Posted by Krysti 4 Nov, 2009

There are a lot of great keyword tools out there to choose from. Find out the best Free keyword tools that you can get started with today.

sniffout-keywords-for-ppc-imageKeywords represent the “gas” in the tank for your Google Adwords campaigns. So where do you go to fill up the tank? Where can you find the premium keywords?

Well, there are 4 free tools that I use and love for keyword research and like I just said, they’re all free. The first tool is the…wait, drum roll please… Google.com. So, you want to go to Google.com and type a seed keyword into the search box but don’t finish typing the word. When you do this Google will auto populate a list of words that will display under the word you were just typing. This list shows you exactly what people are searching for. And always remember, the list is in order of popularity.  Jot down all of the relevant keyword terms that are relevant to you, your business or what ever you’re promoting.

The next tool is Google Insights, and the purpose of Insights is to deliver data about keyword trends. You get to see how the keyword has performed over time, the future projections and you’ll also see breakout keywords. Breakout keywords are great targets for your pay-per-click campaigns. And be sure to pick up negative keyword ideas here too.   Read More >>

social-media-marketing-imageOne of the biggest challenges for the Internet home business owner today is figuring out how to integrate social media into their online portfolio. This can be a very daunting task, but it can pay huge dividends for your business. Social media is the best way to present yourself as an expert to your audience and niche. It handles one of the most important obstacle faced by Internet marketers today…the credibility gap. This simply means that your prospects need “proof” that you are who you say you are and social media is that proof.

But the real question now is “what exactly is social media and what are the best forms of social media that you need to be taking advantage of?”

First, social media lets you communicate with particular communities on the web. The Internet is one “huge” community that consists of tons of mini communities called niche markets and social media allows you to present yourself as a leader or expert in your niche market. And you are going to be able to penetrate these communities with things like blogging, video marketing, article marketing and even social networking. These are all very powerful sources for the home business entrepreneur or any business person for that matter to present themselves as a person of authority. Read More >>

It probably has a lot to do with your email autoresponders. After all, they’re what’s doing the selling for you, right? Here are 10 ways that you can improve your email autoresponders today and have your conversion rates double, triple or even quadruple almost instantly.

Google Beware: Bing Is On The Move

Posted by Brian 18 Sep, 2009

Bing is a player in the search game and is fighting and earning market share month over month. In fact, Bing is now the fastest growing search engine.

Bing-microsoftBack on June 3, 2009, Microsoft officially launched their new search brand, Bing. This was more than just a rebranding of the Microsoft search platform, but rather a repositioning to create a “decision engine.” The goal of Bing is to “provide customers with intelligent search tools to help them simplify tasks and make more informed decisions,” according to a Microsoft spokeperson.

That’s all well and good, but first we must understand that the odds were clearly stacked against Bing since it’s had to go up against the search giant, Google. This is obviously a pretty daunting task for Bing or any search engine for that matter, but they knew what they were getting themselves into and they were clearly up for the challenge. Read More >>

How To Set-Up A Facebook Page For Your Business

Posted by Krysti 17 Sep, 2009

This may come as a surprise to some of you, but looking at the number of fans a Facebook Page has is not the most important stat to measure success. Learn the keys to having tons of fans and a successful Facebook page…

facebookworld

Back in July when Facebook had 250 million users we all knew it wouldn’t be long until that number grew to 300 million.  Well it’s official as of September 15, 2009 Facebook announced that they have 300 million users. So what now? Well, I guarantee Facebook is not going to stop growing…people love the Facebook community too much and everyone is talking about it.

With all of these people on Facebook naturally a competitive nature has been born.  Marketers aka people that are out there promoting a Facebook Page are all racing to get as many fans as possible. Why? Well, people look at  the number of fans a Facebook Page has as a direct measure of success.  We were first exposed to this concept when Ashton Kutcher challenged CNN to a race to 1 million followers Twitter (Ashton won by the way). All of the sudden we all wanted thousands and thousands of followers on twitter too. The race was on, and it’s happening in the Facebook world now too. Read More >>

The Internet is a fascinating place that gives you the ability to meet, talk to and create relationships with people, tons of people, that you would never have thought possible 10, 15, or 20 years ago.

We now have the ability to be “connected” and I mean really connected with anyone and everyone from across the globe.

YouTube Statistics: Hold On To Your Pants

Posted by Krysti 10 Sep, 2009

You see, we already know that everyone wants to hang out on YouTube, but the most important YouTube statistic to us as marketers is, “Does YouTube actually have an influence on peoples’ desire to take action and buy?” Let me wet your pallet with this YouTube statistic: 45% of all YouTube visitors are seeking information about products or services to purchase.

youtube-targetYouTube has been the talk of the town and it’s old news for me to tell you that there are millions of people taking advantage of the totally unique and unpredictable content that is produced by YouTubers every single day. There are plenty of people that use YouTube as a source of entertainment, comic relief, meditation, or just plain aimless browsing. I know when I’m having a bad day I can always find a funny video of a dog jumping on a trampoline or a baby farting. The global society as a whole has reached it’s arms out and completely embraced YouTube and all that it has to offer. The facts are in the pudding so get your spoon out.

I hopped over to Alexa.com where I searched and found the most up-to-date YouTube statistics. YouTube is the 4th most trafficked site on the entire web. Read More >>
