Many Investors Turning to Internet Businesses

With other investing opportunities drying up and earning little to no returns, investors have recently turned their attention to online businesses. These online businesses are typically easy to operate and return higher multiples (returns) on investment. In the 90’s the hottest thing going was “flipping” homes. Investors would buy up a run down home, make cosmetic improvements to the home and quickly sell it for many times what they had invested. They would do this again and again re-investing their profits for even larger gains. unfortunately, when the real estate “bubble” burst a few years ago this technique no longer was a viable means of making money. Low Return And/Or High Risk Alternatives Interest on savings and money market accounts (if they even pay interest) are extremely low, and currently are around .5 percent – that is a one half a percent. That means a return of only $5 per year for every $1,000 invested. Many investors are shying away from the stock market due to the uncertainty of the economy. Everyone seems to have a different opinion on when and if a recovery might take place. For the average investor, the risk of losing their investment is not worth the risk of the potential gains they might achieve investing in stocks. Prices of Real Estate at the moment in most markets is down substantially from where it was just a few years ago, and the likelihood of recovery is unsure. Add to that fact that banks have tightened their lending policies making it difficult for investors to get the funds necessary to purchase real estate leave this a less than attractive investment alternative at the moment. When the real estate market is strong, and the lending/borrowing market favorable, investors can use leverage to make incredible investment returns. They usually only have to put up 5% – 20% of the real estate’s value and can control hundreds of thousands of dollars. As the value of the real estate increases their return on investment is tremendous. In the current market with home prices stagnant or even falling, the returns are just not there. Thus, in their search for money making opportunities, investors have found online businesses or websites as they are typically called. Flippa.com Is the Leader Flippa.com is the number 1 marketplace for buying and selling these online businesses. At any give time they have over 1,000 sites for sale and average over 1/2 million dollars of sales per week. They indicate that around 60% of all of the sites listed eventually sell. In addition to selling complete web sites, they also sell domain names. The other 3 popular websites where domains and websites can be found are The Digital Point Marketplace (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=52), The Warrior Forum (http://www.warriorforum.com/complete-web-sites-sale/) and ebay.com Automated Income One of the other reasons website investing is attractive to investors is the fact that websites have the ability to earn “automated income”. This means that the site makes income for the owner with no human intervention needed. Income is made through advertising sales or what are know as “affiliate links” where the website owner gets a percentage of any sales made of products that are recommended by that website. At the heart of the system is “Free Traffic” aka website visitors that are directed to the website via the top 3 search engines Google, Yahoo and Bing. When a user types their search term into these search engines the top websites are displayed, and when the user clicks on the results they are redirected to the owners website. While at the website, the visitor will click on the advertising links or order products. These websites are designed using SEO (Search Engine Optimized) techniques to “rank” (appear) on the search engines for terms related to the content and subject matter that appear on the website. The content is usually in the form of informative articles. People come to the websites looking for additional information on a subject, or perhaps even solve a problem they are having. Low Initial Investment Required One of the other aspects that are appealing to investors is the low cost of entry. In many cases, income producing websites can be found for only a few hundred dollars. This is enticing to investors as it minimizes their risk of loss. Investors can quickly recoup their investment, or, if things go bad, they have only lost a minimal amount of money. With the low cost per business it is typical for an investor to buy multiple web properties. Each of the individual web sites may not earn them a huge amount (Say $30 – $100 each per month) but if they own 10 or more the combined income can be substantial. Like any investment, investors are advised to due proper due diligence before buying any website to ensure that the claims of the seller can be verified (such as amount of traffic, source of traffic, and income claims).

