			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many Facebook users are not aware that Facebook is going to be changing quite radically over the next few weeks. And I am not talking about the few resent changes like the news ticker and news feed&#8230; No no! Basically Facebook will be changing your profile pages completely and converting it into an &#8220;Timeline&#8221; of your life. This is going to be Facebook&#8217;s biggest change since the site launched!</p>
<p>At the F8 convention (An event where nerds meet up) Mark Zuckerberg gave a demo of the new timeline. I think alot of people are going to get freaked out at the new changes as its allot of work to fill in all the gaps. For example you timeline starts at your birth and since you were born before Facebook launched you would have to go back and fill in all the missing gaps like images, place of birth ect. I mean its not complsary but before Facebook just worked with out any effort&#8230; Now you are going to have to become somewhat of a &#8220;scrap-booker&#8221;.</p>
<p>If you are an impatient person like me you can get the new timeline activated now though the developer section. There are loads more features like the new maps section where you can now see a map of all the places you have been. And now extra large profile image header + the normal sized profile picture. The timeline lets your scroll back to pretty much any time of your life, and if there is any missing gaps you can fill them in.</p>
<p>I know allot of people are going to moan about the new changes, but I personally like change. Change refreshes the mind and keeps us on our toes! Without change we would not evolve!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When creating a new design for a client I needed to work out how to display content on different sections of a page&#8230;. I know that you can get plugin&#8217;s that support short codes you insert into the content box, but that was no good to me as I needed it user friendly for my clients.</p>
<p>I came across the really get plugin that lets you display as many content boxes as you want. You can then insert a small bit of php code in your temple page where you would like to display the text and the plugin will automatically generate as many content boxes you need. This little plugin can make your designs extremely flexible as designs need to be to be cleint friendly when updating text.</p>

We had a client asked us to look into it and after loads of research I have come up with the main points to getting your online store  listed. &#8230; <a href="http://www.designroom.co.za/online-marketing/how-to-get-listed-rankings-on-google-shopping-results/">more</a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wonder how people get there online store listed on Google Shopping Results? We had a client asked us to look into it and after loads of research I have come up with the main points to getting your online store  listed.</p>
<p>In order to get rankings on Google Shopping results you need to first get your products listed in “Google Base” (<a href="http://www.knowall.net/wp-admin/www.google.com/base" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.knowall.net/wp-admin/www.google.com/base?referer=');">www.google.com/base</a>).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Here are the ways you can get your products uploaded to Google Base:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>One by one if you have a small database of products</li>
<li>Using a feed to upload all your products (Recommended)</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>To get the very best results you need to include the following data:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Product Name (Title – Keyword must be included)</li>
<li>Price (Competitive pricing)</li>
<li>Description (The more detailed the better)</li>
<li>Link to Product Page</li>
<li>Link to Product Image</li>
<li>Condition</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_148" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 444px"><a href="http://www.designroom.co.za/designroom/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/google_shopping.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-148" title="Google Shopping" src="http://www.designroom.co.za/designroom/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/google_shopping.jpg" alt="" width="434" height="226" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Google Shopping Result</p></div>
<h2>Most important factors for Google Shopping</h2>
<p><strong>Products Title</strong><br />
The products title has to include the products keywords</p>
<p><strong>Price</strong><br />
You price can also be a factor in getting higher rankings. Prices need to be competitive</p>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br />
Your description must be well throughout and rich in information, describing your product with keywords and phrases. Just remember NOT to keyword stuff!</p>
<p><strong>Data Fields</strong><br />
When submitting product data to Google Base. You have many fields. Adding as much data possible can be the difference between good results and great results!</p>
<p><strong>Fresh Feed</strong><br />
Google does not crawl your product data feed as it does with site pages. So having an frequently updated feed  will help Google rank your site correctly.</p>
<p><strong>Product Reviews</strong><br />
This is one of the most important ranking factors! The more positive reviews your products have the better. Google takes these reviews in account big time! There are many ways of getting reviews on your products. First would be from your site and then third party sites that Google feeds from.</p>
<p>Some of the third party review sites:</p>
<ul>
<li>pricegrabber.co.uk</li>
<li>reviewcentre.com</li>
<li>shopzilla.co.uk</li>
<li>ciao.co.uk</li>
<li>dealtime.co.uk</li>
<li>truste-marketing.co.uk</li>
<li>webuser.co.uk</li>
<li>maxxsave.co.uk</li>
<li>dooyoo.co.uk</li>
<li>resellerratings.com</li>
</ul>
<p>Google Shopping results can be a great tool for your online business. You just need to give rich up to date information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When setting up a Facebook fan page you will notice the URL to your fan page is not exactly the friendliest&#8230; It&#8217;s basically a load of numbers, and that&#8217;s no good if you would like to share the link and get Facebook search rankings. What you need to do in order to get your custom Facebook URL is get at least 25 people to &#8220;Like&#8221; your page. Once you have 25 &#8220;Likes&#8221; Facebook will give you the option of creating a custom URL. Done!</p>

<li><strong>Setup Facebook Fan Page</strong> – When setting up a Facebook fan page add as much information about your company as possible. Area, Images, Logo ect.</li>
<li><strong>Invite your friends</strong> – Most people have a Facebook page. Start promoting your fan page by sending a personal invite to the friends you thinks could be interested. Odds are someone will be interested in your work.</li>
<li><strong>Keep your fan page fresh</strong> – Facebook is a viral site, when someone interacts with your page it could appear on their personal wall promoting your fan page.</li>
<li><strong>Link to your Fan page</strong> – Create a few links to your Facebook fan page on your Website &amp; All other promotional outlets eg. email stationery, business cards, newsletters. Eg. Add “Like” &amp; “Recommend” button throughout your website.</li>
<li><strong>Feed content to your page</strong> – Feed content from all your online media to your Facebook page. E.g Link your Blog Directly to your Facebook Fan page giving a constant feed of information to your fans linking back to your main site.</li>
<li><strong>Create an Incentive to join your page</strong> – There is allot Facebook pages out there, so you have to give people a reason to become a fan of yours. Have a monthly prize just for your fans, offer a discount to an upcoming event. E.g Buty Salon; Offer a free day spa to the winner of Buty Salons Face of Fulham competition.</li>
<li><strong>Interact with your fans</strong> – If a fan leaves a comment or askes a question resopond. Are they on twitter? Follow them.</li>
<li><strong>Change your Facebook URL</strong> – Every few weeks check to see if Facebook will grant you a SEO friendly URL eg. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/yourcompany" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.facebook.com/yourcompany?referer=');">www.facebook.com/yourcompany</a> this is very important and you will then be listed in their search function! ( Note: they will only issue you this once your site has a few fans and is being updated)</li>
<li><strong>Spread the reasonably</strong> – If you have other staff, give them admin access to your fan page so information is kept fresh.</li>
<li><strong>Facebook Ads</strong> – Facebooks adverting program allows you to target very specific targeted audience due to the fact it has so much information about user (24-36 Females that live in London &amp; love the band U2!). Its pay per click so it’s not very expensive.</li>
<li><strong>Don’t Spam</strong>- Once you have a nice following DONT spam! No one likes there wall feed spammed with the same offers.</li>
</ol>
