KSP Reports Bing Increases Growth, Ad Impressions and Clicks

August 26th, 2010

Los Angeles, California (04 August 2010) – Keyword Search Pros has published its latest quarterly report showing Bing’s steady growth in ad impressions and clicks. The report that covers the second quarter of 2010 also includes the overall growth and recovery of search advertising as a whole. Keyword Search Specialists work with advertisers on the world’s largest search engines including Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Ask.com, Facebook and many more.

Bing, the newest Microsoft search engine is currently controlled through the same MSN AdCenter interface that controlled the previous MSN engine. In the report, KSP says the ad impressions on Bing are up 60% compared to the second quarter of 2009, while impressions on both Google and Yahoo remain steady over the past year. Ad clicks have also risen considerably to 145% compared to the period last year, while clicks on Google and Yahoo have remain slightly declined.

Certainly the figures above are good news for Bing and for advertisers who are looking forward to the ongoing integration of Yahoo into Microsoft’s Search Network to create a solid second option after Google.  Bing is offering users a fresh new way to search and advertisers a fresh new way to advertise. Bing’s advertising spend share rose while its click share dropped while Yahoo dropped in both spend share and click share.

Keyword Search Pros also noted that the over-all year spending in PPC advertising has increased by almost 33% in the second quarter, and has risen to almost 12% from the previous quarter of 2010. It is reported that the retail industry has caused this significant growth.

Keyword Search Pros is a PPC Management company dedicated to help advertisers make the most out of their PPC investment. With Bing management, KSP can help advertisers open new global opportunities to attract and retain new customers at the best value for their online advertising dollars.

Social Media Pathways Offers Businesses the Key to Social Media Marketing

July 15th, 2010

Social Media Pathways has just announced the debut of its Social Media Management services. “The rules of marketing have changed virtually overnight,” says Carl Gerber, owner of Social Media Pathways. “For the first time in 23 years, Pepsi Cola pulled its ads from the Super Bowl and put it into Social Media Marketing. Why? Because they understand the power of Social Media.”

With the explosion of online Social Media networks and communities, in just a short period of time, a business’s reputation can be built up or destroyed by the hundreds of thousands of iPhone, Droid and other smart phone users who participate in Social Media Networks. Many businesses don’t realize that, whether the business proactively uses the new Social Media mediums or not, their presence and reputation are being created by online communities.

The problem is that as the influence of Social Media is increasing so rapidly, and new Social Media platforms are being created all the time, most business owners simply cannot keep up. Some may have heard of Facebook or Twitter, and maybe have even put up a blog, but they are unaware of others that have a large impact on businesses reputations such as LinkedIn, Yelp and recently FourSquare.

Seeing the need for assisting businesses with the new Social Media Marketing, Gerber create Social Media Pathway (SMA). SMA offers Social Media Management and Assistant services to help companies understand the do’s and the don’ts of Social Media Marketing, create profiles and a presence on the major Social Media platforms, and send out consistent updates to Social Media networks and communities to proactively build a company’s presence and reputation.

New Social Media Marketing Company Ballarat Marketing Promises to Provide Hands-Free Marketing to Businesses

June 26th, 2010

A new company in the Social Media Marketing niche, BallaratMarketing.com, has already created quite a buzz with its promises to change conventional marketing methods and make things easier for businesses to manage their Social Media and Online Marketing activities. For starters, it promises to change the industry by introducing “Done for you” internet marketing packages – letting companies get back to running their core business, while allowing BallaratMarketing.com to take care of all their online marketing services.

BALLARAT, June 21, 2010 – The founding members of Ballarat Marketing who have worked on Social Media campaigns for multi-million dollar companies have realized the ‘holes’ in other internet marketing services and designed new packages to specifically cover all aspects of online marketing. This month-old company has already started making people take notice of it by claiming that it could handle all the online marketing campaigns including content creation and syndication for any business.

