The Sphere of Influence of your Business

2009-06-19T23:46:00.000-07:00

Marketing your Small Business is all about the Impact
you make to theprospective Client.

Its a mixture of 3 elements

1)Human interaction (friends,family ,coworkers and offline networks),
2)Traditional Media (TV,Radio,Newspaper,Magazines,Direct Mail,Signage)
3)New Media.(Website,Email,Search,Blogs,SMS,Pod casts).

These 3 ingredients are important part of the marketing
activity of anybusiness and I think that the marketing
budget should be equally divided among these 3 ingredients
to achieve the right amount of leads.

No wonder these days small businesses are spending huge
amount on New MediaMarketing and lacking in Traditional
Media.Recently I received more leads by devoting more
budget to Traditional media rather then New Media.
So I would still recommend all businesses too
research thoroughly before making your decision.

Things worth thinking about are

1)The geographical location of your Marketing Campaign for example is it just inner west Sydney or whole of NSW.
2) Your Marketing Budget for example if your are small business with small budget
3)How many leads can you handle-Do you have the resources to handle more leads

having a website and not using it to your benefits is one of the key concerns which small business face.Merely getting a website because every business has one doesn't help,you need to ask yourself is your website performing ...and if you answer the following questions no then i am pretty sure it isn't

content recently?

Many business think its a big deal in updating the content of website,in fact its the easiest thing which you could do for your website,you yourself are the business and nobody knows your business better then you.just write about it.Google loves new content and you just cant imagine the power of content until you do it.More Hits to your website More customers

Blog isn't some thing technical ,any person with basic computer knowledge and flair of writing can write a blog.Blogging creates a community around your website and like minded people looking for business would appreciate that.In return people would contribute their ideas and feedback for your business.Many free blogs like blog press,word press are available which can easily be integrated to your current website.

3)Do you have a Video on your website or YouTube explaining about your business?

Videos is good blend of traditional way of promoting your business with Internet.Face value is an effective way to let your prospective customer(imagine how many prospective customers on YouTube??) know that your business is real and you know what you are talking about.

4)Does your captures emails of your visitors?

Search Engine Terms and their Meaning

2009-02-23T19:53:00.000-08:00

1)301 Redirect (permanent redirect)-Interpreted by search engine robot that the current domain is no longer valid. All links to the domain (and pagerank) are typically assigned to the site which is pointed to by the redirect. Used to amalgamate pagerank and give a single URL for a company or group of products. This redirect is implemented on the server (server-side).

2)302 Redirect (temporary redirect)-Interpreted by search engine robot that both the target domain and the current domain are temporarily valid. Use for geolocation to point country specific domains (ccTLDs) as separate listings. But note this is used for domain hijacking and as a consequence can result in sites getting penalised. This redirect is implemented on the server (server-side).

3)Accessibility-An approach to site design intended to accommodate site usage using different browsers and settings particularly required by the visually impaired.

4)‘Alt’ image tags-Graphical images that form each page can have ‘hidden text’ associated with them that is not seen by the user, but will be indexed by the search engine. This is required for accessibility compliance (screen-readers used by the blind and visually impaired, read-out the ‘alt’ tags), but is also used by the search engines to determine relevance.

5)Affiliate marketing-Typically, a commission-based arrangement where referring sites (publishers) receive a commission on sales or leads by merchants (retailers). A lead may be based on data captured during an enquiry, or it could be simply a visitor to the site (a click), in which case it overlaps with paid-search marketing.

5)Backlinks-Hyperlinks which link to a particular web page (or website). Also known as inbound-links. Google PageRank and Yahoo! WebRank are methods of enumerating this. Outbound links are the origination point of backlinks.

6)Black-hat SEO -An approach to SEO that pushes the boundaries of ethical practice. Potentially contravenes the search engine’s terms of service. High risk, high-reward approach. May gain more visitors if techniques are more effective than those of companies following an ethical, white-hat SEO approach. However, may be subject to algorithm changes.

7)Blog-A commentary on particular topics which is updated daily, weekly or monthly by an individual or a group of people.

8)Brand mis-spellings-A user mistypes a brand into the search box or into the URL address box. Best practice is to ensure the brand is visible.

9)Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)-Web page content (text body copy) is separated from code used for presentation (layout and formatting), which is stored in a separate Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) file (.css).

