What You Need to Know
Scattering is the deflection or the spreading out of light as it passes through material.
How Does Scattering Work?
Scattering is different from refraction. Refracted light is deflected in only one direction. Scattering means the light is deflected in all directions. Scattering happens when light energy is absorbed by a particle or a molecule and causes the electrons to be more energized. When the electrons release this extra energy it is in the form of light energy. The released light energy is scattered. Selective scattering occurs when certain particles are more effective at scattering a particular wavelength of light. If particles are small, short-wavelength light is scattered more than long-wavelength light.
What Does This Have to Do with Demonstrating the Scattering of Light?
Some particles and molecules found in the atmosphere have the ability to scatter sunlight. Air molecules, like oxygen and nitrogen, for example, are small in size and thus more effective at scattering shorter wavelengths of light than are large molecules. The shortest wavelengths of visible light are the colors blue and violet. The scattering of sunlight by air molecules is responsible for producing blue skies. The diagram shows the scattering of blue light in all directions by oxygen molecules.
Real-Life Science Challenge
Light passing from space through Earth's atmosphere is scattered. Because this light is scattered, it is difficult for scientists using telescopes on Earth to see objects in space. The primary reason for placing the Hubble space telescope in orbit around Earth was to eliminate this undesirable effect of Earth's atmosphere.
Now, start experimenting with light scattering.
- A penlight or other light with a narrow light beam works best as a light source.
- Investigate Raleigh Scattering experiments, then design a liquid solution to simulate particles in air. Try using small drops of milk or dishwashing soap in water.
- Design a way to create a screen to observe the color of light that is not scattered but passes through the solution.
Fun Fact
Over the ocean, the scattering of light by salt particles suspended in the air causes brilliant red sunsets. The color is most intense when the sun is closest to the ocean surface because the light passes through more air, and more of the shorter wavelengths are scattered. Red has the longest wavelength so it is not scattered, and more of the red light reaches your eye.

Apple named "most innovative" company three years running
Global management consulting firm Booz & Co. named Apple the world's most innovative company for the third year in a row. The report notes that Apple spent less than its rivals on R&D and still trumped companies like Amazon, Google and IBM because of how it invested its money.
...it is not how much companies spend on research and development that determines success - what really matters is how those R&D funds are invested in talent, process and tools.
Apple kept its top spot over #2 Google and #3 3M, both of which also defended their spots successfully for the third year in a row. One of the biggest movers was Apple rival Samsung, which climbed from #9 in 2010 to #7 in 2011 and finally to #4 this year.

Ballack back to boost Blues
15 Sep 2008 - 10:08:25
Germany international Michael Ballack should be able to return to action for Chelsea in Tuesday's Champions League game against Bordeaux after being sidelined for the last three weeks with a foot injury.
The 31-year-old midfielder has only featured in two games so far this season - the last being the narrow 1-0 victory at Wigan Athletic.
"He will play but I do not know whether it will be for 45 minutes, 60 or 70," confirmed Blues boss Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Didier Drogba could be handed a start after coming on as a late substitute in Saturday's 3-1 win at Manchester City.
The 30-year-old Ivory Coast international had not played since the Champions League Final defeat to Manchester United in May.
Meanwhile, Frank Lampard expects Chelsea to get better as the season goes on after finding the net in the success at Eastlands.
The former West Ham United star said: "We've started the season very well and we'll get better. We have new players and we have players coming back from injury, so we need to grow and we are at the moment.
"It's great to have Didier back. He's the best striker in the world for me and, as he gets 100 per cent fit, he'll get better.
"I love playing with Deco. I knew how much of a great player he was before he came here, and he's showing it at the start of the season.
"Not many players can adapt straight away and he's brought something new to the team, which is brilliant."

Recovery of RAID and LVM2 Volumes
To recover, the first thing to do is to move the drive to another machine. You can do this pretty easily by putting the drive in a USB2 hard drive enclosure. It then will show up as a SCSI hard disk device, for example, /dev/sda, when you plug it in to your recovery computer. This reduces the risk of damaging the recovery machine while attempting to install the hardware from the original computer.
The challenge then is to get the RAID setup recognized and to gain access to the logical volumes within. You can use sfdisk -l /dev/sda to check that the partitions on the old drive are still there.
To get the RAID setup recognized, use mdadm to scan the devices for their raid volume UUID signatures, as shown in Listing 3.
