Do you want oodles of free traffic to your website? Then here is a strategy that I have used on a web 2.0 property that people seldom use, but has huge results. Not only will you get a lot of clicks to your site, but Google loves these sites and your PowerPoint slides will get high ranking in the SERP’s.

Follow these steps:

1. Take an existing article that you have written and input into a PowerPoint presentation. (If you do not have PowerPoint, you can use the free “Impress” from OpenOffice.org).

2. Break your article down into smaller size bites by turning it into a slide presentation. Simply copy and paste your article. It is that easy, and it only takes a couple of minutes.

3. Upload your PowerPoint presentation to these web 2.0 property sites below. First, you’ll need to create a username. If you want to get even more link power, then have your username the same as your keyword that you are targeting and wanting to rank for.

Slideshare.net
Slideboom.com
Docstoc.com
Scribd.com
Esnips.com
Show.zoho.com

4. Make sure that you add your relevant keyword ‘tags’ on each of these uploaded sites. This will greatly help so that your presentations will show up in the search results and will get you more traffic.

5. Add a comment to your post on these sites, and use your keyword as Your Name in the comment section.

6. Bookmark the URL of your PowerPoint slide at each of these web 2.0 properties. If you are using Traffic Geyser or SEnuke (and preferably you want BOTH to crush it) this only takes a couple minutes to do.

7. Lastly (BUT DO NOT FORGET), you want to syndicate your PowerPoint presentations all over the internet. Your username at each of these sites has a RSS Feed. Find your RSS Feed on each of the sites by looking for a RSS icon. Click on the RSS icon, which will bring up your RSS Feed in your browser. Copy your RSS Feed URL in your browser window and submit this feed to RSS Aggregators.

Here is a list:

feedage.com
feedraider.com
goldenfeed.com
feedest.com
rssmountain.com
rssmicro.com
rssmotion.com
icerocket.com
feedagg.com

NOTE: If you are using automation software like SEnuke, you can submit a RSS Feed to a bunch of sites with one push of button.

This strategy will take you about 30 minutes to accomplish, but it has enormous benefits and traffic to your sites…and Google loves these web 2.0 properties so you will get great ranking.

Nissan Motor Company, Ltd. (Japanese: 日産自動車株式会社 Nissan Jidōsha Kabushiki-gaisha^?) (TYO:7201), shortened to Nissan, is a multinational automaker headquartered in Japan. It was formerly a core member of the Nissan Group, but has become more independent after its restructuring under Carlos Ghosn(CEO).

It formerly marketed vehicles under the “Datsun” brand name and is one of the largest car manufacturers. As of August 2009, the company’s global headquarters is located in Nishi-ku, Yokohama. In 1999, Nissan entered a two way alliance with Renault S.A. of France, which owns 44.4% of Nissan while Nissan holds 15% of Renault shares, as of 2008. The current market share of Nissan, along with Honda and Toyota, in American auto sales represent the largest of the automotive firms based in Asia that have been increasingly encroaching on the historically dominant US-based “Big Three” consisting of GM, Ford and Chrysler. In its home market Nissan is the third largest car manufacturer, with Honda being second by a small margin and Toyota in a very dominant first. Along with its normal range of models, Nissan also produces a range of luxury models branded as Infiniti.

The Nissan VQ engines, of V6 configuration, have been featured among Ward’s 10 Best Engines for 14 straight years.

The pronunciation of its name is different in different markets. In the U.S., the brand is pronounced /ˈniːsɑːn/, while in the UK it is /ˈnɪsæn/. In Japanese, it is [nisːaɴ].

Joomla can flip in and out of SSL mode.

Once it receives a command to go into SSL it will stay that way until getting a command to go back to http.

• The site can be set to be SSL all the time using “Force SSL” in Global Configuration.
• Switching to and from SSL mode is triggered by a menu item setting.
• The front end user Login module can be set to post to https instead of http.

There’s a Joomla Plugin called SSL Redirect plugin by Yireo software that might simplify the setup if some parts of the site are SSL and some not.

http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=514&t=543111 Vector Informatics has designed this site using Joomla 1.5 and the JA T3 template framework. Content rich, making use of components for functionality (such as RS Form Pro, Autostand, many others).

