Pushing the Freeline As a Marketing Strategy
If you’ve been around the marketing community for any length of time, you’ve likely heard the ‘experts’ mention ‘pushing the freeline’. This basically means providing high quality products and services to qualified prospects for free in a bid to convert them into customers later down the line.

Even more importantly, the search engines won’t be able to distinguish what it is you are trying to sell and therefore won’t be able to rank it well for any of your products.

Therefore, you need to spend as least as much time building access routes to your website, just like roads are built to a city, as you spend on the design of it, and the content for it.

Positive Entrepreneurial Attitude = Recipe for Success
It’s widely accepted that a positive attitude can give you a happier and healthier life, but it’s less widely known that it can also help to make your business more successful.
Entrepreneurs need many qualities to be successful, with one of the most important being persistence. Even if they fail at something, they need to have the persistence to treat it as a learning experience, pick themselves up and keep moving forward.

Essentials of Website Marketing
Marketing costs are turning out to be more than production costs as it still has the ability to take products and services to a new high, or make them completely fail. Without marketing, a product might as well not even exist. At the same time, clients and consumers do not have enough time to go around looking for everything that is offered.

Viral Marketing Tips
Viral marketing is a lot like a high stakes poker game -- there's a small financial cost, a massive branding cost, and some huge potential payoffs.

Effective Anchor Text To Improve Rankings
The 'anchor text' is the keyword or key phrase you use when linking from some another website to your own. This is the hyperlinked text that is visible to the human eye. In order to improve your search engine rankings, make sure you also focus on which anchor texts you are using when building links back to your website.
To see an example of how powerful this anchor text is, go to Google and do a search for the phrase "click here". At the time of this writing, there are over 1 billion results when searching for that phrase. It would be almost impossible to get anywhere near the top of those results. This spot is currently held by the adobe site, due to the fact that many websites have linked to the adobe site with the phrase "click here".
Google Analytics
Internet marketing efforts need to be tracked so you know if you are using your resources wisely. Google analytics is a good, free tool you can use to track traffic sources, conversion rates, etc.
Make sure you have Google analytics or at least some other type of analytics installed on your website.
Traffic Sources
You want to know where your traffic is coming from and where it is not coming from. This will help you allocate your resources properly. Google Analytics is able to track where your site visitors are coming from, where they go on your site, etc.
The Effects of Spam on Business
Spam, or junk email, is one of the largest frustrations for Internet users. For businesses, this frustration adds up to dollars lost and spent trying to prevent it. Reports estimate that spam costs U.S. businesses more than $71 billion in lost productivity annually, which equates to $712 per employee. I'm sure most businesses, especially in the economy's current state, can think of a better use for those dollars.
The thing that makes spam a unique, and subsequently the reason it increases every year, is that the cost of email is placed on the receiver rather than the sender. With traditional direct-mail, a person or company spends money on every piece sent. Think about the amount of junk mail you receive every day at your home and business. Now imagine if each piece of mail did not have a hard-cost for the sender — we would all need much larger mailboxes.
Energize Your Email Marketing Campaigns
Email marketing has grown tremendously over the years and it can benefit your business substantially. As with any type of marketing, it takes a great deal of time and effort to insure it is working effectively.
There are many types of email marketing such as sending out periodical newsletters/ezines, sending out promotional emails and product updates, tutorials, etc.
Regardless of which type of campaign you utilize, one important thing you must do is continually evaluate the effectiveness of it. Do not let your email marketing go stale. You need to keep it alive, fresh and energized.
Below are 10 ways you can help energize your email marketing campaign:
Viral Marketing Tips
Viral marketing is a lot like a high stakes poker game — there's a small financial cost, a massive branding cost, and some huge potential payoffs.
Extending it even further, once the cards are dealt and the marketing message is out of the bag, there's no way to retract it, no way to push it further, and no way to turn a partial failure into a success. Everything rests on the quality of the hand — in this case, the video or marketing message — and everything extends from the initial bet.
If you're building a viral marketing strategy, invest in these nuggets of wisdom and make sure that they're part of the DNA of your campaign. These five tips aren't poker tips, but they'd surely translate.

Track and Test Your Ad Campaigns
Traditional advertising methods, such as television and print, have seen a sharp decline in recent years. A big part of this is due to the rise of Internet advertising, as well as other more efficient forms of direct or online marketing.

Improve Your Online Reputation
Practicing online reputation management is a must for any public relations professional who believes his or her company may face a corporate crisis in the future. As our news gathering and reporting moves online, online reputation management is becoming more important. Now, news stories and blogs are being indexed by search engines, and many times, if a company makes the news, that can sometimes be the first item found in the search engine rankings.
Proactive PR is important for online reputation management, because it means you are creating positive search engine results results, which can keep negative search results from ever appearing. You can focus on positive content-generating activities, rather than putting out fires via reactive management.
Is It A Bad Time To Start A Business?
The current recession is still being felt all over the planet. Money is tighter than before for most people. Potential entrepreneurs are more cautious when thinking about starting a new business. However, business experts say that a recessionary period such as this can lead to great opportunities to find success by starting a new business or trying to improve an existing one.
Many people have the misconception that starting a new business while a global recession is still in effect will make their money just go down the drain.

Existing businesses can improve their market share by developing an effective marketing plan and sticking with it.

Mobile Marketing Growing in the US
Mobile marketing is the act of reaching directly to consumers through SMS messaging, leveraging the growing number of mobile phone owners and users. It is predicted to be the next major global technology phenomenon, and to a certain extent it is already used across Europe and Asia by businesses of all sizes to deliver targeted messages on a wholesale scale. Mobile business consultants and service providers already have access to the frameworks for dealing with SMS text marketing, yet still the US market remains behind much of the rest of the world in this method.

Search Engine Optimization – Content is Still King
As many experts in the internet SEO field put it – "content is the king" of search engine optimization. Unfortunately, according to most recent surveys, few people in the field focus on the text content when applying SEO techniques to websites. In fact, most people only concentrate on link building to attract more traffic instead of actually providing internet users with a useful and informative website. It would be a more effective strategy to focus on your text and content optimization, which is arguably the most important part of online SEO.

Re-Evaluate Your Market Niche
Due to the tough current economic times, there are businesses going into bankruptcy everywhere. In a time of prosperity, people rush to buy the latest electronic gadget or to get the latest accessories, sometimes even one for each change of season. So, even though your market niche may have done well when the economy was good, you may have noticed a decrease in sales. What's going on? Don't assume that this is a product of the economic recession; instead, be proactive and try to determine what factors are affecting your sales. It could be the economy, but it could also be various other factors: A shifting demographic, sales strategies that don't necessarily work in a downturn, or an ineffective advertising campaign.
Enhancing Your Social Media Presence
One of the biggest challenges facing online marketers is the wall that often gets set up between discussion and marketing. With social media platforms quickly becoming the most popular properties on the web, more and more people are expecting two-way conversation from their online resources.
Sadly, online advertising is struggling to keep up. While banner advertisements and PPC marketing is still in full swing, it is slowly losing effectiveness to a new kind of marketing: the direct, two-way social media message.
New Media Marketing is Now Affordable to the Smallest of Businesses
Both email marketing and mobile marketing have risen in popularity amongst business owners due to its effectiveness as a means of building customer loyalty and increasing revenue. Until very recently, the costs made them prohibitive to all but the largest corporate players, and as such the market (certainly for mobile marketing) remains largely untapped to this day. Direct marketing using these methods has undergone a revolution in recent years. It has finally come to the forefront as a successful and affordable way to market to targeted individuals.

Alternative Strategies to Market Your Business Venture
Name any business which sprouted from nowhere and went on to become a number-crunching machinery, running high on a steady flow of profit. Be it Starbucks or KFC, every business enterprise started off as a small one in size of the capital invested. To make a business go big, one doesn't necessarily need a huge capital investment as much as he needs a business vision. It's the vision that makes all the difference. Colonel Sanders or Zoe Siegl always dreamt big and had a plan to follow up that dream into reality. Don't expect your business to create a market sensation unless you know the trick of finding products for your customers.

New Technology Taking Mobile Marketing to New Levels
With so many technological advances in recent years, almost all of us have been influenced greatly by the conveniences these technologies bring. Many of us can't imagine doing without devices that weren't even in existence only a few years ago. This has opened up new opportunities for businesses and individuals to capitalize on these trends in order to become successful.
This new era has also allowed even the smallest businesses to remove the geographical limitations from their online marketing efforts in order to become truly 'global' entities. These businesses are able to undertake new strategies that are low cost and incredibly effective.
Four Easy Ways to Boost Email Subscribers
You have set up your mailing list, put an opt-in form on your website, but you've still got no subscribers.
What gives? Setting up your mailing list is only half the battle; the other half is all about marketing it effectively. Even though your email contact list is a marketing asset in itself, it requires real effort and dedicated promotional muscle to make it as valuable as it can be.
For some, that is where the entire exercise becomes too much work. Many marketers are out to make fast money, and tend to give little thought to the long-term prospects that a good list can generate.

Appearing Natural to the Search Engines
As any SEO blog will tell you, there is a real emphasis on appearing 'natural'. What is meant by 'natural' is to structure your link building in such as way as to make it appear completely unforced – to make it look to search engines like your site has merited links from a diverse range of sources, using diverse anchor text and linking to a range of internal pages. This is harder than it seems, and the sophistication of Google in particular makes it even harder to pull off. So what info do you need to optimize your site in a way that won't obviously flag the attention of the search engine algorithms?
Building a User Friendly Website
I clenched my fist and wanted to punch the screen, I was that angry. While searching for a missing part to my workout machine, I stumbled upon a Website that claimed to offer the elusive part for sale. The layout of this site was so confusing, I literally got dizzy trying to navigate through it. It would have been easier to find my way out of a giant kaleidoscope with binoculars on. After a few short minutes of this nightmare, I finally left the site for good.
Sadly, websites like this are all too common. Far too many times with the sites I visit, it is almost impossible to find my way around, or even tell what the site is actually about. In many cases I simply leave. This is obviously not the action want you want from your visitors.
Do-It-Yourself Marketing
Do-It-Yourself Marketing marketing does not have to be costly or complex. Start with a simple marketing plan and incorporate one or more of these tips on a consistent basis.
Provide valuable information
1. Be interesting and informative online, in print, and in person.

3. Post valuable information in your blog, in your company newsletter, and on your Web site.
Facebook Marketing Tactics
There are about ten common Facebook marketing tactics. (You can probably think of more, but most are a derivative of one of these ten.) It may surprise you to learn that five of these tactics don't even work — that's fully half! Now, no Fire God will suddenly appear to smite you if you happen to have done one of the following things. They are definitely mistakes, but they aren't irreversible. In fact, they're really only mistakes in one sense of the word. Read the rest here.
