Editor's Notes

  • #2 - Self Empower - Extend your saturationWe are looking to increase positivity in recession when money is tight, give you an edge
  • #3 Show of hands Who understands the concept of Google Universal? Who feels they are already using Google Universal? Who feels they are getting the best out of Google Universal? How many media opportunities do you feel there is with Google Universal?Four answers – 4, 7, 11 or more than 11
  • #4 Check Catalogs, Code Search, Finance, Patent, Scholar, DirectoryFlight and Movies being in America and we can expect + video content is in trial in Beta mode in US
  • #5 Rare that any one page would contain more than 7 universal opportunitiesI am all for max visibility
  • #10 You are not placing all your eggs in one basket
  • #12 The other relation that may of have appeared is Blog Search ResultsBring term up on the screenLook at what happened when Michael Jackson sadly passed away – The Internet lit up like a Christmas Tree, a trendPossibly add second with Brian Jones23 slots
  • #13 On top of this theDailymail news story appears in the top 10 as well as a fresh resultHis death was murder and would be investigated after xx year
  • #14 Need ICONS for the images to the left hand sideParking – Gatwick ParkingWembley ParkingHotels – Torquay Hotels
  • #20 I endorse this3 Examples – Self build wine rack – Flat pack furnitureHints and tips for gamersI will tell my peers, I may well link from my blog, I may be a member of a forum or communityI want help and guidance – not a slick presentation. I can turn on the TV for that (well sometimes) – it’s informationIt’s time to make rich content, it’s time to engage our visitors, it is time to expand your reach to your users of tomorrpw
  • #21 Caffeine is an under the bonnet change10 years on current structureFight challenges from Twitter, Facebook and Microsoft
  • #23 Hands up what site managers here?Keep your hands up if you deploy User Generated Content on your site?
  • #24 What do we mean by User Generated Content (UCD)
  • #25 Talk about Amazon, talk about Colin Forbes book on holiday and the reviewsBook ¾ complete but still read the reviewsWent on to buy more based on peer reviewsToys R Us StaffI am looking for a toy to teach my 3yr old son SpanishGoogle offers me varietyReviews of X teach my son spanish within a week
  • #30 Hands up who uses each siteFacebook - Mark ZuckerbergTwitter - Jack DorseyThey are all phenomallysuccessfuil sites
  • #32 Longtail not from a staff content writer, but from the likes of you and I
  • #33 Why would I not object to incorrect grammar appearing on a website?Caribbean is a Heinz 57 word – there are numerous ways that it is spelt
  • #35 I must add I do not expect every site to be in a position to have the visitor levels that Amazon does – that said, there is no reason why within your niches that you cannot be seen as the leader in your field – UGC will help you achieve this.
