Rule online marketing with the power of keywords

The single most consistent topic you will hear over and over in online marketing is the word keywords. That magic little word is the secret sauce to successful online marketing. Without a basic knowledge of keywords, your marketing efforts will be lost in never, never land and nobody will see them.

The basic idea of using keywords is based on the language we all speak in internet land. Think of google and how you now "google" something, which means search for something on the internet.

When you search for something on the net you are using keywords. You may combine several keywords into a short three to five word series which is commonly called a long tail. A short tail keyword is one to two keywords together.

So if that is the premise, how are they used for marketing and advertising? Before you start marketing, you will need to do some homework and use the best free keyword tools out there. These tools are of course, developed by google.

You will study your industry keywords, company, name, etc.. and develop your keyword lists based on your customer segmentations. We show our business partners exactly which keywords to use, and how to leverage untapped keywords.

Go search on google for google keyword external tool, the google wonder wheel (it is google.com - show options, and google insights. They show keyword data in different ways and allow you to decide which keywords are relevant to you and your industry.

Avoid keywords that will not convert to sales. Think of user intent, and what a person is looking for. The keyword is the question and your marketing is the answer. We'll talk more about user intent in another article.

Keywords can be grouped in themes to make your marketing and advertising efforts stronger. How you use them will depend on the type of marketing you plan to use.

When you advertise online, you will group them in ad groups, where the ad will serve as the answer to the keywords in your ad group. When you use keywords in article marketing, you will sprinkle a long tail keyword into the title, and then use the targeted keywords throughout the article sparingly.

So, you can see how important it is to understand keywords, and is critical to your online marketing success. You have to get to know how they work. There are advanced strategies for using keywords that will allow you to dominate your competition.

Re: Taking Your Online Business Offline? - Hi David, Appreciate the input. The only thing I don't like about "takeyourbusinessonline" is that it's a little narrow. I don't want the site to be just about offline businesses going online. I want to offer services for businesses already online and other websites that are looking for marketing work. Here are some good keywords I came up with: web marketing services internet marketing help website marketing services online marketing service I haven't checked domain availability against any of these, but these would seem to fit my overall purpose of the site. I'm half partial to "internet marketing help" for some reason. Don't know what you all think about it, but I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks!
Franchising & Licensing Can Be The Same Thing - FTC Rule 436 defines franchising as anyone offering an Agreement that contains these 3 things: 1. Licensing a "Mark" - which can be a trade name, service mark, commercial symbol, slogan, etc. 2. In the body of the Agreement, there contains, significant controls and assistance. 3. The licensee is paying the licensor in excess of $500 within the first six months of the actual offering of the business. Licensing and Franchising can mean the same thing today. If you do not decide to franchise and comply with FTC Rule 436, you may be in violation of Business Opportunity Laws that exist in 24 individual States.
Online vs. Offline Marketing - I think it really depends on your business model. For example, for my company I do mostly online marketing. It's the most cost effective way to create awareness and I have a way to monetize the traffic. It's hard to run a website based business without online marketing. I have done some offline marketing in the form of media interviews, seminars, conferences, etc. but the results pale in comparison to what I can generate online. There are also many successful offline businesses that don't use any online marketing efforts. Depending on your business model sometimes referrals are the best way to grow as supposed to web marketing. I think it's hard to find a business that could not benefit from both online and marketing efforts but depending on your business model (and the personality of the owner) most entrepreneurs typically skew towards one over the other.
Re: Offline Marketing V/S Online Marketing - If we think of product promotion, the online marketing turns out to be better than the offline marketing. The online marketing is not only economical than the offline marketing but also faster than that. Product promotion to the magnitude of what can be achieved through the online marketing can be very expensive and time consuming if tried to be achieved through offline marketing.
