    Google+ and SEO

    Make sure that you're switching over and using it as a page, similar to Facebook. I did another blog post on Google+ that explains this a little here: http://www.trippoinc.com/marketing/getting-the-most-from-google-plus-for-your-bb/

    Google+ and SEO

    JB, as of right now, in my opinion Google+ is only beneficial for SEO. Check out this infographic for a more telling story: http://socialtimes.com/files/2011/12/who_is_using_google_plus.png Yes, it has 40 million users, but only 17% are actually active. And activity seems to be declining. Other...

    Google+ Launches Pages for Businesses

    If you want a short URL for sharing your Google+ page many people are using http://gplus.to/. It's an unofficial way, but will work until Google allows for custom URL's. Ours is http://gplus.to/trippo

    Google+ Launches Pages for Businesses

    Yes, I believe you need a personal account first, and then can create a business page as an administrator. Similar to how Facebook does it.

    FB Protocol - Now what am I supposed to do?

    Okay, I think the problem is that they have different names. Rename one so that they have the exact same page names. Then go to the one you want to keep and see if the merge link is there.

    FB Protocol - Now what am I supposed to do?

    Try removing 1 of the administrator accounts for both pages. Make sure both pages only have 1 administrator and that it's the same administrator for both pages. Then make sure you're logged in as that administrator and see if you can follow the steps to merge them again. If you need to you can...

    FB Protocol - Now what am I supposed to do?

    Are you saying you have two pages on TripAdvisor you want to merge? Or that TripAdvisor created a page for your inn on Facebook that you want to merge with your real facebook page? If you provide links I can look into it. If you want to email them to me in private it's [email protected].

    FB Protocol - Now what am I supposed to do?

    Nope, nothing you need to do. I noticed that your inn has two facebook pages. Do you administer both of them? If so you should merge them into one. You can find instructions for that here: http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=249601088403018

    Feedback: Our first B&B website

    Those keywords are the main keywords for the overall website. Each individual page is optimized for that pages content (including attractions for the attractions page). As far as title bars go I can only assume you're referencing that the keywords should be the first thing in the title? While...

    Feedback: Our first B&B website

    Man you guys are harsh :) I understand the dislike with the color and images, and I'll discuss it with the client. Like I mentioned the rooms and restaurant pages are incomplete so those will be improved soon. As for the Facebook and Twitter, while some might not like it being pushed on the...

    Feedback: Our first B&B website

    Hey JB, yes we can handle the constructive criticism :) Completely agree with the rooms photo. We're also doing a separate website for their restaurant and the innkeepers are taking additional pictures of the inside of the inn and their food and all of the rooms so we're just waiting on them to...
