Facebook and Social Media

Facebook and Social Media - The Next Marketing Opportunity

Marketing as an activity is all about reaching the right customers with the right products, and the result sought is delighted customers who are more than willing to open their purses wide enough to boost your revenues. For many years, marketers stalked their target customers through various means and by trying to get their message across to spread awareness about their wares.


Traditional Means of Communication

Traditionally, marketing communications were conducted via print, broadcast and such traditional media through disruptive advertising, where advertisements appear in between the content of interest for the customer.

Traditional media does give a large reach to a marketer with its programming of mass appeal. However, the wastage is equally high, since a large portion of the audience would belong to a different segment than the one that is to be targeted by the marketer.

Enter Social Media and the Internet

The revolution stirred by the internet as a medium took place because of the fact that it is highly personalized and provides more content on-demand than any other available medium. Social sites proliferated far and wide in their usage for a few simple reasons:

The power to create and distribute content is equally available to every user, irrespective of him/her being a customer or a marketer. In the earlier forms of media, that power rested with the editorial staff of the channel or the advertiser, but hardly ever with the user.
The medium is completely personalized, and a user can create or join groups and further create content based on what he/she likes.
Opinions are free and fair. This is one reason why social media is of utmost concern to marketers, since buying decisions are no more influenced as much by advertisements. The traditional word-of-mouth marketing approach has grown leaps and bounds on social networks.


Facebook – At the Center of Social Media

With 500 million (and growing) unique users worldwide, Facebook is the number one social networking site in terms of activity and subscriptions. What started as a garage initiative by Mark Zuckerberg has now become the biggest phenomenon on the internet.

A user interface that allows for quick communication and the ability to create fan pages and groups at the click of a mouse button are what make Facebook extremely popular. Another important reason for its immense popularity is the wide variety of social applications that have been developed and made available within the Facebook environment.

These applications can allow users and friends to do joint activities like playing games that run endlessly, sharing photos, videos, and web links, and many more.


How does this help a marketer?

Traditionally, media plans were drawn to include television channels, publications, or any other media that can grab maximum eyeballs and effectively reach a selected target audience. The science of segmentation and targeting has become only more accurate in the case of social media.

Facebook provides a wide variety of avenues to communicate with the audience, which opens up an entirely different world of possibilities to have a fruitful dialogue with customers. Some of these methods used popularly by marketers are:

Advertising: The first opportunity, which is the most obvious one, is advertising on Facebook. The difference, however, is the fact that you can create your own advertisement in a matter of minutes and also specify the details of your target group in terms of demographics and types of discussions where you want your advertisement to appear.
Fan Pages: Facebook allows every brand, as well as individual users, to create fan pages for their favorite celebrities and their own homegrown businesses. Large brands have also created their official pages on Facebook that have a huge, immediate fan following around the world. The fan page has immense utility to convey first hand information about the brand and also to collect immediate and frank feedback from your customers.
Branded applications: One of the most effective ways to engage a user toward your brand is by creating an application; this could be a game or a contest, with your branding coming across subtly through it.

What makes Facebook even more exciting is the way it allows you to target your communication sharply just to the customer segment you want to attract. It also provides analytics and page insights that give good feedback and measurement on the activity done.

The options provided by Facebook can be creatively explored and used judiciously for bringing about maximum benefits to any brand.

Image ads join link units-Adsense

If you use link units, you may have noticed a small addition to the page users see after clicking a link unit topic. We recently added an image ad to the bottom of each of these pages, after our testing showed revenue improvements for many publishers.

These image ads are contextually targeted, based on the link unit topic users clicked to reach the ads. If no image ads are available for the given topic, we'll only show the original text ads -- in other words, we won't show a PSA or insert a blank space in place of the image ad in this case. Advertisers can bid on these image ads on a cost-per-click (CPC) and cost-per-impression (CPM) basis, so you'll generate earnings for valid clicks and impressions. You can review the performance of image ads on your link unit pages by generating a link unit report on your Advanced Reports page.

