Forex Daily Outlook – September 16th 2009 Posted: 15 Sep 2009 11:19 PM PDT The dollar continues to weaken, especially after Bernanke’s speech. Today’s calendar is packed with CPI from Europe and the US, employment figures in Britain and many other releases. Let’s see what’s up for today. Although the dollar weakens, it doesn’t affect all currencies. Mervyn King sent the Pound down yesterday. On the other side of the channel, EUR/USD is continuing upwards. Casey Stubbs wrote a fresh technical analysis for EUR/USD. Australia’s MI Leading Index started the day with a 1.1 rise, and last month’s figure was revised upwards.

For more on the Swissy, read the USD/CHF Outlook. In Britain, the beaten Pound expects a major indicator today – Claimant Count Change. The rise in British unemployment claims is the earliest indicator of unemployment. After standing on 24.9K last month, it’s expected to stand on 24.7K this time. British Unemployment Rate is expected to rise from 7.8% to 8%. Although this is a late figure, it’s quoted by the media and impacts policymakers. The Average Earnings Index is expected to rise by 2.1%, after a 2.5% rise last time. For more on the British Pound, read the GBP/USD Outlook. It’s Europe’s turn for CPI. It’s expected to decline by 0.2%, after the same fall last month. Core CPI is expected to rise only 1.2%, less than last month’s 1.3%. For more on Euro’s week, read the EUR/USD Outlook.

TIC Long-Term Purchases, representing cash flow, are expected to squeeze from 90.7 to 65 billion. This usually moves the dollar across the board. Also in the US: Current Account is predicted to show a smaller deficit this time, of “only” 92 billion. The Capacity Utilization Rate is expected to rise from 68.5% to 69.1%. Industrial Production is expected to rise by 0.7% after a 0.5% last month.

How I Use SortFix for Content Refinement Posted: 15 Sep 2009 07:00 AM PDT SortFix can be easily used to get ideas for content refinement. Here’s an example of such usage, and also an idea for hte next step. As a publisher, I want my content to reach a wide audience. Search engine traffic is important to any publisher. One of the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) methods I use is content refinement. This means that I try to tweak the content that I’m already writing in order to target certain keywords. This doesn’t mean that I’ll totally change my content in order to satisfy search engines. The goal is to do the little tweaks that will make a difference. One of the pillars of my site’s content is the daily forex outlook. This section holds the biggest portion of the content, is read by the readers and is popular in other forex related sites. This  section is that it doesn’t get enough traffic from search engines. I would like to see casual readers join regular readers in my primary content. How do I make the content rank higher on search engines? There are lots of possible SEO methods and lots of material about this subject. Not all SEO experts know where to begin. I begin with SortFix. Searching for daily forex outlook on SortFix yields very useful power words. The first word is “market”, a word which I already use a lot in the daily outlooks. But the second word, “signals” slipped my mind. I commonly use the word “indicators”. Replacing “indicators” with “signals” will help me rank higher. Another word that I found on SortFix is “summary”. Similar to the word “signals”, adding the word “summary” to the daily outlooks won’t really change my content, but will refine it for search engines. The next level Some of the power words don’t just help you refine your content, but also give ideas for new content. In this example, one of the power words is “China”. I don’t cover China in my daily outlooks. I didn’t think it’s important enough. Sortfix hints me that it is – people are searching for it. If you’re new to these content matters, I suggest that you start checking out SortFix for content refinement, and later get ideas for writing content.
