Social Media for SEO

2010-01-22T02:45:00.000-08:00

Social Media for SEO

By using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace you can build fan lists which can be used to grow your database. At the same time, however, you can tap into no-cost marketing to people that want your product or like what you could be offering!

How do you use Social Media?
The best approach is to NOT use Social Media for SEO by trying to market your product or service. I recommend that you rather use Social Media for SEO by creating topical subject matter that surrounds your product or service.

By thinking out of the box and creating conversation about your service and or product on Social Media platforms you get to generate debate and interest not to mention interaction. That's the goal when using Social Media. That's the POWER of using Social Media to promote.

For example, discussing some product to do with your business which makes candles, could start a conversation on Social Media about which colour candles are best to use for a romantic bath set up. Should they be long or short, wide or narrow and does it matter if they are decorated with ribbons or not? Do you see how this is different to going and saying, "I make candles. Come buy my products"?

Make it fun and social. Remember the story behind your product and think of why people would want to use your product and ESPECIALLY in WHAT context would it make conversation & therefore a SOCIAL matter!

Have a great weekend!

Use Google Analytics

2010-01-11T00:03:00.000-08:00

If you are serious about SEO, search engine optimisation, then you have to sign up for a Google Analytics tool.

Google Analytics allows you to track basically everything to do with your website like visitor traffic, daily hits, referring websites, favourite pages, top page rank and lowest page rank within your site, how long visitors stay on your site, when they leave it and so much more...

Here's some more detail:

ANALYTICS INTELLIGENCE
Google Analytics monitors your reports and automatically alerts you of significant changes in data patterns.

Why is this important? This info is vital if you are going to start running a new marketing campaign or upload a new section on your site to assess whether it is running as planned or needs help!

ADVANCED SEGMENTATION
Isolate and analyze subsets of your website traffic with a fast interactive segment builder.

Traffic is money. By creating areas of your website that can be analysed you get product related or services related data that can be compared and correlated across your website to provide you with information that should be acted upon.

How so? Well, you may have thought that the main area of your website has to do with a particular product like the "Kindle" e-reading platform but once you use Google Analytics you discover that it actually is traffic derived from visitors looking for ebooks that can be downloaded to the Kindle and not the Kindle itself.

Why do this? Websites are all about generating traffic. If you know where it is coming from you can focus on that aspect of your target market and it may even lead to new products and services you never considered at first.

FLEXIBLE CUSTOMIZATION
Get the data you need, organized in the way you want to see it with custom reports, custom variables, and a flexible tracking API.

This is complicated stuff but it can be pretty simple. Go over the tutorial videos & other support tools to get you up to expert level or just get you pulling the reports you need to improve your search engine optimisation as well as business profits.

To learn more, visit http://www.google.com/analytics/ and take a product tour. I suggest watching all of the video content provided before you sign up. Get as familiar as you can with using the Google Analytics tool.

When you feel semi-confident and you've spent maybe 1-2 hours going over the basics and become familiar with the tools available and site tools for support, sign up.

What have you got to lose? The only thing is you lose out on is getting more leads which means loss of potential business right? So go get started now. Don't leave it more than a week. If you do, it just won't happen.

All the best SEO for 2010 and the new decade!

SEO & YouTube

2009-12-03T23:03:00.000-08:00

If you want to get bonus search engine listings and back links to your product or website, one of the lowest cost ways to do so is to make a short 60 second video and post it up on YouTube!

Ensure that you research the search engine optomisation keywords to use in your description and especially the title of the video before posting up. Everything you do about SEO needs to be based on research and keyword density with a focus on keyword optimisation!

So, get a video made for YouTube and insert your website or URL into the video at the start and the end on a black screen with white text. Also insert a phrase that sums up your chosen keywords about your product or site below the URL.

Check that you have researched the keywords that you include in the title and description properly! Make sure the title of the video is catchy and specific!

Voila! You're now on YouTube with 1000s more hits coming your way!

Google Site Maps for SEO

2009-11-27T22:40:00.000-08:00

Why Google Site Maps for SEO

It's that time again! The silly season some call it. Well, it's probably the quiet time for many businesses unless you're in retail.

If you operate an online business with internet products or digital products for sale, or even physical products for sale, it is the time of year that the power of your internet promotion will really be tested! Why do I say this?

Just about everyone is trying to get the best deal to as many people as they can as many times over as they can. Online exposure is no exception. You can believe that thousands of dollars are being spent in order to generate leads for specials, discounts and good deals out there!

How can you help your online business grow? One of the least used tools for generating leads is provided by Google! But not the way you think! In order to promote your online business, help people find your site!

You may not want people actually visiting your house or your garage, if that's where you operate from. But the idea is simply to list the address of your place of work so you can be included in the Google Maps directory engine for Search Engine Optimisation!

So, log on to your local Google Maps directory: USA, UK, Africa etc and submit your address and internet business on as many of them as possible. Especialy if your internet business is global... ie you provide digital products like ebooks and mp3s and so on.

Tip for the week: Use Google Maps for Search Engine Optimisation!

10 Steps to improving your website.

2009-09-14T07:18:00.000-07:00

A huge number of the websites currently posted on the Internet quietly fade into obscurity within a year or so. This is mainly due to the fact that the owners are not aware of what it takes to ensure that a website becomes successful, profitable and continues to grow. Simply posting a website on the Internet without following the steps below will only ensure one thing – FAILURE.

Many of you will know this from experience – however it is not too late to correct this.

Follow these steps and your chances of owning a profitable website will be greatly improved:

1. Have your website built by a professional – someone who knows the key elements required to increase your chance of success.

2. Review each page of your website for any errors regarding content, images, prices, contact information, spelling, product model numbers or anything else that will become an embarrassment should potential clients find it.

3. Include a variety of live Links on each of your website pages and test them to make sure they work.

4. Test your website to see if it can be viewed correctly in all of the main browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, Explorer, Safari, Opera etc. and if not make the necessary corrections.

5. Add some affiliate products that visitors to your website may be interested in. This could help with repeat traffic and even extra profit.

6. Once your website is completed ensure that the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) functions have been thoroughly completed by someone who specializes in this field – absolutely critical.

7. Vigorously market your website on a very regular basis using a variety of tools such as e-articles, e-mail campaigns, e-newsletters, blogs, forum boards, ads etc. - again absolutely critical.
8. Continuously maintain and update your website adding new products, content, images, success stories, links, contests, news or any other items that will attract new visitors and increase repeat traffic.

9. Keep informed about new applications that could boost the excitement of your website such as 3-D ‘turning pages’ e-catalogues, e-zines, e-books. Audio, video, blogs, forums, e-courses and a whole host of other items.

10. Most important – if you do not have the knowledge or skill set to accomplish the above important steps, do not simply ignore them. Join in on our forum board
