How to Create A Business Fan Page On Facebook

It is true that Facebook is a temptation for anyone, even for a freelancer or SME, go if it is ... more than 500 million registered users, of which about 14 million live in Spain or in other words 29% of Spanish population has a Facebook profile (data from May 2011).

The other day a friend told me ... Hey! That we are on Facebook!, Referring to his store. I know that behind this initiative no marketing plan or goals, or anything like that. The step has been taken, whatever the trigger that prompted him to do so, the company of my friend is now on Facebook. Right now this is what counts, period.

Come if you like to go over some points that are essential to understand before taking this step.

    Do not mistake one profile with a Fan Page (Fan Pages).
    The Facebook Fan Pages are created for:
        Place or Local Business
        Company, organization or institution
        Brand or Product
        Artist, band or public figure
        Entertainment
        Cause or Community
    The profile is for people and aims to find friends, share photos of parties and others. Used to find out what your friends want you to find out and why not say, to gossip a little.
    The High-Profile form ie a person, ask date of birth, name, sex ... this is not data specific to a brand or company right?
    A Fan Page is a more corporate, no friends, there are fans.
    A Fan page, used to communicate with the followers of your business, for example to advertise new products, special offers, etc..
    Setting permissions and privacy is much simpler in Fan Pages in the profiles.
    The content of Fan Pages are indexed by Google, the contents of the Profiles no.
    Of course your friends may be fans of your business page, but on the wall of your company will not see messages such as "Mario is now friends with Mary"
    Use this form to register your company, brand, business or your musical group on Facebook.

My recommendations:

    If you are adding your business on Facebook does not use the same email account with which they walk into your personal profile, use another.
    Once you have created the fan page, fill in the basic information tab. With a description of your business, do not forget the timing, location map, etc..
    The logo is essential.
    Respond to all comments you come through the wall of your page.
    Use straightforward language and close to communicate with your followers.
    It offers quality information ... offers, new campaigns, etc.. This is what will make a difference with respect to competition, which incidentally is also on Facebook.

Some marketing:

    Your initial goal is to make your brand more people know her as well as loyalty.
    When you are able to reach 25 fans, you can put a logical username to your Fan Page, for example www.facebook.com / andante772. Meanwhile you have is a url rather complex and difficult to communicate to customers of your store.
    When you have your username use it on your bills, your communication by mail, in your radio ads, on the label of your business, cars, etc..
    A good trick is to think that where post advertisements for the phone number of your business must also address the Facebook page.
    If you have a blog you must pair it with your Facebook page, this way it will post on the blog to Facebook automatically.
    If you have a website should be well placed the link to the Facebook page.
   Think that Facebook is a new way of communication with your customers and followers, therefore this condition the maximum squeezing.
    Inside your business, make visible this new Facebook address for customers who visit you.

Postscript. Unfortunately my friend created a profile and not a fan page for your company, is going more work than necessary and also its content will not be found by Google, to see what I say ... or better ... read it here. But ... branded tachaaann! Recommended readings have a link that explains how to convert a profile to a fan page!

The first is sharing, there is no doubt that this new space represents all a platform to share photos, videos, milestones and all we want to communicate the business. The second is to let you know by logos (logos) to be recognized by your followers and customers and aims to take you to your Google+ page.

All about redirecting domains
The aim of Google with this change is simply to allow the application of local laws of each country regarding possible violations blog content. Although you as blog administrator you are in Spain, the content of your blog can be censored if such legislation violates Argentina. In that case can be locked to the readers of that country, remaining accessible to the rest.

The country redirect the reader function is automatic and does not need to do any change in your Blogger settings.

Although in practice the blog administration 'work does not affect us as we continue going through this change of domain Blogger by country, brings with it some problems that you list them later.

I have seen fit to inform you of these changes and to gather in this post resources and ideas that can be giving solution to different incidents. Here are the highlights:
Problems with the buttons on Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin counters to zero
The first sign of change by country domain is that social buttons show a zero. This is because everything that has been shared so far pointed to blogspot.com and not the new. Blogspot.com.es (Spain). If the code of your social buttons trickBlog've obtained, follow these steps to resolve this issue:

    Go to the Template tab
    Click the Create button Backup / Restore to create a copy
    Press the Edit HTML button
    Click Formated Template
    Search using Ctrl F or Ctrl B (Mac in Mac ⌘ ⌘ F or B) and this:

    expr: data-url = 'data: post.url'

    Replace carefully the findings of this one:

    expr: data-url = 'data: post.canonicalUrl'

If you have these buttons associated with each post, check the complete procedure and updated. Button Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Print / export to PDF
It appears the quick edit button Gadgets
It is another consequence of this change, for solved at least temporarily displays your blog (you must be identified) and removes url.'s (Spain) and put / ncr. Example: www.miblog.blogspot.com / ncr

One last tip, variety is the spice, so create your hobbies and tastes in parallel with the boards of your blog.

