet screen. Some of your users might be still using a smaller smartphone, which makes it difficult to read too much text on the tiny screen. So it is recommended to stick to using more graphics rather than text for a better user experience.

9. Clickable Screen Areas should be Large Enough for All Finger Types

Since the latest smartphones come with a touchscreen feature and no real keyboard, the only way your users can interact with your mobile app is by tapping or sliding the screen. So simply make sure the clickable buttons in your app are large enough to conveniently work with smaller and larger finger types.

Sentence Without Words Is Life Without Flash

‘You can change your world by changing your words….’ – Joel Osteen. Yes the right set of words can make or break a good piece of writing. My corporate strategy professor, after checking my coursework told me ‘you have all the right answers but it’s boring’ (he gave me a 50 for that coursework). The problem is, we know what we have to write, but we forget the importance of the words we use to put down our thoughts.

A sentence structure with ordered words will allow information to flow. It will be so effortless, that you will instantly identify the important parts of a sentence. Pictures and symbols can help in many instances, however it becomes subjective. Not to say that words can’t have the same problem. However if you choose the right words, they can help transfer ideas from one person to another.

Choosing the right word
The thesaurus will give you a number of options to use when looking for the right word – the dilemma is to choose which one! For e.g. a sunset can be described as lovely, beautiful, pretty, stunning etc. So how can you decide which word will work for you? That’s where verbal illustrations in a sentence in a thesaurus come in handy. They will show you how each of these words are typically used, and then you can choose your perfect word! If that also does not help, then look up the words in a dictionary to figure out the precise meaning of each word.

Introducing new words into your writing
A word on its own, means different from what it can mean when used within a sentence. Hence, it’s generally safer to use words you know well and have read, rather than utilising words randomly just because they are new. So if you want to introduce new words, then practice the words with different sentence constructs.

Understanding content & structure words in a sentence
Have you received those emails, which on the face of it look gibberish but when you read it out loud it makes absolute sense. That’s the difference between content and structure words – knowing the importance of each can help make your sentence stand out better. Content words are those which give meaning to a sentence. Whereas Structure words are those, which support the content words to make the sentence grammatically correct. If you removed the structure words the sentence would still make sense but it would not be the same if you removed the content words.

Ordering your Words is very important
The first rule of writing which allows you to engage your reader straight away is to engage with your reader interest at the earliest. Now this can be done only if we keep the context in mind. If we keep this in mind it will help us to decide which word order will work best for us.

“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.” - Emily Dickinson. This quote very nicely sums up my view on the importance of words!

Improve Your Fitness And Strength With Technology

Technology has touched every aspect of our lives and there are few areas that aren't affected by it. This includes fitness and sport which we are excelling at more and more all the time thanks to new technologies - and you don't need to be a pro-athlete or a tech fanatic to benefit yourself. Read on to find out how you can make the most of technology in order to improve your strength and fitness and start achieving more in sports.

Endomondo App
Endomondo is an app that is incredibly useful for people who run on a regular basis. This is a workout tracker in the same way that many other apps are, meaning that it will record your route as you run and give you statistics such as your average speed and the number of calories burned. Where Endomondo excels though is in its additional features which can be very useful. Not only can you get your friends and family to record you encouraging messages and then have them play back for you at certain points on your run but you can also share your runs with your friends through Facebook and more.

Biofeedback
Biofeedback is the name for any form of technology that gives you real-time information regarding the state of your body. For instance then, a heart rate monitor is a very basic example of biofeedback as is a pedometer. Anything like this is highly useful for working out, as it means that you can find out just how hard you're pushing yourself and thus train yourself in a very precise and exact way. This then makes it easy to gradually increase the intensity of your workouts and gradually lift more/run further/burn more calories.

Radiate Shirt
If you want a more 'high tech' example of biofeedback, then check out the Radiate shirt that found its funding through Kickstarter. This is a shirt that uses heat-sensing technology to change colour in response to blood flow. This then means that by looking in the mirror you can instantly spot which of your muscles you are working out the most effectively and thus ensure your training perfectly targets the exact areas you need to give that extra push.

Bodybuilding.Com App
Bodbuilding.com is perhaps the most popular website on the net for people trying to build muscle, and one of its best features is the impressive 'BodySpace' feature. Essentially BodySpace is a social network like Facebook but for bodybuilders and other athletes, which allows you to post pictures of your progress over time and to record your statistics, your diet and more.

While this is useful as a simple workout tracker (there are many more like that in the app stores), it's even better because it allows you to share tips and advice with other people in training while at the same time getting feedback and encouragement from a large community.
