On the road again upcoming events around the world

We’ve been busy traveling and meeting enthusiastic developers from around the world at our Google Developer Day and DevFest events. Early this month Ryan Boyd and Nicolas Garnier were off to Moscow, Prague, and Paris (with a side trip to a Warsaw GTUG). Before that, Saurabh Gupta and I were in Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo while Claudio Cherubino and Michael Manoochehri headed to Hyderabad and Bangalore.

Up next, I’ll be at our events in Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore, and Jakarta. Ryan Boyd and Michael Manoochehri will also be in Tel Aviv and Berlin. If you’re building integrations with Google Apps into your products to connect users with their data, helping customers integrate Google Apps with other parts of their Enterprise IT systems, or are simply customizing your own Google Apps environment, let’s meet!

Here’s my schedule:

Google Developer Day in Tokyo - November 1st
Google Developer Day in Sydney - November 8th
Google DevFest in Singapore - November 12th
Google DevFest in Jakarta - November 16th

For Ryan and Michael:

Google Developer Day in Tel Aviv - November 13th
Google DevFest in Berlin - November 19th

For those a little closer to our home in the San Francisco Bay Area, there are two other events here that are noteworthy. Neither is a Google sponsored event, but you’ll find several members of the Google Apps team in attendance.

First up is the gSocial conference on November 8-9 in Santa Clara, California. This is a peer-to-peer conference for Google Apps Resellers and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to collaborate, share best practices, and partner to grow their businesses.
The Small Business Web is hosting its first Summit on November 11-12 in San Jose, California. Software vendors, resellers, and distributors serving small businesses are attending to make decisions to push the industry forward over the next few months.

If you’re coming to any events of just happen to be near by, drop us a note on Google+ or twitter and we’d be happy to meet and talk with you.

"If the last video game you played was Pac-Man, you might have missed the advances that turned games into immersive training tools for skilled professionals and leaders."

Three University of Wisconsin-Madison professors (Constance Steinkuehler, Kurt Squire and James Paul Gee), among the top researchers in learning through game-playing, explains the advantages of games over traditional teaching tools in this short article with a lot of interesting comments from the public (including mine ).

Also, check out this video about "How Games are Reshaping Business" (97 minutes) by these three professors mentioned above, and this article : Video games and the future of learning (By Kurt R. Squire, Richard Halverson and James P. Gee), which really awakens our minds on how games can play a huge impact in making the e-learning environment more immersive, interactive, interesting, collaborative and enjoyable.

Interesting games mentioned in this article include Age of Mythology, Full Spectrum Warrior, Biohazard, and Civilization III. Lets play to learn !

Tips on How to Have Better SEO Results with Link Building

SEO is still important when it comes to how your site does in the rankings. The type of website that you have really does not matter too much, whether you are using Premium WordPress Themes or any other platform. You still have to make sure that you are using all of the right tools and tricks to ensure that your site is going to be a success. One of the ways to do what is by building the number of incoming links to your site.

You have a bit of control over this. You can go out to other sites and write articles or guest posts that will then link back to your site. While this method is one that many people employ, guest posting is not the only thing that you can do to ensure that you are getting the backlinks that you deserve. Here are some tips that you will be able to utilize in order to boost the number of links that you have coming into your site.

Have Guest Posters on Your Site

Using guest bloggers on your blog is going to provide you with a couple of benefits. First, it means that you are not going to have to write a post for the day, as that duty is going to go to someone else. Most of the time, the advice you will receive is to be on the other end of this arrangement and write posts for other sites. However, this can work just as well.

When you have a guest poster, you can be sure that he or she is going to post the information on a blog or website, social networks, and many other places. This is going to bring in people to your site who would not have found it otherwise thanks to the links the writer is posting in those places. You get some great links to your site, and you get an influx of new visitors who will return if they like what they see.

Of course, you have to be careful about choosing the right guest poster for your site. Choose someone who generally blogs about a similar subject to your own or who is in a related field. If you have a site dedicated to gluten free living, you probably don’t want to have your mechanic write a guest post about how to change oil. You want to find an expert who is able to write engaging articles too.

Ensure Good Quality of Posts

Quality is always important. You have to make sure that you are able to maintain a level of quality on your site whether you are the one who is writing the posts or you have guest bloggers writing them. No one is going to want to link to a site that has articles with no merit, zero research and countless misspellings. Quality is always more important than quantity if you really want to have more backlinks.

Posts with Lists Get Backlinks

Here’s a fun and simple way that you can get more backlinks. Lists can be fun and informative, and you can surely come up with some great lists no matter your niche. Top 10 lists and 10 worst lists are always great, but that’s just the beginning. Look at all of the other things that you will be able to do with lists. Even lists of tips can be helpful depending on your subject.

People like linking to them, so they should certainly be a part of your SEO tactics for getting better rankings. They are easy to write too, and generally do not take very long. They are also able to drum up some discussion in your comments section.