The Top Three B2B SEO Recommendations to Consider

White hat search engine optimization (SEO) principles that apply to B2B online marketing also apply to B2C, but B2B is otherwise a different animal. True, to generate leads, local doctors or lawyers go after the appropriate local keywords to help their site rank well. And product pages on e-commerce sites can easily be optimized to match common keywords that users search for. But B2B online marketing involves other considerations for getting the most out of your SEO. There is much more to understand on the B2B side, so let's break it down into three major components: understanding your business cycles, incorporating different types of keywords, and using offline marketing efforts. 1. Understand your business cycles Just like the B2C buy cycle, B2B business cycles must be factored into SEO. The Sales Cycle The sales cycle begins the moment you get a sales lead. How long is it going to take to close a deal from that point? If a B2B company sells very expensive technical or complex equipment, its sales cycle is probably going to be much longer than that of a B2B company that sells office supplies. Why is the sales cycle important to SEO? It's simple: SEO is a long-term effort. If it takes six months to ramp up your SEO program, you have to wait that long, plus your sales cycle time, to be able to determine ROI. You can't kill your SEO program if you don't see immediate results; that's because it already takes time for your sales cycle to go from "new lead" to "closed." If your typical sales cycle is 12 months, it could be 18 months before you could attribute that sale to your SEO. The Conversion Cycle It's important to have good calls to action that fit your B2B sales cycle. So many B2B websites in complex industries (tech, medical, etc.) have a finite audience but do a lousy job of converting. I once worked with a client that sells high-end tech products. The company's site generates thousands of organic visitors per month, and it has a robust marketing/advertising campaign (online and offline). Its potential is incredible. However, the site's conversion is atrocious (0.01%). SEO professionals argue over whether SEO people should look at conversion rates as a measure of success. But as an SEO professional/marketer, you have to be accountable for every part of the marketing budget. Conversion is essential. A B2B site needs to be built in a way that doesn't sacrifice brand for SEO and vice versa. Sites should include contact forms, compelling calls to action, buttons linking to various action points, and so on. As an SEO professional, I deal with a fine line between what I can tell a client to do (when the client doesn't want to listen) because I have to justify my company's worth. As the adage goes, "You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." The SEO Cycle If the online audience is small, the SEO cycle might be relatively short. · Scenario 1: Your competitors dominate. It's harder to break ground and gain visibility because, though there are fewer players, they do it well. · Scenario 2: No one does a good job. Your company therefore has huge opportunities and room for growth. You need to understand the competition and their online marketing efforts to get an idea of how long it will take to do well in your industry. My dream client is a site that has been online for a long time (at least five years) and has a good trust factor with the search engines—but hasn't done any kind of SEO before. All the traffic it gets is organic and happens without the added push from SEO. If none of its competitors are actively engaging in SEO, it's amazing what can happen within the shortened SEO cycle. 2. Mix up your keywords When selecting your keywords based on page content, you want to do a mix of branded and nonbranded keywords and search terms, as well as keywords intended for demand generation. · Branded. People look for specific model numbers, spec sheets, instructions, etc. B2B companies should want customers to look online for answers to their specific needs, because doing so eliminates phone time for customer service. It's not unusual for people to go online and search a website for answers before they call. Why not have the information waiting for them? Most general inquiries can be easily answered with a Q&A section on your website. · Demand generation. Sometimes keywords belong to an industry that not many people search for, but they are essential industry keywords that a site needs to perform well for. If you develop specific keywords for your products that no one is searching for, you have the opportunity to build a whole new set of keywords that you own. For instance, HubSpot created the term "inbound marketing" and built a successful business around it. · Nonbranded. These are the highly searched, competitive, and relevant keywords that someone who has never heard of your company can use as a search perimeter and still find your company. 3. Use offline actions online Many companies fail this Marketing 101 rule: What you do offline, use online. Tradeshows, whitepapers, social networking, and so on— all your marketing efforts need to be integrated. When doing anything in marketing, try to keep the idea of SEO in the back of your brain, especially for B2B. Going to an industry tradeshow could cost you $20k for a booth so why wouldn't you want to use it in your SEO? Write and distribute an online press release about your booth at the tradeshow, bring a camera to record customers, and post them to video-sharing sites like YouTube. If someone from your company is giving a speech at the tradeshow, record and transcribe it. Then use it for your content marketing strategy: post a blog review of the conference, send your review to newsletter subscribers, and turn the PowerPoint presentation into a whitepaper. * * * B2B and B2C marketing have commonalities—and differences. Some of the rules apply, while others have to be tweaked to fit the B2B world. The same is true for SEO. You have a different set of challenges to overcome and new opportunities to take advantage of. But B2B businesses that can effectively navigate through SEO are sure to find it worth the effort and wait. Source http://www.marketingprofs.com/

