Q: Execute ALTER SYSTEM command in oracle scheduler I would like to set a job in the scheduler which will do a change of the resource manager plan.
    BEGIN
      DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
       job_name             => 'scott.dayplan',
       job_type             => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
       job_action           => 'BEGIN ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_MANAGER_PLAN = 'dayplan'; END;'
       start_date           => '17-MAY-10 01.00.00 AM Europe/Warsaw',
       repeat_interval      => 'FREQ=DAILY; BYHOUR=8;',
       end_date             => '99-SEP-04 01.00.00 AM Europe/Warsaw',
       comments             => 'Resource manager daytime plan');
    END;
    /

But the job_action is given wrong. Any ideas how to execute alter system command in create job function?

A: Create procedure to run your SQL statements then call that procedure in job_action.
SQL> create or replace procedure my_proc
as
begin
execute immediate 'ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_MANAGER_PLAN=DEFAULT_MAINTENANCE_PLAN';
end;
/

Procedure created.

SQL> EXEC dbms_scheduler.drop_job('job1');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB(
   job_name          =>  'job1',
   job_type          =>  'PLSQL_BLOCK',
   job_action        =>  'begin my_proc(); end;',
   start_date        =>  SYSDATE,
   repeat_interval   =>  'FREQ = DAILY; INTERVAL = 1');
END;
/

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> EXEC dbms_scheduler.run_job('job1');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select log_date, status from dba_scheduler_job_run_details where job_name='JOB1';

LOG_DATE                                STATUS
-------------------------------------   --------------
10-MAY-17 06.36.43.906003 AM -04:00     SUCCEEDED

Starting from Oracle 12c, we have SQL_SCRIPT as job_type which specifies that the job is a SQL*Plus script.
DBMS_SCHEDULER: Oracle 12c
Moreover, if you just want to switch resource allocation plan, as Balaz Papp mentioned in the comment, you could use Scheduler Windows.

You create windows to automatically start jobs or to change resource allocation among jobs during various time periods of the day

A new video was released today that gives a first look at the PvP alliance matches in Dragon's Prophet's Frontier System. The video shows off what to expect in the system, including engaging guilds, fighting for survival, capturing strategic locations, gathering resources, summoning ancient allies, mounted and aerial combat, employing siege weaponry and *takes a deep breath* ruling supreme.
Quite frankly, it's all a little hard to understand at the moment, but looks like an absolute blast. Large scale, strategic battles in an online game with giant dragons? Sign us up. The free-to-play game will launch on September 18 with the all new Frontier System, but those wanting an early taste can sign up for the beta right here.

What did we do as salespeople before the Internet and computers? Is building relationships any different now? Does the CRM system help or hinder?
Selling involves rejection. Not everyone who you pitch to will buy from you. In fact, most people won't. So how do you best deal with the anxiety around rejection?
One problem salespeople encounter is when prospects don't buy, they seem reluctant to explain why. What do you do if you're left in the dark as much at the end of the meeting as you were at the beginning?
Not all buying signals are created equal. If you fail to recognize when prospects are ready to buy, then you could still lose the sale. Which ones can you trust?


O.R. Tambo International Airport is the busiest air-transport hub on the African continent, the airport serves over 18million passengers a year. O.R. Tambo airport lies 30km east of Sandton. The airport is spacious, modern and easy to get around. Passengers are served by two terminals, A and B, which merge after you have passed through the security checkpoints.
Gauteng's public transport system is currently undergoing something of a revolution, beginning with the Gautrain and the Rea Vaya bus-rapid transit system.
The Gautrain rapid rail link is the first rapid rail network in Africa. The rail connection comprises two links, one between Tshwane and Johannesburg and the other between OR Tambo International Airport and Sandton.
The system offers a fast, convenient, safe and efficient public transport service. It takes 15 minutes to travel from Sandton to OR Tambo International Airport on the Gautrain and 35 minutes from Tshwane to Park Station in Johannesburg.
In 2014, the Gautrain's airport service (Sandton to OR Tambo International Airport) was improved with earlier trains in the mornings and later trains in the evenings.
The Gautrain is well patronised by residents and tourists alike on its Pretoria to Johannesburg and OR Tambo International Airport route, with Rea Vaya buses extending routes into the suburbs.
However, driving still remains the order of the day in Gauteng, and renting a car, or using metered cabs, is very much advised. South Africans drive on the left side of the road.

