			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are various methods to compare your performance with your competitors online. Various elements can be checked out like design, content, technologies, etc. When it comes to the functionality and result-orientation methods, SEO softwares can play a leading role. This article explains what an SEO software can do for you to get an edge over your competitors.</p>
<p>Link Analysis Is the Key</p>
<p>Among various tactics you can use to find out how your competitor is doing on the web, analyzing its links are one of the most significant methods. But, what I mean by link analysis is to discover:</p>
<p>O Where your competitors&#8217; links are coming from</p>
<p>O What technologies are used in the links obtained</p>
<p>O What the quality of their incoming links are</p>
<p>O What alt tags are used in their image links</p>
<p>O What keyphrases are used in the anchor text of the link</p>
<p>O When those links are obtained</p>
<p>When you know what it means to have powerful backlinks to your site, you proceed to build value links to your site so that you can surpass your competitors. 75% of the reason for your competitors&#8217; success on the search engines is because of the links. Here you will see how important it is to take link analysis seriously.</p>
<p>Various Strategies to Surpass Competitors</p>
<p>When you see where your competitors get their links from, you may be able to get links from the same sites. Another solution will be to identify the category of such sites and find the authority entities at that category. You can find a more relevant one to get links form.</p>
<p>Care should be taken to use html for the links you obtain from other site. Javascript, flash, and a lot of other technologies may make your links look more beautiful, but from performance point of view, it won&#8217;t be any thing effective in your search engine rankings. So, keep away from anything rather than text links or image links plus keyword-rich alt tags.</p>
<p>It must be considered to obtain links from high ranking authority sites that are relevant to your site&#8217;s content. This will boost your site&#8217;s ranking dramatically. Using an SEO software, you can pinpoint every single site that links to your competitors. Then, upon your discovery, strategies can be defined and solutions can be described.</p>
<p>Get a Quality SEO Software</p>
<p>Search engine optimization has got several different channels. Some refer to the on-page improvement tips and tactics as SEO measures and some use a range of other media to increase the link popularity of a site like article marketing, press release marketing, social media, etc.</p>
<p>As a whole, you first need to make sure that your site is a search engine friendly one. Then, you proceed to build backlinks to certain landing pages at your site that are optimized for particular keywords. A combination of such measure on a regular and consistent manner can help you get an edge over your competitors.</p>
<p>Site Booster gives you access to a <a href="http://www.site-booster.com/blog/recommendations/free-seo-software/">Free SEO Software</a>, and helps you <a href="http://www.site-booster.com/blog/recommendations/professional-blogging/">become a professional blogger</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Save paper, save toner, save desk space and save electricity! Start using an email fax system today. Instead of buying an expensive fax machine and dealing with paper jams and expensive toner, using fax to email is free (most times) and you can store all your faxes digitally!</p>
<p>We used to have a fax machine at home, many years ago. We bought it second hand because the darned things are so expensive brand new! It was the type of fax machine that works on a roll of paper and then a mechanism in the machine heats the paper in just the right pattern to make the digital fax picture (or words) turn into a picture (or words) on paper. Or, at least, that&#8217;s my very basic understanding of how it worked.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a cute idea but it&#8217;s not really practical any more. Fax paper is expensive and usually looks unprofessional. And usually you&#8217;ll get a 17-page fax come in while you&#8217;re waiting on an important call. Besides, who wants to read a roll of paper? This isn&#8217;t early Rome, I like my paper white and flat, thank you very much! It&#8217;s completely impractical!</p>
<p>A year after we bought our fax, it started fading. Now we were struggling to read our faxes and we were spending too much money on paper. The system wasn&#8217;t working &#8211; it was just too clunky.</p>