If you aren't using link units on your pages, we encourage you to give them a try. They don't take up much space and can help add to your AdSense revenue -- learn more in our Help Center, or visit your AdSense Setup tab and select 'AdSense for content' to get started.

Adsense Program Policies Page

A+P+P+P
If you've checked the AdSense program policies page today, you've probably noticed that we've just made a few small updates. We'd like to take a moment to clarify what's been changed.

The first thing you might notice when you visit the program policies page is that we've revamped the look. Based on your feedback, we've reorganized the content and updated the layout to make it easier to read and navigate. We've highlighted some key information for each policy, and added expandable 'Learn more' sections that you can click for more detailed information. Also, we've grouped together policies that are specific to only AdSense for content or AdSense for search.

Google brand violations: This policy has always existed in our Terms and Conditions, but we've now brought it directly to the 'Ad Placement' section of the program policies page so that it's easier to find. According to this policy, we don't allow ads or search boxes to be placed on pages which misuse Google logos, trademarks, or other brand features in the page content or URL, and which could mislead users into thinking the page is associated with Google.>


Deceptive implementations: We've clarified this policy a bit in the 'Encouraging Clicks' section of the program policies - ads may not be formatted in a way that makes them indistinguishable from other content on the page where they appear.>

Ad placement in emails and email programs: This updated policy clarifies that Google ads , search boxes, and search results may not be placed in emails, as well as alongside emails.>

Other Google products' policies: With this new policy, publishers aren't permitted to place ads, search boxes, or search results on, within, or alongside other Google products in a way that violates the policies of that other product or service. For instance, this would include placing ads on sites which allow users to download YouTube videos, which isn't permitted by the YouTube Terms of Service.

A clarification on ad serving

Today I got mail from google group about( A clarification on ad serving).This change in the URL where the ads are served from is due to the DoubleClick ad serving cookie that we launched on the Google content network last year. Since this cookie is on the doubleclick.net domain, we've had to update our URLs to point to doubleclick.net, as well as to give you the associated benefits such as frequency capping and improved attribution.

However, this is only an infrastructure change -- there haven't been any changes to the ads themselves. The ads you see are still coming from AdWords advertisers or third-party advertisers, just as they were before, and it's not the case that you're now receiving 'DoubleClick ads' instead of 'Google ads'.

Along the same lines, we'd like to reassure you that this new URL hasn't changed the targeting of ads on sites. As a quick refresher, each ad that appears on your pages can be contextually targeted, placement-targeted, or soon, interest-based. With contextual targeting, ads are matched to your content based on keywords selected by advertisers, while with placement targeting, advertisers select specific ad placements where they'd like their ads to appear. And with our latest addition of interest-based advertising, advertisers will be able to reach users based on their interests or previous interactions with an advertiser's site.


All types of ads to compete for the ad space on your site, you'll increase the competition for your ad space to help ensure that you're maximizing your earnings potential. However, you can also continue to prevent specific ads from appearing by using your Competitive Ad Filter and the Ad Review Center.

Get Goghing on with AdSense for search

Few months ago, a number of AdSense for search optimization tips with you. Here's the story of one AdSense publisher who recently tried some of these techniques and saw substantial results after making a few small changes.

VanGoghGallery.com is an art resource site that provides information about the life and work of Vincent van Gogh. Site owner Greg Alexander runs the Van Gogh Gallery to educate and share information about the artist, and has also used the site to explore new Internet marketing techniques. Greg joined AdSense in 2007, and although he didn't know much about the program at first, he found it "a great opportunity to generate some revenue without spending the effort to sell ads." He also tried other ad providers, "but none of them yielded the results that AdSense did. In addition, AdSense was the only one that provided relevant ads for our visitors."

To help users navigate through the many pages of the Van Gogh Gallery, Greg added an AdSense for search box to the right column of his pages. By enabling SiteSearch and displaying search results on his own pages, he was able to help users find what they were looking for while staying on his site.

