Facebook provides a convienent way to communicate with your customers and to attract new ones on their social media network. Here are the most important Facebook Fan Page Tips to follow when creating and maintaining those relationships with Facebook Fans.

Make it Easy for Your Customer to Become a Facebook Fan
Drive customers to your fan page from your website, newsletter, network or Facebook Ads. A Facebook Fan Page should be considered an additional touchpoint to current and future customers.  By encouraging current customers to become a Facebook Fan, your company will then be able to communicate to them through a new channel. With a Facebook Fan Page, not only do you have a new way to communicate with an existing customer, but you will have a powerful vehicle to access new customers through the Facebook Fan Page social network.

Don’t make it hard for your customers and fans to Like your Facebook Fan Page. Your customer is more likely to become a Fan from your corporate website, newsletter or another social network than searching for you on Facebook.

Create a “Call to Action” to Like the Fan Page
It’s an unfortunate mistake to get a customer to your Facebook Fan Page and then have them leave without ever Liking your page. Create a strong “Call to Action” to get them to Like your page on their first visit.

On the Britney Spears Fan Page you are presented with her latest music videos, but you must Like the page before you can watch them. On the BMW page, a large arrow points to the Like button and says “Click on the above button to Like BMW”.  Contests and coupons can encourage Liking your page; tell visitors about special offers, contests and first looks at new products to encourage them to be Fans.

Promote Contests, Coupons and Giveaways
A contest is a great way to entice customers to join and participate on a company’s Facebook Fan Page.  Your contest could be a treasure hunt, best Fan photo or best story relating to a product or your company. Just remember to require the participant to Like your Facebook Fan Page to take part in the contest.

Coupons can motivate people to Like your page and tell their friends too. You can even use the Coupon as a vehicle to gather an email address if the proposition is attractive enough. Evaluate the ROI of the coupon relative the lifetime value of the customer, i.e. you might break-even or lose money on the first transaction but be profitable over the entire period of time the customer has a relationship with your company. You can even give away products. On the Coca-Cola Fan Page you can send any of your friends a free cola.

Map Out a Schedule for Posts
Not all companies are created equal. If you are a camera company you can get away with posting a new photo every day to your Facebook Fan Page. They’ll appreciate it and it will inspire them to create their own photos with a camera from your company. But if you’re a soft drink company, it’s not likely that you can post daily and have it be interesting for a hundreds of days.

Design a posting schedule that is right for your company and fans. The last thing you want is to have them Unlike your page because they’re annoyed with your posts. You have to balance top-of-mind awareness with having your fans longing for your next communication. It’s a trick to get it right.

Create a Resource
Make your Facebook Fan Page a one-of-a-kind resource. The Fan Page is a great place to include brand specific photo albums, videos, music or audio, information, events and more.  Take advantage of the Facebook Apps that have the potential to expose your company or brand to your fan’s network. Think “viral resources”, i.e. what resources can you make available on your Fan Page that not only delivers welcome value to your Fan, but also motivates them to share.  You can even let your Fans upload their own photos and videos about your product or company.

Create a Unique Page Image
The very essence of Facebook is the face associated with a user or Fan Page. It’s important to be creative, to understand your brand and to make the Facebook Profile Photo the most compelling image on your page.

This image is associated with each post on your wall and it’s the first thing most people see when the see your page. Don’t simply display your company logo. This is the face of your brand.  It has to convey the positive and compelling emotion of your company.

Schedule Events on Your Fan Page
Facebook has good support for events on Fan Pages. For example, if you’re a musician you can invite fans to a concert or an artist can invite fans to a gallery showing.  If you’re a politician, you can invite fans to a Town Hall or speaking engagement. Events are not only a great way to engage fans but are displayed to a fan’s friend network.

Even in the virtual world you can schedule a Webinar to be viewed by a world-wide audience. You can invite your fans to a product launch event online. Don’t forget to be creative when it comes to events. If you offer a bonus to R.S.V.P. to an event, you’re ahead of the game.

Ask Questions
Questions are a compelling vehicle for creating a conversation with your fans. If you ask the right Question, you can expand virally into your fan’s network. The Question app behaves similarly to a Facebook share function. When one of your fans answers your Question, it then posts on the Wall of the person who answered the question to be viewed by your fan’s friends.

So if you’re a musician and you ask a Question to fans on what their favorite song is, not only do you gather valuable market data, but you get the fan engaged as well as their friends. Anybody that answers the Question can then follow the Question and even receive updates on answers from other fans.

Conclusion
Be creative when it comes to your Facebook Fan Page. It complements all the other ways your company communicates with your customer. Utilize the strengths of a powerful social network and make it fun.

