When we met Ricky and Brittany we were instantly smitten with them. They are both so smart and beyond sweet together and their wedding was sure to be a dream! When we arrived Brittany was getting Brittany's hair and makeup wrapped up(yes there were three of us that day ;)) and the energy in the room was so calm and excited! Everyone there made us feel like family and being a part of such a warm group of folks just gave us all the feels! I don't think I could possibly choose a favorite moment of the day but the one of the best was when they turned to their loved ones, finally husband and wife and had those once in a lifetime smiles. I cried…pretty sure Ben cried and I know everyone else whooped like only Aggies can! HUGE thanks to the amazing team that made this day possible, Meredith at Significant Events, Lush Couture and Brittany Jones hair and makeup! Luekings, we love ya!
Sam and Josh were married Saturday and y'all it was SO much fun! We just loved their families and being a part of such a fun group! The rain held off for us and it was a magical day. Cannot wait to share them next week! Until then here are a few of her bridal session at the Cotton Mill! Just for future reference, when it's rainy on the outside…it tends to rain on the inside there. Ha! Thanks for being so amazing and modeling even during the icepocolypse! Huge thanks to Wedfully Yours for the amazing bouquet!
This crazy Texas weather tried to keep us from having Kevin and Rachel's engagement session but we lucked out and had a perfect day the second go aroundWe hadn't met Kevin until then and we were so excited to see how sweet they are together! Rachel is a total model and the way he looks at her just gives me all the feels! Cannot wait for their wedding this fall! Just WAIT until you see her dress ah! Enjoy some of our favorites from Cedar Hill!
Meet Ben and Corinne! They're one of the coolest couples ever. When we met with them I totally stalked my email for a week with my fingers and toes crossed. We were so excited when they chose us to be a part of their big day! They'll be married in October and y'all, it's going to be a stunner! Little Grace totes rocked the shoot and modeled every time I pointed a camera at her. LOVED IT! Enjoy some of our faves! Can't wait, guys!
Sometimes people are put in your life and just like that they bring so much joy that you couldn't imagine your life without them. This is totally the case with Jesse and Hazel. Our good friend Jesse of Owl and Tree sent them our way and we were just too pumped to be a part of such an amazing wedding! Jesse loves Hazel like every woman wants to be loved and Hazel has got to be the coolest girl ever. She loves photography, she loves love and most of all she loves that she's finally married to her best friend. To top it all off we got to shoot at one of our new favorite venues! The Brooks at Weatherford is PERFECT, y'all! It's so charming and well executed. Truly a dream to shoot. Enjoy and Happy Tuesday!

HAVE: Allen Plant Swap
The Allen Garden Club along with the Friends of the Allen Public Library are sponsoring a plant and seed swap on Saturday, October 13th at the Allen Public Library in their courtyard. This event is our first city-wide plant swap and we are helping our library celebrate 40 years in Allen. The Allen Garden Club will provide free refreshments and door prizes. Please bring your divisions and cuttings in containers. Iris and daylily plants are okay bareroot as long as they were dug that week. Seeds should be in envelopes or ziplock type of bag and labeled. Please label your plants. Bring empty flats or boxes to carry home your new plants. This is a free event and is a great way to get new plants for your garden.
I'm bringing seeds, flame acanthus, buffalo currant, daylily hybrids, pink yarrow, native passionvine, and more. The other garden club members always have lots of nice plants to share too.
Directions to the Allen Public Library from Highway 75: Exit onto McDermott and go east. Get into the left lane. Turn left on Allen Drive. Go past 4-way stop at Main Street. The library is just about another block down on your right. Parking is in the back and north side. We hope to see you there!
Just bringing this back to the top to remind everyone in the area that the Allen Plant Swap is a week from this Saturday. If you haven't dug your plants yet, start digging this week. I dug up a sweet autumn clematis for the swap the other day and more coreopsis. I'm going to need our truck to haul everything that I've dug for the swap, so I will have plenty to give away to those who are just starting out.
