Making Flash Web Design More SEO-friendly Is Easy

Flash web design can be made SEO friendly with the right use of technology. Opting for Macromedia search engine SDK, keyword linking techniques, creating another version of the site and applying spider simulation are some of the things to consider.

Making Flash Web Design More SEO-friendly Is Easy

Do you know the greatest myth about Flash based websites? People believe that they are not crawlable by the search engines. Wrong! The making or breaking of such sites depends on how it is used by the developer. Therefore, simply blaming this technology without knowing the right use is living in fool's paradise.

Web pages along with being attractive should also be optimized for better rankings. To know how Flash web design can be made more SEO friendly, read this article.

Why Opt for Macromedia Search Engine SDK? - To make Flash elements scannable, it is wiser to make use of Macromedia Search Engine SDK. The use of this application will not only make your pages scannable but also index SWF movies. You might be wondering how this is possible. Well, the application assist in dragging the text and links from any SWF based file and convert them into simple HTML documents.

Once a document is created, it can be easily optimized and your site will get better rankings in the SERPs. It must be remembered here that SDK only assists in page generation, and does not help in the optimization. To make pages optimized, it is necessary to integrate 'Meta Data', 'body content' and update the 'Alt Tags' on the images built using SDK.

Keyword Link Strategy - Ask the designer to generate content based web pages having embedded Flash elements. This is essential for listing in the major search engine pages. Users should be able to find your site by making use of the keywords. You only have to ensure that the pages having the right components and representing the relevant keywords.

The implementation of this strategy will tell Google which keywords should be scanned and indexed. Even if the content is insignificant, the hyperlinks will guide Google spiders to the other segments  having the relevant keywords or links.

Another Version Is Mandatory - A smart way to score high in terms of SEO is by building another version of your website. The other version should be designed using HTML only. The most important page can be designed using Flash but include links that take visitors to the other pages. This strategy will help to scan the web pages built in HTML easily.

Other Factors to Consider - You should also take into consideration some other factors for providing a rich user experience. Let's see what are they:

-        Implementing a spider simulation as that will help you ascertain where exactly the development process has gone wrong.

-        Make changes wisely and include trendy elements that internet spiders love to crawl. Make the alterations during the designing process instead of doing it later.   It will save a lot of your designing time and efforts.

-        Each of the pages should be well connected to each other.

The designer needs to be familiar with the latest trends of SEO and implement technology in the right manner.

Smartphones with long battery

-->

They're cell phones, music and video players, mobile Web browsers, and personal organizers, among other things. Not surprisingly, all this can take a toll on battery life, and when you depend on your smartphone for so much, the last thing you want is for it to run out of juice when you need it most.

Smartphones are the  Knives of the tech world

with moderate use, smartphones can give you a full day's performance before needing to be recharged, but not all gadgets are created equal -- some simply run out of steam early, whereas others will hang in there for the long haul. Here are six smartphones with battery usage that really impressed us, whether it was because they scored well in Labs battery tests, or simply because their usage time stood out from the crowd of humdrum cell phone batteries we encountered (and believe us, we encounter a lot). Give one of these devices a try if you're looking for a phone that packs some decent juice.

Motorola Droid Razr Maxx -15 hours and 16 minutes

HTC Evo 4G LTE -10 hours and 13 minutes

Samsung Galaxy S III -9 hours and 24 minutes 

Motorola Droid 4 - 9 hours and 5 minutes

Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE -8 hours and 6 minutes

samsung galaxy tab-11

         

Ever since the launch of the iPad we have seen a slew of tablets that have tried to take on the big Apple and quite frankly, failed miserably at it. It was with the launch of Google’s Honeycomb OS that Android tablets showed some potential and with the launch of Android 4.0 ICS, Android tablets finally started to make sense.

We have also begun to see some budget tablets hit the streets that boat of decent hardware under the hood and an attractive price point of around Rs. 10,000.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is priced at the Rs. 20,000 mark which means that it offers features specifications and a build that goes beyond the budget devices and is aimed at the audience that doesn't want to drop a lot of cash on the iPad.

But does the device make a place for itself in the tablet market or are you better off aspiring for an iPad?

Design and Build

One look at the device and it has the build of a typical 7-inch tablet. It feels way better than any budget tablet that we have seen but doesn't have the classy feel of the iPad. The rear of the Galaxy Tab 2 has a grey plastic matte finish which is nice. It gives the device an elegant finish while making it a resistive to dust and fingerprints. The front of the device has the 7-inch display, which is glossy, and a fingerprint magnet.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is really slim measuring in at 10.5mm thin and is relatively light at 344 grams. It fells really sturdy in ones hands. Considering its size, the device fells very comfortable in both landscape as well as portrait mode.

