Here is Detail Guide ]]> Bots are taking over the internet slowly and steadily. According to a 2016 report, over 50% of all traffic generated on the internet was generated via bots which means bots have been active for a large period of time now. Capitalizing on this situation seems to be the best move right now as the existence of ‘Good’ bots makes our lives easier.
As a business owner, it is imperative to know that bots can assist you with a lot of things in your business. From customer service to digital marketing, they can achieve what a team of humans can’t, single handedly. Let’s look how they can make great contributions to our ever evolving business:

This breaks down roughly into two questions, ‘When’ and ‘How’.
When is it right to introduce bots in your business:

1. Similar questions: As a business, if you are starting to see similar questions be asked over a long time, this is an indication you can introduce bots.
2. Products don’t require much description: When the products you’re selling are those which don’t require much description or which are known quite well by the customer like the household items which the customer doesn’t have to research about.
3. Customers need uncomplicated information: When the information required by the customer is simple in nature.

How it helps customers:

1. Similar questions: As a business, if you are starting to see similar questions be asked over a long time, this is an indication you can introduce bots.
2. Products don’t require much description: When the products you’re selling are those which don’t require much description or which are known quite well by the customer like the household items which the customer doesn’t have to research about.
3. Customers need uncomplicated information: When the information required by the customer is simple in nature.

How it helps customers:
1. Assist buyers in shopping: A chatbot can effectively assist multiple buyers in shopping at the same time. This can be done by providing them with multiple options to shop from when they need to look into your product catalogue.
2. Assist in ordering food: If you own an online food delivery service, chatbots can effectively assist you in making the orders which is already employed by several companies in the food industry.
3. Accept payments easily: Chatbots are able enough to take payments from paypal accounts of customers. Hence it need not redirect the customer to a payment page and make the same in the chat window.

How it helps your Digital Marketing

1. 24×7 availability: With its availability 24×7, chatbot marketing is an effective strategy for marketing.
2. Saves a lot of time: The ability to assist multiple customers at the same time saves you a lot of time and workforce. A chatbot sequence can run across multiple platforms and can serve thousands of clients at a time
3. Reasonable: Applying a chatbot software will cost way less than what it will cost you to employ the same amount of workforce that can assist you in customer service.
4. Swift: A chatbot can assess the situation faster, graze through a large amount of data and can provide information faster to the customer.
5. Retrieve answers faster: A customer will be engaged as soon as they send a message thus saving a lot of time in the process.
6. Provide better customer service: Since Chatbot is essentially an AI, it will never do things out of its code. This means a chatbot will be calm, composed and patient while engaging the customer. This will invariably increase your customer service rep.
7. Analyze the data better: Every customer that interacts with the chatbot has their information analyzed better. This means that the customer needs and information can be received as a report to the business and they can tailor it according to the customers need.
8. Fun: At the end of the day, it is so much fun to engage with an AI and realize how far along technology has come.

Thus a Chatbot can effectively make your business a 21st century friendly, futuristic and effective with the application of a single software.

Be Prepared for the Google’s Mobile-First Index! Here is Everything You Need to Know https://www.thinsquare.com/blog/be-prepared-for-the-googles-mobile-first-index-here-is-everything-you-need-to-know/ https://www.thinsquare.com/blog/be-prepared-for-the-googles-mobile-first-index-here-is-everything-you-need-to-know/#comments Tue, 09 Jan 2018 09:40:56 +0000 https://www.thinsquare.com/blog/?p=375 Continue reading Be Prepared for the Google’s Mobile-First Index! Here is Everything You Need to Know ]]> Google has always been the game changer when it comes to providing inventions or products across the internet platform. While being a search engine at its core, Google has always tried to create better algorithms to make the search experience easier and efficient.

Since the very beginning, it has tried to have the data and websites ranked and sorted in order to bring the user a better search experience. The world saw a digital revolution when desktops and laptops took over our lives and people looked for anything and everything on the internet. Google became a hero by helping people do just that. However having seen the devices being shifted from a desktop to a more mobile-based platform, Google saw the issues pouring in.