The Allen Plant Swap is this weekend at the Allen Library. Below is a link to the map to the library. The swap starts at 10 am in the courtyard on the north side. We'll have free refreshments and door prizes. You must be present to win a door prize.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Stay off the 'swing' at your child's school
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My wife and I are swingers. We have been with a few couples and a couple of single guys. We met this one local woman on an Internet group and we had exchanged some pictures, but because of my position in the community I never sent my wife's or my face picture. This lovely lady did, however, send hers. We were both interested, as it would be our first experience with a FFM hookup. We were going to meet last Friday, but our plans fell through. Imagine my surprise when we went to a meet the teacher this week and it turns out she is a teacher in my son's school. I obviously never asked her outright if it was her, and the picture she sent to us seemed to be from a couple of years ago, so its not a 100 per cent match. But based on a few details she has sent in our email exchanges, it is most definitely her. How do I break the news to her that we are no longer interested in hooking up? OK, lets be realistic, we are still interested, but obviously do not think its a good idea as it could be perceived as being completely inappropriate. So how do we deal with this? If we tell her outright what the reason is without letting her know who we are, that could cause her some embarrassment knowing at least one parent knows her in that way from that site. We don't want to hurt her feelings and just walk away from the experience with no explanation. -- Wrong Swing, Winnipeg
Dear Wrong Swing: The less said to this teacher, the better. Since she didn't recognize you at "Meet the Teacher" (you only sent her a body shot), you never need to say anything about this. Just back off this threesome for any reason but the truth -- you don't need that secret between you when your child's education is the important thing. If you let her know you recognized her from her swinging ad and photo, it's a way of flirting. Even the line "let's be realistic, we are still interested, if not for our child" would be a sideways flirt. Just tell her the two of you think it's best not to get together at this time, period. You have only sent a body photo, so keep your shirt on at the school, and all should go well.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I really hurt my leg in a particularly gymnastic sexual position gone wrong where we fell, which my wife got out of a one of those books with more than 100 positions. Now when she sees me limping around in my boot, she laughs, or if we're out with friends the other night, she said to her buddies: "Ask him how it happened!" Why is she doing this? I am a shy guy and find it embarrassing. -- Six Months Married, West Kildonan
Dear Six Months: Your new wife is tickled with your exciting sex life, and wants to brag about it to her friends. It's not a smart thing to advertise the goods, but it seems she's young and not aware of that. Warn her that making you out to be a hot shot in bed might get less loyal types interested in you, too. That will slow down the teasing in public.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My heart is broken because my wife is seeing another man in our family -- my second cousin. He looks like me, only ripped because he's in construction. I found out yesterday and I am in terrible shock. It makes sense to me now because he has been coming over here for endless "repairs" on the house. She has redecorated the redecorating in the last two years. What now? She doesn't know I found out. -- Broken Man, St. Boniface
Dear Broken: First you talk to her, and try to listen without yelling or storming out of the house. She is more likely to answer your questions in the beginning when you catch her off guard. She will not answer them once she does some conferring with her friends. It's best to get some relationship counselling to look at the problems in your marriage, even if you are going to part ways in the end. You need to work out some of the anger and betrayal feelings, which are bad for your health if stuffed down and held inside, but it's good to have a referee in the room.

Perhaps the only thing worse than a disaster happening is seeing it coming and knowing nothing can be done to stop it. Businesses along the northeastern seaboard had several days of warning before Hurricane Sandy struck, certainly not enough time to implement a disaster recovery plan from scratch. Even more painful is the understanding that some disaster recovery plans would not be enough; physical backup systems in separate geographical areas may have still suffered the same losses as the home site due to the size of the storm.
Most disasters come with no warning at all. Explosions, power outages, and simple equipment failure can cause the same damage. Operations are down, customers suffer, and revenues tank. Once business recovers the harder work of wooing back customers and convincing new ones about the company's reliability begins.
Simply doubling up infrastructure and creating physical backups is expensive and time-consuming, leading to systems that function inadequately when put into use. Cost cutting means doing without applications and information essential to performance. Lack of testing and differences in tools lead to inefficient work practices during the recovery.
Move into the Cloud
Cloud computing and virtual services eliminate a majority of these concerns. Disaster Recovery as a Service, or DRaaS, is a resource-efficient method of allowing business to continue with little to no interruption. Because everything resides in the cloud, no duplicate infrastructure is needed, testing and upgrades are assured, and no applications or information need be out of commission.
DRaaS is a natural extension of the cloud computing phenomenon. Service providers have hardened their security and created tiered services that fit any budget. Companies are embracing cloud computing for a variety of purposes. The flexibility of such services is a huge driver to adoption since only the services needed are active. The rest can be brought online as desired or shut down during idle time.
