7 Tips To Beat The Google Panda

Google Panda is the latest update rolled out by Google in the manner by which it ranks websites in the search results. If you have been working with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) field, then you have an idea how this new Google search algorithm has impacted a lot of websites in its search result. The purpose of this new Google search algorithm is to bring back the sites with quality contents up the search rankings and bring the sites with low quality contents to the bottom of the rankings.

Gone are the traditional practices of ranking websites where you simply write an article, put some backlinks in it and pay some service providers to spin it and submit it to thousands of spammy websites and, voila, your website is ranked high in the search engines overnight. If you ever attempt to do this technique now, your website is guaranteed to plummet at the bottom of the search engine rankings or worst it could be banned by Google as a spam site.

Benefit of Google Panda

One of the benefits of the Google Panda update is that it levelled the playing fields in search rankings. It used to be that wealthy businesses can spend millions of dollars to buy practically thousands of websites with bots contents accessing their main website thereby fooling the search engines into ranking them high in the search results to the detriment of smaller competing businesses that cannot spend as much on similar tactics.
So, Google Panda seemed like a poker-faced gatekeeper of search rankings. How, then, can you make your website rank high on the search engine results page (SERP)?

7 Tips To Beat The Google Panda

1. Write good quality content. Putting good quality contents on your site is mandatory. Google Panda is very particular on the contents of your site. Good quality means that the subject matter must be something of value to the readers. Put contents that are informative and quality editorial subject matters.

2. Contents must be unique. Unique contents mean that it is not a duplicate of another topic somewhere on another website. Plagiarism is, therefore, to be avoided at all cost.

3. Update your site regularly. Putting good quality and unique contents on your site at regular intervals is an indication to Google web crawlers that your site is active and lively.

4. Avoid low quality backlinks. Low quality backlinks are those links to your site coming from websites intended to spam. Be very careful when submitting articles to websites that spam other sites. Your site will definitely be downgraded by Google, or worst, your site will be blocked.

5. Avoid high add ratio. Do not plaster too many ads all over your site. It may be favourable to adsense but it is not wise to optimizing it for search purposes.

6. On page SEO should match off page SEO. Your site meta tags including the keywords of your site contents should match the contents of your site. As much as possible, links pointing to your site must come from contents of other website that at least share similar subject matter.

7. Do not forget the social media platform. It would seem that Google is using signals coming from social media such as Facebook, Google+, Twitter and bookmarking sites in gauging the rankings of websites. It would then help a lot to create link to your site from these social sites. Be mindful, however, that this social media sites have lately been used to launch spam which is a big violation to Google Panda algorithm.

As it has always been proven true, prevention is better than cure. Do not try to circumvent the rules of Google Panda. You may get away with it maybe for a short period of time, but once it catches you, then you can kiss your ranking goodbye. Play the game fairly and you will thrive.

10 Tips for Successful Business Networking

Effective business networking is the linking together of individuals who, through trust and relationship building, become walking, talking advertisements for one another.

1. Keep in mind that networking is about being genuine and authentic, building trust and relationships, and seeing how you can help others.
   
   
   
   
2. Ask yourself what your goals are in participating in networking meetings so that you will pick groups that will help you get what you are looking for. Some meetings are based more on learning, making contacts, and/or volunteering rather than on strictly making business connections.
   
   
   
   
3. Visit as many groups as possible that spark your interest. Notice the tone and attitude of the group. Do the people sound supportive of one another? Does the leadership appear competent? Many groups will allow you to visit two times before joining.
   
   
   
   
4. Hold volunteer positions in organizations. This is a great way to stay visible and give back to groups that have helped you.

5. Ask open-ended questions in networking conversations. This means questions that ask who, what, where, when, and how as opposed to those that can be answered with a simple yes or no. This form of questioning opens up the discussion and shows listeners that you are interested in them.
   
   
   
   
6. Become known as a powerful resource for others. When you are known as a strong resource, people remember to turn to you for suggestions, ideas, names of other people, etc. This keeps you visible to them.
   