The device comes in three variants of internal storage – 8GB / 16GB / 32GB. The review unit we received has 16GB of internal storage. The memory of the device is expandable via microSD card up to 32GB. The microSD card slot rests to the left of the device along with a SIM card slot. Both the SIM card and the microSD card slots rests under a flap, which is easy to access and keeps the cards safe.

The right of the device has the volume rocker as well as the on/off/sleep/wake button. The bottom of the device has a proprietary dock connector, something that looks very reminiscent of the iPhone/iPad dock connector. The top of the device has the headphones jack. The rear houses the 3.15MP snapper without a flash and the front of the device ahs a VGA camera for video calling.

At the bottom of the tablet to the right and the left of the dock connector rest the two speakers.

The downside to the connectivity options is that Samsung has gone the Apple way with a proprietary dock connector. This isn’t a bad thing, but we have seen budget tablets from Zyncand iBerry that offer HDMI-out straight out of the box. 

Features and specifications

From the moment you switch on the device, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 runs on Google Android 4.0 ICS skinned with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI. With TouchWiz, Samsung brings with it a bunch of preloaded apps such as PolarisOffice, Samsung Apps, eBuddy XMS, TuneIn Radio, Chat On and more. Samsung All share app comes preloaded on the device. The app enables uses to share multimedia content with the Galaxy Tab and a DLNA enabled TV.

At the bottom of the screen on the left, you have touch sensitive buttons representing back, home, task manager for easy killing of apps and freeing memory and a nifty button used to take screen shots.

Under the hood, the device is powered by a dual core 1GHz processor, has 1GB of RAM and comes with 3 variants of internal storage – 8GB/16GB/32GB. The review unit we received boasts of 16GB of internal storage. Other specifications include 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer and digital compass. The screen on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is 7-inches and has a resolution of 1024 x 600. This resolution seems a little disappointing as we have seen devices that boast of a resolution of 1280x 800.

Overall the device is quite well loaded with features. If you are used to the Android powered Samsung smartphones, you will fell tight at home here. If you are looking for a raw Android experience you will have to look elsewhere as every aspect of the interface than can be customized has been customized by Samsung with TouchWiz. If you want a raw Android experience, on a 7-inch device, you will have to take a look at the Google Nexus 7.

iphone to cost the same as last iphone -happy or sad news ?

Those hoping for a cheaper iPhone -- or dreading the possibility of a price hike -- can stand down, according to a new report that claims Apple will stick to its tried and true pricing structure.

-->

In a report today, 9to5Mac posts a "parts code matrix" for the upcoming handset that sports the same $199 to $399 prices that have been in place since the iPhone 4S last year. The outlet says these prices and storage capacities will stay the same in the jump to the next iPhone, which is dubbed the N42.

The cost of a carrier-subsidized iPhone 4S has gone down a bit since its release. Retailers, most notably Target, trimmed the price by $25 back in March. Sprint upped the ante last month, cutting the price by $50 at first, then doubling that to a $100 gift card a few weeks later. Apple itself was also rumored to be matching prices with Sprint and any other carrier partners at its own retail stores.

The pricing rumor comes at a time when Apple's competitors have become more aggressive with the pricing of their flagship smartphones. That includes Motorola, which this week debuteda high-end $99 Android-based smartphone that buyers can get for free under certain circumstances. There's also Nokia's Lumia 900, which debuted at $100, a price Nokia halved to $50 in mid-July.

There are the same savings in software. So, what makes SaaS so popular?
‘Software as a service’ is a software delivery model which is based on cloud services: the software and associated data are hosted on the cloud. Sometimes this model referred to as ‘on-demand software’. This application is typically accessed by clients using a thin client via the Internet. As distinct from other client software apps or packages, you do not have to create software, but only rent it. The fee charged is usually on monthly based system. There are some benefits of SaaS are listed below.

Is it the End of the Desktop Era?

