THE KEYWORD CRAZE: TRANSLATION AND SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
Translation and Search Engine Optimization Nowadays the key to success for most companies is undoubtedly their visibility on the Internet market. When customers need a service or a product, they just type some words in a search engine and this will provide them with a list of pages relevant to their search. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) directly affects the visibility of a website by choosing the most effective keywords, so that it would appear at the top of the result list for its sector. Some tips to conduct a successful optimization include: – The choice of strings of two-three words instead of single words, as they are more specific and less competitive. Ideally you should try to think from the customer’s point of view and guess what strings they would use to search for your website; – A good keyword density. The higher the keyword density is, the more relevant to the search a page is; – The place of keywords. Keywords situated in URLs, file names, page titles and headings are easier to find than normal text, therefore they could significantly boost the page’s ranking if put in the right place. Last but not least: keyword localization. Localized strings help international users find your website; therefore their translation must be accurate. Simply using Google Translate is discouraged, what you need is a translation based on a specific context that can be adapted to a specific audience. Consequently, it is essential to give translators the means to understand the purpose of the keyword and the freedom to rephrase when necessary. This will make your business international and successful. Here... read moreARE YOUR SAFETY POLICIES MULTILINGUAL?
Are the Safety Policies Multilingual on Your Website? If they aren’t then they should be. The obligation to provide safety training in a worker’s native language is implied rather than expressly stated, at least in most jurisdictions. There shouldn’t even be the slightest doubt that employers do have an obligation to provide safety training in the language their workers speak and understand. There are a few steps that should be taken to ensure that your safety policies are understandable and absorbed by all employees. Step #1: Determine The Languages Used In The Workplace: You must determine the languages your workers understand. You must be diplomatic and address all of the languages, not just the dominant ones spoken by the majority of employees. Even if only one worker speaks a rare language, you must ensure that the worker gets specific safety training and materials in that language or else they likely won’t properly absorb the instructions and material. Step #2: Use Pictograms When Possible: Language barriers may be broken down with the utilization of pictures. For example, by using hazard symbols or pictures of hard hats in areas where they’re required you can instill in the employees what to do and what not to do in specific areas of the work place. Pictures with lines through them can also indicate things that are not allowed or should not be done (i.e. cross through a cigarette used as a signal for no-smoking). Step #3: Have Translators Provide Information: For information that can’t be provided with normal means like signs and symbols, such as the workers’ right to refuse dangerous work, you... read moreFACEBOOKING FOR GLOBAL BRAND RECOGNITION
Global Brand Recognition Acquiring new customers with Facebook: You can drive prospects to your site by targeting your ads at your target market. By opting to reach out to people based on things like age, gender and demographics, or by targeting a custom audience, you can specify how and who Facebook targets with its advertisements. Ads can appear in the news feed on desktop and mobile apps, the logout screen and the right hand side with Facebook Exchange. They are very hard to miss and can be very eye catching. As a strategy involved with your marketing approach you can also use Facebook Exchange to capture in-market shoppers who have visited your website. Grow sales on desktop computers or mobile devices: It is very useful to merchandise your products in the news feed and right-hand side advertisements. You can link these directly to your product/service pages on your retail websites. Not only is this great from a sales perspective, but you can derive data from this and get detailed attribution numbers from who is clicking your advertisements on Facebook. This proves to be especially useful in creating future marketing campaigns, and figuring out a more specific demographic to target that should be focused on more intently. Build global brand loyalty: Using Facebook can foster very positive relationships with active customers and help solidify their loyalty towards your brand, thus retaining business and drawing in new business via recommendations from those customers to their friends. By publishing to your customers everyday with engaging content, word-of-mouth marketing and retention can be maintained and your brand will surely become more globally recognized.