Create A Contact Form For Blogger

In our blog we've created multiple entries, so we connected with Google Analytics and have sent the Sitemap with WebMaster Tools. Now we will add a new element extremely important, a contact form ...
To achieve this new goal we will use another Google service, called Google Docs. This service allows you to create and share through Internet text documents, spreadsheets, slide presentations, drawings and forms.

The form designer Google Docs so we will create a number of fields such as name, email, comments and finally provides the HTML code, integrate into a new blog page.

Create and insert a contact form on the blog

Step 1. Connect to Google Docs
Step 2. If the user interface is in English you follow these steps:

Step 7. Copy the code, return to blogger
Step 8. Create a new page (not post) with the title "Contact"
Step 9. In the "Edit HTML" editing paste the code copied from the form

Notes: If you have a page navigation menu, the new page will automatically be added as it is at this blog. If not, write to link to the new page and put the link in a prominent blog.

You can further improve the design of the form (new fields, template ...) and this is automatically updated in our blog page.

Enabling email notifications
For every form submitted, the system creates a new record in a spreadsheet automatically. Follow these steps to configure the notification system and alert you by email that you have a new contact.

How Avoid The Same Description On Google Search

In this article we look at how to keep our post with the same description in Google result page, thus improving the SEO of our blog.


At Blogger you can indicate a description of the blog on the Settings tab and then description. This is highly recommended, but you must make a simple change to the HTML template so that this disclosure affects only the main blog address leaving as a description of each post the first paragraph of the same (156 characters), for this we will use a Simple conditional.

Do a search of your blog on Google to see if there is a problem

    In the search key Google Site: laurldetublog.blogspot.com
    Analyze the result. Here is a picture where you can see the problem



If you have configured Google WebMaster Tools, go to the Diagnostics tab and then click HTML suggestions and see where it says meta description should show the number of posts containing the same description. This is what we will address in this post.

Note: As you can see in the picture above, the description is the same in every post.

Steps to prevent all post show the same description

    Go to the Template tab and click Edit HTML button
    Find (Ctrl F or Ctrl B) this line in the code: CDATA [/ *
    Copy the following code and paste it just before the position where the previous line encontrastes:

    cond='data:blog.url <b:if data:blog.homepageUrl'> ==
       <meta content='Aquí must indicate the description of your blog' name='description'/>
    </ B: if>

Note: This code snippet should be in the head section ... </ head> blog. If you already have a fragment description is just add the condition.

Although it is a topic that is discussed in their day through this page, I have seen fit to make a post because of the importance from SEO perspective. Remember also that this issue (description and duplicate titles) is reported by the Webmaster Tools.

After applying the change to the template may take 1-2 weeks to see the new descriptions on the Google results page.

Finally thank the initiative of several followers of iniciaBlog for proposing this topic.

As always, I invite you to use comments to leave your opinion on this article.

How To Place A Chat On Blogger

A chat on the blog ... and for what. Imagine you have a toy store and also have a blog where public input on the characteristics of each item. You may receive messages such chattering stuffed animals do you get? Imagine now that you can chat with people who are watching the blog ...

There are many gadgets, widgets or plugins ... but personally, I remember one using at the time, and it worked. Plugoo is called, have a free version and you can chat from MSN Messenger, Google Talk (Gmail chat) and others.

This entry is a bit long ... are you ready?

We must be clear that there are two sections, first the chat embedded in the Blog or Web and other service we use to answer the questions. In this exercise we will use the Gmail chat.

Section 1. Embed the chat on the blog:
Step 1. Enter Plugoo
Step 2. Team Talk (or to create best in your case)
Step 3. Indicates username IM Gmail account might associate this service
Step 4. Fill in the registration
Step 5. Once inside the service, go to the tab "My widgets" and customize the chat object
Step 6. Copy the code below
Step 7. In my case I have HTML code is stuck on the same input, but it makes sense that this in the blog sidebar. This will always be visible.

Note that you can customize the appearance, width, height, text, colors, etc.. Also if Gmail account chatting serving is connected, it displays a green icon, otherwise red (closed the store to get something to eat). In these cases you can set it to act as a contact form, wonderful!.

Chat and running embedded in this blog post
Remember, if I'm not in the "toy store" you will see a red icon in the top left.


Section 2. Reply using Gmail account
To chat, you need to be connected to Gmail, login to your account active as long chat (chat link gets activated at the bottom of the messages received). On the left you have people to chat online with ... and see a new friend named MyPlugoo.

