<br /><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; color: #444444; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Online marketing is a very large playing ground where you can easily find success if you stay ahead of your competitors. But one of the most important aspects that decides your success as an online marketer is how well you handle your time. If you can finish the key tasks without encountering anything bad, then you have tackled your main problem, which is generally procrastination. So if you wish to be a very successful online marketer, then time management should be your main focus. In this article, we are going to examine three general time management tips that you can apply and build up your internet marketing business.</p><br />
<br /><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; color: #444444; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">1) In order to control your time online, you must be willing to bend and not too rigid in your approach. In other words, you should be ready to accept a few changes here and there in your overall plan. You don’t have to plan things on a day to day basis. This is because you never know when and where you’ll have to customize the plan. This is why it is important that you keep in mind that the unexpected can happen and not make too many detailed plans. But, this should not have an impact on the goals of your overall online business.</p><br />
<br /><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; color: #444444; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">2) You also need to keep in mind that you also need to take a break from work. If you overwork yourself, you will be so stressed that it will end up working against you. You need to have time to unwind but also to get your work done on schedule so you will have to space your breaks accordingly. Sitting too long in front of a computer can affect the quality of your work over a period of time because it can cause stress both from a physical and a mental viewpoint. Balancing work time and break time is critical to properly managing your time. For example, you can work in 25 minute blocks followed by 5 minute breaks, or any other cycle you are comfortable with.</p><br />
<br /><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; color: #444444; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">3) Last but not the least; the reason you create your to-do list is because you want to be organized. This is why you should always mark off your tasks once you have finished them. This makes you feel good that they are completed and makes it simple for doing more tasks in the future. There are many times when just finishing and marking off the tiniest of jobs can make you feel wonderful, which is what is needed to motivate you.</p><br />
<br /><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; color: #444444; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">It is clear from this article that simple strategies can have an impact on how you manage your time. If you are just starting, you need to be prepared for the fact that it will take a while to get everything sorted out and in place. Getting started is the key. Procrastination is not a solution as things need to get done on time and there is no excuse for that. Make proper time management a habit by employing the ideas in this article.</p><br />

Very, very bad…about blogging. This is the first post I’ve written in November.</p><br />
<br /><p style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">You may have had a similar experience. Maybe you got busy with work. Maybe you haven’t had any great ideas. Maybe you feel like you’ve written about everything there is to write about. Fear not, my friend. Perhaps climbing out of my own blogging coma will help you conquer yours.</p><br />
<br /><p style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">Luckily, the blogosphere is a forgiving world. You may have missed out on some traffic, but it’s ok. Go ahead and pick up where you left off.</p><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><h3 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.3em; color: #333333; text-decoration: none; padding: 0px; margin: 30px 0px 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">You’re simply<em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>too</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em>busy</h3><br />
<br /><p style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">I understand, real work gets put ahead of blogging. But think about it this way: blogging is a form of marketing and another way to ensure you’ll continue having that work in weeks and months to come. Here are a few easy ways to get around the “time” issue:</p><br />
<br /><p style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;"><strong>Figure out what works for you.</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Is it easier to blog first thing in the morning? During lunch? At home? Over the weekend? Do you prefer writing just one post at a time? Or do you like to create several when inspiration strikes? Regardless, figure out the schedule that works for you…and do it!</p><br />
<br /><p style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;"><strong>Keep It Simple, Stupid.</strong> You don’t need a ground breaking, earth shattering blogpost every single time. Use resources like the questions your customers ask you every day for inspiration. Often times, the quick, easy, and simple posts are the best ones.</p><br />
<br /><p style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;"><strong>Now you’re just making things up.</strong> Most of us aren’t<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>too</em> busy to watch our favorite shows. Most of us aren’t<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>too</em> busy to catch the game. Try multi-tasking; if you can sit in front of the TV and watch the ball game and blog, then do it! Or, if you need peace and quiet, carve out 15 or 30 minutes and write your post. That’s why they invented DVR, right?</p><br />

