Mobile web makes it crucial for businesses to be listed in location-sensitive searches

Los Angeles, CA – www.nationalpositions.com – National Positions today announced the addition of 20 local search directories to its already popular Local Search program. Client results will now show up in a local search distribution network of over 100 portals, Yellow Book and local directories, local search maps as well as search engines results.  New directories have been specifically added for mobile users while most current listings have been enhanced for those searching on smart phones and other mobile devices.

ComScore Inc. research reports that over 3.4 billion Local Searches were conducted each month in 2009 and that most respondents prefer to buy from a local business.  The explosion of the smartphone has made it more important than ever for companies to be listed in location-sensitive searches, as more and more consumers turn to their mobile devices when searching for products and services.  As a result, the Kelsey Group predicts that the percentage of mobile searches that have local content will increase from 28 percent in 2008 to over 35 percent in 2013.

“With more than 90% of US consumers online, there has never been a better time to integrate local search engine optimization (LSEO) into your Internet Marketing Strategy,” explains Bernard May, President of National Positions. “While a few years ago it might have been sufficient to get your business listed in the correct Yellow book, companies now have to make sure they are listed in the correct Local Internet Search results”.

The Local Search product from National Positions gives businesses improved visibility online by creating, submitting and optimizing the information using a proprietary, hierarchical taxonomy engine.

Video is one of the quickest ways to achieve top organic search results.

Los Angeles, CA – www.nationalpositions.com — National Positions, the leader in Search Engine Optimization, announced today the addition of Video Search Engine Optimization (VSEO) to their suite of proven Internet Marketing products.  With YouTube’s phenomenal popularity and with search engines returning much more than just text results, website owners now have an excellent opportunity to get their videos ranked on YouTube™ as well as on the first page of Google™.

eMarketer™ reports that more than 66.8% of companies plan to utilize online video to generate more business on the web, making video one of the hottest promotion tools available today. Video Search Engine Optimization (VSEO) from National Positions offers one of the best and most cost-effective opportunities to drive targeted traffic to a site in a medium that web visitors love.

Changes in the search engine landscape are one key reason for incorporating a VSEO strategy. For example, Google’s Universal Search offers blended results or a mixture of news, shopping, images and video results.  In an effort to ensure that searches consistently display blended search results, search engines often reward sites that offer a blend of content types.   According to Comscore™, only 38% of searches on Google include video results, leaving plenty of room for enterprising companies to grab valuable real estate at the top of the rankings.

“VSEO offers a unique opportunity to get to the top of the search engines quickly and inexpensively. VSEO is what SEO was a decade ago,” says Bernard May, President of National Positions. “It offers exciting new opportunities for companies to dominate a segment of the Internet that is virtually untapped.”

Additionally, although there is a lot of video content available on the web only a small fraction of the content is properly submitted so that the search engines include it in their indexes. This creates an excellent opportunity to rise to the top of the results in an organic, cost-effective manner.

Perhaps most importantly is the speed with which video is displayed in the search engines.  The search engines visit video sites every few minutes—so videos appear in Google, Yahoo and Bing shortly after they are submitted, not days or weeks later.  This makes VSEO an excellent choice for new as well as highly established companies on the web.

One factor that causes many site owners to put off developing and promoting videos is the perceived cost and time investment. The VSEO product from National Positions makes video production and promotion simple and affordable.  The product includes services such as:

•    Video production
•    YouTube channel setup and optimization
•    Embedded video integration on your site
•    VSEO linking
•    Video submissions
•    Video metrics and reporting

According to Mr. Greath Owen, spokesperson for the company, the new offers, including free press release write-ups and new strategies for building links, will supplement the exclusive organic SEO tactics of the company. He expressed hope that both the existing and the prospective clients of the company would find the new offers attractive.

He was quick to add that the free SEO offers are not by any means publicity gimmicks or marketing campaigns. He said that just like any other company in the internet marketing field, Ad words Media, too, aimed to attract the maximum number of customers. However, he added that the company wanted to achieve the objective by providing quality service. He termed the new offers value-added services.

He said that Ad words Media ranked on the first page for almost all searches related to search engine optimization or online marketing. Most of the client websites, too, appear on the first page for their niche keywords.

He did not reveal the trade secrets or the reasons why Ad words Media consistently provided good results. He did offer some words of wisdom about the search engine optimization process. He said it was just like any other software or internet-based process. People have to understand the basics well and execute the plan without any hiccups.

He credited his team’s dedicated work for the good performance of his company. The team comprises professionals who clearly understand the nuances of the functioning of an SEO company, and they keep abreast of the changes in search engine algorithms. Mr. Owen believed that more than anything else understanding the search engine algorithms was the key to getting good SEO results.

He added that Ad words Media had gone beyond being just an SEO company. Now it offers services in other fields of internet marketing. He also spoke about some of the areas in which the company was offering high quality service:

1.    pay per click advertisement

There are plenty of brands that define the Web 2.0 movement: Google, MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, Digg, Wikipedia, YouTube. Each of these brands is different in their approach. For example, Wikipedia remains a not-for-profit company that doesn’t allow advertising on the site. Google, on the other hand, is huge, publically traded company that has redefined online advertising for nearly everyone who operates a business online.