IT overhead and infrastructure reductions create cash to fuel growth. Cloud services are the perfect vehicle for the rapidly expanding mobile worker and consumer groups. By taking the time upfront to plan and consider operational requirements, disaster recovery can be the key to successful business recovery.
Service Level Agreement Considerations
The Service Level Agreement (SLA) spells out exactly what will and will not be provided with any cloud service. It is crucial to understand the SLA governing disaster recovery, because a disaster is not the time to discover shortcomings in coverage. Performance and productivity need not suffer if due diligence is taken to make a realistic determination of business continuity needs. Planning wisely also keeps SLA costs to a minimum.
Consider these questions:
- What applications must be included?
- What operations are essential for service?
- What information must be easy to access during this time?
- How often are testing and upgrades performed?
- What guarantee of data integrity is offered?
A good service provider will have the experience to help answer these and other questions. They should have an excellent understanding of the extent of the disaster recovery needed in a variety of industries. Some providers may even specialize in certain verticals, deepening their ability to determine needs and provide suggestions.
DRaaS Benefits Tower over Risk
If nothing else, Hurricane Sandy brought home the absolute worst that could happen. Fire, flood, and power failures on such a massive scale are unprecedented but not impossible. Disaster recovery is an essential part of business continuity that must not be put off. The cost of loss far outweighs the cost of DRaaS because, even if such events are rare, all it takes is once. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said we are seeing 100-year hurricane cycles arrive every two years.
With the knowledge that DRaaS, like all cloud services, is a cost-effective way to relieve the worry of business interruptions, large or small, business owners can put a line through this item on the to-do list. With guarantees of integrity and continuity, resources and energy can be channeled into growing the business and keeping customers happy.
Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Students took classes and led the assembly and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
PATHANAMTHITTAIt was a field day for children at the Believers' Church Residential School at Kuttappuzha near Thiruvalla when the school authorities decided to celebrate Teachers' Day with a difference.
For once, the students could don the role of the principal as well as the teachers and take on the responsibilities of a teacher at the mock classrooms held in the forenoon session. The school head girl, Remya Mariyam Thomas, was chosen to don the role of principal while the head boy, Rony Paul Koshy, donned the higher secondary co-ordinator's garb at the 'mock school' programme on September 5.
Fun time
Children of class X and XII managed the classes from KG to class XII, till 1 pm. "It took several days to train and rehearsals to organise the programme "says Ms Santha Mathai, principal.Students conducted the morning assembly. Apart from various speeches, cultural programmes too were held to mark the occasion. For the teachers, it was an occasion to unwind and get pampered by their students. Teachers' Day is celebrated across the country on the birth anniversary of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the second President of India and a great philosopher and educationist.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
208 would be just great for AP
Needs huge game to break Dickerson's single-season rushing record, put Vikes in playoffs
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- It's all right there for Adrian Peterson now.
One more game in his remarkable comeback season, and the only thing that remains on the line is everything.
A win against the rival Green Bay Packers on Sunday would put his Minnesota Vikings into the playoffs for the first time since the 2009 season. The milestones of 2,000 yards and Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record are there to be had as well, along with a potential MVP award that would cement his standing among the league's great players.
"It's such a big game when you look at everything that can be accomplished," Peterson said Wednesday. "I'm looking forward to it, man. Most importantly, getting into the playoffs, securing that with a win against Green Bay. Having an opportunity to hit 2,000, having an opportunity to break Eric Dickerson's record in the same game, it would be great to accomplish."
Perhaps the only thing more improbable than the Vikings (9-6) sitting one victory away from a playoff berth is that they have been carried there by Peterson, who tore two ligaments in his left knee just over a year ago. He has already racked up a career-high 1,898 yards rushing this season, leaving him 102 away from becoming the first player to hit 2,000 yards on a reconstructed knee.
His inspiring recovery has galvanized a team that has been teetering on the edge of elimination the last four weeks and has put some of the biggest names to play the position in his corner as he runs toward history. Dickerson is on record as saying he hopes Peterson falls a little shy of his 2,105 yards rushing in 1984, but everyone from Jim Brown to Terrell Davis to Chris Johnson -- the last running back to rush for 2,000 yards -- have come out in support of his pursuit.
"So impressed by everything (at)AdrianPeterson has done this year," Detroit Lions great Barry Sanders tweeted recently. "Big fan of E.D. But really pulling for AP to break the record. Good luck."
