An anonymous guest author at TechCrunch wrote a long but interesting article on the increasing reliance on the Google algorithm. The article goes by giving an analogy as the sole gatekeeper of the traffic each website seeks and his proposed solution is to regulate this by forcing some transparency in the algorithms.

It was a right decision for him to stay anonymous, since the spur of comments give strong counter-arguments to his thesis, e.g.: social media marketing, other search engines, SEO industry business and most importantly, not revealing what made Google: it's algorithm.

What are you thoughts on this, what would happen if all search engine become "open"? read more »

No, we are not "launching" yet. Today is a milestone as netParticles our web design and development phase is complete and we will start writing and publishing content as opposed to tinkering and finalizing its design and code.

Over the last two months, we have carefully planned and designed this site as a platform to effectively keep you up to date on the latest development in website promotion and marketing. You might wonder how a brand new blog provide website promotion tips for established sites. The answer lies within our experienced professional who will put their writing skills by materializing their knowledge and insights.

Only the Web Design and Development phase is complete? Why don't we simply "launch" as a first post? In our opinion, a successful blog launch and establishment can be broken down into five distinct phases:

1. Business Plan: Define the purpose of your site, its main audience, its content scope.
2. Web Design and Development: Design the user interface, code the page and customize your content management system.
3. Pillar Content Writing: Create a few outstanding articles that will draw new visitors to your website.
4. Official Launch and Promotion: Launch a promotion and marketing campaign to let the world know about your blog.
5. Continuous Growth: Feed your reader base by writing at a regular schedule and act on the comments you receive.

This is a rough model on which we will expand on in one of our upcoming posts.

On writing this we have consulted from our own experience but we would also like to highlight these external links which could be useful to you. read more »
