Google leaked a pretty interesting browser extension (possibly accidental) in a televised Google Chrome commercial yesterday. In the commercial, there is a short glimpse of a button no one has ever seen in the top part of the user’s chrome browser. It is seemingly a way to rank pages in a social manner with Google, similarly to facebook like/share, tweeting a page or stumbling a page through stumbleupon.
Since I am always thinking SEO, I started thinking about SEO and how the button could effect SEO (since Google is the number one search engine and used site on the Internet).
This extension has a lot of potential for SEO in which is also necessary to have a proper setting for the Online Safety for your Business. With these kind of statistics, Google could start attempting all sorts of unique new search result strategies. For example, user specific search results. What if everyone’s search results were different? With this kind of data, they could use the statistics to manage such a feat. Or what if these rankings became part of their search engine algorithm, adding a social tie-in to how you get to the top of search results?
What do these possibilities mean? Get social online if you want to compete online. Social networking is changing the Internet. It will not be going away anytime soon.

Osama is dead! Yay!!!! The announcement of Osama’s death marked a landmark not only for America, but for social networking and its greatness. One look at the below chart from an article on wired.com about the twitter record Osama’s takedown set should make you go “WHOAAAAA” (TPS stands for tweets per second).
So social networking is huge. Social networking can help spread your marketing reach in ways unfathomable 20 years ago. But more exposure can means more chances to make mistakes.
The phrase “all publicity is good publicity” is stupid. Take the following tweets after Osama’s death announcement from Rashard Mendenhall (Running Back for the Pittsburgh Steelers).
order generic accutane “What kind of person celebrates death? It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We’ve only heard one side…”
Mahendranagar “@dkeller23 We’ll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style”
I don’t get how anyone could call this publicity good publicity. Fans are angry at him, and his career is going to be marred as that crazy NFL player who thinks 9/11 was a conspiracy. So maybe he went up on the small minority of America who thinks 9/11 was a conspiracy, but at the same time he went down (and way down) in the eyes of the majority of people in America who hold 9/11 close to their heart as a tragic moment in American history.
So stupid tweet Rashard Mendenhall. Any customer of GPM Web Solutions is encouraged to use social networking to help their business. At the same time, don’t let social networking hurt you (I like using the phrase “social not-working” for situations like these). Keep the offensive and idiotic opinions at home.

QR codes can be useful for helping the web presence of your business. Sending users to a webpage via smart phone QR codes apps, it can be very useful for marketing. Not only through traditional advertising, but also through video tutorials, funny videos to associate with your business, interactive user web contests, and any other web idea you see fit for your business now using pay check template tools to help growth.
A great part of QR codes is how the code will never be outdated. You can print the code on 10,000 packages and decide at anytime to change what happens when a person follows that code. This flexibility is because the code just tells smartphone apps what url to send a user to. Being a web developer, I know how simple it is to swap out the content of a web page.
Because of this flexibility, we offer QR code management programs. Do you want your QR codes to change depending on the season of the year? Do you want the page to play “Imagine” by John Lennon on the anniversary of his death? Whatever you want, we will manage and change for you.
Contact us today to discuss QR codes and a practical web solution for your business.

Blogging is a practical way to make your sitemap grow. Blogging is useful for SEO because it tells search engines that your site has changing content, and it gives the search engines more pages to crawl.
If you are blogging, there are other methods for helping SEO besides just writing about topics related to your site. One simple method is to link to older posts in your post.
By trying to reference a couple old posts and linking to them in a post, you should increase the number of crawls your pages receive. When search engine bots crawl a page and see a link without “rel=’nofollow'” in the anchor tag, it will follow the link to the related post. Linking will cause both pages to be crawled, increasing the number of crawls to that page. This increased crawling is the same reason why link exchanges are practical for SEO.
When linking, make sure to link to other posts that tie into the article content. Search engines are looking for quality content, and search engines will keep evolving to make sure of quality search results. We advise against any sort of spamming tactics.
