Destined to be one of the hottest geosocial domains, LocalHits.com, is finally been made available for a quick sale. When local hits is searched in Google, LocalHits.com shows up within the top 5 out 800 million search results. Having owned this valuable top level domain for several years the owner had been reluctant to sell it but says he is now ready to let another company bring it to the mainstream public and fully believes it has the capability to go head to head with today's most popular social networks.

We asked LocalHits.com owner, Chris Creighton, why he liked the domain well enough to invest in it a few years ago? He replied, "Well to be honest I knew that social networks were going to be huge, and seeing the ever increasing capabilities of cell phones, I knew it would only be a matter of time before cell phones and tablets played a huge role within the growth of social network websites, especially geo-local. All cities, towns, or districts everywhere can have a hit restaurant, theatre, or even something as simple as who the best plumber or dog groomer is and that socially minded people would want to share that insight with their friends and other like minded people. So I thought to myself, 'where is everywhere?' LOCAL is everywhere. Whether it's in Louisville, New York, Los Angeles, Dublin, Berlin, Paris, or wherever you're location it's LOCAL. And we all want to know which places are HITS, the best of the best. So the LocalHits.com concept was born."

Being within the top 5 out 800 million search results of Google already shows there's a massive advantage to any geo-local or social site that wants an immediate foothold in the web 2.0 market.

Geosocial location-based services like Foursquare, gowalla (which was purchased by Facebook), Loopt and Where are seeing registrations double and triple on a daily basis. These geo-location based community sites are being used by mobile-device owners for shopping, dining, and meet-up spots among friends for socializing and playing games. Their total number of members runs in to the millions.

According to market researcher BIA/Kelsey recently reported that mobile advertising, through such geosocial websites, will top $3.12 billion dollars by 2013. A considerable increase from the 2009 report of $320 million.

When asked what he thought the selling price should be Creighton said, "Well, we'd all like to be billionaires, wouldn't we? But I'm a reasonable guy. I obviously would love to see it sell in the 6 figure range, and don't feel that's impractical given the magnitude of the domain name itself. But I'll consider any reasonable offer. Just go to http://LocalHits.com and submit an offer."

Let's say you command the Los Angeles cupcake scene. More specifically, your red velvet treats have earned quite the following in Venice Beach, where you've set up your tasty shop. However for all the talk around town, your cupcakes have sat on the shelf. They're beautifully frosted, but no one's biting.

You head to Yelp and type in "best cupcakes Venice Beach." You scroll and you scroll. Your business has yet to show up online. Your archrival cupcake bakers appear on the first page of search results. That's not so tasty.

Why is your rival baking company piping hot online, while your cupcakes seem all dried up? It all comes down to local SEO. Who can you turn to boost your business’ presence online? Just leave it up to DCM Moguls, who specializes in local SEO with proven results.

Local SEO (that stands for "Search Engine Optimization") is similar to standard SEO, which hinges upon high rankings in Google search results, but with one critical difference. Local SEO centers on how your business fares in nearby search queries and results.

Does your business have a physical location? Does it lure customers from the local neighborhood or around town? Then local SEO is an absolute must, even beyond traditional SEO strategy.

Think of local SEO like a new-and-improved version of advertising in the Yellow Pages. Remember those hefty sun-colored times that we used to flip through for nearby florists or dentists? Local SEO utilizes that same concept. Only instead of a fat catalog of a thousand pages, customers utilize search tools like Google, Yelp, or Citysearch to track down your business -- if it's a match for their needs at the moment.

Optimizing your business for local SEO success is important. But it can also be time-consuming. Every single page on your website will need to display your business' contact information and address. All of its title tags and meta descriptions will need your local geographical information included. That's not to mention Schema local markups, keyhole markup language, citations, or positive customer reviews.

Enter DCM Moguls to save the day, and save you hours of legwork, to whip your business into extraordinary local SEO shape.

DCM Moguls itself has employed local SEO to great acclaim. Our internet marketing company now stands as one of the top-ranking businesses of its kind in all of Los Angeles. DCM Moguls combines several unique yet customized approaches to enable your business to win locally -- both online and in the store. From local maps enhancement to mobile website conversion, DCM Moguls wields an impressive range of services to improve your business' local presence.

Let's say you don't run a Venice Beach cupcake shop. (We know, it's a low-carb nightmare.) No matter what business you're running, DCM Moguls has the ideal local SEO recipe to produce marketing results that are downright delicious.www.dcmmoguls.com

TeliApp, the developers that build mobile applications with an emphasis on enhanced social interaction, has launched Wanna Hang, the first mobile app that truly enables iPhone and Android users to meet new people effortlessly without disturbance or interruption, and without breaking a sweat. Wanna Hang is free to download and free to use.

“Often times we want to introduce ourselves to people who we see, but for one reason or another, we end up not making the introduction.” explains Weiss, CEO of TeliApp. “Perhaps the person we want to approach is surrounded by other people, in a casual or business setting with a group of other people and we just can’t figure out a way to introduce ourselves without it coming across as rude or inappropriate. Or, perhaps we’re just too shy and can’t work up the nerve at taking the risk of public humiliation if we get rejected.” WithWanna Hang, these issues are completely resolved. “You simply open up the app, go to the Who’s Near page, and immediately see others that are near to you. If you can see them in real life, you’ll be able to see them in the app. A few clicks on Wanna Hang and you’ve silently and discretely introduced yourself to the person you’re interested in. Problem. Solved.”

