It also uses a piece of code called tokens to personalize the email messages that are sent to your clients.

Use this plug-in to reach out one more time to get site visitors to come back and comment regularly!<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/thank-me-later/" target="_blank"><img src="http://s.wordpress.org/extend/plugins/thank-me-later/screenshot-1.png" class="blogpostimg" alt="Thank Me Later" title="Thank Me Later"></a></p>

When a website visitor is viewing the calendar and they scroll their mouse over an event, they will be given the option to click for more details. The details can display a map of the location, event title, time and contact information for the event. All-In-One Calendar is a great tool for you to use if you are promoting events every month.<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/" target="_blank"><img src="http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/all-in-one-event-calendar/assets/banner-772x250.jpg" class="blogpostimg" alt="All-In-One Event Calendar" title="All-In-One Event Calendar"></a></p>

<p>Launching your profile is easy, signin to your GMail account and click the profile link in the top left corner or click <a href="http://plus.google.com" target="_blank">Google+</a> to create your profile. There are only three steps to getting your profile setup, the first being where you’ll enter your name and gender. The second step gives you the opportunity to invite friend or family to Google+. The third will ask for your general information like who is your employer, educational history and geographical location the same usual social networking info. That’s it you&#8217;ve successfully launched your Google+ profile. </p>
<p>Once that is all set be sure to stop by the <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/1/b/117614678593017663251/117614678593017663251/posts" target="_blank">Finer Solution Google+ Page</a> and click the +1 button along with adding us to what’s referred to as a circle. This is done by opening a profile and clicking the Add to Circles button near the top right corner of your browser.

Click the Hangouts icon to see any number of public hangout that are currently going on, you will notice on the right hand side of your screen, Invites to Hangouts. These are hangouts that are launched by someone within your circles. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this series of posts we’ll be taking a look at how to create ads within <a href="http://adwords.google.com" target="_blank">Google Adword</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/advertising/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://listings.local.yahoo.com/" target="_blank">Yahoo Listings</a> and a few other sites to help drive traffic to your website. There are numerous places for you to place ads on the internet. Here&#8217;s a quick breakdown of the most popular advertising services with a quick summary of each one:</p>
<p><a href="" target="_blank">Google AdWords</a> &#8212; When searching on Google you&#8217;ve seen those ads listed on top and to the right of the search results? Ever wonder how it’s done? Google AdWords, your small business can advertise on the #1 site on the internet and it’s really not as complicated as you’d think. If you have a Gmail account, you have access to this great service/feature from google. To start creating your first ad, sign into the Gmail account you would like to use, then head over to www.adwords.google.com. Google has made this setup process incredibly easy, just follow the steps they provide. During the creation of your first ad you’ll need to associate a few keywords to your ad. Need help locating some keyword phrases? Google has a tool for that, <a href="https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__c=1000000000&#038;__u=1000000000&#038;__o=kt&#038;ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS" target="_blank">Google Keyword Tool</a></p>
<p>Enter in a title for your new ad, a web address and a short description of what service your company is providing. When adding your website URL use a web page (landing page) that will help convert potential contacts into clients. Don’t send your clients to a page that is not relevant to your ad. Another great tip is to add in your company&#8217;s telephone number to the description. This could save a little bit of money if someone is just looking to get a hold of your company quickly. Once you have completed your ad you will need to choose your payment options, Google allows you to set your own budget for your ads. The more you spend the higher your exposure is. There are a couple of different ways in setting up the budget for your ads. Read over the options carefully and find the best fit for your small business.</p>
<p>Looking to gather some foot traffic or advertise to your local neighborhood? No problem Google has created adwords express for your small business to advertise to your local area quickly. Visit <a href="http://www.google.com/adwords/express/" target="_blank">Google Adwords Express</a> to learn how to drive more leads. <a href="www.google.com/placesforbusiness" target="_blank">Google Maps</a> is another way to advertise your business within the search results. Setting up your business with Maps allows clients to search for your address, phone number, time of operations, customer reviews and even check-ins!</p>