Ms. Butler, one of the founders of the company, spoke to this website about the commencement of her new company. Among various other things she said, “There are several thousand companies in the social media and online marketing niche; however, we have a different vision of improving things. For instance, just by bringing about completely hands-free, done-for-you marketing services, covering everything from social media marketing campaigns (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, etc) to web development, lead generation, and video marketing, we could create quite an improvement in the lives of busy businesses who can hire us for their one-stop “everything” rather than having to hire several different marketing and web development companies or spending valuable time training staff.”

“One thing we found with working with the larger businesses, is that they often have many different departments, outsourcers and companies working for them on their marketing campaigns at any one time – this can be a huge frustration for all involved as you have different people with different ideas, enthusiasm, and levels of experience working on the development of the website, social media campaigns, search engine optimization, press releases, writing content, etc. ”

“Businesses and staff often get lost in the muddle. Staff get “busy” with something else they have been assigned, or they lose enthusiasm or lack organization skills, and the marketing flow can be delayed for weeks or months waiting for one ‘gap’ in the plan to get re-focused. Staff can also lose track of what they are responsible for or might not be experienced enough to complete the task, and key information and tasks can be delayed, avoided, or miss-communicated to the various teams.”

“We aim to abolish that problem once and for all by making it possible for companies to hire us for everything and have an enthusiastic, experienced, and highly organized team do all the work for them”, said Butler.

Butler has worked in the internet industry for the past 13 years and has become a prominent expert in the social media training arena, helping individuals and businesses with their social media campaigns and blogs.

“Smaller companies also realize that they need to bring their businesses online and take advantage of social media, but are either snowed-under with their day-to-day tasks or haven’t a clue where to start.” says Penny Butler, founder BallaratMarketing.com. “We also cater for smaller businesses and individuals, having designed several ‘levels’ of packages for those with lower budgets or needs, and all our packages can be customized to suit the requirements of particular business goals.”

“Small companies usually have less competition than their larger counterparts, and therefore don’t require a total comprehensive marketing solution covering all the networks; often they are targeting locals in their business region and so don’t need nationwide/global exposure, and can focus on one or two particular areas online and still get great results, and others are keen to learn everything themselves to save on marketing costs.”

People that are keen to learn it themselves, can also take advantage of Ballarat Marketing’s free social media training designed to empower you to maximize your social media and internet marketing goals with step-by-step instructions which will teach you how to use and apply Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, GooglePlaces, and Search Engine Optimization to your business.

Ballarat Marketing provides comprehensive “Done for you” online marketing, social media services, and free training for businesses worldwide. Their vision is to be a one-stop internet marketing solution. For more information on Ballarat Marketing, please visit the official website at http://ballaratmarketing.com

May 23rd, 2010

Power Balance Wristband Shoots through the Roof as Price Reduction Is Announced

The sales of the popular product power balance wristbands are on an upward trend, which is due to the price reduction announced earlier this week, followed by an elaborate promotional and viral marketing strategy.

The already popular product power balance wristband has suddenly become more popular. In a carefully planned move, www.powerbalancewristband.org reduced the price of power balance wristbands from $29.99 to $19, which is a 37% reduction. The announcement was made on the product website available at http://www.powerbalancewristband.org and it has immediately generated a lot of positive response from the market segment.

Power balance wristbands is a product that contains two Mylar Holograms which are embedded with frequencies that react with your body’s electro-magnetic field.

When the static POWER BALANCE Hologram comes in contact with your body’s energy field, it begins to resonate in accordance with each individual’s biological energy system, creating a harmonic loop that optimizes your energy field, maintains maximum energy flow while it clears the pathways so the electro-chemical exchange functions like the well-tuned generator it was designed to be, resulting in immediate improved balance, increased core strength, greater flexibility, increased range of motion and overall well-being.

