5 Benefits of Social Media

July 30, 2012

Most of the people are concerned about “How the social media helping us? What is the main functionality?” This is a question many of the social media handlers are unable to answer properly, because they always keep on justifying the contribution of social media. Effectiveness of social media is not limited to only sales-like numbers. Other than sales, social media contributes in many other ways. Businesses in modern days are inclined to these websites, as these are the best way to help them establish and grow.

Following are some of the advantages of social media other than sales.

– Creating Connections:

The use of social media websites in business is not only limited to the increasing sales, but the more important thing is making individual’s connections with the people, brands and organizations around the world. People who failed to understand how important it is, struggled through their initial and the most important part in the development of their organization. The more connections you make, the more you build your repute in the community of people. With this, social media enables you to enhance your relations with people. This guarantees your long-term value in the customers and reputation that sales cannot.

– Increasing Exposure:

By putting your name out in front using the social media websites, you are actually exposing your company in front of the people. This gives you a chance to actually exhibit your brand to the people and customers. This is considered to be a positive effort while enhancing the business. Sales, here as well, can’t guarantee you the publicity of the brand to new people or individuals, which social media websites definitely do.

– Developing Partnerships:

In the competition, everyone tries to get more sales so that they can be on the top. They neglect the fact that they need to expand their business. Doing partnerships with other brands and organization helps you to expand your business. In this way, you can increase your worth and popularity while selling your products. This can be only done with the social media websites.

– Enhancing SEO:

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) plays an important role in publishing your organization. Working as an individual makes you get searched by your web page only. On contrary to that, if you have your links and publishing on the social media website, you will get searched by those websites as well. The more you get searched, the more you drive traffic to your website and hence you get more views and more customers likewise.

– Fostering Leads:

When you develop an organization, you have to enhance and furnish it with new ideas and upcoming thoughts. The benefits stated above gives you a broader view about making your organization’s value and reputation in the community of the people. New ideas should be worked on and people and most importantly, customers’ opinions should be kept in mind. This helps to make you popular and earn a well-respected value in the community of people.

Bottom Line:

The main purpose of discussing the benefits mentioned above is to give you a clear view of the running market and give you an idea of new inventions. You should never be discouraged if you don’t able to make a lot of sales in the beginning, after sometime, it will gradually increase. Try to focus on the above mentioned facts so that you might increase your business in an efficient way.

Why You Should Not Use “Click Here” For Links

June 24, 2012

Click Here

Using “Click Here” on a link can affect how users experience your interface.

“Click” Puts Too Much Focus on Mouse Mechanics

Using the word “click” on your links takes the user’s attention away from your interface and on to their mouse. Users know what a link is and how to use a mouse. It’s unnecessary to call attention to the mechanics when clicking a link. Doing so diminishes their experience of your interface because it momentarily takes their focus away from it. Instead of focusing on the interface and its content, “click here” diverts their attention to the user and their mouse. Not to mention, you can also make them feel dumb by suggesting that they don’t know what a link is or how to use a mouse.

Instead of using the word “click”, look for a different verb you can use that relates to the user’s task. There’s always a better and more relevant verb to use than “click”. “Click” makes users think of their mouse. But a task-related verb makes users think of their task. It keeps users engaged with the content and focused on using the interface, not their mouse.

“Here” Conceals What Users are Clicking

Some links don’t use the word “click”, but instead they use the word “here”. The problem with using “here” in a link is that it conceals what the user is clicking. You may have text around the link that explains what they’re clicking, but when users read the link itself they won’t have a clue. This means that users have to read the text all around the link to understand the context of the link. This impedes users from taking the quick and short route of clicking the link directly because they have to read the surrounding text first. If there’s a lot of text, this could slow users down a lot.

Not only that, but If you have multiple links that say “here”, “here” and “here”. the user is going to have trouble differentiating between each link. The user has to open each of them to see how they’re different. If they want to refer back to a particular source, they have to remember which “here” link it belongs to. This forces them to have to use recall over simple recognition. What you should do instead is label your links with something that describes what the user is clicking so that it makes different links easier to distinguish.

The new, larger version of the Internet: IPv6

June 6, 2012

The next version of the Internet begins rolling out today.

The problem is that the current Internet addressing system, IPv4, only has room for about 4 billion addresses. The internet needs more IP addresses. IPv6 is the new version of the Internet Protocol and expands the number of available addresses to a virtually limitless amount–340 trillion trillion trillion addresses.
