About Me
I am a freelance SEO copywriter and web content writer. Examples of copy/content written for B2B portals, content providers, technical blogs and marketing services can be seen below. Many have sparked discussions and appraisals that have broadened the exposure of the sites. My new business called ClickForSEO has launched. Its purpose is to help marketers promote their products online through a site that offers an article directory for posting promotional content, and access to the best SEO tips and tools. The focus of the site is on article marketing, that being organic methods for the best link building strategies. Currently, I am writing articles for iEntry - a B2B web media service and popular ebusiness portal comprising content on web development (PHP, JavaScript, CSS, AJAX), design, hardware, IT news, viral electronics, and SEO tips. My role involves managing the content for several sites within a large publications network by submitting SEO optimized information that creates a buzz around the subject matter. Additionally, I prepared web content, brochures, a press release and newsletters for a marketing firm last year on Cisco products. As this project is nearing completion, I am offering my content writing services that include writing fresh content and rewriting any articles that require a new perspective. My rates include the costs of a web marketing plan, a SEM strategy to create an interest in your brand (or client brands). 10 Web Search Engine Ranking Tips to Improve Traffic Conversions http://www.seowebtips.com/10-web-search-engine-ranking-tips-to-improve-traffic-conversions/ How To Plan Your SEO Strategy With Effective Targeting http://www.seowebtips.com/how-to-plan-your-seo-strategy-with-effective-targeting/ What is the ROI on Green Information Technology (IT)? http://www.techdune.com/2009/04/28/what-is-the-roi-on-green-information-technology-it/ Online Tools That Will Help Your SEO Strategy http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Search-Engine-Optimization-Help/Online-Tools-That-Will-Help-Your-SEO-Strategy/ Effective Keyword Choice Strategy and Useful Tools http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Choosing-Keywords-Help/Effective-Keyword-Choice-Strategy-and-Useful-Tools/ Which CMS should I choose ? http://www.developerfox.com/which-cms-should-i-choose/1451 Stylish Bluetooth with The Nokia BH-900 Bluetooth Headset http://www.viralelectronics.com/2009/08/04/stylish-bluetooth-with-the-nokia-bh-900-bluetooth-headset/ Will the Sony Mobile Phone Combine with PSP gaming? http://www.viralelectronics.com/2009/07/16/will-the-sony-mobile-phone-combine-with-psp-gaming/ Gamers Choice - G15 vs. Zboard http://www.techdune.com/2009/04/10/gamers-choice-g15-vs-zboard/ To Upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 or Not To Upgrade – That Is the Question http://www.acomment.net/to-upgrade-to-internet-explorer-8-or-not-to-upgrade-%E2%80%93-that-is-the-question/727 Top 5 CSS Tools That Designers Should Add To Their Arsenal http://www.developerfox.com/top-5-css-tools-that-designers-should-add-to-their-arsenal/1164 Top 10 Photoshop Addons For Today’s Competitive Designer http://www.developerfox.com/top-10-photoshop-addons-for-today%E2%80%99s-competitive-designer/1397 CSS Vs No CSS in Web Site Development http://www.webupon.com/Web-Design/CSS-Vs-No-CSS-in-Website-Development.501733 Designing The Elements Of A Web Page http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Web-Design-Standards/Designing-the-Elements-of-a-Web-Page/ How To Create a Vortex Swirl Effect http://www.acomment.net/how-to-create-a-vortex-swirl-effect/821 Content is King: Information Architecture http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Choosing-Keywords-Help/Content-is-King-Information-Architecture/ As my background and experience is within technical and business writing, I can cover these industries in depth: Web Development, Technology, Gadget Reviews, IT Solutions and Software Reviews.

Top Web Analytics Review On Website Visitor Tracking Tools

October 21st 2009 09:33
For this web analytics review, I shall inform you on how Website visitor tracking tools have become a core marketing tool for all businesses today. Website visitor tracking tools are needed to be able to:

1. drive traffic
2. gain a visitor tracking system
3. view reports on visitor browsing dates and times
4. optimize content to be search engine friendly
5. place your site into the top 10 listing on Google for the search terms being used to find your information.

By focusing on your chosen niche, businesses can establish expert status within their niche by finding that targeted website visitor. Tracking is the juicy part of this web analytics review, so here goes.

There is a real-time element missing from most web marketing campaigns. What is that person doing - your website visitor? Tracking systems reveal this crucial information.

The most important reason for using a website visitor tracking tool is that it is important to understand why visitors want to browse your site and what retains them. If some leave, why did they leave? The success of your business is dependent on your knowledge of your surfing customers looking for products and services like yours.

Website visitor tracking tools allow web site owners to actually watch how their visitors browse. The advantage is that bad site trends such as - why was that skipped, the form was not filled in, or gone in 60 seconds and never to return - can be prevented every day.

