Specify the location of your business in your web page if you want to be found online
With off-line advertising losing its effectiveness every day, more and more businesses are turning to online marketing. The reason why online marketing is so effective is because more and more people are turning to the internet to find products and services, and are no longer using off-line media to do the same.
What is also interesting about this, is that when people search for products and services online, many will include a location in their search. For example, when searching for an accountant, they may type into Google something like “Brisbane accountant”, or “Ashgrove accountant”, or “accountant in Strathpine”.
It is quite logical that somebody searching for a service locally, would include the location of this service in their search terms.
If you are already online, have you incorporated this knowledge into your online marketing plan? Are your prospective client able to find you when searching for products or services that you are providing? If not, then it is important that you review your marketing strategy today, because you are probably giving business to your competition!
How to get a ton of traffic through Social Bookmarking
What is Social Bookmarking
For businesses that are new to the internet marketing jargon, Wikipedia’s definition of social bookmarking is: "a method by which Internet users store, organize, search and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet using meta data; usually in the form of tags." Social tagging refers to "the process by which several users add meta data in the form of keywords to shared content."
Social book marking services go to sites such as Digg, Stubmleupon, Propellor, Reddit, Furl, Delicious, Facebook, Twitter, etc create links to your site, tag it and share it with the world. By doing this, it will help drive traffic to your site. If you have an interesting site or article, or something that you can offer, you will attract followers. Each one of the links provided by a social book marking service will deliver "link juice" to your site. "Link juice" is internet jargon for site credibility in the eyes of search engines. Social book marking sites have a lot of credibility, and with each link it gives your site some credibility. Links back to your website or blog are what will make your page rankings skyrocket. The more external links coming into your site means that more people in the World Wide Web will see you too.
Social bookmarking sites are beneficial if you want to promote your website or your online business, especially if you have launched a new website and would like the world to know about it. You will need to submit your website to as many bookmarking sites to get visitors to your website. That’s the main reason why these social bookmarking sites have become so popular.
These sites are excellent for connecting with people who have similar interest as yourself and you can also do business networking on such sites, thus making your business successful with lots of visitor traffic. Social bookmarking is fun. I encourage you to join a popular social bookmarking site and get started!
