			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of the rules for writing website, ezines or newsletters apply to blog posting, but there are some key differences. Read these 10 tips for proper <a href="http://seo911.com/blog/tag/blog-posting/">blog posting</a> and you&#8217;ll be publishing some great content that will attract prospects and clients in your niche market.</p>
<p>1. Find your own writing style.<br />
If you don&#8217;t have a writing style, start <a href="http://seo911.com/blog/tag/blog-posting/">blog posting</a> on a blog that you don&#8217;t share with anyone. Write some experimental posts, write some bad posts, just try it out. You&#8217;ll soon find your own style.</p>
<p>2. Brainstorm and plan before writing.<br />
Brainstorming is a good way to find a few ideas for <a href="http://seo911.com/blog/how-optimizing-your-blog-post-titles-can-increase-your-traffic/">blog posting</a>. Once you have some ideas, try writing the titles for each of those posts. Experiment with the headings, but don&#8217;t start writing the post yet. Use the heading to figure out if the post can have a strong opening, an engaging middle and a powerful ending. If not, discard the post and move to the next one. Or try again.</p>
<p>3. Use titles that grab the readers attention.<br />
The title is what draws the reader&#8217;s interest, so if it&#8217;s not catchy, your post will never get read. Use powerful phrases and keywords. Ask yourself if your titles would be search for on <a href="http://google.com">Google</a>.</p>
<p>4. Make your opinion known.<br />
People like blogs because they are written by people and not by corporations. People want to know what people think, and what you think. Tell them exactly what you think using the least amount of words possible.</p>
<p>5. Write compelling arguments.<br />
There are thousands of blogs on the internet, and there&#8217;s a good chance that anything you say has already been said before. It&#8217;s imperitave to write the most compelling arguments that you can to provide the reader with something new.</p>
<p>6. Use keywords often.<br />
<a href="http://seo911.com/blog/tag/blog-posting/">Blog posting</a> with keywords will help you write with a purpose. It also helps with your ranking in search engines. This is one of the reasons why you should write out your purpose statements before writing the post. The clearer you are about your purpose, the better you will deliver your message. And the more often your keywords show up, the better your search engine results.</p>
<p>7. Link often.<br />
This will build credibility with the search engines, much like using keywords. It will also give you credibility from your readers and helps build a network with other blogs and websites related to your blog.</p>
<p>8. Write enthusiastically.<br />
Some writing is highly dynamic and gives the impression of actually wanting to be read. Others are boring and lack any sort of passion. If you don&#8217;t enjoy writing your posts, do you think anyone will enjoy reading them?</p>
<p>9. Do some editing.<br />
The best writing is done in the editing. Before hitting  a submit button, re-read your post and cut out anything unnecessary. Proof-reading is one thing, but editing your post may allow you to get your meaning across in a better way.</p>
<p>10. Leave some things out of your post.<br />
If you cover every point in your post, there won&#8217;t be anything left for your readers to comment on. You need arguments that people can relate to, but you need to leave a few loose ends for them to talk about. It takes some practice doing this. By giving your readers the ability to expand on your post, they&#8217;ll be much more likely to comment, and others will want to join in the discussion.</p>
<p><a href="http://seo911.com/blog/tag/blog-posting/">Blog posting</a> is as simple as you make it. But by following the above steps, you create blog posts that your readers actually enjoy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With web browsing on mobile devices on the rise, many web developers are creating mobile versions of their sites. <a href="http://www.seo911.com/services.php">Creating a mobile website</a> can be difficult, especially since there are many platforms available on phones. By taking the following information into consideration, creating a mobile website shouldn&#8217;t be such a difficult task.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with your markup language. A few different types are available for those building a mobile website. WML, or Wireless Markup Language, has been around since the early days of mobile web devices. It is an XML markup language. While it is available on every phone with web capabilities, it has been superseded by XHTML. XHTML is available in the standard XHTML rendered by desktop browsers, and XHTML-MP, the MP standing for Mobile Profile. The only difference between the two is that XHTML-MP has a few less elements and tighter restrictions to make it easier for a mobile device to render the website.</p>
<p>The next thing to keep in mind is the many screen resolutions available in the mobile world. The most common ones are 128 x 160 pixels, 176 x 220 pixels, 240 x 320 pixels and 320 x 480 pixels. By keeping these dimensions in mind, you will be able to optimize some of your content. However, it&#8217;s best to keep your site as minimal as possible, especially since there&#8217;s no mouse on a mobile phone and they are only able to move up and down a page. While there are a few exceptions in the market, such as the iPhone and the Nokia Internet Tablet, but these phones should be able to browse your regular page easily.</p>
<p>The goal for any web site should be to know your customers in order to deliver to them the best available content. This goal is even more important with mobile sites since you need to target the use of your site. Regular web users are most likely sitting at a desk facing a large monitor that has a high resolution. Visitors who are browsing your mobile site, however, view it through a tiny screen that&#8217;s usually less than 1/4 of your desktop&#8217;s resolution.</p>