Marketing using Web 2.0 methods is relatively new, but enterprising marketers have been finding ways to use Web 2.0 to their advantage. Remember that there are no hard and fast rules—yet. Marketers may find new and innovative ways to use these technologies that aren’t listed here, especially if they keep their eyes and minds open for ways to gain traffic, market, and optimize for search engines.

One element of Web 2.0 applications is their use of folksonomy to help categorize information. Folksonomy ultimately helps save money for the developer when users control the content they read, and also increases accountability. With more users online with greater control, those users will keep incorrect information in check in the interest of accuracy and fairness. Websites like YouTube and Wikipedia are heavily dependent on social control. In fact, the vast majority of content on these two websites is based on social control. Users are the ones who upload the content. Users will also tag and categorize the content so the data can easily be found by other users. When other users spot errors, obscene material, or information that is otherwise objectionable, the user has immediate control over the content and can change the problem information instantly without having to wait for a human editor. As a particular application grows more popular, the accuracy will presumably increase as more people correct mistakes within the content they read.

Cost Effectiveness

As the capability of Web software increases, the cost of running a Web application or other website online has actually dropped in comparison. As software becomes more effective and disk space becomes cheaper, the possibilities online will only continue to expand. Moore’s Law was a principle created by Intel co-founder Gordon E Moore in the sixties. Moore’s Law stated that the capability of electronics will continue to grow at almost exponential rates, doubling every two years. When Moore wrote his influential paper, he was actually discussing the capability of transistors, but this law has been applied to many aspects of electronics, most notably hard disk space. Anyone who pays attention to computer technology has probably noticed that computers are getting cheaper and cheaper, and the amount of storage on those computers is getting larger and larger. Moore’s Law describes this increase in storage space and also tells us that, in the future, this trend is likely to continue.

So what does storage space have to do with Web applications? As storage space becomes cheaper to have and maintain, while also getting smaller in size, more companies can rely on Web applications that take up a lot of space. Take, for example, Wikipedia, a site that has literally millions of entries from people all over the world. Wikipedia also stores image, video, and audio files uploaded by users of the program. Fifteen years ago, storing all of this information on a computer would have been too costly for a nonprofit organization, but today this kind of storage space is much cheaper, making Wikipedia a possibility.

Sites like Digg, Del.icio.us, and Backflip allow registered users to store all of their bookmarks in one location online, which allows them to access their bookmarks from any place that has Internet access, regardless of the web browser they use. These sites also add customization and interactivity to this feature where users can post and make comments about popular links on the site. These sites are popular because users can customize and control their online experience by storing any of the many websites they see in a day, all in one place. Users also love this technology because they can share their bookmarks with others.

Websites can cater to this market by making linking to various articles easy to do. For example, if a user were to read an interesting article on the New York Times website, he or she can easily save the link to the social bookmarking site of choice. The more people who bookmark the same link, the more popular the link becomes. An article’s popularity can bring in significant traffic to a site. If a website includes articles and other updated content, learning the ins and outs of social bookmarking sites can add value to the quest for website visitors. Catering to these sites is free and can potentially bring in a lot of traffic.

Some Web marketers will use social bookmarking to increase visibility within search engines, but also within the social bookmarking site itself. Imagine that a webmaster posted an interesting article on his site. People visit this article frequently and mark the link to that article in their social bookmarking accounts. Now search engines will know that his website is well linked and well respected.

Also, because of the popularity of that article, people who visit that social bookmarking site will also come across the article while using the social bookmarking site, making the link even more popular. Social bookmarking can have a profound snowball effect on traffic, which is why social bookmarking is a marketing favorite. Unfortunately, marketers have very little control over this process. They can’t make people mark a site, they can only entice them. This is why being mindful of having good, useable content is still important.

One of the reasons that Web 2.0 is considerably improving the experience for the user is that the emphasis of Web 2.0 is making content highly accessible. Also, Web 2.0 is encouraging sharing among users, further solidifying the social nature of these new Web applications.

What Web marketers have discovered over the years is that people are highly reluctant to pay for information online. The strong popularity of music and video piracy is a testament to this. An entire generation has grown up on the idea that music, movies, and TV shows should be free and openly available to anyone. The Recording Industry Association of America (the RIAA) begs to differ. This was the organization that began suing people, including children and grandmothers, for downloading music for free off of the Internet.

Why do people who pirate music matter? In essence, piracy is one of the best current examples of open access and sharing available online. There would be no piracy of copyrighted material possible if people weren’t sharing with each other. There are no websites that host pirated files for others to download. They would be immediately sued and their websites would be taken down. However, by decentralizing the process and creating software that allows easy access and sharing to others’ files, pirating files has become the greatest triumph of sharing online.

