8 SEO Facts Every Digital Marketer Should Know

Search engine optimization is a very important part of digital marketing. Here are some search engine facts that a digital marketer should know. These SEO facts 2018 can really help you plan different marketing strategies.

1. Most users click on the top 5 search results:- According to the latest research, 75% of users click on the first 5 search results displayed by the search engine. To be more precise, 32% of users click on the top result compared to 18% of users who search for the second result. This statistic shows very clearly that the higher your website ranks, the more visits it will get.

2. Users don’t often scroll past page 1:- Only a mere 20% of users are persistent enough to scroll to page 2 of the search results. So if your website is on page 2, then you need to work on your SEO and digital marketing strategies.

3. Mobile Friendly Keywords Are The Need Of The Hour:- About 50% of users start their searches on a mobile device. When people use their phone to search, they tend to use different keywords. Additionally, when it comes to searching for local businesses, 88% of searches are initiated on a mobile device.

4. Mobile SEO and Local Businesses:- As we mentioned earlier, users tend to search for local businesses on their smartphones. The number of smartphone users is increasing year by year, so it is very important to plan your keywords according to the increase in mobile searches.

5. Websites with more pages are likely to attract more traffic:- The number of pages on a website plays a direct role in determining the amount of traffic it generates. It simply reflects the importance of the relevant keywords.

6. About half of search queries are 4 words or more:- It is a clear fact that short keywords will help you appear higher in search results. But at the same time, it is very difficult to rank for those keywords as short keywords are very competitive. Therefore, instead of going for short competitive keywords, you should only use the longer ones effectively.

7. Organic search continues to trump social media traffic:- Although social media traffic is increasing by the day, organic searches are still the way to go. Organic searches account for 41% of total search, which is 3 times the traffic from social networks. Therefore, going completely to social media platforms to generate traffic is unwise.

8. Quality content:- Google loves rich, defined content that gives appreciation to users and answers questions. Whenever you’re trying to get a site on the first page of Google, make sure you incorporate plenty of substance.

Movie Review: To Catch a Thief (1955)

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock

Screenplay by John Michael Hayes adapted from the novel by David Dodge.

Cary Grant – John Robie

Grace Kelly – Frances Stevens

Jessie Royce Landis – Jessie Stevens

John Williams-HH Hughson

Charles Vanel-Bertani

Brigitte Auber – Danielle Foussard

Jean Martinelli-Fossard

Georgette Anys – Germaine

Easily one of the most beautiful and compelling movies ever filmed. It’s no coincidence that Robert Burks won the 1956 Oscar for Best Color Photography. A delight to the eye for a tourism poster of an entertainment. After seeing it, you will also be a fan of the beauty of the French Riviera.

Cary Grant, as John Robie, returns to play a decent and well-meaning guy (despite his background as a notorious cat burglar) who gets caught up in an affair that threatens to land him back in jail.

This time he is suspected of committing the recent series of robberies that have deprived the super-rich of Nice of their precious jewellery. Robie claims his innocence to no avail. He’s still the best suspect the police have. So the French police keep riding his tail. Robie’s only way out is to find the real thief.

Robie accomplishes this by collaborating with insurance agent HH Hughson (played by the prim and proper John Williams, who also played the police detective in another Hitchcock-Grace Kelly film: Dial M For Murder, 1954).

Five parallels between “To Catch a Thief” (TCT) and the other Hitchcock classic “North by Northwest” (NBN) in which Cary Grant also starred:

1) In both movies, Grant plays a guy who gets into trouble early on, practically five minutes into the movie.

2) Both movies have that famous scene where a female character is hanging from a high place and Cary Grant grabs her wrist at the last moment and carries her to safety. On NBN, she is the protagonist hanging from the colossal relief of George Washington on Mount Rushmore. In TCT, she is the villain who hangs from the ceiling of Villa de Silva.

3) NBN has the famous scene of the crop duster. In TCT, a similar-looking police plane chases from low altitude the boat in which Grant flees the port of Nice.

4) Jessie Royce Landis, who plays “Jessie Stevens” on TCT, plays Cary Grant’s mother on NBN (even though Grant was ten years older than her). Landis played Grace Kelley’s mother not only on TCT but also in “The Swan” (1956).

5) On NBN, Hitchcock makes his signature appearance by boarding a public bus at a city bus station. In TCT, Hitchcock makes his characteristic appearance by sitting right next to Grant as an anonymous passenger in the last row of a passenger bus traveling the dusty back roads of the French Riviera.

OTHER NOTES:

— This was the last film that Grace Kelly filmed with Hitchcock. Soon after, she married Prince Rainier of Monaco and left the movie business for good. If she hadn’t done that, she definitely would have faced Cary Grant in “North by Northwest.”