<p>The final step in mobile website design is to test your design. While desktop browsers can be forgiving with code, mobile browsers don&#8217;t have the processing power available to automatically fix errors. This can possibly render your website completely useless. Luckily, there are some tools to help in this process. <a href="http://validator.w3.org/mobile/">This W3C validator</a> is designed specifically for mobile websites. The next step is to test the site on a mobile platform. While there are <a href="http://mtld.mobi/emulator.php">emulators available</a> to see your website&#8217;s general layout as it would be on a mobile device, these tools won&#8217;t be 100% accurate. They can help in the design process, though. The only sure-fire way to test your site is to view it on a mobile phone. Try to test it on phones with different resolutions to ensure that it’s working correctly.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.seo911.com/mobile-website-re-design-service.php">Mobile website design</a>, while similar to standard design, can be difficult if you don&#8217;t have the proper tools available. There are many services available that can do it for you, thankfully. Even if you&#8217;ve designed your website without the help of others, <a href="http://www.seo911.com/mobile-website-re-design-service.php">mobile website design</a> may be difficult.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the number of users browsing the web from a mobile device steadily increasing, most mobile websites are still below standards. Many web developers just don&#8217;t understand how easy it is to create a good web experience for users of mobile devices.<a href="http://www.seo911.com"> Mobile website design </a>is steadily becoming a must-have skill for many small businesses. The first, and most important step, is to assess your target audience to see what the purpose of your mobile website should be.</p>
<p>There are three groups of visitors that use mobile web applications. Let&#8217;s look at them in detail:</p>
<p>Casual surfers act similarly to customers of traditional websites in that they aren&#8217;t really interested in one thing. They may just have a few spare minutes in between tasks and decide to take a look around. Since these users may only see your site for a few moments, your goal should be to make your content memorable so that they come back for more. Aim for small chunks that are just enough to keep them visited, but not so long that they can&#8217;t browse the entire site in one visit.</p>
<p>Repeat visitors are constantly returning for some sort of specific data. Since the interface of a mobile device is limited, avoid burying the content your customers want behind a few clicks. Try to keep your most viewed content at the top of the site.</p>
<p>The last group of visitors is the urgent ones. Depending on the business of your site, you may have a customer need some information or product as quickly as possible. By identifying the most important needs of these users and making that content available in the shortest amount of time, you&#8217;ll increase the usefulness of your site and keep these kinds of visitors around.</p>
<p>While you are building the <a href="http://www.seo911.com/mobile-website-re-design-service.php">website mobile version</a>, you need to decide on a domain name. You will also need to work out how to advertise its existence. There are several options for choosing a mobile domain. You can use a separate domain name altogether, such as http://www.yoursite-mobile.com, use a subdomain, such as http://mobile.yoursite.com, or even use the .mobi extension, such as http://yoursite.mobi.</p>
<p>By finding out who your audience will be, you will be able to <a href="http://seo911.com/services.php">develop and market a mobile website</a> to best match their needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://seo911.com/company.php" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Local internet marketing</span></a> is a great way to improve the sales lead of a company since it uses the internet to reach a large number of clients globally. It employs a lot of strategy such as <a href="http://seo911.com/targeted-opt-in-emails.php" target="_blank">targeted email marketing </a>wherein prospective clients are sent emails that contain information about the product or service that they sell. Only people who somehow share the same interest will be sent an email.</p>
<p>Often times, this comes as newsletters from websites that you have made a subscription. Another way of  improving the revenue of your company suing internet marketing is through the use of search engine optimization (SEO).</p>
<p>What is this SEO? Search Engine Optimization employs the use of relevant keywords for search engines to find your website. What is good about this is that the more relevant your keywords are, the higher the ranking of website becomes. This will be reflected having your website at the top of search listings on search engines like Google, Yahoo! and MSN.</p>
<p>There are two types of SEO. These are <a href="http://seo911.com/blog/local-internet-marketing-for-your-business/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Organic  SEO</span></a> and <a href="http://seo911.com/ppc-management.php" target="_blank">PPC Management</a>. So given these two types of SEO, how do you chose which one of these SEO are relevant for the type of business that you have? It is fairly easy. However, let us differentiate first what are the differences between these two SEO.</p>
<p>Organic SEO needs for you to pay an SEO company a monthly fee so that they can maintain your ad campaign. It is not a click-through based system unlike PPC Management. This means that you will not pay the number of clicks that a prospective clients makes when visiting your site for organic SEO.</p>
<p>Further, this means that no money was put to waste for unnecessary clicks made by a visitor who just happened to pass by your site. The fee that you have paid for organic SEO includes the maintenance of your site, as well as constant revision of your keywords if the keywords are no longer significant. Even if there is no conversion of the click-through rate for this SEO, the fee is somehow relatively bigger.</p>
<p>However, organic SEO  is really effective. Since, people tend to visit these sites more often than once with pay-per-click system. This works well for big companies.</p>
<p>Given this fact, you might think that the organic SEO<span style="text-decoration: underline"> </span>is by far the best choice. In contrary to that, if you own a very small company, then this SEO is not good for you. A PPC Management SEO can be used if you are running on a very low budget since it only allows you to be more active until your budget run out. This is a practical way of employing SEO.</p>
<p>The type of SEO to use really depends on the type of business that you have.</p>
