Most of the people have joined these social networking communities. Recently I was reading an article: Companies planning to increase their social media spend. Having a profile in social networking websites is becoming necessity nowadays which also helps spreading word of mouth publicity about your brand…No doubt SMO is a great tool to spread brand awareness, seek advice and get noticed in the social media. But one thing which really bothers me is how SEO and SMO interact with each other. Let’s find out what they are and how are they related:Search Engine optimization (SEO) is the process of analyzing a website and modifying it to enable search engines to read, understand, and index it correctly. This dramatically increases the traffic to the web site.Social media optimization (SMO) consists of a set of methods for generating traffic on any website through social networking websites, business networking websites, online communities and blogs (macro blogging as well as micro blogging).<br />SEO and SMO both can be used to drive traffic to your website which in turn generate substantial leads your business<br />SMO is done to impress human being and SEO is done to impress search engine spiders. So in SMO we need to write impressive content to seek the attention of social media, whereas in SEO we write content for the website with proper usage of keywords grab the attention of search engine spiders.<br />For SEO we need to change the titles, metas headers etc of a website so the website gets modified whereas for SMO we use social networking websites to spread the brand of our website.<br />SEO has been emerged long time back whereas SMO has come into existence recently after 2005.<br />Any person with a little bit of knowledge of internet can do SMO whereas quality SEO can only be performed by SEO expert. Google really gives importance to Search engine optimization as it is directly associated with the page rank, which demonstrates the importance of the webpage in search engines whereas SMO is not at all related to the importance of the webpage.<br />The structure of the website is not so important when doing SMO, which is an essential aspect of SEO.<br />There are certain rules (which keep changing by Google) to perform SEO (example title, meta description, meta keywords, headers, alt tags etc), whereas for SMO there are no rules laid as such. Only thing one should keep in mind while doing SMO is that SMO is done to interest human being so one should never use social networking websites to directly sell something rather it should be utilized to make relationships with the prospective clients. Make it personal and interesting for others so that people would like to connect to you. So the key point is while doing SMO “keep it human”<br />SMO costs you nothing or it costs you very less whereas to get effective SEO services requires a lot of in-depth study as well as hard work so one should be ready to pay a fairly good amount for SEO of their website. Even though there are many cheap SEO companies have appeared recently in the market who barely knows anything about SEO but they provide cheap SEO services. They would just write metas and title and metas for their client’s website without doing any competitive analysis of keywords. Whereas expert SEO companies search out profitable keywords for the webpage. Profitable keywords are keywords that have a more amount of searches, but slight competition. This requires experience, lots of in-depth studies and analysis.<br />SEO is a long term strategy. Initially to get the results of SEO will take some time, but once you start getting visibility of set of keywords in the first page of search results, even after you stop taking the SEO services the results will stay there. Whereas SMO is an ongoing process you need to stay connected using social networking websites and keep doing macro blogging in order to be in search results.<br /> Search engine gives you instant result on any query whereas if you are asking some question through Social networking websites it will take some time, so if your website is well optimized you will get noticed quickly through search engine which is an added advantage of doing SEO.<br />When to initiate SEO and SMO: The basic aim of both SMO & SEO is to enhance traffic to the website which will help you grow your business. But the basic question which arises in one’s mind is when to start what? The answer is simple. One should start SEO first to ensure the first page visibility and then slowly dig into SMO, so that when your SMO users start looking for you have strong web presence in the search engines.How to increase the web presenceThere are various methods to increase visibility in Social media websites (Linkedin, facebook) like one can join various groups of common interests and then part take Q and A and discussions board etc. Or you can start following other people in social networking websites like tweeter and regularly post the tweets. By doing this you can establish yourself as a brand and personalize their relationship with their prospective clients.What is important SMO or SEOIn today’s age search engine has become bare necessity to find information on products, services or any other information. Still common man generally goes to search engine to find information on anything and then further refer Social networking websites to get feedback from different people.So Social networking websites can be used for brand monitoring, you can use social networking websites to keep track of what has been said about your company and so you can respond those feedbacks to give a personal touch to your customers and their opinions could be further used for discussions in your company.Now we can say that the importance of SEO will remain there. Social networking websites can be used to as a backup to get opinions, spread contacts which can get converted into business in future. Basically using SMO you can create a personal feel which is otherwise very difficult for you to create using SEO alone. SMO gives you opportunity to personally talk to your prospective clients and solve their queries as human being, which is really essential to get business but at the same time strong visibility in search engines is also essential.Combine SEO and SMO to grow your online businessSo we can conclude that optimizing your social media presence can positively trigger organic/natural search engine listings as search engines are paying attention to social networking websites. But without doing SEO the webpage doesn’t seek importance in search engine spiders.So my view is to combine SEO with SMO is the smarter way to grow your business. Do let me know your views, information about how SEO and SMO can be linked together in order to gain maximum output. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://yhkqdms.info/how-smo-interacts-with-seo/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Why Should I Use A Business Broker?</title> <link>https://yhkqdms.info/why-should-i-use-a-business-broker</link> <comments>https://yhkqdms.info/why-should-i-use-a-business-broker#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2023 12:04:37 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://yhkqdms.info/?p=56</guid> <description><![CDATA[You’ve come to the decision that buying a business or selling your business is the path that you want to take.

