How To Use Google Plus for Social Learning. Check 6 Tips To Use Google Plus For Social Learning.
Welcome to my first newsletter of 2015, and what a way to start the New Year with 35000 members and counting!!
We are adding somewhere between 1000 and 2000 members a day right now which means we could be looking at between 400 000 and 500 000 members this time next year.
In my estimation, if we continue at this growth rate, once we start the mining on January 20th, we would be well on track to become number two in cryptocurrency market capitalizations, just behind the leader Bitcoin which is currently standing at a market cap of $ 3,691,867,140 and well ahead of number two, Ripple at only $577 million. Source: http://coinmarketcap.com/
And if we can achieve this in our first year…what do you think will happen in year two? Correct, OneCoin can become the Number One cryptocurrency in the world, ahead of current dominant player, Bitcoin which has been around since 2008.
Onecoin is still in an early stage and therefore interesting for investors, while Bitcoin is already very mature . less profit there

There is a new invisible giant using 5 "tricks" so the "new seo" is getting harder and harder to see and understand. This Haiku Deck and Curatti blog post is about how to see the invisible giant. How to win hearts and minds online.
Why New SEO So Hard To See
* Google Float & Filter Bubbles.
* Social Media Marketing's Disappearing Act.
* Friends of Friends Marketing.
* Multi-channel Marketing.
* Web's "Fabric" Like Space/Time.
Adding a Curatti blog post at midnight tonight too.
Thought provoking on many fronts. The notion of need of predictive models (and other tools) to link content with visitors.
(From the article): Content Marketing is a tricky idea. You need to create authoritative content, but just enough that community is forming comfortably. Talk to much, in the wrong voice or at the wrong time sand you kill your fledgling community (easy to do).

ptimising your pages Have you ever been to a slow site and it felt like it took hours to load? You look down at your computer clock and really only 30 seconds have gone by. That's just the user experience on a slow site- the real question is “Does your website speed effect your ranking?” Will your slightly slower site be penalized by Google and other search engines when you clients are even looking for you?In this easy to understand graphic, we see that 1 second makes all the difference in the world. And after just 6 short weeks of poor load times, your site can lose 75% of it’s traffic to that page.If you have a low ranking you might want to follow some of the Google Guidelines to pre-load your most popular pages to increase your site’s overall performance.
Does Website Speed Affect Your Ranking? (infographic)
SEO SEO, al final todo es KPI's y posicionamiento.
Website speed affects ranking and conversions. Pages load time is an important issue to be fixed if load time is over 3 sec.
The practice of using article directories as a way to build links for search engine optimisation strategies is one that has been around for a long time, but now Google’s Matt Cutts has spoken out against this tactic. But, don’t worry; there are still legitimate ways to build links to help you get higher rankings. …

Follow Thomas Power on G+
An interesting conversation broke out on Thomas Power's G+ profile (https://plus.google.com/114149296801704936672/posts/8AYn6gwG1wc ). Funny how relevant the conversation is to Future of Web Design 1 & 2 Haiku Decks (http://sco.lt/7r6zkf & http://sco.lt/61eqNF ).
Here is a riff I just added to the great conversation about Google and the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire:
Note To Thomas Power based on his thread...
Decline and fall of the Roman Empire for Google for sure. I think social scared them about as much as a company can be scared sort of like how scared Microsoft was of the web.
Turns out they both were right to be scared (lol). As we move toward semantic web, a web of meaning and context checked by social, what we know as Google will be all but gone.
I just created a Haiku Deck about how web design changes in a semantic web time (http://sco.lt/61eqNF if you are interested and sorry to pimp your post).
The reason the big G is worried and closing the gates is app-ification + semantic could be a difficult combination for their $. Google's system depends on the VOTE of a link (or link expressed as social share).
What if we LINK LESS? What if we SEARCH LESS? In an app-based world where I watch my Amazon movies without every appearing to go to Amazon (at least as far as Google is concerned) how relevant and true is Google's traffic analysis?
Last night I fired my Amazon app to watch Inspector Morris and Google has NO VIEW into that click or time on site, none. As the mobile web dominates we will app-ify all of our code.
My deck speaks to our adoption of the Google float. Once our websites are What If math then we can be said to be fully app based too since what Google's spider "sees" is nothing.
Nothing because what you see when you go to my website will be different than what someone else sees based on your cookie. That cookie will say what persona you belong within and so what website you see.
If Google has value in the world described in the Future of Web Design it will be VASTLY different than counting links. I think THIS anticipation of OUR future floats is why Google is insisting on having us all logged in all the time.
Once we are logged in we are using Google's app in a similar way as my use of Amazon's last night. We disappear to anyone other than Google allowing Google to create a new value system NOT based on links.
Semantic web is that new value system not based on links. Google will have so many signals and so much big data on behavior they can craft a new voting booth for their SERPs pages - one that may just remain elegant and relevant even in a world of meaning controlled by apps.
Interesting conversation about importance of shares as a metric for Google and the threat of "app-ification" (+

