The training is an intensive one day course that will leave the participants able to optimise their own web sites. The cost for the full day is €125, which also includes a mini audit of each client’s web site.

This course is SEO in action, not theory; participants will leave with improved web sites, if they bring along their server login details.

Of course title tags, web architecture, page themeing, and key word research are included in the training along with all other basic SEO knowledge – however Cube are more interested in the trainees take away abilities.

The course outcomes are of a very high level and include:

* design your own SEO action plan
* able to measure the success of optimisation

London, UK (PRWEB) — PR Company Punch Communications has highlighted the ways in which digital advancements have dramatically improved the work-life balance of people across the UK in recent years.

With the advent of mobile technology meaning that more and more people are able to conduct business remotely, this not only means that in business terms a workforce’s productivity can be improved but conducting business from home means that long commutes to the office can be avoided, significantly improving an individual’s balance between their life and their job.

In fact, the newest technological developments that facilitate remote working including VoIP, desktop hosting and video conferencing, mean that location is becoming increasingly irrelevant in the business world. With people able to do everything they can do in the office albeit over the phone or internet rather than face-to-face (through online tools such as Skype or Google Wave), remote working is a trend that is set to grow significantly in 2010.

As a digital PR agency specialising in online PR, Punch is constantly cognisant of the technological advances that have made a dramatic difference to people’s lives. Pete Goold, Managing Director of Punch Communications said: “The arrival of social networking tools, online cloud applications and wireless broadband has made a massive difference to the ways in which people work. Coupled with the wide variety of web-based applications that are available to businesses, people can still be productive and do their job just as efficiently regardless of their location.”

Pete continued: “This allows people to coordinate their work with family responsibilities and commitments and ensure that they have time to themselves to indulge in hobbies and social activities, which in turn leads to happier and as a result more productive employees.

“We envisage that in the future, mobile technology will advance to a stage where many of the facilities that we currently use are conglomerated into a single package by various providers, and the power and abilities of handheld devices such as the iPhone in business will continue to improve.”

Ambitious and experienced PR and Communications practitioners looking for a new challenge with a specialism in digital & technology PR, previous experience with an SEO agency or in social networking should contact Pete Goold, Managing Director, Punch Communications on +44 (0) 1858 411600, or visit punchcomms.com.

(PRWEB) — This free Contact Button enables users to both hide their email address and share all their social media profiles in one neat place.

People no longer have to write their email as “john (at) johnsmith.com” to stop the spammers from either automatically or manually harvesting it. On a blog, the Contact Button can fit neatly into either the Sidebar or be automatically inserted at the end of each post. Visitor’s messages go direct to the user’s regular email account.

The Contact Button has a graceful dropdown which opens on mouse rollover to reveal an email icon and their social profiles – should the user choose to provide any. If a visitor clicks the “Email Me” icon, the email form opens on the same webpage – so the visitor stays on the user’s site.

The design of the Contact Button is simple and elegant enabling it to integrate pleasingly into almost any page. Although a noticeable presence on the page, its compact and unobtrusive nature allows the user to place it on multiple pages – wherever they believe that it would be most useful to their visitors.

The Button text is customisable – it comes with “Contact Me” and a range of icons to show what you have loaded their button with (either email or social profiles or both) and these can be altered to suit the users needs.

Hiding email addresses has now never been so easy – and this social media widget is completely free.

Sharing Social Media Profiles:

The Contact Button enables users to easily share all their social media profiles with the visitors to their website or blog, without cluttering up their sidebar with lots of links.

Their social profiles appear on the dropdown menu with its appropriate social network favicon and, when clicked, open the profiles in a new window, so that their visitor doesn’t immediately leave their site unintentionally. Users can also list all their means of IM and VOIP contact, so that visitors have a choice of means of contact. If users have more than 9 profiles, there is a “More” link that will guide their visitor to the rest of them which open in a separate scrollable frame.

If the user is a social butterfly, they’ll find just about any social network imaginable. With over 160 social networks supported, the Contact Button plugin is one of the most extensive profile sharing tools available and enables users to include their social profiles on any page or post with a simple line of code – thereby reducing page clutter.

This social media tool is a very simple way to aggregate a user’s online identity.

Auto Update:

Users don’t even have to create a free account in order to create a button, although doing so enables them to automatically update the information on their button immediately at any time in the future, so when they change their email address or add profiles, they don’t ever have to reload the button code.

Registration also enables them to also opt in and out of the Global Address Book whenever they want. They can display this icon (the “Contact Info” link) on their dropdown if they so choose which would give their visitors access to their address book page where they might have chosen to display a whole range of their personal and work contact details (see this example profile for John Smith).