How I Made It: Jim Lanzone, president of CBS Interactive

Before CBS bought his start-up Clicker, Lanzone spent much of his career helping people navigate and mine the Internet. The gig: Jim Lanzone is president of CBS Interactive, a group of news, sports, entertainment, technology and business websites that reaches more than 87 million monthly users in the U.S. He was named to the post in March when CBS Corp. acquired his start-up, Clicker Media Inc., which he describes as the TV Guide for Internet video. "When programming gets online it's not about when it's on, it's about where it's on and whether it's on," he said. Clicker tracks more than 1 million Web videos, from mainstream TV episodes and movies to online-only content such as Funny or Die's "When Harry Met Sally 2."Getting CBS clicking: The network is betting that Clicker will emerge as the place people go to figure out what to watch on their Internet-connected TVs or portable devices. Getting the hardware side on board is key, which is why "we are talking to television manufacturers and consumer electronics companies about outsourcing their navigation and discovery technology to Clicker," Lanzone said. He hopes to apply his team's search expertise to other CBS properties, such as music site Last.fm or tech news portal CNET.Why brands matter online: As long ago as 2008, it was clear that the era of Internet TV had arrived — and that this would further fragment audiences. That had two consequences, Lanzone said. It created the need for products like Clicker, which help viewers navigate seemingly infinite choices, and it underscored the value of brands. "One of the biggest [misconceptions] being thrown out now is that network or cable brands will cease to matter," Lanzone said. "That couldn't be more wrong. The truth is that people absolutely know that 'NCIS' is a CBS show, they absolutely know that 'The Daily Show' is a Comedy Central show. Brands are shortcuts, and they help people make decisions about quality."Tuning in: Lanzone is a self-described entertainment addict. He grew up watching sports with his dad and joining his mom in front of the television on Oscar night. "You'll find Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly and People at our house," he said. He's also a classic early adopter of technology, using the Internet to run his fantasy baseball league. "That website — [then] called commissioner.com, which my league has been using for almost 16 years — is owned by CBS," he said. "Now it's part of CBS Interactive."Early days: Before Clicker, Lanzone spent much of his career helping people navigate and mine the Internet. He worked for KnowX.com, one of the Internet's early providers of public-records search, and then co-founded eTour, a website that helped people discover sites that matched their interests (think of it as a predecessor of StumbleUpon). As chief executive of Ask Jeeves (now Ask.com), he is credited with turning around the search engine that was the first to let people use plain English to scour the Internet for information. That set the stage for the company's sale in 2005 to IAC/InterActiveCorp.Applying the secrets of search: Eighty-seven percent of Internet sessions today start with search engines, Lanzone said. He considers search the underpinning of many of the most important technologies on the Web, such as ad targeting and the recommendations on Netflix and Clicker. "Search engine optimization is a huge source of traffic for CBS Interactive properties and also a big source of opportunities," he said.Favorite TV show? Lanzone said his favorite show of all time was HBO's "The Wire." His favorites this season are "Shameless" on Showtime and "The Good Wife" and "How I Met Your Mother" on CBS. (It can't hurt to give props to his new boss, CBS President and CEO Leslie Moonves.)dawn.chmielewski@latimes.com Source http://www.latimes.com/

Lawyer Web Marketing: Google Takes Facebook ‘Like’ & Begins ‘+1’ Feature

(Lawyer Web Marketing News) — It’s high noon on the World Wide Web, as Google and Facebook are drawing their guns and facing off to claim dominance in social media and search engine land. The two major players on the Internet are now stepping on one another’s toes with Google’s newest announcement, which comes just after Facebook announced their own “social search” engine. Google has taken a play from Facebook’s social media play book by implementing a social search effort of their own called “+1” or “plus one,” in which users could recommend useful search results to their friends and potentially change how websites are ranked. Law firm marketers, like CEPAC lawyer marketing, are excited to embrace this new approach to obtaining new Web search engine results and recommendations as this could give lawyers who market on the Internet an added boost in visibility and consumer confidence. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) companies can relax as the new social search feature will not replace Google’s traditional search results. Websites will still be ranked based on the mathematical algorithm, which places websites in order based on relevance of the user’s search query. The social search feature will only be visible if the user is signed into their Google account while surfing the Web, otherwise Google’s traditional search results will be shown. Google’s “+1” effort will essentially allow Google account holders to publicly recommend certain websites by sharing those preferences with their Gmail contacts and their contacts other Google services. The recommended websites will appear as a highlighted item in their search engine results pages (SERP). The +1 feature also allows people to recommend a text ad that appears next to regular search results. Down the road, Google hopes to use their +1 initiative to reorder search results so that users can find more useful search engine results. So you may ask: “Why would a law firm want consumers to +1 their lawyer website?” 1) The +1 Shows Consumers Found Your Law Firm Website Helpful: Your law firm website is like a first impression for potential clients. A well-constructed lawyer website with informative content and easily accessible information will make potential clients feel that your attorneys are reputable, knowledgeable and experienced. A +1 will also indicate that a consumer found your website helpful, answered their legal questions and felt it was informative enough to endorse to their friends who may also be looking for the right attorney to hire. 2) Networking: Each time a consumer gives your lawyer website the +1, it is broadcast to their Google account contacts, which presents your law firm to an abundance of new potential clients. 3) A Vote of Confidence:The +1 is a consumer endorsement, a vote of confidence, a “they’re great, check out this law firm website” announcement. The +1 lets others know that someone they know likes your law firm, believes in your legal abilities and wants their friends and loved ones to check out your attorneys too. 4) Visibility: The networking capabilities and endorsements create exposure and awareness around your law firm, which creates new inquiries and potential new clients and cases. The days of searching the Yellow Pages are long gone, and people are now hitting the Internet, conducting educated research and exploring their options. The team at CEPAC lawyer marketing points out those personal endorsements from a user’s social group can play a powerful role in pointing people, who are looking for legal representation, in your law firm’s direction. When surfing the Web in search of an attorney, a potential client will be more inclined to visit a law firm’s website if someone they know has recommended it. The Internet advertising experts at CEPAC lawyer marketing are experienced in creating and implementing top-notch law firm websites, SEO campaigns, online advertisements, as well as more traditional marketing avenues like TV, print ads and radio.