Everywhere we look these days, it seems computer manufacturers are steering consumers towards tablets and smartphones, but for gamers, desktop PCs still have a viable purpose. Some games lend themselves more to the desktop format but, more importantly, some games aren’t available for tablets or smartphones…yet.
For years, the consumer market has slowly made the transition away from the desktop PC. Laptops were popular for a while, but smartphones have caused many consumers to second guess the need for a full PC. E-mail, photos, and even banking transactions can all be managed through smartphones, which are even more portable than laptops.
But while smartphones are great for gamers on the go, the format can be very limiting. Games must be reconfigured for small screens and touchscreen controls. This limitation has stalled some games that simply don’t translate well to the new format. But even these games know they must eventually make the conversion.
Tablets have offered a larger-screen alternative to gamers. Debuting only two years ago, tablets now hold an estimated 31 percent of the market among Americans who use the Internet, according to New York Daily News. That number is up a full twelve percent from only a year ago and it is expected to continue to grow. Still, the tablet format holds the same limitations as smartphones when it comes to controls.
World of Warcraft, once among the most popular games, is a perfect illustration of the effect of the trend toward smartphones and tablets. When World of Warcraft owner Activision announced membership had dropped to nine million members—it was at ten million only three months earlier—experts speculated that PC-based gaming was an idea whose time had come and gone.
Gamers are increasingly heading toward the beautiful imagery of touchscreen-based games like the Infinity Blade series, which has been compared to World of Warcraft. Not only does this format offer gamers a chance to play anywhere, they also tend to be significantly cheaper than traditional PC-based gaming. Infinity Blade, for instance, is only $5.99, whereas a World of Warcraft subscription is $15 a month.
As the electronics industry switches toward virtualization and Cloud-based computing, desktop PCs will eventually seem unnecessary. Experts predict that in the not-so-distant future, everything will run off Cloud-based servers, with consumers paying monthly fees for access to everything from their operating system to their movies, music, and photos.
Games are, of course, among those items expected to move toward the Cloud. A gamer will only need to turn on a device that connects to the internet to access every game he or she owns. Those consumers who do prefer to remain loyal to the desktop format will only need a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, with connectivity to the internet allowing them to access everything they need.
While the transition is still in progress, desktop PC sales are already lagging far behind sales of other devices. Gamers may be among the few desktop users with continued reliance on the format, but as games turn toward the Cloud, the last remaining desktop gamers are sure to follow.

An avid gamer, Louisa Logan is obsessed. Her favourite games are Counter Strike for after work, Angry Birds for when shes on the tube and Super Mario for total enjoyment. She likes to use Soft 32 to be alerted for when an update is available.

Using PPC to Achieve Financial Success

Behavioral Peaks In Traffic

The first goal in any successful PPC campaign is to use your time to the fullest. What this means is use the season, holidays, cultural events, pop culture, and everything in between to your full advantage. The highest rate of conversions go to the websites and services that are custom fit to a particular need during the time of the year. For example, let's say that a business owner has a website that sells sailing equipment. The first step that particular individual needs to take is create a business model that pertains to the seasons. Nine times out of ten, a person looking to buy sailing equipment isn't going to make a purchase during winter seasons. Cater your business model to accommodate the needs of your customers as the year advances. Perhaps releasing a PPC ad campaign dealing with products that prevent snow damage, cold weather drops, and changes in weather would lead to an increase of conversion of sales for said company. Life changes on a day to day business; Your PPC campaign should take this into consideration.

Create The Need

The key to any successful ad campaign is to create the need within the potential clients. How often are we bombarded with pesky ads, commercials, and products? When an individual needs a particular product; they look for it themselves. This lessons needs to be applied to the ad campaign and used as a standard when trying to promote products or services. If you annoy the customer then there's a good chance there won't be a conversion of sales. What the goal needs to be with your PPC campaign is to provide a product that creates want and attraction without having to annoy customers. Look at the most successful businesses in the world; what do they all have in common? They all have a product that sells itself rather than having to advertise their products, or services, on every commercial.

You Get Out What You Put In

With an successful PPC ad campaign; you get out of it what you put in. Many starting businesses are afraid to spend money when creating ads and promoting their product. The most important element when deciding whether or not to the budget ceiling needs to be increased is with research first, and gut instinct second. Don't blindly blow your money for a product or service that isn't well researched and sought after. When you notice a sudden increase of popularity in your niche, it's time to go all in. Many times a company will fall short because they didn't capitalize on promoting their services during the time of need. As stated earlier, when you see a want and need for your product or service, increase the budget ceiling. When starting out with a PPC campaign there are 2 major mistakes impulsive spending and doubt. If you have a product that isn't sought after then devoting all your capital to a PPC campaign might not be the best option. On the flip side, don't over-analyze to the point where it prevents you from making smart investments.

Wrap Up

If you've learned anything from this article it should be the following 3 key components.

1. Use the time of year, holiday, change in pop culture, movies, and everything in between to your full advantage to get the biggest conversion rate.
2. Create ads that create need and want.
3. Be willing to spend money, or conserve money, when the market is properly researched and shows profitability or loss.

