Learning while evaluating SEO programs

2011-04-24T11:43:00.001-04:00

New Horizons just hosted an excellent free overview of a brand new certification course series - integrating all kinds of SEO into your marketing program.

The overview took 3 hours with one creator of the new syllabus, Steve (This was at the Melville facility, but Steve traveled from CT to deliver to a room of about 20 assorted business and support people)

Looks terrific. 5 separate certifications each with a 12 week course - time commitment 4 flexible hours / week, and each course integrates a live project from your business or department needs. So you create your ROI on the course, while still taking it!!!

Here's the big tip (thanks for waiting)

Even the free overviews, webinars and come-on presentations for your Search Engine Optimization & Web Marketing needs will educate you on what you need to do....

Last week a restaurant owner and I sat through an online Yellow Pages SEO program.

And I love Ed Taylors effective approach

Terrific - Google URL Shortener - I'm In

Goo.gl url shortener is now open to everyone!

September 30, 2010

in Google/SEO

I love this: the goo.gl url shortener is now open to everyone! I know the folks that worked on this, so let me answer a few quick questions.

Q: Why are you doing this?

A: Google needed a url shortener for its own products where we knew the shortener wouldn’t go away. We also wanted a shortener that we knew would do things the right way (e.g. 301/permanent redirects), and that would be fast, stable, and secure.

Subject: Business Building Tips for Entrepreneurs

The moment a prospect decides to buy SHOULD NOT be the moment you stop selling. Selling should continue indefinitely. You should be cross selling, up-selling, and every other direction selling you possibly can. And, believe it or not, your customers will love you for it!

Here are some examples to help you understand why:

It's almost impossible to go to a fast food restaurant without having someone ask you if you would like to "Supersize That." Once that happens, it's like an invisible force is speaking to the irrational side of our brains. We have a brief moment of logic as we figure out-59 cents more, for double the food, is a great value. But, that is the full extent of our logical power. Afterwards, irrationality steps in, and rather than consider if we can even eat double the food, we pat ourselves on the back for being smart consumers.

This is the very purpose behind coupon distribution. If you are standing in front of the canned beans in a grocery store and there is a coupon attached to each can, how many cans of beans are you going to buy? You only needed one. But there's that consumer logic at work again. "30 cents off is a great bargain! I'm buying five cans!" And, you go home with more beans than you could possibly need, but a receipt that shows your "savings." What a deal!

The very best time to up-sell is right when your customer has purchased. If you're not up-selling during and after the buying process, start doing it now. Right now!

Clate Mask

Google + Bing Confirm that Twitter/Facebook Influence SEO

December 2nd, 2010 - Posted by randfish to Social Media 700 As of yesterday, both Bing and Google have confirmed (via an excellent interview by Danny Sullivan) that links shared through Twitter and Facebook have a direct impact on rankings (in addition to the positive second-order effects they may have on the link graph). This has long been suspected by SEOs (in fact, many of us posited it was happening as of November of last year following Google + Bing's announcements of partnerships with Twitter), but getting this official confirmation is a substantive step forward.

In addition to that revelation, another piece of critical data came via yesterday's announcement:
