SEOPressor Wave Still Going Strong: Crosses 2 Million Mark This Week

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 23, 2010

The SEO Guy Daniel Tan is currently busy toasting the success of his WordPress plug-in SEOPressor that was launched earlier this year amid a great deal of anticipation. Coming from the great guru who has been popular for bestsellers in the past such as the Backlink Syndication System and Rank Mover, SEOPressor was touted to be a big hit. That has just been proven true after SEOPressor crossed the 2 million mark earlier this week, which means there are over 2 million WordPress pages currently powered by SEOPressor.

SEOPressor now ranks among the top 10 bestsellers on the eBusiness category of their payment processor, ClickBank, a distinction that it has maintained over the past 7 weeks. People who have used the plug-in are commending on the high conversion rate, better search engine ranking, more traffic and easier sales that it is helping them achieve.

SEOPressor is a WordPress plug-in and an optimization tool both built into one. In a very innovative method, it does important search engine optimization automatically and suggests to users on how to better optimize their websites intelligently. As a result, major search engines like Google pick up the website in prominence to others since it is already well optimized.

SEOPressor Version 4.0 has also been released last month which takes care of some minor hiccups in the previous SEOPressor versions and makes it more user-friendly and intuitive. The tool performs the basic functions of its predecessors but adds to the performance with its stronger algorithms. In a nutshell, this new program can analyze keyword density and placement, length of content, title and header tags, font decorations and images and links. It can add ALT-tags to images, which, according to Daniel Tan, can improve the on-page optimization of a website.

The SEO Score, a hallmark of the SEOPressor tools has been revamped to work better with Google Analytics and to give a more precise picture of how the website will potentially rank on the Google tool. At the same time, its enhanced user-friendliness ensures that the user gets more suggestions from the service on how they can tweak their websites and make them rank better on the search engines. The intention is to bring more traffic on the website, thus enhancing its commercial prospects.

SEOPressor is available at http://seopressor.com with a video walkthrough on the features of SEOPressor.

American Association of Poison Control Centers Celebrates 50th Annual Poison Prevention Week

Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) March 14, 2012

The American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) will join local poison centers and poison prevention partners across the country in celebrating the 50th anniversary of National Poison Prevention Week March 18 through 24, 2012, according to Dr. Rick Dart, AAPCC president.

Since 1962, the President of the United States has proclaimed the third week of March as National Poison Prevention Week to raise awareness about the dangers of poisoning.

Much progress has been made in poisoning prevention in the 50 years since National Poison Prevention Week was first observed, Dart said. However, there is still much work to be done; poisoning is now the leading cause of death from unintentional injuries in the U.S. ahead of motor vehicle crashes and guns.

Fifty years ago, 3-year-old Philip was rushed to the nearest hospital 30 minutes away. Tragically, he had found and drunk a bottle of rat poison. Although every attempt was made to save his life, he lived only a few more hours. Fifty years later, his sister Cathy Seifried of Texas is still grieving. According to Seifried, her brothers death had long-lasting effects on her entire family. I had good parents, Seifried said. They managed to function and go through the daily motions, but as a family, we were broken.

Today, Seifried focuses on supporting poison control centers. If our family wouldve had access to the education, outreach and treatment services that todays poison centers offer, we may have avoided the heartbreak and devastation caused by my brothers death, Seifried said.

Cathys story illustrates the importance of the treatment services provided by Americas 57 poison centers, said Debbie Carr, AAPCC executive director. Unfortunately, federal budget cuts in 2011 reduced funding for poison centers by 36 percent; further cuts will make it difficult for poison centers to continue providing those essential, life-saving services.

According to Carr, Americas 57 poison centers are committed to safeguarding the health and well-being of every American through poison prevention and free, confidential, expert medical services. Poison centers respond to calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week in order to help those who have been exposed to toxic substances. They also are committed to providing information about how poisonings occur and ways to prevent them.

In 2010, U.S. poison centers answered more than 3.9 million calls, including nearly 2.4 million calls about human exposures to poisons. About 75 percent of all calls to poison centers originated in peoples homes, and about 71 percent of the people who called with poison emergencies were treated at home following the advice of poison center experts, saving millions of dollars in medical expenses.

Since 1962, the third week of March has been designated National Poison Prevention Week and has focused national attention on the dangers of poisonings and how to prevent them. Every day of this years 50th anniversary will focus on a poison-prevention-related theme:

Sunday, March 18 Poisonings Span a Lifetime
Monday, March 19 Children Act Fast So Do Poisons
Tuesday, March 20 Poison Centers: Saving Lives 24/7
Wednesday, March 21 Take Your Medicines Safely
Thursday, March 22 Home Safe Home
Friday, March 23 Poison Prevention Superheroes: Share Your Stories
Saturday, March 24 50 Ways To Prevent Poisonings

Philip has been gone for 50 years, Seifried said. I know there are many other stories just like his. For their sakes, please get involved with your local poison center in promoting poisoning prevention and the Poison Help number. You can make a difference.

If the unthinkable happens, its good to know help is just a phone call away, Dart said. Program your cell phone with the Poison Help number and post it near your home phone. 1-800-222-1222.

For more information, the media may contact Loreeta Canton, AAPCC communications manager, at 703.894.1863 or canton(at)aapcc(dot)org or Brett Schuster, communications assistant, at 703.894.1859 or schuster(at)aapcc(dot)org.

The AAPCC supports the nations 57 poison centers in their efforts to treat and prevent drug, consumer product, animal, environmental and food poisoning. Members staff the Poison Help hotline at 1-800-222-1222 that provides free, confidential, expert medical advice 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year from toxicology specialists, including nurses, pharmacists, physicians and poison information providers. In addition, the AAPCC maintains the only poison information and surveillance database in the United States, providing real-time monitoring of unusual poisoning patterns, chemical exposures and other emerging public health hazards. The AAPCC partners with federal agencies such as EPA, HRSA and the CDC, as well as private industry.

