Google back into social networking with GOOGLE PLUS

  Google is going to make its re-entrance into social networking, with Google Plus (Google+ or gPlus). There is no doubt that, it will take over facebook very soon, as facebook took over mySpace. Google has already started its test run for a couple of weeks. Currently, they have launched a filed trial run on June 30th 2010, and are testing it with very few users, that they randomly selected. They sent invitations to the selected ones, and only those who have registered from these invitations can invite more users( the same kind of thing that they used at the launching of gmail.). Google has already launched +1 service a few months back. It is very similar to the like button of facebook. Webmasters can install the +1 on their website too. As google is the largest search engine, the marketing and advertising part is very simple and effective. They have advertised Google Buzz very effectively, simply by putting a small link on top of very pages of Google. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has also started an account in Google plus. "Why are people so surprised that I’d have a Google account?" Zuckerberg recently texted to tech blogger Robert Scoble. They have now redesigned their menu-bar into black colour, with a provision for getting the notification of Google Plus in every page. 

 Google once made a try into social networking using Orkut, which was a hype in India, Brazil etc., and not much famous in U.S. Actually, Orkut was not officially made by Google, but by an employee of Google named Orkut. Google bought it from him and integrated it with the Google accounts. It was bought by Google in 2004 and was upgraded and improved through out. But it slowly lost its market in 2010. The reason was that, it was very difficult for integrating to Google and at the same time to compete with facebook. Google Buzz was also not very successful. So, for the last one and a half years, a team lead by the Senior Vice-President of Google, Mr. Vic Gundotra, was researching and developing the brand new Google Plus.

 +Circles: Google has actually mentioned by words, that the privacy control of updates in facebook is not at all efficient. gPlus enables a better privacy control called Cirlces. Unlike the friends list in facebook, we can divide the friends into circles, with different privacy settings. They say that, you can share different things with different people. Circles makes it easy to put your friends from Saturday night in one circle, your parents in another, and your boss in a circle by himself - just like real life.

 +Hangouts: This is another major functionality they are going to offer. Hangouts is a video chatting service, which is not available in facebook. Though some applications of facebook provides video chatting service, they does not have it in-built. Google is famous for its gTalk, with video chatting service.

+Sparks: The Spark is similar to that of the sponsored ads from facebook. In facebook, they show some ads at the right side, based upon our interests. Similarly, based upon the interests we have set, they will show YouTube videos, blogs etc.in a window.

+Huddle: More than ten people can group text chat from their mobile phone using the service called Huddle. It is just similar to the free texting offered by BlackBerry phones.

Attract more traffc to your website

   Most of us make a website dreaming tremendous traffic to our website. But we get upset on seeing the poor traffic. Ever wondered how these internet giants like Google, eBay, Wikipedia, Facebook etc. get this much traffic..? Well, you cannot say it is because of advertising, because we hardly see their ads..right?
    So, let us see the tactics they use to drive traffic. You also can follow these methods to get more traffic. Let me list them as points.


   Visitors like white background- Google, eBay, Wikipedia, Facebook etc.uses white backgrounds. All other colours will give a sudden negative effect in the visitor's mind. When I created my website first, I saw that most of the visitors stay for less than 10 seconds. ie., they just close the page simply when they see the colour of the website. So I researched on it. I find that users have a different approach to the background colours. The visitors interest for the famous colour combinations are as in the chart. It is clear that white background with black letters are attracts more visitors. But in some situations, you must adapt to some other colours. For example, if its a website exhibiting some digital art works or animations, then a black background with white letters is better. If it is a website about some ladies items, better you give a pink colour.  

   
    Home page should load in seconds- Your home page should not be over-facilitated with graphics, images or ads. Nobody will be patient to wait for a site taking so long to load. You can make the home page with a brief description and the major links only. Other bandwidth consuming  graphics and images should be placed inside the sub pages. You can imagine of google and wikipedia. But if the website is designed for a specific product like for a mobile phone or a car, then it shall include  high definition images and graphics. Think of the website of Nokia, Dell, BMW. In this case users will be specifically coming for this product and shall be patient enough to load the page.  

   Offer some free stuff- You can offer some free stuff for your visitors. The offer details and download link should be placed in the home page itself. You can offer some free ebooks or softwares or anything that is not much available in other sites. You can also place links to your website in the free stuff you are offering, so that others can also be directed to your site. One another thing is that, instead of straight away giving the download link, you can ask for their email address and mail the stuff. In this case you get their email addresses also, so that  you can sent them newsletters about your site in the future.