As an optimization experiment, Greg recently moved his search box to the center column of his pages and extended it to twice its original width.

In addition, Greg made slight changes to the search results pages -- he removed the borders from the ads and search results, and added a new search box to the search results pages. According to Greg, "altogether, these changes took less than 15 minutes to do."After making these updates, Greg noticed a dramatic and immediate increase in the usage of search on the Van Gogh Gallery. He found that "the number of queries performed each day increased 8 to 10 times, and search ad clicks and revenues increased even more." His search earnings quickly grew from less than a dollar a day to double digits since his optimization test. "Now we frequently receive more search ad clicks than our total number of searches pre-optimization," says Greg. "I'm still amazed at how simple changes can have such an incredible impact."

Greg has started using the earnings from his AdSearch optimization efforts to build and host additional websites about other artists. "Ultimately," Greg says,"we hope to use the earnings to fund research trips to Europe to see the works of the masters and expand the quality of information we offer visitors to our sites."

Adsense launched a brand new English Help Forum to make it easier for publishers to ask questions and share advice. Now, we're happy to announce that this Help Forum platform is available for publishers in seven additional languages: French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian. To start posting on these forums, sign in with your Google Account.


If you're using the new platform for the first time, some of the new features you'll notice include the ability to vote on a best response to each question, receive answers to your posted questions by email, and subscribe via RSS feed. We've also introduced more community-building aspects to the forum, such as a customizable profile page and a rating system that rewards you for your contributions. Finally, we've integrated a CSE search box on each page, which will allow you to find answers to your questions across the Forum, Help Center, and the blog.

Our Help Forums are also available on Google Groups in Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Dutch, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Slovak, and Turkish -- we'll be sure to let you know when we're able to migrate these languages to our new platform.

Payments by Western Union now available in Indonesia-Adsense

If you're located in Indonesia, you can now sign up to receive your AdSense payments in cash using the worldwide Western Union money transfer service. This payment method is quick, easy, and free -- that means no more waiting for checks to arrive in the mail or to clear at the bank.

A few things to keep in mind that:
Payments follow our normal payment schedule and will be available for pickup at your local Western Union agent the day after they are issued.

You'll need to present a government-issued ID that matches your AdSense payee name when picking up your payment. If you need to update or correct the payee name listed in your account, please follow the instructions listed in our Help Center.

Payments must be picked up within 35 days of issue or they'll expire. If this happens, a payment hold will be placed on your AdSense account and the payment will be credited back to your account.

Payments will be made in US dollars, but depending on your local Western Union agent, they may be picked up in your local currency.

Follow these instructions if you're interested in signing up for payments by Western Union. You can also find useful information in our Help Center about exchange rates and other countries where this payment method is available. We hope you enjoy using this new payment option in Indonesia!

Add on to AdSense

Do you regularly work with your webpages and AdSense implementation, tinkering with HTML or PHP and creating images and code on the fly? If you do, Firefox add-ons can help streamline the process of creating webpages. Here are some in particular that you may find useful:

ColorZillaThis extension tells you which RGB or hex color you're looking at, to help you make sure you created that logo for your business with just the right shade of blue, for instance. The tool also creates custom color palettes while you're browsing, so you can use them in your designs.

MeasureItLike the name says, use this add-on to measure the width and height in pixels of any element you see on a webpage. It's very simple to use, and you can define how much space you have left for that AdSense ad unit on the right-side. :)


IE ViewDo you frequently use Internet Explorer to check how your website renders on that browser? This add-on allows you to view the way any page would look if it were opened in IE, without the hassle of opening another browser. You can also see pages that aren't Firefox-friendly much more easily.


WebDeveloper toolbar This all-in-one toolbar gives you quick control over things like JavaScript display, form and CSS elements, screen resizing (so you know what your website looks like in smaller resolutions), HTML validation, and much more.

