Search Marketing for Beginners:

When was the last time you looked under the hood of your Internet presence?:

The web is a huge part of our lives – especially if you have a business! It’s something that has to be managed and maintained just like anything else.:

If we don’t, bad things could happen.:

It’s ideal if you perform a web check up at least once a month.:

Reputation Marketing:

If you have a business to consumer model it’s crucial that you monitor your reputation.:

Today with the Internet everyone has a voice – for better or worse.:

No one needs your permission to leave feedback about you or your business.:

So to ignore it is not only not very smart, but it could be costing you money.:

There are actually tons of great tools out there but I will share with you a few of my favorites for monitoring your reputation.:

1. Google Alerts – www.google.com/alerts :

Set up Google Alerts for your name and the name of your business.:

2. Tweet Beeps – www.tweetbeep.com :

You can set up a Tweet Beep and when anyone on Twitter mentions your business or you can get tweeted.:

3. Topsy – www.topsy.com :

This is one of my favorite tools ever! :

I can do a search on myself and my business to see who is talking about me and sharing my content – but the best thing is it literally searches the ENTIRE Internet.:

I also love Topsy for a whole different reason than reputation management.:

It’s great for getting ideas on blog topics! Just do a search on Internet Marketing for example and you will find out what people are talking about! :

This is a great way to create content around relevant topics that are hot and happening!:

4. Take it Old School :

This is my favorite way to do a quick Internet check. Type in the name of your business, city and state into Google. Then just glance over the first 5 pages in the search.:

The Skippy on Local Marketing:

There’s absolutely no value in having your website featured on tons of obscure Internet directories so don’t pay anyone to do that for you.:

In fact tons of low-value links can even be considered spam by Google standards post Panda updates.:

The best thing to do is stay within a few high-value Internet directories and listings.:

Here is my preferred list::

Yelp, Foursquare, Yahoo Directory, Google Places for Business, and Bing Places for Business.:

Content Theft:

If your content is good you will have the threat of people stealing it. Lucky for me this has only happened to me once.:

Check out Copyscape www.copyscape.com they have a great tool for finding out if your content has been stolen.:

Website Check Up:

Just like you take good care of your car so it runs well – you need to take care of your website.:

If you have some really nasty errors on your site it can cause your page not to be indexed by search engines.:

To give your website a check up here’s one of my favorite tools – www.visible.net/tools.:

Just put in your website and see what it says – then you will want to just hand over that list to your developer.:

Searchers Point of View:

When was the last time you looked at your website from a searchers point of view?:

How does it look on your mobile? Did you know that most people surf the net from their handheld these days?:

When your ideal client comes to your website do they find what they need quickly?:

Does your website speak to their needs?:

Is your website growing your list?:

Measure Your Impact:

Type in what people would if they were looking for what you do and see if you come up. If you’re a local business include city.:

For example if you’re a plumber in Atlanta, Georgia the search would be plumber Atlanta Ga.:

If you’re a local business and you don’t come up on page one you may as well not even be on the Internet.:

The reason is people now have 8-second attention spans and will take the results they seek from page one.:

So if you’re not in the search, you’re leaving some money on the table.:

If you’re going to be successful in your Internet marketing efforts you MUST have a search strategy.:
