The Power Behind the Right Web Development Department
Comments off · Posted by Sean in Business Websites, E-Marketing, Online Marketing
The right internet marketing campaign is only as good as the person who is developing the strategies. Many web developers have tried and failed to execute the right kind of SEO campaign because they do not have the tools necessary to build a winning strategy. Without a professional Web development Department, many professionals feel as though they still have the knowledge to keep up with all of the latest changes in terms of Google algorithms. Although many internet marketing professionals have access to a Helpdesk department Admin department, the sheer stubbornness keeps the SEO professional from using all available resources. This obviously leads to an unsuccessful internet marketing strategy and leaves the website without any unique visitors.
A website is only as good as the amount of users that visit the site. Going one step further, the website is only as good as the amount of users that actually click through the site. This means that a site can only serve its purpose if internet users are actually visiting the site. This is achieved by a properly executed search engine optimization campaign. In theory, it is quite simple to build a strong SEO strategy, but the reality is the foundation is only as strong as the team that helps to execute the strategy. Any type of Accounts Department, SEO or otherwise, is the foundation that leads to a professional internet marketing strategy.
The fundamentals behind search engine optimization are not difficult. Link building and article marketing are not complicated tasks when it comes to understanding how to employ the tasks. The problem lies in the amount of time it takes to execute the tasks. A proper link building strategy takes time and discipline, and most internet entrepreneurs are short on both. Article marketing requires a specific kind of discipline, especially when trying to develop the proper web copy. Keyword phrase density, long-tail keywords and keyword placement are only a small part of the proper type of content, but are vital to ranking high on the major search engines. Trying to accomplish both feats alone is trying enough, and generally means the demise of the website.
Anyone who has access to a Web development department must use the skills that are available within the team. This will ensure that the website is fully optimized which is the ultimate goal of any internet marketing strategy.

Twitter + Domain Name + Website Content = A Strong Package
Comments off · Posted by Domain Express in Domain Name, Online Marketing, Successful Website, web hosting
You’re probably wondering: “What does Twitter have to do with my domain name or your website content?” The simple answer is this: separate elements of your online presence should not just relate back to your business, but should relate to each other.
Each of these three things plays a different role in the success of your website and your web hosting experience.
- Domain name is an important initial draw to the website: it sums up what the site is about.
- Website content fleshes out what you have to offer: it fills in the details and provides useful information.
- Twitter (and other social networking) builds the relationship: it’s a way to reach out to customers, and to let them reach out to you.
When you buy domain names (or receive free domain names from a UK hosting company, which some do offer), take a step back to make sure all of the elements of your company’s online presence will be aligned. For example, you should buy a domain name that clearly and succinctly relates to the content the website will contain. Your Twitter handle should be a close match to your domain name. And the things you Tweet about should be related to the things your website content addresses.
This may sound obvious, but you’d be surprising how many companies’ web presence are “all over the place” – be smart by thinking ahead and presenting a cohesive brand in everything you do, both online and off.

Three Tips for Effective Social Media Marketing
Comments off · Posted by Sam Ford in Domain Names Registration, Online Marketing, social media marketing
As everyone knows, marketing can be wildly successful or incredibly ineffective. Having a plan and knowing the right way to go about something can make all the difference in the world. After you’ve mastered the practical elements of creating an online presence (domain name registration, finding good web hosting, etc.) it’s time to start interacting with your online community.
Here are three tips for effective social media marketing:
- Emphasize “social”. This isn’t a place for advertising. People want to be talked to and listened to. They’re not going to “fan” or “follow” you so that you can pitch ads to them all the time. Make sure you communicate accordingly.
- Double-task when possible. Social media is a good way to build natural SEO since you’re putting up regular postings anyway. Don’t jam with keywords, but incorporate keywords and links on occasion, where appropriate. It can’t hurt.
- Stay consistent. Remember, just because it’s “social” marketing, this doesn’t mean you can be un-professional. If your marketing angle is that you’re a community-oriented family business, don’t post a political joke on Facebook. If your marketing angle is that you’re helpful and sincere, stay helpful and sincere and don’t post complaints about anything on Twitter. The internet isn’t anonymous when you represent a business, so don’t do yourself more harm than good.

How To Achieve Great Online Marketing
Comments off · Posted by Sam Ford in Domain Name, Domain Names Registration, Online Marketing, Starting a Website
Marking for an online business is not exactly the same as traditional marketing for a business in your community. But while the mediums are different, many of the same principles apply. In fact, the internet provides an opportunity to have an even closer marketing relationship with actual individuals than print marketing allows. Used together, they can be particularly effective.
Principals of good marketing:
- Present a cohesive message. You want your company’s image to be clear and easy to understand. Remember, you’re not just selling a product or service; you’re selling your company.
- Keep it fresh. This means billboards that aren’t out-of-date, and social media marketing that keeps up with the times. Stay present and active to show you have a business that is active as well.
For online marketing, everything you do is a part of your branding endeavor, even the very first step: choosing to buy a domain name. Yes, even the domain name registration matters, as your domain name will tell both site visitors and search engines what kind of website you’re running. Keep this attention to detail up within every choice you make, and you’ll be well on your way to successful online marketing of your website in no time.
