30+ Intricate & Cryptic Key Designs


30+ Intricate & Cryptic Key Designs


We use keys every day, to lock up our wealthy possessions or to open our precious vaults, when needed. But despite their practical importance, we don’t hold them in high regard, like how we view our jewellery or photography equipment. And the reason is quite simple: it’s because of their boring straight-off-the-mill designs.
In fact, one key looks pretty much like the other, apart from the pattern carved onto the body of the key. Well, that gives us all the more reason to spruce things up a bit, doesn’t it?

Lost Your Google Reviews? Take A Proactive Stance!


Lost Your Google Reviews? Take A Proactive Stance!


Apart from a local business profile completely disappearing from Google's local index, few things cause more frustration and heartache than lost reviews. Unfortunately, lost reviews are one of the problems most frequently reported by local business owners, creating stormy weather in this whole region of Google land. Have you or your clients recently experienced an uptick in lost reviews? This post is for you!
Lost reviews are almost as old as Google's entrance into Local. As early as 2006, Local SEO extraordinaire, Mike Blumenthal, began writing about the important role reviews appeared to be playing in local rankings, and in 2007 about a sudden loss of reviews and suspicion of a review filter. This saga has continued month by month over the past 6 years, with countless reviews disappearing into a black hole and bewildered business owners begging for answers.
I now present to you: the #1 link you need to have if you've lost your reviews!
This will take you to a thread in the Google and Your Business Forum in which Mike Blumenthal is attempting to have all lost review complaints consolidated into one place. It is suspected that Google has either implemented a new filter or done an upgrade to an old one, causing many reviews (including totally legitimate ones) to be lost. Mike states:
"Let's consolidate the issues into this ONE huge post and see if we can get someone from Google to monitor all of these cases... If you are in, I will do what I can to get more Google eyes looking at this issue."
As a Top Contributor to the Google and Your Business Forum, Mike has the ability to communicate directly with Google staff, so this is the best place on the web to document your lost reviews in hopes of taking effective action. Fair warning: don't hold your breath on this. You may or may not see your reviews reappear, but at the very least you will be making yourself heard and signaling to Google the seriousness of the current issue, hopefully generating better future outcomes if not a return of specific reviews you have just lost. I'm encouraging you to take a proactive stance on an issue that has a genuine effect on millions of businesses. There are already more than 99 posts on that thread. Keep them coming!
Between August 6- 16, Google staffer Jade W. has provided several responses on the thread which I recommend you read in full. Consolidated, the responses include:
"Soliciting reviews is suspect behavior for our systems, so please please please make sure your reviews are legitimate and left by your customers of their own accord...The majority of the reviews cases that I have investigated from the forum and other channels are reviews being taken down for suspicious reviewing behavior...
It's fine if you reach out to customers to ask them to review, but I do not recommend that you do this in waves. If you want to reach out to legit customers and ask them to review, I recommend you contact them immediately after you have done business with them. ...In our ideas, the "ideal" review is by a customer who writes a review of a place completely by his or her own accord, on mobile during the experience or at home after. This would mimic the regular flow of the business. On the other hand, some SEO companies that resort to spam reviews to deliver "results" would exhibit different behavior."
As I understand it, Jade W. is indicating that the majority of reviews being removed are for 'suspicious behavior' and she mentions types of solicitations of reviews and also 'waves' of reviews. Local SEOs and business owners who have been following the review issue for years will almost certainly recall that Google has not only solicited reviews in the past, but also authorized the use of review stations in December 2011.