When these 3 key components are used in conjunction with one another, PPC campaigns can soar. The financial success your business deserves is already waiting for you if you've took the time to research and advertise correctly. Remember a happy customer is going to be a returning customer.

A Writing Style for Business

The KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid) method can apply to a variety of problem-solving tasks, especially in business writing. The proofreading professionals are always telling us the reader doesn't come to your website looking to be entertained with flowery language and witty catchphrases. He can buy a book or go to the theater for that.

He visits a site to find some specific information, learn how to do something or to buy something... and he doesn't want to be distracted with a song and dance.

This is the time for some clear, concise, and correct writing. That is, if you want to make some money.

Some Business Writing Tips

• Provide Results. Tune into what your readers are looking for. Show how you can help solve their problems instead of just listing your talents. Become “you” orientated.

• Use The Active Voice. It works better than the passive voice because it's more compelling and concise. It helps energise the reader to focus on what you are saying. It's better to say, “we will ship your order this afternoon” instead of “we will arrange to have your order shipped this afternoon.”

• Tone Down The Language. Keep the language simple, unless you are marketing Shakespearean sonnets. Too much gets lost when the language gets complicated. You want the reader to get the big idea... and not get confused with the big words.

• Less is More. Website visitors are notorious for skimming the written page. Retain their attention by cutting out unneeded words. Also, keep your sentences and paragraphs short. Get to the point quickly and concisely. Professional proofreading services are good at this.

• Be Nice. Sometimes, in this hectic internet environment, we forget there's a real person on the other end of the wire. This is when a simple “please” or “thank you” can move mountains.

• Maintain a Conversational Tone. Write as you would speak. This relaxes the reader. It's easier for readers to feel comfortable with the big idea if they feel they are in the flow of a conversation. Most of us don't want to struggle through a formal presentation that reminds us of our school days.

• Get a Second Opinion. If it's something important, get somebody to check your writing. Better still; consider what the proofreading services have to offer. It just might save that difficult deal.

• Check Your Quotations. Be careful with this. Don't quote an associate without reconfirming the facts. Selective amnesia in the business world is quite common.

• Provide Context For Readers. Always begin your writing by introducing your main point at the beginning of the first paragraph. Then, follow with your sub points in the beginning of succeeding paragraphs. The final paragraph should provide a conclusion about the main point introduced in the first paragraph.

Some writing style rules are not hard and fast. This is when common sense should be exercised by the writer. However, it's best to keep to the rules when they fit the occasion. It's less confusing to the reader.

Important tips for a functional website design

Use Title tag
Always use a title tag. A title tag is a HTML element which shows up in the browser window above the menu bar. This tag should contain a brief description about the page\’s content. Using a title relevant to the page will makes it easy for the website visitors to get an idea about the page\’s content with a glance at the title. Also, the text you are going to place in this tag is used by major search engines to identify a proper category for your website (ecommerce website, a local pet store, an information portal e.t.c., )
 
Site Search box
The content of a website is distributed among the inner pages along with the home page. So, when a visitor lands on the website\’s home page, a site wide search box will help the visitor quickly jump to the inner page which has got the content he is searching for. This is much better than the user navigating to each page in search of the content he is interested in.
Rich media
A picture is worth thousand words, goes an old adage. Rich media like images, audio, video and animated content certainly add that wow factor to a website. However, overdoing it has many drawbacks like slow page load time, distracting the website visitor from other valuable text information, e.t.c. The pages with heavy graphics and rich media are also penalized by search engines.
Site map
A site map is a page which has the complete navigation picture about a website\’s page structure. A site map is not only useful for a human visitor, but also helps search engines to know about all the pages of a website. Without a sitemap, the search engines may never find and index certain pages within the site at all. Also, a technically inclined user can choose to submit his website\’s sitemap to major search engines for additional value. This will eventually improve the search rankings also.
Content placement
The most importatnt content of every page should be placed preferably in the first two paragraphs. This will help website visitors as well as search engines to understand the content quickly. The minute details about the topic of the page can be placed in the next paragraphs. Use header tags like h1, h2, h3 e.t.c for easier classification of topics and sub-topics within a page. Using proper HTML tags like Header tags, strong tag, embed tag e.t.c for the main keywords in the website helps search engines and user together in understanding the key points highlighted without much effort.
Custom error pages
A very simple yet often ignored design concept is creating custom error pages for broken links or server errors. Create simple custom pages for  errors like page not found, forbidden and server errors in a non-technical language. This will help novice users to understand what the problem is and then allows them to navigate to other pages within the website. Else, they may leave the site.