Peterson needs 208 yards on Sunday to break Dickerson's record, a number that would be considered close to impossible for most running backs in this pass-happy league. But Peterson has topped that twice in the previous four games. He's also rushed for more yards against the Packers than any other team, including 210 yards at Lambeau Field on Dec. 2.
"I wouldn't say I'm rooting for him to get it, but I want him to do the best that he can do," said Johnson, who developed a bit of a rivalry with Peterson a few years back when both laid claim to the title of the best running back in the league. "It's just a nice story from where he got hurt last year. I sent him a text to see how he was doing and stuff like that. I wish him the best and whatever he does, I congratulate him on it and I'll be happy for him."
Peterson has been humbled by all the support and is understanding of Dickerson's stance, but there is one player he wishes he could sit down with before he plays one of the biggest games of his career -- Walter Payton.
"What inspired you to be the best?" he wishes he could ask the Bears great, who died in 1999. "How did he deal with success and fame? If he could do anything different, what would it be? What would he have done?"

Customer Reviews
Update: Cave, you've been really quiet for nearly two years; I want more games of yours, please release an update or something, as you are very missed!
There's been a lot of debate about the price and how it's cheating Cave fans with the in-app purchase of the boss mode. As a recent adopter of Cave games (and because I didn't play BP2) this was less of an issue, though I abstained from purchasing for a few weeks to see if any site reviews would appraise it favorably.
Eventually I caved in, and I am immensely pleased with this game. This is easily one of my favorite iOS games, and so I recommend this very highly for score-chasing shmup fans.
Amazing and addicting!
I wasn't sure that $21 would be worth it for the full game, and while it's still a bit much, I still think I got my money's worth! Awesome music and awesome gameplay! The only major thing I can think to add is a sound test which can be unlocked either by hearing certain songs in game, or by meeting a certain requirement, like beating the game with both Reco and Palm or something like that. I completely recommend this to any fan of the danmaku genre!
Refuses to open.
Tried downloading this game five times now and it won't open. It doesn't even show up on the home screen, just says "open" on iTunes.
For $14, you'd think this wouldn't be a problem.

Pretty brick farmhouse, in Portland, Maine
Thanks for viewing my Photography, it means just as much to me as breathing. My life as a photographer started 3 years ago, professionally. I bought my first DLSR camera on a Mothers day, a gift from my husband. I needed a new view of life around me. I've always dreamed of owning a Canon camera, but never had the money. The day I bought it and brought it home was the most life changing event of my life and it opened my eyes. Now, i don't let one moment pass me by. My specialty is Nature, the way sun hits an object, or a sparkle on a glass. I want the excitement captured, something that makes a moment REAL. Within these last two years i've finally found my calling and my own unique take on Nature photography. I've also found myself...

Hip hop starlets Angel Haze and Iggy Azalea have made an impassioned plea that the bickering between female rappers stops. The message of peace came during a recent Haze concert in London, where Azalea made a surprise appearance.
While sharing the stage side by side, to cover Kanye West and Jay Z's track Otis, Haze said that there needs to be camaraderie among female rappers and for her peers to band together to become the future of hip hop:
"No more pitting your favourite female rappers against each other. We are the future of rap."
While onstage Iggy Azalea backed up Haze's request for unity among female hip hop figures, expressing her friendship for Haze and offering her support:
"Angel's always going to have a friend in me,… I support her. She's a fucking star. She's the future."
Earlier in the year Haze became involved in a war of words with the always-feisty Azealia Banks. Banks, one of the
world's Internet's highest profile female rappers, has also conflicted with fellow MC Nikki Minaj and R&B singer Rita Ora.
Of course, beef between hip hop figures, regardless of gender, is nothing new. Time will tell if Haze's message reaches her peers. One thing is for sure – with Banks reportedly handing over the password to her Twitter account to label Interscope, there should be a
little shit-ton less friction in the hip hop community for the time being.

Is Your Authority Site Safe From Negative SEO? A Look At PRWEB And PRNewswire
[Disclaimer: Contributors' views are their own. They do not necessarily represent Devshed views ]
Last month I wrote an article about Google's payday loan update which seemed to hit several sites but bypassed YouTube.
This month I have decided to go and take a look at two of the most popular press release sites and see if they have recovered from the penalty.
The 1st site I looked at was PR Newswire, who was getting an estimated 441,000 organic visits per month in May before the penalty. As you can see in the image below they are now driving an estimated 47,800 organic visits per month to the site after the penalty.