Listing 3. Scanning a Disk for RAID Array Members
[root@recoverybox ~]# mdadm --examine --scan /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid1 num-devices=2 ↪UUID=532502de:90e44fb0:242f485f:f02a2565 devices=/dev/sda3 ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 ↪UUID=75fa22aa:9a11bcad:b42ed14a:b5f8da3c devices=/dev/sda2 ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 ↪UUID=b3cd99e7:d02be486:b0ea429a:e18ccf65 devices=/dev/sda1
This format is very close to the format of the /etc/mdadm.conf file that the mdadm tool uses. You need to redirect the output of mdadm to a file, join the device lines onto the ARRAY lines and put in a nonexistent second device to get a RAID1 configuration. Viewing the the md array in degraded mode will allow data recovery:
[root@recoverybox ~]# mdadm --examine --scan /dev/sda1 ↪/dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 >> /etc/mdadm.conf [root@recoverybox ~]# vi /etc/mdadm.conf
Edit /etc/mdadm.conf so that the devices statements are on the same lines as the ARRAY statements, as they are in Listing 4. Add the "missing" device to the devices entry for each array member to fill out the raid1 complement of two devices per array. Don't forget to renumber the md entries if the recovery computer already has md devices and ARRAY statements in /etc/mdadm.conf.
Listing 4. /etc/mdadm.conf
DEVICE partitions ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 ↪UUID=b3cd99e7:d02be486:b0ea429a:e18ccf65 ↪devices=/dev/sda1,missing ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 ↪UUID=75fa22aa:9a11bcad:b42ed14a:b5f8da3c ↪devices=/dev/sda2,missing ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid1 num-devices=2 ↪UUID=532502de:90e44fb0:242f485f:f02a2565 ↪devices=/dev/sda3,missing
Then, activate the new md devices with mdadm -A -s, and check /proc/mdstat to verify that the RAID array is active. Listing 5 shows how the raid array should look.
Listing 5. Reactivating the RAID Array
[root@recoverybox ~]# mdadm -A -s [root@recoverybox ~]# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md2 : active raid1 sda3[1] 77521536 blocks [2/1] [_U] md1 : active raid1 sda2[1] 522048 blocks [2/1] [_U] md0 : active raid1 sda1[1] 104320 blocks [2/1] [_U] unused devices: <none>
If md devices show up in /proc/mdstat, all is well, and you can move on to getting the LVM volumes mounted again.
The next hurdle is that the system now will have two sets of lvm2 disks with VolGroup00 in them. Typically, the vgchange -a -y command would allow LVM2 to recognize a new volume group. That won't work if devices containing identical volume group names are present, though. Issuing vgchange -a y will report that VolGroup00 is inconsistent, and the VolGroup00 on the RAID device will be invisible. To fix this, you need to rename the volume group that you are about to mount on the system by hand-editing its lvm configuration file.
If you made a backup of the files in /etc on raidbox, you can edit a copy of the file /etc/lvm/backup/VolGroup00, so that it reads VolGroup01 or RestoreVG or whatever you want it to be named on the system you are going to restore under, making sure to edit the file itself to rename the volume group in the file.
If you don't have a backup, you can re-create the equivalent of an LVM2 backup file by examining the LVM2 header on the disk and editing out the binary stuff. LVM2 typically keeps copies of the metadata configuration at the beginning of the disk, in the first 255 sectors following the partition table in sector 1 of the disk. See /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and man lvm.conf for more details. Because each disk sector is typically 512 bytes, reading this area will yield a 128KB file. LVM2 may have stored several different text representations of the LVM2 configuration stored on the partition itself in the first 128KB. Extract these to an ordinary file as follows, then edit the file:
dd if=/dev/md2 bs=512 count=255 skip=1 of=/tmp/md2-raw-start vi /tmp/md2-raw-start
You will see some binary gibberish, but look for the bits of plain text. LVM treats this metadata area as a ring buffer, so there may be multiple configuration entries on the disk. On my disk, the first entry had only the details for the physical volume and volume group, and the next entry had the logical volume information. Look for the block of text with the most recent timestamp, and edit out everything except the block of plain text that contains LVM declarations. This has the volume group declarations that include logical volumes information. Fix up physical device declarations if needed. If in doubt, look at the existing /etc/lvm/backup/VolGroup00 file to see what is there. On disk, the text entries are not as nicely formatted and are in a different order than in the normal backup file, but they will do. Save the trimmed configuration as VolGroup01. This file should then look like Listing 6.
