Social Media Marketing might not be for everyone

The death of SEO and New Rules Marketing

SEO used be an exclusive club, the few who knew how to follow the rules got the results in the search engines. Keyword density, inbound links, page titles...all the jargon known by a select few. This is set to change, SEO will no longer be a discipline held by those who know the tricks of getting good rankings. As Google evolves to deliver relevant search results they will strive to provide what users are really looking for. New rules of marketing is about conversations and providing good relev… Continue

Test driving Social Networking websites for John Beckley

I'm often talking to my clients about what is your social marker for your business and directors names or even staff names. I have joined a few Social Networking web sites, the idea being when someone searches Sorted Sites or John Beckley I can show what kind of sites should show up on the first page of google in order to get that credibility factor. This is not a ego trip but more an exercise in internet marketing. When some of our clients are selling land for in Cape Verde for over a million… Continue
