New Strategies for the Smart Online Marketers’ Campaign

8:50 am by 4 Comments

Last week, I went beneath the surface and brought to light some new strategies of online marketing. Many smart online marketers have already tried and tested it. So, let’s see what those new marketing strategies are and how they can help you realize your goals. Have fun and don’t miss out on leaving your comments at the end.

Online marketing strategies are the things performed by us as online marketers to achieve our specific results. What we do generally is, send e-mails & newsletters to people, share links on social media platforms, perform search engine optimization for specific keywords, write blogs and write articles; there are many more things we do as a part of our online marketing campaign and what we all want is to convert that user’s browsing session into purchase of the product or service.

All the marketing tactics discussed in above paragraph are discussed millions and billions of times on internet. But, here I’m going to discuss something NEW! Something Unique! The things I’m going to discuss are always underneath the surface that affect all your click-through rates, conversion rates and rankings you have. Writing a blog with video and impressive photos, having an indented listing, RSS subscription, e-mail and call-to-actions are all traditional means of marketing and we all know that, right?

So, what new I’m going to talk about? Well, what do you think while clicking on any of the link in search results? Do you ever think that whether the link you’re going to click will match your needs or not? SEO experts and marketers often optimize search engines but they overlook on this aspect of user’s mind. Another question comes in your mind is why you should trust on an unknown brand and who are the people behind it? Here comes the matter of brand awareness; reputation and popularity of your brand is so universal that it matters in every marketing activity we do, be it online or offline.

Imagine that the product or services you’re marketing for meets the needs of users. Does it mean that user will buy your product? There are lots of factors that come in picture here but the most important one is the ‘reliability’. Now, you might be wondering how you can win trust of your targeted audience?

Let’s take an example: I am surfing on internet for automation machine, I opened one website that took too much time in loading. But it matches my budget and all requirements, what you think? Will I trust on this service provider? Of course, I won’t. ‘

Speed’ holds major importance while point is of gaining trust from users. Especially, when you ask someone like ‘Hey, I am visiting this website and that person says, no avoid it; it takes too much time to load’


Affordable pricing is another marketing strategy these days. Say for example a product is from a leading and renowned brand, excellent features, excellent look and everything is great! But, it’s price is too high that being an online marketer whatever I do, I can’t justify with its expensiveness! Most of the businesses don’t provide transparent pricing structure to users; it may possible that many users are passing by your website and want to purchase your product but when they ask to their friends or relatives, they got the answers like “Hey’ don’t buy that product, it’s too expensive!” It may be possible that those people are capable of buying your products, it ‘s just that they don’t know about your cost. Be as transparent as you can.

There are many other new marketing strategies that I’ll discuss in my upcoming post. These strategies don’t often come in highlight but smart marketers use them as their trump card and stay one step ahead on the market.

Spinning Your Article – Should You?

11:23 am by 4 Comments

If you are doing any type of SEO, then you must be aware of article marketing and its benefits. Article marketing and submission provides your website link juice and you get the additional benefit of genuine traffic based on the targeted keywords.

Content forms the basis of SEO and articles merge the two main bases of SEO – content and links. Producing unique articles is a tedious and time-consuming task and you need to constantly think of ideas to write on and how to promote them. Article spinning may help you in lessening the headache and brain-storming associated with article writing.

What is Article Spinning?

Article Spinning refers to the art of producing more than one variant of the same article. People has used this for years to cut down on the content generation which can be time-consuming and you may hit a writer’s block as well. This involves rewriting part of the content or rearranging the content or changing the words and keywords to give a whole new meaning to the original article. Some reasons why people use article spinning include:

  1. Article marketing is a numbers game and you consistently need to post new articles especially if you are targeting high competition keywords.
  2. This allows you to target more keywords with more combination of titles and words.
  3. You save time and costs by using the same content base.
  4. Fresh articles are indexed easily and you get link juice.
  5. Duplicate content needs to be avoided and if you are posting the same article to a number of sites, it will be considered as duplicate content. It is better to submit unique articles to authority websites.
  6. You can create a micro niche site based on the spun content.

Article Spinning Process:

You may follow the below given steps as part of the Article Spinning campaign.