It would appear that if you followed Google's lead on this and ran a contest to solicit reviews (thereby generating a wave of incoming reviews) or set up a review station in your shop to solicit reviews, you could be in danger of losing those reviews. Not trying to be a smart aleck here, but I honestly don't believe I will be alone in seeing a bit of irony in this scenario.
If Google has now decided that legitimate reviews don't come in waves, I hope they will read the comment in the same forum thread from Top Contributor Linda Buquet of Catalyst eMarketing. Here is an excerpt:
"Here's a common example that I think often happens and is totally legit. This could be a local store, restaurant, Dentist, or whatever...Monthly email newsletter goes out. At bottom it says "Check out all our great reviews on Google and please leave us one if you have any feedback to share"...Then due to that newsletter going out to all customers, they may get a bunch of reviews all at once. Then next month another big rush."
I have to agree with Linda on this. There are so many instances that could generate waves of interest and, thus, waves of reviews. How about a blowout sale at a store, a special foodie event at a restaurant, or a high profile news piece on a local business? In the 17th century, Issac Newton and Christiaan Huygens had conflicting theories as to whether light is a wave or a particle. Eventually, the theory of wave-particle duality was postulated to support the idea that all particles have a wave-like nature and vice versa. I find this applicable to the review scenario. Legitimate reviews can come along one-by-one, but it's easy to think of lots of instances in which they could legitimately come in waves.
Honestly, what Newton and Huygens think, what you, and what I think isn't really this issue here. The issue depends on what Google is thinking and how their thoughts are going to directly affect your business' ability to hang onto the reviews you get. Right now, Google is indicating that they have become suspicious of waves. Good to know.
So, if you've taken step one of reporting your lost reviews on the Google thread linked to above, here's an interesting second step to take. I recommend reading Joy Hawkins' article on avoiding the review filter. Joy is careful to note that her test is small and that she is only sharing a theory, but that the usage of a mobile device when leaving a review apparently enabled Joy to get two formerly 'lost' reviews to appear. It would be great if some of the Local SEOs reading this article could take this ball and run a little further with it, creating a larger test. Can your clients solicit reviews that 'stick' by utilizing a mobile device for the transaction? I'd love to know!
For my third resource, I will again cite a Mike Blumenthal post (which he's actually published and then re-published because of the recent upsurge in lost reviews): What Should You Tell A Client When Google Loses Their Reviews- A 4 Part Plan. Two things are especially noteworthy in this post: 1) a warning to the auto industry that they are under keen scrutiny right now for heavy spamming, and 2) encouragement to copy any reviews that you do receive. In case they disappear in future, you'll have a copy and can post the 'lost' review to your website as a testimonial, salvaging at least some of the power you have to share with others your good name in your community.
My personal position in all this is one of empathy. I know you work hard for your reviews. More importantly, I know how hard you work to run a business that offers such excellent service that you generate good feelings amongst your customers. It's a genuine loss when documentation of your satisfaction rate vanishes through no fault of your own.
I understand that it can be hard for Google (or anyone) to tell whether a review is legitimately earned, or if money has changed hands in exchange for a positive false review, but I encourage Google to treat this issue with the seriousness it deserves. Every day, countless business owners are spending their valuable time trying to educate themselves about the Google system that has so much power over the fate of their businesses. They are taking this very seriously, and most are trying to play by the rules. This effort should be rewarded with transparency and fair treatment, and it's totally up to Google to provide this, since they are calling the shots.
If you've recently lost reviews, post the details in the Google and Your Business Forum thread linked to in this post.

