SEO Services India, Profit By Search, has held a seminar to educate its resources on the latest techniques to build a SEO Process. The company announced the Internet centric seminar with “Building A Technical SEO Process” on February 13th. The opening session was presented at the company's seminar hall in Noida, New Delhi. The program was offered as part of the company's approach towards adopting latest and most effective internet marketing strategies.

This educational seminar intended to educate the organization's employees with the latest techniques followed in the Search Engine Optimization world. The one month Internet focused series will discuss SEO strategies, website design and online marketing.

“One of the biggest challenges many of our clients face is building the right SEO processes in place, so that any problems are quickly accounted for before they lead to bigger issues. To create a more streamlined process for making sure the technical foundation of the site is solid, there are steps which may take a significant amount of time, but ultimately in the long-run, they will help make monitoring the SEO on your site more efficient. This means less time spent identifying and fixing site issues and more time focusing on other aspects of our SEO India techniques, like link building, developing a content strategy, etc... Overtime, the impact this will have on our clients' site can result in high rewards”, says Rakesh Bijewar, Head Of Search at Profit By Search.

The overall conclusion of the seminar ended on to build a streamlined process for technically auditing a site that can be described and thus, communicated internally. Creating a more efficient process means more time invested in other important elements- compiling quality content, building an online community, and social media to name a few.

Local SEO Industry Expert Founds Argent Media Search Marketing Agency in Dallas

DALLAS, Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- One of the world's leading search engine optimization ("SEO") experts and a pioneer in the more specialized practice of Local SEO, Chris Silver Smith, has established a search marketing agency in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. Smith founded Argent Media as an exclusive, bespoke internet marketing agency in Dallas after working years for a few other internationally renowned SEM agencies -- NetConcepts (since acquired by Covario), and KeyRelevance.

Argent Media provides search engine optimization consulting, particularly specialized in Local SEO, which focuses upon achieving higher rankings in local search results, such as in Google Place Search, Google Maps, Bing Maps, and Yahoo! Local.

"Local Search Optimization is actually a small order of magnitude greater in complexity than the more straightforward regular search engine optimization," says Smith, "because, Local SEO incorporates all the ranking factors which figure into keyword search rankings, and then adds a number of other criteria including business addresses, locational domain names, business pinpoint geocoordinates, business classification systems or taxonomy, user generated reviews, geolocation of the searcher, and more!"

"Straightforward search engine optimization involves over two hundred ranking factors used by Google and other search engines -- for Local SEO, the addition of local variables drives this number up even higher."

Chris Silver Smith should know -- he once headed up the technology department for Verizon's Superpages.com, one of the internet's top internet yellow pages, and he also established their sophisticated local SEO structure -- which still provides them with advantageous rankings on thousands of geography + industry term combinations. Few online marketing strategists can offer the advantageous combination of experience and knowledge of search engines with the ability to make sense of the complexity.
Through Argent Media, Smith will be providing cutting-edge strategic consulting for other companies, just as he has been doing for Fortune 500 and Internet Retailer 500 sites for the past decade.

Argent Media is offering services for both small businesses with a single location as well as for large, publicly-traded companies managing thousands of chain-store locations.

"While large organizations with many stores face unique issues in managing their business listings and optimizations of their store locator pages," Smith states, "They also share the same very same challenges faced by small companies in needing to rank well in specific local search results. For instance, a single lawyer's office may be competing to be at the top of Google Maps searches for his city along with a multi-national legal firm which has a hundred office locations. The ranking criteria evaluated by search engines to decide which business ranks higher is exactly the same for both. We know that a business's size brings with it unique advantages and disadvantages -- and, we're uniquely prepared to help either type of company."

Argent Media is offering both short-term services such as basic website audits as well as ongoing consultation retainers.
Follow the company's blog, [Ag] Search Blog, for upcoming updates on appearances, snippets of SEO advice, and special services which may be of interest to local businesses and other search marketing agencies alike.

Rihanna Turns Grammy Stage Into A Rave, With Coldplay Assist

Sprawled out on the floor under a red light and accompanied at first by just a piano, Rihanna hit the stage at the 54th Grammy Awards for a dance-heavy take on her massive #1 hit "We Found Love."

The performance kicked off like a scene straight out of the thematically dark video for the track, with the Barbadian pop star leaning against a wall looking troubled under dark lighting with only a piano playing alongside her as she sang the track like a torch ballad. Looking gorgeous — and giving off a Tina Turner vibe — Rihanna rocked the blond locks she introduced recently, wearing a tight, belly-baring ensemble.

The laser lights, LED screens and synths kicked up soon enough, though, and Rihanna welcomed dancers to the stage and lit into a high-energy performance of the dance smash that kept with the feel of the song, devolving into a full-on rave, with the pop star front and center.

Like many other performers and presenters at the show, Rihanna took a moment to honor the late Whitney Houston, demanding the audience, "Make some noise for Whitney!"

Soon, the tempo backed down and the dancers departed, leaving Rihanna onstage with just Chris Martin strumming an acoustic guitar. The pair then started into the televised debut of their Mylo Xyloto collaboration "Princess of China."

"Her bit on our record is my favorite bit. When the song came out, it sort of asked for her to be on it," Chris Martin told MTV News of the pop princess' involvement last fall. "And I think at this point, we have nothing to lose, and so we've been trying some new things and trying to break down the perceived boundaries between different types of music."

Coldplay finished things up on an upbeat not with their song "Paradise."