The 2nd site I have been monitoring is PR Web, one of the other big players in the Press Release niche. PR Web was getting a whopping 760,000+ estimated organic visits per month in May and since the penalty they are getting just over 34,000 estimated organic visits.
Due to these penalties both press releases companies have made sweeping changes to what they will allow to be covered in their releases moving forward.
For instance neither agency will allow releases to be published about HCG, Green Coffee Beans, Raspberry Ketone, Garcinia Cambogia, Electronic Cigarettes or Payday Loans.
Most of these products Google will happily to advertise for profit, as seen in the image below.
If you think about the implication of these penalties it should also make it pretty clear that negative seo can be applied to most anyone, regardless of the size, age or reputation of the site in question.
Let's put this in perspective, both of these sites have millions of existing links pointing to them over the course of several years in the business. The behavior of a few black hat SEO's out there caused the sites to lose rankings and traffic for keywords which resulted on up to a 90% drop in estimated organic traffic.
While it is unlikely this was an intentional negative SEO attempt the result was the same, the sites were penalized due to behavior outside of their direct control and links they did not build themselves.
How difficult would it be to replicate this same pattern of bad behavior and victimize other, smaller sites that are standing in the way of your rankings?
Matt Cutts put out a YouTube video discussing how negative seo is easily combated through the disavow tool and how webmasters might just find it a minor inconvenience to disavow links.
Below is a snapshot of PR Web's 26 MILLION links across nearly 200,000 domains I am not sure about you, but I would think reviewing even 1% of those links to be more than a "minor" inconvenience, even if you are lucky enough to have a full time webmaster on your staff.
The point is no matter what you do it is in your best interest to regularly check your backlink profile in Google Webmaster tools and 3rd party tools such as Majestic Seo. Many times the penalty is not applied right away and by the time you figure out you have been a victim of negative SEO you may have to go back months to see where those links have come from.
What do you think; do you think Google has made it too easy to use negative SEO as a tactic?
How Panda and Penguin Algorithms Negatively Affect Your Website
[Disclaimer: Contributors' views are their own. They do not necessarily represent Devshed views ]
A top ranking on Google is a golden ticket to success. Companies spend fortunes on Search Engine Optimisation and Google advertising to raise awareness of their site, thus boosting their place on search results. Google is fully aware that companies are willing to do almost anything to get to number one on page one. So over the last few years, they have introduced increasingly stringent regulations to ensure that high-ranking websites are not only free of spam but also contain 'high quality' content.
While the delineation of quality might seem rather arbitrary, Google builds increasingly complex algorithms in order to ensure that it becomes ever more difficult to get a great ranking without spending some serious money on brand building. Google would perhaps prefer sites to spend money on their own advertising, so Google is increasingly clamping down on those wishing to get a keyword bump, creating an opaque situation that requires constant vigilance.
Google is, first and foremost, a profit-generating enterprise; and the company is second to none in that regard. Its business model from the offset has been to provide a high-quality product that seems simple to the outside world but which, obviously, reflects a highly complex algorithm under the hood – able to provide the most reliable and accurate results on a consistent basis. This simplicity of user-experience was evidenced in their meteoric rise to the top of the search engine world, eviscerating their competition in the process.
There's not much you can Ask Jeeves these days; he has gone to the cyber afterlife due to Google's peerless quality of search. In contrast, the very term 'search' has been replaced with the verb 'to Google.' It is certain that a company has gained ubiquity once its name shifts from a noun to a verb. The danger of such a shift is complacency, and Google has been very aware of this inherent danger in the ever changing world of tech; they have innovated in various areas, from their Android mobile Operating System to their Google Maps, Google Earth, and the multitude of G-products that we all use in daily life.
One of the major ways Google has been able to stay ahead of the game is by shifting and modifying the way they calculate the popularity of sites. The general user wouldn't notice such a change. BBC, Microsoft, and other major corporate entities still dominate their realms as do other major niche providers, but how to decide on the popularity of a travel site, or a site selling sportswear? Their "popularity" is the general answer to the question; but dig a little deeper, and it becomes apparent that popularity is something that can be gained.
Whether it comes from having the most references to the site, having most links to it, or being the most search content matching specific search terms, there is a multitude of ways to benchmark popularity and then tailor output to fit within these parameters. The people in Google know that if they are ranking unhelpful websites on page one, then their customers will be going elsewhere for their "Googling."Thus, they alter their algorithms a fair amount.
