Need for Speed: Undercover surprise will come with Nissan

It seems incredible that a company like Nissan has taken the decision to launch a new model of their vehicles within a game, before putting it up for sale (in the real world, say).

The model in question is the Nissan 370Z Coupe , which will make its first appearance in the game Need for Speed: Undercover of Electronic Arts .

It is not unusual for a company from tip to virtual display for a product, but if for presentation on an exclusive basis, which allows you to attract potential fans (although not until he achieved point to capture the attention of a buyer). < >

The experience will serve him as a

Electronic Arts , to give a cause of “exclusivity” to join players, as well as Nissan , to receive feedback from those who try “virtually”. < >
Without doubt, an excellent proposal for Marketing, which should imitate other companies to give a touch more realism to the games … or at least of exclusivity.

The game will come up for sale in a few days, while the new car will be on the market for next year.

I leave you to a video that will delight in the “virtual” this car:

The importance of a good owner

Sometimes we are not aware of the importance of what we seem to “small details” ‘to’ and we do not realize the great potential that we missed, for headlines many times we were wrong by not giving them the importance they deserve .

A good owner is

important like a good domain, or the importance of the H1 in SEO.

The importance of a good owner

The

search engines use the titles of the pages in its search results and the majority of blogs use such a structure similar to this:

nombredelblog.com>> Post Title

 

Title Post | nombredelblog.com

 

In blogs and websites is much better than conventional

the “title” is only the title of the post or news without including the name of the page which can be seen when viewing the domain.

Basic Rules

It is very important to keep in mind that

the relevance of your blog in the search results will determine the title , so we have to follow a series of basic rules about titles : < >

Use from

    60 and 70 characters

  1. Aim
  2. include keywords


  3. Doing
  4. attractive


  5. Objectives


If we follow these tips we probably closer to the

objectives that the title should have

:

Get a

    good CTR
  1. (click through rate), or average percentage of clicks per impression, that the title is attractive.
  2. Reporting

  3. on the content that it points.
    Must
  4. highlight and differentiate themselves from the rest

  5. title of the page
  6. Keywords


Of the above rules there is a particularly important:

keywords

.

We must not neglect the keywords

included on the titles as they are the most important in positioning our website, is not advisable to repeat key words’ to ‘and we will also achieve an optimal balance keyword, thus get a title with sense for the visitor and “respect” for search engines .
The ideal is a keyword or two per title

, and even now time

could be reduced to a single keyword .

Finally
this word or key words are very important because it will surely be used in links pointing to your website ‘to’ and this link with our key words will give us many opportunities for better positioning, the best example of this are Google Bombing famous.

Virtual plague in World of Warcraft … huh?

A virtual plague was released intentionally by people Blizzard in your virtual world of World of Warcraft , in order to analyze the impact that this occurs in people.

The infection became a player in Zombies , which then was spread as they are killing them, creating an effect … that was not very well received by its users .

Apparently Blizzard , would have made an agreement with a group of researchers in order to study phenomena of this type in a highly populated environment, and this virtual world that currently owns more than 11 million players.

Since the company has had to defend his decision to leave and did not comment on it with bad intentions, but clearly left a message to your audience … the situation “could change” if the developers want it.

Random factors like these are what make a fun game, although clearly the consequences of introducing something of this nature without warning, it can cause some discomfort … just as would happen if a tornado is a city that appears in has never seen one.

In any case, to be closed, users who are connected and are left angry by being infected, they can now return to WoW … because the disease has disappeared.

Improvements in Google Reader

Google Reader One of the web tools that I use every day more, undoubtedly, is Google Reader , basically because it allows me to stay abreast of updates to many sites in one place.

Each improvement that developers Google add, always comes with some sorpresita under his arm … and this time is not for less, although the update itself is informative .

The improvements now are pointed to charts paragraph Trends (or Trends, I got it in English … so I am unaware as it is in Spanish) in order to be able to view more ‘data’ that are Stored on the basis of the feeds we have.

On the one hand, we can now access not only to see the items read as the day / hour, but also the quantity of items that were added to the Reader in the same period.

In this way we can evaluate that now more entries are added to the Reader, to organize our time, or simply to see if we have made clear our counter in the hours “peak”.

On the other hand, entering a feed in particular (for example, of Techt), we will be able to access the statistics with graphics of this, being able to know the same way, that day had more activity in that time posting more innings, and until that day of the week is the most “active” in the feed .

In this tab, it displays other data such as average number of entries per week, and total signed last update (at least, the last visit of Reader’s crawler).