<br /><br />
<br />What is the big difference between developing your website with Search Engine Optimization in place or by adding it on later? Will the results be the same? SEO is all about attracting traffic to your website. SEO can attract targeted people that are searching for your services or products.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />Keywords are the heart and soul of any SEO strategy. You need to do proper keyword research and select phrases that are highly relevant to your business and have good traffic volume. These are the phrases that people will be typing into Google to find your business. 99% of searchers online starts with a question and the web is all about information. What if you can provide answers to the people that are looking for your services or expertise?<br />
<br /><h2>How keywords works</h2><br />
<br />If your website can greet the people with the words that these people used to search for you, they will become more interested and at the same time more engaged with your website. Keywords are much more than how the search engine categorises your website. They are how people think about the services or products that you provide. Building in these keywords into every part of your website will allow you to better connect with potential prospects. This can also translate into higher conversion rates.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />The keywords and phrases you select should be built into the page names, URL’s, headlines, titles, and the navigation structure of your website. These keywords can also be used in your CTA’s.<br />
<br /><h2>Keyword planning</h2><br />
<br />What happens to your SEO campaign when it was not planned right from the beginning? When it is added later on, the keywords cannot be as deeply integrated in the core of your website. You might be successful in gaining traffic, but its conversion ability is lessened.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />For the best effect with your SEO plan, keyword planning should be started right in the beginning before you develop your website. This will allow you to connect in the best way with interesting people that came via the search engines to your website.<br />

Building in these keywords into every part of your website will allow you to better connect with potential prospects. This can also translate into higher conversion rates. The keywords and phrases you select should be built into the page names, URL’s, headlines, titles, and the navigation structure of your website. These keywords can also be used in your CTA’s. <h2>Keyword planning</h2> What happens to your SEO campaign when it was not planned right from the beginning? When it is added later on, the keywords cannot be as deeply integrated in the core of your website. You might be successful in gaining traffic, but its conversion ability is lessened. For the best effect with your SEO plan, keyword planning should be started right in the beginning before you develop your website. This will allow you to connect in the best way with interesting people that came via the search engines to your website. <strong><a href="http://peterzmijewski.com/google-logo-honors-art-clokey%E2%80%99s-birthday/">Peter Zmijewski</a> is the founder and CEO at KeywordSpy.

This change encrypts your search queries and Google’s results page.” Basically, Google is no longer passing data about users’ search behavior over the site they clicked on from the SERP.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />So what does this mean for website owners? Google spelled it out in the same blog post<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><strong><em>What does this mean for sites that receive clicks from Google search results? When you search from https://www.google.com, websites you visit from our organic search listings will still know that you came from Google, but won’t receive information about each individual query. They can also receive an aggregated list of the top 1,000 search queries that drove traffic to their site for each of the past 30 days through Google Webmaster Tools.</em></strong><br />
<br /><br />
<br />Understandably, the SEO community was more than a little nervous after this announcement. Being able to identify which keywords a person searched for before they arrived at a website is one of the most important pieces of information we have to make educated SEO recommendations for our clients. Website owners who manage their own SEO rely on this information as well. Targeting the right keywords is one of the fundamental musts of any SEO campaign. If we can’t see what search queries people are using to find our site, then we don’t know if we are targeting the right keywords! I don’t like to blindly pick and choose what keywords I think are best for a site without having the data to back it up.<br />
<br /><img class="alignright" title="How Will Encrypted Search Data Impact SEO?" src="http://www.brickmarketingconsulting.com/020603_1533_0034_osls.jpg" alt="" width="155" height="200" /><br />
<br />Matt Cutts, the director of web spam at Google, announced that Google estimates this change would impact less than 10% of searches being conducted on a daily basis, but I’ve heard grumblings among the search community that it might be much more. As for my own site, I noticed a significant jump in the number of “Not Provided” organic search visits. While it isn’t yet a percentage I feel I should be worrying about, if the trend continues I feel that I won’t be able to trust Google Analytics for vital SEO data!<br />
<br /><br />
<br />One of the reasons Google’s new and improved encrypted data is making many site owners nervous is because, even though Google is making the search experience more secure for users, they are also focusing on increasing the number of people with Google accounts. I have a Gmail account that I am almost constantly logged into on my home computer. That means most of my search behavior is being hidden 24-7 from the sites I visit! Droid phones require a Google account in order to be activated, meaning data from mobile devices is being limited as well.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />One of the more frustrating aspects of encrypted search is that it doesn’t affect PPC data, only organic search. Search data is still being provided for Google advertisers, even if someone that clicks on the ad is logged in to their Google account. It makes you wonder if Google is trying to kill two birds with one stone with encrypted search they make searching more secure for the users AND they get advertisers to spend more on their PPC campaigns just to get more accurate data that can be used in their SEO campaigns.<br />

