Revolutionary Marketing Technology at Your Fingertips

Revolutionary Marketing Technology at Your Fingertips

Take blogging, for instance. While many business owners have a blog, most do
not blog on a weekly basis. They either can't find the time to blog, or they
can't come up with anything to write about week in and week out.

What they don't seem to understand is that blogging is one of the best ways
to reach out and engage both prospects and customers alike. They also don't
realize that the average business owner literally trips over ideas, human
interest stories and pearls of wisdom that would be of interest to the
public on almost a daily basis.

The problem is that when they come upon these concepts they fail to make
note of them by either writing or photographing these gems as soon as they
occur, even when they have the perfect device to perform both these chores
right on their hip.

That's right, a smartphone is the easiest way to capture any moment for
posterity that has ever been invented. Not only can you photograph an event,
most smartphones are video capable. This means you can provide a running
commentary that can be used as an electronic notebook which can later be
reviewed in order to write your blog.

Better yet, you can cut out the middle man altogether and create a video
blog that can then be distributed on your social networks, embedded on your
website and blogs and even attached to any printed literature via QR code.

Keep in mind that Google actively searches for mixed media such as video and
you can kill two birds with one stone by creating and optimizing videos that
can then migrate to page one of the world's most popular search engine.

While there are a number of other revolutionary online technologies that can
provide any business with a competitive edge, the only way that the web will
work for you is if you work the web.

The bottom line is that if the Internet is important to the continued
success of your business, then you need to start making it a priority to
engage and interact with your audience on at least a weekly basis. Whether
you perform this task yourself, or you outsource it to a professional online
marketer is entirely at your discretion. But, if you want to stop
languishing in the backwaters when it comes to communicating with the
public, you only have two choices:

1. Embrace online marketing.
2. Buy a horse.

What Are QR codes?

What Are QR codes? They come to us from Japan where they are very common. QR is short for Quick Response (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. You may soon see QR Codes in a magazine advert, on a billboard, a web page or even on someone's t-shirt. Once it is in your cell phone, it may give you details about that business (allowing users to search for nearby locations), or details about the person wearing the t-shirt, show you a URL which you can click to see a trailer for a movie, or it may give you a coupon which you can use in a local outlet. The reason why they are more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store (and digitally present) much more data, including url links, geo coordinates, and text. The other key feature of QR Codes is that instead of requiring a chunky hand-held scanner to scan them, many modern cell phones can sca...

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...
