Social networking site, Facebook has begun testing a pared down version of its full website for use in countries with unreliable access to high speed broadband. The service, known as Facebook Lite, is being piloted in India and will allow users access to the core elements of the network like photos, status updates and the wall. The fast loading version of the site is said to have a very ‘clean’ look, somewhat reminiscent of the original Facebook site.

According to a statement from Facebook, ‘We are currently testing Facebook Lite in countries where we are seeing lots of new users for the first time and are looking to start off with a more simple experience.’

However, it has been suggested by some that Facebook Lite is, in part at least, a reaction to the proliferation of Twitter over the last few months. The theory being that a simplified Facebook would occupy practically the same space as the hugely popular social network and, thanks to the brand loyalty that Facebook has built up over the years, might therefore stand a chance of competing.

it is also thought that this new version would appeal to the reasonably large number of Facebook users who dislike the more advanced functionalities like Facebook apps.

In an attempt to steer you towards a search optimisation company that will work for you, we have examined SEO Consult’s website for their services. The website is straightforward and easy to use. Navigation is a breeze and everything you want to know is available and then some. Occasionally you might find a need to do a search or ask a question and SEO Consult is available for those needs. SEO Consult is a website optimisation company first and foremost. They have offices in Cheshire and London to help in creating the perfect website and marketing strategy for your company. They are known for their customer service, professional attitudes, and communication.

The first thing we noticed about the SEO Consult site was their ability to tell you about themselves and what they offer. This is imperative. They also share a few of their top client’s logos for references. The homepage has an enquiry form and you can also become a member of the site.

Everything you need is either on the homepage or in their menu listing regarding their articles and services. SEO Consult works in more than one country; in fact they offer their services to Germany and the US.

As we reviewed the site we worked hard to find negative points. This was very hard and we might sound a little picky. However, we did notice that there were no examples for us to take a look at for a step by step explanation of the services offered. The information was all there, but there were no graphics to show us what they had done before. You will also find that SEO Consult is not industry specific and therefore their information is for any industry rather than a narrowed point of view. Lastly they really want you to sign up for their RSS Feed and advertise that on almost every page. These little negatives are not much for their overall site and services, and we found SEO Consult is a company you will want to work with.

The information that you can find on the Just Searching website will give you some idea of what the company offers their clients. The range is far reaching and they provide a valuable service for strengthening your online presence. The company has pay per click advertising for your benefit or ways to increase your brand recognition with keywords and daily updates to your website. These various options will help to put you above your competition. (more…)

Baidu, China’s leading internet search engine is in the process of drastically rethinking the way it does business in response to a scandal involving the advertising of questionable medical services. It appears that Baidu let a number of unlicensed medical companies buy sought after positions on its search platform, which hugely increased the number of people clicking on the links to useless, yet very expensive medical services.
