Be Sociable - Increasing Online Traffic Through Social Media Marketing
So what do we mean by social media? As the Internet has evolved increasing numbers of people have taken to sharing ideas, opinions and experiences through a combination of text, blogs, audio, video and message boards etc. More recently RSS and podcasts have also captured the imagination of many in their lust to get their message out to a wide audience. Social media has lead to a revolution in the way many people now interact and learn about world events. The repercussions are that the views of media giants are no longer taken for granted. Now almost anyone can put forward their perspective on any issue they wish. Some organisations have been quick to catch on and realise how their products or services can be promoted by this phenomenon, a kind of social marketing mix unlike anything which as gone before.
One of the simplest ways to begin social media marketing is by creating your own MySpace page. MySpace offers anyone the option to build a free web page where you can share your ideas or express your views in a particular topic. By inviting friends who share similar interests it's possible to quickly build a cult like community while covertly linking them to your own website.
The social web revolves around sharing opinions…..be they good or bad. With this in mind, websites that are packed full of content can lever recommendations from readers in the form of bookmarking. Bookmarking has become popular with some web users who'll share their lists with others who have a common interest. Assuming your website has some decent content, bookmarking sites such as Digg, Technorati, Del.icio.us and Reddit provide downloadable code and links etc that'll soon get you stated. A wise alternative is to link up to AddThis.com, which will then save you alienating those with a bookmarking preference by giving access to numerous bookmarking sites in one go.
A great method of keeping users up to date with your content is to set up a RSS feed. Otherwise known as Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Syndication, RSS provides a notification to users that new content has been added to your site thereby keeping your visitors up to speed with new developments or product launches and so on.
Enabling people to communicate directly through your website is at the core of social media and forums can be a great way of providing just that. The best forums are well managed but not overly censored. Both good and bad comments should be encouraged. While it's easy to assume that bad comments are best filtered out, leaving them in gives the forum greater credibility. A well managed forum provides an excellent, not to mention free, means of gathering customer feedback and carrying out market research etc. To give a forum momentum you may need to regularly stimulate discussion by starting new topics and by spending some regular time weeding out the spam and nonsense.
Showing your expertise through video is a clever way of grabbing an audience. Sometimes the only real way to demonstrate something is in a visual form. If you are dealing with something computerised it could be worth considering using screen capture software where you can easily take people through a lifelike demo. Video can be downloaded from your own website or posted on sites like YouTube for instance. Its always good to stamp your video with you website address so people know where it originated from. If your video impresses people they may want to seek you out. In much the same way still photographs, graphics and audio can be posted to websites; again not forgetting some kind of link back to your own website.
Lastly but by no means least you can get social media savvy by creating a blog. In essence blogs are little more than short articles often centred on current affairs, similar to writing a column for a newspaper. If you set up a blog it requires regular updating. Much like running a forum people expect blogs to evolve preferably on a daily basis. The biggest no no is to be lame on updates as any audience you've gained will soon be lost.

Search Engine History
The whole internet owes its origins to work done for the US military in the 1960s ( known as Advanced Research Projects Agency Network or, as it was shortened to, the ARPANET) which allowed messages to be sent between individual computers and a giant mainframe in an efficient manner. If you want to know more then go to Wikipedia which has the whole compex and technical story.
The networks based around the ARPANET were government funded and therefore restricted to non-commercial uses such as research; commercial use was strictly frowned upon. For this reason it was mainly used by the military and educational establishments. During the 1980s, the connections expanded to more educational institutions, and even to a growing number of companies for research.
The term "Internet" was first adopted in a report published in 1974. The first ARPANET connection outside the US was established to Norway in 1973, just ahead of the connection to the UK. It would be the late 1980s before Asia became connected.
During the late 1980s, the first Internet service provider (ISP) companies were formed. Again, Wikipedia covers this comprehensively, so if you want the full lowdown head there now!
The first search engine created seems to have been Archie, created in 1990 by Alan Emtage, a student at McGill University in Montreal. The original intention of the name was "archives," but it was then shortened to Archie.
Archie didn’t have the capacities of today’s search engines, but it did allow you to do wander around the internet (if you knew the name of a file you might be looking for!) In 1992 it contained about 2.6 million files with 150 gigabytes of information. However, Archie didn’t index the content of text files. That capability came in 1991 with the development of another search, known as Gopher.
GOOGLE
According to the company itself, 'Google is a play on the word googol, which was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, Mathematics and the Imagination by Kasner and James Newman. It refers to the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. Google's use of the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense, seemingly infinite amount of information available on the web.'
Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, whilst students at Stanford University began collaboration on a search engine called BackRub in 1996 - named for its ability to analyze the "back links" pointing to a given website. Page was a great one for tinkering with mechanical things and it is said that he once managed to make a working printer out of Lego™ bricks!
By dint of persuasion and begging/borrowing they managed to assemble enough 'modern' computers to add to their network. Very soon, their unique approach earned BackRub cult status around the campus.
Page and Brin continued working to perfect their technology, and buying a terabyte of disks at bargain prices in 1998 built their own computer housings in Page's room, which was to become Google's first data center. And toward the end of the year they "put their studies aside" as the Google website has it, to raise 1 million dollars.
And from those humble beginnings grew the behemoth that is Google!
YAHOO!
Yahoo! started life as a directory of websites, created in 1994 by David Filo and Jerry Yang. Search was not considered so crucial until around 2002 when they seemed to have cottoned on to the way the internet was growing, and started aquiring search companies and related technology.
In the scramble to gain the upper hand, Overture purchased AllTheWeb and AltaVista in 2003. Yahoo! bought Inktomi in 2002 and then Overture in 2003, using the combined expertese to develop their own in-house search engine which appeared in 2004.
MSN
Microsoft seem to have only really got serious about search engine technology when they realised just how fast Google were growing. For several years from 1998 they relied on outsourcing partners such as Overture, Looksmart and Inktomi.
It was only in 2005 that they began their first in-house search engine, and in 2006 launched their MSN Live Search model.
THE OTHERS
Yes, there are lots more search engines out there. Free web submit sites will offer to submit your site to thousands! But when nearly 90% of searches worldwide are conducted over the top three, are the tiddlers really that important?
You also need to bear in mind that there is a lot of interaction and relationships between search engines - giving and taking results.
Meta Search Engines Most meta search engines such as Hotbox and Dogpile draw their search results from multiple other search engines, then combine and rerank those results. This was a useful feature back when search engines were less clever at indexing the web. As search has improved the need for meta search engines has been reduced.
Add that to the fact that Google and Yahoo feed results or deliver pay to click ads into several smaller search engines and you begin to see that getting top listings on the tiddlers might seem good, but in fact is not going to do your business or website much good. YOU NEED TO BE THERE on Google, MSN and Yahoo!