John Walters, a spokesman for www.powerbalancewristband.org, said, “We understand the need to revamp our popular product and provide our customers with more value for money. That’s one reason for this price reduction, and there’s also the reason that we are trying to reach out to a wider base. By reducing the price, we are also helping more people to utilize our hallmark product, and create awareness so that our new product finds a bigger market.”

One of the things that have helped in propagating the announcement of the discounted price is viral marketing. No sooner was the announcement made than the social networking groups got busy discussing the reduction and what benefits they entailed. On websites such as Facebook etc., there is already a lot of talk about the product and some YouTube videos are doing the rounds as well.

This popularity has come at a time when most people are trying to know more about Power Balance Wristbands. It is an intelligent marketing strategy, which has benefited the customers as well.

Latest Google Perspective by NVHOST

December 24th, 2009

Google “Caffeine” is the code name for the latest Google search engine which is rumored to be a major update for their website.  Additionally, Google announced it has begun indexing Twitter content, the 140 character communications sent on that social marketing site.  Let me tell you what we’ve seen at http://nvhost.com/ to help your search engine optimization efforts.

Google is looking to better capture current activities on the internet to build search results for consumers with a focus on real time social sites like Twitter.  If you don’t have an active Google Alert, it provides real time results of items Google is capturing about your company.  Recently, we had a customer call because they had a former employee place fraudulent complaints on a customer feedback site and a Google Alert would immediately alert your company of this type of issue.
Microsoft also announced they will index Twitter content.  If you don’t have a Twitter account, you should set one up immediately and begin tweeting (daily is great but do what you can) with keywords important for your website.  Our Google alerts have been very active with recent Twitter indexing and article publishing seems to be picked up faster now too.

The Google Caffeine impact will not be seen until early 2010 since Google generates billions of dollars of advertising.  Updated organic results could doom some retailers this Christmas shopping season and upset PPC customers.  At http://www.nvhost.com/, we stay on top of news for leading internet companies to service our customers and continue to build our online portfolio.  This allows us to cut through rumors to help your company drive business results.How can we help you grow your business?Please visit our website and complete our customer support form or call us at 866-469-4678 to personally answer questions.

National Positions Included on 2009 Inc 500

August 28th, 2009

National Positions debuts at 112 on Inc. Magazine’s list of 500 fastest growing private companies

Agoura Hills, CA – National Positions (www.nationalpositions.com) , a leading provider of internet marketing and search engine optimization services, has earned a position of 112 on the Inc. 500. Inc. Magazine’s prestigious listing honors the 500 fastest growing privately-held companies in the US. With a notable three-year growth of 1,455.6%, National Positions joins the ranks of previous honorees such as Microsoft, Oracle, Go Daddy and many other successful entrepreneurial businesses.

“National Positions is thrilled to be included in the 2009 Inc. 500 listing”, says Bernard May, CEO of National Positions. “It is thanks to our incredible worldwide team and our commitment to generating exceptional results for our clients that has got us to where we are today.”

Such growth, particularly in the B2B sector, is especially significant in light of global economic downturns. National Positions’ success can be linked to a few key factors. Businesses are moving in growing numbers away from traditional advertising approaches, such as print, radio and television, towards approaches such as internet marketing that can deliver a better ROI. Additionally, the internet’s metric-based nature gives businesses a clear view of the approaches that work for them, allowing companies to adjust their approach as consumer trends change.

These factors, combined with National Positions’ ability to help companies build effective pull marketing techniques, have positioned National Positions as a trusted resource for companies looking for new ways to grow their businesses.

While National Positions’ spot on the Inc. 500 is a testament to its rapid rise through the ranks, the company’s position is the result of genuine organic growth and is an example of a true American success story. Since 2004, the company has grown from a fledgling business in the CEO’s garage into a global venture, with offices in India, South Africa, and the UK. With a focus on delivering quality results and an excellent customer experience, National Positions’ more than 95% retention rate points to the most important reason for its continued success. However, the company recognizes that continued growth will require continued dedication to offering value to its clients. “It is our intention not to rest on our laurels,” May explains, “but rather to offer new innovative products that will help our clients maintain the edge over their competitors”.

