			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spam is any kind of unsolicited or unwanted online communication, often done through email although it can also through instant messages or through social networking sites.  Email spam involves sending the same copies of the same message to an email list, probably acquired by scanning Usenet postings and Internet mailing lists or searching the Web for addresses.  Most email spam is for commercial advertising for products or services. Although spam is generally harmless, some are part of identity theft scams or similar fraudulent activity.</p>
<p>Another kind of spam involves confusing the search engine crawler so that it fails to deliver relevant, quality search results.  In this case, users are given listings of webpages that are irrelevant to their search term or users are given landing pages with extensive links that they must click through to get to their targeted website. Search engines have different standards for spam, but nevertheless impute actors in their algorithm to accurately exclude spam listings from their search engine results.  <a href="http://firstpagesage.com/why.html">First Page Sage</a> guarantees that the firm only uses responsible and ethical techniques in rendering its SEO services and bringing its clients’ websites to the top of search engine organic listings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sponsored listings are paid listings visible at the top of search engine result pages that distinguish it from a search engine’s natural listings.  Sometimes, listings are identified as paid listings or paid sponsors.  Companies or web publishers have the option to pay the search engine to have their websites featured in the sponsored listing section for search terms they identify.  Separating these paid listings from natural listings allows individuals to use their discretion in which search results to click on.   Results that appear in natural listings generally yield higher click through rates than those under sponsored listings.</p>
<p>The underlying idea for SEO is to get as much online traffic as possible.   Instead of employing various techniques to place high on search engine natural listings, some web publishers would rather pay to have the links to their site placed on top of a website immediately. Nevertheless, a study by Enquiro research showed that at least 77 percent of people skip over sponsored listings and click on the natural search results and that when making a purchase, 67 percent choose organic over sponsored listings. In addition, sponsored listings do not make it into organic search results and can get costly over time.  <a href="http://firstpagesage.com/why.html">First Page Sage</a> assures its clients that its services bring a website to the first page of Google’s natural results using only Google-approved methods that do not involve paid listings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A tag is a keyword or set of keywords a publisher assigns to a web page or web content for the purpose of easy identification, organization, aggregation and searching. Most social media sites allow users to tag the content they share online such as articles, photos, videos or blog posts. Tags help users find content they are looking for through social media sites and other online platforms. </p>
<p>But just as, if not even more important, tags enhance search engine optimization since the keywords serve as a reference point for search engine spiders when they look for relevant content based on a search query.  Of all the tags a web publisher assigns, the most significant one is the page level title tag, which appears as the “title” of a website in the search engine results.  Search engine spiders place valuable weight within their algorithm on title tags since they provide the clue to the associated information of a website.  <a href="http://firstpagesage.com/socialmediamarketing.html">First Page Sage</a> assists clients in assigning compelling and distinct keywords for their web pages to ensure that the website places on the first page of search engine results, thus delivering maximum traffic to their website and increasing online sales.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Synchronous communication is one that occurs in real time independent of location such as chat, instant messaging or video conference. Synchronous communication may be done simply through text exchange or include an audio and video component. In synchronous communication, all participants are present at the same time although they do not necessarily have to be in the same location. There are many advantages to synchronous interactions. It encourages more cooperation, supports decision making in a group setting, allows for immediate feedback and sets a more fluid pace in discussions. Synchronous communication is especially useful for conferences and distance learning purposes. According to the Pew Internet Project 2004, 59% of young Internet users (ages 18-29) are likely to use instant messaging. Businesses also take advantage of synchronous communication as it allows them to conduct meetings across several locations as well as hold webinars to further interact with their clients.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stumble Upon is a social website which allows its users to submit and discover new web pages, photos and/or videos. Instead of searching on search engines, Stumble Upon users install a Stumble Upon toolbar on their Internet browser and tag specific personal or professional interests from a list of nearly 500 topics. When they click “Stumble” on the Stumble Upon toolbar, it will direct them to websites pertaining to their lists of interests.  The directory of websites returned to the user also factors in the users ratings of similar websites, ratings by their friends and ratings of others users with similar interests.

