Squidoo Lens Building Service Now Offered By McRea Marketing Concept
In response to thousands of internet marketers trying to make online income happen in Squidoo, but fail due to marketing frustrations, a new service aims to sell SEO optimized Squidoo lens to anyone that are willing to get traffic quickly. This Squidoo Lens building service has been brought up by Bill McRea who is popularly known as the “SEO Ninja” representing McRea Marketing Concepts and Squidoo Queen.
Squidoo has become a popular online service and community website since it launched back in 2005 where anyone can create pages known as lenses to share content for marketing or non-marketing purposes. For online marketers, building several Squidoo lenses can raise the chances of earning money through its online income service and drive traffic to their website if their link is posted and the right content is supplied. It is the content where people usually fail, which results to lack of lens exposure despite Squidoo’s high Google PageRank of 8. Bill McRea comments, “Success with Squidoo isn’t easy. It’s not enough to post your lens and hope to get traffic. That particular lens needs a reputation.”
Bill McRea goes on explaining the necessary steps in bringing a Squidoo audience together which includes research, placing the content in the lenses and posting it. Some of the more tedious efforts include proper formatting of the page, buying of images, and building some quality links for Google exposure.
The Squidoo Lens building service entitled “We Build Your Squidoo Lens” aims to solve this problem by letting a certified Squidoo expert do all the work. This means that all of the content stays professional ensuring that visitors that browse the lenses will visit any links associated to the lenses. Generation of backlinks through SEO is among their primary services in building a lens that can attract greater amounts of traffic.
“We Build Your Squidoo Lens” also has a client care center that is there to assist people who are registered with the service by providing some tips on how to market their newly purchased lenses using their own efforts. Registered members will still have full control of their campaign while the Squidoo Lens building service provides the content.
The whole service is backed by the top skills of the certified Squidoo experts and knowledge of SEO Ninja who has earned a reputation in helping various online marketers in creating press releases and SEO websites using recommended software and strategies. Squidoo Queen, who has made several high ranking lenses illustrating useful tips to market both inside and out of Squidoo, also contributes to the experience.
“We Build Your Squidoo Lens” provides a lean package that allows registered users to sell products from the lenses directly. The main things that are found in the Squidoo Lens building service includes:
Well written content by professionals
Consistent lens pinging without overstressing
RSS generation for added backlinks
Submission to various bookmarking sites for increased backlinks
Custom modules depending on the needs
Free stock photos for use in the lenses
Repetitive procedures for additional lenses
Four lenses that all have the package benefits cost 7, which is lower than other websites offering similar services. McRea Marketing Concepts continues to push this new service forward under SEO Ninja and Squidoo Queen’s direction to ensure that new Squidoo users get the marketing that they need.

New York City Bar Held Liable for $105,200 for Damaged Finger
New York, NY Â? June 29, 2005 Â? A man starts to leave a New York City bar and the bouncers shove him and throw him to the ground. Was this just another case of the big and the strong acting as they pleased? In a New York State Supreme Court Case (index number 118563/03), a Manhattan jury said no more to the bullies turned loose as bouncers in the bars and clubs of New York City. The jury found the owners of Fubar liable for the injuries suffered by Frank Pilchesky at the hands of the over-aggressive bouncers. Mr. Pilchesky sustained bruises and an injured finger. The jury awarded him 5,200 in damages.
The attorney for the plaintiff, Carol L. Schlitt, said the jury was right to hold the bar owner responsible. Â?He hired men simply for their size and muscles and then turned them loose on unsuspecting patrons. It was a disaster waiting to happen.
The case stemmed from a May 10, 2003 incident at Fubar on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Mr. Pilchesky and a co-worker entered around 11:30 p.m. After two and a half hours spent with some women they met at the bar, the two decided to leave. When Mr. Pilchesky reached the door, a large man talking to the bouncers blocked his way. Three times he asked the man to move, only to have the man ignore his request. ThatÂ?s when the bouncers came at Mr. Pilchesky, knocking him to the ground. They then picked him up and threw him onto the pavement, an unnecessarily brutal act that broke Mr. PilcheskyÂ?s finger causing permanent damage.
Â?If you have a dispute, you talk to people,Â? explained Attorney Schlitt. Â?These bouncers Â? who never bothered to appear in court Â? skipped the talking and manhandled my client. We held the bar owner responsible. Given the people he hired, the lax screening, the lack of training and supervision, what did the owner expect would happen?Â?
Ms. Pilchesky retained the Law Offices of Edward Vilinsky to represent him in this matter. Mr. Vilinsky brought in Carol L. Schlitt to serve as trial counsel.