The Best Tycoon Games To Play In 2019
By GamerBolt Team
Best GamesEditorialsFeatured
Sometimes, as a gamer, you don't want to be right there in the action. Sometimes it's better to float above everything, watching omnisciently as your creations go about their daily lives – and occasionally meddling with them. Sometimes you want to be a ruler, a manager, or…well…a tycoon. For this, there are tycoon games. These are perennially popular games – check out our list of 2018's best tycoon games for proof – so there are almost always a few that stand head and shoulders above the rest. Here are our picks for the best tycoon games to play in 2019.
Planet Zoo – PC
Cities: Skylines – PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch
Hotel Magnate – PC
Farming Simulator 19 – PS4, Xbox One, PC, mobile
Game Dev Story – PC, mobile, Nintendo Switch
Vegas: Make it Big – PC
Tropico 6 – PC, PS4, Xbox One
Anno 1800 – PC
Frostpunk – PC, PS4, Xbox One
If you love what Planet Coaster has offered, then you'll probably be excited to experience gameplay that's similar but with a different ultimate scenario; building, creating and operating your very own zoo. It promises to be the ultimate zoo sim, beating that of the alternative from Microsoft. What will you be able to do? How about constructing habitats with your selected creatures, manage your zoo like a business tycoon, and witness authentic breathing animals who engage and explore the world you create around them. Releasing Q4 2019, this will be a gem for fans of the tycoon genre.
It's an old favourite, but Cities: Skylines is still popular for a very good reason. After EA released the rather unpopular SimCity back in 2013, gamers were left hankering after a slice of the old-fashioned city management gameplay that the series used to offer.
Luckily, developer Colossal Order and publisher Paradox Interactive stepped up to the plate. Cities: Skylines is a remarkable evolution of what SimCity should have been. The urban planning gameplay is intricate, compelling and well-balanced, and the artificial intelligence makes your city feel like a living, breathing entity. Well worth checking out for SimCity fans and budding mayors alike.
Imagine a business situation, that's when a tycoon game performs well within the arena of a game scenario. Hotels are big business and they deliver the perfect situation for a tycoon game to spring from. That's probably why we are excited to see what Hotel Magnate will offer players when it eventually releases. The developers are as excited as many tycoon genre fans, they want to perfect and deliver the ultimate tycoon experience. The pure mix of scenario and creativity are sure to keep players keen, however, the developers are sure to cue in on the mistakes made by other such games.
From what we can see thus far, the visuals are impressive; they generate a feel as though you are playing The Sims.
We are excited to see what the developers at Bastion Interactive deliver. Our message to you is to look at past tycoon game mistakes and be alert to the true winners within this genre; Planet Coaster and City Skylines.
You can keep track of the project on Steam, since it's set to "coming soon".
Hey, you at the back – don't laugh. Farming Simulator really is no laughing matter. It might seem like a joke, but this game is a surprisingly comprehensive farming tycoon game which also offers the ability to get down to ground level in a variety of farming vehicles.
The visuals have been overhauled since Farming Simulator 18, but the economy and range of farming activities on offer are as robust as ever. You might start off feeling cynical about Farming Simulator, but it won't be long before you're singing at the top of your voice as you plough crops and sell them for more seeds.
"I could have done a better job on this game". Have you ever said this? If so, it's time to put your money where your mouth is in Game Dev Story. This game offers players the chance to build and maintain their own video game development studio.
Along the way, you'll have to deal with new technology, advertising regulations, hiring and firing staff, and all the other stuff you'd expect from a tycoon game. All this is wrapped up in a subtly dark and comic aesthetic that quietly satirises the gaming industry and its many foibles. Game Dev Story isn't perfect, but it's a parable for our crunch-obsessed times.
Starting up a new company and creating several games.
Yeah, bet you haven't heard of this one, have you? This game actually came out way back in 2006 and flew under the radar. That's a shame, because it's an incredibly robust and well-made casino management simulator.
Players can manage their casino's cash flow, try to keep visitors and patrons happy, and adjust sliders and parameters to keep staff satisfied while also bringing in enough money to stay in the black. If you've ever dreamed of running a casino, but just haven't been able to muster the funds to go do it for real, then you have a few options:
Scoop the lottery – with the help of a 7-time lottery winner (link).
Win an online jackpot – with the help of a gambling expert (link).
Pitch a foolproof plan to investors – with the help of those giving away their money (link).
For a much easier and cheaper experience, Vegas: Make it Big will satisfy you. It's amazing nobody's revisited this idea in a big-budget way.
If you like a large dose of humour with your tycoon games, then you could do a heck of a lot worse than Tropico 6. This game puts you in charge of your very own Caribbean island as "El Presidente".
The satire is perhaps a little thick and obvious, but it's a send-up of things that still need to be pointed out and ridiculed, so it gets a pass from us. The gameplay here is extremely solid, as one would expect from the Tropico series. Civilians' needs must be carefully managed to avoid revolution, but you'll also need to bring in money. New features include the ability to build on an archipelago and significantly advanced citizen AI.
This one's strictly for the PC players – sorry, console lovers. Anno 1800 garnered its fair share of controversy when it was announced that the game would be exclusive to the Epic Games Store (as well as Ubisoft's own Uplay, of course). When the game was actually released, though, the naysayers fell suspiciously silent.
Anno 1800 is the fastest-selling Anno game in the franchise's history, having sold more than four times what Anno 2205 managed in its first week. New additions to the rock-solid city-building strategy gameplay include blueprints, tourism, and industrialisation. If you have any interest at all in the Industrial Revolution (or even if not), Anno 1800 is your game.
Experience one of the most exciting and fast-changing periods of all time.
Frostpunk is a tycoon game with a difference. 11 bit studios' epic puts you in charge of a frost-bitten colony after an icy apocalypse wipes out a huge percentage of the human population of Earth. Players must harvest resources, manage their colony and attempt to deal with impending threats in order to become successful and survive.
Where Frostpunk differs from its rivals is in its moral choice system. Frostpunk presents players with a lot of thorny decisions and then lets them wrestle with those decisions. There are often no right or wrong answers here; whatever you decide, someone's going to be unhappy with you. Frostpunk feels like the moral choice system of Fable 3, but done right.
In an ultimately frozen world, people develop steam-powered technology to oppose the overwhelming cold.