Count another life saved. In spite of destroying one HD out of a two HD LVM set, we still recovered some data thanks to these tips. Not too shabby.
Alternate recovery method
In my situation I did not have any explicit RAID arrays. I just had the standard RedHat FC5 configuration of a single VolGroup00 volume group with two logical volumes. I pulled that 20GB drive from my system recently and installed a 320GB drive in its place and reinstalled FC5. Because this new drive had the same VolGroup00 volume group created, I could not mount the 20 GB drive I had in a USB enclosure.
It seemed that most of this article was aimed at teasing out the lvm metadata and rewriting it to affect a volume group name change. Since all of the lvm tools require that you address the volume groups on your physical drives by their name, you enconter the naming conflict (how hard would it have been to include a rename command that took a physical path and renamed the volume there?).
Rather than fight that battle, I booted off my FC5 rescue CD (or any bootable tools CD with the LVM tools on it) and did a:
vgrename VolGroup00 Seagate320
The naming conflict didn't really matter here it seems. It just renamed whatever VolGroup00 it found first, which happened to be my new 320 G drive. I could then activate both with:
vgchange -ay
and then mount the volumes and copy, etc.
Nice recovery method
This looks like a much simpler way to do things, as long as you are not dealing with software RAID.
One thing you'd need to be careful about is making sure that you leave the new VolGroup00 named VolGroup00 at the end of the recovery process.
I suspect that using vgrename / vgscan / vgchange in combination would allow you to rename both volume groups to something else, then rename the newest VolGroup00 back to VolGroup00, so that the system would continue to work on boot.
You could probably use the same technique after you recovered the RAID configuration, and avoid the messy surgery on raw disk information. Next time I encounter this issue, I'll give that a try.
With my distro (Ubuntu), and
With my distro (Ubuntu), and I suspect many others these days, drives are actually mounted by UUID, not by device name *or* by VG/LV name. So renaming the VG, even the one containing root, should *) not be a problem.
What I did to recover with a RAID1/LVM stack which blew one of the drives, was boot the ubuntu desktop liveCD, sudo apt-get install mdadm lvm2, mdadm --assemble /dev/mdX (be careful of raid devnames that occur in multiples -- ie run this on recoveryPC with old_drives, and disconnected recoveryPC_drives -- but it will simply scan the drives attached for appropriate partitions), then the lvm stuff will simply magically appear and you can vgrename easily if necessary. Once you've done that, connect all the drives and reboot, and after the mdadm.conf magic you will have all your data.
Incidentally, on my home server, raid1 OS disks, Raid5 storage disks, and LVM over the top, hell yeah that makes sense. On my desktop, not so much.
* Yeah. I haven't tested this explicitly.
This worked great for me. Thanks for putting it together!
Doesn't quite work for me
I just ran into a similar problem attempting to move a disk from one machine to another, with both disks configured as VolGroup00. I worked through your example, but when it came to restoring VolGroup01 (Listing 6), vgcfgrestore refused claiming it couldn't find a contents line. In my dump, there are 5 additional header lines before the VolGroup01 { line, which vgcfgrestore requires.
After I figured this out and restored the volume group, I could not get any logical volumes to show up. lvscan did not pick up the three logical volumes on the volume group! Those were also in the dd extracted file, so I had to add all of that back into the config file and do another vgcfgrestore, vgactivate.
This is really disconcerting, as this is likely to be a common problem. Unfortunately it seems that LVM is NOT the way to go for the typical workstation, unless someone really needs the ability to resize a volume.
Correction to Listing 6
It appears that Listing 6 got truncated somewhere along the line before publication.
The full Listing 6 should be:

You should be able to do that without any problems, as long as you explicitly keep the UUID signature in the renamed device line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Percussionists drum up interest among orchestra fans
A few composers are seeing new possibilities for percussion concertos. At least four such pieces are scheduled in the US over the next month.
courtesy of James Wilson/eg images
Theatricality is a basic aim of John Corigliano's music. He once wrote a flute concerto inspired by the Pied Piper legend in which the flutist leads a chorus of children off the stage, and a violin concerto based on the film "The Red Violin." But a request a few years ago for a percussion concerto left him stumped. "All I could see were problems," says the Pulitzer Prize winner.