About National Positions (www.nationalpositions.com): Headquartered in Los Angeles (California), with offices in India, UK and South Africa, National Positions is one of the fastest growing Internet Marketing and seo companies in the world today. The company’s rapid growth is attributed to an excellent track record, established relationships with major search engines and outstanding levels of client support. With retention rates of over 95%, National Positions stands out in the search engine marketing arena. By leveraging an international presence, proprietary technology, high work standards and competitive pricing, National Positions is committed to delivering exceptional results to businesses looking for an internet marketing strategy that works.

Stephen Pierce Reveals 7 Laws To Make Real Money Online

August 14th, 2009

DC, ( Pressreleaseroom ) August 13, 2009 – After continuous crashing of the stock markets, the economic condition doesn’t seem to regain its health as expected. Fearing the fact that the economic condition is hit to irreparable damage, renowned high paying firms have completely stopped the employee intake. In fact, they are finding reasons to throw the employees out the job. With the career world of many professionals becoming a question mark of future, they have to secure it by finding some alternative sources of high income. When it comes to making fast money, internet is the place to look for. “Making fast money is the main specialty of the online job opportunities. However, many people fear to get into the opportunities to make money online fearing the online scams. Remember the fact that any unbelievable promise made online can be probably a scam. Moreover, there is nothing like free lunch – These online money making opportunities involve real work and you will be only paid for your work. So don’t fall for the instant
get rich scams. There are several other genuine opportunities to make money online” says Stephen.

When asked about the genuine opportunities to make money online, he said, “Real money making opportunities online are virtually unlimited. However, searching for the genuine opportunities is like searching for a needle in a digital haystack of data. Instead of searching for the genuine opportunities it is great to create an opportunity by yourself. All you have to do is to follow the 7 steps that are mentioned at http://www.dtalpha.com/talkback/?p=369. The seven steps to make money online are very simple which even novice internet surfers can follow. All these seven steps are compiled based on months of research and so I am not revealing it here. However, they are available for free in the website.”

Speaking on the move, Mr. Stephen Pierce said, “The online money making opportunities are always viewed as extra income. For the moment of truth, the opportunities to make money online can also be treated as a permanent job.

Building an online community for your business

August 10th, 2009

London, UK ( Pressreleaseroom ) August 7, 2009 – It’s certainly something lots of marketing experts are talking about, but just how small businesses should go about building an online community is harder to understand. Ben Dyer has built a 10,000 member community for his business and he shares the lessons he’s learned in a new article on Marketing Donut.

Dyer says that while a community is a powerful way to engage with your customers, building one requires patience and perseverance.

“For every community I have seen fail due to lack of traffic, two have the plug pulled because of a perceived lack of progress” he says.

Dyer says the other key ingredients of success are: leadership, ground rules, taking criticism on the chin, and making sure the community caters to everyone, not just the “fanatics”.

“Running a community is hard work, but it can be a fantastically rewarding experience for both you and your customers. The reality is that if you have a successful company, product or service, your customers will be talking about you anyway. What you need to decide is whether you are willing to facilitate the conversation.”

Backed by Google and Royal Mail, Marketing Donut is a free marketing resource that’s been developed specially for small business. Practical and no-nonsense, Marketing Donut covers all aspects of small business marketing, from branding through to internet marketing, from direct marketing through to generating PR for your business.

Scheme brings professional marketing services within reach of small and medium businesses

July 26th, 2009

A Dorset company is introducing a range of realistically priced packages designed to allow small businesses access to professional marketing and communications assistance. This could be for major projects or simply a five minute phone or email query.

The “Marketing Made Simple” packages from Lware Limited (Communications) provide the client with “credits” which are redeemable against whatever mix of services they require.

