Internet Marketing: An Underused Resource

posted on 29 December 2011

Internet marketing can be an incredible resource. Personally, having worked in a local chamber of commerce, I have utilized it in a variety of ways. Facebook, for instance. We had a Facebook page set up to advertise and also help our members advertise so that they would stay with our company. We used Twitter in the same way. Our web page was set up so that our members could log on and make reservations for our events. This method of internet usage saved us a lot of valuable time that would have been used processing these applications on paper. Also there's the heartland of the internet - search engines. Search engine optimisation can help you gain more traffic to your site. A search for something like SEO Nottingham (choose your locality) can help you find experts to help you with SEO in your area. Lastly, we had a LinkedIn account. LinkedIn is a professional social networking platform for businesses and workers. Our staff had LinkedIn pages so that we could contact clients and chamber of commerce members easily and stay up-to-date in the business world. These various methods of internet marketing increased our efficiency and office productivity.

A Young Newbie Shows Me the Rules of the Game

posted on 18 November 2011

Results don't lie. It doesn't matter how well known your business is in town or how many years you've been serving the same community. If your product or service does not have a prominent presence online, then you might as well shutter your doors now. Having done a search for seo derby, I could see just how important internet marketing was becoming - the SEO market in my home town was itself so crowded with services! I learned the hard way, after I resisted getting involved in setting up a website. I thought I knew everything there was to know about marketing, since I've been in the same location for years and have personal relationships with all my customers. But when a competitor set up shop about a half-mile away, I noticed a marked decrease in traffic, which resulted in correspondingly low sales. My competitor was a young, business-savvy graduate of a marketing program that taught him all the NEW rules, which included making sure you were appealing to the new, technology-focused consumer. He had a web site, a Facebook page, a Twitter account and was connected through Linked In and several other special-interest Internet groups. Plus, he had an online store. I thought "how dare he" invade my territory! However, I knew that I still had the advantage of age, experience and product and service know-how, so I asked for recommendations about becoming a player in the online store wars. Sixteen months later, I'm happy to say that I'm doing fantastic. My sales have doubled and I'm now selling to customers across the country as well as across the street. And my competitor? He's still in business, but we are now collaborating on some joint ideas. I'm a Twitterer and Facebooker and I'm also doing Diggs. Life is good!

My Experience Marketing a Small Scale Website

posted on 4 November 2011

In my younger years, I taught myself how to code in html and PHP. This led to the creation of my own website along with some friends I had met on a message board online pertaining to sports. At first this venture was just for personal fun but then we decided to expand the scope and try to bring in new members. Our primary method of doing so was related to creating banner ads and finding similar smaller sites looking to expand and contact the administrator to discuss a banner swap deal where we each displayed the other’s ad for a given period of time on our sites. This was relatively effective but it created the issue of having the same audience on two similar sites intertwining. I was always looking at ways to market my site - I sought email marketing advice as well as reading SEO tips. Another way we tried to market the website was through various message boards and chat rooms related directly to the sports theme of our site. This was also moderately effective and ultimately led to our site having several hundred unique visitors per week after a couple months of operation.

I Love Flash, and I Don't Care to Admit It

posted on 5 July 2011

There's been this waxing and waning of public opinion (or at least web developer opinion) when it comes to Flash. In the late 90s, it was the bees knees. Then it got unpopular because it was search engine unfriendly and lacked usability. Now it's made another comeback, and this time in a much more sensible way. Instead of those Flash-only sites, now we see Flash used as elements of a page - maybe a video (e.g. look at a typical youtube page), or a slideshow. That means you get the best of both worlds - the multimedia of Flash with the search engine friendliness and usability of HTML. When seeking a web development company, I like to use a search engine and enter keywords like web development derbyshire (location is important as I like to meet developers). Ask your local developers if they use Flash, and if so, how they use it.

Reason why online marketing is doing better than other marketing methods

posted on 28 June 2011

The other day when we were outside our dormitories talking with friends, we got approached with students who had questionnaires. This was a very normal thing in universities because we are always given research papers and we are required to use a research style to get the work done and many students opted for questionnaires because they had better results. These were business major students who were asking us why online marketing, basically seo was more preferable than the other old ways of marketing. We told them that many young people rarely read newspapers because they had the equivalent online. They asked us why we read the online newspapers instead of the ones in print and we told them that we were constantly on the internet and that is why reading them online sounded better than reading the actual newspaper. We also added that online activities helped us multitask. We could browse many pages at once and still be able to read the paper. That is something that we could not do with an actual newspaper.

posted on 29 March 2011

I am not used to having a smart phone. I am not the type of person who is highly obsessed by technology. According to be, I think technology can be morally degrading. My cousins are addicted to the internet and some of the things that they do on the internet are morally questionable. What makes it easier for them is the fact that they have smart phones that make it easier for them to indulge in activities that are not right. I knew that their phones were the main cause of their weird behaviors, but I did not know how it worked. What I knew is that they could access internet very easily and they did not even have to use their computers to get in to their phones. Most of them watched videos via their phones. They said the advantage of having a phone like the blackberry curve is the fact that there are so many features that one can choose from. Though they said that someone like me would need the instruction manual blackberry curve. That is because it had so many features in that I would need to be familiarized with the computer with the help of the manual.

I Used to Like Facebook, Not Anymore

posted on 8 March 2011

A few years ago when I joined Facebook, I loved it. It was a great way to see what my friends were up to and keep in contact with people that I didn’t see often. I even got addicted to Farmville, and changing my profile page with various new Facebook banners. But then they started allowing everyone to join, not just college students and graduates. After that, it all went downhill. Now it is full of middle and high school kids and family members, so I can’t post all of the things I don’t want them to see without going through the trouble of applying special privacy settings. Applications were fun at first, but now I am sick of seeing that someone sent me a request on Farmville. There have been so many updates and changes to Facebook that I can’t stand to use it anymore. I downloaded the Facebook Ipod application, and set it up to alert me if I get a message. Other than that, I never look at it anymore. They made too many changes trying to fix what was fine to begin with, and that lost my interest.
