Some Facts about SEO Freelancers
It is completely normal for new webmasters or people that have launched new websites to run into problems concerning the search engines. Heavy marketing will always be a requirement if you want a website to be more popular but giving some attention to SEO is a smarter choice. Fortunately, you have plenty of options available in meeting your SEO requirements. You can search for an SEO company that specialises in website optimisation and pay up so they can help you. You can also learn SEO all by yourself if you are not in a hurry and you don’t want to spend. There are also SEO freelance individuals that are looking for some work to do. Which all means when it comes to SEO, there is no perfect path to take. Evaluating your objectives may lead you to a better decision but you should at least know some of the cool facts about freelance individuals so you know why they often make good early choices.
Plenty of SEO Freelance Individuals Available
Freelancers do what they do because they want to have a stable flow of income or an additional stream of extra income. Going with the option of freelance individuals, they want to take on new challenges so they can improve their skills and widen their portfolio. With SEO a highly accessible skill to learn, you will find plenty of freelancers that should be more than willing to help you. These individuals often hang out in forums or freelance sites where members can post job requests and projects that need to be completed.
Easy to Communicate With
Since you are dealing with a single SEO specialist, you should have no trouble in developing a good relationship with that person. You do not have to deal with representatives, secretaries, or middlemen when it comes to addressing your SEO needs. If you are not very proficient in the SEO field, communicating with the SEO freelancer can be very beneficial to you as the freelancer may have some better ideas for your website than your own personal requests. It is the job of a passionate SEO freelancer to come up with the best possible approach in bringing more traffic to a website.
Different Specialities to Choose From
If you want the full SEO package, going for an SEO company can be a safer choice unless you encounter a good SEO freelance professional that has knowledge in multiple areas. But if you have other areas covered and only specific needs to address, you can find a certain SEO freelance individual that can best fulfil these specific needs. Freelancers have more flexibility when it comes to making requests since SEO companies prefer giving packages whether you need them or not. For instance, if all you need is keyword research, an SEO freelancer should offer that and may give you a good rate for it. Some freelancers may be better in a particular skill like keyword research than other skills. You should be able to save more money if you go for a freelancer in this case.
To minimise the potential risks of choosing an SEO freelance individual, ask for past projects that the freelancer took so you can judge if he is capable of getting your job done.
How To Submit Rss Feed For Your Website
One of the best ways to keep users of your website is to have them coming back for more. You can accomplish this by providing RSS feeds. RSS Stands for Really Simple Syndication, and is a coded method of informing website users of new news, activities happening, contests you are running, anything you really want to know. The process of RSS Feeds is relatively easy, when you know how to do it. But for the beginner, it may be a little intimidating to learn how to submit an RSS feed for your website.
One way to submit an RSS feed for your website is to put up a blog or “weB LOG” Blogging software usually contains built in code that will submit your feed to RSS directories every time you make a new post. For some people, however, this can be tricky. Blogging software out of the box can be a little intimidating, and they usually provide very little to no documentation. Hosted blogs like WordPress and Blogger usually contain those built in codes, but customizing your blog to your liking can be difficult.
Another, less used but highly popular, method is to create the RSS Feed yourself. This is done through eXtended Markup Language, or XML. XML is almost like HTML in its design, except for the fact that RSS XML Files contain usually only three or four items. These items are the title, description and link. You can embed multiple items into one XML file, which creates your feed.
An RSS feed is a grouping of items chained together. This is called a “channel” and is referenced by the “channel” and “/channel” tags at the beginning and end, respectively, of your XML file. The last thing you need to do at the top of your file is indicate it is an XML file by using the XML and RSS tags. See your favorite web design book or website on how to do this.
So, you’ve spent all this time creating your XML file, it works, and all is well, now what do you do with it? Well, you need to submit it of course. The best way to submit an RSS Feed is to use one of the multitude of RSS Directories out there. I won’t list any, just google it. Once you’ve found one, submit your XML file like you would a web page, and within minutes, your newly acquired RSS Feed will be screaming across the internet at the speed of light, both to your current users, and also attracting new users at an alarming rate.
The benefits of RSS are great. You can keep your users informed of happenings on your site, you can attract new users, and you can ensure that your news will get out to the world with ease.
Neul Launches First White Space Radio System
Cambridge UK company Neul and California partner Carlson today launched the first commercially available white space radio system created for wireless internet service providers.
RuralConnect unveiled in Florida is the first radio networking system to deliver the full promise of TV white space broadband to the providers.
Sales of RuralConnect are being managed in the US by Carlson, the hardware partner, and shared internationally with software aces Neul.
The product launch follows the announcement of a global partnership in last October and is aimed at bringing affordable broadband to millions around the world.
The system will give users up to 16 Mbps of bandwidth for each available vacant TV channel and unmatched ability to make long range, non-line-of-sight links.
Designed specifically for the needs of wireless Internet service providers (WISPs), RuralConnect has been priced to make it immediately commercially viable. Samples and development kits are available now, with volume shipments of the new system to start as soon as Q2, 2012.
Thanks to the extension of the Payroll Tax Bill, passed in February 2012, white space radio is now fully available in the US, opening up a host of opportunities and new markets that are currently difficult to serve without expensive licensed spectrum or extensive infrastructure.
This has piqued the interest of many investors and venture capitalists looking to tap in to the unlimited possibilities of this emerging technology.
RuralConnect technology, jointly developed by Neul Business Weeklys newly-chosen Wireless Business of the Year and Carlson, uses white spaces, (unused portions of UHF spectrum), for digital communication.
Due to its outstanding propagation characteristics, UHF signals can travel through walls and other obstacles: Line of sight is not needed to the subscribers home.
But it is not enough just to be able to send a signal a long way. On long-range links reflections from buildings and terrain cause signals to travel via many different routes from the transmitter to the receiver. These multipath signals interfere can with each other, potentially causing unreliable, slow connections.
RuralConnect uses state of the art SCFDE technology to cancel the effect of multipath allowing reliable long range connections, whatever the terrain.
As a result WISPs using the new system can offer superior coverage over wide areas with limited base-station sites. It also enables the transfer of more data at higher data rates, driving additional revenue with minimal additional investment. Depending on the area, up to 20 channels are available, increasing the amount of non-line-of-sight capable spectrum available by a factor of 10.
Concurrently, Carlson is launching a line of omnidirectional and sectoral, high-gain, base-station antennas designed specifically for TV white-space broadband. The first of their kind, these antennas are powerful, affordable and energy efficient, says Neul CEO James Collier.
“RuralConnect marks a major milestone in the realisation of white space technologies, which have been in development for a while,” commented Luke DArcy, VP of Marketing at Neul.
“The outstanding propagation characteristics of white space signals means that operators can to serve customers they cannot reach with existing wireless technology.
“The capacity available allows pioneering WISPs to offer all customers faster plans that beat ADSL based competition. And this is possible without investing in new tower sites, spectrum licenses or high priced network equipment, boosting profitable growth.”
Carlson and Neul are showcasing the new product at ISPAmerica in Florida, until March 30.