Hopefully, we'll soon have a similar set of add-ons for Chrome, and we'll be sure to share them with our readers.

Update on US tax forms for 2008

This is a friendly reminder that we're currently preparing and mailing tax forms to eligible U.S. publishers and will be sending them out by the end of January. Please keep in mind that not all U.S. AdSense publishers will receive a tax form from Google.How do you know whether to expect a tax form? We'll send you one if:

You submitted a Form W-9, are not a corporation, and were paid at least US $600 in 2008, OR
You indicated that you are subject to backup withholding and had taxes withheld-

If you qualify for a tax form, you can expect it to arrive at the address listed in your account by early February. We recommend checking your account to ensure that your mailing address is up-to-date; you can make any necessary updates by following the instructions in our Help Center. Please note that payments dated in 2008 will be reported in 2008. This means that unpaid earnings from 2008 that are rolled over to 2009 (for example, December 2008 earnings paid in January 2009) will not be included.

If you won't be receiving a tax form, but you still have questions on how to report the payments you received from AdSense, please consult your local tax advisor.

Western Union payment updates

Do you use Western Union as your payment method? If so, we've just made a couple minor updates that we'd like to let you know about.

Expiration date extendedWe've now extended the deadline to pick up your Western Union payments from 35 days to 60 days. If you haven't picked up your payment within 60 days of issuance, the payment will be credited back to your account and a payment hold will be placed on your account. You'll then see a notice in your account with more details on how to proceed.


Split paymentsAs you may know, Western Union has specific payout limits depending on location. In the past, if your payment amount exceeded the Western Union payout limit in your country, we'd send your payment by secured express delivery check instead. Unfortunately, this would also incur a delivery fee, so we're happy to let you know that this is now no longer the case.


Now, if your payment exceeds the maximum payment amount, we'll divide up the amounts but still send them via Western Union. For instance, if the payout limit in your country is $3,000 USD and your payment for the month is $5,000 USD, we'll send you two payments: one for the limit of $3,000 USD and another for the remainder of $2,000 USD. If you're sent multiple Western Union payments, you'll see multiple 'Payment issued' lines on your Payment history page, each with the corresponding MTCN associated with it. Depending on your local Western Union agent, you may need to pick up multiple payments on subsequent days. We recommend consulting your local Western Union agent for further details.


Payment by Western Union is currently available in a limited number of countries, but we're working on expanding the countries we support, and we'll keep you posted with any updates.

Extending AdSense for domains to all publishers

Many publishers have approached us looking for a way to monetize their domains, and today, we're excited to announce the expansion of AdSense for domains. This product allows publishers to earn revenue through ads placed on undeveloped domains.


With AdSense for domains, users can find relevant information rather than see empty pages or "page not found" errors. Today we present ads, links, and search results on the pages, and may add other useful information in the future. To ensure positive user experience and the quality of our network, these sites are monitored for policy compliance and prohibited from using text and images designed to confuse users.


Advertisers also have additional opportunities to find their customers, and ads on these pages convert well. In addition, we regularly receive requests from advertisers who have found domains to be an effective way to reach their users.



The product will be initially rolled out in phases to English-language AdSense publishers located in North America, and we'll expand to additional regions and languages in the future. To check whether AdSense for domains has been enabled for your account, log in and visit your AdSense Setup tab. For more information, please visit our Help Center.

How advertising will affect your Christmas purchases!

if you have to buy anything for a child this Christmas, you'll likely find that advertising has a great deal to do with what that child might want to find under the tree. If a child sees an advertisement enough, he or she is going to start wanting what's advertised!


if his or her friends have one or if there is some reason why that child believes having that object will bring friends his or her way. Smaller children are more interested in brightly-colored toys and things that make noise or have movement. Older children are more interested in electronic games and other things that they can do with their friends!