Corigliano says that while he loves to feature the percussion section in his symphonies, he feels that percussion concertos sound "like orchestral pieces with an extra-large percussion section." The soloist is incapable of playing a real melody and his or her identity is lost amid the myriad bangs, crashes, and splashes of the percussion arsenal.
Nevertheless, a consortium of six orchestras had commissioned the composer to write a piece for Evelyn Glennie, the formidable Scottish percussionist. After considering his options, Corigliano decided to focus on melodic instruments such as the vibraphone and chimes, and an orchestra pared down to strings alone.
Glennie will première the concerto, called "TriplePlay," with the Pittsburgh Symphony on Feb. 21. It is one of four – count 'em, four – major percussion concertos being performed in the United States over the next month. The others are by Jennifer Higdon, Steven Mackey, and Kevin Puts, all highly respected composers who have come to the medium quite recently.

Shopkick, the location-based shopping app that rewards shoppers for walking into stores and interacting with products, recently announced that it helped drive more than $110 million in in-store revenue for partner retailers and brands in 2011. It was Shopkick's first full year operating the app, the company said.
Shopkick partners with hundreds of products across dozens of brands, 11 national retailers and several entertainment entities.
With more than 3 million active users, the model clearly serves the customer need, without relying on practices that undermine retailers, Cyriac Roeding, CEO of shopkick, said in the release.
"Some mobile services drive people out of stores, not into stores, with online comparison shopping that turn stores into 'showrooms.' Shopkick does the opposite," Roeding said. "Shopkick drives people into stores by rewarding them with things they love just for visiting. That helped drive $110 million in revenue with shopkick partners – last year alone. It's a win-win-win between retailers, brands and consumers."

Aghanistan's Karzai back to antagonizing the US and attacking free speech
(Read article summary)And why not? It's not as though his public statements cost him anything.
The so-called "fighting season" is over and an Afghan leader's fancy can turn to antagonizing his American patrons for amusement over the cold winter months.
Sure, NATO soldiers, the bulk of them Americans, will be fighting and dying to protect his government in Kabul even as winter embraces Afghanistan, but President Hamid Karzai will probably get even more latitude than normal for airing his views. This is among his favorite times of year to lash out at the Western powers who have given so much so that he can lead Afghanistan. Last October, he said Afghanistan would back Pakistan if the US ever ended up going to war with Afghanistan's neighbor. In April 2010, he sought to blame the UN and the EU for Afghanistan electoral fraud.
This time, Mr. Karzai is unhappy about the International Crisis Group, probably the world's leading think tank when it comes to unbiased, factual reporting on conflict (full disclosure; I briefly worked on contract for ICG 12 years ago helping to write a report on religious wars in eastern Indonesia). The Brussels-based research organization receives much of its funding from the European Union and the US, but has established a reputation for independent analysis in its 17 years of work.

MERCHANT, Guy (2004). Imagine All that Stuff Really Happening: narrative and identity in children's on-screen writing. E-Learning, 1 (3), p. 341.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In the world of work and in the social lives of many, new technology plays an important role in establishing and maintaining relationships and exchanging information. The school system varies in its response to this new technology and particularly to the popular communication of email and mobile phone users. In schools and classrooms, policies, practices and pupil cultures influence how on-screen writing is seen and used (Holloway & Valentine, 2003). Drawing on data from a series of school-based projects which have involved the use of interactive email, this article explores the relationship between narrative and identity in children's on-screen writing. Using archived emails, and story fragments, the article shows how children borrow and transform the writing practices and voices of others. The study illustrates how children draw on popular culture texts and blend them with classroom material to produce hybrid narratives. Children's agency is an important aspect of this work, which shows that, despite the institutional constraints of time and space, access to new technology can promote innovation and creativity.

1. Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Version Information
Related bugreports: #179583
An integer overflow vulnerability has been reported in file allowing for the user-assisted execution of arbitrary code.
2. Impact Information
file is a utility that guesses a file format by scanning binary data for patterns.
Colin Percival from FreeBSD reported that the previous fix for the file_printf() buffer overflow introduced a new integer overflow.
A remote attacker could entice a user to run the file program on an overly large file (more than 1Gb) that would trigger an integer overflow on 32-bit systems, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running file.
3. Resolution Information
There is no known workaround at this time.
