Search Engine Optimization – Google
In the Internet world, we hear a lot about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and backlinks. If you want Google, Bing, and Yahoo! to notice your site, you must take steps to make them. Part of that process is getting links to your site from other sites. The more sites that mention yours and link into it, the higher it goes in the search engine rankings.

You Scratch My Back, I Click Your Site
Most people with any knowledge of the Internet understand that Search Engine Optimization is an important component of a successful website. SEO allows your site to show up high in Google, Bing, Yahoo!, or any of the popular search engines. Once your site is there, you need one more tug to pull in your visitors. You don’t have the luxury of airing an ad ten times. You have to create multiple impressions for your website the very first time they search what you have to offer.

The official start date for your startup is the date you incorporate the business. This is obviously important for tax purposes, but may also dramatically influence how potential investors, customers, and competitors look at you. My rule of thumb expectation is that it should take two months to set up the legal entity, six months to finalize the business plan, and by the end of the first year have a prototype product ready for customers. At this point every potential investor will listen. Timelines which vary dramatically from these will be questioned, and need to have good explanations. For time and effort considerations, I tell clients that a sole proprietorship or partnership is the simplest setup, because it basically requires no legal forms. Incorporation as an LLC, a C-Corp or an S-Corp is more complex, but has the great legal advantage of limiting liability to the entity, away from personal assets. A C-Corp is the most complex, and is recommended when you need multiple classes of stock, expect venture investments, or have over 100 shareholders. But even this one can be done in a month in most states

Working in financial services recruitment, one of the key outsourced functions with the FS industry we are seeing an uplift in the beginning of 2010 that absolutely wasn’t there in the latter half of 2009. Recruitment is usually the first thing to take a hit in any economic difficulty and although we are now seeing a lift we still haver to get over the stigma that often chaeper isn’t the best. It sometimes pays to perhaos outlay a little bit more at the beginning to acheive a more time and cost effective outcome overall. I think this is the same in any Financial services facet whether document solutions or financial services recruitment

It has only been a little over a decade when Indian outsourcing leaders were resonating pitches trying to sell India as a destination for outsourcing to the ‘Anglo’ nations. The sceptical yet risk taking multinational corporations were blazing with questions ranging from ‘Does India have any English speaking population at all? To questions like ‘Do people come to work on elephants’.

One of the things that frustrates people the most is when they don’t understand why they’re not getting the Google rankings they think they deserve. “I’m doing everything right and my competitors aren’t. How come they are above me on Google?” In this post I’ll show you how I detect the reasons why a website is not ranking at the top and figure out what I need to do to change that. Step 1: Check for Duplicate Content Duplicate content can hurt your site a lot. There are four kinds of duplicate content: External duplicate content : this is when the same content is posted on your site and some other website. Contrary to popular belief, this kind of duplicate content doesn’t affect your rankings. Think about it: if it did, your competitors could easily get you penalized by making several copies of your site and putting them online. Internal duplicate content : this could really hurt your site. Look for several versions of the same content

It looks like the co-founder of IDEO, the pioneer in interraction design (like he pioneered the discipline), the guy who designed the first laptop (in the Museum of Modern Art), the greatest person to share a walk in a gallery with, the most helpful person, the tallest designer ever (OK, after Fred Dust)–THAT guy, Bill Moggridge is going to be the next head of the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. I first heard about it at the wake for ID magazine in NYC last night and people are buzzing with the news this morning. It’s a masterful choice– a real designer to head the country’s national design museum. Here’s the NYT’s on the announcement . But I tweeted it first last night. Hah.

It’s the time of year again where Christmas-addled sourcing professionals come up with their predictions for the coming 12 months. As predicted, predictably, the sourcing industry’s would-be fortune tellers have been busy, with tens and twenties of forward thinking releases hitting the NOA’s newsdesks in the last week. Add our own member’s predictions to the pile and it makes some interesting reading. Without further ado I thought it best to give a quick rundown of the most promising predictions.

I’m a big fan of Hello Health , which provides a new social media platform for delivering health care in Brooklyn and its founder Jay Parkinson. Jay has recently launched a health innovation consulting firm and a blog . In one item, he criticizes the health care reform package moving through Congress as. basically, an atavistic antique. It solidifies corporate control over individual health care rather than empower people to design their own. I totally agree. Here is what Jay says about the structure of Hello Health. It’s a Gen Y, social media approach to getting health care. “I started a practice in NYC on September 24, 2007: patients would visit my website see my Google calendar choose a time and input their symptoms my iphone would alert me I would make a house call they’d pay me via paypal we’d follow up by email, IM, or videochat This concept became Hello Health via a partnership with Myca so other doctors could practice this way. Hello Health is a mixture of secure social network and electronic medical record that enables doctors and patients to connect both in their office and online via email, IM, and video chat.” Does this sound good to you, as it does to me