   
   
   
7. Have a clear understanding of what you do and why, for whom, and what makes your doing it special or different from others doing the same thing. In order to get referrals, you must first have a clear understanding of what you do that you can easily articulate to others.
   
   
   
   
8. Be able to articulate what you are looking for and how others may help you. Too often people in conversations ask, "How may I help you?" and no immediate answer comes to mind.
   
   
   
   
9. Follow through quickly and efficiently on referrals you are given. When people give you referrals, your actions are a reflection on them. Respect and honor that and your referrals will grow.
   
   
   
   
10. Call those you meet who may benefit from what you do and vice versa. Express that you enjoyed meeting them, and ask if you could get together and share ideas.

How to Set Up Your Business Network to Connect From Home

Telecommuting is the ability to work from home. What was once only an option for large corporations, has now become a viable solution for many small to medium-sized businesses. But if you are like many small business owners who have little in the way of IT staff, you may not know where to start. This article provides a broad view of the technology and steps necessary to allow you and your employees to remotely connect to your business network from home.

Things You'll Need

• Internet Connections
• Modem
• Router

Instructions

• 1

  Make sure that you have a good Internet connection for your business. Select broadband, either DSL or cable, since dial-up service is too slow. If you can afford it, go for the best upload and download speeds. It'll cost you more, but will be worth it in the end because you will have large amounts of data coming and going.

  If you're familiar with networking you know that on a network each device has a number called an IP address that identifies it. In the case of an Internet connection, the router or modem that connects you to the Internet also has it's own IP address assigned to it from the provider. This address can be dynamic (meaning it may change everytime your location connects to the Internet) or static (the IP address is set and never changes). Because you'll be using this IP address to connect to work from home, it pays to have a static IP address for your business, so you will always know what it is. Basic services usually do not have static IP addresses, but if you get a business class Internet service it will normally include one. Ask your ISP beforehand to be sure. If you don't have a static IP adress at work, you can still work from home by confirming whatever the IP address currently is. The easiest way to do this is by opening a browser on your computer at work and going to whatismyip.com. (Note: the Internet connection at home does not have to have a static IP, only at the business location.)

  You will also need to ensure that your business has its own Internet firewall for security. A firewall is a piece of hardware or software that controls what connections get to come in and out of your location. The good news is that most retail routers have a firewall built in. You will have to open up ports in your workplace firewall to accomodate the VPN connection explained below.

  VPN (Virtual Private Networking) is the technology that will allow you to actually connect to your workplace. How VPN works is that the business location will have a device that creates a VPN "tunnel" with a software VPN client on your computer at home. The device at your workplace could be a computer server or a standalone piece of hardware. The "tunnel" is encryped using PPTP, L2TP, IPSEC or whatever protocol the device uses. The encryption of the tunnel will protect your data as it flies across the Internet "cloud." Both Microsoft and Mac servers support serving VPN connections right out of the box. Examples of manufacturers of professional hardware VPN devices are: Cisco, Watchguard, SonicWall and Juniper. There are also plenty of inexpensive VPN devices by Linksys, DLink, Netgear and other consumer companies.

  While you're at home you will connect to to your workplace using the public IP address of your business and VPN client software running on your home computer. The client software used greatly depends on what the device is at the workplace. In most cases you can create the VPN connection directly from Windows or your Mac with no extra software, but a dedicated piece of VPN hardware such as a Sonicwall has its own proprietary software client that has to be installed on the computer.

  Now that you are connected to your workplace you can share data between your home computer and office computers just like they were on the same network. Note, however, that data being sent across the Internet is going to be a lot slower than on a local network. With that in mind, there are some solutions that work better than others for delivering data and applications across VPN and it really just depends on what you are using. One of the most popular solutions for delivering applications is called Terminal Services. With Terminal Services you would have a Microsoft Terminal Services server setup at the business location where the database is. The home user uses a Terminal Services client to connect to the server and each client gets its own "session" on the server. They see a Windows desktop just as if they were working on their own machine--but in reality they are working on the server at the business location across the Internet. The applications run on the server which has local access to the database, so it's much faster than sending the actual data across the Internet. There are other applications that work well in this scenario including: Citrix, Lotus Notes, SQL applications and Unix terminals. Another popular solution would be to just connect to your work PC directly instead of to a server. This would allow you to control the desktop of your work PC just like you were there. Some great applications for that would be VNC or RAdmin.