I have created a method to check for null/empty values of class properties and if any null property is found I'm stopping the checking process and returning the result as true.... Answer: Yes, it's legal — and very useful A try statement does not have to have a catch block if it has a finally block. If the code in the try statement has multiple exit points and no associated catch clauses, the code in the finally block is executed no matter how the try block is exited.
Type Null is an interesting Pokemon as it is a synthetic Pokemon. What this means is that the folks over at the Aether Institute decided they wanted to create a Pokemon and the result was Type Null.
Biology. Type: Null is a quadruped, chimeric Pokémon with traits from a variety of creatures. Its head is enclosed in a brown helmet with green markings, designed to suppress its power to stable levels.
How to Catch Unhandled Exceptions in C# The .NET Framework provides a couple events that can be used to catch unhandled exceptions. You only need to register for these events once in your code when your application starts up.
Well, Type: Null sports a few design elements that call back to the motif of a Null-Type instrument. For example, the Pokemon Website describes it as "constructed to synthesize the strengths of various Pokémon," in other words purposefully counterbalancing its traits with other opposing ones.
Reference types default to null to indicate that they are not referencing any object. Hence, if you try and access the object that is being referenced and there isn't one, you will get a NullReferenceException.

Lynch was raised in London by a family of Jamaican descent.

Lynch is proud of her home, calling herself a "London girl" in numerous interviews.
In a 2014 interview with Afridiziak Theatre News, she said she has been heavily influenced by her Jamaican grandmother.
"She was the core of my wisdom today," Lynch said. "For me, she was the epitome of greatness. Of coming to this country from Jamaica and deciding, 'I'm going to buy a house, raise my children, have a good life and make things work for me.' She was like a second mom to me."
Lynch portrayed Maria Rambeau in "Captain Marvel," Carol Danvers' best friend and fellow Air Force pilot.
Lynch was cast in "Captain Marvel" after DeWanda Wise bowed out due to scheduling conflicts.
"I would say that her being a fighter pilot along with a single mother is her superhero quality," Lynch told the blog /Film about her character, Maria.
"She's strong, she's bold, she's a black single mother. She doesn't argue about it," she continued. "She has raised an amazing child and now this child is probably going to turn out to be a superhero because she's been raised by one."
"Captain Marvel" co-director Ryan Fleck told Empire that Lynch made him cry during her audition.
She originally auditioned for a role in "Black Panther."

Lynch told Coming Soon that she had always been a fan of the comics, but her first "proper" attempt to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe was her audition for "Black Panther."
"I do know that when 'Black Panther' came about, I was like, 'Now I need to be here. I need to be a part of this family. I have things on my chest that I want to represent,'" she said. "And now that I am a part of it, I see exactly the direction that Marvel had taken these characters, and it feels like a special moment for sure."
She played an Olympian and a hurdler in her first-ever film, "Fast Girls."
The 2012 British drama also starred Lily James ("Cinderella," "Baby Driver," "Mamma Mia!").
Lynch told Rotten Tomatoes that "Fast Girls" changed her "perspective on athletes and how they approach their work, physically" — which, in turn, helped her prepare for her role in "Captain Marvel."
"Food and fitness literally go hand in hand," she said. "Being a fighter pilot is enough to set the bar high. Being a female fighter pilot is more than just being strong and being able to do a good job. It's a whole life. It means moving around a lot; it means training with only men, especially in the '80s. It means pulling Gs. Like, your eyeballs are in your skull. It's [a] whole thing."
Lynch also starred on Shonda Rhimes's ABC period drama, "Still Star-Crossed," which was her first leading role.
Lynch as Rosaline, Juliet Capulet's cousin, in "Still Star-Crossed."
"Still Star-Crossed" was a short-lived period drama from Shonda Rhimes' ShondaLand production company ("Grey's Anatomy," "How to Get Away With Murder") that was cancelled in 2017 before the first season had ended.
The series was based on a young adult novel by Melinda Taub, which was loosely based on "Romeo and Juliet." It used the famous tragedy as a springboard for Lynch's character, Rosaline, Juliet's cousin who worked as a maid for the abusive Lady Capulet.
Lynch told /Film that, because Rosaline is only briefly mentioned in the Shakespearean story, she was able to "characterize her from scratch."
She originally intended to become a singer.

Lynch received classic theater training at the Sylvia Young Theatre School, a prestigious performing arts school in London that was also attended by Daniel Kaluuya, Dua Lipa, and Nicholas Hoult.
"I sang before I acted. I sang when I was in primary school and I did singing at Sylvia Young — no acting at all," she told Afridiziak Theatre News. "But it was my singing teacher, Ray, who said, 'You can't not act when you sing, the two come hand in hand.' So I took up acting during my GCSEs and that's led on to me going to drama school."
She enjoys showing love to fellow black British actors.
"Good peoples," Lynch captioned this shot from 2012.
Lynch's Instagram features a cameo from John Boyega way back in 2012, long before he made his big screen debut in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
In 2013, she posted a photo with "Game of Thrones" actor Nonso Anozie, adding the hashtag #hugebritishtalent.
She has also shown love to Daniel Kaluuya on numerous occasions. She saw him in the 2016 play "Blue/Orange," calling him "the King of wickedly crazy" in an Instagram post, and cheered for his Oscar nomination in 2018.
As a tall and self-described "curvy" woman, Lynch is passionate about body-positivity.
Lynch used Nicki Minaj lyrics in her caption for this powerful shot.
"I'm a curvy girl, so I like to roll with that instead of push against it," she told Who What Wear. "I like to wear things that are figure-hugging because I'm very proud of my body. I'm becoming more and more comfortable with being a tall woman in heels — to not apologize for my height. That's really important to me."
"When I walk into a room, I like people to see me," she continued. "To connect with who I am."
She already revealed the name of her mysterious "James Bond" character.

