Ecommerce Sales Grow Rapidly

Latest Internet Ecommerce Shopping Results Are In

We hear so much glum and dume sometimes that I thought you should hear some good news for a change. If you are a U.S. ecommerce retailer, you are likely smiling this year. The reason for you smile is stronger than expected Internet retail sales results. Seems like all we hear from the news reports is job losses, company closings and foreclosure data. 

If you are considering starting a new business, we suggest you consider using the Internet as a primary sales platform for your products and services. The growth in Internet sales is phenominal to say the least. Check out the graph provided by comScore below. It shows that overall Internet sales have almost doubled in the past 5 years. You can be a part of that by starting an Internet based business for yourself. No more worrying about your boss. No more worrying about traffic. You set your own schedule and your level of effort determines how successful your business will become. Take a look at the summary info from the lates comScore news release we received. It will renew your faith in the U.S. economy and business in general.

Facebook - How Powerful Is This Social Media Giant?

Facebook

Second Most Visited Website In The World!

We believe that Companies operating in today's ultra competitive marketplace should be actively using Facebook. This Social Media giant has transformed the social media landscape forever. Our marketing team recommends custom Facebook Fan pages to all clients we serve. These Facebook pages offer a wonderful branding platform, provide your firm with a way of connecting with the community and also provide a method of lead generation.

Take a look at the various snap shots of Custom Facebook Fan Pages we have created. These pages are extremely affordable and every company needs to have one. The good news is these Fan pages are extremely affordable. Facebook has provided an application called FBML that allows for Facebook users to create and drop in HTML code for the Fan Pages.

Carithers Flowers - Atlanta's #1 Florist

Facebook Fan page above was created for Carithers Flowers of Atlanta. Carithers Flowers is a second generation family owned floral design and flower delivery firm. Carithers has been named the number one florist in Atlanta by NBC Tv. In addition, the firm has won the prestigious "Consumers Choice Award" 12 consecutive years in a row.

643 DP Athleltics

643 DP Baseball Academy is headquarted out of Marietta, Georgia. The organization was formed in 2007 by Atlanta resident and super star coach, Danny Pralgo. If you have a son that plays youth baseball, you need to drop by the 643 Baseball fields in downtown Marietta.

Pete's Plumbing

Pete's Plumbing is a second generation, family owned and operated plumbing firm. They have been proudly serving the Atlanta area for more than 40 years.

The power of Facebook is growing by the day. We are seeing people of all ages embracing this social media powerhouse. Families are reconnecting and actually using Facebook to communicate with loved ones all over the World. People are finding and reconnecting the friends that they haven't spoken with since High School. Young and old alike are using Facebook as a primary communication tool. We believe that ultimately you will see a significant decrease in overall letter delivery at the U.S. Postal Service, due in large part to the ease of communication that Facebook provides. It's so simple to send a message to anyone you are connected with. In addition, you will soon see a rapid expansion of this Social Media tool on PDA (Hand Held) devices. Companies like At&t, Apple, Microsoft, Verizon, Sprint and others all now carry a full line of mobile phones, blackberry, IPad and touch screen tablet devices, all capable of sending and receiving Facebook messages.

If you want to hear more about Facebook or Custom Fan Pages we can certainly help fill in more of the blanks for you.

Should You Try Google Adwords On Your Own?

Flyline Search Marketing

Atlanta, Georgia

1-866-258-5511

Flyline Search Marketing is a full service Internet Marketing Agency. Our main office is located here in Atlanta, Georgia.

(www.FlylineSearchMarketing.com)

We have recently been contacted by a number of companies who have been attempting to design and manage Google Adwords campaigns on their own. Each time we take one of these calls, the message is almost always the same. First, the client tells us how much time this activity is consuming and that they are finding they simply do not have time to manage these programs. Second, they always seem to mention that they don't truly understand the process very well. What seemed easy at first has turned out to be much more complex than we imagined. Then, they finally get into the real nuts and bolts of why they called our firm. The real reason is, the program worked for them initially. It drove some leads and they liked the result. Now, more competition has moved into their advertising catagory. Their ads aren't producing the leads and new clients they once did and they don't know what to do to fix the problem.  