<p>Now, in more recent years, we&#8217;ve switched to email fax as a solution &#8211; the results? It&#8217;s free, we each have our own fax number, our faxes are always clear, the line is never busy, we never have to replace expensive fax paper and we can print the odd fax out (it really doesn&#8217;t happen often) using our el cheapo HP laser printer. And we get great quality every time!</p>
<p>The thing is, we&#8217;re already using the printer so it doesn&#8217;t really add much strain to also print faxes on it and we only print a few, now and then, when we need to sign the fax or something.</p>
<p>You can receive all your faxes as PDFs so you can open them on Windows, Mac, or even Linux. You don&#8217;t need to install any special software or do anything special at all to receive email faxes! All you need is an internet connection, an email address, and a free email fax number.</p>
<p>My favourite thing about our email fax service is that I can store all my faxes in my Gmail account and never lose them! I use Gmail&#8217;s labelling service to categorise faxes and that&#8217;s it! I can store 100s, even 1000s of faxes like this and never run out of space!</p>
<p>Save yourself some hassle, save a few trees and keep your faxes digital &#8211; get an email fax number.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nowadays, managing online reputation has become part and parcel of online marketing, thus you will need to have some good online listening and monitoring tools.  There are many tools out there and some are costly tools (such as Radian6 and Scoutlabs), not forgetting some of those greedy agencies and consultants that will charge you a bomb by doing the service for you.</p>
<p>I have compiled here some good tools that you can use to monitor online buzz for your brands and the best thing is these are all FREE tools.  </p>
<p>1. Google Alerts</p>
<p>This is the most important and basic automated tool that can help people and businesses monitor the Internet for developments and activities that could concern them. Google currently offers six types of alert searches: News, Web, Blogs, Comprehensive, Video and Groups and results are sent to subscribers daily by e-mail or via RSS feeds.</p>
<p>2. Addictomatic</p>
<p>Addictomatic searches the best live sites on the web for the latest news, blog posts, videos and images. It&#8217;s the perfect tool to keep up with the hottest topics, perform ego searches and feed your addiction for what&#8217;s up, what&#8217;s now or what other people are feeding on. Addictomatic shows you results from Twitter, Friendfeed, Bing News, Google blog search, Digg, Delicious, Technorati, Twingly, etc. You do not even need to register on the site!</p>
<p>3. BlogPulse</p>
<p>BlogPulse is an automated trend discovery system for blogs, a free service by Nielsen Buzzmetric. It is actually a blog search engine that also analyzes and reports on daily activity in the blogosphere. </p>
<p>4. Boardtracker</p>
<p>This tool specializes in monitoring forums. Boardtracker is currently following more than 66 million topics on more than 37,000 forums.</p>
<p>5. Bloglines</p>
<p>Bloglines is a free online service for searching, subscribing, creating and sharing news feeds, blogs and rich web content. Bloglines can be used to start monitoring the sources you are interested in. </p>
<p>6. Commentful</p>
<p>Commentful is a service that watches comments/follow-ups on Blog posts, Digg submissions, Flickr galleries, and many other types of content. When ever there is an update, i.e a new follow-up, Commentful notifies you instantly.</p>
<p>7. Ice Rocket</p>
<p>IceRocket is an Internet search engine specialized in searching blogs. It also offers a search module for Myspace, and this makes it the only tool of these that does so.</p>
<p>8. HowSociable</p>
<p>HowSociable provides a simple way for you to begin measuring your brand&#8217;s visibility on the social web. You can have your Google Blog Posts score, Twitter score, Flickr score, Youtube, Myspace, etc, on the same page. This tool can be very useful to measure the impact of your actions across the social networks.</p>
<p>9. Facebook Lexicon</p>
<p>Lexicon is a tool to understand what Facebook&#8217;s users are talking about on Walls. Use the tabs at the top to explore different trends in the topics listed in the drop-down menu. Lexicon never looks at messages, Chat, searches, or other private data.</p>
<p>10. Keotag</p>
<p>Keotag allows you to search content tags. Once you have picked a tag, Keotag lets you choose the sites you want to it search for you. Of course, the classics among the choices are: Google, Twitter, Technorati, Reddit, Digg and others. </p>
<p>11. Social Mention</p>
<p>Social Mention is a social media search platform that allows you to easily track what people are saying about you, your company, a new product, or any topic across the web&#8217;s social media landscape in real-time.