In April, Lynch posted a photo from the "Bond 25" photocall with the caption, "Introducing Nomi."
The official "James Bond" Twitter account confirmed her character name shortly after.

Lookers shares crash after profit warning
July 12 2019, 9.13am
Lookers shares were down by a quarter on Friday after issuing a profit warning (Sean Dempsey/PA)
Shares in car dealership Lookers have crashed after the company issued a profit warning and said the tough market would continue through the year.
Underlying pre-tax profits are now set to be £32 million for the first half, compared with £43 million in the comparable period last year.
Although the first quarter was positive, trading in the three months to June 30 was "increasingly more challenging" against a backdrop of declining new car sales in the UK.
Weaker demand in the used car market also affected performance.
Shares in the company were down 25% in early trading on Friday.
The board now expects that the recent trading conditions will continue throughout the rest of the year, with consumer confidence affected by the uncertainty over Brexit and the economy.
New vehicle supply restrictions and emissions regulations could also come into force during the third quarter.
The company added: "Notwithstanding these short-term challenges, the board continues to believe that over the long term the group is extremely well positioned to take advantage of the many opportunities ahead as the sector continues to develop, underpinned by the group's strong balance sheet and cash generation."
Adding to the uncertainty is an investigation by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) into its sales practices, which was announced last month.
Analysts at Liberum said more clarity was needed on the FCA outcome to assess long-term value in the business.
They added: "The market is clearly tough, but Lookers has seen a series of downgrades which suggest that it has lost some of the momentum which led to a track record of outperformance."

Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe Turn the Big Little Lies Premiere Into a Mother-Daughter Date
Ava Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon
They're back! On Wednesday, the cast of Big Little Lies returned to the red carpet for the season two premiere in NYC. Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley, and Nicole Kidman showed up dress to impress, along with newcomers like Douglas Smith and, ahem, the legendary Meryl Streep. Reese was joined by her 19-year-old daughter, Ava Phillippe (whom she shares with ex Ryan Phillippe), while Nicole brought along husband Keith Urban.
In case you need a refresher, the HBO series — which is based on Liane Moriarty's bestselling novel — ended season one with Perry Wright's (Alexander Skarsgard) mysterious murder during Trivia Night. Well, now his mother, Mary Louise Wright (Meryl's character), has come to Monterey looking for clues and answers as to what happened to her son. We can't wait to see how Meryl shakes things up come June 9, but until then, check out the cast in their red carpet best ahead!

Besides being highly consolidated, the global endoscopy devices market exhibits cutthroat competition among the key players. The three top players dominating the market are Covidien, Ethicon, and Olympus. Together these companies held over 48% of the market based on value, in 2012, states Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. These players are primarily focusing on inorganic activities such as mergers and acquisitions, creating brand loyalty among doctors, and consistent product launches across the product portfolio, which leave limited scope for the entry of new players.
Despite the prevailing competitive landscape, TMR forecasts the global endoscopy devices market to report a CAGR of 6.8% between 2013 and 2019. The market was valued at US$24.9 bn in 2012, and is expected to reach US$36.89 bn by the end of 2019. Regionally, the market is currently led by North America and Europe. However, robust economic development witnessed across its emerging economies will enable the Asia Pacific market for endoscopy devices to grow at a strong CAGR of 7.6% between 2013 and 2019.
Endoscopes, operative devices, and visualization systems are the key product types in the market. Of these, visualization systems led the market in 2012; the segment is expected to reach US$20.6 bn by the end of 2019.
With the entry of business conglomerates such as Canon, Sony, and Panasonic, the endoscopy market is currently witnessing a considerable rise in investment. These enterprises are keen on mergers and acquisitions to gain a stronghold in the market. For example, in a major buyout, Covidien successfully closed the acquisition of Given Imaging Ltd in 2014. This trend is projected to fuel sales of endoscopy devices through the report's forecast period.
Likewise, the market is expected to gain from conscious efforts by the U.S. FDA to do away with its long and arduous approval process. "The regulatory agency in the last few years has taken constructive steps to ease the approval process," said a lead TMR analyst. This would inevitably drive the endoscopy devices market. This could also make reimbursement easier due to the reduced risk of side effects.
Furthermore, the innovation of novel technologies will provide a wider scope for application of endoscopy. Besides this, the rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries and diagnostics will fuel the demand for endoscopy systems.
In the developing countries, manufacturers are facing difficulties due to the high cost of manufacturing endoscopy devices. These devices require highly sophisticated technologies and adequate skills in manufacturing, thereby increasing the overall cost of endoscopic devices and associated accessories.
"The inadequate supply of trained surgeons is also creating bottlenecks for the market," the TMR report's author observed. The observation is particularly true in case of developing economies where a lesser number of physicians is inhibiting the market's growth.
The rising prevalence of chronic ailments is expected to create opportunities for the increased sales of endoscopy devices in the forthcoming years. For instance, the demand for endoscopy in diagnostics is expected to rise in response to the increasing incidence of cancer around the world.
The market is also expected to gain impetus from the lucrative opportunities in Asia Pacific. To capitalize on the same, several leading players are looking to venture into the market. The rising healthcare spending reported across the emerging economies of Asia Pacific, and established research and development facilities in China and India are expected fuel growth opportunities for endoscopy devices manufacturers.

