Focus on Enterprise SEO Internet Marketing

There's a newly opened attraction located just hours away from the city. I've already seen photos of the place at their Facebook page and from online friends who had a chance to visit it days after it opened. There are rides, gazebos, picnic grounds and several more, that families and their friends can enjoy. As we passed by this place, we're surprised to see that parking slots are filled and several people lined up in the entrance gate. Even if construction in some parts are still on-going and some areas are not yet opened, people already flocked by to see and experience the fun that this place could bring.

True enough, this proves that online marketing is an effective way of advertising a business. Since most people are in social media, businesses make use of these sites like Facebook and Twitter to spread information about their products and services. Nowadays, not only big companies and well-known brands have their own websites or social media sites, but every local entrepreneurs and small businesses out there. Everyone who makes use of internet marketing effectively can really create buzz to attract potential customers and clients.

This is one reason why small business owners and Internet marketers should always incorporate social media in their marketing and enterprise seo at www.OrangeSoda.com campaigns. Still, they have to make sure they have followers and that they post interesting content regularly. Through this, they can easily connect to their customers on a personal level and build good relationship with their customers. Not only is it cost-worthy, even you social media followers make good marketers as well. Customers usually take photo of a product and share it on their Facebook pages or Instagram. Some would share interesting info to their network about a good service in their Twitter pages.

I find it convenient to see those businesses online. I usually check if a shop is having a sale of if there are ongoing promos and offers in the supermarket or department stores we frequently visit. It is also interesting to see if the salon and spa, the cafe near the church, the bakery or the pet shop in our village have their own Facebook pages.

It's good that even small businesses make use of Google Maps marketing. It helps them to establish their online businesses.

Everyday, Internet users rely on Google Maps to find anything from products and services, to restaurants and local stores.

Even people on the go who make use of their iPhones, Blackberrys and iPads use it while walking, driving or shopping.

Since customers keep businesses alive, take time to put small business in the map. If you're business is in the map, you are also increasing the probability of getting more clients.

Be Seen Online Through Internet Marketing

"Check the site on the Internet." I told my husband these words when he asked about the name of cupcake he brought at the office. His officemates wanted to know where they could buy the cupcakes. But since it's not a traditional bakeshop, all they could do is check out the Facebook page and coordinate with the seller if they wanted to order some. My family love the cupcakes so much. I'll be sharing a post about it soon.

DFA Passport Renewal and Application

Mom would be getting a passport for my younger sister and she made use of the DFA Passport Appointment System. Through this system, she also scheduled for our family's passport renewal and the passport application of my kids. This Passport Appointment System is where passport applicants can set appointment with the Department of Foreign Affairs just by filing-out an online request form. Mom submitted a request form in the morning and received a confirmation in the afternoon; and we were scheduled two days after filing.

My parents, my two sisters and I arrived at the DFA building at 10:30 a.m. We had our applications and requirements verified, proceed to pay for the passport and fall-in line for the encoding process. Regular passport processing (14 working days) cost Php 500, while expedited processing (7 working days) cost Php 750. We left DFA 15 minutes before 12 noon. We all finished the application and renewal for about an hour. My husband who was scheduled in the afternoon finished his application in less than an hour; and his transaction even includes the lost-passport verification process.

Our family's experience in passport renewal and application went smoothly, compared to other people who would spend hours and even days in getting a passport. We simply followed the procedures and prepared all the requirements before going to the DFA. I could really say that our family's transaction at this government office did not stress us out.

Here are simple reminders that would somehow help passport applicants:

1. Check and prepare all the requirements, from the accomplished application form and documents before going to the DFA. This will really save you time in going back-and forth to the DFA.
2. Bring original copies of your proof of identities (NSO Birth Certificate, Marriage Contract, etc.) and ID. Also, have your IDs photocopied.
3. Make sure that your application forms and documents are presented well. Meaning, it is neat and not crumpled.
4. If you are using the Online Appointment System, be there at your scheduled time.
5. Don't be bothered by the fixers and shouters along the streets of Libertad.
6. If you want more convenience, you can opt for the help of a travel agency (with additional cost) or through courier, so you can just have your passport delivered at your home or office.

Slow Internet Connection Due to Cable Cut

Sigh.

Until now, Internet connection at home is still in a very slow pace. My sister who is using Smart Bro is not having problems with her Internet access at all. Thus, I initially thought that it was only our connection or a downtime in PLDT DSL, but then some people I know are also experiencing this. Some are saying and PLDT informs that the slow internet connection is because of the earthquake that hit Japan last August 11.

I have just read this official report a few hours ago. Updates from ZD Net Asia says that-

"A cut in the Asia-Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN2) undersea submarine cable crippled connection speeds for users in the Asia-Pacific region on Wednesday, particularly in Singapore and the Philippines."

According to a report sent by TM Net, a Malaysian telco, this is because of Typhoon Morakat that hit the region over the weekend. This is the reason why Internet traffics are being rerouted to other cable systems.

I am really hoping that this situation will get back to normal as soon as possible. There's a lot that I still need to accomplish.

Wolfram Alpha: The Knowledge Search Engine Goes Live

Wolfram Alpha is now live!

Prior to the much-awaited launch of Wolfram Alpha, there’d been hype over the past weeks that this would be “the engine that would rival Google’s”. But definitely, it won’t be and it won’t be a competitor! Wolfram Alpha is different from the traditional search engine; it provides new approach to search which they call “computational”. Google lists web pages relevant to the search term, whereas, at Wolfram Alpha, a user inserts a question which is then digested and the answer is computed based on its collection of data.
This is a site for answers to factual questions, but with lesser detail. Could it possibly be a Wikipedia contender?

Wolfram prefers to call it a “computational knowledge engine”. It tries to answer diverse questions or calculations from the simplest to the most complex ones. It can handle mathematical questions, physics and chemistry. It can generate and compare statistics, and build charts and graphs based on the data. It could really act like a giant scientific calculator. Indeed, it is an amazing and powerful tool! This would definitely be a huge help for most students, educators and academicians, scientists and the inquisitive public. This is a great supplement and research tool repertoire.

Wolfram Alpha’s Goal:
WolframAlpha's long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone.
WolframAlpha aims to bring expert-level knowledge and capabilities to the broadest possible range of people.
WolframAlpha is an ambitious, long-term intellectual endeavor that we intend will deliver increasing capabilities over the years and decades to come.

I've tried using Wolfram Alpha to see for myself what it can deliver; and this is the coolest response I got -
Question: Where are you?
Response: I live on the Internet

A few other simple queries -
Question: who is wolfram alpha?

Question: $2000 to Philippine Peso
I've tried a variety of queries such as getting information from an airline and a URL; calories and nutritional value computation; weather forecasts, population and unemployment rates, stocks analysis, gravitational computation, statistical analysis... and a whole lot more!

This is the most amazing so far - calculate the derivative of a function derivative of x^4 sin x. Here's the complete results and you can even check on the steps on how it arrived to that solution:

Wolfram is officially launched and is now available. With its pros and cons, I am still off to exploring Wolfram Alpha while the engine is still hot!