— French actor Charles Vanel (as Bertani) couldn’t speak a word of English. All of his lines were dubbed.

— Half of the film (most of the interiors) was shot at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.

— The film was shot using PanaVision technology, the main competitor to Cinemascope technology at the time. In PanaVision technology, the film ran horizontally, not vertically.

— Screenwriter John Michael Hayes also wrote that other great Hitchcock classic, “Rear Window (1954).”

12 types of vintage products that you can sell through online auctions

All kinds of antiques, from dolls to furniture, are certainly great sellers. But most of us are not antique dealers and may not know or care enough about them. So here are twelve things that are selling like crazy that you can profit from using online auctions. (The list is not in order of priority.)

1. Corners

Many people are coin collectors. You can buy all kinds of foreign currencies on the Internet; Mexican pesos and Brazilian currencies. Now that we have the euro, the coins in old money can only increase in value as they become a rarity.

These are very cheap coins. Some people have packaged them up, like a hundred world coins, and sold them at auction for £60 and £70. Many of those coins, like the Mexican peso and the Brazilian peso coin, cost less than one cent.

Also, Indian Head pennies and antique silver, and even some current silver that’s not that old, what’s called junk silver but still silver, is very popular. Some people offer these things much more than what can be purchased as base metal. It’s crazy, but that’s how it is.

2. Pocket and hunting knives

Both old and new hunting and pocket knives are very popular items. This category also includes swords.

It’s not for everyone, but if you’re interested in or have some knowledge of survival skills using knives, or find the history of swords fascinating, these articles work well online.

3. Watches and Rings

People like some unusual watches and rings. Some of New Mexico’s turquoise watches and jewelry were originally popular twenty years ago. But then it went out of style and no one would wear it. Now, once again, it is popular.

If you can buy such jewelry at a good price, you can double and even triple your money.

4. Music boxes

Music boxes are very collectible and very popular. They are relatively easy to ship to customers. A visit to any junk shop, auto trunk sale, mall, or antique market will usually yield at least one music box.

5. Christmas Season Items

All kinds of unusual items related to Easter, Christmas and Halloween are extremely popular. People have bid on items in this category very high.

6. Arts and Crafts of Native American Indians

Anything to do with Indian arts and crafts is big business, especially in the US, UK, Germany and Belgium. Old arrowheads are popular, blankets, saddles, trinkets, all sorts of things related to Native American nations.

7. Religious articles

It doesn’t matter if the religious items are Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu or any other religion. They are all very popular.

In the Middle East they have “pearls of concern.” I had an Arab friend many years ago who gave me some. They don’t cost a lot of money. I’ve seen them bid up to £25.

8. Rocks and Fossils

Rocks and fossils are very popular, perhaps because they are very collectible: they take up little space, but a collection can be interesting and start.

9. Bedspreads and Duvets

North American Indian star quilts are very popular as are the various quilts made by the Victorians. Still a popular craft today, even modern handmade quilts and quilts can fetch a good price.

10. Perfumes and Colognes

This includes perfumes and colognes for both men and women. Especially name brands at a discount where people can bid on them, but get them for less than the £50 it would normally sell for in a big department store.

11.Regional articles

Regional items have increased in popularity. People who live in Arizona and New Mexico, California, Texas can cross the border and buy extremely low priced Mexican crafts and yet double or triple their money on eBay.

If you don’t live in the United States, but take a vacation in Mexico or South America, you may still find this lucrative. This category also covers tourist items purchased anywhere in the world; such as African beads, dolls in the country’s attire, porcelain from the coastal towns of the British Isles, handbags from Egypt, it’s endless. On the other hand, there is a vast and thriving market in pre-1970s British seaside trivia.

12. Autographs

If you know or have something that has been signed by a famous person; a rock star, movie stars, presidents, you name it, are bidding big on eBay and other auction sites. Some collectors are also willing to bid on a famous person’s item of clothing or lock of hair.

So that’s just a roundup of twelve categories that sell well through internet auctions.

Of course you can sell thousands of other items. All kinds of books are sold, for example, there is no doubt about that. I’ve sold books, and I’ve had three or four different companies buy books from me and resell them on eBay, Yahoo, and other auction sites. However, you need to buy or print books cheap enough that you can ask for big enough discounts.

For example, a £25 book might be auctioned for £6 or £7. Now if you bought it for £2 or printed it for £2, making a constant profit shouldn’t be a problem. The profit margin is large enough that you walk away with cash in your pocket.