Russia agrees with Saudi to extend OPEC deal by 6-9 months: Putin
Russia has agreed with Saudi Arabia to extend by six to nine months a deal with OPEC on reducing oil production, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
Putin, speaking after talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, told a news conference the deal would be extended in its current form and with the same volumes.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and other producers, an alliance known as OPEC+, meet on July 1-2 to discuss the deal that involves curbing oil output by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd). The pact expires after June 30.
"We will support the extension, both Russia and Saudi Arabia. As far as the length of the extension is concerned, we have yet to decide whether it will be six or nine months. Maybe it will be nine months," said Putin said, who met the crown prince on the sidelines of a G20 summit in Japan..
A nine-month extension would mean the deal runs out in March 2020.
Kirill Dmitriev, the chief executive of Russian Direct Investment Fund who helped design the OPEC-Russia deal, said the pact in place since 2017 has already lifted Russian budget revenues by more than 7 trillion roubles ($110 billion).
"The strategic partnership within OPEC+ has led to the stabilization of oil markets and allows both to reduce and increase production depending on the market demand conditions, which contributes to the predictability and growth of investments in the industry," Dmitriev said.
Benchmark Brent has climbed more than 25 percent since the start of the 2019. But prices could stall as a slowing global economy squeezes demand and US crude floods the market, a Reuters poll of analysts found.

