SEO Web Hosting Customers:

There is currently a brute-force login attack targeted at websites with WordPress. Due to the nature of this attack, there’s increased memory consumption on targeted servers. In some cases this has caused degradation of performance, and unresponsive servers.

The cause?

A high volume of http requests which can cause some servers to start
swapping memory to disk, and possibly run out of memory. The most impacted servers tend to be those with limited memory resources- this includes VPS instances, especially those with 1GB of RAM or less.

The SEO support team has been hard at work restoring service to managed servers which have been affected by this issue- and we’re actively engaged in reducing the impact of this event.

Please contact us at help@seowebhosting.net if you require assistance.

Thank you!

These days, a great danger lurks just a few clicks away: the online review. By Googling your company’s name, anyone can read and track your business’s performance – including mis-steps, poor service or less-than-stellar products that you’ve provided or sold.

Protecting your company’s reputation is now a 24-hour vigil. Negative reviews – whether they’re merited or not – can turn away potential customers and vendors, and reflect badly on your company’s brand.

The good news is that small-business owners can be proactive in securing positive reviews by asking satisfied customers to share their experiences. But what to do if it’s already too late and you are battling negative reviews that keeping your phone silent and your business down?

Reach out immediately to dissatisfied reviewers. Their negative comments don’t need to be the end of the conversation. Small-business owners should attempt a dialogue, experts say, as complainers might improve the review or take down the post.

Be Responsible

In this age of ecological fragility, companies that show an interest in the state of the environment enjoy very good reputations. Start making changes in your business to make it more sustainable and eco-friendly, and then detail your efforts online so your visitors will know exactly what you are doing to better the planet we live on.

Stay and Get Engaged in the Community

Your business reputation begins at the local level, so make it as positive as possible by getting involved in community events. When you show a vested interest in the vitality of your own community, your local customers will greatly appreciate the effort, and this will instantly increase your reputation.

Always Be Consistent

Once you have started building a good reputation for your business, do not stop. Reputation management is a daily concern and just one slip can set your business a mile back.

Follow these tips as a daily part of your business, and your online business reputation will grow quickly and exponentially.  As always a little effort goes a long way so remember the age old saying you get out what you put it.

So we spoke on why Social Media campaigns fail but you’re over that (pat yourself on the back a few times) so what’s next?

What usually happens next is you ask yourself this question “How do you know whether your social media marketing is paying off?”

First of all, the most valuable metrics won’t be the same for every social media marketing campaign.  Goals, experience, and focus may vary from company to company. Keep in mind that no one metric is proof of social media success and failure – but taken as a whole, there are some fairly good indicators of how your efforts are faring. So lets say your business is off to a great start. You know your market, you’ve developed a great presence, and you’re keeping your audience engaged and you know your social media efforts are playing a significant role. Naturally, some are more effective than others—but how do you really know what’s working or what’s not really working?

Here are some metrics and metric ideas on how you can measure your success.

1. Number and growth rate of followers
The number of followers you have on your social media accounts can reflect the amount of success your campaigns are having. Of course, there is not a single, definite number that defines success; what might be considered a paltry number for a large corporation with an extensive and long-running social media campaign may be an excellent showing for a smaller business just getting started in social media. Some industries also lend themselves to naturally attract more followers than others. When in doubt, try comparing yourself to competitors or other companies in your industry to get an idea of a good benchmark.

Many times, monitoring the growth rate of followers is just as important – if not more so – than simply the number of followers. This can be especially true for companies in the earlier stages of social media marketing. A steady rate of growth can be a sign that your campaigns are succeeding, while stagnation or loss of followers can signal that it’s time to take another look at your efforts.

2. Follower Interaction/ Content Sharing
You may be posting content on your social media accounts and gathering followers, but are they interacting? Fan engagement and interaction – such as “likes” and comments on Facebook and Pinterest and mentions on Twitter – can indicate that not only are your followers receiving your message, but they’re also absorbing it and interested enough to respond to it. Follower interactions show that they care about what you and your company have to say and have moved from passive listeners to active participants who are more tuned in.

When you post on social media accounts, you are sending messages that reach your immediate fans and followers. When they share this content, however, not only is it a sign that they think that what you post is interesting and valuable, but they are also helping to spread the word about your company to others, helping you reach a whole new group of potential followers – and potential customers. Keep track of your social media analytics, such as those provided by Facebook and Twitter, to get an idea of what your fans are sharing.

