    Well, it was an interesting week. Seems everyone is at the SMX Advanced this week, so it was a little slow. I thought I would wrap up a few bits of news for a nice Friday informative. I haven’t been blogging a lot lately (seems less and less every week), but that’s just a sign that SEO Factor is doing well. Catch 22 I guess.

    First, I should really apologize for not posting in a while. I’ve been super busy lates. I know that’s not an excuse, but it’s the truth. However, there are some great posts and happenings this week that I wanted to link to. I have a couple of posts coming next week, so there will be something good to read.

    I always like it when Google gives a little guidance in a process. Especially one so critical as moving a site from one domain to another. The larger the site, the more of a pain the whole ordeal can be. Today, the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog gives us some best practices for moving a website.

    Social media is big talk these days. From news stories about the amount of money a social media site is “worth,” to firms scurrying to offer “social media services,” it’s difficult to turn your computer on without seeing or hearing something. But honestly, how do you test the power?

    Shimon Sandler wrote an interesting article on CEO Bloggers and whether or not they should clear their posts throught their legal department that got me thinking about my current situation with company blogs. I love to push the idea of a blog to my clients, but with a strong air of caution. I’m also in a constant uphill battle with an agency I work for to either take their blog seriously, or remove it all together. I thought this would be a great time to go over some of the reasons not to start a blog.

    I saw an interesting story on the news today here in Jacksonville, FL. The story was relating to the website ratemycop.com, and its validity in the eyes of the resedents here in the city.

    With a massive poll of 2 people, WJXT Jacksonville returned the results. Half of the 2 people said they would use the site as a means of both investigating a police officer, and as a way to contribute experiences. The other half of the 2 people stated that they would take any information on the site with a grain of salt.

    MySpace. Flickr. Facebook. The plethora of social bookmarking sites. So many avenues to promote your site, so few people doing so with reserve. These are all very viable ways to promote products, services, blogs, etc., but there are a few things that you should consider when making use of a social media to market yourself.

    This post isn’t meant for the veteran Social Marketer, but for those that are just now considering it’s application to your business, and need a few pointers.

  • Videos For Google Maps, And Small Business Uses

    Mike Blumenthal noted on his blog, that Steve Espinosa noted on his blog (makes you wonder what we bloggers do all day, doesn’t it) that Google Maps is now allowing for the upload of videos. I didn’t want to only source Steve because Mike expanded on the topic with some nice pictures. So, what does this mean for the small business? Well, let’s brainstorm.

    How About Real Estate
    The industry is tough right now, so they could use all the help they could get. If you could keep up with it, why not showcase 5 of the nicest properties for sale? How about an educational/sales pitch video?

    Local Web Designers
    Believe it or not, web design promotion actually does rather well in a local regard. Perhaps uploading some tutorial videos would be in order. Or a montage of previous works in a portfolio manner.

    Local Eatery
    A nice video of your chef creating one of your signature meals, or a few shots of something to make your mouth water.

    Local Hardware
    I love those Home Depot classes on the weekends (do they still do that?). Why not get a few “fix your pipes in 5 easy steps” videos?

    Doctors/Medicine
    A video on common ailments and their cures (offered at your office, of course).

    Local Hooters
    Let’s try to keep this family-friendly guys.

    Local Bar
    A video of last week’s live band and a few shots of everyone having a good time.

    Hotels
    Once of the single most searched local subjects. Those nice views that can’t be wrapped up in a few images, or a video of people having a great time at the pool or spa.

    You pretty much get the idea. You might be asking, “couldn’t we just upload this stuff to YouTube?” Yes, you can. But these are very tergeted videos for your local area. The only problem I have with the videos is that you don’t see them unless you look at the “photos” for the listing. They do come up above, but I was hoping there would be something to call attention to it. I’m sure this will receive attention.

    With this, and any other post, please read the disclaimer.

    While browsing over the latest Website Magazine, I happen upon an article titled “Landing Pages: SEO vs. SEM.” I first think to myself, “gee, isn’t the argument over by now?” It’s really common knowledge that SEO and PPC need to work together to be of greatest benefit.

    This is a tricky subject. I really don’t like to cover it because I feel that sometimes the point is lost in translation, but I would rather explain it here the best I can as opposed to my clients/potential clients catching something online I don’t agree with. So today, I’m going to discuss identifying a quality directory.

    As many blogs and sources I read, you would think that I share them a little more on my blog. Not too sure why I don’t, but I think I’m going to try. Especially the newer ones that are popping up and producing some really great stuff. Today, I want to shine a little light on a very important (if not tied for the most important) aspect of SEO, and an awesome blog dedicated to the subject.

    I wanted to post something this week about the prices we SEOs charge, and what you can expect to see as “the norm.” However, sometimes, you catch a few other posts that do the subject justice. So, I want to showcase 2 of those recent posts.

    Don’t worry, I’m getting some information together for the SEO eBook for this subject, but for now, these are great reads.

    Today’s post is from a guest, Brenton Crozier. He is a freelance copywriter with whom I work closely on many projects. I asked him to give me something to help promote his new website, and he was all too happy to oblige. Thanks, Brenton!

    As part of my initiative to take my freelancing SEO services more seriously, I decided to branch out to communities comprised of more than just other Internet marketers (sorry Sphinn, I still love you though).