Folks, you honestly need to hire a Google Adwords Certified Partner, like Flyline Search Marketing. Google Certified Partners have been through extensive training. They generally manage a large portfolio of Google Adwords users and have experience in properly designing programs that produce results. Flyline Search Marketing has a tremendous background with Adwords and has custom designed programs for many firms around the United States. We have handled major ecommerce firms (Do Your Own Pest Control, Carithers Flowers), large training organizations (Center For Leadership Studies) and many small to medium sized businesses seeking to reach local customers in their area. Our program designers focus on generating "Sales Conversions." When we ask most of the do it yourselfers what they focus on, they say, "Clicks." Folks, you do need to generate high quality sales leads and that does required clicks to occur, but, clicks cannot be your central focus. 

In order to acheive higher click through rates, generate more high quality sales leads and create actual sales conversions, you really need to hire a Google Adwords Certified Partner. Flyline Search Marketing makes it a priority not only build superior Google Adwords programs, we also expend a great deal of energy on educating our clients in the fine art of Internet Marketing. One hint we will give to the do it yourselfers. When you design your Google Adwords campaigns, make sure your Google ads are themed appropriately and matched to the correct page of your website that specifically talks to the subject matter of your Google ads. We call that creating "Synergy."

One more tip. If you are currently using pay per click, and  utilizing Google Analytics, Google Conversion code and Phone Call tracking and monitoring, you are not going to be able to maximize the value of your program. Leaving out these critical elements means you will spend more money on your pay per click program than is necessary. Again, we encourage you to hire a Google Adwords Certified Partner. If you are using a certified company, you should expect them to share actual Google reports, analytics and conversion data with you.

One last thing. In order to be successful with Internet Marketing. You must have a solid website. Your website must be search engine optimized to ensure it effectively produces organic traffic.

Importance of Social Media, Blogging & Article Marketing

Facebook, Youtube, Linkedin, Myspace, Twitter, Google Blogger, Wordpress Blogging, Ezine Article Marketing

Have you set up accounts on these Social Media, Blogging or Article Marketing sites for your business yet? If so, what kind of results have you seen thus far? We are very open to your comments so please send them to us at Flyline@bellsouth.net. If not, why not? 

Flyline Search Marketing

1-866-258-5511

(www.FlylineSearchMarketing.com)

Before you set up these accounts we suggest that you need to sit down with your business associates and especially your marketing team and determine what your specific business goals are. It is incredibly important to your business to ensure that your marketing efforts and even more importantly your marketing expenditures are targeting to the right advertising mix.

What Are Your Companies Marketing Goals?

1. Driving Traffic To Your Web Site
2. Lead Generation For Your Sales Team
3. Trying To Increase Brand Awareness
4. Increasing Sales To Drive Higher Revenues
5. Securing More Market Share

All of the above are certainly worthy goals. All of the above are absolutely great things to focus your team's energies around. The biggest problem most business owners have is, we want to accomplish them all right now. The second biggest problem we have is, we don't have the available marketing funds to actually pursue these important business elements. 

What does any of this have to do with Social Media Marketing, Blogging or Article Marketing? Well, let me share a couple of thoughts from my point of view. 

Facebook

If every employee you have creates a Facebook account and creates a link to your main web site and to your company blogs your firm will benefit organically on the Search engines. If your firm creates a facebook fan page and actively markets it's presence, your firm will benefit. The search engines give high relevance to Facebook and links from Facebook. Your fan page helps increase brand awareness and also helps to generate much needed links to your web site and blogs. The traffic created by your Facebook efforts virtually costs your firm nothing to produce. 

Youtube

Streaming Video has become incredibly popular with people all over the World. In fact, Youtube is now the third most visited site in the World. Should your firm create a Youtube account? Absolutely! Not only an account, you need to create a Youtube channel. Take a look at the Youtube Channel we created for our firm Flyline Search Marketing (http://www.youtube.com/FlylineSEMvideo). The cost of producing Youtube videos is extremely low. The Youtube account set-up is actually free. The reach of Youtube is amazing. Build Subscribers, Friends and Links for very little expense.

Twitter

If you haven't tried Twitter, you absolutely must. Take a moment and visit my personal Twitter account (http://twitter.com/MarkWLein). This account was created approximately 6 months ago. At this point the site has a very strong Google Page Rank (4). The followers that I have are all interested in seeing my Tweets and communicating directly with me. Twitter is now the 11th most highly visited site in the World. The search engines really like Twitter. Links that are displayed with your tweets often end up being indexed by the search engines. We see Twitter as first and foremost, an incredible communication tool. It introduces you to other business owners with an interest in getting to know you. The other attributes like, new in-bound links, potential increases in brand awareness, possible new business leads, are all just wonderful side effects of a tremendous communications web site. Great job Twitter!

Long story short, your firm must participate in the game. You cannot allow your competitors to build their Social Media programs while your firm sits on the sidelines. Now for the really important piece. You really should seek out the services of a professional SEO and Social Media Marketing firm to help you with this process. One huge mistake made by businesses all over the country is to create Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Linkedin accounts, Google Blogs and Article marketing sites, then not use them consistently. The Search engines do not reward part time bloggers, part time article writers or people who simply set up a Social Media account then ignor it because they are too busy to manage it. In fact, creating all these sites and then doing a poor job of maintaining them may actually be worse organically than never creating them in the first place.

Let me hear your thoughts? Send your emails to flyline@bellsouth.net.

How Does Your Firm React To New Technology?

Flyline Search Marketing

1-866-258-5511

Atlanta and Albuquerque

New technologies are changing our lives each and every day. Take this new high tech wind turbine for instance. This photo was taken while traveling between Fort Worth, Texas and Albuquerque, New Mexico. The folks who created this clean energy technology have taken wind power generation to a whole new level. They didn't listen to the naysayers who told them that wind power was not a practical energy solution. Instead, they have been steadily creating wind farms all over the United States. At first there were just a few, now you can find highly developed wind farms in Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota and North Dakota. For a complete list of wind generation capabilities by state follow this link (Wind Generation Stats By State - Wikipedia).

Flyline Search Marketing believes that the development of Social Media Marketing is another new technology that has it's own group of naysayers. There are those in the industry who feel that social media marketing is simply a fad and will likely go the way of the bell bottom jean at some point. We understand and respect that point of view, but, respectfully disagree. Lets take a more indepth look at Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and Youtube for just a minute. Just a few short years ago, these new Social Media sites burst onto the scene. Each began to slowly build a following. That trend has accelerated at an incredibly rapid rate. Today, Facebook enjoys an Alexa traffic rank of number 2, Youtube has a traffic rank of 3, Twitter has a rank of 11 and Linkedin now has a traffic rank of 28. These sites have quickly become some of the most popular and visited sites in the world. The only site in the world with more traffic than the Social Media giant Facebook is Google itself. Google is currently ranked the number 1 most visited site in the world.

We run into companies everyday who advertise on Google, but, have not started a Social Media Marketing program. Folks, I am not talking about just small to medium sized firms. There are companies out there who generate 10+ million in revenues each year, yet still have not created a Facebook fan page, or created a Twitter account for their firm. Most say it's just too time consuming to participate in the Social Media marketing arena. Others say, they don't understand the various Social Media sites and don't have the time to slow down and learn them. Our response is the same to these firms. In order to protect and grow your market share, you must utilize Social Media Marketing as part of your global Internet Marketing Strategy. If you need help in understanding where to start, we encourage you to give us a call at 1-866-258-5511 or visit our web site (www.FlylineSearchMarketing.com) to learn more about the Social Media craze.