The company states “Many smaller businesses are wary of being ’sucked in’ by traditional agencies, fearing excessive costs, so they adopt a DIY approach. The result – some awful first impressions are formed when bad spelling or grammar or an appalling page layout is encountered. Our service can prevent such errors, at a tiny cost, in just a few minutes.

Lware aims to provide a ‘one stop shop’ offering unrivalled value for money, addressing tasks of all sizes, from a five minute query right up to major projects,  helping clients make that all important great first impression.”

Packages start from under £20 per week and provide a number of credits appropriate to the business concerned. Details can be found on the company’s web site www.lware.co.uk

Background information

Lware Ltd is in its third year of trading but has experience of marketing within both large and small organisations dating back to the 1980s. Staff within the company have experience in such diverse areas as

  • Press officer for an international telecommunications company
  • Speech writer for the CEO of one of Britain’s largest companies
  • Exhibitions Manager for a major multinational defence contractor
  • Technical article author published on both sides of the Atlantic
  • Script writer for radio advertisements
  • Running a corporate entertainment agency
  • Experience of working within both the software and retail industries

This diversity of experience means the company is able to understand the needs and difficulties faced by many types of business, from first hand experience.

The basic “Marketing Made Simple” package (at under £20 per week) could be used to purchase (for example) all of the following services in any quarter:

  • 1 “standard” press release along with local submission, plus
  • Copywriting a double sided sales leaflet / datasheet, plus
  • 4 pages of A4 proof reading, plus
  • 2 email queries, plus
  • 2 telephone queries

Why giveaways are good for business

July 18th, 2009

London, UK ( Pressreleaseroom ) July 17, 2009 – Making your most valuable customers feel valued with a carefully-selected gift could deliver the same return as a direct mail to 1000 people or an advert in the local newspaper, says a new expert article on free small business marketing resource Marketing Donut.

“Merchandising might seem like an unnecessary cost during the recession, but if you set clear objectives and select the right merchandise for your target audience, it can generate a valuable return on investment,” says the article on Marketing Donut.

The article says merchandising delivers benefits such as: connecting with customers, raising awareness of the business, and driving sales.

Marketing Donut expert Andy Preston says that with merchandising it’s important to be clear about what you want to achieve. “For example, do you want customers to sign up to your newsletter and communicate with you more, or to drive new customers to your website and increase online sales?”

It’s also important to choose an item of merchandise that’s appropriate for your business.

“So if you’re in financial services you could portray your reliability with something practical, and if you’re in the leisure sector, you should create something fun. For example, a go-kart business could distribute wind-up mini racers.”

The article also has advice about choosing suppliers and methods of distribution.

Marketing Donut is a free marketing resource that’s backed by Google and Royal Mail. It’s got thousands of expert tools and information covering all aspects of small business sales and marketing.

Agriya launches add-on modules for MarkIt, a social bookmarking script

May 23rd, 2009

Summary:

Agriya infoway unveils its add-on modules for MarkIt, a social bookmarking script. These modules were released to enhance user experience.

Chennai, May 23, 2009. Agriya Infoway, a web development company, announced the launch of its add-on modules for MarkIt, a social bookmarking script. The three add-on modules were released to enhance user experience.

In the net world, spam has become a common threat to webmasters. Recaptcha has come to rescue them, by offering images of letters and numbers for humans to decipher. The Recapthca integration module is offered as an add-on with MarkIt, to help webmasters safeguard their site from spammers. A social bookmarking site will attract a large number of visitors, so spammers concentrate more on social bookmarking sites. This add on hence seems to be a must use for Markit users.

Facebook is the popular social networking site that has pulled in more than 75% of net users. So offering some means to make use of Facebook information like profile, friends list and account details in a site will attract more users. This attempt is a strategic move to monetize your site through the popularity of Facebook. Another add-on module called ‘Fconnect’ of MarkIt, will enable users to login using their Facebook Id. It doesn’t stop with this; users logged in with their facebook Id can invite their facebook friends and even add their MarkIt site details to their Facebook profile box. Fconnect will be the right choice for raising the site’s member count.

