My First Guest Post!: Facebook Profiles, Groups & Pages for Business

Facebook
Profiles, Groups
& Pages for Business

by Kimberly Castleberry on June 4, 2010

Guest blogging is a really powerful way to grow your brand because it enables you to position yourself as an authority on a topic.

Often you can guest blog on blogs that rank substantially higher than yours and have higher traffic numbers. This puts your article/post in front of more people, gets you more exposure and can result people from that site looking for more from you and coming to your site.

It also, depending on the blog, may provide one or more backlinks either to your blog or to your associated pages (in my case, to my Facebook page/profile).  Be sure to check each blog authors requirements and permissions before submitting a post.

Have you started taking advantage of guest posting opportunities yet? If so, how have they helped your business? If not, what’s holding you back? I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

As the tech giant spreads its reach, it is making new enemies who fear that once Google steps onto their turf it will use its almighty search engine to eliminate them. Now, these critics are pushing antitrust officials to block some of Google’s mergers or build a blockbuster case against the search behemoth, reminiscent of the government’s battle with Microsoft.

Yet as Google expands its ecosystem of products – a spread that already includes e-mail, a digital bookstore and cell phone software – it’s only become a bigger puzzle for regulators.

Antitrust law was crafted with bricks-and-mortar companies in mind, companies whose business lines fit into neat categories, not a firm like Google whose influence is spreading lightning-quick into different markets that are connected only by the Internet.

Most of these acquisitions have been in the last 3 yrs:
