New Video Tools Make Marketing Easy

October 14, 2009 by · 6 Comments 

It just is not true that in order to have a video made you have to have all this equipment of the right video tools.  Some people will tell you that you need a certain camera or a certain type of lighting set up and a green screen and be professional. That simply is not true. You don’t need to be an anchor man or woman or any professional, just be yourself and give good content.  You will find that doing it this way will get you more response and that is because people value content over production.

Believe it or not, when you listen to one and you hear them make a mistake or pronounce a word wrong, it actually makes them sound more real! I think most people are suspicious of professional videos with actors. They look like TV commercials and no one takes them seriously. Some of the greatest most watched videos on YouTube are average people who have taken a camera and shot a concert or a motivational speaker because the content is great.  To get a good quality video, read up on the latest high definition camcorder ratings.

Make your video less then 5 minutes and act like you are talking to your friends. If you are explaining something then think about how you would explain this to the people you work with. How would you explain it to them? Give the advice that you are an expert in and people will appreciate it more than you know. If you just keep it simple, you will do very well.

What Are The Benefits from Social Network Sites?

June 17, 2009 by · 7 Comments 

Educators, parents and carers increasingly recognize the importance of understanding the appeal and use of social networking services among young people. This may be to prevent or respond to a negative incident: cyberbullying or inappropriate content or activities. Educators should be encouraging students to involve themselves with the internet and invent new ideas.

Education should stem around embracing social networking sites , and their uses for education, but also on what types of information students should and should not be posting online. Security should also be considered part of the education process. This report by CNET recently exposed the dangers of allowing “friends” access to your personal information.

Users benefit by interacting with a like minded community and finding a channel for their energy and giving. Users can maintain a list of friends, a gallery of images, a personal profile, and comments and other forms of communication in order to network, and keep in touch with people all over the world. Users can also find fun photos of recent events, make donations online and learn about volunteering.

MySpace, for example, builds on independent music scenes. Facebook was originally used exclusively by US Ivy League college students while Bebo and Hi5 make it easy for school and college students to stay in touch with their friends. MySpace has a pact with Helio, a wireless joint venture between SK Telecom and Earthlink, that will allow users to send photos and update their blogs or profiles by cell phone.

MySpace.com is a social network that began to promote independent music and the socialite scene across the globe. Aside from being able to listen to new music and find out about the latest party, Myspace is a fun and artistic site where users can create unique profiles and share their favorite videos with friends.

Online marketing channels such as websites , electronic newsletters, email campaigns, and internet advertising are already being used by small businesses to save money on marketing, since these tend to be much less expensive than some older, more traditional methods. But with the popularity of sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn, small businesses are finding yet another marketing strategy that not only saves them money, but is also very effective in getting the attention of customers and the search engines alike and that strategy is social networking .

Facebook meanwhile chalked up a rise, although way off its mid 2007 hype peak when you couldn’t move for zeitgeist chasing “where is the Facebook angle?”.stories in the press and on TV. Facebook forced users to alter their privacy settings after the fact, and after some information may already have been broadcast.

Facebook and MySpace are currently the two most active social networking sites on the Web and are where many nonprofits are setting up profiles, launching causes, or networking. Given their popularity, fast growth, and current size, many of your existing or potential supporters may already be actively using these services, making them a good place to start.

Is SEO dead?

June 14, 2009 by · 9 Comments 

I was reading a thread at a big webmaster forum yesterday which made the claim that “SEO is dead.” Now, it’s hard to say whether or not the original poster was being serious or sarcastic, but he referenced some other news he’d been reading on a few authority sites that made the “dead” claim.

The notion was that, because of the prevalence of Web 2.0 community sites, the idea of needing to optimize for any of the engines was going away — and fast. The idea was also put forth by another poster that, because of the huge number of content management systems that are already setup to be “search engine friendly”, the need to have any additional knowledge to rank well was quickly diminishing.

My answer to all this? Poppycock.

First, while it is true that there are many CMS programs that are search engine friendly out of the box, on-page factors matter so little to ranking (at least in Google) that even if the on-page playing field was leveled, it would make little difference in the current search engine results.

Second, SEO is about far more than just what’s on the page. The way you analyze what keywords are worth optimizing for, the way you write the content around those keywords, and the links you get to the pages that you want to rank for those keywords all have a large role to play in how much traffic you get from the search engines — and that analysis takes specialized knowledge. Anyone can learn to do it, but it does have to be learned.

Third, and most importantly, Web 2.0 is nice, and sites that revolve around that kind of community are huge traffic mongers (e.g. YouTube), but there will always be a need for full-text indexing of the web.

So is SEO dead? Nope. It’s alive and well, and will be for as long as people need to search for information on the web.
