			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those online business owners and website entrepreneurs that have done their homework on what makes a successful website different from an unsuccessful one already know that content is the key. Content provides material for the search engines to inspect and use to rank you higher in the search results, as well as dynamic material that will keep visitors returning to your site again and again.</p>
<p><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wr0EHZDy06k&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x2b405b&#038;color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wr0EHZDy06k&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x2b405b&#038;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p>
<p>A common mistake for rookie website owners to make is that they will work hard on their web pages, and then leave them to stagnate while they focus on other parts of the business. Although you can’t be redesigning your home page over and over, blog marketing is a great way to display unique content every day.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in ways that you can leverage dynamic content more efficiently so that it will help you to climb up even higher in the search engine rankings for the keywords that you are associated with, you’ve got to consider blog marketing and all the ways it can increase your visibility.</p>
<p>Those who have heard of blogging, but never heard of blog marketing will be interested to learn that it is a method for driving interested viewers to your web pages by creating attention grabbing posts and linking them to your main website.</p>
<p>Many people want to take advantage of <a title="Blog Marketing" href="http://www.majon.com/blog-marketing-promotion.html" target="_blank">blog marketing</a>, but don’t have the writing skills or the time necessary to accomplish this goal efficiently. This is when you should think about turning to an experienced internet marketing firm for help.</p>
<p>Those advertising firms that have a lot of experience with online companies will know just how to set up a blog marketing platform that can be easily updated, and that will attract attention from the major search engines, like Google and Yahoo. Then, if you so choose, these firms can have their teams of talented writers post content for you on a regular basis.</p>
<p>When you have a successful blog marketing campaign in place, you will have the advantage of additional sites linking to your site on a regular basis. The search engines will notice this, and they will note that the content on the blogs seems to be relevant to your site. As a result, you are likely to move up in the search rankings.</p>
<p>When it comes to internet marketing you have to be creative in order to survive. Click <a href="http://www.majon.com/blog-marketing-promotion.html">here</a> to learn more about how blog marketing can increase your site’s visibility and traffic.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[ Just a quick update to inform you that if you&#8217;re using Google&#8217;s product search , whether on your computers or mobile devices such as iPhone or Android phones, you can now check whether a particular product is in stock on a store nearby. You can check out the product&#8217;s availability by clicking on the &#8220;blue dot&#8221; included in the search results. This is particularly useful if you&#8217;re out on the street and saw something which you might want to buy. You can just search for the product on your mobile phones, and if Google mobile search returns a search result with a blue dot, you can check it out to find out where you can buy the product. You can also see the distance of the nearest store from your current location. Some popular retailers are already participating in the said feature including Best Buy, Sears, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn or West Elm.

		<description><![CDATA[ I have been enrolled in the Market Motive social media online course for close to two months now.  Each week I have been given a social media topic and have been responsible for viewing a certain number of films which go into detail about the topic being taught.  There have been a wide range of social media topics such as a week dedicated to Twitter and another dedicated to Youtube. Personally, going into the course I thought I was pretty familiar with the social media areas I was anticipating studying. I was excited to learn more of course, but didn’t have the highest of hopes. I honestly thought it would be nice to have a recap on the social areas I work with daily and after a few months of reiteration, I would obtain a certification to show off my knowledge. I have to say my original thoughts were narrow minded. I have been continuously surprised at the insight I am gaining each week.  Until now, I have been responsible for watching videos each week and partaking in conference calls with the faculty.(The course takes a turn now and the responsibilities change but I will write about all of that in a few days). The videos have each had such detail. They are unique to the faculty members who make the videos and specialize in the areas they are teaching. Video Topics A small amount of the material covered Blogging for Business Permalinks, RSS feeds, key word longtail , pitching check list Video &#038; Youtube Popular categories, channel, market share Viral Marketing Brand, conversion, campaign styles, viral themes Social News Networks Do’s and don’ts across various networks, strategies to becoming more successful on each Twitter Appropriate business decisions, tools, connecting on and offline, tracking Flickr Titles, tags, descriptions, search engines and Flickr Facebook How to utilize Facebook for your business with Facebook connect and ads LinkedIn Advertising on LinkedIn, groups Online Press Releases Wire Services, measurement, Keyword positioning   Market Motive resources that have been provided to me and that have impressed me throughout each week’s video viewings: 1) Examples of useful books to buy pertaining to the areas being taught that week which are based on social media current events and practices. 2) Informative commentary (humorous when applicable and serious when appropriate) Current Authoritative Timely 3) Graphs 4) Tools that the faculty use and recommend Seo plug ins Twitter tools Better headlines Tracking your Brand 5) Viral Marketing Brainstorming Checklist 6) Pitching check list Brief Video information for each week: 1)  Length of each video is provided 2)  2-7 videos necessary to watch each week 3)  Average 25 minutes per video Viewings do not have a specific deadline but rather anticipated due dates which are flexible. They are listed as an ideal due date but it is up the student to get things done in a timely manner. Weekly meetings with the faculty help ensure that students are on track and are not missing any points. 4)  One Quiz to follow all videos combined for the week The quiz each week is just for practice. A grade is assigned but does not count toward the overall grade. They are meant as preparation for the final exam and reiterate the material in the videos. The quizzes help make sure the students have understood what is being portrayed in the videos. Check out the SEO Tools guide at Search Engine Journal .