Since file is a system package, all Gentoo users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/file-4.21"

Security studies of the 21st century have been besieged by discourses on terrorism. Thousands of books, millions of articles, terabits of sound-bytes as also billions of dollars and thousands of precious lives have been expended with little respite from terrorism. It is in this stream that this compendium, Fighting Back, comes from Centre for Civil-Military Relations at the US Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey (California). Since 9/11, they have held series of outreach seminars on 'Civil-Military Responses to Terrorism' involving participants from 130 affected countries. It is with this vast experience that editor Paul Shemella and his team of seasoned experts have attempted creating a users' manual for terrorism impacted countries. Prima facie, this seems far too ambitious a promise yet they do make several interesting points.
At the very outset, Paul Shemella underlines that terrorists remain far ahead of most governments. States, he says, must locate their war on terror as a political contest and focus on the 'root causes' that create the fertile ground for terrorism. Success in fighting terrorism hinges on discrediting their ideas, not in killing or jailing terrorists. Thomas Mockaitis, the well-known author of Bin Laden's biography, sees terror as a weapon since antiquity except that its oldest practitioners were not clandestine groups but states. This explains why the five permanent members of the UN Security Council continue to impede all efforts at defining terrorism, especially any inclusion of State terrorism or categorising drones or cluster bombs as terror weapons.
Meanwhile, terrorists have given up the conventional hierarchical organisation style and become horizontal networks. This makes terrorists groups immune to conventional state strategies of decapitation or conventional warfighting. But Phil Williams, professor in the University of Pittsburg, contests this popular myth and highlights how centralised information processing, monitoring, formal training, institutional memory procure for State efficiency and potency against loosely tied terrorist networks. The bigger problem for him lies in transnational terrorist networks — distributed across multiple jurisdictions that lack coordination.
Hype versus truth
Edward Hoffer examines chances of terrorism using weapons of mass destruction (WMD) which has been the refrain of Nuclear Security Summits with third one taking place at The Hague recently (24-25 March). He believes their use by terrorists will be 'either highly unlikely or in most instances less deadly than the effect that terrorists could achieve by using conventional explosives.' Timothy Doorey addresses the question of cyber terrorism delivering an equally dangerous hit. Internet, he believes, provides terrorists global command and control with minimal costs and risk and will continue to thwart all counter terrorism strategies. Writing on maritime terrorism, Peter Chalk draws attention to two-thirds of Earth's surface, the 'high-seas' being beyond jurisdiction of any State. However, attacks here bring little publicity. Modern day luxury cruise liners — symbols of Western wealth — can be attractive targets but it is passenger ferries that remain vulnerable as they prioritise efficiency and volumes over safety and security. Potentially maritime terrorism can explode oil tankers or detonate a radiological devises on containerships at ports or at choke points which can deliver a crippling blow to global trading.
Phil Williams examines the issue of terrorist finances. This was not even an issue till 9/11 but now the West calls it the 'lifeblood' of terrorism and the 'War on Terrorism' had sought to chock its flow. The UNSC resolution 1373 in late September 2001 obligated all states to prevent financing of terrorism followed by G7 expanding the writ of its Financial Action Task Force to cover terrorist finances. Yet dozens of states remain deficient in combating terrorist financing. This becomes complicated as, with the end of the cold war, state funding for terrorism has witnessed a sharp decline. Terrorists now depend on their unknown sympathisers or crime. Terrorists also double up or infiltrate respected charities. Terrorists use informal systems like hawala networks or intra-organisation transfers like charity sending money to its branches.
Consequence management
The biggest hurdle in countering terrorism remains interagency competition. Information travels only vertically with little horizontal coordination. This calls for unity of effort within government but also unity of efforts amongst governments. But again the first hurdle is that governments have different definitions and most do not consider terrorism as a threat until they fall victim to it. Edward Hoffer believes planners must focus on effective and efficient consequence-management to deal with aftermath of terrorist strikes. He cites the 2005 London subway bombing as an excellent example of calm and quick restoration of citizen's confidence. He posits the 2008 Mumbai attacks as example of 'confused and uncoordinated consequence-management' that undermined faith in local and national authorities.
