oDesk Social Media Marketing question and answers

2013-07-12T00:57:00.000-07:00

1. How do social media marketing tools work?

Many social media marketing tools — blogs, social networks or media sharing sites, for example — have similar functionality, such as providing for conversations between users, interaction within communities, collaboration and sharing. Many of these tools and allow users to set up a profile to establish their identity and interests, and to connect with others — friends, fans, followers, subscribers, contacts — and to interact with those connections.

Every site and tool might have its own proprietary terminology and some unique features, but in general, there are similarities between most blogging platforms and some recognizable features that all social networks share.

2. How can you best use social media tools?

When using social media tools and tactics, you first need an overarching strategy and plan. What are you trying to achieve? Who are you trying to reach?

When you market using social media tools and tactics, you are interacting in a “social” space where trust and etiquette are critical. Many tools may allow you to broadcast, but broadcasting should not make up the bulk of your participation in social media spaces. Instead, you should be looking to first listen, and then meaningfully engage in conversations with your connections.

3. What’s the best social media tool to start with? (Blog? Facebook? LinkedIn?)

Choosing the social media sites and tools that are right for you depends on your overarching objectives: What are you trying to achieve and who are you trying to reach? There are wider-reaching sites such as a blog or Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, but also more narrow or niche sites and tools such as social networks specific to particular industry or interest, such as Care2 for environment, animal and human rights issues, or Behance for graphic designers. If you had to start with one site to help you in business, a good place to begin is with a professional profile on LinkedIn.

4. How do I discern which social networks are best for my market?

To find your audience, start with a search on Google for keywords specific to your audience to cast a wide net. You can also drill deeper by performing the same searches on specific general networks, such as Facebook or Twitter.

5. What are the big “don’ts” in social media marketing?

Never lie. Never spam. Never just broadcast a message out to your connections and call it good. Never be too promotional.

6. What are your social media marketing “must dos?”

You must listen first, respect existing online communities, enter conversations politely, start conversations, respond to others, be generous, share and provide value.

7. I’m involved in social media, but am not sure how to use it to grow my business (i.e. monetize it)?

Think of social media marketing as another tool in your marketing toolkit. Social media marketing is not currently a direct sales tool, but can lead to sales. Think of social media marketing more as a branding and loyalty tool. How do you quantify the value of brand building and loyalty building? Look at customer service as well. What are your cost savings in the area of customer service and customer relations because you’re getting to the heart of complaints and issues more efficiently via social media channels? There are clear and sensible ways right now to determine your social media ROI. Now is the time to set benchmarks, goals, and to regularly analyze your numbers.

8. How do you “vet” clients you meet or who find you via social media channels?

How do you vet clients that you get from other channels where you don’t have a common contact? You do your due diligence, which can start with a Google search of the person or entity’s name. With social media conversations, you can find out more about people, companies and organizations than ever before. But also see if you do have a common contact, even if they’re a few degrees away from you. LinkedIn is a great place to start to see if you know someone who knows someone who knows the potential client, but Facebook can be just as useful to glean some feedback.

9. Which tools are best for graphic designers?

There are online portfolios for graphic designers including Behance, design:related, Coroflotand and online communities on social networks such as Facebook and Flickr. Designers can showcase work on a Facebook Page, a Flickr account and a blog or even a microblog such as Tumblr.

10. How do I best get started using social media marketing, and should I focus on using it for myself first and getting comfortable with it before using it for clients, or should I learn for clients first?

Everyone thinks they can offer social media marketing services to their clients. However, it takes more than having a Facebook account and knowing how to tweet to provide quality and comprehensive consulting and services. If you aren’t even engaged in social media channels, hold off on trying to offer social media marketing to your clients to avoid damaging your reputation. You first need to start using the sites, tools and tactics for yourself, and even if you master them to market your own company, that doesn’t necessarily mean you can now provide similar services to others.

Stick to your core competencies and instead consider partnering with someone who is truly engaged in social media marketing consulting. Form a mutually-beneficial relationship where you can refer new business to one another and both work within your areas of skill.

What are your burning social media marketing questions? I’ll be sure to answer them here over the next few months.

2{
3    list($user, $domain) = explode('@',$address);
4    return array('user' => $user, 'domain' => $domain);
5}

7. the most challenging task (for me). Phone regexps:

1function ReformatPhoneNumber($number)
2{
3    if (preg_match('/^(\d[ -]?){7,12}$/', $number, $matches))
4    {
5        return preg_replace('/[ -]/', '', $number);

7 
8    throw new Exception('Invalid phone number');
9}

8. get longest string in arguments:

01function GetLongestString()
02{
03    $length = 0;
04    foreach(func_get_args() as $arg)
05    {
06 
07        $var = strlen($arg);
08        if($var > $length)
09        {
10            $length = $var;
11        }
12    }
13    return $length;
14}

9. find maximum in nested array:

1function MaxArray($arr)
2{
3    $GLOBALS['max'] = 0;
4    array_walk_recursive($arr,create_function('$item,$key','if($item > $GLOBALS["max"]) $GLOBALS["max"] = $item;'));
5    return $GLOBALS['max'];
6}

10. output all numbers divisable by 8 from 200 to 600 inclusive:

1for($i = 200; $i <= 592; $i+=8)
2{
3    echo $i.',';
4}
5echo $i;

Note, that all answers are correct, but some of them are not optimized, so you may be in top 20% with this, but not higher. If someone would like to post any improvements to the code snippets above - they are welcome

Local SEO Optimization Penalty Business

2012-05-01T07:21:00.000-07:00

Head of Spam Cop Matt Cutts of Google has announced the upcoming launch of a new optimization is worth more "level playing field." The revelation came earlier this month at South By Southwest (SXSW), held in Austin, Texas, during an open panel - titled "Dear Google, Yahoo! Search: Support for a better place!" - Google and Bing representatives and webmasters for internet spam. Google wants the death penalty are the websites that offer quality content and a better ability to classify organic search traffic and conversions to go to be generated.

Virtually all website owners can display search results of your loved ones and show at least one trophy phrase that your site should not be allowed to attend. Irish Party competitive, sometimes sites have poor content, but it's hard to concentrate more on search engine optimization efforts. These pages are easy to spot. They usually have a mastery of the word, a lot of keyword rich internal variable degree of binding, and highly optimized and content of the body. The link will be greatly optimized their portfolios as well. However, its content is low, is its low value proposition, of course - the human observer, but because of their ranking SEO. Next optimization penalty theoretically could change the game plan for websites with good content and the highest ranking above sites with SEO too.

What qualifies as an optimization over?

No one knows than Google, what exactly is "over-optimization". However, said Cutts that Google is trying to sites that "people the assault that if you spend many words on the page, or link exchanges as well, or do something at the end is what the average person expect in a given area." It is generally accepted that the keyword stuffing and link exchange are already signs of spam in the algorithm of Google, so Google will increase the amount of such penalty or convicted absorption signals from spam and have earned the signals by means of optimized algorithms other eye.

5 characters that can be described as an optimization

I can not believe Cutts reference bit is all that is over-update optimization algorithm, which was what they fantasize about being classified as over-optimization. Remember, I have no inside knowledge about the need to plan what they are. In other words, do not go out and change all these things just because you read this article. But this tactic is on my list because they leave a bad taste in his mouth when he caught them, and I really hope you are on the list of Cutts as well.

To the left on one side of this page with anchor text better. If the page www.jillsfakesite.com / flannel shirt and body of the page to link to the "fabric", words, words on the page, ie www.jillsfakesite.com / sleeve flannel, should be counted as excessive optimization.
Always close to the body of a handful of key locations with optimized anchor text. About 33 of 100 Link to my www.jillsfakesite.com main text with the text link "a fake Jill," should be counted as an optimization.
Change the text valuable "Home" anchor for the keyword. Normally, the link home to enter the site. But in cases where the home link text based and has more lush with the keyword, which should be counted as an optimization has been optimized.
Anchor text coherent and highly optimized reverse. About 10 out of 100 links to a page with the same highly optimized anchor text, as a "false Jill Fakest website flannel shirts for sale on the web", which should be counted as an optimization.
Generic domain name keywords. Classification of impact on the sense and should be downgraded in importance. Now I am sure that it is difficult to determine what words are and who their generic brands. However, Google seems to break the nut, at least partially with the results for stickers. Sure, people in the area, the difference between unbranded littleblackdress.com whitehouseblackmarket.com domain and brand.

There you have it, is my favorite at least five of the optimization tactics, all that hope, algorithmic signs of spam. Comments transcripts Cutts' on capital is lower, but well worth it, to "Dear Google and Bing help rank better" side of the recording session for all to hear tidbits 16:09 transcribed audio clip of one hour may be looking for ..

According to Matt Cutts: "Normally we do not notice the changes, but is something we have worked in recent months, and hopefully in the next month or so, you know, in the coming weeks we hope to release it. And the idea is basically trying to balance the playing field a bit. So all the people who have made way in the absence of a better word, over-optimization or to its position, compared with those who are making a good content and try to make a fantastic place, we want to kind of make the field more intense. and then there are things I try the website are the Googlebot to make smarter, we'll try to make our importance customizable so that if the people do not do SEO, we understand these things, then we will also start people, this type of abuse if they throw too many keywords on the page, or if they change too many links, or what they do to the most beyond what a normal person is expected to order in a given area. and is something we can continue to pay attention, and we'll keep working on it and is an active area where we have some engineers in my team who is working on right now. "

It 's time to random Google

2012-05-01T06:33:00.000-07:00

You can do a little dance "when you hear the news from Google about a change in its search algorithm, or may be left scratching their heads, what they do. Googler Matt Cutts and Amit Singhal, announced at the Google blog that be a change in search algorithms. This change is particularly low quality sites, the content of others and the value of the offer in general small version. Oddly enough, that's over 11% of all sites indexed by Google.

