Are you blogging? If your response is, "I don't have time and I don't know what to say!" then read on. Blogging doesn't have to be scary or time consuming. Business blogging is short, to the point, and over quickly. For instance, a restaurant can blog their daily specials. Two lines, and it's done. A gift store can announce some new products. Two sentences. Nothing fancy. EASY. To transform a

How can you make your website more exciting? Add multimedia. Slideshows, zoom-up photo galleries, and videos will make your site move and flow and come alive. The trick is to keep it subtle. In other words, don't assault your viewers with loud rap music and automatic video. Slideshows are fast and effective -- they can run through photos of products, or if you're service oriented, it can slide

Don’t blog? You’re not alone. Small businesses want to blog, but quickly realize it’s too much work, they don’t have adequate resources to do it, and regular day-to-day business takes precedence.  Most of all, businesses are easily frozen to do nothing in the face of a world that has to learn all the different social media marketing. Even Fortune 1000 companies

Is the quality of your website better than your competitors? Even the most beautiful websites can be improved, from nudging your search engine optimization to replacing more modern graphics and navigation. I've detailed below a few questions you should ask about your website's quality: Website Design 1. Is your website content difficult to read? Consider the font size and color contrast. 2.

Embrace customers by interacting rather than selling Technology is changing the way customers respond to marketing. They’ve become immune to commercials -- many of them even switch "off" when they see a commercial. Social media has created a consumer who wants to be interacted with rather than sold to. What do today's customers really want? A connection: a reason to use your product.

Why should you get other websites to link to you? First, Google considers who links to you when deciding your search placement. Second, links are a way for others to find your website when they're browsing somewhere else. Links are valuable, but don't go crazy getting every last website to link to you -- focus on trying for links with quality websites that get

Rather, it decided that you'll only receive the posts from friends and pages you interact with most. Jeez. That means you'll be missing lots of great stuff from people you love. I've already missed one

Automated spam programs called "spambots" target forms on websites. They fill out all the fields with junk gobbledygook. They don't hurt your website, but they are annoying. To help, we've been installing "human verification script" such as "Captcha" technology, and it's producing great results. Captcha applies distorted text images that are easy for humans to fill in, but difficult for

Great newsletter campaigns start by simply using your existing contacts -- they're free, and these contacts already know who you are. Include the leads you've gotten from networking groups, trade shows, and old customers. To attract new newsletter leads: 1. Have a sign-up form on your website. You can place it on every page. To encourage people to sign up, include testimonials and offer an

Anyone who owns a website wants one thing -- traffic. Traffic that results in customers. One way to get quick results is through search marketing, or pay-per-click ad campaigns typically run through Google's Adwords. Adwords is paid-placement advertising, where your ad is shown at the right side of its search engine results pages. Basically, you, the website owner, pay every time someone clicks

Do search engines know that your website exists? Check it out for yourself. One at a time, go to Google, Yahoo, and Bing, and type your website in the search box. If your website doesn't come up in the search, then you should submit it to the search engines. How they Find You Google and the other search engines send out "robots" (programs that seek and find new websites) that make the rounds

How do you choose the right domain name/url for your business? It isn't easy to get exactly what you want, because all the "good" domain names are already taken. Your business name is most likely already being used by someone else, so you will probably have to look for an alternative. Here are a few tips on what you need to consider: 1. Short is Best. However, very short domain names are not

Don't Be Swayed by "Easy" Solutions There are easy ways to generate lots of content for your website and to start building links. Just go to a free article site and use already-written articles for free. Then go to a link submission site and use their automatic link submission services. Easy, quick. But SO NOT worth it. Easy doesn't get you very far. In fact, "easy" could negatively impact your

Duplicate content affects your search engine optimization (SEO) negatively. Duplicate content happens when your website duplicates some of its content word-for-word with anything else that Google or another search engine might find on the web. This can happen if: you've written an article and allowed another site to pick it up, or you own several sites, and are using the same wording somewhere

Social media is becoming one of the biggest success stories in marketing small businesses. To harness the power of Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, and others, think locally and think your niche.

Videos are one way to attract business. How? Demonstrate something, give a tour, or give advice. Then post it on YouTube and link it to your business website. If you're really interesting, your video will connect with people. And, if you do it right, they'll come calling on your door to get more. A video will give a more personal sense of who you are and what it's like to work with you. Of

Customers search for products and services on Google or other search engines, where they type in keywords, and Google returns a results page listing the websites that most closely refer to the keywords. If you're a florist, for example, you'd make sure to set your website keywords to a few of the major things people search for, such as 'flowers' and 'roses'. The problem is, getting traffic to