Installation:

Installation on any website is made simple and undemanding even for the least technical user with instructions displayed in a range of easy to follow Button Installation Visual Guides.

Demonstration Buttons:

Potential users can find working Contact Buttons on each of the following demonstration sites (found on the Create Button page) which demonstrate the button’s versatility on Blogger, Typepad, Tumblr, Wordpress and MySpace.

Please note that whilst WordPress.org does support JavaScript, neither WordPress.com and MySpace do, so the dropdown will not appear on these sites. Instead, the button automatically becomes clickable which opens a new window with the dropdown information on it.

Competition:

The Contact Button is set to compete with two existing products that are similar but distinctly different in design and content. Retaggr provides a more complex solution to the online identity issue whilst on the other end of the scale, IgniteSocialMedia’s Follow Me product is simpler and also enables the user to display their social profiles, but doesn’t provide an email solution. The Contact Button now offers consumers a third choice – a highly polished product that provides email, shares their profiles, is both easy to create and install and looks professional.

Supported Social Media Sites:

The Contact Button supports over 160 social media sites including:- Blogger Classmates Digg Facebook Flickr LinkedIn LiveJournal MySpace StumbleUpon Tumblr Twitter Typepad Yahoo YouTube Wikipedia Wordpress.

About WikiWorldBook:

WikiWorldBook, The Global Address Book, is a free online address book. It enables people to be found and contacted within three clicks of a Google search of their name – without them having to reveal their email address. The Address Book Visual Guide gives a detailed list of its easy to use features.

The Contact Button is just one of a range of free online products it offers its users which include:-

Free People Search

Philadelphia (PRWEB) — CellSigns, Inc., the leading provider of mobile tools and services for real estate, announced today the addition of new social network features to its CellSigns Property Marketing and Mobile Agent solutions. CellSigns brings together two very powerful forces: mobile and social networks.

Continuing its leadership within the Real Estate Industry, CellSigns brings new ways for Home Buyers and Real Estate agents to tag and share their properties on social networks. With the addition of FaceBook and Twitter connections, home buyers can now tag a home and share it with family & friends on social network accounts. It’s become vital for REALTORS and real estate agents to reach across social networks like Facebook.

According to Parenting Group’s research panel of 5,000 moms, 60% of moms report having used a social network in the past 24 hours. Of that group, over 80% are online with Facebook. According to a recent eMarketer survey, “mobile social networkers” will total 56.2 million by 2013 in the United States, accounting for 45 percent of the mobile Internet user population and highlights the importance of using this media to reach Gen X and Gen Y as a means of communication.

Agents using CellSigns Property Marketing and Mobile Agent can easily extend their area of influence through mobile and social networks. The services can also distribute and syndicate their listings, automatically. This allows agents to provide greater reach for their listings and reach new buyers and sellers in the process.

* Automatically distribute listing content to FaceBook or Twitter
* Allows FB and Twitter friends to see full details of the listing content
* Data automation available through MLS Feeds (IDX or RETS) and Direct Broker Feeds

The first client to launch with these new features is the Allen Tate Company. Allen Tate, the Carolinas’ leading real estate company and the 11th largest broker in the country, is making real estate text messaging available throughout the Charlotte, Triad, Triangle and Upstate South Carolina regions. Properties with mobile texting capabilities will be identified with sign riders, indicating the unique property ID and text messaging number. The mobile texting technology is compatible with all types and brands of cell phones.

“The power of mobile search, mobile marketing, and social networks come together with the CellSigns mobile real estate service,” notes David Geipel, COO of QWASI, Inc. “Mobile is not a trend or fade but a way of life in real estate. It’s a ubiquitous activity that encompasses search and discovery. What we’ve done with our services is to tap into the strengths of mobile and social networks. Allowing home buyers, for example, to pull up to a home for sale, search via their mobile phone using SMS (text messaging) or even Mobile Web (WAP) and then share that property with their family or friends is very instinctual. It gives the buyer a chance to let others share their thoughts on that home directly with others.”

CellSigns has also introduced these features to its popular mobile IDX service Mobile Agent.

New York, NY (PRWEB) — TwitFile, a new web-application that lets users share up to 200 MB files on Twitter, is the latest innovation developed to enhance the Twitter experience by simplifying file hosting and sharing.

Another exciting benefit to TwitFile is that it eliminates the 20 MB size limitation that most popular email clients and file sharing services pose. After all, it enables anybody to share a file in the widest context of possible. There is not a lot more that could be asked.
