When you operate an Internet based business, all the world is your customer. The problem for most web-based businesses is reaching out to the world and getting your offer seen in a raging sea of competition, crowd noise, and surfer confusion. It’s critical to your survival to provide the best product or service, but it’s equally important to get the message out to potential customers. The solution is to hire a professional like seo essex . This can solve many of your traffic problems.

No matter how good your lead generation, in-house marketing or list building efforts are, the key to adding zeros to bottom end of your bottom line comes from adding new buyers. New customers are the foundation of our entire future marketing effort. So it follows that the acquisition of new customers is the master key to your business success or failure.

It’s common for internet businesses to get stuck in a SEM or SEO sales channel and marketing strategy that leaves them in a narrowly focused competition pool. Here they fight it out with other trapped marketers vying for a share of a fixed volume of daily searches. Each competitor has their list of keywords and live or die over how many sales they can win from the daily available inbound search volume.

So how do we fish new buyers out of this stagnant pool of traffic? We reach outside of our fixed list of keywords. But not just any new keywords will do. We must find keywords that are returning traffic at levels we can pull fish, er potential customers out of.

Search Suggestion Tools

There are several ways to learn what people are searching for and to new build keyword silos to bring them into our network. We’ll go into content creation and keyword farming in later articles. Today we want to focus on a great way to find the missing link between what we think our market is about and what the public thinks it is about.

How do we do that? And what does it cost?

Search Engine Suggestion is the answer and it’s completely free

Here we go to the various online tools (overt and covert) to gain intelligence on what Search Intent Anticipation (SIA factor) suggestions engines are returning for your base keywords. The idea is to reach out beyond your own ideas of what your market is interested in and to see what real human traffic is looking for. Very often, this simple process will break you out of a marketing rut by opening new sales channels you can work on — to market them or even develop new products.

Please note that since most major search engines have refocus on monetized search, their main interest is in delivering quality search results. A big component of result quality is to anticipate and drill the surfer down to where they need to be when they started the search session. So the concept is to anticipate the surfer’s needs and deliver the best suggestions to fill in the blanks created by the surfer’s gap of imagination, laziness, or lack of keyword or typing skills, etc…

Also note that since the engines really want to monetize you they are always balancing Visitor Value (VV factor) with accurate anticipation. Even if they don’t admit it, there will always be heavy algorithmic gravitational pull towards commerce-specific results. You can be assured that commerce will play a factor because profitable search engines survive by driving traffic to monetized search.

A shocking but simple rule: If there is high search volume there will always be monetized search.

Why is that? Because anything that has a high volume of search will create a focus and concentration of human interest that will in turn lure Internet marketers into the game. Internet Marketers love the crowd because as P.T. Barnum claimed there is a sucker in every crowd.

So even on innocent subjects and strongly academic search terms, human interest generates the search volume and the search volume generates marketing interest, which in turns ignites search activity (remember that Internet marketers have to constantly study the subject to steal content to power their content-centric internet marketing information product marketing efforts).

But I digress… What we want to focus on is the margin created between human interest and marketing interest. Why? Because in that gap are seething pools of fish for you to drop a baited line into. And one of the best tools to discover the gap and create whole new channels you can exploit for free is search suggestion.

Google for example now has search suggestion based on absolute metrics. Just hit their main search site for real time search suggestions. Type in a few letters of your key phrase and the suggestions are instantly delivered to you. As a bonus they also throw in the number of indexed page results. Yahoo, has been providing these for a long time and they still work great. MSN Live and Ask.com are also helpful, but their anticipation-suggestion engine is very strongly weighted to commerce results. This makes sense considering their market positioning and struggle for share.

It’s easy and free to add new life to your web marketing by using the free tools provided by the search engines. So go for it! And happy fishing.

Amid all the hand wringing these days by business owners desperate to connect with consumers, I stumbled across a clever new idea and service called Orizzi. It harnesses the power of text messaging to create a welcomed voice right to customer cell phones.

According to CEO Michael Voulgarelis, Orizzi connects businesses with potential buyers by providing instant text notices right to their cell phone. You can catch a quick elevator pitch video on the Orizzi home page but in a nutshell, the system provides you with a short code (a 5-digit number you enter into your cell phone) you promote to customers as a way to get super specials. Customers use your code to subscribe to your dispatches so you can reach out to them anytime to summon them to your store or site.

