Weekly blog round-up: 5 – 8 September

Posted by Anton on Sep 9, 2011 in Weekly Round-up

During this week I covered a couple of topics on my personal blog ranging from new Twitter updates to the battle between Google and Facebook.  I have decided to start blogging about SEO in general again and I have published a blog post about how Google indexes your website. Even though my focus will still primarily be on various social media marketing strategies, SEO plays a vital role in digital marketing as Google is still one of the best sources for information.

Find the weekly blog roundup of this week below.

Facebook like button as a chrome extension

The Facebook like button that has been available on Firefox is now available as a Chrome extension.  Apparently this has been a side project and it was launched a couple of months ago.  So what is the big fuss about it now?  The only reason is that Facebook launched this extension very quietly with no official announcement.

The battle between Google and Facebook

Facebook has recently launched a couple of new services similar to features on Google+.  The latest Facebook update includes a new status update box that looks almost the same as the status update box on Google+ where you can add a location to your update and select which of your friend groups can view your update.

Twitter launches Post Tweets to Facebook

Twitter recently launched a new feature on their platform where you can directly post your Tweets to Facebook. This has always been possible in the past with the integration of third party services, but you can now set this up hassle free and directly from Twitter on your profile settings.

How Google indexes and crawls your site

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is another form of digital marketing and it plays a vital role in running a successful online business. SEO is a factor that determines how a website will rank for specific keywords and keyword phrases on the search engine result pages (SERP’s).
