			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Enterprise SEO is all the buzz right now with the Panda update aka Google&#8217;s changes to its search algorithms. Here are an interesting article forwarded to me by a client and presentation which capture Enterprise SEO in all its buzzyness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MailChimp is all the rave these days. A few customers have contacted me recently about integrating their WordPress website with MailChimp and fortunately these two marry together VERY nicely thanks to a large amount of plugins which are developed for integrating WordPress and MailChimp. This review covers three MailChimp WordPress plugins which I am testing for a client.</p>
<h3><a title="MailChimp List Subscribe Form WordPress plugin" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mailchimp/" target="_blank">MailChimp List Subscribe Form</a> &#8211; WordPress Plugin</h3>
<h4><strong>Pros:</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li>Super easy setup</li>
<li>Lot&#8217;s of options</li>
<li>Puts a signup form directly in the widget area</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Cons:</span></span></strong></h4>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Custom styling does not work with most WordPress themes.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p><a href="http://www.mattsweeny.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MailChimp-list-subscribe-plugin.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-696" title="MailChimp-list-subscribe-plugin" src="http://www.mattsweeny.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MailChimp-list-subscribe-plugin-800x418.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="418" /></a></p>
<h3><a title="MailChimp Widget" href="http://connect.mailchimp.com/integrations/mailchimp-widget" target="_blank">MailChimp Widget</a>- WordPress plugin</h3>
<p><strong>Pros:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Provides customization for the success message users get once subscribed.</li>
<li>User does not have to leave page to use the widget.</li>
<li>Looks really nice.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Cons:</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li>Did not offer nearly as many options as the MailChimp List Subscribe Form</li>
<li>No built in customization for the look and feel of this plugin widget.</li>
<li>This plugin <span style="text-decoration: underline;">does not</span> give the option to show the custom signup form fields, only name and email.</li>
<li>Widget disappears after a user sign up&#8230;this is confusing.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Other Worthy MailChimp WordPress Plugins</strong></h3>
<p>Here are a few other WordPress plugins for using with MailChimp which I did not test out but would love to:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With Google&#8217;s new &#8220;Panda&#8221; update, search engine optimzation has really changed recently. Here are some new tips for SEO in 2012.</p>
<h3>Get Quality Backlinks</h3>
<p>Google used to focus on the <em>quantity</em> of backlinks now they focus on the <em>quality</em> of backlinks. Focus on quality backlinks from regional/local website and industry focused websites if you are a small business.</p>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://www.mattsweeny.com/2012/01/seo-tips-for-2012/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/-mYGXyJQGMk/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<h3>Use Videos on the Website</h3>
<p>Help create a brand among your web visitors. The 3rd largest search engine is now YOUTUBE, video marketing will help capture this large audience. Setup and Youtube and Vimeo account&#8211;Google&#8217;s recent (Panda) update makes the use of video marketing all more important.</p>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://www.mattsweeny.com/2012/01/seo-tips-for-2012/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/7vQYArk-rGA/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<h3>Quality Content</h3>
<ul>
<li>You really need a blog these days!</li>
<li>Start by identifying what website tools would be helpful for someone searching for your keywords in your region (if you are small biz)&#8230; search tools? If you provide a paid service, can your website feature estimates on the website? Do you have a contact or feedback form where users can reach you?</li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">2012 Search Engine Optimization TIPS (right from the source)</span></span></h2>
<ul>
<li>These videos feature Matt Cutts, Head of Google&#8217;s Webspam Team</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Optimize your Title, URL and Google snippet</strong></h3>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://www.mattsweeny.com/2012/01/seo-tips-for-2012/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/THYguer_JrM/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<h3><strong>Meta Descriptions are Back!</strong></h3>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://www.mattsweeny.com/2012/01/seo-tips-for-2012/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/HtSzi2MUegs/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<h3><strong>Meta Tag Keywords are OUT!</strong></h3>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://www.mattsweeny.com/2012/01/seo-tips-for-2012/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/jK7IPbnmvVU/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<p>This seems obvious to me but if you have a website, provide some tools for mobile users and for sharing on social networks.  78% of business people use their mobile devices to check email and browse the Internet while at work. 93% of adults in the USA are Facebook users too.</p>
