What was spun as a way to take your music with you has evolved into a device that allows you to view pictures and movies as well. Aside from being just an entertainment device, the iPod in combination with the iTunes Music Store has given birth to an explosion of media enthusiasts. People across the world have been liberated from the controlled and mundane content of the major networks to create whatever customized listening material they prefer. Hence the invention of audioblogging or Podcasting. Podcasting is more than just a fad and more recently Vodcasting or Vidcasting has been introduced on a mass level by the introduction of Apple’s Video iPod. The opportunity to "Get up on your soapbox" has never been easier. You can create and publish your own audio and video content for the world to see—and we can show you how. Mac & Dan are experts in explaining the process of creating and publishing your very own audio or video podcasts. We will provide you with the technical expertise you need from setup to publishing and everything in between. As experienced podcasters ourselves, we can guide you through the proper ways to set up your hardware and software for recording your content, to establish your web hosting site, to create your file encoding and to syndicate your RSS feed. We believe there is no better computing platform for Podcasting than the Apple Macintosh. The ease and simplicity of a Mac is ideal for both the novice and advanced user. If broadcasting to an audience of millions for just a few dollars a month sounds appealing, we can help you realize your goal. Move over Jay Leno, David Letterman and Larry King. The Podcasting world is gunning for you. 2006-05-28 Dan Byrd Article http://www.macndan.com/resources.html Since the beginning of the internet, search engines have been used to find relevant information of websites. The internet has become more than just a source of content but a means for doing business and e-commerce. Meta Tag keywording, content site keywording, indexing and cross site linking have all been the primary focus for page one results within search engines. Studies have shown that people rarely navigate past page three or a search query within a search engine. Furthermore studies have also shown that most e-commerce that is generated through a websites is done so from a page one exposure from search engines. However, the internet is dynamically changing and what provided adequate search results in the past are no longer doing so today. Frequent and continual monitoring needs to be implemented in order to maintain consistent results.
