Search Engine ranking in Bing is not the same as Google. You may have first page ranking on Google, but hardly be found on Bing. To rank in Bing, you must be aware of Bing's ranking factors, and work on improving your presence in those areas.
Even though BING has a beautiful interface and is much easier to use for image searching, it only has a 16% U.S. market share of search volume, compared to Google's 67%. If Google dominates, does Bing even matter?
Bing uses social media as a ranking factor. For this reason it has become increasingly...
Recently, Apple was hacked through malware designed to attack Mac computers through a Java vulnerability. Twitter disclosed that it had been breached on February 1. A month ago, I notified you of the possible problems with Java in my blog post "How to Disable Java: Homeland Security Cyber Crime Alert." My alert may have seemed drastic at the time, as I referenced a Homeland Security report on the Java plugin. But cyber attacks have been on the rise. During the last month, U.S. security investigators claim to have uncovered evidence that the...
Do you regret "friending" someone on Facebook? Will they know if you "unfriend" them? The answer is yes, but it depends on the frequency of your Facebook activity as well as the other person's. Friends will know they were rejected when trying to access your profile. They could note that they weren't receiving your posts; otherwise they may not notice (or care) at all.
Maybe you were overzealous when you first began using Facebook, inviting anyone and everyone to view your updates, photo albums, and news feed. Perhaps you "friended" a business acquaintance or competitor, and don't feel that it...
At last, the big Facebook announcement the market and press have been waiting for to take the Facebook IPO out of it's initial funk: Graph Search, a new way to find people, photos, places, and interests.
Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg announced the new feature this morning at Facebook's headquarters, stating that unlike other popular search engines, Graph Search is designed to show the answers and not links to answers. The Graph Search video demo shows searches for such things as "my friends who like trail running", "who like road...
Sorry to add one more bit of stressful news to an already stressed world, but I feel that I should advise you about a cyber crime alert recently reported by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for users of any web browser using the Java 7 plug-in. Apparently a new Sun Microsystems Java vulnerability is as already being used in for-sale tool kits that can be used to commit online cyber crimes such as stealing someone’s identity.
GOOD NEWS: A 2012 Mac update was created that removes all Java plugins from all Mac-compatible web...
Are you overwhelmed with new, online requirements for a professional business presence? The truth is, the longer you wait to upgrade your web presence, the more business you will lose in 2013. Here are 6 web and marketing essentials you must have in 2013 and why you can't afford NOT to upgrade your web presence now:
If you need more business, have competitors, and still don't have a website or social media presence at all (I know you are out there), you will get passed by. Regardless of your business needs, people expect you to have clear and concise information...
Change is one thing you can always count on in the world of Google and Facebook, mobile phones, and web protocols. Like it or not, these companies dictate what business owners must do in order to be seen and found on the web. This time last year, businesses had the task of transitioning from Google Local to the new Google+ local business presence and getting reviews from customers, friends, and colleagues. This year, Facebook is penetrating the local search market with "Facebook Nearby" for Android (Google) and iOS (Apple's) mobile device platforms. Now you can add Facebook reviews as another task...
Small businesses in small towns have to work harder to get up to speed with their web development in order to compete with large corporations. While larger companies with fully developed mobile e-commerce sites are already expanding to international markets, many small businesses with limited funds are still scratching their heads at what it means to have a mobile-friendly website.
It is very sad to see mom-and-pop and retail stores close down because they simply can't compete with corporate pricing and advertising. Developing web operations for small businesses is critical to economic recovery. Whether a small business sells online or not, ...
Don't let this happen to you.
Your domain name is up for renewal. You have received a letter telling you that your domain name registration will expire soon and you should renew it now.

In order to move your domain name back to your previous registrar, complicated procedures are required of you including getting an authorization code. You don't know what the authorization code is and you don't...
Even though WordPress first began as a blogging tool, it has become a foremost Content Management (CMS) platform for a web presence that gets frequently updated.