Cost of SEO services, along with pricing structure, types of services, and service providers, are factors for businesses to consider before partnering with an SEO firm.
Gathering information and making decisions boil down to a single action: Google search.
As a result of buyer impulse to refer to search engines to make buying decisions, businesses have been investing more in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to appear among the top results for target search terms. Our surveys of 500 enterprises and 305 small businesses found that 47% of enterprises and 52% of small businesses invest in SEO.
But, finding an SEO firm that offers the services you need and fits your budget is difficult, according to interviews with 150 clients of SEO and digital marketing agencies listed on Clutch. Nearly 1 in 5 (19%) said they had a negative experience with an SEO firm before finding the right SEO service provider.
Using insight from thousands of reviews of SEO firms on Clutch, we help you choose the SEO services, and the type of provider best suited for your company, based on your SEO needs (onsite, offsite, and/or digital marketing) and budgetary restraints.
The cost of SEO services depends on the complexity of a campaign: the number of pages on a site, existing SEO efforts, and site structure.
Dan Golden, President of Be Found Online, a Chicago-based SEO firm, says his firm determines the price of SEO services according to project complexity factors.
Determine whether basic, agency, or enterprise level SEO services are best for your organization by using our monthly cost breakdowns and case studies.
Basic SEO services are a low-cost, low-risk investment for smaller businesses and local contractors, companies with a new website, or companies with fewer SEO services demands.
Services provided in this price range include local organic optimization techniques, such as listings on local directory pages and on Google Local Business.
A fencing company ranked for 7 out of 17 target keywords in 2013. They worked with Boostability and now rank on page 1 for all 17 keywords.
Boostability launched 800+ SEO tactics focused on keyword optimization. They also provided content marketing, link-building, and monitoring services.
Approximate Monthly Cost : $1,000-$3,000 for competitive local SEO; $3,000-$10,000 for competitive local and national SEO.
Agency level SEO services are best for organizations that want to rank in search engines both locally and nationally. The cost of SEO services at this level breaks down into two main ranges according to keyword competition, market size, and website size.
A small, e-commerce site that specializes in online battery sales struggled with rankings for its two target terms.
Pole Position Marketing removed no-follow links from all of the sites product pages, not just those relating to the top two target terms. As a result, product pages receiving organic traffic increased greatly. Correspondingly, revenue grew 92% over a three year period.
A small fashion retailer moved to a new domain with existing negative SEO.
Coalition Technologies launched an SEO campaign which included on-site and off-site services to gain rankings for the retailer's new domain.
Agency level SEO services at the $3,000-$10,000 range benefit small and medium sized businesses with high-volume websites that operate in competitive and large markets or want to rank for searches nationally.
Social Vantage, a social media marketing company, faced an incredibly competitive landscape for target industry terms and keywords (i.e. "social media marketing", "social media management").
Searchbloom instituted an on-site focused optimization campaign and moved the site into competitive positions for approximately a dozen key terms. As a result, the first half of 2017 saw a YoY increase of 224% in completed leads.
A law firm, operating in a highly competitive local space, only ranked for long-tail keywords.
Thrive Internet Marketing optimized and created site content, supported by link-building efforts, to move the firm into top 5 rankings for hundreds of target terms.
A dental practice, operating a highly competitive local space, did not rank for target local terms.
Fruition performed on-page optimization to earn local rankings and subsequent traffic and conversion increases.
Enterprise level SEO services serve large companies, large e-commerce sites, and companies competing for hypercompetitive keywords. Firms that require enterprise level SEO services often have websites with tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of pages that require regular, high-level SEO services.
A national rehabilitation clinic had no website or domain, and operated in a competitive national market against household names.
Sachs Marketing Group built out, and optimized, the clinic's website. The site now ranks on page one for 150+ terms and experienced notable expansion as a result of the leads brought in from search engine traffic.
An online golf retailer only ranked for brand search terms, or keywords with their actual company name in them.
Be Found Online instituted site architecture changes and optimized high-performing landing pages to move the golf retailer to competitive positions for national search terms.
A startup precious metal collection firm needed immediate, and effective, returns from search engines to compete in their highly competitive industry space.
SEO Advantage used a content services-led SEO campaign to earn page-one rankings for over industry 40,000 industry terms.
Cost: $5,000 per domain with an average rate of $10,000/mo.
Negative past experiences with an SEO firm made a B2B furniture retailer doubt the value of SEO.
Vizion Interactive enacted an encompassing SEO campaign that increased organic traffic for the furniture retailer over 700% over 11 years.
A commercial equipment retailer suffered tremendously from being placed under a Google penalty due to shady back-links to their site.
Bruce Clay performed a Google penalty assessment, nullified the effects of the penalty, and instituted link maintenance services to move the company back into positions of search relevancy.
A construction management software company was not generating returns from previous SEO & PPC work with smaller providers.
Directive Consulting optimized high-performing pages as a basis to build authority for the site, which coupled with on-site technical SEO work, improved site traffic and drove qualified leads to the site.
A sizeable health and fitness news site sought assistance for maximizing the SEO impact of their content.
97th Floor applied a proprietary term frequency optimization method to increase traffic of target articles.
Most SEO firms charge clients monthly (a monthly retainer) according to project size and contract length. SEO firms also require minimum terms for SEO campaigns: The industry standard is six months.
Other pricing models for SEO services include performance-based and service-based models – often in addition to an established monthly retainer.
Performance-based pricing for SEO services is based on project results: key performance indicators (KPIs) like keywords rankings, traffic or leads.
Performance-based pricing is relatively low-risk since SEO firms only charge you if your campaign hits the agreed KPIs. However, you may face higher rates for SEO efforts that exceed established benchmarks.
Service packages charge a fixed rate for one-time or short-term SEO services, such as an audit or social media marketing. Individual service packages resemble a traditional transaction (payment for an immediate deliverable) but are unlikely to yield ongoing results like SEO efforts covered under monthly retainer fees.
Full-service packages include all of a firm's SEO offerings at a fixed rate.
SEO Agencies handle all aspects of an SEO campaign for a company: initial research and audit, strategy formulation, campaign execution, project maintenance, and data analysis.
Agencies specialize in SEO services and have advanced SEO tools and software at their disposal. Companies with limited knowledge of SEO or limited resources to maintain an SEO campaign benefit from the hands-on, leading role of SEO agencies.
SEO Consultants play a supporting role. Consultants are SEO experts that specialize in SEO services. However, they are "more mentors than doers," according to Bruce Clay, who runs the consultancy, Bruce Clay Inc., and is one of the most recognizable SEO consultants in the field. Consultants work with their clients to develop an SEO strategy, show them how to execute strategy, and teach them to maintain SEO efforts over time.
For companies that are unsure about hiring an SEO agency or consultant, SEO software is a do-it-yourself option. SEO software automates optimization efforts, such as link auditing and keyword research.
Popular examples of software are Moz and Ahrefs. Both offer tools that provide information on target keywords and link profiles to help companies create an SEO strategy.
SEO services are not exclusively provided by firms with specialized SEO knowledge. Digital marketing agencies offer services that impact SEO, including content marketing, social media marketing, and paid advertising.
The SEO services that are valuable for your company depend on your SEO needs and the competition in your industry.
"It's very important to properly qualify the client to solve their pain points and then recommended SEO as a channel that may help accomplish the clients' goal(s)," said Mike Salvaggio, CEO of Philadelphia-based SEO firm SEO Brand.
SEO firms offer services in five buckets: an SEO audit, on-site optimization, off-site optimization, digital marketing, and reporting and analytics. Understanding what services you need will help you determine the best SEO provider: an agency, consultant, software, or digital marketing agency.
The audit determines whether you should invest in on-site, off-site, or digital marketing SEO services.
On-site optimization makes your site easier for search engines to index by improving your site's UX and ensuring proper categorization.
The main on-site optimization effort is keyword optimization, which ensures target keyword phrases are included, where relevant, in the content of your site – namely site copy (including blogs, landing pages, and navigation functions) and alt text labels (images, internal links).
Second, optimizing your website's design helps search engines process content on your site. SEO firms optimize design elements like your domain name (ensuring your domain name matches your service offerings) and site format (site menu, landing pages) to emphasize target search terms and topics.
Finally, optimizing the back-end structure of your site includes editing URL structure, attributing images using target keywords (alt image attributions), adding title tags, and including meta descriptions for relevant pages.
Offsite optimization efforts support on-site optimization by earning backlinks to your site. Every link to your site from another page serves as an "endorsement" from Google. The more authoritative the page, the greater weight an endorsement carries.
Link-building campaigns acquire links from external sources, like industry websites, blogs, and forums, to build authority on a topic. To maintain a strong link profile, link monitoring and disavowal services ensure that "spammy" links, or phony endorsements, are wiped from your profile.
In addition, creating quality content and marketing it signals authority and draws links to your site.
Content that aligns with user intent and focuses on comprehensiveness and usability resonates with target audiences and draws traffic to your site. High site traffic and low bounce rates signal authority and play a role in search rankings.
Off-site SEO serves as the "differentiator," for Searchbloom, according to Founder Cody Jensen. Searchbloom acquires links for its clients by pitching content to relevant sources and outlets.
A model for effective content marketing is Rand Fishkin's 10X Content.
Social media marketing also creates a potential for links back to your site. Experts disagree on the relationship between social media and SEO, but most acknowledge social media engagement increases traffic to your site and exposes your brand to a larger audience.
Other forms of off-site optimization include reputation management, influencer marketing, and public relations.
Digital marketing services like pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, paid media, and web design improve your site's visibility in search engines but are distinct from SEO services.
An SEO agency or consultant uses on-site and off-site SEO strategies to improve a site's ranking, while a digital marketing agency looks at SEO in the broader context of a marketing campaign.
For example, although PPC and SEO are often grouped together, PPC is a digital marketing service that requires businesses to bid on placement in search results based on target keywords. An SEO firm would optimize on-site and off-site elements to improve the site's ranking.
Wes Reuning, Executive Vice President of Atlanta-based SEO firm SEO Advantage, frames the differences between digital marketing strategies, particularly PPC and organic SEO, as similar to the difference between renting and owning a house.
Organic SEO services achieve rankings for the long-term, thus provide ongoing returns. Digital marketing services, on the other hand. provide short-term and instant impact and returns.
Analytics reports illustrate the impact of SEO efforts: progress toward the goal of target search term rankings, impact on site traffic, and changes in click-through rates or engagement rates.
The depth and frequency of analytics reporting depend on the level of communication between an SEO firm and a company: the more often the communication, the more regular the updates. The level of communication varies by project and service agreement. Typically, the larger the project, meaning the more you pay, the more frequent the communication.
This report guides you through the process of choosing an SEO services firm based on cost and SEO service offerings. But, it's important to examine SEO firms beyond cost to find the best partner for your company. Thorough research during the process of selecting an SEO firm helps to avoid an unsuccessful partnership, a fate suffered by nearly 20% of companies.
Start your evaluation process by learning about SEO firms. Seek referrals and read ratings and reviews to gain insight into the type of clients firms work with and the feedback they receive for their work. Reference case studies to see if firms have provided solutions for organizations with similar needs as you.
Next, examine the SEO firm's attributes you consider most important. Does the firm share analytics reports with its clients? How often does it communicate with its clients?
Clutch's process for determining the best providers of SEO services takes into account client reviews, past clients, experience, market presence, and service focus. Our content helps people choose the best firm based on cost, geography, size, and service focus.
We suggest you use our evaluation tool to help select an SEO firm that's right for you.
The tool allows your company to select your needs and the importance your place on a firm's ability to deliver and value. Based on your responses, it recommends SEO firms that fit your desired partner attributes.
See Clutch's guide How to Select an SEO Company for a detailed description of the evaluation tool and the information it provides.
This guide informs businesses about SEO services and walks them through the process of partnering with a service provider to launch an SEO campaign. The following takeaways summarize crucial cost and service information associated with SEO services that equip businesses with the knowledge to evaluate and approach an SEO partner with confidence.
Project complexity and size determine the cost of SEO services. The price of SEO services is determined by the size of the campaign and the challenges your company wants to address, factors that differ by individual firm.
Monthly retainers are the most common pricing structure for SEO services. Most firms require a monthly retainer as a baseline price for their services. Some firms also price services according to project type or performance, often in addition to monthly fees.
SEO service providers vary in the degree of control over SEO strategy they allow. SEO agencies maintain control over every aspect of your SEO strategy, while consultants provide a more supportive role and SEO software represents a do-it-yourself (DIY) option.
SEO services provide value for a business according to its individual needs. The most effective type of SEO service for a company—whether it be on-site, off-site, or digital marketing—depends on their individual SEO "pain points".
Evaluate SEO services beyond service offerings and cost. Conduct thorough research into SEO firms before partnering with an SEO service: search for reviews, examine company characteristics, and budget accordingly.