The insurance assumes an accident by the person to whom you lent your car

I had to empathize with my friend. Poor man: out of the goodness of his heart, the man lent his vehicle to a relative. And then his relative was in a serious accident, resulting in two totaled vehicles: the car he had lent my friend and the truck he hit!

For those uneducated on the subject, when you lend your car to someone else, the insurance industry refers to that driver as a permissive driver. If a permissive driver causes an accident, this is how insurance companies will respond.

Car insurance and an accident caused by a permissive driver

If you gave permission to someone who is not listed as a driver on your auto insurance policy and that person causes a car accident, the procedure is generally as follows.

1. In case the driver and the owner of the car have separate auto policies, the auto owner’s insurance will pay for damages under the collision portion of the coverage, after the policy holder pays the deductible required.

2. If there is significant property damage, as well as bodily injury to the other driver or their passengers or pedestrians, the car owner’s insurance will cover the damages and legal fees from an associated lawsuit filed against the car owner. Insurance payments are subject to policy limits. If the car owner’s policy limits lead to an outstanding balance, the driver of the loaned car can seek compensation from their own insurance company to receive any remaining funds owed for damages. If the car borrower is injured in an accident he or she caused, the related payments would generally be covered by the Personal Injury Protection portion of your auto policy. In the event that the driver does not have this insurance protection, but the car owner does, the coverage will go through that.

3. What if the person who borrowed the car was in an accident but did not have a valid driver’s license? In this case, there is a good chance coverage will be denied. Many insurance companies exclude coverage for an unlicensed driver. If this occurs, the owner of the car, you, and the “permissive driver” will be responsible for paying all damages, as well as court fees, if any.

But in addition to the related aggravation and potential wallet depletion, policyholders can find their premiums at policy renewal.

Of course, anyone working with an experienced independent agency designated to do direct business with many of the leading underwriters has the advantage of working to the advantage of the market to find the lowest premium available under the circumstances.

Does anyone remember the fashion for cabbages?

If you’re over 30, you probably remember the Cabbage Patch doll craze of the 1980s. People waited in line for hours just for the privilege of buying one of these dolls. Stores couldn’t keep them on the shelves. Some people think it was the biggest marketing gimmick of the 1980s.

The dolls were originally designed by a man named Xavier Roberts who lives in Georgia. In 1982, Roberts sold the mass production rights to the Coleco Toy Company. As you may recall, each Cabbage Patch doll came with her own name and birthday, adoption papers, and birth certificate. Each doll was said to be unique (just a little different).

For the first few years, it seemed that Coleco couldn’t produce these dolls fast enough. The dolls were in such short supply at Christmas that some stores had to call the police just to control the crowds waiting in line to buy the dolls. Other stores decided to hold raffles to distribute the dolls fairly and avoid mob-like scenes. In 1985 Coleco reported record sales of $600 million thanks to Cabbage Patch dolls.

Obviously, like most fads, the Cabbage Patch fad didn’t last long. Sales fell from $600 million in 1985 to just $250 million in 1986. There were scalpers and speculators who were left with cabinets full of dolls that suddenly didn’t sell very well anymore. Coleco then tried many things to revive the doll market by making dolls “do things” such as talk. However, things went downhill from there and Coleco had to declare bankruptcy in 1988.

The Hasbro Company obtained the rights to produce the doll in 1989. They gradually began making dolls for younger children, which led to smaller dolls. Despite the fact that the Cabbage Patch dolls were one of the best selling dolls. Hasbro was never able to revitalize the Cabbage Patch market. In 1994 Mattel bought the rights to the doll.

Mattel currently still produces Cabbage patch dolls. However, the dolls no longer have cloth bodies, they are still all vinyl dolls. The dolls are generally around 14 inches or less, and most of them come with a gimmick like swimming, eating, or brushing their teeth. Most of the Cabbage Patch dolls made by Mattel are still available at some mass market retailers such as Toy’s R US. The sticker price is usually less than $20.

The ideas presented in this book will help you in your daily life by giving you a new perspective. Who says you can’t talk to God your way? I found this book very enlightening and very inspiring. Neal may not actually be talking to God directly, it may be his subconscious self giving the answers, or the answers may come from one of his guides. It doesn’t really matter where the inspiration comes from, the question is, does it make sense?

I feel that this book is written for all those people who need a new look at life. Haven’t we all heard the same story about what life is supposed to be like? The things that the societies we live in have taught us don’t always make sense. Those ideas can leave us feeling like we’re running in circles without getting the real answers to our questions. This book gives you a big WOW, and you get the feeling that the correct answers have been given and are now available to you.

This book is not about religion or the Bible. Keep an open mind as you read it and don’t judge where the ideas come from, just listen to the ideas. Everyone can get ideas from this book.

