SEO Your Blog the Right Way
With well over 100 million blogs online, it’s certainly not easy to get noticed. But blogging is inherently SEO friendly. Why? Because search engines look for fresh content. And if you’re using your blog correctly (i.e. you’re updating it consistenly) then getting great SEO results is just a matter of time.
One good way to differentiate yourself is to find a niche. Even if you’re in a crowded industry, you have to search out niches within that industry.
This is where SEO comes in. The first thing you must do is target the keywords your customers, or potential customers, are using to find solutions in your industry. Keywords are, well, key. You want to select keywords that are popular and relevant to your site. At the same time, you don’t want to target what I call crowded keyword markets.
For example, let’s say you’re a shoe seller. Now, the keyword “shoes” is big…too big. Even if you blogged for years you probably wouldn’t be able to compete for that term. Look at your shoe business and find something you can differentiate yourself with. Are you the largest shoe seller in the county? Do you make custom boots? This may seem trivial but it’s absolutely necessary if you want your blog to rank well in the search engines.

Social Network Marketing Basics
Establishing and maintaining an active presence on social networking websites has emerged as an effective way to promote products and drive traffic to websites. These and other Web 2.0 technologies are changing the way we approach internet marketing. In this article we look at how to make the most of social network marketing.
There are many terms for this form of web promotion, including social media optimization and social media marketing. And there are also different types of websites and methods that can be used.
As with any form of internet marketing, successful social network marketing takes patience, know how, and some hard work. Social network websites are essentially online communities where people can meet, communicate, and share ideas. How you should approach your marketing campaign on these websites will depend on the size and nature of your business.
Many large companies and corporations have already established a presence on these websites. However, for smaller companies and home-based web businesses a more subtle approach is probably the better option. Rather than blatantly marketing your product, you should try to become a member of the community by making friends and joining relevant groups on websites like Facebook and MySpace.
