Twitter – A New Approach to Internet Marketing

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Twitter has emerged as one of the most exciting and popular social media and social networking sites. The growing popularity of Twitter has made it a hot favorite among companies to use it for social media marketing. This new form of Internet marketing has revolutionized advertising by doubling the impact of marketing and reducing the marketing costs significantly. Apart from Internet marketing, the service also serves as a platform, enabling companies to reach out to potential customers. Search engine professionals are also using this opportunity to add a new dimension to their seo services. They are using Twitter to gain better exposure through tweets and drive traffic toward their companies and businesses.
Although Twitter has grown extremely popular in a short period of time, people are still curious whether it can be used as an appropriate platform for promoting businesses. Many think that the platform is more ideal for personal interactions. Twitter displays the complete profile details along with the users associated in the network. Statistics also show that 90% of tweets are posted by a mere 10% of Twitter users as against other social networking sites where these 10% users post only a 30% of the total content. Thus, tweets about a certain company are like an open invitation to join the discussion or just listen to it. A lot of valuable data and information can be derived from this thread of discussion and used for the improvement of the business. Once the potential users are targeted, you can start communicating with them and reach out to them directly.
It’s a great tool, or platform to add a new dimension to your business altogether and improve the revenue as well improve search engine optimization and achieve SEO goals simultaneously.

SEO – Importance of Domain Names

Monday, September 29th, 2008

The other day I stumbled upon an article which gave tips on how to choose a domain name and how important is the presence of keywords in the domain name or URLs. I just skimmed through it and here’s what I feel would be a good domain.

Short and keyword rich
If you have SEO in mind then a good domain name is very important for your business. First and foremost it should have your keyword. In addition, it should be short and easy to remember. Being in the SEO industry I can safely say that URL’s of pages and the anchor text of links linking to these pages play an important role in Search Engine Optimization or SEO. The presence of an appropriate keyword in the domain name will do no harm to your SEO campaign as most webmasters generate links by making use of the business name in the anchor text. This will make sure that your keyword is present in the anchor text as well as the URL.

Long may do
There may be a possibility that you don’t get a short domain name which incorporates your most general keyword. In this case a long domain name (not more than 3-4 words) can be considered. For example let us assume that you are an internet marketing service provider and you can’t get a domain by the name of internetmarketing.com. Here a domain name such as internetmarketingusa.com may also serve the purpose as it gives an idea of your business and geographical location.

Country TLD may be useful
These days major search engines like Google have separate sites for each country and they give importance to the sites which are hosted locally. In this case a country code top level domain would be ideal for a business owner who wants to target a select geographic location. Let’s say that you want to sell a certain product or service only in the UK then in that case a domain.co.uk would be best suited for you.

Some may argue that in choosing a domain name with keywords you compromise on the branding, but I feel that’s the risk worth taking because good conversions are more important than branding.

Search Engine Optimization for Shopping Carts

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

E-commerce site owners often complain, that inspite of having tons of products in their catalogue it is often just the front page that ranks for keywords.

I have come across several internet marketing managers who have engages services of SEO firms but haven’t been successful at getting their entire catalogues indexed.

The reason in most cases is the same – The SEO firms have created landing pages for their popular products/categories and linked them from the front page. The result – The site starts ranking for some keywords related to these products.

The ideal solution to optimizing an e-commerce website or making a search engine friendly shopping cart is to modify the URL structure of the shopping cart so that it automatically churns out static SEO friendly URLs. Going a step further, optimization logic needs to be included in the titles, meta tags and other content and the URLs need to be linked intelligently so as to create an optimized mesh structure.

All this will lead to a majority of the shopping cart pages getting indexed by search engines and thus enable you to target the long tail, which can increase your traffic several times.