On page SEO is recommended every time a new web page is created for a website. Once you’ve determined the Primary Keyword for the page, here’s a checklist of the best on page seo tips to follow that will increase the ranking of any page:

1. Write Great Content
The most important element for on page SEO is to create compelling content for the user and to be highly relevant to the keyword that will bring the reader to the page. Longer articles (at least 500 words) have been ranked higher by Google in their major 2011 upgrade.

2. Include Keyword in First Paragraph and “Grab Your Reader”
The first paragraph should include the primary keyword and tell the reader what you’re about to tell them in the body of the text. The first paragraph should relate to the Meta Description and be compelling enough to encourage the visitor to read the entire article. Remember. 1) Tell them what you’re going to tell them. 2) Tell them. 3) Tell them what you told them.

3. Include Keyword in Title Tag
The primary keyword should be included in the Title Tag at the beginning of the text and account for at least 20% of the total text. Use the | symbol to separate the keyword from the remainder of the Title Tag text.

4. Include Keyword in URL
The primary keyword should be included in the URL separated by hyphens. The primary keyword, especially with long tail keywords, should occupy at least 50% of the URL. The more focused the keyword in the URL, the better. This is a highly ranked factor of on page SEO.

5. Create a Meta Description that will Grab Readers
The Meta Description serves as the “Ad Copy” in the SERP (Search Engine Results Page). Not only should it be highly relevant to the primary keyword, but it should be the compelling lead-in copy to the first paragraph of the article.

6. Include Keyword in Meta Keywords
Most modern SEO research has concluded that Meta Keywords are no longer as important as they used to be for on page SEO. The Meta Keywords Tag should only include the primary keyword and several variations.

7. Balance Keyword Density Relative to Top 10 SERP Listings
Keyword Density used to be much more important than it is today. But modern search engine analytics now seeks out and penalizes so-called ”keyword spamming”.  The best guideline for keyword density is to analyse the top 10 SERP listings for the keyword that you are optimizing for. Using the old metric of 2-5% keyword density, balance this with the top 10 for an ideal density for on page SEO. But don’t sacrifice good grammar and english for keyword density. If it doesn’t read well, don’t do it.

8. Link from Host Website with Keyword in Anchor Text
Each link from the host website should use the keyword in the Anchor Text.

9. Link from External Sites with Keyword in Anchor Text
For external pages that you create, always use the primary keyword and variations as anchor text when linking back to page. Anchor text, along with the URL that contains the primary keyword is currently one of the highest ranking factors for on page SEO.

10. Include Keyword in Main Image URL and Alt Tag
If your article contains images, including the primary keyword in the image URL and Alt Tag can increase rankings in the SERP. If there is more than one image, use variations of the keyword that are appropriate for the image.

11. Use Schema Attributes Where Appropriate
Follow the guidelines at the Schema website for attributes such as author, image and video objects and whether the content is about TV, movies or other similar themes. This is one of the most important factors in modern on page SEO.

12. Use Bold / Strong / Italics Attributes in Text Body
Highlight the primary keyword with Bold, Strong or Italics from one to two times, one of these in the first paragraph.

In summary, writing great content is the top priority for on page SEO. As search engine analytics getting smarter and more sophisticated, ultimately the job they are trying to perform is to find the best content for the keyword typed into the search engine. This checklist will help you make great web pages for readers and search engines alike.

The Science of God-Part I

Most religions agree that God is the Light, but they often fail to realize that the Sun produces over 99% of the light for our Solar System.  They also often lack the understanding of Quantum Physics to conclude that Photons of light are carriers of intelligence, just like a radio transmitter frequency modulates (FM) music onto a carrier wave known as a channel.

The Quarks of sub-atomic particles bound together with gluons comprise a sophisticated transmitter and receiver of intelligence that goes beyond the scope of point charges. While it is true that collisions of sub-atomic particles predictably result in pre-determined outcomes that can be expressed as Feynman Diagrams, the variable is the intelligence encoded on these very high frequency carriers. This is the Intelligence of God.

Every atom in the universe emits photons that contain intelligence. But based on atomic half-lives, exposure to other sub-atomic particles and a variety of chemical and biochemical circumstances, each atom varies in its production of light. Even humans emit light, in fact, almost 50% of the calories consumed every day, result in the production of photons and other forms of radiation.  We literally transmit intelligence spatially to everything around us.

Light exhibits unique properties dictated by Einstein’s proven Theory of Relativity. The results of the Lorentz Transforms conclude that light has Energy and Mass that approach infinity, relative to objects around it and that its volume and time approach zero.  When examining these particles of intelligence under the scrutiny of Relativity and Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, it becomes more clear the dynamic and intelligent nature of these “point particles”, that are in reality, sophisticated worlds that man can barely conceive, less alone observe or measure.