It’s about time you give some love to Google+, a social media platform set to attract more people not only because of its new dressed up interface, but also by the recent features added.
Google+ is obviously betting big on photos as it launches its ability to “auto awesome” images uploaded to it. Its mobile app came through with its refreshing updates as well. All in all, it has been a very active month for Google+ and the new wave of features is projected to increase its social networking share.
Now here’s an infographic ready to turn anyone who’s willing to make the jump an instant Google+ savvy user.

This is an infographic about current SEO thinking with tips and tools to help sites rank better on search engines.
Most people have a general idea of how to optimize their content for search engines. That search engine algorithms are proprietary and evolving inevitably causes different opinions on SEO. Of course there’s another school of thought that minimal keyword research and a green-light from a SEO plugin are enough to publish a piece.
This infographic challenges writers and some of the preconceived notions about SEO. It has a mixture of tips and tools to help you rank better in search...
Infographie sympa sur la rédaction SEO... A lire et relire, c'est toujours utile ! ;)

"In May, 2010, Matt Cutts denied that social signals had an effect on search rankings. In December of the same year, he declared that they were actually starting to work in the buzz and signals they were able to get through social media into the site authority factor of their ranking algorithm. Six months later, Google+ was born.
The Penguin Update and subsequent tweaks to it have changed the way that search engine marketers approach aggressive optimization. The days of running rampant and blasting out bulk links are gone. Today, quality finally trumps quantity and the playing field has been leveled in a way that in essence puts a "governor" on how quickly they can ramp up the rankings on their domains.
As social signals grow in their effects on search rankings for both Google and Bing, the ability to create amazing content and promote it on social media is quickly becoming the most important technique that internet marketers have in their arsenal. In 2013, it will likely eclipse link-building as a ranking factor.
Here are three things you must understand to make it work for you today and to be ready for what lies ahead".

Robin Good: If you are interested in understanding more about what your web site visitors effectively see, when they land on one of your pages, this newly launched tool for optimizing your site content by visualizing relevant data right on your web pages, will be definitely helpful.
As part of its free Google Analytics service, Google has just announced the release of a new tool, replacing the old Browsersize tool they offered before, with a new one capable of visualizing on top of any of your web site pages data refelecting the amount of the page that your visitors are actually seeing upon landing on it.
To access this new function do as follows: "Simply navigate to the Content section in Google Analytics, and click In-Page Analytics.
A new information layer is available (the feature is bing rolled out gradually over the next few weeks, so please be patient if you don’t see it yet).
Click Browser Size to shade portions of the page that are below the fold.
You can now click anywhere on the screen to see what percentage of visitors can see it, or control the threshold percentage by using the slider."

Whether you love Google or love to hate Google, you have to admit one thing. Google offers a lot of free tools to use with the convenience of being able to access them with one login.
Marketers in particular should take advantage of these tools to get more out of their search engine and social media marketing experience. The following are some of the top Google tools marketers should embrace from A to (almost) Z!
1. Google AdSense
Ever created a niche website for linking purposes, affiliate marketing, content development, or another reason that never panned out? If the website gets even a moderate amount of traffic, and you have no other use for it for the time being, why not earn a little income off of it using Google AdSense? By simply placing some ad code in the header, content, and sidebar of the website, you can earn some passive income. The amount you earn will depend on the topic of the website and the amount of visitors it receives.

This is a good piece, and of course, it has everything to do with content, if you're curating for business and branding, you will want to have a look at this, good info.
Intro:
"When developing a social search strategy, it's tempting to look at social networks"'alone and how you will effectively be found through search to gain...
Social search is gaining in popularity as a marketing term and practice as more brands recognise the benefit in developing a combined strategy and the need to react to changing consumer behaviour.
A search engine results page is no longer just a mass of static links, but combines photo, video and realtime content to present the user with an increasingly changing web of gateways to content online.
The focus for a long time has been on the strategy on external social networks – increasing your profiles to reach new users but also improve your search engine rankings to control the front page for your results. The website has taken somewhat of a backfoot when it comes to a social search strategy, but you risk ignoring it at your peril.
Content is still king