Google Panda
Google Panda was Google's 2011 attempt to restrict websites from being crammed with keywords and building link farms in order to increase their ranking. Quality, as ever, was Google's priority here as they went about uprooting a whole industry that had been built up by exploiting the loopholes that were evident in the Google Search model.
Five years ago, it was possible, with some concerted effort, to put together a site that could dominate in chosen search terms and maintain a top spot with an increasing amount of links and cloned content. However, Google Panda put an end to all of that as Google started banning sites that had built up their popularity this way.
All of a sudden, sites that were ranking highly started to fall off the main page and into obscurity as Google's indexing system would blacklist sites that had a negative mark against them. This was even possible for sites that were mostly original but had hidden away from plain sight practices that were banned under the Google Panda algorithm. This update was nicknamed the Famer Update as it put an end to link farms and set a number of business models into a tailspin.
Things to Watch Out for with Google Panda
- No nonsense! The algorithm is built from human test cases. Programmers analyse many sites and flag content that is off limits. They then build an algorithm around these test cases and work with the algorithm until it is able to function automatically. So, the most obvious lesson is don't write nonsense. Grammatically incoherent work will get you flagged in no time at all.
- No duplications! If more than 90% of content on your page exists on another page on your site, you are in trouble. So be careful with your headers and borders. If you are repeating the same outline on every page, and your original content is minimal, you are in trouble.
- No advertisement overload! If your page is little more than an advert, you will be blacklisted. By all means advertise, but think smart. The algorithm is so advanced these days that you have to think of it in human terms. Would a human notice that you are hosting a site to link elsewhere? If so, Panda will too.
- No farming! Is there an overload of keywords on your site? While keywords were once the golden ticket to search engine success, now they must be used sparingly and with caution. Of course, you need to optimise your Google search terms, but if you have 100 links to 'boost your libido,' you are going to get picked up.
- No robotic content! If you have auto-generating content, you are in trouble. Panda identifies and blocks content that has clearly not been built by humans.
Cyrus Shepard's August 2011 post 'Beating Google's Panda Update – 5 Deadly Content Sins' is as relevant today as it was back then and we can see the forward thinking from Cyrus has been proven correct when reviewing the array of Panda updates since this algorithm update launch in February 2011.
Google Penguin
Once rules change, new ways to play the game are quickly figured out. While Panda hit many firms hard—SEO firms, especially—it was quickly realised that with some modification, it was still possible to nail a top ranking with some intelligent application of keywords. The preferred method at this time was to position keyword heavy articles on sites, often fictitious, and link back to each other. Much of this content was humorous and whimsical, whether for travel-focused websites, dating websites, or any other industry website that it is possible to conceive of. It was rumoured that famous authors were picking up decent fees for stream of consciousness writing filled with hot topic keywords and subordinate keywords.
Before long, the ever-alert Google machine realized what was going on and decided that further algorithm changes were necessary. Thus, the reign of the Panda was not over, rather it was joined by another anthropomorphic Google algorithm.
Quality was again the catalyst for the launch of Google Penguin in April of 2012. This update targeted what it referred to as "Webspam" with the intention of penalizing sites that did not meet expected standards of quality.
Again, the topic of quality is one which seems to be defined in a rather subjective manner by Google, but overall perhaps 'usefulness' would be a better description. Once somebody puts in a search term, does the result they get actively address their enquiry or just point to another site that is off topic? This was the motivation behind the Penguin shift.
Things to Watch Out for with Google Penguin
- Quality. The ever-elusive entity of quality can be measured in various ways. Is the content authoritative? Is it being linked to a variety of sources? How relevant are these sources? Is there a diversity of comments? If so, you will probably be able to pass the quality threshold.
- Link relevancy. Stick to your niche. If you are posting links to sites that are too different from your own, then you may be flagged. Stick to a web of interconnected sites, and you will be able to build your niche positioning.
- Organic linking. If you suddenly have an upsurge in links, this is likely to set alarm bells ringing. Links built up over time have more cachet and add to the perception of your site as authoritative and possessing quality content.
- Diversity of anchor texts. Don't repeat the same key words in your anchors as this is a major red flag. Use synonyms or similar terms rather than repeating yourself.
- Link quality. Getting links from sites that are red flagged will also come back to haunt you. Be sure that when you are building your links that you are looking for link quality vs. quantity. Quality begets quality after all.