SEO - Search Engine Optimization

Flyline Search Marketing

Atlanta's and Albuquerque's Premier Internet Marketing Agency

1-866-258-5511

(www.FlylineSearchMarketing.com)

Pay Per Click, Search Engine Optimziation, Social Media Marketing, Blogging, Press Release Services, Streaming Video Production and so much more.


We highly recommend that you focus equal energy on Sponsored Links advertising, Social Media Marketing and SEO. Not doing all three is a huge mistake in our opinion. Here is what you need to understand about SEO (Search Engine Optimization).


Search Engine Optimization - "On-Page SEO"

1) META TAGS - (Meta Titles, Meta Descriptions and Meta Keywords)

Meta Tags are a critical component of SEO. Each web site page should have a unique set of tags. Meta tags are contained within the source code of the site. The three Meta tags that need to be focused on are the Meta Titles, Meta Descriptions and Meta Keyword tags. Google will allow you to market 2 - 3 keyword phrases per Meta Title. The Meta Titles are mission critical! They are seen as highly relevant by all the search engines.


To check your Meta tags, pull up your web site, then take your cursor up to the Internet Explorer toolbar and left click on View. When the drop down pops up, left click again on Source. That will reveal to you the source code for the page you are viewing. Check each page of your web site and see if the titles, descriptions and keywords are different. Most webmasters who build cheap web sites don't provide unique Titles, Descriptions or Keyword tags. Many times they just do one set that is used on all pages. The majority of the free site building tools will also not effectively cover this base either.


If a problem is detected, fixing the problem requires the following:

Access to the source code. If you have an effective CMS (Content Management Tool), this is generally relatively simple. If not, you may have to go back to your webmaster or find a new webmaster to assist you. The client management tool that we provide with each web site Flyline Search Marketing builds, comes with an effective backend admin tool that allows for easy, straight forward interaction with the Meta Tags. If you didn't get a CMS tool with your site, you will either need to find a webmaster who can integrate one of the many effective tools out there, or come to Flyline Search Marketing and allow us to rebuild a proper site, with admin tool for you.

2) WEB SITE PAGE TITLES OR HEADLINES

Once you have the Meta Tags figured out for each page, you can go into the content area of the page and support your Meta Titles by creating a Keyword Phrase, at or very near the top of the page, that corresponds directly to the Meta Title tags you have created. On the Flyline Search Marketing Admin tool, that is a simple procedure. If your site does not have a similar Admin tool, you again must seek the help of your webmaster or find a new webmaster to assist you. Standard SEO best practices are to use no more than a maximum of 6 Heading tags per content page. Check your Admin tool, it should only allow 6. If it allows more, we encourage you to refrain to using more than the 6. We target sites we design to use no more than 2 to 3 per page and that seems to work relatively well for our clients. 


3) WEB SITE PAGE CONTENT

We recommend that your web site pages be written in a keyword rich manner. Place your most important terms near the top of your page and the lesser important terms further down. You should write your content with the potential buyer in mind. Meaning, each page is an entry door into your business so just understand that you should have no wasted opportunities to wow your prospective clients. Tell a compelling story with your content and you might just improve your sales conversions. If your page is all about SEO and not about your clients, you will lose conversions and will ultimately end up unsatisfied with your results.


4) ANCHOR LINKS IN CONTENT

Check out the home page of the (www.FlylineSearchMarketing.com) web site. We created page links on some of the keywords so that our site visitors can easily navigate to other parts of our web site that provide information on the keyword terms we linked. This navigation technique is what we like to call anchor links. Anchor links can be contained within your web site, moving your site visitors from page to page, or they can be on other peoples web sites, moving their site visitors to your site. Google seems to reward sites that have solid navigation and page links that effectively help the site user to find the information they want. Creating anchor links is easy if the client has an easy to use, straight forward CMS Admin tool. If not, you are back to paying someone to either integrate one into your site or building a whole new web site that comes with a CMS tool.

