			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Am I seeing this correctly?  Apple is actually entering into conversations with Microsoft to discuss the possibility of using it&#8217;s Bing search engine as the default browser over Google?  Can this be true?  There must be something true to this <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jan2010/tc20100119_759795.htm">buzz</a> because there are several stories referencing this news on the internet.  Financially, if this is true, this could be a big blow to Google because they are currently generating revenue from being the default browser, and this could be potentially going to Microsoft.  Something like this is not really surprising me too much because in recent months/year Google and Apple have been neck and neck on who has the &#8220;best&#8221; smartphone.<br />
Could this be a low blow to Google if it gets removed from the iphones?  I would say absolutely yes!  Let&#8217;s see if this is just a lot of smoke blowing, or the beginning of a cyber WAR .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Believe it or not, Apple iTunes might have some competition coming from some new/old players in town!<br />
In recent <a href="http://www.internetnews.com/search/article.php/3844796/Googles+Next+Move+A+Music+Service.htm">news</a>, rumors are rumbling about Google possibly getting into the music service business.   Potentially, with search results there could be an opportunity to purchase music from your favorite artist.  This is big for Google and possibly something Apple will need to worry about.<br />
If it wasn&#8217;t enough having recent news about Google and music services, Facebook is now in the <a href="http://www.internetnews.com/ec-news/article.php/3845176/Facebooks+Got+Rhythm+Starts+Music+Sales.htm">news</a> for it&#8217;s interest in music sales too!  This is no rumor because Facebook has already started selling music in it&#8217;s online gift store.  This is great news with the idea of how innovative online companies are trying to be, however possibly a little nerve racking for the online music mogul- Apple iTunes.  May the music race BEGIN!!!!</p>

<p>It seems Google is trying to make life a little easier for those utilizing their search engine.  According to <a href="http://www.bizreport.com/2009/05/google_to_boost_search_listings_with_rich_snippets.html">BizReport.com</a>, &#8220;New search technology was showcased by Google at the latest Searchology event. One of the products, Rich Snippets, aims to prevent searchers clicking through multiple sites before finding exactly what they want. Google has researched the product with consumers and concluded that it would be useful.&#8221;  Website owns might think that this is going to affect their visitor count, however Google explains that this new technology will allow the website owners to provide a brief summary in their &#8220;snippet&#8221; listing that will be more informative at a quick glance.  This will then potentially provide even a more targeted customer to their website, because they have already read the detailed listing while doing their search.  A more targeted customer to the website will potentially = more conversions/sales.<br />
Once again, Google managing to strive to do better AND better!  Heck if you dominate the world like they do, there is nothing else to do but to continue to try and improve your current product(s).  I look forward to seeing this roll out, to then see how helpful it makes searching for my favorite topic.  Great work!</p>

<p>Running an effective business you now have to have a website to help promote it worldwide.  However, creating a good website is not enough, you have to have it promoted in the internet&#8217;s search engines.  This is something easier said than done.  Creating a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy is very important on getting that desired traffic to your website.  I thought this was a good basic <a href="http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Search-Engine-Optimization-Help/Ten-SEO-Guidelines/">article</a> about some things to really pay attention to.</p>
<p>1.   Most prospects to your website will be coming from search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask etc).<br />
2.   Well known search engines work the best.<br />
3.   Most prospects use phrases, not single words, to do a search on the search engines.<br />
4.   Track the prospects experience on your website.<br />
5.   Optimize using more than just one search engine.<br />
6.   Check and analyze the results of your tracking/reporting.<br />
7.   Use results from tracking to update your site where needed.<br />
8.   Prospects rarely go beyond the first or second page of in the search engine results.  Work to get on those pages in order to benefit from your SEO strategy.<br />
9.   Keyword density is a major part of the ranking of your website.<br />
10.  Successful keyword placement.</p>
<p>Having our website, and our publisher&#8217;s websites, ranked high in the search engines is key to getting the traffic to get leads.  Leadpile Lead Exchange believes quantity is not necessarily the key to success, but quality is.    </p>

<p>A large portion of online advertising is done through search engines.  However, getting ranked <strong>HIGH</strong> on the search engines is every company&#8217;s goal.  Unfortunately, it is easier said than done to get ranked well.<br />
According to <a href="http://www.onlineadvertising.net/index.html">onlineadvertisting.net</a>, there are some facts regarding search engine ranking:</p>
<p>                     1.  80% of consumers click on the first 3 listing in the search engine listings.<br />
                     2.  54% of consumers will only look at the first page of results.<br />
                     3.  19% of consumers actually click through to the 2nd page of results.<br />
                     4.  10% of consumers got to the third page of search results.</p>
<p>To really be effective you have to be listed well on the major search engines.  However, businesses sometimes do not have the resources or money to get there.  The key is to do your research.  Search  engine optimization companies are out there to help businesses understand how to get ranked higher.  Unfortunately, like what makes up a credit score&#8230;.. EVERYTHING that makes up your search engine ranking, is an unknown.<br />
Search engine rankings are a key factor when dealing with lead generation and Leadpile Lead Exchange.  The advertisers often times don&#8217;t want to deal with SEO (search engine optimization) or PPC (pay per click campaigns), so they turn to a more effective source for potential customers.  They turn to Leadpile&#8217;s lead sellers.  Many of our sellers are experts on getting ranked well on the search engines and other forms of online advertising.  We are a common place for both sides to come together.  </p>
