Web Poll Leader Launches Vizu Vote Maps Powered by Google and Records Conversion Increase of 69%

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 12, 2007

Vizu Corporation, a leader in providing free web polls and do-it-yourself market research, today announced the addition of vote maps to its poll results. The launch of Vizu vote maps concludes a series of redesign initiatives that resulted in a registration conversion increase of 69%.

“Like chocolate and peanut butter, polls and maps just go together,” says Vizu CEO, Dan Beltramo. The new interactive vote maps are a mashup powered by Google and allow Vizu users to see exactly where votes are being cast. The color-coded responses can be viewed from a world view all the way down to the zip code level. “Our users are curious by nature so adding maps to our polls was a natural fit for Vizu,” added Beltramo.

The Vizu free poll widget lets users create customized web polls and put them on sites, blogs or social networking pages. The polls are compatible with major blog platforms such as Blogger, TypePad and WordPress as well as popular social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook and Friendster.

The implementation of Vizu vote maps capped off a month of redesign development which also included user interface improvements and integration of Gigya’s Wildfire which allows one click posting of polls to social networks and blogs. These efforts produced a 69% increase in registration conversion, fulfilling the goal of making it easier to create and export polls.

“Vote maps are sure to entertain and engage our users,” says Wetpaint CEO Ben Elowitz. “The implementation of vote maps is just another example of Vizu’s commitment to innovation and exemplifies why Wetpaint selected Vizu as our polling partner for our consumer-friendly Wiki platform.”

Dynamic Page Solutions Introduces its Newest Real Estate Technology: IDX Fusion - An Algorithm-Smart, Indexable IDX Solution powered by MLS Content

Mesa, AZ (PRWEB) April 20, 2010

Dynamic Page Solutions, a leader in real estate technology development, announces the release of its latest product, IDX Fusion. The IDX solution makes it possible for real estate agents to keep their existing websites or blog, yet take advantage of a vastly broader spectrum of real estate targeted keywords. This system appends a powerful content management system (CMS) that can effectively increase traffic through the auto-creation of hundreds or thousands of topically themed, optimized web pages.

MLS database content is typically hidden within I-frames which search engines see as third party content. This leaves the owner of the site at a severe disadvantage for providing relevant real estate content for the search engines. Website and blog owners that use an I-framed IDX system must drive traffic by developing highly authoritative web pages that typically target a limited number of highly competitive keywords. The fully crawlable IDX Fusion solution automatically generates pages from MLS listings content and is optimized to cover a large array of focused keywords.

IDX Fusion can be appended to an existing root domain as a subdomain and blends seamlessly with the appearance of the existing web pages. We are experiencing very encouraging results by appending our solution to sites that are not currently using our spiderable IDX technology. Low performing sites can see a significant increase in traffic and it also works well for sites that win on high traffic keywords but miss the other 70-80% of the traffic that originates from long tail queries stated Larry Toppenberg, CEO of Dynamic Page Solutions.

In this market, there are agents that have spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of man hours customizing their site only to find that the content management system is incapable of using the power contained in MLS listings. Users will be pleased to know that IDX Fusion offers a solution to Internet visibility that is not dependent upon the core site. While the MLS Enhancer content management system offers optimal integration of MLS database content, the appended IDX Fusion solution or custom integration of the CMS extends tremendous traffic value to existing sites.

The automated process of optimizing listing data and presenting the property features in themed clusters creates unparalleled opportunities for pages to match search engine user queries with precision. Supplying exact matches for thousands of potential searches is what drives users of this technology to the first page of Google for thousands of terms. The power is in the aggregate number of pages that target less competitive keywords. The search engines are given numerous doorways that offer matches for real estate queries not just a few which is typical of real estate sites on the web.

Real estate is one of the most competitive verticals on the web. Now agents have three powerful choices when it comes to incorporating optimized MLS database content with personalized web platforms. IDX solutions that are fully search engine friendly and present the content in themed categories are the key to Internet visibility. Beginner agents to seasoned real estate Internet marketing professionals can benefit from the opportunity presented in the long tail of real estate search. Dynamic Page Solutions has been providing fully spiderable, auto-optimized real estate IDX solutions since 2004.

Real estate agents select Dynamic Page Solutions as their website and IDX provider because of the innovative use of MLS database content to create comprehensive keyword nets that win real estate traffic. Located in Mesa, Arizona, Dynamic Page Solutions has the capacity to sell and support their services nationwide.

WordPress Powered Custom Business Websites Now Available At James Schramko"s SuperFastWebsites

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) September 07, 2011

SuperFastWebsites announces the availability of its custom WordPress website development service. Schramko’s fairly recent visit to Google Australia revealed that around 50% of businesses have yet to take advantage of the internet to gain exposure – something that should be remedied as soon as possible. He says:

“With the internet fast becoming the modern phone book, the switch from analog to digital couldn’t be more timely. Businesses turning to the web enjoy far greater exposure as compared to advertising on local newspapers and magazines and is enhanced even further when their sites are built on WordPress.”

Why WordPress is fast becoming the number one choice

WordPress has really interesting stats to boast. In this year’s update on the State of the Word by Matt Mullenweg, the increasingly popular CMS tool is now powering over 14.7% of the world’s top websites. The report also claims that in the US, 22 out of every 100 newly activated domains are now running on WordPress. Though the platform does have many rivals, internet marketing expert James Schramko, CEO of SuperFastWebsites.com, is among the nearly 15% of users who prefer WordPress over its competitors. He explains:

“We’ve tried and tested many website solutions and it is safe to say that we have had the most success with WordPress than with any other platform in the market. Granted there are certain things another platform can handle better, but overall, WordPress has the advantage in general ease of use, plugin availability and features that allow sites to be found and indexed easier and faster by Google. Since Google is now essentially the new Yellow Pages, for business owners this can only mean one thing: reach your customers on Google with a Google friendly platform.”

Originally released as an open source blog tool in May of 2003, WordPress has been the subject of interest amongst the growing number of developers in the online community – a fact reinforced by over fifteen thousand plugins in existence to date, as stated by Matt Mullenweg.

“Developers can modify it in any way they see fit, one of the great advantages of WP being an open source tool. The possibilities are limitless for anyone creative enough” says Schramko.

Examples of highly visited websites built on WordPress include Yahoo! and The New York Times.

Simple yet complex

Schramko says: “It’s so easy even a caveman can do it – it is true in a sense that even people with little experience can build a functional blog in minutes. Complex matters however, such as design and layout which have been taken into consideration ever since the Panda update, require more than the technical skills of a caveman, so to speak.”

“There are designs and layouts that simply convert better than others and our team has spent years researching and perfecting this.” Schramko explained.

SuperFastWebsites is part of James Schramko’s SuperFastBusiness dedicated to the development of business websites for its clients worldwide. Since its establishment in 2009 the company has built over one thousand websites powered by WordPress – a testament of the company’s long experience in the business.

A team of highly-trained professionals will be working with you to get what you want out of your website. You can also choose from a wide range of slick, pre-made designs.
