There are many reasons why social media marketing is effective.
The first may seem rather obvious, and that is that social media marketing is free (unless you are paying a consultant). The only cost involved is time, but the amount of traffic you can generate makes it worthwhile. Another advantage of social media marketing is that you get quick results, as the content you develop can be viewed by thousands of people the same day you post it.
This makes it a great option for launching a new blog or site and getting attention right away. The flexibility of social media also makes it attractive. Thanks to the wide variety of social media sites you are sure to find a niche that matches up with your marketing needs. From social news sites to networking and bookmark sites, you have many choices and you’re never committed to using the sames sites repeatedly if they aren’t working for you.

Copywriting is the art of writing in a way that sells products. The primary concern of a copywriter isn’t branding, it’s conversion rate: the percentage of people who buy after seeing your sales page.
Even if you’ve never written a sales page before, learning the basics will allow you to greatly increase your selling power.
This five minute crash course will show you how to use one of the oldest and most proven copywriting formulas in advertising history: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action (AIDA).
==> Attention
The first and most important step in the copywriting formula is attention. Attention is the first impression. Can you catch your readers’ attention in five seconds or less?
The best way to catch attention is through a strong headline. Your headline should speak directly to your readers’ needs and make a bold promise that keeps them reading more.
Most copywriters spend an inordinately high amount of their copywriting time on the headline. Why? Because if you don’t catch their attention, nothing else you write matters. Your headline should get someone to stop whatever they’re doing and pay attention. read more…

Ever since smartphones began taking off, mobile SEO has been getting more and more attention. Today, with over 200 million smartphones in circulation, mobile SEO is more important than ever before.
Throw in the Apple 4S and the Siri, which pulls the majority of its results from local searches, and the picture becomes quite clear: if you operate a local business, you can no longer afford to ignore mobile SEO.
What exactly does mobile SEO entail? How can you improve your mobile SEO?
==> Traditional Factors Matter
Mobile SEO utilizes some of the traditional SEO factors, as well as quite a few non-traditional ones.
To start with, you need to get a lot of backlinks to your website. These backlinks should be from well-established websites that already have solid reputations.
Unlike regular websites, however, you want to get backlinks from websites that are also based in your geographical area. This tells Google (and Apple) that you really are a local reputable business.
==> Citations and Google Places
Local searches don’t just depend on backlinks. They also depend on citations and your Google Places results.
A citation is the information contained on other web directories like the Yellow Pages or CitySearch. Your address, phone number, website information and so on should be the same across all these websites. This helps Google verify that you are who you say you are. read more…

In recent years, SEO has gone through many tumultuous changes. From the Panda update which uprooted many sites to the implementation of social metrics, it’s clear that SEO ranking factors aren’t staying stagnant. However, in spite of all these changes, the underlying fundamentals of SEO haven’t changed.
These immutable fundamentals have been the same from the early days of SEO until now. In fact, they’ve only become more and more important as search engines have gotten smarter and smarter.
These are the four immutable laws of SEO.
==> Law #1: Content Is King
Google’s goal since day one has been to help the best content on the web find its way to the top of the search engines. As Google gets smarter, it’s only going to do this better and better.
Trying to game the system is not a very good long-term strategy. It’s extremely, extremely rare for people to be able to game search engines for any real length of time.
Instead, the best way to get ranked in the long run is to provide content that people genuinely like and want to share. This will generate organic backlinks, which Google loves.
==> Law #2: Think Long Term
Short-term SEO thinking is not only ineffective, it’s also extremely unhealthy.
People who try to get ranked in weeks rather than months inevitably get burned.
The methods you employ when you’re thinking long term versus short term are different. In the long run, you’ll lay much more solid foundations with long-term thinking than if you were just trying to get ranked as fast as possible.
Get in the habit of thinking in six months to a year in terms of your SEO goals. read more…

The main goal for most business owners online would be to try and get as many visitors as they possibly can. This can be very easy for some while it can be an impossible task for others.
The problem really lies in your strategy and the things that you post about. Is it worth reading? Is it something that people will click on if they read it on Facebook? Will they be happy that they read that article?
Create Good Content
If you want more visitors, you will need to focus on being able to bring them back.
There is nothing worse then having a thousand visitors and then never having them come back.
Creating good content will make sure that your visitors will come back for more. This is a better thing to focus on as long term success should be the goal. read more…