The best piece of advice, although biased, I can offer is to retain the services of a business broker or business transfer adviser. Although business brokers usually work on behalf of the seller, there are sell-side business brokers and buy-side advisers. Even if you’re a buyer and you decide not to retain the services of a business broker or transfer adviser, you’ll receive the benefits because a business broker is working with the seller.The broker is sort of like a clamp that holds things together as the business buyer and seller progress through the business transaction. Below I’m going to explain to you how both business seller and business buyer can and will benefit from the services of a business broker:Let’s meet-The good thing about the business broker is, the profession requires face to face meetings. Even though the broker is getting paid by the business seller, the buyer has to meet with the broker in order to view the business as well as so the broker can determine if the buyer is a compatible buyer for the business.The meeting will be an interview style meeting. Some of the questions that will be asked by the broker are:1- Can you go into detail about your background?2- Have you ever purchased a business3- Do you have easy access to the cash to buy a business?4- Can you show proof of proceeds on a recent bank statement?5- How soon are you willing to make a purchase?In addition to the question and answer portion, you’ll also be given a personal financial statement to fill out and return. Be sure you return this information as soon as possible.What usually takes place after this meeting is, the business broker will than present compatible business to the buyer. So come prepared with a recent bank statement showing the cash. Time is of great importance. Strike while the fire is hot and move with swiftness.Expect for the broker to ask you to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The business seller wants to ensure that the word about the business being for sale is kept quite.As the buyer, you’ll get to see very general financial information about the business of interest and others in the business broker has other businesses available. If you decide that you have serious interest in any of the businesses that are presented, the broker will provide you with more in-depth financial date and also arrange for you to see the business in person.The broker will act of the best point of contact for the buyer. Any questions or concerns that the buyer may have, the broker can answer all questions concerning the business.How the business broker helps the seller-If you’re the owner of a business and you’ve decided to sell, one of the best services that you can retain are the services of a business broker. The broker will oversee the entire process while you continue to run your business.The business broker will interview all of the buyers. This service by itself is worth the broker fee. Business brokers usually have access to a database of buyers that they’ve acquired over the years. These are buyers that have identified themselves are compatible and financially capable of buying a business. Having access to a list of buyers will speed up the process and help get the business sold while it’s still “hot.”The business broker will especially prepare a marketing plan for the business in question. A sales prospectus will take time to prepare but your broker will provide you with this required document. In addition, the broker will structure the deal as well as assist the completion of the paper work.Many owners don’t know how much their business is worth, therefore the broker can assist you with pricing your business. Te pricing of the business is just a starting point. The buyer will get an official appraisal. Between the 2 numbers, the negotiations will start there. Also, you want to ensure that your business is properly priced. You don’t want it to be overpriced not under priced A business that is priced right WILL SELL. The ultimate price of the business will be determined by what it sells for or as brokers like to say-the marketplace.The business broker is one of the most important advisers that a seller can have on their transaction team. This broker will bring their years of experience to the table. This will help both buyer and seller and ensure both parties walk away happy. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://yhkqdms.info/why-should-i-use-a-business-broker/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Saving Money Tips – Set an Entertainment Allowance</title> <link>https://yhkqdms.info/saving-money-tips-set-an-entertainment-allowance</link> <comments>https://yhkqdms.info/saving-money-tips-set-an-entertainment-allowance#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 27 Feb 2023 18:11:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://yhkqdms.info/?p=53</guid> <description><![CDATA[Don’t we all just love to be entertained?