 
   Facebook advertising- You can start a fan page in facebook about your website, free of cost. Sent it to your friends and tell them to like it. This will give exposure your site to more people than you can imagine. Consider you have 500 friends and you sent your fan page link to them. If each of your 500 friends have 500 friends, then your page will be seen by 500 x 500= 250000. Then imagine the exposure your site will get when the  friends of these 250000 people see that. Mm.. millions. Well if you have money, then you can try for the facebook sponsored ads. You get targeted visitors to your site. Facebook will automatically show your advertisement to people having specific interests, likes and geographic locations. The more you pay, the more traffic you get on this.

    Link Partnership- You can find other websites similar to yours and contact their administrators. You can enter into an agreement so that their advertisement is placed on yours and your advertisement is placed on their. Doing so will result in traffic exchange so that you will get some redirected visitors from them. Instead of simply placing links, you can place banners to attract more visitors. You can design attractive  banners using photoshop or flash. Click here to get your banners designed by professionals at very cheap rate.

   Traffic from search engines- The best way to get traffic is not to go after them but to make them come for you. Search engines can do major role in this. You know that , if you want to buy a product, then you search it in a search engine like google. As you have the keyword ‘buy’, the search engine will immediately come up with eBay. Similarly, if you search persons name, then facebook will come first in the result. This is because, these websites have a high search engine ranking. You have to do Search Engine Optimization (SEO). But, hold on, please don't pay money to websites offering SEO services. You may see them promising 1000 vistors in one day or so. Wasting money in these type of websites is of NO USE. What they do is, simply load your website address into a program that will generate proxy IPs and browse automatically. You will see visitor statistics in your website, and does not know that these are only mere computer generated bots. Doing so will never increase your search engine ranking. You have to give your website link to many blogs and forums. Search engines will automatically get your website to higher rank, as more sites and blogs link to you. You must be patient enough, for the search engines to do that. Usually it takes months to get listed in Google.

    Other ways- If you are so serious about your website, then you can design some posters and distribute somewhere. You can even design business cards with your website address.

Create a Professional Website for free

Ever tried to make a website and failed..? Then no more worries. Let me introduce some of the most efficient methods to do that. That is to use a free domain name and free hosting space. Before coming to this blog, you might have searched the internet and got a dozen of free website hosters. But the main problems with these are:

• You cannot get a custom website address like www.your-name.com, rather you get an address something like www.their-website-address.your-name.com. ie., you get only a subname.
• Your website will be populated with their advertisements and promotional links.
• Your website bandwidth, storage space et.c will be very limited.
• Google adsense account will never be issued to such websites appearing to be subpages. 
• You should have a thorough background of html coding, database management etc.

Well the above problems will never allow you to be successful. A website without a proper domain name will not attract traffic, will appear insecure to the visitors, will never come in search engine rankings and so on.. 

Now let us see how to tackle these problems. There are two free website hosters, which have very close facilities of a paid website hosters. These are 110mb.com and webs.com. Both have very efficient website builder tools and very short domain name. But hold on, let me suggest something. I would prefer webs.com due to the following reasons:

• Webs have smaller ads than 110mb. You can remove that ad also, by a simple trick. I will explain it at the last.
• The website builder tool of Webs is better than 110mb.
• Search engine optimization and marketing are also easier in Webs than 110mb.
• Managing the website is very easier in Webs.
• You can upgrade your account without paying money, but by completing some offers like survey.

You can register for Webs.com. You get a domain name as www.your-name.webs.com. You can also register at www.co.cc or www.dot.tk, and get your domain name shortened as www.your-name.co.cc or www.your-name.tk respectively.

You can browse through a hundreds of themes and add many add-ons to you site such as blog, shopping cart, membership login, form submissions, google adsense, etc. You can also track the visitor's logs, location, time spent etc.

At last, if you want to remove those small ads appearing then you can got to site-setings>>downgrade. It will convert you site into html code. Then you can delete the part of the code for advertisements. But once you downgrade it, you can never upgrade it and can never use the site-builder tools thereafter. So, do it only if you are an expert in html coding.

After you do this, you can complete the free and easy offers they provide. Those includes surveying, registering to some website etc., for which you earn credits. You can use these credits to buy proffessional domain names such as .com, .net etc

The website you are registering must be older than three months. Then it takes 2-3 buisiness days to review your application.

• In the mean time, you shall upload more contents and browse through other’s contents. 

                In Flixya, try to add blogs which contains contents written by you, and not copied from others. Also, make sure the photos and videos  you upload are not any family-photos or family-videos or similar items which others are less interested.

Loading an animated gif onto your wall in facebook

First of all, facebook does not support animated gifs(moving pictures) as profile picture or in album. But there are some applications in facebook that provides this functionality. One such example is the 'Animated Picture'

http://apps.facebook.com/animated-picture

This application provides links to animated gif pictures. If you post this link in your wall, or your friend's wall, then you will see animated picture. But note that, you cannot download the animated gif and upload it again. In that case, only the first image of the gif sequence will appear.
