Many writers have difficulty figuring out when to use the service mark, trade mark, and registered symbols in writing. It’s important to use these symbols properly to protect content and to demonstrate professionalism. I recently wrote a detailed review of the proper use of these symbols and you can check out that post on the Writer Wrangler blog site by clicking here.  You’ll find other articles on this website (under my pen name Zoe Day) which may be helpful to you in your writing ventures.

Happy writing!

If you don’t believe that writing articles for sites such as Helium.com pay off, think again! You’ll be surprised how quickly your articles can be picked up by others seeking writers to create content for them, or even newspapers searching for valuable content. Check out this link to see how my article on Helium.com was picked up by the New York Times (remember that I write under the pen name “Zoey Day” on Helium). I have received lots of emails and requests for information and potential writing gigs as a result of this already! Don’t give up on writing if you’re new in the business — just keep trying everything and don’t discount the value of writing free articles for websites.

There’s a new player in town and it’s causing quite a stir. BING is Microsoft’s new ‘decision engine’ and writers who want to optimize content need to understand how this new guy works. According to an article in Webpronews.com, BING’s growth has been incredible with more unique visitors in May, 2009 than Digg, Twitter, and CNN. Of course, Google still leads the pack when it comes to search engines. But BING says they can produce better results based on prior searches and they tout that they help users make better decisions faster.

Unlike traditional search engines, BING uses different criteria and algorithms to determine if a website is worthy of high page rank. Consider some of the following differences as you create content that attracts the BING decision engine:

1. BING prefers pages with at least 300 words. For BING to deem a site worthwhile, be sure to include at least 300 words per page and you’ll be more attractive to them.
2. Titles count in SEO and that was never more important than it is with BING. With this new decision engine, it’s critical to use keywords and tightly worded titles that are very relevant to the overall content.
3. BING likes old domain names. If you have an old domain - great. If you don’t, you may want to consider purchasing an older domain to attract BING’s attention.
4. Finally! An engine that LIKES outbound links. Traditional search engines are looking for a higher ratio of inbound to outbound links. But BING actually likes outbound links and gives credibility to them when they link to relevant websites.
5. Advertising on BING is relatively inexpensive and they have created a tool to make it easier to transition an existing advertising campaign from Google or Yahoo. Check out their advertising link at  Microsoft Advertising.
6. BING has done their homework and they are attracting visitors who are in the purchase-decision mode — thus the term “decision engine”!

When it comes to search engine optimization (SEO), or in BING’s case — decision engine optimization (DEO), it pays to know how the new guy evaluates and ranks websites. Don’t assume what worked in the past will work with BING. Paying attention to how search engines and decision engines evolve is essential for anyone interested in creating content that attracts and drives results.