There is nothing nicer than looking forward to going to the opera or attending a musical performance. We live in exciting times, as there are so many functions for us to participate in, that it can be difficult choosing what to attend and it can certainly be hard containing our spending habits.A lot of entertainment can be quite expensive and most times we don’t realise how much a night out actually costs us. You not only have the cost of the event, but usually these sort of social outings cost us money in other ways such as taxis, drinks, clothes etc.The best way to control the money that you do spend on entertainment is to set yourself a quarterly / yearly entertainment allowance. Below are some clues to help you do this.1. Work out what you would like to do over the next quarter / year:<br />Visit galleries / exhibitions <br /> Attend concerts / musical performances <br /> Watch opera / ballet / dance <br /> Attend pantomimes / theatre / shows / plays / musicals <br /> Attend film festivals <br /> Participate in balls / charity events <br /> Go to circus shows / live performances / comedy shows <br />2. Estimate how much the tickets / entrance fares are going to cost you.3. Spend time working out the ‘hidden extras’ so you know the full cost of the function / event. There are often costs to consider such as:<br /> Buying / hiring attire – formal / semi-formal outfits <br /> Attending the hairdresser / make up artist <br /> Paying for accommodation / flights <br /> Hiring a car / paying for taxis / parking fees <br /> Eating out / drinks <br />4. Tally up the whole cost of your entertainment. Look at your budget and ensure your quarterly / yearly entertainment allowance will fit in with your overall budget. Remember entertainment is a “want” and not a “need”. You have other priorities and financial commitments in your budget to allow you to meet your “needs”. These must be met before deciding where else you “want” to spend your money.5. If your quarterly / yearly entertainment allowance is above what you have available in your budget, look for some alternatives:<br />Buy a cheaper class of ticket e.g. B reserve instead of A reserve<br /> Go to a matinee showing instead of a night showing<br /> Find an outfit in your existing wardrobe instead of buying / hiring an outfit<br /> Get a friend / family member to do your hair / make up<br /> Eat before going out<br /> Drink water / juice / soft drinks instead of alcohol<br /> Attend events locally to save on airfares / accommodation / car hire<br /> Drive to avoid taxi fares<br /> Cut the number of events you expect to attend<br /> Find a cheaper option e.g. go to a local theatre to see a show, rather than a big performance centre<br />6. Find a way of monitoring what you do spend over the quarter / year. Use a software programme to record all of your costs for entertainment throughout the quarter / year. The programme should record how much you have spent and how much you still have left to spend. This will ensure you stay within your proposed budget.Entertainment need to be looked upon as a treat. We have mentioned earlier that entertainment is a “want” and not a “need”. The functions and events you attend should be looked upon as special times in your life that you can really look forward to. If you don’t consider them as a specialty / treat, then attending such events will become the normal. You will think of these activities as “must haves” instead of “nice to haves”. You will expect to go to them on a regular basis and you will find you spend lots and lots of money satisfying your wishes.Your money can only go so far. I am sure there are a lot of important things in your life that you are trying to achieve. This might be something on your wish list to buy, a holiday you want to go on, someone you wish to help financially etc. So, see if you can make a bit of a sacrifice with what you spend on your entertainment and start limiting what you spend over a quarter / year. You don’t need to cut entertainment out completely. You still need to have fun and look forward to special times, but ensure you do so whilst giving yourself an opportunity to meet your other goals and wishes. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://yhkqdms.info/saving-money-tips-set-an-entertainment-allowance/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Business Online Automation</title> <link>https://yhkqdms.info/business-online-automation</link> <comments>https://yhkqdms.info/business-online-automation#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 02 Feb 2023 20:30:11 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://yhkqdms.info/?p=51</guid> <description><![CDATA[The exponential growth of online business has created huge opportunities for millions of people who would love to work from the convenience of their own home as well as to compete globally.I used to be someone like many of you who is working for someone else to earn a living.

Success can be defined in so many ways.I used to be an expat executive until May 2 of 2012 when I started to divert my own belief to get engage with my own goal directly.

Unsecured loan does not require a borrower to put any collateral against the loan, thus accounts for a higher of interest.Where to get the Personal Loan from?Invention of Internet has revolutionized the whole finance industry.