<p>12. BackType</p>
<p>BackType is a conversational search engine that index and connect millions of conversations from blogs, social networks and other social media so people can find, follow and share comments.</p>
<p>Of course there are  a lots more listening tools available, especially for social media e.g. twitter which I will need to talk about twitter monitoring tools in my next blog.  But I think the above tools would be a good start.</p>
<p>Last but not least, you can also use Yahoo! Pipes to create your own online buzz monitoring tool. Yahoo! Pipes is a web application from Yahoo! that provides a graphical user interface for building data mashups that aggregate web feeds,web pages, and other services, creating Web-based apps from various sources, and publishing those apps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It would seem we are now in the age of the virtual world, where you can text your friends and send ecards for special occasions. If you search online for ecards you will find numerous companies that offer electronic cards to send to your friends for any occasion, be it their birthday, graduation or a special holiday. So why do we send cards anyway? Whether they are electronic or made from paper, cards have been a popular mode for many years of expressing feelings and gratitude to one another. </p>
<p>Before the internet, cards were hand picked and sent through the post. Since the internet however more and more ecards have been sent instead. Ecards are location friendly so you can send your wishes anywhere across the world for free to friends and family no matter how far away they are. You also are helping save the environment by choosing to send electronic cards as there is no paper used or other packaging and they do not have to be delivered by a form of transport. </p>
<p>You should not underestimate the choice that is available regarding ecards, online you can find cards for literally any event. So if you want to send holiday greetings or celebrate a religious festival it is all made easy and available with the ecard. Not only that but some cards are actually made of a flash animation that can be up to 30 seconds. Considering how cheap that is to send worldwide in comparison to posting an actual card it is easy to see why they are so popular.</p>
<p>Most of the sites that you find online for cards are free, and additionally to this there are ecards that you can print off for free and have as your own. Almost all of the cards that are online are easily printed off too, meaning that if you need a card quickly for an occasion it can all be done with the click of a mouse. Some companies do charge however, but this only a small amount for a membership which comes with many benefits, some of the ecards I have seen that cost are far better than those that are offered online as free.</p>
<p>So to get sending your ecards, simply register to a company online, (its better to register to a site as it will be easier to find it again if you like it). Browse through their collection and see if there is anything you like or that is appropriate for the occasion and select the card you like. Then you can simply print off the card and send it straight away or you can email it to the recipient instantly.</p>
<p>Dominic Donaldson is an expert in the greetings industry.<br />

You may not have a large budget to spend on expensive web designers and flashy websites with all the bells and whistles, so a quick and easy free website builder maybe exactly what you&#8217;re looking for in terms of accessibility and expenditure.</p>
<p>2. With web design software freely available on the internet anyone can build a website even your granny! I know you&#8217;re probably thinking to yourself I don&#8217;t know anything about computers or programming I could never build a website! You see but that&#8217;s the brilliant thing about these quick and easy free website builders You don&#8217;t have to. These software packages offer simple interfaces modelled on common word processors and, use a function called WYSIWYG or ( What You See Is What You Get). Simply type, insert, or drag and drop the information where you want it, click save and your done. Some even come with pre-designed templates for you to insert your content.</p>
<p>3. Learning to use a quick and easy free website builder is fast too! And here&#8217;s why You will not be saddled with some 2000 word text manual, filling your head with technical jargon for which you need a PHD Degree to understand. Instead you will have access to step by step tutorials showing you in great detail how to use the software therefore, eliminating lost time spent studying. Plus if your actual website builder does not come with tutorials you&#8217;ll be able to find them online for free!</p>
<p>4. Many of the WYSIWYG editors are very simple to use, of course some are more complex than others as is the case with most products within any given market. Your task is to choose the one that is most compatible to your needs. However they all offer an extremely user friendly interface based on standard word processors. If you are familiar with Microsoft Office or its free online counterpart Open Office you will find the layout in free website builders to be almost identical with the same access to tools, edit functions, fonts, saving options etc. So if you can type a letter in principle you can build a website!</p>