In Sum

  • Be aware that Google appears to have become suspicious of waves of reviews. Getting reviews slowly may be good insurance against loss.
  • It's always been a best practice to diversify in your review gathering efforts. If you let your customers pick their favorite review platform rather than guiding them towards Google, you will end up with a more diverse profile. If this means reviews come to you through Google more slowly, it appears that this may actually be a good thing.
  • You might like to try soliciting reviews on mobile devices, per Joy Hawkins' experiment, to see if they 'stick.'
  • Know that you're not alone. Lots of businesses are experiencing lost reviews now, and if you're in the auto dealership industry, there appears to be heavy scrutiny going on.
  • Create a document on your computer to save any review you see come in. If it disappears tomorrow, you can still get some leverage out if by using the saved copy as a testimonial on your website.
I hope this article has empowered you to proactively participate in this issue and has brought you up-to-date on the latest news on this front. Leave your comments or other advice below!

Best Tools to Summarize Twitter Hashtags


Best Tools to Summarize Twitter Hashtags

Using Twitter for professional purposes has become common since the introduction of hashtags. Thanks to these modern marvels, it is easier than ever to draw traffic, catch the attention of a target audience,follow trends and manage reputation. For many bloggers, online business owners and marketing experts, it is becoming second nature.
The easiest way to utilize Twitter to its greatest potential is through monitoring hashtags – which means getting a full summery of data that explains how they are being used. This is such a big part of applying Twitter as a professional tool today that endless programs have been created to help you do it.
Whether it is seeing the analytics of a hashtag, or just finding out which ones are used most often, these ten tools will help you do it.

1. Twazzup

Twazzup
The real-time nature of Twitter makes it a great option for finding updates o trending news topics. Twazzup allows you to put in a hashtag, and it will show you tweets going on right now that contain it. They also show highlights from around the web, news stories from different sites and the community influencers who are helping the hashtag trend. Below that you will find related keywords and hashtags, and accounts where the story has been posted.

2. Tweetchat

Tweetchat
This one is a perfect minimal tool for participating in Twitter chats. Just log in, put the hashtag in you wish to follow, and it will create a chatroom interface where you can speak to others on the hashtag in real time. This has become a big hit with bloggers, who host tweetups or tweetchats with readers. But it also gives you an idea of what people are saying at the exact moment, with constant updates.

3. Tweet Grid

Tweet Grid
For those who need a platform that allows them to see multiple hashtags in real time, without confusion, this is perfect. It works by allowing you to search up to nine different hashtags, events, topics, keywords or people at a time. It then creates a grid that updates with live feed. There are different format options ranging from a single window to 3×3 boxes to monitor it all from your browser. It simplifies the process and makes it easy to watch multiple topics at one time.

4. Hootsuite

Hootsuite
The most popular social media dashboard around, Hootsuite offers Twapper Keeper as one of their on-board features. It creates a searchable archive with any username, hashtag or keyword. This is then built into the overall analytics data that the social media dashboard is known for. As an added benefit, it is also compatible with Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Myspace, FourSquare, Mixi, WordPress and various apps.

5. Tweetdeck

Tweetdeck
Follow hashtags, get data on keyword use, monitor accounts, follow users and organize your Twitter with this social media dashboard. Not compatible with different social networks, it is less popular with those who use multiple media sites. However, it s a big hit with Twitter specific users looking for a good data generator. You can also schedule tweets, get alerts on hashtags and filter data.

6. What The Trend?

What The Trend?
Originally called 'What The Hashtag?', this is a dictionary of live-updating information on trending hashtags. Users add the trending keyword, and then people from all over the world weigh in on why it has become popular or had an impact on the web. It is easy to search for trends and establish which will be trending for a longer period, and which are flashes in the pan. The best feature is probably the Reports section. It shows you the top Twitter trends, how they ranked, when they first appeared and how long they lasted over the past 30 days.

7. Hashtracking

Hashtracking
Get a free report on any Twitter hashtag, or use their extended services. This website tracks different hashtags to find out what is trending, and what power each one has. You will find full analytics, impressions and reach and customized information done on your behalf. However, right now it is in closed beta. To get on their user list, you have to email their administrator.

8. Twitterfall

Twitterfall
With a link expander, Twitlonger and Qrait support, trend information, hashtag search and monitoring and a unique interface that causes new tweets to "fall" onto the page, this is a great service. If you want more specific information on a user, just hover over the username and it will be provided. Otherwise, you get a quick look at what is going on with any given hashtag or keyword.

9. Monitter

Monitter
Are you less interested in a global search and need something specified to a single location? This tool allows you to monitor keywords and hashtags, but filter searches so it offers only data based on geological parameters. You can add several columns at once, for a total of three running alongside one another for multiple monitoring or data comparison.

10. Archivist

Archivist
For visual learners that want graphics with their data, there is the Archivist. It is an archive that can be searched for information on a specific hashtag or keyword. Then you have it made into a pie chart, bar graph or any other graphic you would prefer. Keep in mind that their access to data is limited. Recent information is provided, but they don't have data running all the way back. It is not a fully historic collection on info on the term. According to them, there should be an archive of, at most, the last 500 tweets.