Do you know the browsing trends of your everyday website visitor? Tracking tools can reveal to you all aspects of your target audience? Visit the link in my bio for a web analytics review on the best tracking product in the market to help you know your visitor browsing trends. The site at http://www.clickforseo.com also introduces you to the two best article marketing services. Picking one of those along with the tracking tool is very crucial to your web marketing success:

1. Website visitor tracking systems allow you to record browsing sessions and gain a real-time view of what is interesting or perplexing to visitors.
2. The importance of website visitor tracking lies within knowing what interests your visitors. What do they want? What do they really want from your site?
3. You may have asked yourself - Why did no conversions occur last month? Traffic does not mean conversions. Is the traffic relevant? Are your visitors finding your site as a result of a relevant search on Google?
4. Did you try to dupe your visitors into your web site using unrelated content? You will be sure to see a recording lasting a few seconds.
5. What is wrong with your site? You have done all the seo optimization tasks - blogs, high traffic articles, great bios, slick copy-writing on landing pages. So why are your conversions so low? Did a page fail to load? Your website visitor tracking tool will reveal the problems.

Top Reason For Using Website Visitor Tracking Systems: Do not hazard a guess on the interest in your website; visitor tracking systems reveal the problems so you can action the solutions or you will lose traffic and credibility to your competitors.

You need to fill in the gap and observe your target audience. Be fully aware of your visitor browsing habits. This will allow you to gain an accurate insight on how to improve your site usability and niche power using website visitor tracking software.

Website visitor tracking tools allow you to record visitor browsing sessions thus preventing your business from losing customers. You gain access to a real-time view of your visitors so you can correct any issues before those issues cost you conversions.

e-learning 2.0

February 3rd 2009 21:35
E-learning has been around for at least a decade. Traditionally e-learning has either complemented existing classroom teaching by means of a Learning Management System such as Blackboard or WebCT, or in the case of online learning, it has been the delivery method itself.

With online learning everything from the delivery of course material to testing and grading is done by means of the online learning system. The structure of a course and the way that it is taught still remains pretty much the same with the main difference being that here there are no live classes, so classes / lectures have to be delivered through some online mechanism (ex: video streaming).

As such there has been no emphasis on utilizing the characteristics of the Web (things which are not possible in a real classroom, such as connectivity through hyper-links) to enable learning. Email, user forums, online test taking etc. have been used but full potential of the Web has not been realized.

This may be considered as e-learning 1.0.

Some of the things that make Web 2.0 what it is, are the things which make Web 2.0 attractive for e-learning purposes. Essentially the concepts of interactivity (between the user and web-based content) and interconnectivity (between various web-based content) are what specifically characterize Web 2.0.

A considerable amount of user generated information or content is also a hallmark of all things Web 2.0, the concept that a web site or say a web space is a comfortable environment that facilitates communication between users and therefore fosters information exchange.

The website needs to be able to maintain that information and make it accessible to a large number of users. Blogging, Social Networking, Wikis and file sharing then are essential Web 2.0 applications that make it suitable for e-learning. E-learning 2.0 is the term used to describe this new generation of e-learning solutions.

e-learning 2.0 as an aid to traditional learning
The first thing to consider is of course to see how e-learning 2.0 can be beneficial to traditional learning. In the foreseeable future a significant application of online learning is still going to be as an addition to traditional learning.

Already several instructors in colleges and schools alike are relying on Web 2.0 applications as learning aids. Blogging is a way for not only the instructor to make additional information available to students but also provides an opportunity for the instructor, through student blogging to observe student thinking and development (ex: a journal format).

Blogging also enables students to exchange thoughts and opinions with classmates in a more effective manner. Similarly, Wikis can be an information resource for the course, which can expand as the course progresses with instructor and student input. Moreover, these resources can continue to build upon themselves in subsequent semesters (for continuing courses, or for future repeats of the same course).

File sharing functions as a way for the instructor to deliver important files with students and vice versa. As opposed to an LMS a more open and free environment for file sharing can be established using Web 2.0 tools. Podcasting already is a popular means of delivering lectures and presentations.

The ubiquity of the iPod has made it a viable e-learning platform. Finally, Social Networking enables a class to stay in touch at all times, including the instructor. Elgg.org (http://www.elgg.org) is a social network specifically geared towards education and Ning (http://education.ning.com/) is increasingly being used as a social networking framework for education purposes .

e-learning 2.0 as a standalone e-learning environment
Obviously the things discussed in the previous section apply equally well to a standalone e-learning environment. Other Web 2.0 utilities such as calendars (shared or otherwise), office productivity suites and collaborative tools (document, spreadsheet editing etc.), classroom organizers, grading software etc. are also applicable to any e-learning environment (with a standalone system these are absolutely critical to maintain synchronization between the instructor and students).

When we begin considering the growth and development of educator / instructor networksi we are gradually moving into an environment that super cedes a traditional learning environment. The collaboration and information exchange possible here is resulting in a whole new learning environment.

Students can now rightfully be remotely located without losing out on the educational experience, because in a standalone e-learning environment all learning delivery is online.

The use of Virtual Worlds such as Second Life has given rise to a new Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) which is certainly more beneficial to a pure e-learning environment where its use is essential.

There is a gradual push towards the creation of learning communities rather than information dissemination coming from an authority figure (the instructor) to his / her subjects (the students). In this sense, the move to e-learning 2.0 is very much a pedagogical shift as it is technological.
