An option widely used and abused, Dynamic Keyword Insertion (DKI) can do more harm than good to your PPC campaign, if not paid attention to. For beginners, a DKI is a trick of the trade to boost your Pay per Click program, by replacing keywords of search items fed by online users. A feature offered by Google Ad words, it works something like this: you have the option to choose a few keywords for your ad title which, if found a match with the user’s search query, will replace and auto populate your ad title to show exactly what the user is searching for. This means, when displayed (correctly), the user will find an ad which has his query on your ad title content. Now that is excellent, as it is more likely to invite an immediate click. And this in turn will get you more clicks, and more visitors to your site, thereby increasing your site’s quality score. What’s more, if there is no match, it allows you to display a default keyword so that it still picks up the ad. So what’s the flip side?  Well, that’s the point of our discussion. To begin with, there’s more than one area of concern. While PPC campaigns can be good money earners provided your SEO expert has full control over the entire program, it can also play havoc, should it be left unattended. To understand how to better manage it, let’s note what are the elements that determine the dynamic keyword insertion. First, it heavily relies on the Ad group to which your ad belongs to. Meaning, it should...

If you have heard the latest piece of news from Facebook, then you know what I mean. At a time when critics started hinting at a slowdown of Faceboom (beg your pardon, I meant Facebook boom), Mark Zuckerberg has come up with his much anticipated announcement of the Graph search, which seems to have taken the social web in a frenzy. Received with a lukewarm response, this was a disappointment for Facebook fans, who almost anticipated a more elaborate application, or perhaps a Facebook phone. In the midst of mixed reactions on the feasibility of this new ‘search’ tool competing the market giant – Google, it has none-the-less been successful in at least drawing attention of the crowd that will eventually decide its success. The news comes at a time when, despite claims of reaching the 1 billion milestones, there are reports of dwindling footfall in its UK market by 600,000 users. On the 15th of January, Zuckerberg made the announcement of Graphic search, a Facebook application integrated within the social networking site, which is expected to redefine popular search engine performance. The most outstanding difference, Mark explains, is that popular search engines run a given query and accordingly generate links to web pages which most likely have the answer. In case of Graphic search, it will not be the links, but users will get the actual answer to the question. The algorithm behind notwithstanding, the result will be completely based on the mountain of data fed by the billion users of Facebook. This also indicates that every individual will have different outcome to identical search keywords. The reason...

If you think that you can lie low while the frenzy over responsive design subsides, think again. From a mere add-on design feature, it has grown to be the natural choice of site owners, from big brands to medium and small business owners. The reason is simple – today ‘mobile’ is the word. Everyone is connected to the web through every possible media, not limited to desktop, laptop and i-pads. When smart phones, Android and iPhones rule the day, it is but obvious to build a website that is accessible in its most impressive view on these devices. And therefore, responsive design is the call of the day. However, worry not, for responsive design is not as difficult as it may sound. Especially for HTML developers, it’s just about going one step further. And to simplify things, you may turn to Twitter’s Bootstrap. The not-so-talked-about framework is about a year old, an open source platform that allows a lot simpler development of a website with cool features in less than half the time and effort, and helps in the implementation of responsive designs with a click of a button. You will get a detailed tutorial about how to use it to perfection from the Bootstrap website, so I will not make an attempt to go down that road. But while I was researching about this toolkit, what I found lacking is a good reason to use Bootstrap in the first place. Undecided over whether it is just another open source framework in the market, or if it is worth my time, I read all Bootstrap from sources I could...