Stick with MTV News all for all the Grammy red-carpet fashion, Grammy winners and Grammy news until the hangover wears off!

Marisqueira Mediterranean Bistro blends ethnicities in Aspinwall eatery

Mainland Portugal has 586 miles of coastline, so it hardly is surprising that seafood is an integral part of Portuguese cuisine.

Seafood also is a mainstay of Marisqueira Mediterranean Bistro, which opened last July in a former Italian restaurant in Aspinwall. "Marisqueira" means "seafood house."

Co-owners of the 80-seat restaurant are Francisco Buxareo, a native of Uruguay who lives in McCandless, and Claudio Pereira, who, although born in New York, was raised partly in Portugal and lives on the South Side. His father, Antonio, owns Mallorca and Ibiza on the South Side, where Buxareo worked for several years.

Buxareo's native country, while Spanish-speaking, borders Brazil, which was colonized by the Portuguese. Buxareo says it is common for Uruguayans to speak Portunol, an unsystematic combination of Portuguese and Spanish. He describes the culture of his native land as "half Spanish, half Portuguese, with an Italian accent" courtesy of an influx of Italian immigrants in the early-20th century.

Buxareo's ethnic background is evenly split in quarters: Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and French; the restaurant he co-owns with Pereira features a variety of Mediterranean dishes as diverse as his heritage.

"We like to have a bit of everything," says Pereira, 28. The menu, in Portuguese and English, includes an extensive array of seafood, beef, pork, lamb, veal, poultry and vegetarian entrees from Portugal and other Mediterranean cultures.

Among them are Vitela a Madeirense, veal in a madiera sauce; Frango a Lisboeta, chicken with prosciutto, asparagus and fresh mozzarella cheese; and Bife a Portuguesa, a pan-seared New York strip steak with ham, fried egg and fresh-cut, round fried potatoes.

Executive chef Jose Belasco, who has had 10 years experience, presides over the kitchen, which also produces an array of appetizers, soups, salads and desserts. Pereira has worked with Belasco for years.

"I trust them enough with the kitchen," Pereira says of the kitchen staff. "Unless an emergency comes up, I like to let them have their space."

Pereira worked as a bartender for about three years in Portugal, then moved back to the United States to work for his father at Mallorca. There, he worked at everything from washing dishes to cooking. With his bartending experience, he helped set up the bar at Ibiza and was manager there.

Buxareo, 59, came to this country in 1985 from Uruguay, and has spent 36 years in the restaurant business, mostly at the front of the house, including stints at restaurants in Pittsburgh, Toronto and San Francisco. While he has cooked at tables for customers in the past, he cooks at home "for pleasure" for his wife and teen daughter. Two older children are grown.

He met Pereira at Mallorca, and says he joined forces with the younger man to open their own restaurant, because "no one wanted to hire me. I can't retire, so someone said, 'Open your own restaurant.' "

Buxareo notes that "bistro" might have once meant "hurry" in Russian. Urban legend has it that Russian soldiers occupying France in the 19th century might have yelled "bystro" to Parisian restaurateurs. While Marisqueira is not a fast-food restaurant, its owners uphold the European bistro tradition in some menu items and in the decor of warm coral and yellow walls, cozy dark woods and wrought-iron accents of wine racks and candlesticks.

Mariscada a Bulhao Pato (Seafood a la Bulhao Pato)

Marisqueira Mediterranean Bistro pays homage to its Portuguese theme with a variety of seafood and other dishes. One of its most popular entrees is Mariscada a Bulhao Pato, a seafood dish named after 19th-century Portuguese poet Bulhao Pato.

The owners say it is common for Europeans to name dishes after writers, because Europeans revere them. European writers have had a relationship with restaurants, where they would write, eat, meet with each other and discuss literature and news of the day.

So, when Pato tasted a dish of clams and rhapsodized over it more than 100 years ago at the Rua da Prata restaurant, the restaurateur decided to name the clams dish after him, and a tradition was born.

"Now, we do the same, but with all kinds of seafood," Marisqueira co-owner Francisco Buxareo says of Mariscada a Bulhao Pato, or Seafood a al Bulhao Pato. The restaurant staff prepares this signature dish with a variety of seafood. "It's pretty popular," he says.

Flavored with cilantro, this classic rendering of seafood results in a fresh-tasting dish that is quick to prepare.

In sharing the recipe, Buxareo says it is important not to overcook the seafood, although he says Americans like their seafood cooked longer.

"When the clams open up, it's ready," he says.

3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 2 ounces olive oil 6 ounces beer 5 ounces clam juice Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 9 mussels 3 clams 2 small lobster tails 2 large bay scallops 3/4 cup tiny shrimp Hot cooked rice, for serving Fresh cooked peas, for serving White wine, for serving

Saute the garlic in the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the beer and clam juice; season with salt and pepper.

When the mixture comes to a boil, add the butter and cilantro. Then, add the mussels, clams, lobster and bay scallops.

Bring the mixture to a boil again, and let boil until the shellfish open.

Then, add the shrimp and cook for about 1 minute or slightly longer if desired, being careful not to overcook the shrimp.

Place the mixture in a covered dish to place at the table. At the table, remove the seafood from the cooking liquid with a slotted spoon. Serve with the rice and peas and a white wine. Buxereo suggests a chardonnay or a Montevelho, a Portuguese white wine made from three grape varieties.

Makes 2 servings.