<p>5. One big advantage to making your own websites is time. Let me explain, when you enlist the services of a web design company you are at the mercy of their schedule not yours! You may have to wait 5-6 weeks for your website to be ready depending on their expected turn around it could be less depending how much you want to pay. Some companies offer express packages if you&#8217;re willing to pay for the privilege. In that time you could have built 3 or 4 websites yourself!</p>
<p>6. This last and final point is something I found to be quite difficult when dealing with web design companies, especially when I first started out online. And that is getting them to do exactly what I asked them to do! </p>
<p>Because you are not dealing with them face to face, its hard really to get your points across. They would quite often speak to me in technical jargon, knowing full well I couldn&#8217;t understand what they were saying leaving me vulnerable, and having to accept their decisions because I was green around the ears, needless to say it was a costly lesson to learn! </p>
<p>At least if you start to teach yourself how to create websites, you are then in a better position to communicate your specific design requirements in the future when dealing with web design companies or freelance designers.</p>
<p>So there you have it my 6 reasons for using a quick and easy free website builder to save costs, because you don&#8217;t need technical knowledge, you get step by step tutorials, they are very user friendly, it saves you time and gives you complete control over the look and feel of your website.</p>
<p>I hope you have found this article helpful and in the future you decide to use a quick and easy free website builder.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not so long ago the prospect of building a website scared the be-jesus out of me. The thought of spending countless hours sifting through pages and pages and pages of HTML (hyper text markup language) seemed a never ending task, resulting in frustration and anger.</p>
<p>The alternative was to pay a professional to build websites for you, this too was not always fruitful, not least because of the costs involved. If you&#8217;re running on a tight budget it may not prove cost effective to hire a web guy. Especially if you are just beginning your online adventure, add to that finding a web company that is sympathetic to your inexperience is often quite tricky, you may find getting your specific requirements hard.</p>
<p>So what a god send when clever webmasters started to produce technology which enabled ordinary folk to build their own websites and for free!</p>
<p>At last you could build your own website free no strings and without knowing a stitch of html programming so how do you do it?</p>
<p>First to build your own website free you will need to do a little research online seeking out the best software for you! If you just want a html editor you can find many of these online. You can even find free website templates which you can open with an editor and then simply insert your content, such as logo, header graphics, text, navigation, images etc. And be ready to upload in minutes!</p>
<p>Another way is to keep everything in house under one roof so to speak, and download a free website builder that offers you the option of creating a website from scratch, or to build your website free with templates already installed within the program. This option will give you a multitude of options and design capabilities plus the bonus of saving you precious time and money.</p>
<p>Once you have your software you can start to plan how to build your website. Next you will need to register your domain name, you can do this in many places such as GoDaddy or Namedaddy, then you will want to consider hosting. Now hosting is where your site will be viewed from, think of it like this, your domain name is the street where your house is your hosting is the number where your house is situated on the street!</p>
<p>Now, you can have either free hosting or set up a hosting account. Both offer pros and cons but if I were to choose I would always opt for a paid hosting account as they are professional and far more reliable. Also with free hosting accounts you may have to put up with annoying text or banner advertising on your website in order for the hosting company to create some revenue from you, this is fine if your website is just for personal use but if you want to create a business image this will not come across well.</p>
<p>So Now you are ready to make your website open up your free web tool, choose a template and drag and drop in your content when you&#8217;re done simply publish your content to the world! Oh yes I forgot to mention when you choose your free website creator make sure it comes with full tutorials on how to use the thing, or you could be spending time trying to figure things out!</p>
<p>So to build a website for free search for free website software then register a domain name get affordable hosting (you could do both in the same place) then make your website that&#8217;s it told you it was simple!</p>
<p>I hope you found this short article useful and you have a better idea of how you can build your own website free.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When choosing a free website editor you will need to ask yourself some questions because there are so many of them online now, there seems very little to choose between them at least on the surface.</p>
