Latest trends in online marketing, with reference to top performing sites

admin — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:47:20 +0000

According to a recent report in 2011, 75% of the best performing sites are using social channels such as Facebook and Twitter to communicate with their customers. This trend is more visible with the smaller companies with lower marketing budget, as marketing on social media is cheaper and yield faster results. Though it was proved that every eight out of ten extremely successful sites were using social media sites, the best campaigns were those where the content was posted regularly and according to relevancy considerations.
So any site not adhering to either of the two i.e. relevancy and regularity cannot perform as good as the top performing sites. Email marketing was reported to be another major technique used by the most successful websites and more than 90% sites used to send newsletters to their prospects and the users. You can also have a specific design with excellent copywriting for your email to impress the masses. Your Internet Marketing Promotion company can implement successful email marketing as well as social media marketing campaigns.

Can we really measure social media marketing performance?

admin — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:48:50 +0000

People attend various seminars on social media marketing, getting hundreds of tools preached and prescribed. But still there is no way that you can determine the monetary value of a “like” on Facebook, because the entire social media is still in its infancy. From the previous experience one can say that it succeeds only in case of businesses with a high turnover of customers, volumes of interaction and exchange of comments and ideas, and once these chunks of information are put to use for strategic and tactical marketing decisions.

Though there are number of social marketing strategists, still there is little evidence of any concrete method or defined social media path that can ensure the success of your business. As marketers, we are entitled to deliver measurable results, but we lack any such procedure till date if we just create a Facebook or Twitter account and business page and start posting the interesting information. First of all, with utter lack of knowledge about your target audience, you cannot make sure that your users on social media sites are actually your prospects or customers.

Many a people actually use internet less often and they do not even use social media that frequently. So we can simply say that your Twitter followers are not your business conversions. What is needed primarily is to know who actually is a potential customer and analyze feedbacks deeply to form your opinion about your future marketing campaigns. A website development company can undertake all your social media analysis and marketing tasks.

Facebook, inclined to enter in direct competition with GMail

admin — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:52:11 +0000

Facebook has become such a huge platform of social networking that everyone is turning towards it. It is attracting almost every age group in society because of its various applications. Everyone knows that to remain connected globally is very important if one wants to become an active social person. And social networking websites such as Yahoo, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, Orkut etc. have proved successful unexpectedly but Facebook is leading among all due to its world-wide popularity and high number of followers.

There was only e-mail service which was not a part of Facebook but it is not a phenomenon far behind now from the reach of its users as it is heard that it is going to divulge its webmail services very soon.

E mail is a great source of communication in today’s world. Facebook is now on the verge of adding this service to its current profile. More extensively, the offering could lead to an elemental transformation of email services because of reason being, the peculiar ideas which Facebook always brings. It has been observed that Google and Microsoft were already scuttling to reimplement and reconsider their email services to build them more effective and useful among people for social networking and communication but it is to be seen now that what Facebook has to offer to its users. So it is still to be known whether Facebook will be able to meet the expectations of its users or not and to compete or lead with webmail giant Google’s Gmail which is the main source of communication and social activity in the universe of Google.

One great benefit of add on of e-mail services to Facebook would be that people won’t be in need to check their Facebook accounts and e-mail accounts separately when they will be getting both features simultaneously in Facebook. In many ways Facebook would create a big difference for its users by introducing its e-mail service but how effective and useful would that be, it is to be gauged once it is officially launched.

Information over sharing on Social Networks

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:38:52 +0000

People don’t mind sharing even personal information over the internet, particularly on the Social Networking sites these days in sharp contrast to previous times where Email ids were created using fake names. The initial urge to protect privacy in terms of communicating personal details has gone down in the past few years leading to the emergence of an “Age of Oversharing”.

Impact

The need to share information with others is understood but today’s tech savvy generation, under the pretext of staying connected, makes available a lot of vital information online that can be accessed by anti-social elements. Though it is good to maintain constant contact with those who matter and keep them updated about your whereabouts but it is also necessary to ensure that it is not being used for some harmful purpose. This has become major concern with Privacy Experts these days.

Location based Social Networking and issues

Social Networks like Twitter, Facebook, Orkut, etc are the convenient platforms where the users can share a great deal of personal information, even that of their location. There are Location based social networking sites that allow users to disclose their exact geographical location.

Adverse Implications of Oversharing

The disclosure about the daily routine, place of stay and activities that one does is an open invitation to criminals, burglars to stalk you. It provides them an easy opportunity to keep a track of your life and plan some criminal action. To say for example, if a person has updated his/her online profile saying, “Out on a holiday”, then a criminal can make use of this information to execute the robbery plans. Similarly there are several other things that one becomes prone to by excess revelation of information.