<br /><br />
<br />Blogs are often rated one of the top content marketing tactics for attracting and engaging customers and eMarketer has reported blogs reach over 50% of the internet audience. But many companies fail to combine two of the most important tools for boosting relevant traffic and reach: Optimization for search engines and for social media.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />Most marketers and bloggers understand the basics of a good business blog and the notion of search engine optimization but often focus more on keywords than the customers that are actually searching. Adding keywords to blog posts is a common SEO tactic but developing a blog content plan around both search keywords and social topics that represent what customers care about can result in content that is inherently more search, social and customer media friendly.<br />
<br /><h3><span style="color: #800000;">The Business of Optimizing Social Media</span></h3><br />
<br />Social Media Optimization involves optimizing social content for topics of interest to both the brand and the communities they seek to engage. SMO also focuses on the ability for social communities to share links and media they find interesting. Links to content shared on social networks and media sites can drive direct traffic to blog content and serve as a signal that search engines use for ranking blog web pages.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />Essentially, socialized and optimized blog content can drive traffic through search and those visitors can share that content through social channels, driving even more traffic. Social sharing can also impact better search visibility, providing more relevant visitors that are actively looking.<br />
<br /><h3><span style="color: #800000;">Search and Social Media Friendly</span></h3><br />
<br />As Internet marketers have emphasized making websites search engine friendly over the past 10 years, the importance of making websites and blogs social media friendly is also important. Great blog content isn’t really great until it’s consumed and shared, so consider how your customers find information online that is most likely to inspire them to do what you want them to do.<br />
<br /><h3><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #800000;">A Better Business Blog Strategy</span></span></h3><br />
<br />To get more out of the opportunity to improve online discovery of business blog content, here are a few key questions to ask for an “Optimize and Socialize” blog strategy:<br />
<br /><ul><br />
<br /> <li>Who is the blog intended to influence? Prospects, customers, employees, industry analysts, reporters, bloggers.</li><br />
<br /> <li>What content will your blog offer that will meet target audience needs?</li><br />
<br /> <li>How will addressing those customer needs and telling the brand story manifest as a blog content plan?</li><br />
<br /> <li>What search keywords and social topics are relevant to your target audience?</li><br />
<br /> <li>Where does your blog content fit in the customer lifecycle of communication with the brand?</li><br />
<br /> <li>If the blog content is properly optimized and socialized, how will it influence measurable business outcomes.</li><br />
<br /></ul><br />

<br /><br />
<br />Comments are one of the many metrics used to measure the success of a blog. If your blog isn’t getting any comments, you’re probably not doing too well.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><strong>Here are 5 reasons nobody is commenting on your blog. </strong><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><strong>You’re playing it safe</strong> – If you never take a side on an issue or stir up any sort of debate, people won’t have a reason to leave a comment. You need to appeal to your readers’ emotions so they’ll get fired up and want to share their thoughts on the topic at hand.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><strong>You’re not asking for comments</strong> — It’s simple, but effective. Ask your readers to leave a comment. Treat it like a call to action. When you ask someone to do something, they’re likelier to do it.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><strong>You do a poor job moderating comments</strong> – Why would anyone leave a comment if you take forever to approve comments or if your comment section is riddled with spam? You have to be an active moderator if you want to give people a good reason to interact in the replies.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><strong>You make it too hard to comment</strong> — The harder it is to leave a comment, the fewer comments you’ll get. If you require the reader to register for an account before he can comment, you’re going to miss out on a lot of potential comments. Also, if you require the reader to complete a CAPTCHA before their comment can be approved, you could lose more comments because sometimes those images are just too hard to understand.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><strong>You’re not getting any traffic</strong> — We conclude with what’s probably the most obvious reason you’re not getting any blog comments, because you’re also not getting any traffic! Just because you have a blog and post great content doesn’t mean that readers will automatically come. You have to take the time to promote your posts effectively. Spread them to your audience using Facebook, Twitter, blog carnivals, emails, and other tactics.<br />