4. Traffic Driven To Your Web Site
Your social media efforts should ultimately be driving customers to your website, and your site’s analytics will be able to tell you if they are. Keep an eye on the traffic on your Web site that is referred from social media sites, and note the change over time. It’s also important to track other metrics such as bounce rate – the amount of time a customer stays on your Web site – and which pages your social media followers visit on your site.

5. Customer Conversion
While increased social media visitors and activity are a great sign, they don’t necessarily give you the information that major decision-makers in your company may want to see: the impact on the bottom line. Simply tracking any growth in sales as you increase your social media efforts is one effective way of showing a correlation. For more detailed and concrete numbers, you can also turn to your site’s analytics to track social media visitors’ traffic on your checkout pages.

Brick-and-mortar stores will also care about traffic driven directly into stores. This can be gauged by simply having cashiers ask customers at the registers about where they learned about the store, or by tracking the redemption of coupons offered exclusively on social media accounts.

Hopefully some of these help you in measuring your success of your social media campaign.  Got some other tips share them below.

Internet marketing is now a one of the most important pieces of any company’s marketing mix. There are few marketing options with the speed, efficiency and reach- so you should take the time to ensure your efforts in this area help to maximize your revenue and growth.

2013 will prove yet another year in which the array of internet marketing vehicles, tools and techniques will continue to increase. So lets help you capitalize on some of the hot opportunities out there. Below you’ll find a list of project internet marketing trends. You should take these in consideration when you are doing your planning or you can ignore them completely and see where you end up.

What it looks like makes all the difference
Looks matter, because design helps to sell and woo!- look at all the success of major well branded companies, such as Nike, or Apple Focus on great design for all of your internet marketing in 2013. Similarly, communication through visual means is red hot, and only going to get hotter. For example look at the explosion of infographics, or the dramatic rise in the popularity of Pinterest, or the redesigns of Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, we are going through a visual revolution. Make more of your marketing visual in 2013 and reap in the success.

Growing Smartphone Adoption = Mobile Madness
By 2013, 90% of all mobile phones will be smartphones. Location-based marketing and innovations like Google Wallet are reshaping the way consumers will source, buy, and review their product choices. Just think about it: a young woman is trying to decide which restaurant she should choose for the evening. She might post a question on Facebook, asking for recommendations from family and friends. Once she’s got it narrowed down, she’ll probably Google the location to find an address, phone number, and menu. She could even check out Yelp, TripAdvisor, or UrbanSpoon for more peer reviews. Once she’s at the location, she may choose to check in via smartphone on Foursquare, take an Instagram photo of her meal and upload it to Facebook, and then probably leave a review of her own. The purchasing process involves a complex web of both online and offline platforms, which are all connected in the reputation your business will develop. Make sure you have a strong presence on the platforms your audience frequents most, including monitoring and interacting through those outlets.

Video : The Gangnam style effect
More than 4 billion online videos are watched every day. Sixty-eight percent of video watchers share video links. So it’s clear your audience likes video. On top of this, consider that after 72 hours, a typical person can retain about 10% of text that they’ve read, 65% of an image they’ve seen, or 95% of a video they watched. Now lets think… that video might be helpful with communicating your message to your audience? Just a bit, huh?!? Like the old saying “the proof is in the pudding” and that’s some good pudding!

The Hispanic Market
Did you know Hispanics are the fastest-growing segment of the US population and currently they represent approximately 25% of new births so you can expect them to have a major impact on your future business. These number show that Hispanics will be spending more time online than non-Hispanics all while being more active online than non-Hispanics. If you have been ignoring the Hispanic market in your focus or target group perhaps its time to change. In 2013 it is time to start providing that market with the attention and customization that it deserves. Early adoption of your products, services or a combination of the both could play be huge for any long term success.

Media from Social Sites Gets Smarter: One e-Card a day
Currently Facebook has over 1 billion users, and Twitter has more than 500 million. Social media is growing and will continue to grow with this growth provides huge opportunity for your business. However it has proven to be difficult for many businesses to make sense of it all and to gain solid business value out of it. In 2012 and going into 2013 there are number of marketing platforms such as Wildfire by Google and ShortStack that making it easier to decipher all of this data. IN 2013 you can expect more granular social media analytics as provided by tools such as SproutSocial, Followerwonk and PageLever, to be born/evolve for helping businesses get more from their social marketing.

There is so much that 2013 has to offer how will you make the most of it? If you have some tools, tips, tricks or secrets you don’t mind parting with please share them in the comments.

