11 Things I've Learned

I've learned a lot this semester, here are just 11 of them:

1) Even though I sell phones for a living, I never knew what GSM meant. Sadly. For reference, it means Global System for Mobile

2) I learned about how sites are indexed via search engines.

3) I learned about how bots will "crawl" on sites to index them.

4) I learned that Javascript and Java applets and scripts are not "crawlable", making it difficult to index them properly.

5) I learned about Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising, and how companies pay for advertising this way.

6) I learned about Crowdsourcing and how it has impacted the professional world. Many sites allow for amateurs to get paid to do professional editing of documents and many other jobs.

7) I learned about Web PR, and how ORM works in relation.

8) I learned the specifics of online copywriting

9) I learned about Basic/Feature/Smart phones, although the definitions in the books are a little out of date.

10) I learned about the different types of Operational Management used in creating a marketing plan

11) I learned about the innovation that Augmented Reality will bring to many types of technology over the years.

It's been a great class!