5) SITE MAP

Some web sites have a site map link displayed at the bottom of the web site. That map helps the site user and the search engine spider navigate the page. On sites like the Flyline Search Marketing web site, the map is simply built using a site map creation tool and submitted to the search engines in an automated format. Either way works fine. We utilize our strategic partner, Andrew Reilley to build our site maps. Google does offer suggested site mapping tools that they prefer. You can get a list of those tools by setting up a Google Webmaster Tools account.




Search Engine Optimization - "On-Page SEO"

1) Link Building Program

To do natural link building you need to create blogs, social media sites, create and submit internet press releases, engage in article marketing, contact other site owners and request links or simply buy listings on other web sites that give you a link when you set up your account with them: (http://www.business.com/, http://www.superpages.com/, http://www.kudzu.com/).


2) Anchor Links

A link has two ends -- called anchors -- and a direction. The link starts at the "source" anchor and points to the "destination" anchor, which may be any Web resource (e.g., an image, a video clip, a sound bite, a program, an HTML document, an element within an HTML document, etc.). Building solid anchor links from relevant web sites back to our web site is mission critical. A link that redirects someone from a relevant web site back to our web site is called a one way in-bound link. If we create a link back to the originating site, the link becomes a reciprocal link. The search engines place high relevance to one-way in-bound links. They place a lesser value on reciprocal links.

We hope you find this information helpful to you? If you just get these things right you will be ahead of the power curve when it comes to SEO. There is so much more that can be done to improve the performance of your web site. We highly recommend that you find a reliable, honest, professional SEO firm, like Flyline Search Marketing to help guide you through these waters. Be careful not to listen to those who guarantee first page organic placement. Often times their techniques might produce a short term reward. By the time you figure out they took your money and fled, your site has already been penalized by the search engines for improper techniques. Let us know if we can be of any assistance to you. We can be reached at 1-866-258-5511.

Youtube - Video Marketing

Video is one of the most powerful marketing tools available to companies trying to market the products and services. Currently, Youtube is rated the third most popular site on in the World by the Alexa web site ranking service. Folks, that is a powerful number and should instantly resonate with you. The only way you get a traffic rank of 3 on Alexa is you must generate an incredible amount of site traffic that is sustained over time. You also must have a tremendous number of one way in-bound links to your site that are coming from other web sites viewed as having relevance by the search engines. In the case of Youtube, Alexa has picked up 686,159 one way links pointing to the Youtube web site.

Flyline Search Marketing set up our Youtube account October of 2009. To date, we have uploaded a total of 12 videos to our Youtube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/FlylineSEMvideo). We have 10 subscribers and 9 friends thus far. Our goal is to double that number by the end of the year. In our case, the primary focus for our videos is producing nature videos of streams, mountains, lakes, wildlife, national parks and of course informational videos for our clients offering Internet Marketing advice and guidance. The goal is to provide value to our subscribers as opposed to just trying to sell them something. Our aim is to leave a lasting legacy for our children and our grandchildrens generation. Lets show them how beautiful our great country is and maybe they will want to get out and enjoy the great outdoors.

That said, using Youtube will increase our overall brand awareness and should position Flyline to connect with the younger generation and to reach out in a manner that they enjoy and appreciate. You know, sales and marketing were never this fun in the 70's, 80's and 90's. How cool are the marketing toys we have to ply our trade with now, compared to back in the day. Call it an opportunity to connect with the most wired generation in the history of mankind.

SEO is generally thought to involve working on both "On-Page" and "Off-Page" components. On-Page relates to the things we will do in the source code and within the content of your actual web site. Off-Page relates more to in-bound link building and creating anchor links that drive page rank and relevance with the search engines.

What is the value of Youtube?