Debunking the Rules
Rules are made to be broken. Just like in any printing job- brochure, catalog or poster printing- rules are there for us to break and bend and go around it. If not for the rules, we wouldn’t know that we were actually creative and not so regular after all.
In poster printing, there are a lot of rules for designers and printers. Some of the rules may seem to be made of stone, but most often than not, there are ways to debunk them.
Rule: Consistency + Layout = Excellence.
Something recognizable is what we, poster printers, strive for. When we see a giant yellow double arch, we know that it’s McDonald’s. When it’s a swoosh in sneakers, we know they are Nike’s. It is the same with poster designs. When we produce the same layout every time we get our posters printed we get to be consistent and thus, we’re recognized by our peers and target clients. In the process, we are creating a brand of ourselves.
But if every poster layout you make looks the same and follows every rule in the book, your clients will definitely be bored with it. Worst case scenario: they would not even deign to look at the entire picture. And the next poster that you’re going to come up with would definitely get to go in the trash bin.
Debunk it: Try to get a different look every time. Surprise your clients. Indulge in your creativity. Use different colors and backgrounds. Did it not prick your curiosity when Spiderman got a new outfit in his new movie? No reds, but a definite black. Go for the same thing with your poster printing designs and format. Get out of your box and explore. You might just be overwhelmed with the response you get from the new look you have.
Rule: Standard makes more profit.
I know rules are thriving for a long time because they have been tried and tested, and many of those who tried them gained something from it. Standard formats do get you more profit. I believe that. When you use a standard format with say, the paper size, you get to have the economies of scale because there’s less wastage. Less wastage equals fewer costs. Fewer costs means more profit. But more often, to get attention you have to get out of the box.
Debunk it: Try a unique layout. From a standard format and size, go for something really awkward and big. Try putting your poster design and poster graphics in different angles. Everything is for a worthy cause: to make you eye-catching and mind-boggling. This in turn, will bring you recognition, which means more sales and more profit. And don’t worry too much about the price. You may just find it worth your while.

How You Can Make More Money With Web Content And Copy
Websites all contain some form of Web copy and/or Web content. That Web copy and content can help you to earn money on its own, or can help you earn more money than you're currently making online. There are differences between Web copy and Web content, and you need to know what those differences are.
Web content is a way to keep your readers entertained and/or informed. Web content usually takes the form of articles. Some sites also include audio files in their content, as well as videos and photos. Web content often is what an online business uses to attract visitors to the site, even if indirectly.
Web copy - Web copy generally refers to text on a website that is either trying to get a response out of the reader or visitor, or that works to forward the company's message in some way. Web copy can be used to get the reader to buy items, to accept a newsletter, or to click on specific links. Copy also includes things such as a company / site slogan, and internal / company pages on a website (about us, contact, media kit contents, etc.), which goes towards portraying an image that you want to convey to visitors.
How does Web copy and content help you to make money? Here's how you do it:
Web content- lots of sites use their content alone to make money. There are plenty of large and small sites that use their content to bring in money- larger ones are content networks, such as About.com. The Web content is there to bring readers in, but the webmaster has to put advertisements on the site or to charge a fee for membership to the site in order to make money. To use Web content to make more money, there are a few things you need to do:
1. Use the highest quality Web content available. High quality content will bring in more readers, is sometimes well suited for SEO purposes, and will earn you high-quality back links, which in turn brings better traffic, better search engine rankings, and more earnings.
2. Keep publishing the content. New Web content will bring in more readers, as they return again and again to see the new items. More web traffic means more money. While ideally you should publish Web content both regularly and frequently, even if you can only publish once per week or once per month, schedule updates as regularly as possible.
3. Your content should be something that will attract new readers. Research topics and keywords by using Wordtracker or Overture and find out what is currently popular. Instead of concentrating on keyword stuffing, get content that appeals to your readers. A lot of searches for one specific topic can mean that there is an existing need for more information on that topic. The number of results given for any keyword is just as important as the number of times it's searched- many of those niches are already overfilled.
Web copy - Web copyrighting is usually reserved for making sales or bringing people back to the site. E-book sellers use Web copy to sell their items, often using different colored fonts, lots of subheadings and testimonials to persuade the readers.
The Web copy used to sell an item doesn't have to be that flashy. All order pages have copy that is meant to persuade and to get an immediate purchase of the items, and perhaps even more items as well. Some Web copy relies on guarantees to persuade readers to buy the item right then without worrying the outcome.
There are strong psychological underpinnings in good Web copy, getting people to act a certain way and with a certain outcome. Hiring a professional copywriter (or even studying copywriting yourself before developing your website or online business) can easily lead to higher conversions from website visitors to buyers, earning you more money online in the process.
