Search Engine Optimization

QUESTION:

Hey…quick question. I am wondering the trick of these search engine games. I have read about how you use tag words, etc. to have your website come up on google with more frequency, but I don’t really understand what to do. Can you give me a quick 101 about how I would go about popping up on google more than the bigger companies do.
Thanks

ANSWER:

Well,
Search Engine Optimization is a never ending game.  But if you don’t start the game properly you could waste a lot of time and money.  Knowing what keywords to focus on is the first and most important step.  After that first step there are hundreds of things you can do to help your website index with google and the others…most of which will cost money.

Showing up more than the bigger companies do can be complicated, since they most likely have more money than you.  However, there is always a way to take nibbles of the market share for highly relevant and targeted keywords for your specific niche.  It’s all about the niche keywords.

Hope that helped a little.

Blog? How can a blog help my business?

You shouldn’t be asking yourself how a blog can help your business but more importantly when you will be launching a blog for your business. We talk to many people who can’t seem to understand the value of a blog for their business which I find just fascinating. If you are going to be serious about driving an online business you will have to be serious about incorporating every aspect of online marketing into your strategy, including blog marketing.

One thing you have to realize is that a blog is more than just a journal, it is a communication tool between your company and the outside world. There are many different ways you can really optimize the use of your blog posts to drive in new traffic and create much needed business for yourself. By simply incorporating keywords into your blog posts you can quickly see your blog posts ranking for many different targeted keywords. It is important to always write blog posts for humans but there should always be elements of blog marketing and search engine optimization in all your posts. A blog can be used in many ways to pull new traffic and business in. You could use it as a how to guide, new products or simply just a way to give your audience any new information on your industry or your business.

Make sure your blog are interesting and inviting. Cater your blog so that you stand out from your audience a bit. Blogs don’t have rules, it is OK to go against the grain and put anything you want in them.

Don’t forget to promote your blog on all of your Social Media Marketing Networks. Remember you are using the social networking sites to bring new traffic to your website. Not the other way around!

Social Network Marketing & Attraction Marketing

There’s a good chance you are already doing some form of “Social Media Marketing” or “Attraction Marketing” for your business. Defining it and understanding it is the first step. Then you can fine-tune your niche marketing strategies and increase your online exposure. Having a clear path or direction will help you get the most out of any online marketing campaign.

What is ATTRACTION MARKETING?

Attraction marketing is about branding and marketing yourself. It’s about using the numerous free resources we have in today’s hi-tech world to brand yourself and having people seek you out to form an alliance and/or join your business opportunity without you having to seek them out using traditional means and ways of marketing. Make yourself popular, and you’ll find that attraction marketing can send a steady flow of leads to your door daily.

The key to a successful online marketing campaign is content, whether you use a personal website, SEO content, article writing, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, blogs or other strategies for building an online reputation for yourself. Information exchange and service is, after all, another form of attraction marketing that will work for you. Anytime you can provide others with info, advise or helpful service, you’re creating a positive image for yourself that will build trust and confidence in you, which in turn develops a following.

What is SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING?

Social media marketing is a recent component of organizations’ integrated marketing communications plans. Integrated marketing communications is a principle organizations follow to connect with their targeted markets. Integrated marketing communications coordinates the elements of the promotional mix—advertising, personal selling, public relations, publicity, direct marketing, and sales promotion—to produce a customer focused message.
[1] In the traditional marketing communications model, the content, frequency, timing, and medium of communications by the organization is in collaboration with an external agent, i.e. advertising agencies, marketing research firms, and public relations firms.

[2] However, the growth of social media has impacted the way organizations communicate with their customers. In the emergence of Web 2.0, the internet provides a set of tools that allow people to build social and business connections, share information and collaborate on projects online.
[3]Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that attracts attention, generates online conversations, and encourages readers to share it with their social networks. The message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it is coming from a trusted source, as opposed to the brand or company itself.

Social media has become a platform that is easily accessible to anyone with internet access, opening doors for organizations to increase their brand awareness and facilitate conversations with the customer. Additionally, social media serves as a relatively inexpensive platform for organizations to implement marketing campaigns. Organizations can receive direct feedback from their customers and targeted markets.