For a while now, Google has been ranking websites based on its desktop-based content. Which meant if a user looked up a service or a product, the user will end up with search result based on the rank its desktop site has received which will mean, no matter how limited and lose the mobile content is on the website of the product or the service, it will end up as the top result. Opening that will only bring sorrow to your eyes and an ungrateful search experience.

To halt the same, Google decided to shift primarily on the mobile-first index.

What does this mean?
Well to put it simply, the search listings created by Google will be ranked on the basis of the content the mobile version of the website shows.
The mobile-based web app will be the primary search engine index. The results will be fetched while looking at the web through the eyes of a mobile and not a desktop anymore.

How did it change?
The Progressive Web Apps are to be blamed for the same.
What PWAs do is they download an app shell and a configuration file on the device. This made the website act like a native app while dynamically being a web page. To make it easier to understand, a ‘web app’ can turn into a PWA by simply adding a few extra files and functionality which makes them a Javascript-heavy website acting like a native app.
The PWAs are important as the Android OS treats them same as the native apps. A few of them have been added to the Play Store too. A website with an app icon, without an address bar, functional both on and offline is a great way to have them be discovered on the web while being fully functional at the same time with minimum overhead.

But what if you don’t have a mobile site?
Google doesn’t want you to worry about it. If the mobile site doesn’t exist, it will simply move on and have your desktop site be crawled. Google said: ”If you only have a desktop site, we’ll continue to index your desktop site just fine, even if we’re using a mobile user agent to view your site.”

What if the mobile and desktop site has a huge difference?
If your mobile site has data extremely minimal as compared to your desktop site if have to be a little cautious. The page 1 of your mobile site needs to have the same amount of content as your page 1 of the desktop site or else the mobile version will be assessed by Google.
So it is imperative if you have a mobile site to work on it since it will be the one indexed at a higher priority.

Will this change the rankings dramatically?
Not likely though. Gary Illyes and Paul Haahr from Google have said that in the grand schemes of things, the rankings won’t be affected a lot. The real reason indexing is being modified is to make the mobile search experience better. Even though it is still too early to say but in the long run, there’ll not be a lot of changes in the rankings.

When will we fully see it in action?
Months from now. The full rollout still requires a lot of time. Google however will keep using the mobile-indexing for a few users. There will be a lot of testing based on the previous searches hence it is still too early to say. If the results are favourable it might be pushed out sooner. At the same time, if there’s any fault with the algorithm, they might just push the entire thing back.

How will the mobile rankings be affected?
According to Google, the website, not owning a mobile-friendly content will not do so good.
Currently, even the mobile-based searches are working on the desktop-friendly indexing which pumps out content differently for desktop and mobile. On top of that, a ranking system will be used that is mobile-friendly.
This will boost the mobile listings. On it the content that not mobile-friendly wasn’t performing as well. With the new update, the initial content will be mobile-indexed and then a mobile-friendly boost will be applied on the results which will separate desktop and mobile-friendly content.

Does Google view your mobile content?
The best way out to look at this is to use Google services. Go to fetch and render tool in Search Console. You need to specify mobile: smartphone user-agent. The result is fetched and rendered, what you see is what Google sees and indexes from your mobile site.
If you see any issues in the content, you need to fix it from your end.

Your mobile will define the Ranking signals
As in the past, your desktop signals defined the rankings of your website; speed of your mobile site will define the ranking of your mobile and desktop site from now on. Since more and more users are using mobile devices for searching, the desktop rankings signals will become obsolete and Google is aware of that.

Will we see two different indexes?
Google doesn’t plan for it. In the longer run, they are planning for a single indexing, either mobile or desktop.
With the passage of time, there will be experimental searches will be done based on mobile-indexes on a number of users devices which none of us would have the control over.
If in the long run mobile-indexing seems to be appropriate and user-friendly it will take over. However, it if doesn’t seem to work well, Google will go back to desktop-indexing.

When Will we start noticing the change?
We won’t be able to. According to Google, there’ll be very little to differentiate and we might not be able to see any change at all which they are aiming at. It won’t be region-specific so there will be no way to tell where it would be applied first. It would be a global rollout.

Anything else will be seen in the time to come. There are still a lot to presume which won’t be judged until the mobile-indexing is rolled out. So we just need to sit and brace ourselves for the yet another revolutionary change, yet again by Google.