<p>So first ask yourself what will I (you) have to do to use this free website editor? Do I have to know html? Do I have to agree to host my website with the same company for using the software? Does the software come with easy to edit templates installed? </p>
<p>The best free website editors come with tutorials showing you how to use the software and should offer no strings attached. You can find completely free website editors such as, The Free Html Editor or free open source software like NVU. </p>
<p>Powerful software tools with easy to use interfaces, with no strings attached enable you to create professional looking websites very quickly and you don&#8217;t need any experience as you can find full video tutorials offering complete step by step guides perfect for the newbie!</p>
<p>No big thick text book with pages and pages of technical jargon that you simply can&#8217;t understand and frankly don&#8217;t want to understand, instead just click the mouse button and watch then repeat what you saw simple!</p>
<p>These are by no means the only totally free website editors, you can find many others but you will have to look carefully to dig out the gems. </p>
<p>The truth is this, many of the so called free website editors are in fact only free provided you agree to certain conditions like registering your domain name with the service or agreeing to host your website with the service. Examples of this are Blue Voda or Weebly.com. And then depending on the type of hosting package you agree you may well end up with unsightly banner advertisements on your website. </p>
<p>Even popular software like Dreamweaver and Microsoft Frontpage now (Expression Web) are only free for a trial period and can be incredibly expensive and complicated to use. </p>
<p>Most of your time will be spent trying to figure out how to use the program rather than cranking out websites quickly, I mean they are perfect if you really want to learn programming but if you just want to drag and drop copy and paste you need to go another way, if you are familiar with a word processor like Microsoft Word then a WYSIWYG editor will be easy for you to use featuring the same type of layout.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for the best free website editor make sure you do extensive searches for the one that is quick easy and simple to use with no hidden catches.</p>
<p>I hope you have found this article helpful in your search for the best free website editors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The last year has been a Twitter renaissance for hundreds of professionals around the world. With the recent article in Entertainment Weekly telling us the Truth About Twitter, it is becoming obvious that thousands of business professionals will be adopting Twitter as a business tool in 2009.</p>
<p>The following are a list of lessons I have learned in my Tweet time.</p>
<p>1. Search: Simply put www.search.twitter.com is your friend-use it till it breaks! You can search the keyword terms that are important to your business. You can also RSS that search, it will update real time. </p>
<p>Check back to Twitter often and connect with the Twitter folk who mention your keywords. Chances are that will lead to serendipitous business opportunities.</p>
<p>2. Say hello and Re-tweet often: Saying hello to past business partners, friends and targeting companies you would like connect with will serve you well. One way to break the ice is to re-tweet posts of people you are looking to connect with deeper. </p>
<p>Also, dont be shy! Saying hello to business folks who can strategically help your business is the only way Twitter will work for you. The nerdy kid at the dance wont get shot down unless he asks. </p>
<p>Who knows, maybe the girl in pigtails will say yes!</p>
<p>3. Comment: Comment on valuable Twitter posts. If a link is shared in that past, be sure to click on the link and comment with a link back to your blog and Twitter profile. Commenting shows interest and interest is currency in Twitter.</p>
<p>4. Dont ever close a door: Unless the follower is SPAM, dont close the door on followers who at first blush do not look like they can help your cause. Thank them for the follow and share a pertinent link to them via a direct tweet. You never know when serendipitous business opportunities will find you.</p>
<p>5. Use Hashtags: #Hashtags are a great way for your twitter account to be found for the keywords and terms important to your business. For example, if your business is hamburgers, then it makes sense to use the following hashtags: #hamburgers or #cheeseburgers &#038; #condiments </p>
<p>6. Share: Your company should have a corporate account to share tidbits of knowledge daily. At least ten twitter posts per day using keywords from a yet to be established keyword list. 60 percent should be of the thought leadership variety, while 40 percent of the posts should talk about the Twitter profiles life. The corporate account should be purely talking about company happenings and posting links for link juice. while responding to mentions. Always post an opinion on industry specific news.</p>
<p>7. Use a Template: Create a template thank you note for every new follower. This template will link to the companys website and be accompanied by a  thank you with a clear call to action.</p>
<p>Twitter is a marketing tool that if used correctly can put your brand in front of the right eye balls, it just takes work and a strategy. These best practices help you use Twitter the correctly out of the gate.</p>