How to Include a Print Button on Each Blog Post?

Depending on what type of blogs can make much sense to print a button associated with each entry. Imagine a blog of recipes or craft blog. Besides we can also print PDF download post.

Of all the services I recommend PrintFriendly evaluated (click to see the print button standard service). You can customize the button and get a code for Web, Blogger and WordPress. Once set, clicking opens a new window PrintFriendly as if it were a preview. The user can choose to print, export to PDF or send by email. You can even remove text. We also explain how to put it on the blog (step 7 later in this tutorial).

Once seen, if the result is what you expect you're done. If instead you want to improve the code or customize the icon with another chart keep reading.

Steps to improve PrintFriendly code and add a custom icon

    1.Get the print icon. I recommend the service www.iconfinder.net
    2. Choose either the size of the icon, I select is 24px * 24px
    3.Download in PNG format to your computer
    4. Now we host the PNG. I recommend Google Sites (as we saw when we talk about social icons on the blog), which allows you to create a website and host files and then access them from the blog, follow these steps:

• Enter Google Sites
•  Open your site or create a new one (remember that the site you have to be public)

• Go to Manage Site option from which you can upload attachments.

• Add the printer icon you have chosen.

    5.Now look at the PrintFriendly Enhanced HTML (a single bond):

        <a expr:href='"http://www.printfriendly.com/print?url=" + data:post.canonicalUrl' target='_blank'> <img alt = 'Print or Export PDF' src = 'https://sites.google.com/site/iniciablog/PDF24.png' /> </ a>

             As selected in the red since indicate the url of your site and the PNG
       
    6.Copy the snippet of HTML to a notebook to customize it.
    7. When you have it, copy it and go to the Template tab and then HTML Editor
    8. For safety make a copy of the template "Download Full Template".

    9.Search <b:include data='post' name='shareButtons'/> (use internal search ).Press CTRL + F
    10.Paste the code you copied right below the line you have found.
    11.Save the template and view the blog.


On my case the meaning of that button is that you can serve you and apply it successfully. Leave your comments. Thank you.

Bing's Webmaster Tools

Image via CrunchBase

Like Google, Microsoft also has its own specific tools for webmaster. The truth is that almost a month after publishing the first post of ciudadblogger.info, indexing the same in Bing (Microsoft's search engine) is extremely poor, so try the tools proposed by Microsoft.

The first thing we do is to know the comparison of our site in the two search engines, it will use this tool bingle.nu which returns the search result in Bing and Google search engine simultaneously.

There are two ways to submit your site to Bing. The first is to use this simple form, where you enter the corresponding url and ready.

The second and most recommended method is using the Microsoft Webmaster Tools

Step 1. - Access to tools for Microsoft
Step 2. - Click on the "Sign in to use webmaster tool" (identification)
Step 3. - You must use a Windows Live ID (Hotmail)
Step 4. - Once inside, add the site indicating the URL of your blog
Step 5. - You should check it, ideally using HTML code for the HEAD section of the Blog: To insert this verification code, do the following:

    Go to the Template tab and click on Edit HTML button
    Search using Ctrl F or Ctrl B this line in the code: <b:skin> <! [CDATA [/ *
    Paste the code snippet you should get Bing tools just before the line you found in the previous step
    Save the template

Now and track expected within a week.

In this post I have explained the procedure for the case of Bing. In subsequent posts, we will deepen more. The truth is, that both criteria idexación search engines are not the same, although Google seems to "reward" blogs, not so with Bing. On the other hand we see that Google indexes each page, while Bing only follow the main page while using the free domain gives you Blogger, ie. Blogspot.com

Blogger Template Designer

Time to talk about the overall design of your blog. At this point there are two ways, using the template designer blogger or incorporate a predesigned template ...

The truth is that before the appearance of the template designer blogger (March 2010) was practically mandatory search a predesigned template for blog, which would allow us to identify quickly.

First thing we do is to analyze the different elements that form part of the structure of our blog.

     The General Fund blog. It can be a color or an image
     Header. It can be a text, an image or a combination of both. Remember that there is a Gadget to configure this section.
     Menu links or pages. Typically located after the header. Allows navigation through the blog and its pages. Remember you can create up to 10 pages for example to a web form, a guestbook, etc..
     The body. Formed by a zone where entries are posted and usually a vertical zone to the right of the entrance.
     The foot. It can consist of several blocks and will be positioned below the body of the blog

Then there are other elements such as typeface, etc.. All these aspects can be configured directly from the designer templates. With the added advantage that you can change on the fly any of these items, including the structure of the body (1 columa, 2 columns) foot or blog

For your reference, this blog has been improved using the blogger template designer. Everything you see, including the font were selected using this tool.