Thomas Mokaitis potrays the 2008 Mumbai attacks as unique where ten men, tacitly supported by Pakistani security forces, carried out a devastating attack killing 173 and wounding over 300 people; not only holding the city hostage for over 60 hours but derailing Indo-Pakistan peace talks. 'Seldom' he says, 'has a single terrorist attack by so few accomplished so much.' Just two terrorists freely enter Victoria Terminus station and continue shooting for about 90 minutes, almost unimpeded. Lack of information management results in journalists wandering in the streets broadcasting chaos to the whole world and the government also helps terrorists by announcing deployment details of its elite National Security Guard. All this, in spite of having had advance intelligence inputs from the U.S. of an imminent attack on the city and Indian intelligence having intercepted a phone call indicating that a ship carrying terrorists had left Karachi and was in position fifty miles from Mumbai.
Even in the developed Europe, Phil Williams explains how the 2004 Madrid bombing came as an enormous surprise. The impact was accentuated by the Spanish government losing elections three days later and the new government withdrawing forces from Iraq. The riddle lay in its multifaceted radicalisation i.e. group members were radicalised at different times and places and in different ways leaving little trace of their network in-the-making. Lawrence Cline shows how the U.S. botched-up operation in Somalia in October 1993 killing 18 U.S. soldiers leading President Clinton withdrawing forces immediately. Paul though ducks the real reason: this sudden withdrawal was triggered by widely publicised angry Somali mobs dragging these dead Americans through the streets of Mogadishu. Otherwise, the U.S. has lost thousands of men in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and yet it continues to fight.
In the end, most contributors to this book believe terrorism will never be defeated completely so success against terrorism must be measured in terms of how effectively governments can reduce violence and promote a climate of security. Paul Shemella prescribes regular measuring of effectiveness of anti-terrorism strategies. Such auditing protects governments from going too far down the path of catastrophe. But both these prescriptions perhaps cast doubts on the very efficacy of writing such users' guide unless one intends to not only revise it on regular basis but also contextualise it.

Business Owners' Biggest Mistake? Hanging Up on Smartphone Customers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Now more than ever, consumers are searching for their dentist, plumber, mechanic and other service-based businesses online and, more importantly, via smartphones or tablets.
Yet 93% of small-business websites are incompatible for mobile devices, according to research conducted earlier this year by vSplash and BIA/Kelsey.
According to a recent Google study, 67% of people said a mobile-friendly website makes them more likely to buy a product or use a service. Additionally, 61% said that if they don't see what they're looking for on a mobile site, they'll quickly move on. The survey polled 1,088 U.S. adult smartphone Internet users in July 2012.
Small businesses could be missing out on crucial opportunities to connect with customers if they resist allocating resources online toward mobile optimization and to get high placement in Google (GOOG) search rankings. Small businesses can vastly increase their Web and mobile presence by implementing a few easy changes.
>>>The Time is Now for Mobile Payments>>>8 Ways to Boost Your eBay and Online Sales The first look customers give to a business online is the domain name, which should reflect the business name or be keyword-rich, says domain name and Web-hosting company, Go Daddy. It also should be short, memorable, easy to use and have commercial appeal, Go Daddy says. The website design itself should be simple, carry current content and be easy to navigate. Including direct language, such as a call to action, will increase customer conversions up to 100%, Go Daddy says. Beyond that, online marketing consultant Yodle emphasizes the need for a business to have a website that is well-designed to convert to a mobile site, a page on Google+ and a Facebook (FB) page, at a minimum. "The most important thing -- it's kind of like the lottery -- you have to play to win," says Yodle CEO Court Cunningham. "You have to show up online for people to find you. A third of the companies we talk to don't have a website, they're not showing up in Google Maps and over 90% don't have a mobile website." Yodle has about 30,000 small-business customers, mainly in the service industry or those with mobile-based businesses. Half of a small business' marketing budget should be allocated toward Google paid search, Yodle says. (Yodle announced in September that it became a part of the Google AdWords Premier SMB Partner Program, which connects Google partners with small and medium-sized businesses that need assistance in creating, managing and optimizing their online advertising campaigns. Google is using this program as a way to collect feedback on its tools to further improve performance. By being a partner, Yodle can gleam insight into how small-business customers can use Google more efficiently.) Small businesses should also "claim their listing" on Google Maps, Cunningham says. "It isn't that hard. Go to Google+ or Google Maps, search for the business name and ... claim that listing. They will confirm
So, to recap:
- Choose a domain name that reflects your business name or is keyword-rich;
- Understand where your business should show up online;
- Claim your business on Google Maps;
- Make sure your website is mobile-ready;
- Invest in paid search, the fastest way to appear on the first page of Google.