It offers one more add-on named ‘Zementa API Integration’ which suggests relevant tags collected around the web while adding a bookmark to help users select tags at a single go. This module will reduce the time taken to track down information to include.

Speaking on the announcement, Ms.Sheerin, Vice President of Marketing at Agriya, said “We, at Agriya, always work towards customer satisfaction. We try to bring something new into our product and make it unique in the market. The release of the add-ons for MarkIt is one such effort. We are sure that customers will really love to add those modules and use them to their advantage”

Attention Franchisors: There Is A Way To Dramatically Improve Your Franchisees Marketing Results

September 2nd, 2008

FROM INTRIMARKETING:

09/01/2008

Dear Franchisor,

If you need an immediate infusion of sales and results form your franchisees and have no idea how to motivate them, I have some bad news.

You can’t.

Some of your exceptional owners will always outperform the rest. (It’s usually 10-20% of the group). But now you don’t have to settle for 80-90% of your franchisees being average or below because of a lack of individual marketing acumen.

IntriMarketing www.intrimarketing.com is revolutionizing the LSM industry.

Of the franchisors and franchisees that I speak with, most of them operate on a piece meal approach- “improve my direct mail”, “help me get more local hits online”, “handle my yellow page account”, etc. Their underlying marketing problems run much deeper. Writing a check for advertising is the first place they start when the ideas run out.

Spending more money for something that’s not working is like giving a drowning man more water to drink. Until now Franchisors struggled to motivate individual franchisees with regard to Local Store Marketing. When the corporate marketing team offers ideas, the franchisees respond with excuses.

Not anymore.

As a former franchisee, I understood the adversarial relationship that can form between a franchisor and franchisee. My individual problems and aspirations had little to do with the corporate branding strategy and direction of the franchisor. From 2001-2003, I built my local marketing system and my small company got bigger. In 2004, I began to catalog and document my procedures for local store marketing. I sold that franchise in 2006 and began with my current business, IntriMarketing.

The concept is this:

_________________________________________________________________________

From a marketing standpoint, IntriMarketing will ensure that 3 critical steps are taken consistently and that if left to your own devices have a high probability of never being done:

1. We will build a targeted, effective, profitable marketing system specifically for you and your company.

2. We will proceed to implement the marketing tools created, systematically and consistently.

3. We will track all of the tools (that can be tracked) to ensure performance, profitability, and effectiveness, enabling us to replicate the model throughout your network of franchisees with small adjustments for each.

_________________________________________________________________________

The net effect to you is that you end up with an effective marketing system, humming along as you spend your time where you deem necessary. A close analogy is that of your CPA. Most likely you don’t stay up at night working on depreciating inventory or stressing over the pros and cons of the F.I.F.O. method for next year.

You trust that you have selected a competent, skilled CPA and you monitor his or her progress. Their success is evident each quarter and each year. The CPA manages your Financial Function.

So it is with IntriMarketing and your Local Store Marketing Function. As the Local Marketing Director for your individual franchisees, I will report to you via email monthly, via telephone whenever, and onsite each quarter. My primary aim? Your targeted growth and the marketing profitability of your franchisees.

Marketing profitability means that we acquire our ideal prospects and clients in the least expensive ways possible. Creativity trumps spending.

Another point to keep in mind, do not assume that I will be controlling your marketing function. The fact is I will be organizing, researching, investigating, suggesting and managing. This is far different than controlling. My skills and talents lie not in my ability to always provide the right answers. My value to you will be in asking the right questions.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Scott

PS: Summing up my value to you:

· Save you boatloads of Time

· Revenue and profit will go up through use of techniques and targeting ideal clients

· The equity of your business will be increased by having such a marketing system in place