It's largely become a matter of opinion and speculation, but most people do believe that advertising does have an effect on children and that they do pay a lot of attention to what they see on the TV. It can change their moral and social norms, and that's something that can lead to serious problems. For holiday purchases, though, it's likely not a huge issue!
Mostly, it will affect the wallets of the people who need to buy things for children this year by giving those children more to ask for and want as the season grows closer. This is the way that it usually is during Christmas, but with the struggling economy there will likely be a lot more advertising this year, in an effort to make more money!

what is link post job-25$

What is a LinkPost Job?
A LinkPost Job is a mass-invitation to Partners to write paid blog posts about your product or service. As an Advertiser, you determine a budget and set of minimum requirements that a partner's blog must meet in order for them to participate. (The minimum requirements will limit the number of blogs qualified to write your LinkPosts.) Once you've created a Job, Partners can view and accept your Job (if eligible) through the Control Center until all of your Jobs have been accepted.



What are the prerequisites to create a LinkPost Job?
The only thing you need is an existing LinkPost Outline to create a LinkPost Job.


What are the minimum conditions I need to specify?

Price per LinkPost (price you will pay per LinkPost written).
» Number of LinkPosts (the number of LinkPosts you want to buy).
(The previous two values will determine the budget for the specific LinkPost Job you're creating.)
» Minimum LinkRank
» Alexa Ranking Range
» Minimum Active LinkPosts
» Maximum Outbound Links
» Monthly Posting Activity.
» Blog Candidates. (if you want bloggers to be automatically approved when they meet your job criteria or if you want to review/approve them beforehand)
» Approval Process. (if you want to review/approve LinkPosts or have LinkWorth review/approve them for you)



What's the difference between a LinkPost and a LinkPost Job?
A LinkPost allows an advertiser to handpick the partner sites where the blog post will be published. An outline is created, then sent to a list of partner websites desired. The cost is determined by the Partner who sets their own pricing. From a Partner's perspective, you would list your blog and let the requests come to you.

A LinkPost Job allows an advertiser to post an outline as a "Work For Hire", based on minimum requirements and a price they're willing to pay. Once the 'Job' is posted, Partners will have the chance to accept the work rather than waiting for requests to come to them. This method gives all qualifying bloggers the opportunity to earn.

promote your blogs

A blog provides the ever-changing type of web content that search engine spiders die for, and if your website is new, then you will have no need to submit to any search engine for inclusion in its indices.

Spiders seek out blogs like they hunt flies, and when they find yours it will be reported back to headquarters immediately and your website will be scanned and immediately listed.

If you don’t continually change the content on your website, then it will quickly drop down the Google listings GOOGLE PAGE RANK, and also those on the other search engines. However, it’s not just the website: it’s every individual webpage on your site that has to continually change, because the search engines list each page individually, not whole domains. Search engines just love change, because they exist to provide a good continuous information service to their users, and if the content of the web pages in their indices remained the same all the time, they would fail in that objective.


You can use a blog to interact with visitors to your site, and I fact you can use it virtually as a forum. You can use it to advertise your new products, disseminate information and gain information. A blog is a means of communication, and if you can create a blog then you have the ability to cerate traffic right there at your fingertips. You can update information and pass it your customers and friends faster than with an email.


The best way is to have it on your website, rather than on the provider’s site, because then you can use a lot more customized plug-ins. Most cPanel websites can easily interface with Wordpress without much trouble.

Online Classified Ads

The advent of the Internet brought with it the invention of online classified ads. Believed to be the height of advertising and marketing, but the kiss of death for newspapers and other advertising venues. It turned out both beliefs were untrue and basically over hyped. Over time, it was learned that online classified ads used in conjunction with other forms of already established media actually made each other stronger. Then the use of online classified ads blossomed again and took on a whole new avenue for the internet marketer. Many not only added classified ads to their pages, entire sites popped up specifically for displaying online classified ads.

