Criminal Check…
A friend of mine is looking for jobs to become a nanny. I know most families ask for a background/criminal check on the nanny but is it ok for the nanny to ask for a check on the potential family

yes it’s fine.

When you’re doing business online you need to have a great Yahoo Web Site. Your website is your calling card and your face on the internet. And Yahoo Web Hosting can really help you launch your business or website forward. Your site tells your customers about your business, sells your products, and acts as a virtual storefront or office where customers can go for help when they need it. Your website needs to be multi-functional, but it also needs to be well designed, easy to navigate, and full of interesting and original content. Sounds like a tall order doesn’t it? It can be, and a professional web design company can charge thousands of dollars for an ultra modern website design. But when you choose a web hosting company like Yahoo Web Hosting, you can get reliable web hosting and great site design.

One of the free perks that Yahoo Web hosting offers to customers is the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of design templates to create your site or give your existing site an overhaul. Yahoo web site templates have been designed by professional web designers and they are optimized for the web and give your great flexibility. They offer unique and well put together colors, designs and layout that you can mix and match in order to give your business the unique custom look that you want with the functionality that your customers expect. There is a huge selection of designs that you can choose from to fit almost any industry and you can also use free design tools to create your own site. Yahoo Web hosting design templates are also set up to work with the most popular web-authoring programs like Dreamweaver and Frontpage.

Good design is only one element of creating a highly functional site. One of the ways that your website can help your business is by giving customers easy to find relevant information about your business, your products and your services. Yahoo Web Hosting tools are available free when you sign up for hosting services including point and click FAQ builders and other customizable information sections that are designed to be professional looking and easy to read. Your customers will be more likely to stay and buy when they can get the answers and information they need easily and without having to call customer service. Adding informational sections will make your site look more put together and current instead of making your site look like something that was just thrown together.

Your Yahoo web site serves so many functions for you business. Isn’t it worth paying for a service that will give you great web hosting and all the tools that you need to upgrade your website or create a multi-functional site that will impress your customers? With the eCommerce tools, design tools, marketing tools and business management tools that Yahoo Web Hosting offers you can build a website that will make it easy to run your business and draw customers. If you have been considering paying for a website design company to design your website or give your existing site a facelift, try switching to Yahoo Web Hosting instead. You’ll get great web hosting and the tools you need to create a polished, professional website for a fraction of the cost that a design company would charge.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction – Newton’s Law. Although this law applies to physics, there will be an equal and opposite reaction among the search engines and search engine marketing. Whatever Yahoo! and Bing combine to develop under the new search alliance will instinctively generate a reaction from Google and other search engines. Only time will tell if the reaction from Google and other search engines will be equal. As for the opposite reaction, the search engines’ organic results will generate reaction for the search engines’ paid search results and vice versa, regardless of whether or not search marketers have a specific SEO, PPC, or both (a comprehensive search engine marketing strategy).

In August 2010, Yahoo! distributed an email to all advertisers labeled as “Important updates on the organic and paid search transitions”. This email included information on the Yahoo! organic search transition, testing of paid search account transitions, and commitment to a quality transition. In our opinion, this email did not include any information to help advertisers evaluate the effectiveness of the new search alliance or the impact on the search engine marketing environment. Below is our reaction to their email and a few tips that may help you improve your future SEO and PPC campaigns:

  1. Document the keyword ranking, competitor positioning, your company’s position, indexed pages, and crawling issues for the last 3-12 months on Google, Yahoo!, and Bing prior to the transition. You want to have a detailed history of your SEO campaigns and evaluate the impact of this transition to create strategy going forward.
  2. Document all paid search elements for the last 3-12 months of your Google, Yahoo!, and Bing paid search campaigns prior to the transition. You want to have a paid search history to evaluate the impact on your campaigns and have the opportunity to optimize the campaign performance.
  3. Document your web analytics reporting for the last 3-12 months of search engine traffic for all search engines. You may assume that the transition will have an impact on the distribution of search traffic. Therefore, you will need these reports to evaluate the impact and adjust your campaigns for success.
  4. Review and confirm that your webmaster tools for the search engines are all up-to-date, accurate, and completed (XML sitemap, robot.txt, etc.).
  5. Update the contact information, email address, and billing information for paid search accounts. If there is an issue, you want to have updated information to receive communication.
  6. Review the new editorial guidelines for Yahoo! and Bing. These changes will have an impact on the way you communicate with your target audience.
  7. Effectively communicate this transition to your stakeholders because they will see a change in the search engine traffic in the future.
  8. Plan to evaluate your PPC campaigns and SEO campaigns to optimize the effectiveness of the campaigns. You may or may not be listed for keywords prior to the transition so you will need to evaluate which keywords give your business the highest return on investment for both organic and paid search terms. You will also want to take the time to develop or revisit your comprehensive SEM strategy for your business.
  9. Confirm that your reports are set-up and being distributed to the necessary people for the next 3-6 months. The more people you have reviewing the reports, the greater the probability that someone will notice any issues and have the opportunity to react to issues in a timely matter.
  10. REVIEW ALL SEO & PAY PER CLICK CAMPAIGN REPORTS.
  11. Plan to evaluate the impact of this transition on your mobile organic and paid search results. These results are scheduled to be powered by Bing in the US market within the next few weeks. The number of mobile search queries will continue to increase and your business does not want to miss out on this opportunity.
  12. Stay informed and REACT to the information. There will be issues, updates, modifications, enhancements, and more from all of the search engines. You must adapt to the new search environment to be successful.

There are other components of search engine marketing that will also affect the organic search results such as on-page optimization, link building, site navigation, and website design/structure. You should consider these components when evaluating the impact of the search alliance transition. There are numerous tools to help view and compare this information among the search engines. SEObook, SEO chat, and SEOMoz offer a few free search optimization tools for advertisers and business owners.

For those of you with vendors managing your search engine optimization or pay-per-click campaign, we would suggest that you schedule time with your vendor to review the reporting, strategies, tactics and timelines to implement tactics that are consistent with your business goals and objectives. Many vendors are certified search marketing partners, subscribe to newsletters, read blogs, and attend industry conferences so they should be familiar with the new search alliance and other industry updates to help improve your return on investment. You can also visit Yahoo!, Google, and Bing blogs for additional information.
