Internet Marketing is a very complex domain, involving SEO, PPC, Email Marketing, Banner advertisement and so much more. Articles and tips about all these domains can be found here, and will help you in your online journey for sure.
When I started my online experience I was such a noob. I had just a couple if ideas on what SEO and programing meant, but i was eager to learn. Thus, i used to read a lot. Some things were worthwhile, but most of them were just crap.
Now, after a couple of years, i believe i’ve learn my lesson: read less and practice more . I do agree you have to try to accumulate information at the beginning, but try to keep your suorces number low and try to pick only the credible ones. And then, go practice what you’ve read about. Cause that’s the only real way you can learn things.
And one more thing. You won’t find those information that will allow you to earn good money online from others, unless you’re a friend of them or something. Because they’re not going to show you their money making schemes, at least not for free. Thus, you have to practice and fail, and then start again and maybe fail again. Cause in the end you’re learn and you’ll prevail. Just my humble opinion.
I’ve been using LinledIn for quite a while now, almost from the beginning. I completed my profile, education, work experience, added a photo, added some contact, etc etc . I even joined some groups to find discussion i might be interested in and people with similar interests.
It’s a well known fact that whenever you change a site from the ground, bounce rate will reach sky-high limits. Especially if you have lots of returning visitors who are used to find things in a certain position on the site. So, a solution is required in order to smooth the transition between the old site and the new one.
And there is one, but I didn’t find it used on too many sites: make a video that should be placed on key pages of your site and should explain how you changed stuff and why, and also how users can find the things they’re looking for.
This video should be embedded on your site in visible position and should be eye catching, so users will click it. For example, if you have an IT site, use a cute girl or something (geek girls are always catchy. look at Veronica Belmont or Marina Orlova ). If you’re a fashion site with lots of feminine visitors, use a well dressed boy or something. You’ll find a suitable solution.
I made my twitter account in 2007, but i only started tweeting actively for a month or so. Why? Cause at that time i didn’t consider Twitter worth my time. But i was wrong and that’s why i’m going to write a couple of posts about Twitter and what i found during this last month of using it.
First,what is Twitter? The answer is simple: a microblogging platform where you can write 140 characters long posts. Not longer. So, whenever you have something to say and it’s not worth blogging about, you can tweet it. Something that bothers you, something interesting you just found out about, something weird… whatever comes through your mind and is worth sharing can be tweeted.
SEM, aka Search Engine Marketing, is the "knowledge" of bringing targeted visitors to a certain site. And, as perhaps many of you know, SEM is composed by two somehow distinct parts: SEO and PPC. In this little article that was inspired by this great article here (Careful, it’s in Romanian), I’m going to put in balance the pros and the cons of each of these methods.
Let’s start with SEO. First, the definition.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is " the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. (source)"
This might have seemed an utopia a couple of years ago, but Search ads now have over 50% of the total online ads spending. This affirmation is available for the US (as the latest Morgan Stanley report says), and maybe for UK (not sure though) and a couple of other big online markets.
As you can see in the picture bellow, things were a little different 5 years ago. Search Advertising had just 15% market share, while Banner ads were the big thing, with 47%. In just 3 years, from 2002 to 2005, things changed drastically. Let’s see why.
As i said yesterday in the Morgan Stanley post , there are a couples of things i found interesting in this report and i decided to share them and blog a little bit around the subjects. And today I’m going to present a graph that presents what’s hot on the Internet right now, what are the web applications and domains that saw the highest raises last year.