Sharing isn’t just for pirates, however. New software protocols like Bit Torrent, and the software created to handle these software types, has allowed users to directly share   files with one another over great distances. Bit Torrent allows users to stop and start downloads at their own pace as well as set the speed of  their  downloads. Though Bit Torrent files are most often used for pirating music and video files, they have also been used by nonprofit groups to transfer files. Since the files are shared directly from user to user, the nonprofit doesn’t have to pay a lot of money to buy a server to store the files, or pay the cost of bandwidth so that many people can visit that site and access those files.

Sharing and open access is spilling into other areas of the online world. For example, the site Hulu recently went live. This site works much like YouTube in that people can visit this site and stream video files. The difference is that Hulu was created as a partnership between the NBC and FOX networks and both companies have put official clips and episodes of popular TV series on the site. Users can watch their favorite TV shows whenever they want and the site is supported by the ad revenue generated by the visitors who go to that site. The shows are freely open and can be accessed by anyone, though the website is supported by ads.

Some Web experts suspect that open access and sharing will improve in the future to include more than just pirated copyrighted material. Hulu is one example of major copyright holders understanding the wants of Web users. When they provide open access to their TV shows online, they can generate ad revenue and users will always know that the files they watch will be quality and complete. If those files are primarily pirated, though, the networks generate no money off of these shows. In the future, record companies, software companies, and more may start using this model to distribute and advertise their products.

When the term “Web 2.0” was coined, the emphasis of the term wasn’t the Internet or even existing movements on the Internet, but more the software used online that would eventually drive the Web 2.0 movement. Without software, there would be no Web 2.0. New and innovative software is crucial for the development of more and better Web applications and new ideas that will draw in the interest of the Internet crowd and provide a fun, user-friendly, and social experience for anyone who wants to try.

So how does software really drive Web 2.0? All users generally see online is a Web browser of some kind, like Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Mozilla’s Firefox, and they use that browser to access information from all over the world. Users may download files and use those files locally but, for the most part, all they ever see are websites. Think about how the Web must operate on the other end, though, to see how innovative software is essential to Web 2.0. When users access information online, they are actually taking a peek at various servers, or large storage computers, all over the world.

Those servers have to do many things. They have to host, or store the websites that people visit. So if a user goes to yahoo.com, he or she is accessing information from Yahoo!’s servers through browser software. On those servers, and other servers that help run the Internet, is software that does the true dirty work of the Internet, and that software is changing.

For example, more than a decade ago, a website would probably post an HTML document as their website and each page had to be created as an individual entity. Today a website can use a database system to create various database files as well as a shell in which to place that information. This means the information can be saved once and placed onto any website by accessing the database. Software improvements will continue to increase the amount of functions available online for both Web companies and users.

To most people, a press release is something the president, lawyer, or other public figure presents in front of TV cameras on the steps of a building of significance.  In reality, press releases come in all shapes and sizes, not just huge announcements.  Hundreds of thousands of press releases are issued every day and they range from pages of information to just a sentence or two.  Traditionally, press releases are stories regarding newsworthy information about a company or industry that are given to the news media as a way to keep the news media and public informed about the company.  Any piece of information that the company releasing the press release believes is of importance to the public is given to the media through a press release.  The information could be statistics about the company, information about an upcoming event, or product information.  Whatever the information is, the press release is a way for the company to try to make the information public.

Modern media has transformed the original form of press release, which could take days to be delivered and required pages upon pages of printed information.  Today, press releases are not only delivered electronically in real time, but they are also given to the public directly.  Instead of relying on newspapers and news broadcasts as mediums, companies can ensure that the general public receives the information included in a press release and in a timely manner.  Because so many press releases are issued each day, the news media cannot publish everything that companies send them as newsworthy.  In fact, despite the importance to the company of the information included in a press release, the news media may not find the information to be interesting enough for publication.  Or, if a press release arrives on the desk of a journalist on a day that is already full of important new stories, the likelihood of that press release getting much attention lowers even more.  Relying on the news media as a middleman for distribution of information that is important to a company is not an efficient marketing action.

Modern marketing tools, such as online press releases, allow companies to bypass the limited reliability and inconsistent benefits of news media-oriented press releases.  Today, press releases are given directly to the consumer, completely shifting the orientation of what was once a strictly press-oriented form of marketing.  For example, in the past press releases were written to capture the interest of journalists, but today’s press releases are written for the consumer.  Press releases are written in a style that appeals to the consumer and are placed on the Web for consumer access.  Before, press releases needed to appeal to the news media in order to be distributed, but now, press releases need to appeal to the public directly because the public is the primary judge of its news-worthiness.

Of course, if press releases were only oriented toward the consumer, their name may as well be changed.  Press releases are also still geared toward attracting the attention of journalists and other forms of media, but instead of members of the media choosing a story from the mounds of press releases they used to get each day, they can now search for press releases that are of interest to them and can discern their interest in press releases through online press release services, which are discussed later in this chapter.  By publishing an informative and interesting press release, companies can attract the attention of both the consumer and the media, which can multiply the amount of attention they are getting just from a single press release.  This method is much more efficient than the old style, but it requires some knowledge of writing and distributing modern press releases.
