Your Marketing Sucks!

OK before you hit the un-subscribe button and hate me or even swear. Just humour me for 10 minutes and don't miss our new Manitoba1000 members below it's a hatrick I am featuring this week and we have many more new members already but you will only give me 10 minutes of your time so I kept it to 3 for this week.

Why does your marketing suck?

Unless your marketing budget and results are measured by RIO and it's making you money not costing you it SUCKS!

Marketing means ROI full stop.

So many times I hear business owners tell me I have a friend of a friend who does website design. Great but will he or she make you money. Do they understand a balance sheet, cash flow or how important making new sales is. No but you get sold on the we can do a nice design it will look nice and fluffy.

Here is another classic I have been challenged with a few times, Neil you didn't focus on design in your presentation. The company after you talked so much about design. Website Designs alone do not make your business money when it comes to the Internet. Winning awards against my peers will not make your business marketing budget effective.

Don't get me wrong the design of a website, brochure or any marketing material has to match the brand expectations but next time you get a marketer/advertiser selling you something ask them - will you make money? We all know what the answer will be.

Would you install a telephone line that might work, or buy a mobile that might work? No, so why even consider a website or marketing strategy for your business that won't make you money.

The Internet is and will remain your most valuable company asset for new sales. If your website or even your marketing is not giving you a ROI it SUCKS!

Put Manitoba1000 to the challenge. We promise to provide you a RIO. In English we will make you money over and beyond what you spend with us to manage your Internet marketing!

A new avenue opens up for brand advertisers in Winnipeg and Portland to reach virtually everyone online

Advertising exchanges have been termed as the idea for the future though they currently only account for 10 to 15 percent of the overall display advertising business.

Analysts state Google’s strong push could well shake up the market. Its new system integrated with DoubleClick ad exchange will automatically let hundreds of thousands of publishers and advertisers, who now make use of

Google’s AdWords as well as AdSense systems, run their ads and ad space more profitably through the exchange. It should let brand advertisers execute ambitious campaigns, to reach virtually everyone online. Here’s how Advertising exchanges operate:

• When an individual seeks a Web page from a site joining the exchange, the publisher will notify the exchange about space available on that page.

• It might also allow the exchange to know more about that person, on basis of past activity or shopping habits.

• Advertisers then bid on the ad space.

• The winner’s ad gets slotted into the page.

The whole process takes place in no time. Some industry experts feel the DoubleClick exchange will provide advertisers with greater flexibility. It will let marketers aim their ads at specific types of customers and to purchase one ad spot (impression) at a time.

Google lags behind Yahoo both in display ads and in ad exchanges. The latter bought a pioneering ad exchange, Right Media, in 2007. Its business has steadily grown since, in part because most ads, which run on it, are brokered through the ad exchange.

Yahoo welcomed the competition, expressing confidence in its own capabilities and ability to innovate. In fact, other exchange operators could gain from Google’s success, as more publishers and advertisers get used to selling and buying ads through exchanges, expanding the market. This indeed is a great avenue for brand advertisers in Winnipeg and Portland to reach virtually everyone online.

Tips for businesses in Winnipeg and Portland to make their sites search engine friendly

Each business in Winnipeg and Portland has its own unique facet, special ability, and domain expertise. In an effort to capture its core from the search engine perspective, every business owner will probably think of numerous words.

It is important to select keywords carefully, spread them judiciously and use them wisely across the website. The keywords most critical to your site should be there in ‘meta title’ of each of your pages’. The ‘meta title’, as you would be aware, appears at the top of the browser window, just above the menu bar.

The keywords should regularly surface throughout the landing page, or opening Web page. They should frequently appear in the opening paragraph. However, the temptation to overuse keywords should be avoided. The practice known as keyword stuffing can be spotted by search engines. They will immediately penalize your site and reduce its rankings.

An array of tools is available to work out optimal keyword density. We advise website owners to desist from using software, which writes the site’s pages because search engines can easily sniff them out.

Here’s another of the SEO golden rule: Never compromise on content quality for random keyword placement. This will not only harm affect the content flow, but also have a negative impact on your Web page rankings.

If your site lacks qualitative content, it won’t attract visitors irrespective of SEO and keyword selection strategies. Ideally, the tricky task is better left to experts, who will work out the best approach. They would pick a permutation and combination of different ‘searchable’ words for different Web pages even while maintaining the content quality.

What are the attributes of a competent SEO specialist?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a continual process that demands full-time attention coupled with diverse skills and meticulous approach. Considering intricacies of SEO related tasks, it makes sense for companies in Portland and Winnipeg to consider outsourcing it to a specialist.

Unfortunately, many firms in Manitoba and elsewhere, as our experience goes to show, waste their precious time and energy by trying to implement wrong SEO techniques in-house. A few others fail owing to incorrect choice of SEO experts. Remember, bad SEO can be more harmful than no SEO so it’s vital to locate the right resource that will effectively optimize your website.

In this context, it is important to consider some of the virtues of a truly competent SEO expert:
• First and foremost, before implementing SEO strategies, it will carry a thorough review of your website. This involves checking of specific SEO elements it may be lacking. A meticulous SEO service provider analyzes both the on and off page SEO elements.

• A complete package comprises identification of accurate keywords, recommendation of suitable changes to website copy, and a plan to obtain back links. Other tasks that form part of a holistic SEO service are locating unique titles and meta tags, modifying internal linkage, and rewriting URLs.

• A competent SEO consultant carries an audit of your website to work out whether it has adhered to the SEO related factors, which affect their search engine display and rankings. It offers full-fledged services that are in compliance with no-spam policies of leading search engines.

• Once your site is fully optimized, it also needs to be submitted to different directories and start building array of links pointing to site. After keywords have been identified and pages have been submitted, the specialists also monitor results regularly to fine-tune the SEO strategy.

In essence, a customer-friendly SEO strives to deliver results that exceed your expectations.
