How will Google Instant affect you?

Yesterday Google announced the launch of Google Instant to make search even faster. With the new Google Instant now launched a new search revolution is announced to start. This new feature was  brought up to make the search a better experience for the users and to decrease the average time spend on a search.

How does it help?

When typing a query it makes suggestions of terms that it guesses to be most likely for you to search and displays them in a drop down list. The one with most chances of being your match is also displayed in the search box as a grey sequence of your query and if you think it fits you just press Tab and it will automatically complete it for you.

The coolest thing about Google Instant is that as you type the query search results are already displayed below the suggestions drop down list. With every word you ad to your text the suggestions change and the results shown change too. This way you can get suggestions for the terms to search and see the results without making a click or pressing a key. And it will also be a lot easier to find a relevant results fast by only eye scanning the results as they change with your typing. Continue reading

How to share the projects with your coworkers

Picture a marketing agency which offers search engine optimization services… Luke uses Advanced Web Ranking Enterprise when managing his client’s search engine optimization and striving to improve their website ranking. But since the number of clients increased significantly, so the workload did and he decided to take another marketer on board.

Cindy’s skills impressed Luke and he decided to hire her. She was going to help him to manage the portfolio with clients, thus using Advanced Web Ranking to manage search engine rankings.

Weeks later Cindy started to email reports to Luke with the changes noticed in their client’s rankings. But soon Luke felt the need to have a look himself at the Interactive Reports, set Triggers  for Cindy’s projects and find new keywords ideas.  Trying to do this, Luke faced a new issue: he couldn’t access Cindy’s projects without coming to her desk and the reports received from her via email were not enough.  So he started looking for a way to have access at Cindy’s projects and Cindy at his projects.

Fortunately for Luke after doing a research he found a solution: Advanced Web Ranking Server.

AWR Server

The Advanced Web Ranking Server  license allows multiple clients to share the same database and was designed to work on Local Area Networks (LANs). The Server license gives users the possibility to use the Server service and let them keep their existing Enterprise license. Knowing this, Luke decided to upgrade his Enterprise license to Server and keep the Professional license for Cindy.

Luke started by outlining the steps for integrating Advanced Web Ranking Server on the company network:

  • Plan the integration of Advanced Web Ranking Server
  • Install and configure the Server service
  • Connect the clients to the Server