But do you know which car loans to consider in the first place? If not, you need to read this article!When you are looking to buy a car, whether it is used or new, you may find that it is just a little more costly than you can afford. This can be either a disappointment or an opportunity. Auto loans can allow you to get that car now instead of waiting until later. They can also provide you with the chance to improve the credit you do have.Examine Your OptionsOne of the most important steps you can take in order to find good auto loans is to take your time and examine all your options. Many banks will offer loans that you can get with minimum hassle. Used car dealerships and new car dealerships are also known for carrying different car loans. Don’t limit yourself to the auto loans offered by the dealership from which you are buying the car.You need to have a good idea of the shape your credit is in before you attempt to get an auto loan. If you have a poor credit score, you may have to do a little more negotiating. You may not be able to get the loans you need if they are very large. However, this is where it pays to keep on trying.Don’t Be DeceivedAuto loans are available for everyone, not only those with perfect credit. If you are one of the few people who have great credit, be encouraged! You have a chance to get the best auto loans available. However, even those with perfect credit scores need to be warned about a few things. For one, there may be clauses built into the loans that bring a heftier price tag than you expect. Read every word of every page so you don’t get ripped off or end up paying a lot of penalties. Just because your lender claims a loan is best for you doesn’t necessarily mean that is true.Interest RatesThe other important aspect that you must consider is the interest rate. Interest that shoots up after a certain period is a serious problem of which you should be aware. Don’t be pulled into auto loans that have fancy interest rate changes. They will hit you when you are unprepared for the price hike.Some auto loans have a low monthly payment, but will drag on far beyond the time when the car is valuable. This is a very big mistake. You should get a loan that has payments you can handle, but that will not last too long. The best loan is one that you can pay off with ease and speed. You might think about making payments that are a little higher than you would have originally considered. This can help you get through with your loan more quickly and can cut down on the interest you end up paying.If you find that you just cannot make the payments on your car loan, you do have the option of refinancing. Many lenders have made a business out of refinancing auto loans, and they usually do a very good job of it.Again, be sure to look around at all your choices. When you are working on getting auto loans, you should try to negotiate the costs and the interest rates with your lender. This can often get your payments knocked down quite a bit! </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://yhkqdms.info/auto-loans-that-help-you-now/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>S&P 500 Rallies As U.S. Dollar Pulls Back Towards Weekly Lows</title> <link>https://yhkqdms.info/sp-500-rallies-as-u-s-dollar-pulls-back-towards-weekly-lows</link> <comments>https://yhkqdms.info/sp-500-rallies-as-u-s-dollar-pulls-back-towards-weekly-lows#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 26 Oct 2022 05:47:45 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Advertising]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Branding]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business Travel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Careers Employment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Consulting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Furnishings and Supplies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Industrial Mechanical]]></category> <category><![CDATA[International Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Interviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Networking]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sales Management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sales Training]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Security]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Small Business]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://yhkqdms.info/?p=42</guid> <description><![CDATA[Key Insights The strong pullback in the U.S. dollar provided significant support to stocks.

The U.S. dollar has recently gained strong downside momentum as the BoJ intervened to stop the rally in USD/JPY. Weaker U.S. dollar is bullish for stocks as it increases profits of multinational companies and makes U.S. equities cheaper for foreign investors.</p><p>The leading oil services company Schlumberger is up by 9% after beating analyst estimates on both earnings and revenue. Schlumberger’s peers Baker Hughes and Halliburton have also enjoyed strong support today.</p><p>Vaccine makers Pfizer and Moderna gained strong upside momentum after Pfizer announced that it will raise the price of its coronavirus vaccine to $110 – $130 per shot.</p><p>Biggest losers today include Verizon and Twitter. Verizon is down by 5% despite beating analyst estimates on both earnings and revenue. Subscriber numbers missed estimates, and traders pushed the stock to multi-year lows.</p><p>Twitter stock moved towards the $50 level as the U.S. may conduct a security review of Musk’s purchase of the company.</p><p>From a big picture point of view, today’s rebound is broad, and most market segments are moving higher. Treasury yields have started to move lower after testing new highs, providing additional support to S&P 500. It looks that some traders are ready to bet that Fed will be less hawkish than previously expected.</p><p>S&P 500 Tests Resistance At 3730</p><p>S&P 500 has recently managed to get above the 20 EMA and is trying to settle above the resistance at 3730. RSI is in the moderate territory, and there is plenty of room to gain additional upside momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.</p><p>If S&P 500 manages to settle above 3730, it will head towards the next resistance level at 3760. A successful test of this level will push S&P 500 towards the next resistance at October highs at 3805. The 50 EMA is located in the nearby, so S&P 500 will likely face strong resistance above the 3800 level.</p><p>On the support side, the previous resistance at 3700 will likely serve as the first support level for S&P 500. In case S&P 500 declines below this level, it will move towards the next support level at 3675. A move below 3675 will push S&P 500 towards the support at 3640.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://yhkqdms.info/sp-500-rallies-as-u-s-dollar-pulls-back-towards-weekly-lows/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>SPDN: An Inexpensive Way To Profit When The S&P 500 Falls</title> <link>https://yhkqdms.info/spdn-an-inexpensive-way-to-profit-when-the-sp-500-falls</link> <comments>https://yhkqdms.info/spdn-an-inexpensive-way-to-profit-when-the-sp-500-falls#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 26 Oct 2022 05:47:11 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://yhkqdms.info/?p=40</guid> <description><![CDATA[Summary SPDN is not the largest or oldest way to short the S&P 500, but it’s a solid choice.