Flyline Search Marketing set up our Youtube account about 6 months ago. We have steadily been gaining subscribers and Youtube friends since that time. We took a somewhat unique approach with our videos. Our goal was not to market our business as much as it was to provide something of interest and value to our subscribers.

Youtube has changed their policy on music that has been included with video submission. It appears that Youtube has begun to mute the audio of videos that have been submitted using audio tracks that have not met all copyright requirements. This is a major change for Youtube and will no doubt cause ripples within the Youtube user community. You will notice that a large number of videos are now without sound and include a notice displayed with the video indicating that reads: This video contains an audio track that has not been authorized by all copyright holders.

Videos can still be submitted without music or you can utilize the free service that Youtube provides, which by the way now has an expanded music list. Apparently Youtube saw the wisdom in working a new arrangement with RumbleFish to expand their library of music tracks that Youtube video account holders can pull from. The only caviat. Once you swap the original audio track on your video using Youtube's free service, Google can and does run content ads on your video while it's being viewed. These content ads follow the video to Facebook and other sites that you may have linked your Youtube videos to. Google is likely going to see some nice revenue gains from this latest move. Advertisers are going to be excited about getting their brand names in front of so many users. The bet by Youtube and Google is, the Youtube user community will accept the change.

Give Google credit for a very smart marketing move. In the end, there is an option available on the video that allows you to click the ads off. I suspect knowing the Youtube community, many will hit the "X" option and close the ads out while they enjoy the video.

Check out this link on Youtube to see how the new Content ad option is working. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNfANTUC5AA)

Flyline Search Marketing CEO, Mark Lein, will be conducting a private Internet Marketing Strategy session for a distinguished group of Atlanta business leaders. The session will last an hour and a half and is being conducted at the Druid Hills Country Club on March 31, 2010. Flyline Search Marketing President, Pam Russom, will be conducting a similar Internet Marketing seminar on March 23, 2010 for a group of Christian business owners in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area. Her presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, March 23rd at 11:00 am at the Koinonia Coffee House in Albuquerque, NM. (http://www.koinonianm.com/). Flyline Search Marketing offers free Internet Marketing seminars for business groups in the Atlanta, Georgia and Albuquerque, New Mexico metropolitan areas.

Mr Lein's will be speaking extensively around Internet Marketing Strategy Development. His topics include: web site development, search engine marketing, search engine optimization, social media marketing, blogging, press releases and more. Mrs. Russom will be presenting the first in a series of Internet Marketing discussions to Believer’s in Business (BIB). This council is an established Christian business owners networking and business development group. BIB has over 40 members in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area and meets twice monthly. Membership is open to all Christian business owners. BIB membership contact is Mark Looper 505-363-6277.

The specific topic for the March 23, 2010 session is “Your website the lead machine”. The presentation will emphasize the need for building and maintaining a professionally designed website or as well like to refer to them "Your Online Store Front." Attendees will be introduced to the four critical elements of successful web site design. 1) Site Archtectue - Source Code 2) Content Strategy and Development 3) The Visual Reference Area, Site Navigation and Client Usability and 4) The Importance of your Sales Message, your Graphics and the overall Aesthetics.

Think of your web site as your online store front. Just like any department store you've ever walked into, what was your first impression? If it was postive, you likely have been back. If it was negative you likely never shopped there again. The Internet has made it easier than ever to simply walk out and never return. You have to make that all important connection with the client and not just on your home page. Unlike the traditional store front with one main entry way, your web site has many pages. Every single page is a doorway to your business with which prospective clients may enter. The average web site visitor stays on a site less than 8 seconds on average, unless something on that site draws them in. A first impression has never been so important!

Attendance at these sessions is free to BIB members. If you wish to attend please contact Mark Looper 505-363-6277 oldshepmark@gmail.com. If you are not a BIB member, but are interested in contacting Pam about conducting similar Internet Marketing seminars for your firm or group, please contact her at 505-328-4321 or email her at Pam@FlylineSearchMarketing.com.