Many Websites Look Like Zombies to Google Search

A while back I emphasized how important is to have a company website these days (Publish Your Website Or Customers Won’t Find You). I should have added that a website not optimized for search engines is lost in the heap of a billion dead websites. Unless someone searches for your company by name, it won’t show up in the first few pages of any search results. Search engines are programmed to rank websites based on their popularity and relevancy. These are subjective elements, but there are specifics that even a computer program can evaluate to set your ranking, and thus determine whether your site is alive and a good match to a specific search request. Yet recent research indicates that almost half of small business websites are still missing these basics, and thus are essentially dead to the search world. The solution is keeping your site alive and vital, and following basic search engine optimization (SEO) suggestions. Here are some high-value elements you need, if you hope to see your company on any page of results for relevant user queries: Relevant and constantly updated content. Web sites that haven’t been updated in the last couple of years can’t possibly be alive. These days, the best way to provide fresh content is to attach your blog to the website, and add new entries at least a couple of times a month. Create inbound and outbound links. Contact related web sites that are well known, to request reciprocal links. Another way to get inbound links is review other site blogs, and leave your comments with your link. Register your business in relevant directories, and sign up in all local directories. Make sure you have no dead links on your own site. Web page title tags. You need to name every page of your web site, and these names must contain your important search keywords. Check every page of your web site to make sure a title is predominantly displayed as the first line of a search result. Missing and meaningless tags will cause your site to be ignored by users, even if found. Web site keyword tags and description. These are elements, normally added by your website designer, which contain one or two sentences that briefly explain to the search engine what each web page is about. These same tags and keywords should be used liberally in each page text to give that page a higher ranking. Image attributes and sub-folder names. Search engines process every word on your web site, even optional internal names assigned to images (alt tag) and folders. Thus even internal names of website elements must be properly named (eliminate computer generated text) to amplify your search position. Reduce page load time. Eliminate flashy ads that delay entry to your site. Search engine spiders (also known as bots) take into consideration the page’s size in kilobytes. Web pages that take a long time to load will discourage search engines and human viewers alike. The usual culprit is a picture or graphic that is larger than 20 kilobytes. Completion of these tasks is not the full SEO job, but will keep your company out of the Internet dead zone. You can contract an SEO specialist at this level for a couple of thousand dollars, or you can do the work in-house, if someone on your team has some basic tools and web maintenance skills. SEO does not have to be a major expense. Another alternative is to buy your way out of the zone with Search Engine Marketing (SEM). If you give Google enough money, their search engine will put you up as a preferred provider for any search keyword you buy. That may be a quick fix, but will definitely be more costly in the long run. But the cost of doing nothing is even greater. Websites that look like the walking dead to Google search, work like no website, which means that your business will suffer. Work on a good website is never done, but there is no time like the present to wake up and get started. Source http://www.businessinsider.com/

