iPhone 5: Apple's Biggest, Smartest, Fastest Yet







The wait is over. Apple announced its newest iPhone today at an event in San Francisco and, as rumored, it
is indeed larger than its predecessors, runs 4G LTE, and has a bigger, better display. After months of speculation and a litany of leaks, the new device is indeed called the iPhone 5 and nearly everything about it is an improvement over the iPhone 4S.

The iPhone had a growth spurt. Gone is the 3.5-inch display that has defined previous iPhones, replaced by a 4-inch display. Apple increased the screen resolution as well, improving from 960x640 pixels in the iPhone 4S to 1136x640 for the iPhone 5. The screen now supports a movie standard 16:9 aspect ratio.

Despite being longer, the iPhone 5 is thinner and lighter than the 4S. At 7.6 millimeters, the iPhone 5 is 18% thinner as well as 20% lighter (112 grams) than the 4S. During the keynote, Apple called it the “world’s thinnest smartphone.” Actually, while the iPhone 5 is impressively thin, it is not the world’s thinnest smartphone. That honor goes to the Droid Razr, which sports a 7.1mm-thin body.

Apple also unveiled its newest processor running the iPhone, the A6, which promises to double performance from the A5 chip inside the iPhone 4S. The A6 is also 22% smaller than the A5 and will launch apps 2.1 times faster, according to Apple.

The least surprising but perhaps the most significant aspect of the iPhone 5 is that it now supports 4G LTE. In the U.S., that means the iPhone will run on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. In Canada the iPhone will run on Rogers, Bell, Telus, Virgin Mobile, Fido and Koodo.

The battery life on the iPhone 5 is improved, though Apple is never very specific on battery specifications during its keynote presentations. Apple claims that the iPhone 5 will deliver 10 hours of video playback, 8 hours of browsing using 4G LTE and 8 hours of 3G talk time with 225 hours of standby. Those numbers are actually almost exactly the same as the iPhone 4S, but considering the larger screen and more powerful processor, the battery of the iPhone 5 is definitely improved.

The camera is still 8 megapixels, as was its predecessor, but Apple has improved the color saturation, optics and software that runs the camera to perform faster and more precisely. The camera now supports shared photo streams and panorama modes for landscape pictures. It also has a sapphire lens that will enhance focus and create crisper images.

One of the biggest controversies surrounding the iPhone 5 is that Apple has changed the dock connector. Called “Lightning” (to match its Thunderbolt connector for its PCs), the new dock connector is 80% smaller. The Lightning connector has an all digital, 8-signal design (for improved data transfer) and is more durable than the 30-pin connector Apple has employed since 2003.

The iPhone 5 will be available for pre-order on September 14th, starting at $199 for the 16 GB model. The 32 GB will retail for $299 and 64 GB at $399 with a carrier contract.

Overall, the iPhone 5 is a big step up from anything that Apple has produced so far. Is it enough to excite consumers?

Article Marketing: How to Write Articles That Google Would Love


Article marketing is still one of the most used and most loved traffic generating tools of most webmasters. This is not only because it's cost-effective and relatively easy but also because it's the best way to Google's heart. If you write articles that are written based on the unspoken rules or algorithms of this giant search engine, you can be assured that you'll get the kind of exposure and attention that you need in the online arena. This means enormous quality traffic that can result to more sales leads.
The question here is, how can you write an article that Google will love?
Well, Google would like you to write with this thing in mind; impress your readers before you think of the search engines. Is that a shocker? I'm sure it is for other article marketers who are still focusing on loading their articles with different keywords and keyphrases. With Google panda update, this search engine is now looking much deeper in terms of quality. That means, if you cannot convince it that you're giving real value to online users, you can say goodbye to amazing page ranking.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can create search engine-friendly articles:
First, know what online users are looking for. Using Google keyword tracker, identify the most searched terms and phrases related to your niche. Use these to determine the kind of topics or information that are usually being searched for by your target audience and simply give it to them. For example, if your potential clients are looking for tutorials related to DSLR photography, give them exactly what they're looking for. If online users are happy with your content, you'll get the nod of Google.

Offer unique information. If you plan to just rewrite the articles or web content you see online, you better stop right there. Google will not consider your articles a great source of information if you've got nothing unique to offer. So, be willing to impart your in-depth knowledge and share your secrets. This is one way to make your articles stand out from the crowd.
Ensure that your articles are perfectly written. It's your job to ensure that your articles are pleasurable to read. So, check them before you publish them online. Ensure that they don't have grammar, spelling, formatting, and factual errors. Also, ensure that they're easy on the eyes and very easy to understand.