Now as mentioned before this is just a list of the Internet Marketing and SEO conferences that I know of going on in Europe. If I have missed any or there are some that are not on this list let me know by posting them in the comments section.

On Christmas Eve, knowledge of a rather serious security hole for Wordpress was released.

The security hole, or “vulnerability”, only affects users that are using the W3 Total Cache plugin for WordPress. The details can be found here
(and the technical details here).

However, no official patch has been provided yet, even in the most up-to-date version.

To combat this, go to the wp-content directory of every WordPress
install you may have that has this plugin installed, and create a file
named .htaccess in the w3tc directory there:

[Wordpress installation directory]
+wp-content
-+w3tc
—.htaccess

and in this .htaccess file, add the lines:

Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all

This will prevent outside access to the directory containing sensitive
information. Alternatively, you may also want to configure W3TC to
disallow cache directory listings.

As always, please be sure to update any WordPress installs and plugins
you may have installed. This is a responsibility that we have of our
customers (as it’s simply not feasible for us to be in control of this),
and should be a quick and easy process to do.

If you are unsure of how to do this, you can follow the documentation here (we
recommend the Automatic Update feature). You can find more information
regarding plugins here.

The internet and social media are powerful way to advertise online. There are many companies that have dedicated SEO teams or outside providers to do their SEO, as well as teams of dedicated people just to keep their Social Media presence active.

Why else would companies be paying so much money and attention toward these marketing efforts if they weren’t providing great results? Well now that we have established that, you must be ready to take your SEO to the next level…right?
Good. get a glass of water, pen and paper. It’s time for Twitter for SEO 101.

Google, as you may know, is already indexing Tweets and Twitter pages, which are showing up in Google Search Results. Yeah, you read that right. Your rant (kind of like this one) could end up in Twitter. Think of what you can do with that premium space and best of all its free advertising and the only thing better than free advertising is making money from free advertising.

Check out these quick start tips for using Twitter as an SEO tool:

Select an account name wisely
You should optimize your Twitter account name to best reflect your brand. This name appears next to your profile, which can be different than your handle/URL. So you clearly need an account name that not only promotes yourself, your company, your brand or all three if applicable.

Think hard and get a good handle
Get a handle that’s relevant if you sell widgets don’t get an “obie-one-canobie” inspired handle it will serve you no good! This handle should be easy to remember as it becomes a part of your twitter URL. My tips of success here are to “KISS” it… Keep it Simple Silly.

What does your bio really say
Twitter was so nice they gave you a bio box that can house 160 characters. These characters very important for your account and since your BIO is always indexed remember to update it when necessary to get the most out of this BIO.

Keyword-rich tweets
Think of it like SEO from the early 2000′s where you could stuff keywords…whenever & wherever possible, start your tweet with your main keyword phrase to theme each message. Utilize any trendy lingo or buzz words as this will enable you to capitalize on timely searches on those terms. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should fill your tweets with buzz words at the expense of providing value to your followers!

Select the initial characters of each tweet carefully
The “lead-in” of each tweet appears to be important for SEO as it will determine what appears in the tweet’s title tag when it shows up as a search result on Google. Approximately 42 characters are factored into each tweet’s title tag, including the account name, as well as the initial characters of each tweet. Keep in mind that your full tweet and all its characters are still being indexed by major engines, though.

Use these tips wisely, and remember- utilizing your social media profiles for search engines is no longer a luxury; it’s a must. Also, don’t forget to to link your Twitter profile wherever you can. If you have any tips you’d like to share, leave them in the comments section. Until next time.

Want to earn credits on your SEO Web Hosting account that you can use towards acquiring other SEO products and services? Check out the new SEOwebhosting.net Customer Reward Program!

Here’s how it works:

When you create an account with SEO Web Hosting, you’re automatically enrolled.

Each month, you will receive a credit of 5% of your monthly paid invoice(s). This credit will remain in the rewards module of WHMCS until you’re eligible to request conversion, which occurs when you reach the baseline minimum of $50 accumulated.

Your points will then be converted into dollars, and placed into your “credit balance” bucket. You will then have 5 business days to use the credit towards the purchase of new products and services.

Example: Harold has a monthly bill of $625. The 5% reward would offer him $31.25 in credit per month or $375 per year. He can use that credit to purchase add-on IPs or a new VPS. The only stipulation is Harold has to have at least $50 in credit balance to request usage.
