Posting Pictures that POP on Google+

June 13, 2013 By Terry Green

It’s no secret that big, vibrant images are key in social media for drawing users in and encouraging engagement. Pinterest has been the reigning image champ for a while now, but other social media platforms are scrambling to step up their image games, including Google+.

When using Google+ to promote your blog, website or services, an effective key to great images is to NOT use the little picture that pops up when you insert the URL link of the information you are looking to share. Like Facebook, when a link is inserted in an update, a little picture of your post will automatically pop up below the link. These smaller pictures suffice, but are less likely to get noticed by users as they scroll past. A larger picture affiliated with your post will not only look better, but is more likely to “hook” readers and get their attention. [Read more…]

Social Media Platform Changes and Updates

March 14, 2013 By Terry Green

We already know social media changes constantly. There have been so many changes and upgrades to social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ lately, that I thought it would be easier just to give you a summary as a virtual heads up.

Twitter Vine: Vine is a new mobile app that allows you to capture life from your mobile device in short, six-second looping videos. You can share these short videos with your Twitter followers and Facebook friends. Just think of it as Instagram, except with videos instead of pictures. [Read more…]

To Google+ or not to Google+ … that is the question!

July 3, 2012 By Terry Green

While on a team meeting last week, we were discussing video streaming options for one of our clients, and someone mentioned Google+. I must say that I have been very, very resistant to Google+ … considering it just another Facebook, but without all the cool kids. So, as a way of trying to entice me over to the dark side, my dear friend, colleague, and team member, Carla Wilson – sent me a link to a recent episode she and her co-host, Mary Motz, did on their weekly podcast.

Here are just a few of the highlights they covered: [Read more…]

Optimize Your Website For Google in 5 Easy Steps!

October 13, 2011 By Terry Green

The battle to stay on top of search engine result pages requires a website owner to constantly improve page content. Although Bing and Yahoo use HTML tag structures, Google optimization is trickier.

Because of Google’s stricter guidelines and requirements, website owners need to optimize pages to improve Google index rank.