Cosmic Background Radiation is “God’s Will”, if you may. CBR is the blueprint of this universe, which is merely a grain of sand in the sea of universes. You could view CBR as a grand orchestra containing instruments that are orchestras containing instruments that are orchestras, and so on.  Free will is just  the organism, such as humans, or galaxies or microbes playing their “instrument” that is their physical vessel. Everyone has observed the same instrument, playing music that delights and music that sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard. Furthermore, an instrument that alone plays beautiful music but is out of sync with the rest of the orchestra, stresses the orchestra, and has an impact on the rest of the orchestra, disproportionate to its relative importance as a single instrument and is frequently referred to as the Butterfly Effect in Chaos Theory.

Last but not least, all forces of nature, electromagnetism, the strong interaction, the weak interaction and gravity can be expressed as electromagnetic energy as defined by Supersymmetry. Read more about this and its relationship to the Creator in my next article.

Carbon

Overview
Carbon occurs in all organic life and is the basis of organic chemistry. This nonmetal also has the interesting chemical property of being able to bond with itself and a wide variety of other elements, forming nearly ten million known compounds. When united with oxygen it forms carbon dioxide, which is vital to plant growth. When united with hydrogen, it forms various compounds called hydrocarbons which are essential to industry in the form of fossil fuels. When combined with both oxygen and hydrogen it can form many groups of compounds including fatty acids, which are essential to life, and esters, which give flavor to many fruits. The isotope carbon-14 is commonly used in radioactive dating.

Notable characteristics
Carbon is a remarkable element for many reasons. Its different forms include the hardest naturally occurring substance (diamond) and one of the softest substances (graphite) known. Moreover, it has a great affinity for bonding with other small atoms, including other carbon atoms, and its small size makes it capable of forming multiple bonds. These attributes are mostly responsible for carbon’s unique ability to form such numerous compounds, in fact, the majority of all chemical compounds.

We Are Carbon Based Life
Carbon compounds form the basis of all life on Earth and the carbon-nitrogen cycle provides some of the energy produced by the Sun and other stars. Moreover, carbon has the highest melting/sublimation point of all elements. At atmospheric pressure it has no actual melting point. Its triple point is at 10 MPa (100 bar), so it sublimates above 4000 K. Thus it remains solid at higher temperatures than the highest melting point metals like tungsten or rhenium, regardless of its allotropic form.

Carbon Not Present during Early Period of Big Bang
Carbon was not created during the initial expansion of the Big Bang. This is due to the fact that it needs a triple collision of alpha particles (helium nuclei), in order to be produced. The universe initially expanded and cooled too fast for that to be possible. It is produced, however, in the interior of stars in the horizontal branch, where stars transform a helium core into carbon by means of the triple-alpha process. It was also created in a multi-atomic state.

Applications
Carbon is a very important component of all known living systems, along with Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen. Without it, life as we know it could not exist. The major economic use of carbon is in the form of hydrocarbons, most notably the fossil fuel methane gas and crude oil (petroleum). Crude oil is used by the petrochemical industry to produce, amongst others, gasoline and kerosene, through a distillation process, in refineries. Crude oil forms the raw material for many synthetic substances, many of which are collectively called plastics.

Other uses

• The isotope carbon-14 was discovered on February 27, 1940 and is used in radiocarbon dating.
• Graphite is combined with clays to form the ‘lead’ used in pencils.
• Diamond is used for decorative purposes, and also as drill bits and other applications making use of its hardness.
• Carbon is added to iron to make steel.
• Carbon is used as a neutron moderator in nuclear reactors.
• Carbon fibre, which is mainly used for composite materials, as well as high-temperature gas filtration.
  Carbon black is used as a filler in rubber and plastic compounds.
• Graphite carbon in a powdered, caked form is used as charcoal for grilling, artwork and other uses.
• Activated charcoal is used in medicine (as powder or compounded in tablets or capsules) to adsorb toxins, poisons, or gases from the digestive system.
• The chemical and structural properties of fullerenes, in the form of carbon nanotubes, has promising potential uses in the nascent field of nanotechnology.

History and Etymology
Carbon was discovered in prehistory and was known to the ancients, who manufactured it by burning organic material in insufficient oxygen (making charcoal). Diamonds have long been considered rare and beautiful. One of the last-known allotropes of carbon, fullerenes, were discovered as byproducts of molecular beam experiments in the 1980s.

The name comes from French charbone, which in turn came from Latin carbo, meaning charcoal. In German and Dutch, the names for carbon are Kohlenstoff and koolstof respectively, both literally meaning “coal-stuff”.

3D Torus – Mathematics

In geometry, a torus (pl. tori) is a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle, which does not touch the circle. Examples of tori include the surfaces of doughnuts, inner tubes and particle accelerators used to examine the fundamental components of atoms. A circle rotated about a chord of the circle is called a torus in some contexts, but this is not a common usage in mathematics. The shape produced when a circle is rotated about a chord resembles a round cushion. Torus was the Latin word for a cushion of this shape.

According to a broader definition, the generator of a torus need not be a circle but could also be an ellipse or any other conic section.
