www.SERoundtable.com &#8211; This week, I try to get fancier with my video set up and integrate multiple video sources, including my monitor &#8211; let&#8217;s see how that goes. I posted the Google webmaster report for January. There were rumors Caffeine went live, but it did not. More people are seeing the Google blue Jazz interface. Malware is becoming a bigger and bigger issues. Was there a Yahoo Search update or was it the paid inclusion results being removed? Google&#8217;s local business privacy blunder caused some overall concern. Google may return the SEO and web design local pack? Bing says they are slow and recommends you spam Digg or Yahoo Buzz. Microsoft adCenter offered free clicks, well &#8211; not really. AdWords tests a CPA lead form and also click to call on mobile phones. Also, most PPCers have participated in bid wars, while most advertisers are not afraid to make changes to their accounts. Finally Googlers were working on New Years and Google animated their logo for Issac Newton. That was this past week at the Search Engine Roundtable.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The use of search engine or the term ‘googling&#8217; has become a special tool for many to tap their target consumers and market.  The local search marketing method has been construed as one of the easiest way to obtain information, thus giving edge to many marketers.  Optimizers have also benefited from this strategy.  There is more than one way to engage in this form of marketing strategy.  <br/><br/>Firstly, we have advertising via search engine.  This can be achieved in two different ways: one is to make us of keywords as a mean to target local qualifiers and two, the use of national distribution to capture local market targeting.   For many reasons, the first one seems to be more effective as it is far easier to capture a localized market.  Listings and results can be a bit more confusing if the national market is being targeted.  <br/><br/>The second form of local search strategy is through optimization tactics for search engines.   The search functionality has become more efficient as consumers in this case will not only be able to find contact information  of  what they are looking for on online yellow pages, but they will also be able see rich content and more pertinent information about it.  Business profiles can be placed at no extra cost on the web while additional advertisement space is slightly charged.  The yellow pages on the web are one of the most frequently visited sites every day.  <br/><br/>Local Search Marketing tactics can also provide local search items before the main se arched item.  These prominent search engines usually enter into contract with the providers of local information in order to enhance the search visibility on the website and to also increase their branding impacts.  Whichever tactic is used by online marketers, optimization is always the key for successful searches.   <br/><br/></p>

Not Everyone Is DishonorableTo start, it&#8217;s important to understand that there are some very legitimate local search marketing companies who can help you generate tons of leads for your business.  These people are generally in high demand and don&#8217;t go out soliciting new business on the telephone. It&#8217;s also important to note that there are people in the local search marketing community who claim to be experts when in fact, they&#8217;re not.  Some are just working with limited knowledge, while others are professional scammers.  You want to avoid both and here&#8217;s why. First Do No HarmIf someone does not know what they&#8217;re doing, they can unintentionally destroy your reputation with the search engines by doing things that are not in accordance with their terms of service.  Some of these things include adding keywords to your business name, placing your business in multiple locations where your business does not exist, keyword stuffing your category selections, using one telephone number at multiple locations and more.  If the search engines catch you doing any of these things, they will remove your listing from their database forever.  That can be a very, very costly mistake. Scammers can do the same damage to your business listing but they do it with the full knowledge of the consequences.  They will bend and break every rule in order to get you a couple of quick hits before the search engines discover what they&#8217;ve done.  By then, you will have paid them and they will be long gone. 1.  Givers Or Takers?A good Local Search Marketing company is willing to show you exactly what they&#8217;re going to do to generate leads for your business.  They know how much effort goes into doing local search properly and they know what their expertise is worth. The very best Local Search Marketing companies will provide you with a do-it-yourself guide on their site and give you the tools necessary to accomplish some, most, or all of the work depending on your ability.  Look for a company that wants to help you understand the process first before trying to take your hard earned money. 2.  Price NegotiationsThe cost of having your business optimized and publicized on the Internet can range from a one-time fee of $100 to $1,000.  Fees are based on the quality of the service and the extent your listing will be publicized on the Internet.  Do your homework, compare pricing and know what you&#8217;re getting for the money. Scammers will generally start high and continue to reduce their price until you agree to their terms.  This is one of the most common pricing techniques used by scammers.  If someone is willing to reduce his or her price quickly or give you a one time special offer, watch out.  