Social Media Myths - Blogging Doesn't Work

Social Media Myths - Blogging Doesn't Work

Blogging works, but just like any marketing tool, it has to be properly
executed. Unfortunately, many marketers don't have a game plan when it comes
to blogging and no matter what you attempt in life or in business, if you
don't have a game plan, you will fail.

When it comes to blogging, the first thing you need to figure out is, are
you doing it for fun or for profit? There's a huge difference. If you're
doing it for fun, you don't need to take blogging seriously. You can fool
around with it and post at your leisure without any pressure to generate any
income.

On the other hand, if you're blogging for profit, you have to approach
blogging much more seriously. You have to treat it like a business because
that's exactly what it is - a business. That means you have to post often
and refresh your content regularly to keep visitors coming back. It also
means you have to figure out an effective way to monetize your website so
that it's profitable.

For example, instead of monetizing your blog using Adsense, affiliate
programs or banners, why not use any skills you have to create a product or
service to monetize your blog. That way, instead of getting a slice of the
profit, you get to keep the whole darn pie!

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 ...

Local Business Online Visibility Tips – Use What You Do Every Day

When you think about online visibility for your local business it's so easy to get wrapped up and overloaded with what you should be doing on the internet to promote your website. Yet, small changes to your every day business routine can make a big difference. Often, business owners think about being visible online as a way of reaching people whom you have had no contact with at all. That's true in many cases. Sometimes, online visibility is as simple as making sure that people you interact with (even briefly) as part of your usual business routines are aware of your online presence. Not everyone wants to pick up the phone or call in to your premises to find out basic information like your opening hours or who to contact. Sometimes people just want to find out a bit more about you and your company. In this day and age of always being plugged in to the Internet, your website is the first p...

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. ...
