Top 5 inforgraphic sites you need to register

Infographics can be useful for explaining business processes and logistics, or for explaining the size, scope, scale or nuance of a project or service. Here are five of the best tools for putting together your own business infographics.

Visual.ly

Visual.ly requires no special training and offers slick templates for putting together quick infographics. You can start using it for free to quickly and easily illustrate a business process. You could craft a diagram showing how a product gets manufactured, for example, or how a widget flows through a supply chain. You could even demonstrate how a small company is structured.

There are simple templates you can use to illustrate a Google analytics report or the life of a Twitter hashtag. Some people use Visual.ly to turn big batches of numbers into orderly graphics that convey a clear message, like this one by NowNovel.com on the booming market for ebooks.

If you’re unsure which template to use for your project, a process infographic created with Visual.ly explains what type of infographic to use for various purposes. In the marketplace section of the site, you can pay $999 for a professional infographic customized for your brand, or negotiate for a custom motion graphic or even an interactive infographic.

Infogr.am and Easel.ly
Infogr.am and Easel.ly are good alternatives to Visual.ly that are likewise easy to use. Infogr.am lets you import Excel data and add Vimeo or YouTube videos to make engaging graphics. One user imported survey data to create a graphic illustrating a survey of mobile app users. Nearly 150,000 visuals have already been created with Easel.ly, which offers well-designed starter templates, like this sleek U.S. map with a data overlay.

PiktoChart

An alternative site, PiktoChart.com, offers a small starter set of six templates for free. A pro account includes more than 100 templates and more than 1,000 icons and images to use in your graphics. That costs $29 monthly or $169 annually. If you want Piktochart to make a graphic for your brand, the startup charges $700 for a custom-designed finished product. The site emphasizes simple, clean design and even advises users how to create a story in their graphics — from comparing health costs by state to illustrating the four qualities of an effective startup pitch.

InfoActive

On the horizon is a cool new service called InfoActive, which just won a startup accelerator award at the March 2013 South by Southwest festival in Austin. The service allows users to customize an entire page with graphics, headlines, charts and more. InfoActive is looking for VIP beta testers as it prepares for a public launch.

New feature from Google for its user in the world

Hey folks,

Today Google, has announced some good new feature for showing user picture in Google search ads. please have a look to make your self updated with it.

Shared Endorsements
Google makes it easy for you to get great recommendations from your friends. For example, when you visit the Google Play music store, you may see that a friend has +1'd a new album by your favourite artist. When you search for a restaurant, you may see an ad including a 5-star review by another friend.

We call these shared endorsements. Here's what you need to know:


You're in control: Your content is only shared when you choose, and shared endorsements don't affect who can see your content or activity.
To help your friends and others find cool stuff online, your activity (such as reviews, +1's, follows, shares, etc.) may be used along with your name and photo in commercial or other promotional contexts.
When it comes to shared endorsements in ads, you can choose whether your name and photo may be used to help your friends find stuff that you love (and avoid stuff that you don't) – you can control this with the setting at the bottom of this page.
The name and photo shown in shared endorsements are the public profile name and photo you have chosen on Google+.



Here are a few examples of shared endorsements on Google. The "Summertime Spas" example below shows a shared endorsement displayed in an ad:

New meta tag by Google Webmaster for multinational websites

Today we are going to tell you about the latest update which will happen in the SEO world on 10th April, 2013, when Google webmaster has published there new meta tag for multilingual and also for multinational websites.

This meta tag is very important for the sites which are in more than one language and also having micro-sites or we can say that they have sub-domains from the same domain. this will invented because the homepages multinational and multilingual websites are sometimes configured to point visitors to localized pages by using wither thorough redirect  or by other methods like by changing the content to reflect the user’s language.

So here we go about the main point, Google Webmaster introduce a new rel-alternate-hreflang annotation that the webmaster can use to specify such homepages that is supported by both Google and Yandex.

For you folks we are giving you some example for the easy understanding about this tag what is it and why Google is using it. let's have a look on the given image below:

Google Webmaster example for the use of rel-alternate-hreflang annotation

 

• http://example.com/en-gb: For English-speaking users in the UK
• http://example.com/en-us: For English-speaking users in the USA
• http://example.com/en-au: For English-speaking users in Australia
• http://example.com/: The homepage shows users a country selector and is the default page for users worldwide.

In this case, the webmaster can annotate this cluster of pages using rel-alternate-hreflang using Sitemaps or using HTML link tags like this:

<link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/en-gb" hreflang="en-gb" />
<link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/en-us" hreflang="en-us" />
<link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/en-au" hreflang="en-au" />
<link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/" hreflang="x-default" />

The new x-default hreflang attribute value signals to our algorithms that this page doesn’t target any specific language or locale and is the default page when no other page is better suited. For example, it would be the page our algorithms try to show French-speaking searchers worldwide or English-speaking searchers on google.ca.

The same annotation applies for homepages that dynamically alter their contents based on a user’s perceived geolocation or the Accept-Language headers. The x-default hreflang value signals to our algorithms that such a page doesn’t target a specific language or locale.

And i think this also help you in the mutinational websites like for the work of Video Marketing, SEO Services, Graphic Design, Web Design etc.
