What is the Facebook Like feature?
“Like” is a way to give positive feedback or connect with things you care about on Facebook. You can like content that your friends post or Pages that you want to connect with on Facebook.
How do I get the Facebook Like’s feature on my blog?
Like – This plugin supports multiple languages, gives a number of display options and can be shown at the top or bottom of a post, on pages and on the front page, all based on what settings you select.
Facebook Like Button – This plugin has a nice settings panel that makes it easy to see and adjust how you want buttons to appear.
Facebook Like Button Plugin – We like that this plugin supports a shortcode, which means that you can indicate what posts to include a button on or not, in the post itself. You can also set default global options.

The Little Known Secret to Getting Page 1 Google Rankings – Video!!!
American Express Small Business OPEN forum disscusses a little known secret to getting better Google rankings; Videos!
They explain that Google are increasingly using “blended” search results – articles, video, pictures, and other forms of content. So video inherently gets more play because there is less competition for video results.
Check the article out here.
Below are the meat & potatoes of the article:
1. Create some great video for your site. Note: Research indicates that if you have video on your homepage, up to 80% of your visitors will click that first, so it better be good!
2. Post it prominently throughout your site.
3. SEO it and submit it. Here’s the trick, and it is two-fold. First, you must optimize the video for search engines. That means key words and phrases must be used in the file name, in the captions, etc. Second, once posted on your site, you must then submit the video itself using XML tools to Google and the other search engines.

Tips on Creating the Perfect Brouchure for your Business
Although having a website may be the optimal way of advertising your products and/or services, print advertising is still an efficient method.
“A great brochure is a powerful sales tool. More than that, it is a durable corporate asset. Strategically oriented brochure copy writing, based on a sound persuasive structure, helps you make the most of your investment in advertising and marketing. And that’s what all your marketing communication should do.“
Some great tips include:
– Focus on the Persuasion instead of the information
– Always have an attractive cover sheet that creates an Idea for the potential customer
– Earn Readership – make sure reader wants to read through all the pages.
– Sell benefits, not features.
– Try not to stress technical points
– Use captions on images