Advantages and Disadvantages of the Web-To-Print Process

The growth of the Internet has opened up multiple avenues for startups to enhance their business offerings and increase revenue from online channels. Web-to-print is one of the industries that is still in its early stages, slowly gaining momentum as more and more offline printing companies are embracing the Internet.

However, it is growing at a fast pace. If you’re starting a web-to-print business, or thinking about expanding your brick-and-mortar print shop to provide online services, you need to clearly understand what you’re getting into.

Let’s look at the pros and cons of the web-to-print process.

Advantage

ease of transaction

There’s no need to take time off to go to the print shop and order your goodies. Web-to-print allows customers to buy what they want with just a few clicks. It also becomes easier for the print shop as they don’t have to explain everything to every client. All the information, templates and products are online. They just have to order the orders accordingly.

Reduce costs

Printing cost is reduced without compromising product quality. The printer can now focus only on the products instead of renovating his shop and other things that are required when dealing face to face with the customer.

faster process

The printing process becomes much faster when everything is managed automatically. The printer receives the order, prints it, and sends it to the customer. There are no intermediate processes involved. The printer does not have to accumulate orders until the customer picks up his order.

wide market

While offline printers can only reach nearby customers or a few fixed customers, web-to-print allows the business to transact across local, state and international boundaries. Printers can accept orders from anywhere in the world, as long as they can manage the proper shipping facilities.

Disadvantages

Although printing from the web certainly increases your sales and generates incredible income, there are also some disadvantages associated with the process of printing from the web. Let’s see the main ones:

Lacks the expert touch

When a printer is offline, the customer can go and work with the printing software professional to get the desired design. Because the printer is an expert publisher, the work is much more refined and desirable for many clients. On the other hand, web-to-print can only offer templates that customers need to modify accordingly. There is a lack of expert recommendations on designs in web-to-print processes.

Expensive for small printers

The web-to-print service often requires the use of digital systems. Also, your limited access to the server system software and solution could end up being a hindrance. Given the cost of resources it takes to run a successful e-commerce business, it may not be a better fit for small-scale printers.

simple products

The entire process, including the products on offer, has to be easy. For more complex custom items, it would be difficult to estimate the costs of the product given the finishing and additional charges that the job might incur. Web-to-print businesses can only be successful for companies looking to sell simple products like mugs, t-shirts, stationery, clothing, etc.

Reduce sodium by making your own soup

Learning to make soup is not difficult. Try perusing your recipe box, food magazines, or some of your cookbooks, and you’re bound to come up with plenty of ideas for making homemade soup. The beauty of homemade soup is that you can literally take any basic recipe and tweak it based on whatever ingredients you have on hand. You can make adjustments if you have specific nutritional requirements, such as cutting back on salt.

There are few foods you can make that are as cheap as soup. Most soups start with a broth or vegetable base. To that you can add pieces of meat, chicken or fish, vegetables, beans, lentils or any combination of grains you have on hand. Making a soup is also a wonderful way to use up leftovers. Soups are suitable for almost any meal or snack. They freeze pretty well, so here’s an opportunity to make meals ahead of time.

If you’re short on time to cook, but want to eat healthier, try making a pot of soup on your day off. A good plan is to make a big pot of a different soup every week or so. Keep enough on hand for a couple of meals during the week. Freeze the rest in smaller containers, preferably 1-2 serving containers. If you make a different type of soup each week, you’ll soon have a nice selection in your freezer to choose from for a quick lunch or dinner. You can take your single serving of frozen soup to work with you and have a nice healthy meal just by heating it up.

When you make your own soup, you’ll likely have a more nutritious product that doesn’t contain added sodium or preservatives. Some commercial soups may be low in calories, but may have 1,000 mg (or more) of sodium per serving. Even many of the low sodium varieties can have 450 mg. of sodium, and that can be too much if you need to watch your salt intake. When you make your own soup, you can control the amount of salt added without compromising flavor.

If you’re really short on time, try using low-sodium broths as a base to make a great soup. Adding vegetables, beans, lentils, or whole grains to the soup adds lots of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Broth or stock-based soups are generally lower in calories, and depending on what you add to the soup, you can create something quite low in calories.

Soups provide a feeling of satiety and can help control hunger. People who regularly incorporate soup into their eating plan tend to eat fewer calories in their meal. Consider homemade soup for a snack or an appetizer for dinner. This could help you avoid overeating at dinner.

There are few things that can go wrong when you make soup. Try using a slow cooker or just simmer over low heat on the stove; Give it time. The more you make soups and broths, the more skilled and creative you will become at the task. A little investment of your time can produce something satisfying, healthy and wonderful. Test!