Their goal is to make you think you&#8217;re getting a great deal when the truth is; you don&#8217;t have a clue as to what you&#8217;re getting. 3.  Monthly Maintenance Fee?Local Search Marketing is a one-time event.  Once your business is optimized and publicized, the only thing left to do is to generate local business citations and customer reviews.  This is something a local search marketing company is not going to do for you because they don&#8217;t have access to your customers. If a company wants to charge you a monthly service fee, make sure you find out what it&#8217;s for.  Unless they&#8217;re going to generate additional local business citations, it&#8217;s a waste of money. 4.  Check Their ReferencesA reputable company should be delighted to showcase their work.  Look for a list of their customers along with addresses and telephone numbers.  If they can&#8217;t or won&#8217;t provide that information, hang up the telephone and put them on call blocking. You can also check with the BBB and see if they have any outstanding complaints.  Do a search for &#8220;their company name&#8221; + the word &#8220;scam. &#8221; If anything comes up, read the article and see what others have to say about the company on the Internet.  It&#8217;s hard to hide from a bad review. 5.  Don&#8217;t Provide Your Account InformationIf the company you&#8217;re considering to do your local search marketing passes muster and you decide to hire them, there is one more thing to consider and it&#8217;s important. In order to do Local Search Marketing correctly, you must have an account (user name and password) with all of the major search engines.  The search engines need this information before allowing you or someone on your behalf to claim your business.  Sometimes scammers will ask for your information, and sometimes they won&#8217;t.  They can scam you either way. Oftentimes scammers will claim your business using a fake account.  It&#8217;s not only easier for them to access your business listing without your consent, but it gives them complete control over what goes on your listing.  Don&#8217;t let this happen.  There is nothing worse than to discover a scammer holding you hostage by threatening to destroy or remove your business listing unless you continue to pay them. If you give a scammer access to your account information, they can also do major damage to your reputation and your pocketbook.  If you have a Google Adwords account for example, your credit card is on file and easily accessible to the scammer giving them the ability to use your credit to promote their business at your expense.  They can also upload any content they want under your name and abuse your email list if they choose to do so.  The hurt can go on forever.  Don&#8217;t give your account information to anyone you don&#8217;t trust. A professional will explain the advantages and disadvantages of both and will suggest that they provide you with the optimized content for your business listing and show you how to upload that information to your account.  This is by far the safest method. ConclusionScammers go to great extent to hide their intentions.  Follow these five simple rules and pay attention to what your gut is telling you. Giving someone you don&#8217;t trust access to your credit card information can be troubling.  Giving them access to your business listing can be devastating.  <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine this scenario: you have set up a departmental store and naturally, would like to see your business grow.  However, for your business to grow, you need to be known in your locality and the city and also be popular.  This is besides the quality of services and products you offer.  Hence, the question is: how do you build your departmental store in to a brand? How do you reach a situation where people will equate departmental stores with your departmental stores&#8217; name? Smart local search marketing is the solution to this problem.  Local search marketing is the only tool to popularize your business and grow it exponentially too!The art of local search marketing has evolved big time over the years.  The traditional techniques of searching out potential customers are gradually being replaced by smart web search techniques.  Obviously, people have been waking up to the merits of local search marketing through the web of late and that has been sounding the death knell of traditional local search marketing methods in general. What are the merits and demerits of traditional local search marketing methods? To focus on the merits first, this enables you to reach out to individual customers.  This enables you to build a good rapport with your potential customers.  Business expansion and development depends on more word of mouth promotion.  Customers are more informal about sounding you out with their feedback about your services and products.  However, traditional local search marketing methods will have their downside as well.  This is not convenient for people who keep busy.  Also, if you intend to grow your business, the traditional methods of distributing pamphlets, resorting to newspaper advertisements; sticking bills on your neighborhood walls will not always reap benefits as quickly as you want.  Also, if you happen to stay in a big city and have the intention of reaching out to a large chunk of people, then traditional local search marketing methods are not going to be very effective. Switch to web based local search marketing methods and you could see your business go up by leaps and bounds.  What are the features of the web based local search marketing methods? It is quick and can spread the word real fast and hence, your business gets promoted in double quick time.  