<br /><p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.kwagullc.com/makemoney/images/why_internet_marketing_is_crucial_to_your_business.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="299" /></p><br />
<br /><br />
<br />Marketing campaign, they may already be marketing their products and services on the Internet. This article will examine some subtle ways business owners may already be marketing their business on the Internet.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />Do you have a web site for your company? Business managers that respond yes to this question are already marketing their items or services online just by virtue of the fact that they have a website online. Having a live web site indicates there is the potential for unique Internet customers to access your web site. You might not be actively developing your web site yet you might still find that your internet site produces interest in your products despite the shortage of promotional endeavors; this is a form of passive marketing.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />Do you actively join message boards and include a link to your website in your signature? Again business owners who answer yes to this question are already marketing their website online. Savvy business owners realize the importance of participation in industry related message boards to create an interest in their products and services, establish themselves as knowledgeable about the industry and offer a link to their own website even if it is in the signature line of their posts.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />However, even business owners who do not realize this may already be inadvertently enjoying the benefits of Internet marketing which result from message board participation just by doing something they enjoy and may be doing as a form of leisure activity.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />Do you add key phrases which are relevant to your company in the content of your internet site? Company owners that answer yes to this question are additionally already targeting the Web by optimizing their website for these keywords. These search engine optimization (SEO) affects the internet sites whether or not they were even informed of the philosophy of keyword density as well as how it can easily assist to SEO an internet site. Business managers will likely use specific words regularly depending on the type of products as well as services they offer merely since it is natural as well as logical to do so.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />This tendency, however, can result in search engines boosting your website rankings for these particular keywords. The concept of SEO is much more involved and complex than simply using keywords frequently but business owners can gain some benefit just by naturally applying relevant keywords to their website.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />Do you get suggestions from your customers on the web? This is but another example of just how business owners may be accidentally marketing their company on the Internet. Many business managers understand the relevance of soliciting suggestions from customers for business purposes as well as business managers that offer products online may solicit feedback in the form of internet surveys. Although the business owners may be doing this simply for a business reason the fact that it is done internet makes it fall into the category of Web marketing.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />We have actually already talked about several ways in which business managers might already be marketing online yet what about company managers who want to have actually a raised online presence? Company managers that may already be marketing online inadvertently might wish to launch a complete scale Web marketing campaign. The finest way to do this is to employ a consultant by having experience in Internet marketing to assist you in designing a campaign which is effective for your target audience.<br />

<br /><br />
<br />It seems like the controversial Google Panda update has gone beyond its traditional English market updates and went on to conquer other markets. We all remember how Google Panda was feared in America when it struck just a few months ago, and the dreary results it promised local users, as it invalidated the black hat techniques of many web content makers and re-ranked search results based on a new criteria especially designed according to site trustworthiness.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />Now there also have been updates in other markets, and, as it was announced that there would be algorithmic search improvements as well for different languages. Such a change would have an impact of 6 - 9% of queries to some degree that will be noticeable to a user. This will be quite low compared to the first launch of Panda, which has made an effect on 12% of English queries, to some degree.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />There already has been a big growth for rankings in markets abroad, and this has been proven to be more greatly profitable for years to come. With this in mind, the Google Panda update has seemed to be something a lot of people could pick up on. As things seem to be on track for Google, one could let down their guard easily. But success has proven not to be lasting. In diversifying your optimization efforts and pinning your focus on different traffic channels, algorithm switches could be handled.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />Now that you have noticed such a trend for SEO updates, it may be time for you to strengthen your SEO campaign using a strong and effective keyword research tool. KeywordSpy, for example, indexes data from different nations, and covers different languages as a result. In that manner, you can get the words you need. You could spot keywords used by websites based in countries as far as Sweden and Malaysia, as well as find out keywords that are strong in the languages used in those nations, so such is a possibility.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />Keep in mind though, that just like what happened in the US regarding the update, you need to concentrate on solidifying your content, and using the keywords in making your content more searchable. Make sure you address all the questions presented earlier in the Google Panda criteria just as discussed in prior write-ups, and you stand a lesser risk of getting affected in the search engine standings.<br />