Jason DeMers recently had published yet another extremely informative guide on how to recover post Penguin 2.1 in October, Penguin 2.1: What Changed Since 2.0, and How to Recover, which should give you a good overview, but Glen Gabe's follow up findings were also extremely insightful.
How to Maximise SEO in the World of Panda and Penguin
A good place to start is to analyse your Web traffic. If you have seen a sudden dip, then there is a good chance you have fallen victim to these changes. Google publishes the dates of updates to its algorithm, so compare these with the work you have already done. If you find that you have suffered on these dates, then you need to figure out how this particular update has negatively affected you and start to make some changes.
If you can target the issue and resolve it, wait for 20-30 days and check your traffic again. If there has been no recovery, then you need to go back again and make further changes.
As ever, Rand Fishkin leads the way when it comes to all things SEO, and his presentation at the Digital Marketing summit is essential viewing for all those who wish to understand the issues facing companies who wish to dominate on Google today.
In conclusion, the key lessons to take from all of this is that Google is going to keep innovating, and it is going to keep aiming to increase the quality of search results. Expect further changes in years to come as Google seeks to solidify itself and remain top dog.
Be extra careful with anything you publish on your site. If it is a copy-and-paste job, then you risk a ban. If you are full of links that seem irrelevant, you will be banned. Low quality content can bring your site at risk of being banned. Google's algorithm is turning into an editor which expects high-quality content if it is going to be giving front-page space on its search engine. So, keep the editor happy with clean, well-written, and interesting prose; connect with a professional SEO company, and watch your stock rise.
Simplify: Email Marketing Using Autoresponders 101
Are you depending on Google to keep sending you traffic? What if you stop ranking so well? Or your site gets a penalty? Maybe you are paying for traffic over and over. Why would you want to do that? You could be capturing each visitor to your list and keeping them there. That is what auto-responders do.
By offering a series of useful email messages to your visitors you can get them to give you their email address and keep them coming back. The best way to grow your list is to offer something of value. At one time most people used eBooks. The problem with that is the high percentage of subscribers who download what you offer and then immediately unsubscribe. If you send the same information as an autoresponder series, your subscribers have to stay on your list.
This works – but many are not doing this as well as they could. Think about the emails you receive. Personally, I read the short ones as soon as I open them. But the long ones I often save for "later" – but that "later" never comes. I bet many other people do that, too.
Goal: Get Your Emails Opened
The goal is to get your emails opened. By sending really short emails your subscribers will be more likely to open them. They may not do this consciously, but subconsciously they'll associate your emails with "short and painless". That is what you want. Their goal is to get information in easily digested bites.
Your goal is to keep them opening or at least wanting to receive your emails so when they are ready to buy what you offer they remember you. Search traffic converts because people use it when they're ready to buy. If they remember you they won't need to search – they can just click on your link in your emails.
Remember to ALWAYS include a link back to your site!
Simplify the Process
What is easy gets done more often. The best way to create your autoresponder series is to use a template you can edit each time. That way your header, logo, slogan, social sharing buttons, and links to your social networking accounts are already in place. You just edit the text.
Email solutions providers are making templates easier to use. There is a video about autoresponders that explains the many features that are now built into templates. If you make your messages flow in a sequence, your subscribers will be more likely to be happy to receive them. Here's also a quick and sweet intro to autoresponders by ProBlogger.
One way to do that is to write a how-to and then break it up into small sections. Or you can make a list of priorities in order and write each one separately. Do whatever works best for you. Remember to always focus on what your potential buyers want – NOT what you want.
Give your subscribers what they want to receive and you can keep them on your list reminding them to choose your company. Over time you build trust that increases conversions. Do this consistently and your profits will grow.
Mobile Responsiveness
Studies continue to show increases in the percentage of email being opened on smartphones. Make sure you have updated all your email templates and landing pages to work on mobile devices.
Do not assume they work. You need to actually test them on as many devices as possible. Verify that the header, images, and videos resize correctly. If they don't you will need to update your site with new code, a new theme, or plugins.
Click on the social media accounts and verify they take your readers to each specific social account. Test every social sharing button – or at least the major platforms – and ensure that it works as expected. Configure shared tweets to include your Twitter username and make sure images share properly on Facebook, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.
Repeat Visitors Are More Likely to Buy
Building your list, setting up autoresponders, and creating actual relationships with your visitors can turn missed opportunities into leads and sales. You must keep them coming back to buy.
