A Brand New Amazing Blog Software Is Almost At Hand: Firepow!!

A Brand New Amazing Blog Software Is Almost At Hand: Firepow!!

In the following month you will see the launch of the much awaited Firepow Blogging Software from Andrew Hansen. Obviously many people are considering, as they do with a lot of products, whether or not this will be the tool they need to open the door to online business success.

This article will look at the interior of this product and what might be an actual benefit, in order that you might form an educated opinion about this program.

I would like to play devils advocate and start with the negative.

First of all let it be undoubtedly known that no product, software, ebook or membership, is going to make you money – YOU have to do the work YOURSELF – sales letters love to give the impression that a product will do something FOR you but unless you’re willing to MAKE IT happen yourself – nothing will help you.

I expect Firepow to fit this category. Principally because it’s a software that automates certain tasks, I expect it convey the feeling of doing things for you. So don’t fall for it – whatever it says, remember that YOU will have work to do and if you’re not willing to do that then this product won’t help you.

What does seem good about Firepow so far is that it unites the functions of various pieces of software into one ‘machine’ so to speak – which if only for the sake of nothing else but convenience, makes it a good thing.

Less programs on my computer, less to think about, and hopefully less to do. The things it combines are the tasks of (as the sales letter indicates) building, advertising and running your niche blog sites. It does these things with the use of wordpress plugins, and features inside a central software, from where you can view or edit any of your blog sites – another big convenience factor.

The plugins are both a list compiled from existing plugins on the internet and those created specially by Andrew himself. It’s these fresh meat plugins that seem to be the big selling point as promises have been made of effects like stealing viral traffic, multiplying your content automatically, and giving the site owner the capacity to get in touch with other site owners for extra leverage.

Supposedly it does everything from create your site (content too) to get you traffic and beyond – a hard ask for any program and I guess we’ll have to wait to see whether it delivers. Most of us know that niche blogging works but just haven’t connected the dots fully yet. If that’s you – Firepow might be worth a look.

Flash Websites Almost Search Engine Friendly

In the past, web developers often had a choice: they could have a website that was fully search engine optimized and ranked near the top in search engine results, or they could have a site done in Flash that didn’t appear in search results at all. Why was this the case? Many old search engine robots were not able to read any keywords or even content used on a Flash site. However, new advances in search robots are changing this.

Search engine robots must crawl through a website and examine the contents, metadata, tags, ALT text, title text, and more to determine how relevant to certain topics the website is. With a Flash site, however, all these older robots saw was the code to load the Flash plug-in. They could not read any of the actual content. While there were some ways that got partially around this problem, Flash sites never ranked as high as non-Flash sites, even when the Flash site was more relevant.

One thing that is changing this is the creation of Adobe Flash Player. Adobe Systems is actively working with search engines like Yahoo and Google to integrate Flash Player with their search engines. Once a business or individual submits their Flash site to the search engine, it will be ranked more or less where it would be if it were a non-Flash site. This allows search engines to rank fully dynamic websites better.

Google is already using Flash Player to rank Flash sites, and they have even been working to fine-tune the program to index content found in various Flash banners, buttons, and other parts of a Flash site. Their new search engine robot can store text found in these files and read them like it would read a standard HTML text, giving the site more content on which to be evaluated and ranked in search results. Google will read and index Flash files automatically once the content is added to your website. There’s nothing special you have to do.

However, Google still cannot read images that include text, nor does it read and index FLV files (the main type of file used for videos on sites like YouTube). These files do not contain any true text elements, and therefore have nothing for a search engine robot to “read.” Google’s search robots also can’t read some types of Java. If your website loads your Flash through a Java Script, for example, the Flash files may not be read due to the robot’s inability to handle Java.

Google may also not index any file within the Flash file that is considered an external resource. If the Flash file has an embedded SWF, XML, or HTML file, they will all be indexed separately, not as part of the Flash file. On the other hand, if the Flash file is contained within an HTML page, the entire page will be treated as one page, and the Flash file will be treated as a part of that page.

The final consideration regarding search engines and Flash is that most search bots have some difficulty handling Flash text that is written in a language that is bidirectional, like Hebrew.