Make money part of family discussion

Nathan Dungan, founder and president of Share Save Spend, admits that teaching kids about money "can be like drinking water from a firehose," Nathan Dungan, founder and president of Share Save Spend, admits that teaching kids about money "can be like drinking water from a firehose," given that it's such a broad topic that encompasses saving and spending, wants and needs, financial goals and more. However, he believes the earlier parents begin those conversations with their kids, the more naturally "money talk" will become part of daily family life. ¶ Since April is Financial Literacy Month, we asked Dungan, author of "Money Sanity Solutions: Linking Money + Meaning," for tips and suggestions about how to help your kids cultivate sound financial skills. Q What is your theory about giving a child an allowance? At what age? A An allowance can be a powerful teaching tool. I think you can definitely start around 5 or 6 years old. If you are intentional about giving them money -- in other words, don't give it without expectations -- it can give kids a sense of confidence, awareness and responsibility. If you just give them allowance randomly, it's not effective. Family chores are family chores, but if you have a "job jar" where kids can pick a task to do, they will value the money they've earned because they worked for it. Q Do you think it is more challenging for today's parents to teach kids about money than it was for their parents? A Society today is super-skewed toward spending and the message about sharing and saving just isn't there. I've asked elementary school kids in my workshops what they learn about spending and saving in school and the answer is generally "not much." So that means it really is on parents. If you abdicate your role to teach kids about money, the void will be filled by the culture of consumerism. Parents are the best ones to shape the narrative about money for their family. Q What are some ways for parents to integrate good financial messages into everyday life? A This isn't a topic you have to spend two hours on every day. You can build the subject into your daily family life -- going to the grocery store, conversations on how money is spent at home on items like technology, maybe talking about a family vacation. Involve your kids in those discussions. I'm often surprised by the wisdom young people have about money and I think adults can learn from that. Q Many families have been adversely affected by the economy in recent months. How can parents help kids understand a difficult financial situation? A Kids are more perceptive than we give them credit for, so to shield them completely from the family's financial problems is not helpful. At the same time, you want to make sure the conversations are age-appropriate because it is not necessary to tell them every detail. Offer messages of reassurance and tell kids that as parents, you are going to make the best decisions you can for the family. This is another opportunity to invite them into the discussion -- talk about ways the family can save money like making sure all lights are turned off when they aren't being used or eating all the food in the refrigerator and not being wasteful. Q As kids get older, they are likely to become keen observers of ways their friends spend money. Any tips on how parents can handle this? A Kids definitely enter the world of "comparonomics" and it's a game no one can win. In our consumer culture, it will always be about wanting to have more, and parents should be realistic with kids about what their family can afford. It's important to have conversations about the difference between wants and needs. Talk to your kids about what you value as a family when it comes to spending money. Encourage them to save for something that is important to them, just as the family might save for a vacation or something that matters to everyone in the family. If parents have been instilling healthy financial habits in kids throughout the years, it will definitely serve them well as they eventually become responsible for their own spending and saving. It's a lot easier to do it that way than for kids to unravel unhealthy money habits when they are in their 20s and beyond. Julie Pfitzinger is a West St. Paul freelance writer.

Google's Panda Update + Social = New Enterprise SEM Opportunities

Enterprise-level search engine optimization (SEO) campaigns must be goal-focused, yet nimble enough to jump on new opportunities that result from social media market shifts and search engine algorithm updates. Several recent noteworthy developments have created new opportunities for search engine marketers. But change also has to come from within if larger organizations want to take advantage of improving their positioning in the current search marketplace. Recent History In January, Google assured search engine marketers that it would take action against search engine spam -- scraper sites, sites with little original content, and sites that gamed its algorithm into achieving top listings for what was obviously low-quality content. In February, Google made good on its promise and delivered a new ranking algorithm designed to eradicate high rankings for scraped, replicated and interlinked low-quality websites. The algorithm eventually became known as the Panda update. Also during this timeframe, big brands like JCPenney, among others, were publicly outed and penalized in Google's search results for buying into certain types of contrived content creation and linking schemes produced by "spammers." Some enterprise-level search engine marketers cringed at the sight of such downfalls and scrambled to quickly change their link building and content creation practices. Others knew that their search engine marketing initiatives were rooted in best practices and beyond reproach from Google. Ensuring your search engine marketing team is nimble and responsive to these types of algorithm shifts is a working imperative for enterprise-level organizations. While one door closed for those companies that bowed under the pressures of securing quick results with risk-riddled tactics, another door opened for those enterprises that are capable for joining forces across different business and marketing disciplines and work together to continually invest in earning high-quality back links to their collective works of unique, original and timely content. Social Time Zones Like the old saying goes, "timing is everything." This is especially true now for enterprise-level search engine marketers. Also in February, Google announced it would begin integrating information from social networking sites, such Twitter, Flickr, and Quora, into its web search algorithms. Bing's search results are also under the influence of social networking data from Twitter and Facebook for friend-liked results. And, as of April, Gmail users and their "friends" who are logged in to Google -- an estimated 20 percent of the U.S. market -- can see what other friends label as +1 in their search results, be it paid or earned. From a search marketer's perspective, the introduction of social content being used as a factor for producing relevant search rankings assuages the importance of producing timely content and branded messaging around trending memes and themes. Enterprises that are still hung up on controlling the messages made through social networks rather than focusing on participating in the conversation need to break down operational business boundaries and change their online marketing ways. No, you don't have to shoot all the lawyers, but you do need to ensure that your search engine marketing team is unencumbered by content approval processes. While timeliness is a key opportunity for big brands, savvy search engine marketers realize that all these recent developments add up to new opportunities to improve their overall online visibility. In this case, search engine marketers can "double down" on improving a brand's overall search engine visibility when they simply work to unite social media marketing initiatives with link building campaigns. In Conclusion Google has said that its search algorithm uses more than 200 signals. Not to be outdone, Bing has said that its search algorithm analyzes at more than 1,000 signals. The elimination of link farms and content scrapers, along with the introduction of prominent temporal signals from authoritative social media networks, have combined to create new opportunities for enterprise-level search engine marketers -- especially when it comes to link building programs. Just remember that anything worth doing is worth measuring. Setting up a centralized dashboard is a working imperative if online marketers are to fulfill business goals, while tearing down barriers built around more traditional business and marketing disciplines.