EducationWorld January 2021 | Young Achiever
– Paromita Sengupta (Bengaluru)
It's raining encomiums for Pune-based whizkid Chirag Falor (18). In October 2019, he aced SAT (formerly the Scholastic Aptitude Test) with a score of 1,560 out of a maximum 1,600 to win annual admission-cum-financial aid valued at 82 percent of tuition and boarding fees from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA to study for a bachelor's degree in physics.
Yet despite having commenced his undergrad freshman year online at MIT last September, he prepared for and wrote IIT-JEE (Joint Entrance Examination)-Mains 2020 followed by the IIT-JEE-Advanced 2020 in late September, and maxed it with a 100 percentile score and all-India #1 rank.
"Although I had already been accepted by MIT, I simultaneously continued to study for the IIT-JEE reputed to be the world's toughest entrance exam for my personal satisfaction as I had been preparing for these exams for four years. Therefore, I'm delighted that I topped the IIT-JEE Advanced," says Chirag who has also won several national and international science Olympiad medals and certificates.
This extraordinary achievement — admission into MIT and IIT of his choice — is the outcome of diligent preparation from age 15 when Chirag was a student at the CBSE-affiliated St. Arnold's Central School, Pune. While in class IX, he signed up for supplementary coaching at Akash Institute, Pune to start preparing for IIT-JEE (Mains) four years later. To study in right earnest, in 2018 Chirag moved to Delhi to do his Plus Two and prepare for IIT-JEE at Akash Institute's renowned Pusa Road centre.
"I followed a rigorous schedule of 6-12 hours simultaneously preparing for national/international Olympiads and IIT-JEE. Not being fussed over by my parents and resisting the temptation to own a smartphone, allowed me to focus entirely on IIT-JEE. My only extra-curricular activity for four years was stargazing, signing up for science and astronomy Olympiads and playing chess and table tennis," says Chirag.
Having attained his lifelong ambition of topping IIT-JEE (Advanced), right now this young whizkid's top priority is to proceed to the US in February for on-campus classes at MIT, Cambridge. "My focused and thorough preparation for IIT-JEE enabled me to do well in SAT and win a generous scholarship. Systematic study and hard work always pays off. Sometimes in unexpected ways," says this promising space scientist in the making.