		<description><![CDATA[ Whether you work in-house or take on several clients, there are going to be projects that make you cringe and projects that feel good to work one. A lot of this depends on the project manager and/or client. Here are some things to look out for when deciding if a project is for you: Enthusiasm. When a client is enthusiastic about driving traffic to their web site and all the possibilities that can occur because of that traffic, it general means that they get it. They understand not only why their web site is important but also why search marketing is important to the success of that web site. They understand that their web site is an extremely important marketing tool and a good web site can mean a successful business. Flexibility. Here’s a huge, gigantic red flag for you – “I want to increase my organic search ranking, but I don’t want you to touch anything on my site. It’s perfect the way it is.”  Well unless you’re the best link builder out there and are trying rank for a 10-word keyphrase chances are, you’re not going to have much success. A lot of clients or project managers are super protective of their current site and aren’t willing to be flexible about the necessary changes for search marketing OR usability. If they’re not willing to budge, you won’t be able to do your job properly and that won’t end well for anyone. Involvement. This one can go two ways. On one hand, it’s always nice when a client sits back and trusts you to complete your work timely and well. However, I like a project manager to be engaged in some of the details of the project. For example, on a large e-commerce site that has seasonal products, it’s helpful to know when the sales cycle starts to shift from one product to another. Without historical data, a search marketer isn’t likely to know this. It’s important for the project manager to be available to answer questions that can make a big difference in a search marketing campaign. Respect. Does the client or project manager respect you as the expert in this area? If they start pulling the “I know someone who could do this for free/cheap” card, it may be that they don’t understand the value of your expertise and knowledge. Or if they scoff at your hourly rate when they charge just as much or more for their own services. These types of clients are the ones who make excuses about not paying the full amount of their invoices or insist that the work completed didn’t meet their expectations. If you’re not seeing some respect early on, you can expect to run into trouble down the road. Awareness. There are a lot of clients and project managers that are absolutely clueless about search marketing and some that have read a few blog posts and know all the buzz words. In the first case, you may have a hard time convincing that client why search marketing is so important. This is often the case for big companies, and an issue I faced while trying to introduce SEO to a major international brand when I worked for them in-house. They didn’t get it, didn’t want to learn and therefore they couldn’t be sold on it.  These people need data, graphs, case studies and a lot of education to be convinced. So unless you’ve got the time to invest in selling to this type of client, you may want to pass and move on to your next lead. The other person, the one who knows a thing or two, can be obnoxious with his or her “expert” opinion. You know, making sure that you’ve got all the meta keyword tags filled out. Hey, maybe we should put a bunch of words in the footer but make the text color the same as the background color. These types don’t take it well when you turn down their advice. Since maintaining a good relationship with your client is so important, this can result in a lot of awkwardness. A good client or project manager is aware, but respects your expertise (remember that? I just talked about it). Comfort. You’ll know early on if you’re comfortable working with someone. This is important, particularly for big projects where there will be a lot of communication.  If you’re not comfortable with someone, or they’re not comfortable with you, communication will break down leading to delays and complications with the project. That’s frustrating for everyone involved so it’s important to be aware of. While small businesses or new businesses may not be able to be overly selective in choosing their clients, the right decisions can lead to success while the wrong decisions often lead to frustration and failure.  Good clients are usually great at referring good services to their friends or network, leading to more good clients and continued growth.  The wrong clients can mean losing money, getting frustrated, and not getting new clients without a good referral. Consider these things the next time you’re meeting with a potential client or project manager. Making sure they’re the right fit for you and your business leads to success for everyone.

		<description><![CDATA[ ComScore has just released its February search engine rankings data. And while there&#8217;s nothing new in terms of who is on top, who gained and who lost, what&#8217;s surprising about it is that among all the online properties where searches are conducted other than the five major search engines, Facebook gained a significant amount of searches in February. Yes, it seems that more search activities are happening on Facebook lately.   Facebook&#8217;s total search queries may not be that significant compared to the top search engines, but then it was only the online property which registered search query growth in February &#8211; amounting to 10%  increase from its January search market  share. Total searches conducted on Facebook was 436 million while Google got 13.5 billion search queries, Yahoo got 2.5 billion and Microsoft sites got 1.7 billion searches. In terms of Core Searches though, Facebook is nowhere near the top five search engines where Google stays on top of the pact with 65.5% of searches, Yahoo with 16.8% and Microsoft Sites with 11.5%. Both Google and Microsoft had a slight increase in search market share in February with 0.1% and 0.2% respectively. Total searches in the U.S. amounted to 14.5 billion which is a slight 5% decrease compare with data in January. Google Sites got 9.5 billion of these searches, Yahoo got 2.5 billion and Microsoft 1.7 billion. Check out the SEO Tools guide at Search Engine Journal .