Photos too can be tacked

Forget about the Location specific social networking, the photos clicked using the smart phones and uploaded on the sites can be used to gain information about your location.

Inference

Experts opine that people in their efforts to socialize often cross the boundary line between what to share and what not to share without realizing. They share information to follow the trend and in the process forget that privacy needs to be maintained to ensure safety.

It is therefore advisable to make use of Privacy settings to regulate access to your personal information.

Securing Brand Image with Online Reputation Management

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:49:55 +0000

It may take several years to establish a strong Brand Image but just a few negative words can destroy it within a short time. Such is the threat that organizations are facing for their Brands in the online world today with the emergence of Consumer Generated Media (CGM) which include Blogs, Forums, Social networking sites, Review sites and other online means by way of which general public can express its views about a company, products or services, issues, etc.

Given that now consumers can voice their thoughts online it becomes imperative for an organization to keep an eye on what is being said about it. This need to monitor the online content has led companies to adopt Online Reputation Management (ORM).

Why ORM?

It is a known fact that people often collect information related to products and services online before making their decisions. They gather all relevant information to make an informed decision. So if search engines display positive information an organization can reap multiple benefits like high traffic and conversion rate. But even a small piece of negative content about the company or products can tarnish the Brand Image and do irreparable damages to its corporate image. Online Reputation Management thus comes in handy to safeguard the online reputation of the firm by managing the content on user generated online media.

ORM consists of:

MONITORING of CGM, that is, Social networks like Orkut, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Discussion Forums, Review Sites, Social Bookmarking Sites
THROUGH Tools of Google Alerts, BoardTracker, Brandseye, Trackur, MonitorThis along with other Blog Monitoring, Twitter monitoring & Link monitoring Tools
TRACKING the negative websites and content &
SUPPLYING the optimized content with latest and relevant information to keep consumers updated with the current happenings.

If an organization does the same and effectively make use of Online Reputation Management, it can definitely secure its Brand Image.

Search Engine Reputation Management

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 07:21:39 +0000

It is quite common that organizations doing their business online would like to drive huge amount of traffic to their website in order to generate business leads and adopt all the means to achieve the same. But what is bothering them nowadays is protecting their online reputation or brand image from any harm. The threat to their reputation comes from the emergence of consumer generated media like blogs, reviews, forums, ratings and Competitors’ blogs where a small amount of wrong or negative information can greatly affect their company image.

To avoid any damage online marketers adopt Search Engine Reputation Management which combines the use of Search Engine Optimization techniques and online reputation management. It concentrates its effort in optimizing the website with accurate keywords and well-developed dynamic content as is done in SEO and at the same time tracking the sources of harmful content.

Search Engine Reputation Management emphasizes a lot on managing the content as it the most important aspect of a website along with keywords, links, design & user-friendliness. As the people look for all types of information on Search engines, it is necessary to have a favorable reputation among the various search engines to top the search engine result pages.

With expanding social media network, review sites, blogs & forums, an organization can obtain valuable feedback from its customers and thus monitor its reputation. Search Engine Reputation Management takes care of this aspect as well as it has the potential to affect search engine ranking.

Understanding the Google’s PageRank

admin — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:05:44 +0000

To determine the importance of a web page, Google uses a link analysis algorithm and assigns a numerical value to it ranging from 0-10. A PageRank of value (10) is the highest while (0) is the lowest rank that a web page can get. This is the basic and simplest definition of Google’s PageRank which otherwise involves a set procedure of calculation. PageRank is significant as it shows the importance of a page in search results.
Calculation of PageRank:
In order to calculate Page Rank, Google takes into account all the inbound links to a website and include links within the site as well as those links coming from outside. It takes each link as a vote or support to the site. If a page has a high number of votes, the relative importance of the page becomes high. But one thing which must be noted is that Google considers only quality links to the site and may impose penalty if it finds any deviation. A PageRank is generally calculated using the following equation:
PR (A) = (1-d) + d (PR (T1) / C (T1) + … + PR (Tn) / C (Tn))
Where,
PR (A) = PageRank of the site A,
PR (Ti) = PageRank of these pages with a link to the page
C (Ti) = number of outbound links on the page and Ti
D = factor in the depreciation can be set between 0 and 1
As a high PageRank increases the favorability on search results, so optimizers adopt several means to achieve a suitable PageRank, some of which are acceptable and some unacceptable to search engine Google.
Ethical Ways of improving PageRank
Content- If a website has a good and quality content; it is bound to be successful. Google gives much importance to this factor and ranks accordingly. So efforts should be directed towards developing relevant & user-friendly content using the relevant keywords in appropriate quantity. If all these are fulfilled, a page is sure to get a high rank.
Back Links- Google duly considers as to how a site is important for other sites implying, on the basis of back links, Google will decide its PageRank. Substantial quality links from relevant sites will help in gaining a good PageRank.
Use Social Media Tools- Develop links to various relevant Blogs and Forums as they offer get high visibility and Google takes them favorably. Creation of Blogs and Blog posts have become popular means of attracting visitors.