  1. The best bet is to do manual article spinning as automatic software’s can provide mixed results.
  2. Before spinning an article, post the original content to the main article sites and once it is indexed, and then start the spinning process. Create original content of 500 to 600 words. Make the content reader worthy and it should be something that is actively searched and will be popular.
  3. Submit the article to major article sites like Ezines, Amazines, GoArtciles, iSnare, IdeaMarketers, ArticleDashboard and the Top 20 to 30 sites.
  4. Then after the submission, wait for a week or 10 days and gather the data of all the urls where the articles have been published.
  5. Now once this is done, spin the original content and make it new. Always make sure that the final article versions are grammatically correct and make sense. They should not look like beehive of randomly thrown in words. The language usage should be proper and as per the writing protocols.
  6. Now you can submit the new content to the top sites again along with the hundreds of sites with the rule being one article copy for roughly 15 to 20 sites.

Once you have mastered this process, you can keep building natural links and traffic.

Apple Siri and Local SEO

12:55 pm by 9 Comments

Apple took the mobile world by storm when it introduced the iPhone. Its latest offering in the series of one of the most popular smartphone brands of the world is the iPhone 4S. Though the device has many features to boast of, the feature that has caught everyone’s attention is Siri. Siri is basically a voice recognition app that allows you to control different functions in your cell phone like, sending messages, calling, and calendar reminders. However, the biggest feature of Siri is that it can do local searches for you and provide you with information on restaurants, banks, or cab services. What this means is that you do not have to perform searches in order to find out these details.

However, this also means that the importance of search engine results and the various PPC advertisements reduces significantly. It is not known that how Siri goes about collecting the information, but it is quite certain that it uses sites like Google Places and Yelp. That is why it has become very important for websites to make changes so that Siri and similar applications can access them without many difficulties. Here are a few tips that can help you in this process.

Mobile site optimization

You may have heard this before, as mobile sites are not new, but it is expected that by 2015 30% of the searches would be have some sort of a local element to them. That is why you should try to make changes and incorporate local SEO as a part of your business plan. You can use some the following steps for optimizing your site for mobiles.

  • You can use mobile site templates that are available on popular platforms like Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress.
  • You should make sure that your contact details are prominent on you home page. This helps in local SEO as it enables apps like Siri to figure out the contact details a lot more easily.
  • The main thing to consider is how Siri and other voice apps will access the information on your website. If you use heavy graphics, Flash, and PDFs for displaying information then it simply makes it more difficult for Siri to find out the required details.

Improving you digital presence

Many people believe that setting up a page on social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook is sufficient because social media marketing gives more exposure. You should make sure that you are present on one or more directories like Yahoo, Foursquare, Google Places etc. There are various such directories and to determine which ones you should pick, you should search on Google to figure out the sites and companies that are doing well in your geographical area. Then you should use the directories that are being used by these companies.

It is also important to ensure that you use schema tags for your website. These tags help in incorporating micro data like, contacts address and working hours. This can help apps and search engines in processing information from your site a lot more quickly.

Knowing the Value of Directory Submissions for Seo

1:17 pm by 1 Comment
This Guest Post Knowing the Value of Directory Submissions for Seo was submitted by: Patrick Wangombe. If you would like to Submit a Guest Post please see Submit Guest Post.

Do you know the value of directory submissions for Seo articles? According to many people nowadays, the issue of directories is a past thing and outdated tool. I can personally say that these are the people who don’t have the knowledge of how to choose the right directory.

Although we have many bad directories, we cannot fail to recognize some few that can be of great help to your site.

Such directories comprises of;

1. DMOZ

2. Yahoo

3. Best of the web

4.Dir journal

5.Wow directory

6.Joeann

7.Gimpsy


We all know that such directories have value for your content and can play a significant role in increasing traffic. In fact, they have been used to assist rankings in pages and referrals. Their only problem is that they are being out shined by search engines such as Google. This due to the fact that Google is able to detect duplicate content more effectively than it did before. If by chance they suspect that repetitive submissions have being paid linkages, it’s obvious that Google automatically downgrades it preventing the links to decent PR and hence the traffic is affected.

The directories are of great help in providing more exposure to links. You have to agree with me when i say that the more the links, the more the chances of driving traffic in your site. In addition, we are aware that once the directories submit their links to Google or any other search engine, they can never reject the links and hence the directories end up adding value to your article. However, it is very important to know how to differentiate the good directories from lousy ones. Off course good directories will always reject content even if it’s paid for immediately they realize that it’s of low quality while the bad ones do accept.