At first, people loved being able to not only advertise their goods and wares but they enjoyed just browsing and surfing other ads. It was a virtual flea market of goodies; city to city, coast to coast, and even country to country. Free online advertising made it possible to sell anything anywhere and with little or no risk. Besides being able to advertise a vast amount of merchandise coast to coast and the ability to find specialty items anywhere in the world, online classified ads also allowed a new venue of marketing for the masses. Those who sold products could use online ads to marketing their products without having to have a website.

The internet opened up a world of marketing for those in the start-up stage of business who could not or did not want to finance a website at the time. Online classified ads could be placed on any number of reliable sites, in the marketer's own city or abroad. Placing ads abroad meant a business could widen its customer base at little or no cost to the business, leaving cash flow to put towards other parts of the venture. Ads could be as long or as short as necessary and could be placed in many different areas as many times as needed. As the majority of online sites offered this service for free, it became an indispensable form of advertising and marketing; akin to having a 24 hour coast to coast store front.

At first, many newspapers merely offered simple advertising options; but by following the trend of sites dedicated to online classified ads, newspapers realized being allowed to add banners or pictures only further increased the value of online advertising. Newspapers found they had better advertising success when sections such as real estate and car sales were allowed to add pictures. Customers too found adding a picture instead of having just a mere description attracted more viewers to their ads. More viewers meant more offers, which meant getting that house or car sold faster. Suddenly, spending for online advertising began to be a larger part of newspaper budgets every where.

Many sites that offer online classified ads have also seen the benefit of adding other options such as chat and forums for their customers. A number of people who may go online looking for a certain item are more than likely to click on a few ads that catch their interest. They may also be willing to stick around and pop in for a discussion and see what the general public has to say about things. It has been found that sites that offer online classified ads have the opportunity and ability to become community centers and venues for communication. A person can go in looking to find a bargain basement on wicker furniture or a vitamin health regimen and come out with a whole lot more.

The Benefits of Buying on EBay*

EBay is a modern phenomenon that involves millions of people every day. People are joining at rate of thousands and even more amazing some seventy thousands people make great living from selling and buying goods. Join the trend at my home site


http://www.mywebcashstore.com/blagonic5721


EBay is the most popular auction site on the internet. It is also the largest of all auction sites. It is turning over around three million dollars a day, yet there are still people who are careful to buy on EBay.

It is good to be careful. However, let us look at the advantages:

The person who is selling stuff on EBay has often started his/her own business. They get products from wholesalers. Unlike the store where you usually buy things you want or need, this person does not have the same overheads, like rent, phone and electricity bills and employees wages. He can therefore afford to give you the product at the kind of discount you cannot get from the store. I personally have sold a product to someone, still giving myself a 100% profit. The buyer couldn’t believe the price he was paying for a brand new product. He thought it was a steal. I got my 100% profit; he got an excellent price he wouldn’t pay anywhere else, a win-win situation!

Most people who sell on EBay can only sell if they have a good feedback rating. So it is good to look at the seller’s ratings before you buy. You can see from comments others have made what the person is like and whether you can trust him or not. If the seller has even one negative feedback rating, don’t buy from him. This will add to your peace of mind.

Most sellers also have return policies. Read everything on the listing’s website before you buy. Use the “Question” feature to ask questions if you are not sure. You can also tell from the way the seller answers what kind of a person he is.

Then there is Pay pal … a convenient way to pay. No need to give your credit card number to strangers. This alone should make it much easier for you to buy on EBay than anywhere else on the internet. And much safer. Sure, you will still get that jerk, but you have a chance to spot him before you buy from him.

Another advantage of buying on Ebay is that you have such a great variety of products. What is more, you don’t even have to leave your house …. That is the best! You can miss the commuting to the stores and the queues at the checkout. The heat (or the freezing cold) or the kids squabbling, and wanting things you don’t feel like spending money on.

As for selling on Ebay … won’t it be great to work from home and sell products that you find wholesale and that others ship for you? You can build up a full time income and even automate most of your sales.