Everything Google does with its search algorithm is approximately:

"Give people the most important answers to your questions as quickly as possible"

This change has a plan and Chrome add-on, where people could not be related feature reappears in organic search results are not blocked. Although Google says it is not with this application to create your own algorithm. About 84% of the sites that have been affected by this change algorithm were on that list. Results that are targeted to the new algorithm changes.

What does this mean for your site?

Hopefully that means good things. This algorithm is the change underway in the U.S. and gradually went elsewhere. Since Google is actually the removal of companies and content sites created from scratch the content of other web sites is a good omen for a good site with original content that is relevant and reflective. Which brings us to another question. When was the last time I looked at the contents of your site?

Effective SEO Marketing Tips

2012-05-01T06:02:00.001-07:00

Like any good writer, SEO expert, I started this blog with a little "old" keyword research. (Yes, I'm on the side spoilers phrases relating to interfere with the color, creative writing.) However, for sites that want the best search engine optimization, keyword research is a good habit.

These SEO tips are not intended for you to distinguish between fantasy when it comes to the content of this page. (Not to sound like a robot, right?) My goal is to give SEO tips to attract public attention on the Internet and search engines. Together, get web traffic and buyers the most impact for your business.

Keyword Research

Make sure your site for the use of keywords, which is optimized for your business. Any sentence that has entered into a search engine is included in the price and keyword research tools (eg Google AdWords) allow us to share information about potential customers and markets to explore. The keyword research to a vocabulary of the entire content of your site that contain these words. For example, if your company is the hotel on the beach in Del Mar, California, addressed to "hotel on the beach in San Diego", "San Diego hotels on the coast", "Del Mar" and "Del Mar Beach," the "all content on your website. Not to mention the optimization of the "behind the scenes" SEO your website. Use keywords in a relevant image tags, meta descriptions and page titles that will make a difference.

Keyword Competition:

No keywords always go with the highest search volume. In general, the higher the search volume, competition. Try keywords in the center - with volumes of research that are not too high nor too low. For example, at the Hotel On the Beach in Del Mar, I did not know who the keyword "San Diego" to go, since it has 550 000 searches per month! The competition is high, so I focused on more specific terms, which are very important for my business.

H1 & H2 Headings:

Integrate important keywords in your h1 h2 titles (title of your website). In terms of search engine rankings, H1 and H2 tags are most valuable for SEO. Note that it is important that header tags are grammatically correct and useful to viewers. Stuffing keywords with H1 and H2 is ugly and can be penalized by Google. Be creative with these titles: the attention of the audience, but also includes keyword search.

Write Engaging Content for People:

Your e-trading website Tuesday, the basic content for the success of your website. Whether you ensure that all relevant text on Web pages Mar, and words to include in the natural way. Be personal, attractive, not only to the Baltic to write SEO ranking.

Insert Internal Links Throughout Your Website:

Linking to ensure your Web site for meetings and they are connected properly. This is the way to go, people to other pages on your web site to promote. For example, my # 9-pin (change algorithm), I linked this blog from Shane similar theme. "Pay attention to the recent changes to the algorithm, such as Google here." There is also an easy way to increase the strength of your website for search engines.

Create SEO-Friendly URLs:

URLs that are specifically related to the domain name rank higher in search engines. For example, if your business is a hotel, try to position your hotel (City), and incorporate the word "hotel" in the domain name. So if people want a hotel in place, occupied by the search engines. Get strategic with your URL.

Keep Website Content Up-To-Date:

No one likes stale content on a website. Search engines evaluate websites that are constantly updated with information and viewers to do so. Be consistent with your updates to your website. (PS blogs are great for this!)

SEO Tips Use your Facebook page:

SEO is relevant to the company Facebook page. Incorporate keywords for the "About", "Description of the company," and section "Description." Also make sure that your website and all other social media channels (like Twitter, YouTube, etc.) in the "Site" are listed. This is an easy way to promote your online presence and refers more traffic to your website.

Finally, pay attention to recent changes in the algorithm. Google wants to here. There are always new ideas that come into play for the search engines. Last year, called Google Panda, partly for the elimination of "thin content", which focuses on the overall credibility of a website to life. "Google suggests that site owners have put themselves in the role of users and demand:" I trust this site with a health problem or my credit card? "(See Matt's article for details.) He also announced recently showed new plan to use Google for SEO spam-related sites, the only effective SEO punished. It seems that the target candidates to Google sites have a larger chance of interesting content for organic search traffic and conversions. for sites with static content, attractive, which is promising.

Why SEO is Essential for Internet Marketing

With the incessant growth of the current Internet Marketing SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is more important than ever for small businesses.