    Key Points to Secure Your WordPress Website https://www.thinsquare.com/blog/key-points-to-secure-your-wordpress-website/ https://www.thinsquare.com/blog/key-points-to-secure-your-wordpress-website/#comments Thu, 28 Sep 2017 06:42:13 +0000 https://www.thinsquare.com/blog/?p=347 Continue reading Key Points to Secure Your WordPress Website ]]> When we create a website in WordPress, we usually give much importance to appearance, functionality, usability, and content, bypassing many times as necessary a factor as security.

    Can you imagine getting up tomorrow morning and after weeks or months of work to find that someone has hacked the web? I prefer not to think about it.

    To try to avoid that, today I bring you 8 simple tips (some more than others) to improve the security of your website in WordPress. You know, better safe than sorry.

    Securing 100% a web created with WordPress is almost mission impossible. In the end, if someone insists on accessing your website and has the necessary knowledge, one way or another, it is likely to succeed.

    Many people are collaborating on the WordPress code, many WordPress plugins, and WordPress themes developed by third parties and it is very easy to see a bug somewhere that makes life easier for hackers.

    Our goal today is to put it as hard as we can for the hackers. If they want to come in, to cause damage, at least we would stop them.

    We must continue to search for bad links. Moreover, if someone wants to access that website, these details will be the first to look for.

    To avoid this kind of things and improve the security of your WordPress, we will see immediately a series of very simple tips, accessible to everyone, that at least will make things a little more difficult to the next hacker that is posted on your website.

    So without any further ado, let’s get to it.

    1. User Name
    It may seem very obvious, but you would be surprised how the typical admin user still accesses the site.
    You should avoid this type of user (admin, administrator, editor, etc …). Similarly, avoid using your name or any reference to the domain of the site.

    In general, you should avoid any username that can be predictable.

    Keep in mind, that brute force makes many of the unwanted access to WordPress and such type of usernames, will be the first to try.

    In computing, it is called brute-force attack, how to recover a key by testing all possible combinations until you find the one that allows access.
    This is achieved with programs that load a list of users and passwords, which are more frequently used and is responsible for testing all the combinations one by one until you find the correct one.

    You have to distinguish between username and alias. WordPress, by default, uses the username as the name that is displayed publicly and this is something that you should change. To do this, access to edit a user and you will see a section.

    The username, as you see, it is gray, and you can not change it. However, you can put an alias on the field for it and then in the drop-down of the name to show choose the alias.

    2. Secure Password
    This one is important, too. However, there are still people who use passwords as a ‘password’ or ‘123456’.

    What should a secure password look like?

    -Must be at least 8 characters. It should be alphanumeric .”Contain lower case letters, capital letters, numbers and punctuation marks.”

    – Do not use personal information on it. No dates, names of couples or children, etc…

    A good password should look like this: Ow\SoJs2 and embroider it; you should have a different one for each service you use. It is obvious if you use the same in all services, the day that someone might discover one, discover them all. And really, it is worth losing some time with this; we do not realize how important it is until it happens to us.

    3. Update WordPress, theme, and plugins regularly
    Update both WordPress and the custom WordPress theme and plugins you use as soon as there are new versions. More often, during the updation, we would discover bugs and bugs in the code that can allow unwanted access to our installation.

    WordPress developers strive to detect and fix these bugs as soon as they appear and launch a new version of their code to fix it. This is why it is important to keep our system updated as if it were an operating system.

    4. Use Original Themes and Plugins
    The one who has never downloaded a pirate program, raise your hand. The temptation to get something unpaid is great, and WordPress themes and plugins are no exceptions.

    The problem of piracy, in this case, is that often the original themes and plugins can carry scripts and malicious code that can ruin your website in a matter of seconds.

    Think about it for a moment. Why would anyone bother to buy a theme and then share it with everyone? There are many good faith people out there, but this much?

    My advice is to use only original WordPress themes and plugins downloaded from the official websites or let the WordPress Development companies help you in this regard.

    5. Protect wp-admin from the control panel
    This is very simple and can save you a lot of headaches. It is about protecting the wp-admin directory from your server-level control panel so that it can only be accessed if the user and password for that directory are known.

    To do it in C-Panel which is one of the most used, and similarly, it is very easy to do in any control panel of your provider.