Web Directories and Reference Sites- It is advantageous to link the site to several web directories and reference sites to improve your rank
Unethical Ways of Improving PageRank
Buying and Selling of Links- To improve PageRank, webmasters often indulge in the wrong practice of selling or buying links of high PageRank sites which is strictly prohibited by Google.
Keywords Stuffing- In order to increase the relevancy of the sites for search engine result pages, webmasters often bombard the pages with excess keywords in its content. The technique may yield results for a short time but Google is smart enough to check this
Doorway Pages- This involves the creation of fake pages intended to trick search engine spiders to index the site and give it a high rank
Link Farming- Link farming is another unethical way to improve rank. Here webmasters create link farms or web pages which consist of irrelevant links in large quantity to attract search engines which often rank on the basis of number of links. But Google takes them as Spam and gives (0) ranking.

Local Search and its significance

admin — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:27:50 +0000

Local search has occupied a considerable part in the search category of major search engines. With each passing day, the size of local searches made is growing rapidly. To fully understand its implication, let us first understand what a Local Search is.

A local search is made when a user looks out for specific information which is related to his/her local surroundings and where he wants a detailed description. It has led to the emergence of local search engines which contain the listings of various local businesses operating in a particular location. The local search engines contain a huge database of businesses and present it before the user when searched for.

Business firms benefit from Local Search as they can list their names, address, products or service category and contact details on local search engines and get noticed if a user searches with keywords related to their business. At the same time, it can direct the users to their company’s website. So the importance of local search comes from the fact that after appearing on local search engines, organizations can ultimately made their way to major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Top Tips From The Internet Marketing Experts

admin — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 12:33:23 +0000

1. Consider cloud marketing.
Cloud marketing is the best internet marketing
solution for the current economy. It combines traditional marketing with software as a service (SAAS). By placing all of your marketing assets (product info, training, whitepapers, promotion info) online — in “the cloud” — you make them available to an unlimited number of your partners, all at one low cost.
This means your channel partners and your sales team all have instant access to your most current marketing content and ensures that you have message consistency across all your sales channels.
Cloud marketing minimizes the cost to help every partner become a better marketer of your products. Plus, companies who help their entire channel network become better marketers will be in position to take market share from short sighted vendors who react to reduced budgets by focusing on just their top selling partners.
2. Empower your sales channel.
Whether you use channel partners or an inside sales team, now is the time to make sure they have the tools they need to succeed. Use your partners’ Web sites or create individual micro-sites for each member of your sales team. These sites are a cost-effective alternative to buying banner ads to promote your sales campaigns and promotions. It’s like having customized, dynamic billboards that you can change at will and at no extra cost.
3. Maximize your marketing assets.
Don’t spend money to reinvent the wheel. Take inventory of all of your marketing assets. Remove any outdated or inconsistent material from circulation. Then, find ways to use what you have in other marketing channels.
Do you have killer customer quotes from a past direct mailer? Make sure to get them up on your partner/sales Web sites. Or use them in a low-cost e-mail campaign to new leads.

Pricing Models Of SEO Companies

admin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:32:45 +0000

SEO providers come in all shapes and sizes. We often have potential clients come to me price shopping. They are not comparing our services with our competitors, but they are comparing our pricing with our competitors. In that battle we lose almost every time, and the reason for that is because there is always an “SEO” company that will work for less. With SEO company India, however, you usually get what you pay for. If you want a cheap service, you’ll get cheap results.

“But isn’t SEO all about top rankings? If firm X can provide top rankings for less, shouldn’t I go with them?” This is standard fare from bargain shoppers, but the basic questions to ask yourself is this: do you want top rankings or do you want more business? Most SEO companies are in the business of achieving top rankings and everything else is not their problem. Even still, it is rare to find inexpensive outsource SEO services that can achieve top rankings for competitive, high ROI terms, maintain those top rankings through constant algorithm changes, and continue to beat out your competition which are optimizing for the same keyword phrases.

If you’re paying someone only a few hundred or even just a few thousand dollars each year to work on your site, how many man-hours do you really think they are giving you each month? When your site gets dropped or rankings mysteriously crash, how much time do they spend trying to find potential issues and problems? Even the best sites-and those optimized by the best SEOs in the world-can suddenly disappear from the search engines. Sometimes it’s a temporary issue, sometimes it’s because of something the client did, and sometimes it’s due to other external factors. Whatever the reason, the SEO needs to thoroughly investigate so the issue can be corrected.