Wordpress Spy Software Smashes 1,100 Sales in Launch Week

London, UK (PRWEB) November 21, 2012

After starting his web business in 2010, Rob Cornish has become a successful online entrepreneur and keynote speaker. His latest product for digital product creators, affiliate marketers and local business consultants is SpyBar, a browser extension which allows users to reverse engineer competitors websites.

The software has caused quite a stir in the market with over 1,100 copies sold within the first 7 days of launch according to WarriorPlus.

One of the biggest challenges online business owners have is to keep up with the new features, tools and resources that are constantly being released onto the market, says Cornish, founder and CEO of Gain Higher Ground. SpyBar was born out of my own frustration of this.

Instead of struggling to stay informed by reading forums, blogs, newsletters and searching Google, SpyBar allows the user to save time by visiting competitor websites and instantly see which WordPress themes and plugins are being used.

The WordPress platform for website creation has become increasingly popular in recent years with over 57 million sites now in existence according to official WordPress.org statistics. One of the keys to this success has been its open architecture which allows third party developers to code and publish themes and plugins to customize the user experience. Although SpyBar primarily performs WordPress analysis it also goes beyond this realm, with newsletter, SEO and contact information provided as well.

… [another] problem with existing tools is that they are usually desktop or web based so you are forced so switch between them when you need to reverse engineer a site. said Cornish. Not only that but these tools are often expensive and cumbersome to use. SpyBar provides a high value, inexpensive solution to this right inside the users web browser saving both time and money.

The results that SpyBar provides are displayed instantly when the user clicks the softwares browser icon and are also hyperlinked for further research. For example, clicking a result for a WordPress theme or plugin takes you instantly to a new browser tab where SpyBar automatically performs a Google search to find the product page, reviews and tutorials on that item. Similarly, clicking on an SEO result will take the user directly to one of two resources where backlink information is displayed.

This makes is extremely easy for local business or niche marketers who use SEO for traffic generation to acquire the links of their competitors and boost their search engine rankings, added Cornish.

SpyBar software is available for popular web browsers on both the PC and Macintosh and is available, along with a video demonstration at the product website wpSpyBar.Com.

Rob Cornish, an ex-guitar teacher based in London, UK is founder and CEO of Gain Higher Ground which he started on a part time basis whilst still employed as an investment manager. Operating in different online niches, his company sells training, advice and software products.

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) December 13, 2012 E-commerce is flourishing as many people prefer to order online and get their products at home rather than searching for them in stores. With this in mind, many business owners decide it is time for their shop to go online; but the moment they want to make the switch they encounter the first problem: What platform is best for their activity and how can they set up an e-commerce website? Fiona Lewis, founder and CEO at Super Savvy Business, comes to help them with a new website video news release in which she explains what these entrepreneurs need to do in order to create professional and user-friendly websites. She begins her video release by sharing two of the platforms that can be used to set up an e-commerce. As most of you know, I am a big fan of WordPress websites, says Ms Lewis, and you certainly can make a WordPress website into a very functional and very sleek e-commerce platform. To do this, you are going to need a plugin, called Woo Commerce. There are several e-commerce plugins available, but Woo Commerce is currently I believe one of the best options around. However, when it comes to creating a website that only focuses on selling online, WordPress might not be the right solution. As Ms Lewis notices, if you want an e-commerce store which is strictly a commerce and its going to be a fairly large store, then you might want to look at some different options. One of the other open source platforms which is out there for e-commerce is called Magento. Going on, in the video release Fiona Lewis also tackles over the issue of the checkout process that online consumers need to be taken through and the tools that an online store needs to put at their clients disposal. Ms Lewis explains that in order to have a functional, practical and respectable e-commerce, one needs to make sure that the checkout process is easy and flexible; she refers to the possibility of checking the items in ones cart and updating them, having transparent security measures and shipping information, and the possibility for people to store their personal details by creating an account or by buying as a guest user. The second topic of the video release concerns WordPress plugins, and Ms Lewis decided it is time to speak about the three must-have plugins of every website. Fiona Lewis considers them essential plugins for WordPress, because they deal with three of the most important aspects of a website: SEO loading speed backup Insofar as the SEO aspect is concerned, Ms Lewis is of the opinion that the YOAST plugin is the right solution. It is an SEO-style plugin which helps you to optimize your pages for the search engines in regards to particular keywords she says. It has a whole pile of different functionalities and by installing this plugin you will be making your life a lot easier when it comes to giving search engines such as Google exactly what they want. When it comes to the loading speed of a website, it is a crucial aspect for both search engines and human visitors. Fiona Lewis recommends using W3 Total Cache because,apart from the fact that it is good from a search engine point of view, from a user point of view if your page loads quickly then you are likely to keep people from bouncing off your site and getting frustrated because the page is taking too long to load. Ms Lewis admits that, Ive used this plugin number of my sites and our clients sites at Super Savvy Websites and I really do believe it is the best option out there: you will notice a big increase in the time it takes for your pages to load when people are browsing through your website. A backup system is a vital element of each website and of each business, so it is important to make sure that each business has an online backup for their website. Ms Lewis comes with a solution: she recommends online businesses to use the plugin called Online Backup for WordPress. She explains her choice saying that, it not only allows you to backup your database which includes things like your pages, posts and comments, but also the file system which includes media and attachments and other things like your themes and plugins. When you have your backup done, you can have it emailed to you as a zip file or you can use the online storage system where you get 100 GB of free storage from the plugin creators themselves.