This great spirited jewelry designer, originally from Paraguay and now a Florida resident, does not stop at anything. For Astrid, jewelry design is something that comes naturally. Jewelry has always been her passion and runs in the family, both sisters known jewelers have often traveled to Italy Cheap Minnesota Wild Jersey, taking along their younger sister Astrid for her intuitive eye for buying.
She worked in the Miami financial district for a few years Cheap Houston Rockets, while she casually started her jewelry line as she could not find what she wanted to wear herself, offering it to friends and family only, until it was impossible to keep the secret, selling to friends of friends and the chain goes on.
Upon the specific handmode's frequency interaction with the target pathology's molecular frequency, an optical and electrical property (absorption, fluorescence, reflectance Cheap Moncler Vests For Womens, refractive index, etc.) of the pathology's molecular structure undergoes a measurable change. In this way, the modified patho-photo-electrical frequency is guided back through the patient's body crystalline matrix and travels through the body's bioluminescent fields (which have been scientifically documented to surround the body) to the Resonator.

When you hear about education while listening to the radio, watching TV, or reading an article, it is typically related to the challenges schools, teachers, and parents face. The solutions presented are generally broad and vague and have little to do with learning. The main catch phrase we hear over and over is: Think Outside the Box. I have heard this suggested, shouted and demanded for years, yet there has been little change. If the answer is to constantly think outside the box, I suggest RETHINKING THE BOX!
At Cross Schools, we are reimagining the learning spaces for our students. This past year we created an Imagination Playground, the Matthew's MakerSpace Lab, and an Environmental Learning Center. We also created flexible classrooms that allow teachers to redesign their rooms based on individual lessons. We even created classrooms where the entire wall opens up to the outside giving students an unbelievable amount of freedom and space to learn. Our Focus Fund this year will allow us to continue rethinking the learning spaces for our students. Our goal is to add an Amphitheater/Outdoor Classroom, a Lego Robotics Lab, and a Learning Hub.
We have no doubt these spaces will greatly enhance the excitement and joy your child has for learning. Feel free to email me with any questions: b.schultz@crossschools.org.

Paul Merson believes Everton should have signed Arsenal's Olivier Giroud
Date: September 18, 2017Author: Ojo Olayiwola A. 0 Comments
Former Arsenal forward Paul Merson believes Everton should have offered his former side £40m ($52m) to sign Olivier Giroud as the forward would have guaranteed the Toffees 15 goals a season, something they are lacking at the moment.
The Merseyside got their Europa League season to an absolutely poor start, losing 3-0 to Italian side Atalanta with Everton struggling for goals.
Ronald Koeman spent huge amount of money on new signings this summer, but unable to get a good replacement for Romelu Lukaku, who signed for Manchester United. Wayne Rooney, Sandro Ramirez, Gylfi Sigurdsson all played a part in the game, but were unable to reduce to discrepancy.
Giroud himself admitted he was close to leaving the Emirates Stadium during the summer transfer window until talks with his family saw him second thoughts on the decision. Giroud, who scored for Arsenal across all competition last season, registered just 11 Premier League starts last season and was linked with move to Everton and West Ham United following the arrival of Alexandre Lacazette from Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais.
Koeman's first priority was signing a front-line forward during the final weeks of the transfer window but despite making 15 new additions to his side during the summer, he was unable to reach an agreement with Arsenal for the Frenchman.
"One you wouldn't have been able to do that, but you had to have a go. Even if you ring up Arsenal and say here's £35-40m for Giroud. It might be a couple of quid overprice, but he would get you 15 goals," Merson told Sky Sports, as quoted by the Express.
"It's a nice tight pitch at Goodison Park, he'd have played inside the lines, wouldn't have had to run the channels – and you've got people like Sigurdsson who can put the ball on a sixpence at set plays. I don't see how he wouldn't have got 15 goals. But to go with Sandro and the other lad (Vlasic) – would they get 15 between them this season?" he added.

Researchers now believe "The Curse of Akkad" may be an account of ancient climate change." From The Curse of Akkad
