To turn off Facebook indexing Google, simply go to settings > privacy > search. You’ll then see a box, which you should unclick. This should sort the problem out, but it might be worth going through your privacy options carefully, to see what other information is accessible to others.

Here are some ways to increase traffic to your blog:

1- Sign up to forums in your niche. Link out to your post if the thread is relevant and engage users. YOUR READERS are the people in the forums looking for information you may have already written about that they can use.

2- You can use Pay-Per-Click as a channel to drive more traffic. Choose the most affordable keywords and create large ad groups bidding very low for relevant keywords. This will surely increase your traffic. You may pay at first but long-term results can be well worth it.

3- Offer something for FREE. Offering something such as a free EBOOK can increase traffic because either readers will share it with others or other bloggers will link to the page driving traffic. Make sure to include your blogs URL anywhere you offer something free.

4- Write guest post in blogs similar to your niche. THIS DOES WORK. Reach out to the bigger blogs in your niche and ask to write a guest post. They will be happy to add more good relevant content so why not? Also a good network resource.

5- You can always find something worth while about your blog everyone should know. There are plenty of free PRESS RELEASE websites out there that allow you to place a link to your blog.

6- Article marketing is still a good way to drive traffic. It may not be the best SEO resource, but if you write quality content and place a link back to your blog, it will surely make a difference. Submit your articles to websites such as eZine.

7- Twitter has been a great channel as a traffic driver. Place a link to good post from your blogs and try to get as many followers as possible. Remember to add twitter buttons to ALL your post.

8- Social bookmarking websites is still a MAJOR source of traffic and can not only help you with link building but driving traffic. Submit your post to pages such as DIGG.com, PROPELLER.com, and others. You can find good list online for these.

9- Create and Submit RSS Feeds. Feeds can always be a good source of traffic. Submit your blogs RSS feeds to all the blog rss feed directories you can. If you find some with good PR, even better.

On the Adcenter Community blog, there is a great post about easy steps to targeting your demographic when creating a pay-per-click campaign. So, how can you determine the target demographic for your keywords? One tool that many people don’t know exist and can be very useful to build your campaign is the Microsoft Forecast Tool which gives you demographic data based on your keyword.

Now, for setting this criteria in the search engine while building your campaign (steps and instructions taken from blog post)

Applying demographic targeting is a simple process that can be done right in Microsoft adCenter. Demographic targets can be set at the Campaign or the Ad Group level.

1) Select the Campaigns tab

2) If you would like to set demographic targets to the Campaign level, select Edit

3) If you would like to set demographic targets to the Ad Group level, select the Ad group on which you would like to implement this functionality

4) To the right of the Campaign or Ad Group name, select Change settings

5) Under Campaign targeting and to the right of Target your customers by location, select Edit





6) Under Targeting setting, select Demographic on the left





7) Ensure the Apply campaign settings check box is unchecked if applying age or gender to specific ad groups

– If this box is cleared, no campaign-level age or gender targeting will be applied

– If this box is missing, there is no campaign-level age or gender targeting

To specify an incremental by for an age or gender group, select a value in the corresponding base bid + drop-down lists

9) Select Apply and then Save

Many companies do seek a translation company to translate their website and build a whole new page with their page in secondary languages. Google has just released a widget that can make this way easier to the customer. In the click of a buttom, this widget will turn the website to the language of your choice.

Google tells all about this widget in their new blog post, as they state, “Today, we’re happy to announce a new website translator gadget powered by Google Translate that enables you to make your site’s content available in 51 languages. Now, when people visit your page, if their language (as determined by their browser settings) is different than the language of your page, they’ll be prompted to automatically translate the page into their own language. If the visitor’s language is the same as the language of your page, no translation banner will appear.”

All this takes a simple piece of code to put into your website. You can find it now in the Google Website Translator.

As a tip for those of you who deal with international customers and have experienced issues in your customer service department with customers (potential and current) sending emails in other languages other than English and your customer service reps dont speak that language, try to Google Translate tool.
