The answer to that is YES, Social Media is becoming the alternative avenue to everything SEO, PPC, and just plan old search from 2008 to past. In layman’s terms, Social Media could also be expressed as an old marketing trend gone global, meaning that these “word of mouth” efforts that use to exist only offline are now taking the place of major consumer representation and directions on the World Wide Web through social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, an many more.

Import RSS Feeds onto Your Site! The Goods, the Bads, The Ugly!

Bloggers, Developers, SEM’s,

I wanted to inform you of a new RSS feed tool that Google has launched to help website owners and developers import RSS feeds on their websites. This tools is fun and easy to use and the best part is that Google “once again” makes development easy for the common user to import dynamic content immediately within a web page.

This custom RSS feeder will import content from other blogs of interest straight into your site. The feed is derived from XML data then generated through Javascript. All you need to do is install a simple line of javascript code to make the gadget work. You can also customize this RSS feed to match your site by text color, padding, link design, and borders of your choice and colors.

Well, this is certainly exciting, but there is a downside to using this tool. For all SEM’s and SEO experts when you import this tool into your site your ability for Google to crawl new content, links, and data is non-existent. The feeds are generated by a javascript code that is not converted to HTML code once the page loads. Therefore, the Gadget for SEO purposes and link building is strickly irrelevant.

All in all if you do want to import your favorite blog entries onto your site easily then I would suggest using this tool. Most of all for the fun of it…

Here is the link to the Google Gadget - Custom RSS Tool

Content is King! But why…

You may have heard of the phrase “content is king” just like you have witnessed a number of “.COM” domain names go for large sums of money. Well, just as a valuable “.COM” domain name holds creditability for being strong in search, popularity, or even history; content can also hold that same sort of power. Content no matter if it is displayed in web pages, blogs, or press releases presents something new to the readers. Over time content can also hold an extremly valuable ranking for a number of multiple keyword terms. So why is “content” king? Well, because it is… If you produce a number of topical articles that are strong in grammer, news worthy, and is repeated throughout a timeline, Google, Yahoo, and MSN are rewarding you for your efforts.