Here you have the video you used Google to announce this news (English)


Remember to start using the latest in Blogger before it is available to all users can access the administrator using http://blogger.com http://draft.blogger.com instead. Once you have accessed through draft will ask if you want to use as default desktop draft.

Analysis and advice On Blogger Comments on Google+

English: Google+ wordmark (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 In this publication we will make an analysis of this change, the impact of which is from the point of view of the administration of the blog, for the impact it has for readers and also the scope of this novelty.


Blogger and Google+, Google+ and Blogger does not matter the order, the fact is that Google+ is Google's bid to compete to enter fully into the world of social networks and where they go most of new company developments . Sooner or later different service and products are integrated with Google+ iran.

One Tip Solution To Solve Google Sitemap Feed Proxy Errors

Most or all know how to submit your blog sitemap to Google if not you can Google for it and can find a lot of tutorials on this single topic but something that most of you might have observed are the Google Sitemap Errors! How do you solve them? Why so many errors when you have done everything the right way? The answer is simple , read on.

What actually happens is the fact that most bloggers burn their feeds at feedburner despite the default Atom feed system provided by Blogger. So most bloggers have redirected their default feeds to feedburner as shown below,

When we submit our RSS or Atom feeds at Google Webmaster Tools Site we are actually submitting the redirected feed hosted by feedburner. The disadvantage of doing so is that when Google Robot crawls your blog it basically indexes the data provided by the default BlogSpot feed system but since you have redirected your default feeds to feedburner, Google robot has to contact two feed systems at a time! first from BlogSpot and then from Feedbuner and thus it turns out into a confusion and results as Feed Proxy Errors which is surely a headache for every newbie blogger. Unfortunately the internet has almost rare tutorials on this issue. The reason behind doing a professional SEO course was indeed learning how to solve all such problems. Luckily I have come up with a solution.

The mistake everyone makes is by adding the following sitemap data,

http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/rss.xml
OR
http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/atom.xml

But this results in dozens of feed proxy errors. To solve this issue simply submit the following sitemap data,

http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?redirect=false

Note:- You only need to add feeds/posts/default?redirect=false  because your blog URL will be added by default.
where , feeds/posts/default?redirect=false is the code that redirects Google only to the default BlogSpot Atom Feed system.
Finally the results for your blog will look like that for mine,


Impressive isn’t it! Adopt the right method and you will see a positive change too. Search Engine do really count for 75% of the traffic to your blog so make sure you smoothen the path for them by optimizing your sitemap as guided in today’s post.

What is a blog and what is for?

What is a Blog?
A blog is nothing more nor less than a diary. This diary can be personal or have a more commercial and corporate.

Every time you write something new you do it in a new page or what is called Post or input. , The most important is the content, quality and should be attractive both in substance and in form.

What things do I can write on the blog?

    On products, news, events and milestones of your store or business.
    About gardening, photography, sports, crafts, mechanics.
    On technology, travel, fashion, news, poetry, art, music, cinema.
    About family, children.

In each entry as part of the text, you can insert photos, videos and audio.

Which is more important the content or design of the blog?
Certainly both are important but should give priority to the content must be original content as I said before (no copies) and quality. You must be clear about what to write, who you're going to lead, shape and purpose of the blog. Finally you must be consistent and write if not every day in several a week. Actually the latter is the most important, how to write or who the wrath perfected over time. With regard to design what angers slowly improving but can not be the priority.

Google Blogger 
Now you need a manager for the blog, and that is when I introduce Google Blogger. This service (Blogger), you can create blogs, create and edit entries or post, customize the design of it, you can configure it to indicate whether such a blog is public or private to certain people ... The most important thing, so free and also over time your post will appear in the Google search engine.

Therefore we conclude that a blog is the most economical way to have an Internet presence, and is applicable to all whether you are an individual, entrepreneurial, independent or company. If you want to create a blog user community should be the focus of your strategy.

What do I need to create a blog?
Enthusiasm for what you are going to undertake and dedication to keep
A Gmail (Google Mail). If not, you can create it from here.

No need to know HTML or Web programming.
You do not need a hosting (hosting) and it gives you Google for free.
You do not need a domain, when you create your blog Google assigns you one free on the start. Example www.one.blogspot.com (later you can change by a. Com)

Steps to create the blog:
Connect with blogger and follow the wizard until you write your first post. When you publish, you have already created your blog and have a web address or url where invite your friends.

Of course I recommend you follow this blog because it is, how to start a blog and what aspects should be given slowly. All items listed on this blog are explained in subsequent entries.