Welcome to the World of Networking

Incorporated in Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Business networking is a socioeconomic activity by which groups of like-minded businesspeople recognize, create, or act upon business opportunities. A business network is a type of social network whose reason for existing is business activity. There are several prominent business networking organizations that create models of networking activity that, when followed, allow the business person to build new business relationships and generate business opportunities at the same time.

 A professional network service is an implementation of information technology in support of business networking. Many businesspeople contend business networking is a more cost-effective method of generating new business than advertising or public relations efforts. This is because business networking is a low-cost activity that involves more personal commitment than company money.

As an example, a business network may agree to meet weekly or monthly with the purpose of exchanging business leads and referrals with fellow members. To complement this activity, members often meet outside this circle, on their own time, and build their own one-to-one relationship with the fellow member.

Business networking can be conducted in a local business community, or on a larger scale via the Internet. Business networking websites have grown over recent years due to the Internet's ability to connect people from all over the world. Internet companies often set up business leads for sale to bigger corporations and companies looking for data sources.

Value of Networking

Large firms networks vs. small business networks

Large firms networks spread wider than small business, but the difference between the two types is that to be part of a large firm network you have to achieve a preset level of success, for example fly over to China find out which factory manufactures your favorite product, go to the factory owner, offer to buy a large quantity of the product, he will give you a quote; when he does take that quote and compare to current retail prices, if it's not lower than the retail market by 300 percent to 400 percent, then this factory is part of a business network, meaning they provide the special price only to the network members. This keeps the real value of the product hidden from the public and only available to the large firms they deal with.

Leverage

Online business networking

Businesses are increasingly using business social networks as a means of growing their circle of business contacts and promoting themselves online. In general these networking tools allow professionals to build up their circle of business partners they trust. By connecting these business partners the networking tools allow individuals to search for certain people within their network. Through introductions, the members of these tools then can get in contact with new prospective business partners. Since businesses are expanding globally, social networks make it easier to keep in touch with other contacts around the world. Specific cross-border e-commerce platforms and business partnering networks now make globalization accessible also for small and medium sized companies.

Face-to-face business networking

Professionals who wish to leverage their presentation skills with the urgency of physically being present attend general and exclusive events. Many professionals tend to prefer face-to-face networking over online based networking because the potential for higher quality relationships are possible. Many individuals also prefer face-to-face because people tend to prefer actually knowing and meeting who they intend to do business with.

Face to face business networking is often facilitated by referral networking clubs.

Advantage

General business networking

Before online networking, there was and has always been, networking face-to-face. "Schmoozing" or "rubbing elbows" are expressions used among business professionals for introducing and meeting one another, and establishing rapport.

Networked Businesses

With networking developing, many businesses now have this as a core part of their strategy. Those that have developed a strong network of connections suppliers and companies can be seen as Networked Businesses, and will tend to source the business and their suppliers through the network of relationships that they have in place. Networked businesses tend to be open, random, and supportive, whereas those relying on hierarchical, traditional managed approaches are closed, selective, and controlling. These phrases were first used by Thomas Power, chairman of Ecademy, an online business network, in May 2009.

It's your choice!

Business networking in the ICT domain

Companies and organizations, and related value chains and value networks need some sort of IT support. Traditionally, it is provided by software applications, software packages, ERPs, and/or workflows; presently, also by different types of web-based innovations.

A truly ICT business networking approach rethinks and rebuilds the operating support from scratch, around two key business features: information contributions, to be provided by the activities involved, whether they are performed by human beings, automated tools or jointly by the two, in a coordinated way; and automated information exchanges, to be provided by the TLC network.

Information contributions and exchanges, in turn, need to be supported by data storage and access security (signature, encryption, authentication, decryption), which both can be provided either as add-ons or as built-in features.