Many geo-social apps these days are meant for meaningless sexual encounters, are based on a ‘hot or not’ format, are meant for group chat sessions or require registration through Facebook. While the success of hookup apps is clearly geared toward a growing trend, the other, more pervasive target audience has been entirely ignored. Wanna Hang is targeted toward people who simply want to introduce themselves without disturbance and without dealing with public humiliation or rejection. And although geo-social apps that require registration through Facebook promise that they will never post anything to their Facebook profile or feed, many people simply don’t want to rely on this promise. “Companies are run by people. People make mistakes. Why take the risk?” asks Weiss.

Using Wanna Hang is simple and efficient. “Wanna Hang enables users to see other users who are within eyesight range. If you can see the person in real life, you can see them in Wanna Hang.” says Weiss. “Wanna Hang doesn’t require you to register through Facebook and it’s not based on any type of theme that rates people based on looks. It’s pretty simple. Let’s say I’m at a Starbucks and I want to approach a girl I see, but she’s with her friends, or maybe she’s in a study group. I want to go over to her, but I can see that she’s pretty busy, and I don’t feel like becoming the live entertainment for the entire Starbucks viewing audience. I whip out Wanna Hang, and I can now see the girl’s profile photo and screen name in Wanna Hang. I send her an invitation to connect through Wanna Hang and go about my day. Later, when she sees the push notification that I invited her to connect, she’ll either accept or reject. If she chooses to connect, I’ll see a push notification and I can now see her shared contact information and I can chat with her through the app.”

The idea came to Weiss in 2010 when he witnessed a high school boy trying to approach a girl in aStarbucks for the first time. “She was studying with a bunch of her friends, and his friends were messing with him, making kissing noises. Even if he had walked up to her, they would have acted so ridiculous that he would have embarrassed himself in the process. I thought to myself, ‘wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to introduce yourself to people without having to actually walk over and interrupt what they’re doing?’” The best apps have the “wouldn’t it be great if factor” explains Weiss. “It doesn’t matter where I am, if I hear someone say those magic words or if I find myself thinking them, I drop everything I’m doing and pay attention. Then I think, ‘ok, is this idea good for most people, most of the time?’ and if the answer is yes, I bring it to my team and we brainstorm how to turn the idea in to a meaningful and effective app.” TeliApp hopes that Wanna Hang will fill an enormous missing void in today’s singles scene in all age groups.

Hartford Group International weighs in on the issue of Australian expats in Taipei investing their hard earned cash in an offshore investment firm.

Whenever you opt for international or offshore investing, it is important that you first make a thorough research about the country. Many offshore investors will tell you that Taipei is one of the most profitable countries when it comes to international investments. The following are some of the most convenient funds where you can invest your hard-earned funds on:

• Guaranteed return fund
• Managed future fund which can earn you sufficient cash whether the Taipei markets go up or down
• Commodities
• Stock market linked – emerging and developed markets
• Corporate and government bond
• Structured product – this is where you can give away some gains

An efficient financial adviser should be able to suggest, after consultation, which of the funds and in what volume are suitable for the Taipei market. These elements should be taken into account prior to making an important decision: the investor’s attitude to volatility and risks, investment age and experience, and investment time horizon.

Offshore investments are also referred to as the most portable retirement plans. Also, it’s one of the safest ways for you to safeguard some of your assets in preparation for a divorce. The offshore countries are the best places for someone to accumulate sufficient funds for his retirement. In these present times, it’s often tricky to plan when and where you’ll retire. As such, the flexibility feature of offshore investing becomes extremely relevant.

Offshore investments are geographically portable; hence, it is not affected even if you move to varied countries in the world. Your offshore investment plan stays, while you move around. The amount that you have invested will keep on growing, and the profits that you will derive from this type of activity are all tax free.

Many people will agree that maintaining an offshore investing account is, by far, the perfect solution to an expatriate’s long term retirement and investment requirements. This is how the offshore plan would work. Foremost, you have to discuss important things with your financial consultant. Try working out on the amount of funds that should generate enough savings on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.

There are various types of underlying funds which are involved in offshore investing. No matter what type of funds you will invest in, it is important that you communicate well with an efficient investment center. Make use of the internet so you can regularly exchange information and important details. Letting a local investment company handle your finances would only produce a smaller amount of income plus you have to pay a great deal of taxes on these transactions.

Tax advantages are much greater when you shift to offshore investing. This is the best way for you to control your taxes so if you’re into tax avoidance which is illegal per se, then it’s the right time for you to invest in Taipei, a known tax-neutral investment country.

International investments provide a highly effective solution to a transient expat who wants to invest and come up with a good financial plan. Offshore investing allows you to plan ahead, and you don’t have to suffer the inconvenience of re-establishing another plan each time you move to another jurisdiction. Your offshore plans will move with you.

The following are some of the greatest benefits of investing in Taipei:

• Much greater returns on your investment
• Greater freedom of choice
• Effective wealth management
• Paying lesser amount of tax
• Offshore asset protection

Start protecting your liquid assets by placing the same in the right country. There is nothing to worry about since the offshore financial center will guard the confidentiality and privacy of your account.