Content Marketing is NOT the new SEO

“So this content marketing is the new shiny marketing toy, and it replaces SEO, the old and not-so-shiny marketing toy?” Those are words – uttered earlier this week – from someone who ought to know better. My answer? No, content marketing is not all that new and shiny, and no, it certainly does not replace SEO. It’s far bigger, broader, and all-encompassing than SEO. I love SEO. It has a place in every marketing plan we put together. Its impact, if done well, can be business-changing. The people that do SEO the right way – I am talking about the real experts – are invaluable. But it’s merely a piece of content marketing. A very important one, but just a piece. Look no further than the name. SEO, or search engine optimization, focuses on search engines. If Google were to go away (the probability of that scenario is .000001%), and no search engine replaced its consumer utility, what would happen with SEO? Content marketing, on the other hand, focuses on…well, marketing. Every piece of it. Content marketing does not focus on one single property, or even a set of properties. It’s online, and it’s offline. If Google goes away, content marketing stays. There is a reason why Google’s most recent “Farmer” algorithm update targeted sites compiling large amounts of low-quality or useless content. Those content farms were using that low-quality content as an SEO tactic only. That questionable content, with its SEO value removed, has no value. Which properties have benefitted from the algorithm update? According to a blog post from Googlers Amit Singhal and Matt Cutts, “sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on.” Imagine that. Original content and thoughtful analysis are back in vogue. Same as it ever was? Want to learn more?

Is a Little Shine Coming Off the In-House SEO Model?

The recent 2011 annual report from SEMPO (Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization) and Econsultancy gives some data that can make one wonder a bit. The survey is of mostly North American companies and agencies in the search game. The question I have is about the use (or dare I say popularity) of the in-house SEO model. In-house SEO’s are just that: staffers on a company payroll that have the job of search engine optimization for an organization’s particular needs. SEO agencies ran the show for the start of the SEO era but as more and more people became skilled in the SEO arts more companies decided to bring that function in house. The chart below, however, shows the cycle might be possibly changing again. The number of companies polled using less than 10% of their SEO budgets for agencies (which is virtually a complete in-house play) dropped from 62% to 50% from 2010 to 2011. So does this mean that the in-house model is dead? Not by a long shot but it could indicate that the cost of carrying an in-house team has been a focus of cost conscious companies during the recent economic times. Companies may be willing to give up a lot of control (and many would argue quality) by going back to agencies because carrying pay rolled employees is bigger than just a salary and supplies. Most companies add at least 35% of an employee’s total salary to get the total cost of carrying that person with the extra money representing benefits etc. Marketing Pilgrim’s SEO Channel is sponsored by SEOmoz, the leading provider of SEO tools and resources. Take a 30-day free trial, and see why over 10,000 marketers currently use SEOmoz PRO Everything in life and business is cyclical so maybe this is just the natural order of the SEO game. We really have so little history of the industry to make any conclusions about how these cycles might play out but in the hyper accelerated world of the Internet maybe we are there already. One other thing the report pointed out is what SEO’s of all stripes consider to be important with regard to doing their jobs. The rise of the mobile net is on the mind of the most search marketers with nearly 80% saying it is significant to their efforts. The biggest ‘non-issue’? The Bingahoo alliance with 55% of the respondents saying that it was not significant to them. Looks like Bing has their work cut out for them. So what is your take on the in-house SEO vs agency issue? Is the cost of the in-house play worth the return one can get from having dedicated resources for the mission critical SEO play? Should a company look at just the cost of having staff or should they be a bit more discerning about what the value is as opposed to just the expense? Is it that maybe in-house teams aren’t returning the results that were promised? Is it that the sample for the study is not representative (in your opinion)? Source http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/

Search Engine Optimization and Paid Search: What Should Your Philosophy Be?