The true power of this clever idea is based in the text phenom. Consumers are deleting emails and ignoring calls, but everyone stops on a dime to check a text message. (And it’s true LOL) Note that the Orizzi system will also dispatch to the customer’s instant messenger and email if the text message is ignored.

So check out Orizzi and start communicating with your customers where they live.

One of the main problems we help SEO clients solve is the improvement of their on-page SEO and it always seems to come down to their website being poorly designed or coded. Often they are stuck in limbo: not able to afford SEO or design work so they have to do it themselves, yet they still need help to have a quality site that is well optimized for the best possible web visibility. Invariably we fit them into a CMS (usually WordPress) but often a more SEO-focused Small Business CMS would really do the trick.

So needless to say I got very excited when we stumbled across the Eden Hosted Content Management System. At it’s core, Eden is a sharp Web 2 style site builder platform with true on-page editing (better than WYSIWYG since you edit on the page and see what your visitors see). It is also designed to allow the beginner to be creative with easy tools and built-in guidance.

Since Eden is a hosted platform you create and host the site on their servers. While this might not appeal to some, the fact that the platform is always being upgraded and improved is a real plus.

A quick visit to their samples page shows some of the top notch design aspects you can experiment with in the design process.

Going beyond the builder you’ll also find really cool SEO features that seem perfectly targeted to the small business website manager. You’ll love their easy to follow communications and promotions segments that offer the usual forms and segmentation tools but with a fresh new-web approach that does not feel like your building a cookie cutter site.

So all in all Eden and the Preation experience is something we would recommend to clients. The price is certainly fair — starting as low and $10 per month. Their per-page-view pricing model might raise an eyebrow but when you consider this includes hosting, basic SEO, localization and marketing in one platform, Eden is a steal for the average business owner.

Still not convinced? Did I mention they have a 15 day Website CMS Free Trial so you can drive Eden around before you decide.

Write in and let me know what you think of Eden.

I’m not famous for losing things. Sure I’ve misplaced a set of keys once or twice but I do chew through eyeglasses at least a couple times a year. And if not lost then they get broken. It’s just the way it is, always running to the next meeting or standing in line. If you wear glasses you know how expensive that can get.

This morning I came across a cool review at fellow Examiner Eric Hammer’s site. It was about a company called Zenni Optical and the details made me click over to their site.

Zenni really has their act together. They offer a huge line of high quality eyeglasses at a discount prices. Their website is easy to navigate, but the show stopper is the selection and price.

One the second page of frames I found a near perfect match for my $250 frames for only $29.00 – I almost cried. So just to go apples to apples I checked the Titanium Alloy category — the reason my frames were so expensive, at least that’s what the salesperson said – and found a flexible titanium set like mine for a whopping $39.00 (they’re model #3742 if you’re curious).

You can compare your frame styles (they have a super selection of sharp looking frames) and you’ll have your glasses delivered in about two weeks. Shipping costs are minimal and if you buy several pair you’ll save even more.

New unemployment numbers out today and somehow the administration has tortured the figures to show a 9.7% unemployment rate. So of course the argument starts and the complaining continues.  It’s hard to have a conversation with anyone lately without the subject turning to no work and lost jobs and what are we going to do? I feel your pain.

But like we talked about earlier, there are still some great ways to make money out there. You can do it on the Internet or you can do it in your home town. For example, one of the coolest ways you can self-employ yourself and work part time while job hunting (if you must) is to set up as a booth, kiosk, or roadside vendor. It’s cheap to get started and you can make some great money.

One very nice company to work with is Moda Sunglasses. They provide nice packs with assortments of high quality wholesale sunglasses you can order and resell for a great markup and still have room to give excellent prices. Check out their site and see the styles and prices and do some thinking about how you could set up to sell these locally or even at online auctions.

Anyway, the world is changing and unless we figure out how to employ ourselves instead of running around trying to fight for the latest crappy job available things are only gonna get worse.

Lisa and I have been with the same car insurance company since we got married 18 years ago. In fact I was with them on my persoanl auto insurance even before that. No tickets, no accidents, good deal.

But it adds up over the years and with all the car insurance commercials on TV and different rates they promise you start to wonder. It does not help that we have never really got a break for being good drivers. Oh sure our rates don’t go up much, but then they have never ever ever went down either. I figure they owe me a free car by now.

So we’re doing the comparison thing to see if we can get some better rates. Particularly since we now have a teenage son behind the wheel. I’ll post the results.