This allows users to keep track of websites they like and share with other users. </p>

Once a website is on Stumble Upon, the publisher can categorize, tag and write a short summary about it. Once the website is “stumbled” on, the site has the ability to generate an enormous amount of traffic from all over the world. At the same time, the website gains rapid exposure, establishes a reader base and gains numerous backlinks- all great for SEO. <a href="http://firstpagesage.com/socialmediamarketing.html">First Page Sage</a> helps clients maximize the benefits of social media sites like Stumble Upon by producing compelling, targeted and competitive keywords that targets the relevant audience for its clients’ business that will gain a significant amount of following.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Short for spam blogs, a splog is a blog jam-packed with links and created with “fake” content from other sites for the sole purpose of boosting a site’s ranking on search engine listings. Because anyone can write a blog for free, dishonest publishers often use automated tools to build hundreds of splogs and circulate them on the Internet, thus influencing search engine spiders or crawlers to think that the blogs are legitimate links to its spam website. As a result, the spam website gains page rank.  Splogs are especially frustrating for legitimate blog owners whose content are stolen and used in splogs, an action called scraping.  Many splog publishers rely on RSS feeds for scraping, which make it easier for them gather content, remove all links to the original blog site and create links to their spam site instead. Other splogs, if they don’t contain stolen content, consist of low quality or unremarkable content.</p>
<p><a href="http://firstpagesage.com/why.html">First Page Sage</a> avoids low quality websites like splogs, using only high quality, well maintained websites in their SEO campaigns.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A social news site is a website where users submit, share, and rank news articles or stories, whether text based, photos or videos.  Users usually just post a summary of the article with a link to the full article. Apart from sharing content, social news sites function like news hubs.  They provide users quick access to a wide range of news and users’ opinions and allows them to comment and engage in discussions with other users regarding content of mutual interest. The more votes or the higher the rating of a news article, the more visibility it gets on the site. Popular social news sites are Digg and Reddit, although recently a number of social news niche sites have been launched such as Techmeme focusing on technology news and Socialnews.biz which focuses on business news. </p>
<p>In order to receive an influx of links that will help get traffic to your website, <a href="http://firstpagesage.com/socialmediamarketing.html">First Page Sage</a> seeks out online communities where their clients will get the greatest amount of exposure. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social networking is any action done on the Internet that involves publishing and sharing content online, either for social or professional purposes. Social networking is conducted through social media channels such as blogs, podcasts, online forums, instant messages, email and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.  Social networking usually results in a grouping of individuals based on common interests, work, friends, beliefs or educational affiliations, among other things. While social networking gives users access to a whole world of individuals, its fairly “anonymous” nature does present some danger especially from those who misrepresent themselves.    </p>
<p>Individuals use social networking for both personal and professional reasons whether it’s to stay in touch with family, friends and colleagues and meet new ones or to extend their professional network. For businesses, social networking is essential for the purpose of generating revenue, building a loyal customer base, marketing and research.  Participation in social networking sites, targeting the proper audience and continuously creating attractive, interesting content are all keys to social networking. Let <a href="http://firstpagesage.com/socialmediamarketing.html">First Page Sage</a> help you grow your business through social networking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social Media Optimization (SMO) is a form of social media marketing that is geared towards building online traffic to a website resulting from social media sources such as video sharing sites, podcasts, blogs, social networking sites and other online communities. The idea is to structure a website so that it increases its linkability, makes tagging and bookmarking easy, is highly visible in social media sites, rewards inbound links and encourages other social media channels such as blogs to spread the content.  In addition the making the website more SMO friendly, companies need to participate actively in social networking sites, target the proper audience and create content that naturally spreads.  SMO differs from search engine optimization (SEO) which is focused on delivering traffic from search engine rankings, but definitely complements it as an ideal online marketing strategy. Like SEO, SMO attracts customers, builds brand awareness and establishes customer trust.  </p>
<p>Whether your company needs SMO, SEO, or a mixture of both, <a href="http://firstpagesage.com/socialmediamarketing.html">First Page Sage</a> has the knowledge and skills to get your company to the top.</p>