company, we are often asked by clients and prospects if there's a basic philosophy when it comes to organic search engine optimization and paid search advertising. "Is one tactic more favorable than another? How do I know which channel to pursue? Should I do both?" Without a hard look at your company's goals and unique situation, there really isn't a concrete answer to these questions. The true test of pursuing either an SEO campaign or PPC advertising (or both) is knowing that it all boils down to your company philosophy, ROI objectives, budget, and countless other monetary and marketing factors. To determine which, or what combination of both, might offer the most bang for your buck, let's examine five types of "models" that my search engine marketing company often deals with. 1. SEO Only. Some clients are strictly interested in kicking off an SEO campaign, usually for a few basic reasons. They often have tried pay-per-click and decided it didn't work, so they aren't interested in trying it again in the foreseeable future (whether the initial campaign was set up effectively and the channel should be revisited is a subject for future discussion). They also often feel that since they themselves ignore PPC ads on the right hand side of the page, everyone else must do the same. While there's nothing inherently wrong with pursuing search engine optimization exclusively, it can take awhile to achieve rankings for competitive, profitable keyphrases, and there's simply no way for your search engine marketing company to accurately predict (as they probably can with some degree of accuracy with PPC advertising) exactly what the initial results will be, and precisely when they will appear. However, for companies which do not have an immediate sense of urgency in their online marketing initiatives and who for whatever reason do not want to pursue PPC, organic SEO still offers a great, albeit slightly delayed, return on investment. 2. PPC Only. Alternatively, a search engine marketing company may encounter the clients who are primarily interested in PPC ... and nothing else. Even with a limited spend, clients can turn their campaigns on and off as needed, making market segments easier to control than with an SEO campaign. Pay-per-click also allows clients to achieve a somewhat predictable ROI if the campaign is managed effectively: "If I spend X, I'll get back Y." The clients that fall within the 'PPC advertising only' category may have worked with a search engine marketing company before, pursuing SEO exclusively, and achieved less than stellar results. Despite all the positive press hyping up what search engine optimization can do for website visibility in recent years, it still tends to be viewed as more voodoo than science by most companies pursuing online marketing for the first time. With such companies, organic SEO is usually a topic we broach after achieving success with PPC. 3. SEO with PPC Stopgap. The first and most common question a search engine marketing company may hear concerning an SEO campaign is how long it will take to achieve results. Naturally, clients want to be able to see the investment almost immediately. This is where the PPC stopgap approach comes in. Though a client's budget is usually fixed, they are often willing to spend a little more on the front end to see immediate results. Once positive results are evident, PPC spending is scaled back as SEO takes hold. An advantage of this approach to clients with limited budgets is that it can be managed on a very granular level. When top organic results are achieved for a given keyphrase, PPC bidding for that term can cease. Over time, PPC expenditures can theoretically be eliminated entirely. This model appeals to those who want a wide range of coverage and immediate results but have a fixed monthly budget that they do not control. 4. Hybrid Model. A hybrid model is similar to a stopgap model, except that the client has no intention of eventually leaving the PPC arena entirely. Rather, the client has their search engine marketing company do a full on optimization AND paid search campaign at the outset, with the expectation that PPC costs will be reduced but not eliminated as the organic campaign takes hold. In this model, a client recognizes that in an organic SEO campaign, they will be limited in the number of keyphrases that they can target by the amount of real estate on their website. With a PPC campaign, however, there is no downside to targeting thousands upon thousands of relevant "long tail" keyphrases, that is, search terms that are comprised of longer strings of words. Using the hybrid model, a company removes keyphrases from the PPC campaign on a granular level as they achieve top organic results for those phrases, but continue to bid on keyphrases that the site does not currently target. 5. Full Out SEM. This approach calls for both SEO and PPC initiatives running at full speed. These types of clients are generally those that consider these two efforts as separate 'beasts' and frankly believe that showing up highly in both channels is a good thing ... as long as the return justifies the spend. These clients are happy to spend as much as possible with with their search engine marketing company and do not usually have a set marketing budget - just strict ROI objectives. As long as each channel is performing within acceptable ranges, they are happy to reap the benefits. Generally, they treat the two disciplines as unique channels and monitor the results independently. Choosing the Right Model Which approach is right? It depends (you weren't expecting a definitive answer, right?). The decision between SEO efforts vs. PPC advertising depends on means, goals, budget, comfort level, corporate restrictions, and many other elements. Keep in mind that these are only five possible models that we often encounter. Many clients do not fit neatly into any of these scenarios. Some clients may start out with one option and evolve into another. Some switch back and forth depending on their own ever-changing situation. The most important thing is to be aware of your options and pursue a path that fits your current goals. Source http://webcast.broadcastnewsroom.com/

SEO For Lawyers- Has Search Engine Evolution Gone Too Far?

