RankFixer.com Enters the SEO Tools Market

Personally, I have been in the SEO game for 8 years. In my short time in this field I have come across very few people that inspire my SEO theory and challenge the way I practice. A little under 6 months ago I met Jeff at a Seattle SEO Network event. Quickly I understood that Jeff was this type of person. Jeff Sliger told us stories of a new SEO tool that his team was building, RankFixer.com.

When he was describing the tool kit he mentioned said, Think SEOmoz tools for the person just getting into SEO. The seo tool industry is dominated by players like SEOmoz, Raven Tools, and SEO Power suite (just to name a few). These tools require a robust understanding of the industry and have a steep learning curve.

Picture this. Lets say youre the marketing director at a small company with 15 employees. Your boss comes up to you and pronounces you the new director of SEO. Your thought is, Eh..SEO?Whats that. RankFixer supplies the needed information in an easy to understand format that will allow this person to exceed in their new role as the director of SEO.

Easy to understand analysis Once the tool produces results it also displays easy to understand descriptions of what the numbers mean:

Content Analysis The content analysis shows the on page elements that are critical to SEO. Each element is paired with educational copy regarding why the elements are critical to SEO.

Link Analysis: The link analysis section pulls data from the OpenSite explorer API (among other APIs) presents it in an easy to digest manner.

VRL Knowledgebank – Digital Micropayments Grow Rapidly As Market Takes Off

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The Making Money from Micropayments Report released today by top financial and professional services information provider, VRL, finds that revenues generated by utilising collective micropayments for virtual and digital goods is forecast to nearly triple by 2015.

The growth of broadband infrastructure and e-commerce coupled with the rise in social networks, social gaming, and virtual currency has led to a shift from face-to-face, physical payments to the monetisation of digital content, resulting in the emergence of new micropayment business models. Social gaming has been a key driver; between 2007 and 2009 online games with built-in virtual currency systems have proliferated with around 400 million active users on these platforms.

James Duckworth, Reports Editor, VRL Financial News comments: Growth in the micropayments industry continues to exceed expectations, and opportunities for providers to service this market are tantalising. Companies like PayPal have an opportunity to significantly increase their revenues and market share, and as a result may pose a serious threat to banks profitability. What is clear from this report is that there is genuine demand for a micropayments solution from the payments industry, particularly as a result of the growth in virtual currency, estimated at $5bn annually.

The Making Money from Micropayments Report is essential reading for businesses with a stake in capitalising on this increasingly valuable market. It contains case studies on companies already doing this successfully, including Facebook, Vodafone and Zynga, and examines the opportunities across data, music, software and services, which can be rapidly downloaded for a fraction of the physical price. The report further examines the business case for micropayments, emerging business models and examines payment card and service providers. It also looks at the rise of new payments services and user interfaces, and ultimately aims to quantify the micropayments opportunity.

MBB | Orange will look to push tempo against patient Badgers team

BOSTON C.J. Fair cracked a bit of a smile and then declined to answer the question. When asked about the difference in athleticism between Syracuse and Wisconsin, the SU sophomore wanted no part of that discussion.

Thats because there is no comparison. But Fair knew better than to create bulletin board material the day before the Sweet 16 matchup between the Orange and the Badgers.

Thursday night marks a date between two teams with polar opposite philosophies. Top-seeded Syracuse (33-2) has dominated teams this season by pushing the tempo and getting out in transition whenever possible. Wisconsin (26-9), by contrast, has the best scoring defense in the country and plays a methodical, slow-down game against its opponents.

Thus the battle over tempo becomes crucial, as each team will try to impose its very different style onto the other.

In the Big East we were able to play both (styles), SU guard Brandon Triche said. We had a few games playing in the 50s. A lot of teams tried to slow us down. I think the biggest thing for us is being able to rebound, try to speed them up a little bit as much as we can.

Bo Ryans team holds its opponents to 52.9 points per game this season, best in Division I and more than a full point of second-place Virginia.

Its a stark contrast from the points-happy team the Badgers face Thursday. All season long, Syracuse has run teams out of the gym with backbreaking stretches to blow games open. SU enters the game against Wisconsin scoring 74.5 points per game.

This isnt the first time weve faced a team like that, but obviously they are extremely good at (fast breaking) and extremely athletic, and they run with the best of them, Wisconsin forward Jared Berggren said. So we are going to have to do a good job of sticking to our system, taking care of the ball, getting good shots and thats the things that help us be successful.

Syracuse forward James Southerland said the Orange must be prepared to defend for at least 30 seconds on every defensive possession. Offensive efficiency is the trademark of Bo Ryans swing offense, and his point guard, Jordan Taylor, is as efficient as they come.

Taylor holds the best assist-to-turnover ratio in the history of NCAA basketball among players with at least 400 career assists.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: Open mic day

I was hoping to have a very special guest on TUAW TV Live today, but that fell through... What that means, since I'm not really up for blathering by myself for a full hour, is that we're going to have an open mic day on the show.

If you'd like to state an opinion, make a fool of yourself, talk about the iPhone 6S, recite bad poetry about Steve Jobs, complain about your hot iPad, or plug a new app that you wrote last night in your sleep, send me your Skype handle (tuawsteve at gmail dot com) ASAP and I'll get you scheduled for a quick chat (no more than ten minutes) on the show.

As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT / 10 PM BST) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the demos start. To join in on the chat and watch the live streaming video, drop by TUAW about five minutes before the start time to get your instructions on how to participate. If you're unable to join us for the show, remember that you can always subscribe to the video podcast and watch the show at your leisure in iTunes or any other favorite podcatching app. The past shows are also available on the TUAW YouTube channel.

The chat is now available as well on IRC: join us on server chat1.ustream.tv, chat room #tuaw-tv.