Many investors assume the only way to navigate a potentially long-term bear market is to hide in cash, day-trade or “just hang in there” while the bear takes their retirement nest egg.</p><p>The Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X ETF (NYSEARCA:SPDN) is one of a class of single-inverse ETFs that allow investors to profit from down moves in the stock market.</p><p>SPDN is an unleveraged, liquid, low-cost way to either try to hedge an equity portfolio, profit from a decline in the S&P 500, or both. We rate it a Strong Buy, given our concern about the intermediate-term outlook for the global equity market.</p><p>Strategy<br />SPDN keeps it simple. If the S&P 500 goes up by X%, it should go down by X%. The opposite is also expected.</p><p>Proprietary ETF Grades<br />Offense/Defense: Defense</p><p>Segment: Inverse Equity</p><p>Sub-Segment: Inverse S&P 500</p><p>Correlation (vs. S&P 500): Very High (inverse)</p><p>Expected Volatility (vs. S&P 500): Similar (but opposite)</p><p>Holding Analysis<br />SPDN does not rely on shorting individual stocks in the S&P 500. Instead, the managers typically use a combination of futures, swaps and other derivative instruments to create a portfolio that consistently aims to deliver the opposite of what the S&P 500 does.</p><p>Strengths<br />SPDN is a fairly “no-frills” way to do what many investors probably wished they could do during the first 9 months of 2022 and in past bear markets: find something that goes up when the “market” goes down. After all, bonds are not the answer they used to be, commodities like gold have, shall we say, lost their luster. And moving to cash creates the issue of making two correct timing decisions, when to get in and when to get out. SPDN and its single-inverse ETF brethren offer a liquid tool to use in a variety of ways, depending on what a particular investor wants to achieve.</p><p>Weaknesses<br />The weakness of any inverse ETF is that it does the opposite of what the market does, when the market goes up. So, even in bear markets when the broader market trend is down, sharp bear market rallies (or any rallies for that matter) in the S&P 500 will cause SPDN to drop as much as the market goes up.</p><p>Opportunities<br />While inverse ETFs have a reputation in some circles as nothing more than day-trading vehicles, our own experience with them is, pardon the pun, exactly the opposite! We encourage investors to try to better-understand single inverse ETFs like SPDN. While traders tend to gravitate to leveraged inverse ETFs (which actually are day-trading tools), we believe that in an extended bear market, SPDN and its ilk could be a game-saver for many portfolios.</p><p>Threats<br />SPDN and most other single inverse ETFs are vulnerable to a sustained rise in the price of the index it aims to deliver the inverse of. But that threat of loss in a rising market means that when an investor considers SPDN, they should also have a game plan for how and when they will deploy this unique portfolio weapon.</p><p>Proprietary Technical Ratings<br />Short-Term Rating (next 3 months): Strong Buy</p><p>Long-Term Rating (next 12 months): Buy</p><p>Conclusions<br />ETF Quality Opinion<br />SPDN does what it aims to do, and has done so for over 6 years now. For a while, it was largely-ignored, given the existence of a similar ETF that has been around much longer. But the more tenured SPDN has become, the more attractive it looks as an alternative.</p><p>ETF Investment Opinion</p><p>SPDN is rated Strong Buy because the S&P 500 continues to look as vulnerable to further decline. And, while the market bottomed in mid-June, rallied, then waffled since that time, our proprietary macro market indicators all point to much greater risk of a major decline from this level than a fast return to bull market glory. Thus, SPDN is at best a way to exploit and attack the bear, and at worst a hedge on an otherwise equity-laden portfolio.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://yhkqdms.info/spdn-an-inexpensive-way-to-profit-when-the-sp-500-falls/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>S&P 500 Biotech Giant Vertex Leads 5 Stocks Showing Strength</title> <link>https://yhkqdms.info/sp-500-biotech-giant-vertex-leads-5-stocks-showing-strength</link> <comments>https://yhkqdms.info/sp-500-biotech-giant-vertex-leads-5-stocks-showing-strength#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 26 Oct 2022 05:46:54 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://yhkqdms.info/?p=38</guid> <description><![CDATA[Your stocks to watch for the week ahead are Cheniere Energy (LNG), S&P 500 biotech giant Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX), Cardinal Health (CAH), Steel Dynamics (STLD) and Genuine Parts (GPC).