Time for Brands to Change their Approach when Marketing to Mom, Says New Report by Razorfish and CafeMom
A new marketing report by Razorfish and CafeMom indicates that moms’ digital behaviors change remarkably when their children hit 12 years old and that mobile browsing and social media channels are increasingly affecting moms’ buying decisions.
Digital Mom consists of two companion studies. The first study, conducted by Razorfish–one of the largest digital marketing companies in the world–focuses on how digital moms are adopting emerging technologies. The second study, prepared by CafeMom–the largest social networking site for moms– concentrates on the role that social media play in helping to inform purchase decisions, among other key trends.
Survey findings will help marketers to better understand the different types of moms using mobile browsing, social media and emerging technologies and how to engage them most effectively depending on their age and the age of their children.
Part One: “Connecting with Digital Mom through Emerging Technologies”
Digital moms are not a niche market. According to Nielsen NetRatings, 32 million women in the U.S. have children ages 18 and under and go online; of those women, 84%, or 27 million, interact with emerging technologies.
For the purposes of this report, Razorfish surveyed 1,500 “digital moms”–defined as women with at least one child under 18 in the home who have engaged with two or more emerging technologies and who have researched, sought advice or purchased a product online in the last three months. Results confirm digital moms have moved beyond email and search, and are now active users of Web 2.0 technologies. The majority of moms are using social networks (65%) and text messaging (56%). More than half of these moms are also gamers, with 52% of them playing games online or via a console.
A particularly interesting trend is the rise of mobile browsing, said Terri Walter, vice president of emerging media at Razorfish and author of the Razorfish study. While only 10% of digital moms use mobile browsing, the women who do use it say it has more influence than other media channels as they get closer to a buying decision.
“This finding is significant,” Walter said. “It predicts the profound impact that mobile browsing and perhaps shopping applications will likely have on peoples’ buying decisions as more people adopt smartphones.”
Razorfish’s Key Findings for Marketers:
Moms with children 12 and older are motivated to adopt new technologies to stay in tune with their children. Of those who use social networks and blogs, almost half (47% and 40%, respectively) monitor their children. Likewise, digital moms of children 12 and older, versus moms with children under 12, are more likely to watch online video, (40% vs. 34%), game (57% vs. 51%), read online consumer reviews (38% vs. 30%), and watch or listen to podcasts (13% vs. 9%); This trend can be explained by different leisure time patterns among women with older children and a compelling interest in understanding their teenage children’s digital lives.
The gap is closing between TV and digital channels in terms of creating awareness and affecting product decisions, and social influence channels are increasingly important. Although TV still has the most impact on creating initial awareness for a product (31%), social influence channels such as online consumer reviews, blogs, social network sites and RSS are highly influential in the learning/researching stage (29%).
Moms’ interests are broad; some interests change by life stage, and some do not. More moms show interest in clothing/fashion and food than in parenting information, with the exception of moms with children under six.Part Two: Connecting with Digital Mom through Social Networks
CafeMom conducted a companion study of 1,740 active members of CafeMom, combined with CafeMom behavioral and usage data, to achieve a deeper understanding of how and why moms are using social media, and its impact on shopping behavior and purchase decisions.
The study found that moms are spending more time on social networks than ever before, turning to them for social, recreational and informational purposes. Once part of a social network, these moms are not just passive consumers, but active participants in activities such as blogging, photo-sharing, engaging in group discussions and building communities based on similar interests.
“With the rise of social networking, moms are becoming less dependent on traditional media and brand advertising to inform purchase decisions,” said Laura Fortner, SVP of marketing and insights at CafeMom and author of the CafeMom study. “Marketers can extend brand engagement by interacting with moms in their space and leveraging their influence within their social networks.”
CafeMom identified five distinct segments of socially connected moms. Highlights of the report’s observations and recommended marketing approaches for each segment include:
The Self Expressor typically has a preschooler at home and is eager to chat with other moms about parenting and shopping-related matters. She spends a lot of time building her personal profile page, so marketers should explore ways to be included on her virtual real estate and take advantage of viral pass-along.
The Utility Mom typically has the most children at home of all the segments, yet spends the most time online each week and enjoys relaxing with games and quizzes. To reach the Utility Mom, marketers should align with entertaining widgets and send brand messages through influential women in her circle.
The Groupster is a dynamic builder of online communities and seeks purchasing information and advice from her wide social circle, which includes moms she does not know offline. Marketers can reach her by associating with groups, blogs and other message centers and enlisting her as a brand advocate.
The Infoseeker usually has a young baby at home and is hungry for information on parenting and related products. Brands that can tie their messages into the information she is seeking, especially via the voice of other moms, will be the most successful at connecting with the Infoseeker.
The Hyperconnector, typically the mother of older children, is no longer aggressively seeking parenting information and advice, but rather uses social media as a way to chat with others and learn about new products. As an active social network member, she is comfortable expressing her opinions and would be an excellent candidate for brands to tap in social marketing campaigns.

Amidst Growing Internet Privacy Concerns, Online Blog Community SoulCast.com One-Ups MySpace and LiveJournal on Privacy
SoulCast, a new, free web-based company that allows users to read and write free blogs, claims that privacy and anonymity is one of their top service goals. In light of all of the spying controversy surrounding the NSA and their collection of customer data, and the recent MySpace crackdowns, SoulCast appears to be welcome refuge for many readers and writers of blogs.
The question of privacy in the internet world is a much-debated topic these days. “A lot of blogging and networking sites are not considered to be “fully private” based on the information they collect from a new user when they sign up,” states Brian Ree, CEO and Founder of SoulCast. Unlike MySpace, LiveJournal, Xanga, and just about every other networking website out there, SoulCast doesn’t collect any personal information unless you choose to provide it. The goal is to help keep the user as anonymous as possible so they can write freely and openly about anything, which is one of the philosophies of SoulCast.Additionally, SoulCast doesn’t collect or store IP addresses like virtually every blogging site out there. Not many websites enforce anonymity so much as SoulCast.
The privacy aspect of SoulCast may prove to be a great draw for many potential users, especially since there are few places in the blogosphere that can make such a strong claim for anonymity and privacy. But the team at SoulCast is confident that this service they’re providing, as well as the incentive that you can get paid to blog, will be the sustaining factors of the community. And the timing of such a site couldn’t be better.
SoulCast is a free online blogging community that was established in 2006. SoulCast provides a place for anyone to blog and read about interesting topics for free, without constraints and in full anonymity. In addition, SoulCast members have the option to get paid to blog.