What do you need to do? Get yourself enlisted in some of the more reputed local web search engines.  Get enlisted smartly so that each time a search is performed on your type of business, you feature right at the top.  Also, try and put some pop-ups and banners in all the websites that are related to your city so that each time such web sites are visited, people know that you exist.  <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Woodlands, Texasâ Everyone has heard the sayings about business: &#8220;the customer is always right,&#8221; &#8220;time is money&#8221; and &#8220;anything worth doing is worth doing well. &#8221; Here is another one for the list, &#8220;If you&#8217;re not online, your business could suffer. &#8220;Online directories offer fantastic opportunities to get your business online and noticed when people are searching for local business informationâfrom their desktop computer or their smartphone.  Â The buzz phrase thrown around the business world these days is &#8220;search engine optimization&#8221; or SEO.  SEO is all about creating a presence online, getting your company name to come up as high as possible on search engine search result pages for the products and services your company sells.  The higher your website appears in search results the more traffic will be sent to your website giving you more leads for your business.  Studies also show that most users do not have the specific name of a business in mind while searching for local services or products.  Managing your business&#8217; information through online directories means your business has the opportunity to show up in searches, even if you don&#8217;t have a website.  Online business directory profiles can help ensure potential customers looking for local business information about your businessâwhere it is located, how to contact your business and what products and services your business offers.  Even if you already have a website then you&#8217;re really only doing half of what you could be doing to get your name online and build your brand.  Most online directories should provide a place to link to the main webpage of your business with your listing.  This generates more hits on your site.  Every time someone clicks to your site it counts like a vote for you and your company.  In turn this increases the ranking of your website meaning that it will show up higher and more frequently on the &#8220;hit list&#8221; of major search engines.  Advantages of signing up for online directory listings include:â¢ Great way to save money- Advertising is expensive so don&#8217;t spend more, spend better.  Online listings allow businesses to target a very select demographic based on geographic location. â¢ Hyper-local- A hyper local site focuses on a very specific geographic region so listing with a hyper-local group means that your advertising is being directed at the people most likely to become your customers.  It&#8217;s much easier for a listing to get lost in a big general online directory so try to find a directory that will focus on as specific of a geographic location as possible.  â¢ Keep it simple- You may have great ideas for a website, so why are you still not online? Let an online directory do the grunt work for you.  The site will be taken care of and maintained with very little stress to you.  After all, you do have a business to run. Places to get listed:â¢ GoLocal247. com â¢ getlisted. org â¢ Universal Business Listing (ubl. org)â¢ Localeze â¢ InfoUSAâ¢ Google Places â¢ Bing Local Listing Center â¢ Yahoo Local Listings <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Local Search marketing has really come of age in the last few years and it is now done in an entirely new manner.  In a nutshell, the traditional local search marketing is being steadily replaced by the web based search techniques.  For a businessman who has set up shop and is looking to promote the business big time, web based local search is the way to go, as the business marketing experts will conclude.  Gone are the days of traditional marketing concepts and spreading the word around.  The web based search methods yields results in a quicker and a more effective manner. What is it that has been bringing about the decline in the traditional local search marketing methods? Experts would say that the inability to generate quick promotion and quicker profits has sounded the death knell of traditional local search marketing methods.  The traditional local search marketing is typically based on the principles of door to door selling and promotion; distributing pamphlets and sticking bills in the neighborhood and word of mouth promotion.  The entire process takes time and though may attract consumers from nearby places; you will find it really difficult to reach out to a wide range of customers. As a replacement, what are the merits that the web based local search marketing has brought about? First, you can reach out to a large segment of customers at a lightning quick pace.  Imagine this, if your business is about selling hair dryers, then no matter where the customer lives in the city, just one search on hair dryers in the city will throw the name of your business up. Multiply this with the number of such searches performed in a day and then a month and finally, in a year and you already have generated enormous business potential. So, how do you go about the web based local search marketing methods? The first and most important step is to enlist your business with some prominent local web search engines.  Adequately invest so that each time a search is performed relevant to your business, the name of your business features right at the top.  