Will you Wibiya?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

A new social media application popping up on more and more websites is the Wibiya social toolbar. It resembles a true toolbar and resides at the bottom off website page.  It’s very customizable, so the toolbar will look different for every company, but you can expect to see the a company logo and the logos of other social media on it.

Alright, enough about what it looks like.  You want to know what it does.  Basically it links to your company’s social media and gives visitors a glimpse of these other pages without navigating away from your site.  So, if a visitor clicks the Facebook button on your Wibiya toolbar, a window opens displaying your company’s friends and fans and your Facebook wall.  Visitors can “Like” your page from the toolbar, read your Tweets, subscribe to your RSS feeds, and more.

I would like to introduce you to a combination of therapies that has both intrigued me and allowed many people to return to health. I am fascinated with the myriad ways in which health can be optimized. Techniques and therapies have dropped in my lap just as I have needed them. As a chiropractor, I am able to offer many different types of care. Most people are familiar with chiropractic, the art and science of practicing by hand, allowing a person’s innate intelligence to heal the body once subluxations are removed from the spine, joints are returned to their normal function and pressure is removed from the peripheral nervous system. Newer to the field of the healing arts are Advanced Allergy Therapeutics and Cranial Spinal Integration, an offshoot of and improvement on the BioCranial System, and a way to free the central nervous system of stress and irritation.

Google’s instant improvement

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

As Google continues to maintain its status as top search engine against Microsoft’s Bing engine, it continues to innovate with new features.  First it added value by supplying search term suggestions as users typed.  Now, Google is taking the next step and is testing out delivering instant search results as users type.

As this Reuters article points out, Google is in such an early stage of testing instant search results that it’s not even confirming that the feature is in the works. Nevertheless, there’s sufficient evidence that testing is in progress and acknowledgment from experts that instant search results will further separate Google from the pack.  The feature requires so many resources on the back end that Google will have to strain to deliver it and its competitors will find it impossible to match it.

If your company’s blog is up and running and you’re regularly updating it with new posts, good job.  You’re optimizing your site and moving up in search engine results.  Now you’re ready for the next step:  getting links to your blog posted on other sites.  The more links there are to your site, the higher it will rise in search results. This article from Entireweb.com has a number of good suggestions for getting links to your blog.

  1. Pay for them.  The quick and easy way to generate links is to find appropriate online directories for your industry and purchase a listing in them.  If you’re unwilling or unable to spend this money, there are other options that are free but require more effort.
  2. Add video.  Search engines like sites with video (and videos give you the opportunity to list your keywords again in the metadata), and there are online directories dedicated to sites with video.  (Okay, you’ll have to pay for some of these too.)
  3. Participate in other blogs.  If you find other blogs similar to yours, comment on the posts and include a link to your blog as part of your signature.  First, you’ve created a link to your blog elsewhere.  Second, you’ve opened the door for readers of the other blog to increase traffic to your site.  Third, if readers see you as an authority, they’ll create their own links to your blog.