Lawyer marketing professionals have for a long time known that the Internet has replaced the Yellow Pages as the go-to source for consumers looking to research and hire an attorney. The evolution of the search engines has been both incredible and frustrating to searchers, as more and more marketers, for the legal category and other goods and services, focus all of their efforts on getting to the top of the natural search pages. Incredible because of all of the available information and content and frustrating because some potentially valuable information has become buried several pages down in the search results. In the beginning, research on the Internet was less sophisticated and finding the information you were searching for was a challenge. As the web matured and the algorithms used by Google and other search engines became more discerning and powerful, it became possible to become nearly an expert on almost any topic in a very short time by using Google for research. If that subject pertained to information needed by a consumer seeking legal guidance and quality content was provided by lawyer marketing efforts, it was easily found. As the Internet and search has evolved both technologically and economically, the competition has heated up in the fight for the top positions on the search engine results pages (SERPS). In years past, Googling a topic, like car accident lawyer, meant finding results and in many cases, locating several lawyers marketing your geographic area. As the competition for Internet real estate has heated up, and clever marketers have learned how to “game” the search engines, more and more junk websites, known as web spam, have made their way to the top of the results page, squeezing out more relevant results. Some of these sites are content farms that have taken advantage of the search engine’s affinity for back links and key word intensive pages. The content may not be that useful, but still appear high in the search results. The key question is how does this behavior impact lawyer marketing on the web and search engine optimization for lawyers. Some lawyer SEO professionals might be tempted to take this “black hat” approach to enhance their results. That is a shortsighted view and although it may help lawyer marketing efforts in the short run, ultimately as Google and the other search engines adjust their algorithms to favor less repetition and content duplicated from other sites to help alleviate the problem, there will be a penalty to pay. Law firms should always rely on lawyer marketing firms that provide ethical SEO for lawyers and rely on Google’s guidelines to ensure that over the long haul, the law firm websites they market obtain and maintain their rankings. Google has always attempted to stop the gaming and unethical attempts to increase rankings. High quality relevant content and great user experiences will always win in the rankings.

Google’s Algorithm Officially Integrates User Feedback

Everywhere you look in search engine optimization sites, the word of the day seems to be “Panda.” Or, if you prefer, “Farmer” – since the two monikers both describe the major Google algorithm that was implemented to fight off spam. While everyone is eager to figure out how to avoid being flagged as a spam site, another major element of SEO has just been made official: user feedback is a recognized signal in Google’s search algorithm. This isn’t exactly unexpected. After all, Google representatives have been saying for several months that user feedback, including on social networks, would be examined for its potential uses in search. Additionally, the Google “+1″ button released serves an almost identical function by allowing users to state, clearly and simply, which sites they like. Even further, Google’s “block site” feature allows users to point out pages that seem to be spam. Each of these services had an ambiguous impact on SEO. The +1 or promoted social search features, for example, certainly did impact the results your connected friends saw – but did it impact the site’s rank overall? Would it with enough +1s or other promotions? Similarly, while the “block site” feature didn’t originally impact search directly, how would that data be used? That’s all been cleared up with a simple statement in the global rollout of Panda: “We’ve also incorporated new user feedback signals to help people find better search results.” Of course, exactly how much will be impacted by these signals, how quickly shady optimizers will start trying to game this feedback, and what precautions Google is taking against false positives in feedback are all unknown.

Ad Tech 2011 Panel On SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Now, it's 12:11 PM, and this Ad Tech 2011 Convention Panel is about that ever-changing field of SEO or Seach Engine Optimization. (A panel just before Guy Kawasaki's talk about "The Art Of Engagement.) The panel speakers are Melanie Mitchell, Senior VP, Search Strategy Digitas, and presenters Lee Odden, CEO, TopRank, Rob Snell, Managing Partner Snell Brothers Consulting (who talks about "Redneck SEO" ....Geez, but it's actually a pretty good and funny presentation), and Simon Heseltine, Director, AOL. Yeah, that AOL that purchased The Huffington Post. Cool that AOL is in the house. What's interesting about the panel is that marketers, and digital marketers are in this room, but the people who really need to be here, but are not, are journalists and Old Media publishers. Everything that's being talked about here: basically how to use search and make a website to make sure people find your product - is relevant to an industry that's suffering in this area and is under the weird idea that paywalls will save them. Some interesting notes: 1) the SERP - search results - have changed, and because there's so much more kinds of data that's presented. 2) SEO is now combined with Social Media Optimization (SEO). 3) A lot of people invest in SEO, and marketers get the benefit. 4) Panel preaches what I've said again and again: you have to be multi-platform: on blogs, video, micro-blogging platforms, photo-sharing platforms, and so on. I call it "dropping the nuke." Just make sure the nuke, your content and the platforms, is large enough to really be a nuke. 5) Make sure your training your people in this stuff. The basic message is "optimize content." What's content? Well, if you're a writer, you should know: you make it. Source http://www.sfgate.com/

Behaviour can be learned!

10 DECEMBER

Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov today received the Nobel Prize for his research into how the digestive system works. His experiments, which he carried out on dogs, have shown that nerve messages transmitted from the brain play a part in the digestion of our food. Scientists however are more excited by what Pavlov calls his ''conditioned reflex'' experiments, which may be of major importance for understanding how we learn. Pavlov has found that if a bell is runf each time a dog is fed it will eventually salivate when it hears the sound of a bell alone, even if no food is visible. If the same is true of humans, it suggests that kinds of behaviour can be learned, just like any other skill.
