Online Marketing Strategy

In fact, as in so many other web platforms that were born in the last couple of decades and even before, RSS support was present on Twitter from the beginning, until one of the many updates received, its managers decided get it out of the way. Why? With the explosion of social networks, the enlightened ones considered that a technology like RSS was doomed… but nothing could be further from the truth.

In essence, we are talking about the above, content syndication using open standards to receive the information you want , and not the one c

It looks like Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding (VIE:SEM) is about to go ex-dividend in the next 2 days. The ex-dividend date occurs one day before the record date which is the day on which shareholders need to be on the company's books in order to receive a dividend. The ex-dividend date is of consequence because whenever a stock is bought or sold, the trade takes at least two business day to settle. Meaning, you will need to purchase Semperit Holding's shares before the 2nd of May to receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 4th of May. The company's next dividend payment will be €1.50 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of €1.50 to shareholders. Calculating the last year's worth of payments shows that Semperit Holding has a trailing yield of 6.4% on the current share price of €23.5. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. So we need

You don't have to use Google to google, and there are plenty of reasons not to. For one, you can avoid the privacy concerns that come with a mammoth corporation knowing so much about you from your searches and web activity. Plus, some alternative search engines offer other benefits, such as rewards or donations to worthy causes based on how much you search. In earlier days, the quality of web search results was a real issue. Nowadays, you'd be hard-pressed to find much difference in the results generated by one site versus another. You're just as likely to find what you're looking for with any search engine as you are with Google. Indeed, several of the sites included below use privatized results from Bing and Google, though some have done the work of building their own web-crawling site indexes. Search results can, however, differ among these services. Websites have worked hard to game Google's algorithm specifically so that their sites appear higher on the result

DuckDuckGo and Brave are hashing their products online, and it is in retaliation to Google's AMP tracking that hunts for articles online. The new features of these private web services would bring users a chance to be anonymous or confidential online, allowing the public to hide their online activity and data from the likes of the famous internet company. (Photo : Leon Seibert on Unsplash) DuckDuckGo's Take on Google's AMP Tracking DuckDuckGo took its new product announcement to Twitter, and the company explicitly said that it aims to block Google whenever it tries to take data from users for its AMP features. The Accelerated Mobile Pages from Google is an internet tool that focuses on taking article data online and having it available for a quick view.  The secure web browser said that instead of using one's data to display whenever posting an article or other information online, it would show the original source instead of one's dat

In 2022, having an online presence for your restaurant business is essential. When looking for new places to eat, people turn to search for thousands of results at their fingertips – and the competition is fierce.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is one of the best and most affordable ways to distinguish your restaurant online. While on-page SEO is all about optimizing your website, off-page SEO focuses on spreading your reach online.

West Coast Tasmania: www.westcoasttas.com.au Tourist boards aren't often known for their thoughtful designs or eye-catching aesthetics, and it's easy to end up with a product that feels glitzy yet soulless; sun-kissed landscapes and smiling faces that are ultimately lost in the sea of other tourism websites that offer pretty much the same thing. West Coast Tasmania, however, truly breaks the mould in this regard. When you land on its website, the first thing you're presented with is a near-full screen video montage of some of the most beautiful views around Tasmania's rugged west coast, framed by an enticing red and yellow border which sets the tone for the overall colour palette. It feels rich and characterful and nothing like what you were expecting. Designed by New Zealander studio Sons & Co., and branded by Australian agency For The People, the West Coast Tasmania aesthetic strikes a great balance between the contemporary and the retro.

YouTube has announced that it's rolling out its new Search Insights feature to all creators, which will provide a range of new data points to help refine your YouTube strategy, based on what people are looking for in the app. YouTube initially provided an overview of Search Insights in November last year, which will include information on what people are searching for in the app, both in relation to your channel and content specifically, and for more general search queries.