Also, preferably, enlist for value added services like Google maps and satellite maps so that each time a customer wants to reach you, the directions to reach you are clearly given.  Additionally, flood the local websites with pop-ups and web banners about your business so that each time the web site is visited, people get to know about your business. Regardless of how much progress web based local search marketing methods have made, it still has some way to before it is embraced totally.  In many parts of the world, the traditional search methods still hold sway.  <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A staggering number of consumers have been using Google, Yahoo and other major search engines for years to find products and services within their local community.  But the majority of local business owners are still not taking advantage of the massive wave of traffic and potential customers searching for their type of business on the Internet.  The question is, why? Local search marketing, when properly positioned, can literally explode your business overnight.  Unlike the majority of traditional marketing and advertising like the Yellow Pages and expensive print ads, local search marketing and advertising is super, hyper, ultra targeted.  Just imagine if only 10 people per day sat down at their computer, logged onto the Internet and typed in &#8220;Atlanta Massage&#8221; or &#8220;Tampa Plumber&#8221; or a variety of other keywords that would directly describe your products and services.  Now imagine how powerful that would be if 7 out of 10 of those daily visitors landed on your website as a direct result of those specific search terms! The truth is, this phenomena is happening right now all around you with billions upon billions of keyword search terms spanning across tens of millions of categories, many of which are extremely specific to your exact products and services in whatever town your businesses is located.  Local search marketing is the key to business success because modern technology allows people to search for extremely specific and targeted products and services.  This has been made possible through not only the Internet, but cell phones, laptops, iPads and other devices that have the capabilities to display digital and mobile media.  The wave of the future is now, and if your local business is not properly positioned for the specific search terms that are relevant to your specific street corner and your specific products and services, you are proverbially &#8220;dead in the water. &#8221; If you cannot be found when people are searching, the quality of your products do not matter, a smiling face and excellent customer service does not matter, and the décor and wall hangings within your business that provide a comforting and calming atmosphere do not matter.  None of this matters if you can&#8217;t attract people to your business.  When first starting out with local search marketing, a lot of businesses make the mistake of only going after one singular search term which is the name of their particular business.  Let&#8217;s say for example you owned a hair studio in Atlanta called &#8220;Triple Cutz&#8221; (that seems like a pretty good name for a cutting edge hair studio in Atlanta).  If you were the owner of the fictitious Triple Cutz, and you were new to local search marketing, you could very well make the mistake of only listing your business using the one singular keyword term &#8220;Triple Cutz&#8221; or &#8220;Triple Cutz hair studio. &#8221;  Unless you are already established in your industry and have lots of buzz going on around town about your business, or you are spending a small fortune on other forms of media like newspapers or radio commercials, these keyword phrases and search terms are basically useless.  Most people will not be searching for your particular business.  Instead, they will be using more general terms like &#8220;Hair Salon Atlanta,&#8221; &#8220;Atlanta Best Perms,&#8221; &#8220;Atlanta Hair Highlights,&#8221; &#8220;New Hair Style Atlanta&#8221; etc.   And now with the evolution of &#8220;geo-targeted&#8221; search engines, your local prospects can find you locally without even using the term &#8220;Atlanta&#8221; or &#8220;Boston&#8221; or what have you.  Search engines can now detect your IP address and serve up ads based on your location.  IP addresses are similar to &#8220;area codes&#8221; in that you can tell what part of the country or region or city someone is in based on their computer&#8217;s IP address.  The best way to approach local search marketing for your particular business, regardless of the size of your business or the products or services that you sell, is to find a professional online advertising agency to handle this task for you.   A good, well seasoned Internet marketing company who understands local search marketing will not only be able to get you to the top of the search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc) for the obvious keywords that are suitable for your business in your particular city or town, but they will also be able to find a wide array of other search terms and key phrases that could be extremely valuable to your business as well.  Although it would take extensive keyword research by a professional Internet advertising company to come up with some solid examples of &#8220;off beat search terms&#8221; that could really help your business grow and prosper, some general ideas would be to focus on what&#8217;s called &#8220;complementary keywords&#8221; as well as common misspellings of keywords.  Most business owners would be shocked to know how many people type in misspelled keywords on a daily basis.  