The Power of Corporate Blog Marketing

Posted in Blog Marketing, More Website Traffic by Marc Arner on the March 29th, 2007

Depending solely upon your company’s website to deliver your message is just not enough in todays fast moving information era. When planned and executed by experts, corporate blog marketing can become extremely powerful and gives business owners of all sizes an equal playing field in terms of broadcasting their personal message, ideas, views, thoughts and general industry knowledge to the world.

A corporate blog is very different then a business website in many ways. Your company’s website is basically a virtual storefront. The most effective websites are ones that are graphically pleasing, easy to navigate, have high rankings and very user friendly. Putting to much text on your site may be a good tactic for seo web development (SEO) reasons, but I can promise it will do nothing for your visitors. Keeping your message short, sweet and to the point seems to work best. Lets face it, if your site doesn’t strike a nerve with in the first few seconds, there is a good chance your visitor will leave very quickly. A well designed website should be a company’s #1 marketing tool.

Corporate blogs are different. It’s ok for an owner or someone else with in the company to pour their soul in to their blog entries. Visitors, potential customers want to know what type of person the President, CIO, CEO or CFO is. A personal “Message from the President” posted on ones site is sales fluff and most people know it. Blogging gives business owners the ability to show the world who they really are and what they are all about. You just don’t get that in a website. If you’re a business owner, and you consider yourself to be an expert in your field, then corporate blogging is an absolute must. I will however say that NOT just any blogging will do. Be absolutely sure you consult an expert in the field of Blog Marketing before you give it a shot on your own ( Blog Marketing Experts ). The wrong type of blogging can severely damage rankings and your company’s image.

Blog Marketing! Say What?

Posted in Blog Marketing by PJ Cammarata on the March 23rd, 2007

What exactly is Blog Marketing & how can it help me? Wow - That is the $64,000,000 question! Blog Marketing is a relatively unknown term today but if thinkbigsites.com has any say in the matter, it will be a household phrase in the not too distant future. Millions of businesses throughout the world have websites in place that are literally doing nothing for them. They have no traction, they’re not getting noticed, they’re not increasing productivity and or profits or even interest in the topics or products they’re trying to share with the outside world. Hence, this type of website is common but simply useless.

Website owners around the world are largely unaware of this universal flaw that we see every day in our website design division at Think Big. In laymen’s terms, Blog Marketing is simply a way to get your website noticed by the various search engines so that when someone searches Google or Yahoo and is trying to buy lets say “Red Balloons” or “Yellow Umbrellas”, they will easily find you if your website was optimally designed in such a way as to alert folks that you are indeed out there selling red balloons and or yellow umbrellas.

Now Blog Marketing which is designed to enhance (SEO) Search Engine Optimization is somewhat complex, so it is difficult for the typical website owner to do on his or her own and still do it justice with the end result being greater website traffic, which will in turn enhance website productivity and or profitability. That is why most website owners will be well advised to call on the leading experts in this new field at Thinkbigsites.com which is a one stop shop that will get your website producing results on a level that you had never imagined before!

Blog Marketing Strategies

Posted in Blog Marketing by Marc Arner on the March 21st, 2007

What is Blogging and how can it help my company?

The term blog came about when someone decided to shorten the phrase weblog. A blog is an online media outlet that people use to share and publish thoughts, ideas, videos, pictures, expertise etc… Think of it as an online diary. The term Blogging refers to the act of publishing those thoughts to the vast online world. Blogging not only gives people the ability to get noticed fast, but get noticed in a big way as well. Major search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, Lycos etc… are very quick to pick up on recent Blog entries. For the most part, today Blogs are widely used by individuals and not so much by corporations. This is where things begin to get INTERESTING!

The folks at ThinkBIGsites.com are heavily focused on Corporate Blog Marketing. This new and unique method of Internet Marketing is clearly the most innovative, unique and sadly; the most under used SEO strategy by corporations today. Corporate Blogs are rapidly becoming a must have for ALL website owners. Business owners, Presidents, CFO’s, CIO’s , Sales Directors etc.. all now have the ability to publish their own thoughts and ideas based on their own unique expertise to thousands of potential and existing customers around the world in greater numbers than ever before possible. Publishing a relevant Blog entry is tantamount to giving a public speech about your products and or services in front of an audience of millions. A well designed Blog Marketing Strategy is a must for any company that is trying to maintain or achieve top ten search engine rankings. Need I say more?

Link Popularity

Posted in More Website Traffic by Doug on the March 21st, 2007

Search engine optimization today requires off page optimization in addition to optimizing for keywords on your web pages. Off page optimization is critical to get good rankings with the major search engines. Total incoming links or “backlinks” is the primary off page factor being used by the search engines today. This means each website needs to develop a linking strategy. This can be one-way linking, two-way linking (reciprocal) or three-way linking. Many times a website should plan a mix of these strategies.

There has been a tremendous amount of discussion about the type of link and which is better. Some feel that reciprocal linking (2-way linking) will hurt rankings. We have found this not to be true as long as the other linking factors mentioned above are followed. We do recommend a mix of linking strategies. Today we recommend 80% reciprocal linking and 20% of 1-way linking.

What is the Objective of Having a Website?

Posted in Website Optimization Services by PJ Cammarata on the March 20th, 2007

 

Thinkbigsites.com has taken a new and improved approach to website design, web hosting and Internet marketing. All too often web design companies have created websites for their clients without thinking through the reason, strategy or objective behind creating the site. They often do not focus on website ROI, productivity, profitability etc… So in essence, why was the website designed in the first place. Because of this glaring oversight, many companies have fancy websites with all the bells and whistles that may even be highly ranked on the search engines but there is still little to no ROI, profits or productivity coming from the site itself.

This is a massive problem throughout industry yet only one company called Thinkbigsites.com is currently addressing it. No one else in the industry has taken this focused approach to such a gargantuan issue that is so prevalent throughout the World Wide Web today.

(SEO) or Search Engine Optimization is useless without first understanding why a high ranking is so important. In other words, it’s not important to just be on the first page of Google or Yahoo. What is important is what is happening as a result of your site being on the first page of Google or Yahoo. Have your sales increased, have your web hits increased, are you realizing higher revenues and profits as a result of your top ranking on the search engines? If not, you have to ask yourself why? The answer is simple, whom ever did your web design, web hosting and your search engine optimization were thinking peripherally at best and not deep enough to understand that a truly effective website design is one that not only takes into consideration the reason behind or objective of having a great website but the (ROI) Return on Investment as well as the daily profits and productivity that should come as a result of having that website.

search engine friendly web development

Posted in More Website Traffic by Doug on the March 19th, 2007

Search engines will rank a website based on two major factors. These are on-page and off-page factors. On page factors include those things that exist within the website. This includes keywords, website structure, website content, navigation, etc. Off page factors include those things that exist outside of the website itself. Off page factors include links from other websites, age of a website, how many years a domain name is renewed for, etc.Visible text is the actual content or body text used within a web page and is how search engines index and classify sites to relevant search results. Remember that no matter how search engine rules change, the one thing that will never change is that content is the king and is the web’s reason for being. Search engines do not search based on images or graphics, only on text used in the website.

It used to be that the META Tags were very important, but today the META Tags have very little importance. META Tags are Information placed in a web page not intended for users to see but instead which typically passes information to search engine spiders.