We are making a case to use Joomla as a framework across multiple dealer sites, and would greatly appreciate the feedback of the community. This site needs to be the best Joomla site out there if we are to make a solid case to use Joomla as a framework for dealership website development. Joomla provides enough functionality both on the front end and the backend, both with templates and database management, to provide an environment to run an entire car dealership. This includes: Internet Marketing (SEO), Lead collection and CRM, Database Management (Autostand Joomla component), easy content creation (Articles created by managers), and a plethora of components such as Forums, Chat applications, Video, and basically anything you can imagine, through the Joomla extensions directory. And most importantly, for functions not provided by component vendors, Joomla’s open source API leaves open any development possibility.

Joomla provides ease of template installation and modification, database functionality, and an open API for development.. What more could a CMS provide?

Component vendors: ProJoom, CMSFruit, Dioscouri, Joomlart, Kunena, Autostand

This article was written by Lukas Biewald, CEO of CrowdFlower and Leila Janah, CEO of Samasource.

On Thursday July 8, 2010, residents of Oakland took to the streets after a jury convicted police officer Johannes Mehserle of involuntary manslaughter of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old unarmed black youth. Race-related riots are not new to California. But this time, the first people to learn about violent incidents tied to the protests weren’t riot cops — they were the Oakland residents behind OscarGrantProtests.com, a website that allowed people near the action to map incidents of violence and view reports from others. Established in a few days, OscarGrantProtests employs crisis mapping technology from a group of open-source developers called Ushahidi, who built the software to report violence in the aftermath of the 2008 disputed Kenyan presidential election.

How to get people to spend more time on your website

Getting your customers to stay on your site longer will help you build a relationship with them and get them to purchase from you again.

Most visitors don’t spend more than a couple of minutes on your site, so they aren’t exposed to your brand or your products for very long. However, if you can offer something to your visitors on your website that will keep them there, they will be in contact with your brand for a lot longer. This will, at the very least, put you at the top of their mind and could potentially increase your sales.

The key to getting visitors to stay longer on your site is to give them access to something valuable. This can include educational tools, detailed information on your products and past work and even entertainment. Some features you can add to your website to make it more interactive and informative are:

• Case studies:
  Case studies are a great tool for educating your clients about how to best use your products. Site visitors can read them to learn about your products and services and then apply the information to their own situations. They are a great way to promote what you offer to prospects without directly selling to them. 

• Photo gallery:
  A photo gallery is a great way to showcase your past work. More than 60% of consumers will research a product and company on the Internet before they make a purchase, so making your portfolio of work available to potential clients will give them an idea of what you can do for them, while also keeping them on your site for longer.
• Internet forum:
  An Internet forum is a great way to build a community around your brand and your products. It gives customers and prospects a chance to interact with your business and other users. Internet Forums are a great tool for getting people to spend more time on your site, because they offer a lot of interesting and informative content for the visitor to read and potentially participate in.
• Blogs:
  Like forums, blogs allow visitors to interact with you, your business and other users, as well as providing interesting content to keep them on the site. Make your blog posts regular and entertaining and you will have site visitors staying on your site to read all the entries.
• Product catalogue:
  Consumers use the Internet to research products before they purchase them, so having an online product catalogue on your site will give visitors a reason to stay on for longer. Use pictures and detailed descriptions to make it informative, and use cross-selling to keep them browsing for longer.
• Articles:
  To keep your visitors on your site for longer than a few minutes, you need to give them something to do or to read that will keep their attention. Articles are a great tool for this, because they give you the opportunity to share your expertise with your prospects, while increasing the content on your website.
• RSS feeds:
  Like articles, RSS feeds are a fast and simple way to get interesting and valuable content on your website. You can subscribe to the RSS feeds of other websites and have up-to-date list of the news and articles from their site. You need to think about what your target market wants, then get the RSS feeds of websites that contain this information. This is a great way to make your site the ‘one stop shop’ for your prospects to get information on a variety of topics.  

• Quizzes:
  Quizzes are a great way to get visitors interacting with your site. Creating fun quizzes on your site gives site visitors something to engage in while they are on your website. These quizzes can be purely for entertainment (eg. trivia quiz), or they can be used as a sales tool (eg. product knowledge quiz) and will add value to your site.  Learn about the Bloomtools Quizzes tool

As well as getting people to spend more time on your site, these features have the added benefit of drawing these people back to your site on a regular basis. This is very important, because the more time people spend on your site, the more chances you have to convert them to customers.
