Viral Video Friday!

Betty White and Luciana – I’m Still Hot Everyone’s favorite Golden Girl, Betty White collaborated with British pop singer Luciana to promote Lifeline Insurance in this very hilarious music video “I’m Still Hot.” As comical as this was, the video didn’t get much viral buzz. Did the video really have to be 4:29 minutes long? While we didn’t see much of this video on Facebook and Twitter, it still kept us entertained! A Magazine Is an iPad That Doesn’t Work Nothing is more adorable than a baby trying to use a magazine like an iPad! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the future! OR Thank you Steve Jobs for a look into the future. Sophia Grace and Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Degeneres Show In a pink dress and sparkling tiara, Sophia Grace and her cousin Rosie Grace’s cover of Nicki Minaj’s song “Super Bass”, was an instant viral video hit. Ellen Degeneres invited the duo to her show this week, where they stole the show (as expected), with a little help from Nicki Minaj herself. Haven’t seen the original video yet? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Save this Post!
Murdering People: The Google-Safe Way
Dom | October 5th, 2011
To be clear, Wpromote is in no way saying that murder is acceptable or something one should do. Also, the views expressed in this post are solely those of Dom. While usually this statement is supplied in the cases when people are offended, so that those people know who to send their disapproval towards, the previous statement is also there so you know who to send your praise towards. Quick recap: if you hate it, let him know (that bastard); if you love it, let him know (that delightful rapscallion). On September 29th The Guardian, a UK News source, reported that a family was sentence to prison (and various youth facilities) for plotting to kill their grandfather. Investigators recovered past searches, on Google, that the family made while plotting against their 89 year-old grandfather. Reportedly the searched phrases included: “how to kill someone” “10 easy ways to kill someone with no trace” “can you kill someone with a punch?” “easiest ways to kill old person” “if you hit someone across the back of the head with a brick will they die or just get a bruise?” Worst. Family. Ever. Now, maybe it’s because I am in the search based industry, and the internet is basically my job provider, I couldn’t help but think…idiots! Don’t people know what not to do when planning a crime, and in particular, planning a murder? Apparently not. And that is why I have decided to put together… 5 Things to Avoid Doing on the Internet Continue reading…

The battle of this week’s flash mob proposals: Surprise Flash Mob Proposal at UCLA A private dinner with a few candles and rose pedals just didn’t cut it for this hopeless romantic.

A new venture here at Wpromote, aptly named “Wprovide” (gotta love us clever ad-folk!), is a committee focused on organizing philanthropic opportunities for the Wpro employees to get involved and give back to the community.

How To: Optimize Your Fashion Blog for Google
Maria Sass | August 31st, 2011
These days it seems as though almost everyone has a blog, and girls who were once just fashion-obsessed, have now turned into models as a result. With millions of blogs out there, what makes one stand apart from the rest? Is it design? Is it the domain name and age? Is content really “king”? Truth be told, you could have a great looking blog, with excellent content, however if you’re not ranking in search engines, no one will ever know you and your blog exist. Here is a user-friendly outline on how to get your fashion blog ranking in Google and other search engines. Note, these same techniques can be applied to any blog, I just choose to use fashion as my example, because, well… if you haven’t already noticed, I cherish fashion, just as much as I love technology. And when the two combine? It warms my techic (translate: tech-chic) heart. Choose a topic that you are well versed in. Search through popular key terms in the niche that you decide to write about Use Google AdWords’ Key Word Tool and cross reference the information with another service, like SEO Book’s Key Word Tool Once you find key terms that are frequently searched for, and you think you can write extensively about, use them (or versions of them) in your URL, Blog title, H1, H2, and content of your blog. Try to pick 2-3 key terms to focus on in your blogs. Make sure to mention the key words Continue reading…