There is literally no competition for misspelled keywords, even though there is enormous potential just sitting there waiting for the right person… or the smart person.  <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Depending on who&#8217;s doing the talking, Google&#8217;s new Enhanced Local Listings (currently available only in Houston, Texas and San Jose, California) are either a boon to small businesses with small advertising budgets or the end of organic search as we know it.  Here is what all the heated discussion is about. The Google Lat Long Blog describes it as &#8220;a new ads feature in local search that allows business owners to enhance their listings. &#8221; Apparently, it is not a matter of &#8220;buying position&#8221; on the SERP: &#8220;When the listing shows up in your Google. com or Google Maps search results, the enhancement also appears alongside it. &#8220;The &#8220;enhancement&#8221; as you can see in the screen shot is a little yellow flag.  Your listing will also have &#8220;sponsored&#8221; next to it.  The enhancement is something you can click on to go to the business&#8217;s website, pictures, menu, or coupon.  On the screen shot you can see that the flag will take you to the company&#8217;s website. There are plenty of people, though, who see this as a slippery slope to paid rankings.  Some of them believe that as the program grows, it will become competitive (like AdWords), and the position will be determined by the highest bids.  Others think that if the program is nationwide, everyone will pay $25 per month and the enhanced listings will no longer stand out in a sea of little yellow flags. Then there are those who believe that now Google has its big toe in the door, eventually there will be a more complex structure for price and what it gets you and after people get used to it, paying for real estate on page 1 of the SERPs will have worked its way into the mix without anyone thinking its any big deal.  Boom: the end of Google&#8217;s organic search results.  With AdWords already putting a price on 10 to 20% of the space on each SERP, Google will eventually want the other 80 to 90% to be monetized too.  Other conjecture for Google&#8217;s nefarious plan include offering something like number one placement with purchase of a &#8220;premium&#8221; package. The most likely scenario is that the program will roll out nationwide, everyone will pay $25 for a flag, and therefore nobody&#8217;s listing will stand out (except, ironically, maybe the oddball who ranks and doesn&#8217;t buy the enhanced listing).  Pay for rank? I don&#8217;t know.  It seems as if Google has an awful lot to lose by doing that.  I suppose it is possible that Google thinks it&#8217;s so big and dominates search engines so thoroughly that they could pretty much do what they want and get away with it. But if that were the case, it would make the time ripe for a new or open-source search engine to bust out due to its simple interface and truly organic listings.  Or else Google could separate their search into something like &#8220;New Coke&#8221; (where businesses can buy rank) and &#8220;Classic Coke&#8221; (where the results are pure and ads are either gone or could be turned off).  That would allow those who actually care about relevance and quality to do their thing while the ones that were OK with buying ranking could have their own search universe too.  <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the surface utilising LSEO (local search engine optimisation) may appear to be narrowing your audience pool by specifically targeting certain geological locations.  After all, isnât the whole point of optimising your website for search engines intended to give you greater access to a wider audience?  By scratching below the surface of local business search engine optimisation you should, very quickly, come to appreciate what exactly LSEO could do for your business.  Bill Jones and Andy Smith run competing window cleaning services based in Bradford, West Yorkshire and being quite astute businessmen, had invested some of their hard earned money in building a website for their services.  Bill had done his research and knew that a way to get noticed by search engines was to incorporate SEO into his website.  Andy, however, knew a man that knew a man who was an online marketing specialist and was advised to gear his internet advertising ideas towards optimising his website for the local area.  Bill Jonesâ Window Cleaning Service website leapt up the page rankings from 10,000 to 120.  A huge jump, but still only on page 3 of the search engine results pages.  He did notice that he seemed to be getting much more visitor traffic to his website, but, for some reason that did not turn into new customers for his business.  It was still early days though.  Across town, Andy was rushed off his feet.  Andy Smithâs Window Cleaning Service in Bradford website was bringing him in more business than he ever thought possible.  By creating website content that included reference to his location, Andy Smith, the Bradford window cleaner was using internet advertising to market himself to potential new clients in his local area.  As internet marketing specialists UKIM can advise your business which online advertising strategies are the right onesÂ  forÂ  your business growth and canÂ  offer their expertise of SEO, LSEO, pay per click and many other optionsÂ  available that will, not only, increase traffic to your website, but will result in increased sales for you.  Back to Bill Jonesâ website: Bill gets repeated email enquiries from Betty-Lou Crinkle from Dallas, wondering what day he cleans windows in Texas! <br/><br/></p>