10)Cloaking-Showing a different version from of search engines to search robots and human visitors according to the user agent of the site visitor. Generally consider as spamming except when used to improve index inclusion, e.g. through permitting Session ids.

11)Content management system (CMS)-Software to manage the addition, review and modification of web pages on a server. Includes tools for editing and workflow.
Deep linking The search engines (or another site) take a visitor straight through to page within the site rather than the homepage.

14)Domain hijacking-Potential search visitors are directed elsewhere. The most common situation is where web domains that have expired are claimed by another owner and then used for some other purpose. It also means where the search traffic for a site is hijacked using a 302 redirect.

15)Doorway or bridge pages-An approach to SEO no longer widely used and no longer recommended due to search engine penalties. Doorway pages not connected to the remainder of the site and are optimized for a particular key phrase to entice site visitors and sometimes a specific search engine. Often used cloaking and redirected to other content.

16)Duplicate content penalty-Search engines make an assessment of duplicate content within a site or on different domains and may penalise for this if they judge duplication. Alternatively, they may simply give a higher relevance and ranking to the page with the highest link equity. Limited duplication such as print and screen versions of content should not cause a problem. You should check for duplication of your site.

17)Generic search phrase-A simple keyphrase without any qualifiers such as ‘car insurance’

19)Google “sandbox effect” -Sites which are added to the index do not peform well in terms of ranking for a period of several months. Although the existence of this effect is debated, it is evident in many cases and is clearly intended to prevent unscrupulous sites gaming the index by frequently creating new sites in order to game the index.

Basic Search Engine Optimization Tips

2009-02-12T18:25:00.000-08:00

TIP #1: Having a Title Tag is the most basic step toward search engine optimization (SEO). Think like this can you find a book without a title so how you expect the Search Engine to find your website with out one. The maximum number of characters I recommend for this Tag is 60,which is considered robot friendly.

TIP #2: Having correct Meta Tags is also the most basic step toward search engine optimization (SEO). The Meta Description and Keywords Tags is similar to the preface or back cover of a book. They are inserted into the HTML document, but are not directly visible to the human visitor. They are attention getters and help in determining the category so obviously needs to be properly optimized.
I recommended maximum number of characters for this Meta tag Description is 150 also avoid repeated keywords at least avoid repeating a word more then 5 times.

TIP #3: Meta Charset:-Browsers and many search engines use the character set specified for a document to determine how to translate the bytes in the document into characters on the screen or on paper It is now recommended to always use this Meta Tag, even with the previously-default Charest iso-8859-1. Failure to do so may cause display problems where, for instance, the document uses utf-8 punctuation characters but is displayed in ISO or ASCII Charest. For more information visit.

TIP #4: If you are not on the first page of search results, 62% of Internet users will not find you!

TIP#5: With right tools and support anyone can do optimise a website you can either pay the consultant to optimize the Website for you, or you can learn to optimize your Website yourself. More TAGS which would be worth analysing are IMG ALT Tag Keyword Density Analysis. Top Keyword Phrase Analysis.

Deadly Sins in a Website

2009-01-29T06:28:00.000-08:00

Web Development is not a science but it is becoming more and more complex, it’s no longer simply about targeting alone or injecting the consumer. It’s about understanding the consumer insight and delivery this connectivity. But as technology advances we tend to forget the basics of a website. Some of the deadly sins in a website which I have come across are

1. Dead Links (66.2%)

2. Slow loading pages (57.3%)

3. Host site in Australia if it’s an Australian Business (Australian based Servers mean fast web site load times for Australians!)

4. No site map

5. Outdated pages

6. Confusing Navigation

7. Ineffective site search tools

8. Contact us-footer on page

9. Incapability to go back

10. Unnecessary flash screens or animation

11. Text that moves

12. Music or other audio that plays automatically

13. Poor appearance, colors font format A website should depict your business in all aspects.

For example in a Restaurant website (for people doing business their way)

A website should depict colour scheme, logo, traditionally, menu/prices, guestbook, location/contact us, BYO information, ways to make a payment, delivery instruction, take away.

You should be able to get more customers through your website by online marketing techniques, email marketing, sending vouchers to your customer on their birthdays.

You are the business and if you pay for your website you would need to work harder, so the value has to be there