    Access your C-panel. Go down to the security section. You will see it.

    Go to Directories protected by password and a window will open where you can choose the directory to protect. Choose wp-admin, and you will see the screen to configure. It is very simple to protect c-panel directory.

    At the top mark the box to protect the directory and choose the name of the window that will appear to ask for username and password.
    At the bottom, we choose the username and password. Add authorized user button.

    What will happen after protecting the directory? – That first you will have to enter the user and password that you just created to access the directory and once authenticated, you will be able to access the WordPress login. Let’s say you will have a double check to access the administration of your website.

    6. Perform backups regularly
    It is important to make backups of your website periodically. At least once a week.
    The simplest way to do it is through a plugin. It helps you to automate your backups and even send them to a system in the cloud like Google Drive or Dropbox.

    UdraftPlus
    BackWPup
    BackupBuddy

    The three are quite alike and work just as well. I would like to explain how they work, but it might start to look like a chapter of the Bible. I will explain it to you in detail in another article.

    7. Limit login attempts
    This is as simple as installing a plugin. For example, we limit the number of failed attempts to 3, if someone misspells the user and pass 3 times, you will not be able to try again after a predefined time. What do we get with this? Hindering the brute-force attacks is important. These attacks are based on trying the login countless times until you find the right combination. If we limit login attempts, we are protecting ourselves from such attacks.

    8. Change the prefix of the tables of the database
    One of the problems of WordPress is a number of bad links it gives visitors with intentions of dubious morality. Another of these bad links are the prefixes of the database tables. If someone wants to attack your site using a SQL injection, the first thing to check is if the prefixes of the tables are the ones that come by default (which is something that very few people change). If so, as tables are known, you already know all (or almost all) tables in your database.

    The first option and the easiest is to change them when you install your WordPress. If you use an automatic installer of the hosting that you have contracted, surely you can not modify them but if you hire WordPress developer to install WordPress manually.

    Well, if you want to be successful in your PPC campaigns then you will have to use new methodologies with old one. For this, you need a good strategy for driving big improvements in your ad’s performance.

    One of the most important attributes of a successful PPC manager is the ability to incorporate new technologies in existing management strategies. Therefore, we have designed this article in such a way that it will keep you up to date about latest testing methodologies which will help you to improve your PPC ad performance.

    Some of the best testing methodologies used for improving PPC ad performance are-

    The first word (verb) in your call to action

    No matter in which industry you are, you will get a different type of users. Some users will perceive ads as helpful, and some will believe they are not relevant for them. A big difference-maker in the interpretation of your digital presence is how you are asking the user to engage with your brand.

    It is important to note that the first word in your call to action can either make or break someone’s encounter with your brand. Therefore, optimize that first impression by testing the first word in your CTA.

    Promotional quantification method

    Knowing how your users respond to your promotional efforts is essential for an optimized advertising campaign.

    We have seen clients drive drastic changes in sales figures and click-through rates by adjusting how they approach their promotional language. So, promotional quantifications are best if you want to improve your PPC ad performance.

    Multiple descriptions that use AdWords IF functions

    Using A/B testing methods for incorporating new technologies is really very important.

    Think about writing description variations which contain both desktop and mobile version. You won’t be able to test which particular is shown but you can create several descriptions, each of which is optimized for device or audience, and measure which variation works best as a whole.

    The placement of your call to action

    Depending on the stage of the buying process and category of your business a searcher is in, you may need to vary the placement of your call to action. This is a perfect example of why multivariate testing is so important. A multivariate test will permit you to uncover the optimal placement of your CTA for each audience individually.

    Headlines that use ad customizers

    If a portion of your search Headlines doesn’t contain a piece of dynamically inserted content, you are probably leaving money on the table for two reasons:

    They aren’t flexible enough to implement ad copy tests across campaigns/ad groups.

    Your Headlines probably aren’t specific enough to your ad groups

    Therefore, make sure to keep in mind these two essential points for improving ad performance.

    Landing page testing
    If your landing pages are set at the ad level and you have created 2 different landing pages which you need to test then you can use the same ad with both destination URLs.

    You can also try it using multiple variations of ad creative. For example, performing a multivariate test with two descriptions and landing pages.