Use keywords. After writing and proofreading your articles, the next step that you need to take is to insert relevant keywords. Your main keyword should appear on your title, on the first and last paragraphs of your article (preferably on the first or last sentences), and a couple of times on your article body. It's best if you can ensure that they're at least 100 words apart from each other. Observe keyword density which is 5% of your article's word count. Don't forget to read your articles aloud after inserting your keywords to ensure that they sound natural and that they won't affect the reading experience of your audience.

By the way, do you want to learn more about using articles like this to drive traffic to your website and increase online conversions?

Google Launches Knowledge Graph in All English-Speaking Countries


Back in May, Google launched its much-anticipated 'Knowledge Graph' in the US, and in August it has extended that coverage to all English-speaking countries. The overall goal behind this is to create, in Google co-founder Larry Page's oft-quoted words, "the perfect search engine... [one] that understands exactly what you mean and gives you back exactly what you want."

So what is the Knowledge Graph exactly? According to Google's official blog announcing the roll-out it's a "database of more than 500 million real-world people, places and things with 3.5 billion attributes and connections." Essentially it's the latest step towards a search engine that 'understands'. While in the past Google would just match up your search term with strings of text on its billions of indexed pages, with the Knowledge Graph you can get results based on the actual meaning of the words you enter.

The deeper meaning of search
For example, if you now search for 'Lincoln' in the UK, Google automatically displays useful Wikipedia-like information about the county town of Lincolnshire along the right hand side. But it also allows for the fact that this might not be what you're looking for, so provides the option to see results about Abraham Lincoln, or the biopic film Lincoln.

It also attempts to determine your exact meaning based on your location. Type 'Lincoln' into Google.com and your results will be far more geared towards the 16th US president, as well as luxury cars and SUVs offered by the American car manufacturer Lincoln.

SEO and the Knowledge Graph
In effect, Google is using the information it's gathered to deliver more accurate results to users more quickly. But what does it mean for your SEO strategy?

Early indications are that Knowledge Graph hasn't had a massive impact on search rankings for commercial websites, but it's one to watch as Google's object database expands. Meanwhile, the smart money is on continuing to make your site as relevant to your target users as possible, to ensure that the right people find you on search.

Of course, if the main aim of your site is to provide information then you may have to up your ante a little. If Google has already provided the user with an informative summary of the subject, you're going to have to work harder to provide them something they can't get elsewhere. And for that, great content and usability is a wise place to start.

Reach More People on Twitter


Before going to explore how to get more followers on Twitter, you should know why people choose to follow others. The main reasons why you would have any significant followership on Twitter are:
  • You are a celebrity
  • Your tweets are inspiring, funny, informative or unique in some other way
  • Following is beneficial in some way to your followers

While you may not be able to do much about the first reason above immediately, you can do a lot about the second and third

The basic principle of getting more Twitter followers is two-sided but simple: promote your Twitter account on other media and/ or promote yourself or your products on Twitter. This is the base on which every method of getting more followers rests.

One way not to go is buying followers. It is unethical and illegal. You do not want your "followers" wondering who you are when they see your tweets.

Promoting yourself or products on Twitter:
  • Promote your profile, tweets or trends using the various solutions offered on Twitter.
  • Keep your tweets interesting and useful. Chances are that your followers will want to share them with their own followers or friends.
  • Make use of a crowd-puller such as a contest. This is a great way to attract new followers. Offer attractive prizes, and tweet about your contest as much as you like.

Promoting your Twitter account on other sites or media:
  • Blog about your Twitter account and suggest that people follow you in your blog posts
  • Guest blogging: You can post blogs on other blogs and encourage people to connect with you via Twitter.
  • Podcasts: Create your own podcasts using any of the various online solutions or get featured on a popular podcast. Just be sure to mention your Twitter account let your know that they should connect with you if they want to continue getting such "great podcasts"!
  • Information products: Create an information product (such as an e-book, tutorial or webinar) about your business and display your Twitter account on every page. Encourage your audience to follow you on Twitter to get clarification or additional information or ask them to tweet their questions.
  • Put your Twitter ID on everything you make, especially promotional items and souvenirs.
  • Mention your Twitter account every time you have the opportunity to speak. If you are using presentation software such as Power Point, make sure to put your Twitter account on the screen.
