Squidoo Lens Building Service Now Offered By McRea Marketing Concept
November 5, 2010
In response to thousands of internet marketers trying to make online income happen in Squidoo, but fail due to marketing frustrations, a new service aims to sell SEO optimized Squidoo lens to anyone that are willing to get traffic quickly. This Squidoo Lens building service has been brought up by Bill McRea who is popularly known as the “SEO Ninja” representing McRea Marketing Concepts and Squidoo Queen.
Squidoo has become a popular online service and community website since it launched back in 2005 where anyone can create pages known as lenses to share content for marketing or non-marketing purposes. For online marketers, building several Squidoo lenses can raise the chances of earning money through its online income service and drive traffic to their website if their link is posted and the right content is supplied. It is the content where people usually fail, which results to lack of lens exposure despite Squidoo’s high Google PageRank of 8. Bill McRea comments, “Success with Squidoo isn’t easy. It’s not enough to post your lens and hope to get traffic. That particular lens needs a reputation.”
Bill McRea goes on explaining the necessary steps in bringing a Squidoo audience together which includes research, placing the content in the lenses and posting it. Some of the more tedious efforts include proper formatting of the page, buying of images, and building some quality links for Google exposure.
The Squidoo Lens building service entitled “We Build Your Squidoo Lens” aims to solve this problem by letting a certified Squidoo expert do all the work. This means that all of the content stays professional ensuring that visitors that browse the lenses will visit any links associated to the lenses. Generation of backlinks through SEO is among their primary services in building a lens that can attract greater amounts of traffic.
“We Build Your Squidoo Lens” also has a client care center that is there to assist people who are registered with the service by providing some tips on how to market their newly purchased lenses using their own efforts. Registered members will still have full control of their campaign while the Squidoo Lens building service provides the content.
The whole service is backed by the top skills of the certified Squidoo experts and knowledge of SEO Ninja who has earned a reputation in helping various online marketers in creating press releases and SEO websites using recommended software and strategies. Squidoo Queen, who has made several high ranking lenses illustrating useful tips to market both inside and out of Squidoo, also contributes to the experience.

Time for Brands to Change their Approach when Marketing to Mom, Says New Report by Razorfish and CafeMom
November 2, 2010
A new marketing report by Razorfish and CafeMom indicates that moms’ digital behaviors change remarkably when their children hit 12 years old and that mobile browsing and social media channels are increasingly affecting moms’ buying decisions.
Digital Mom consists of two companion studies. The first study, conducted by Razorfish–one of the largest digital marketing companies in the world–focuses on how digital moms are adopting emerging technologies. The second study, prepared by CafeMom–the largest social networking site for moms– concentrates on the role that social media play in helping to inform purchase decisions, among other key trends.
Survey findings will help marketers to better understand the different types of moms using mobile browsing, social media and emerging technologies and how to engage them most effectively depending on their age and the age of their children.
Part One: “Connecting with Digital Mom through Emerging Technologies”
Digital moms are not a niche market. According to Nielsen NetRatings, 32 million women in the U.S. have children ages 18 and under and go online; of those women, 84%, or 27 million, interact with emerging technologies.
For the purposes of this report, Razorfish surveyed 1,500 “digital moms”–defined as women with at least one child under 18 in the home who have engaged with two or more emerging technologies and who have researched, sought advice or purchased a product online in the last three months. Results confirm digital moms have moved beyond email and search, and are now active users of Web 2.0 technologies. The majority of moms are using social networks (65%) and text messaging (56%). More than half of these moms are also gamers, with 52% of them playing games online or via a console.
A particularly interesting trend is the rise of mobile browsing, said Terri Walter, vice president of emerging media at Razorfish and author of the Razorfish study. While only 10% of digital moms use mobile browsing, the women who do use it say it has more influence than other media channels as they get closer to a buying decision.
“This finding is significant,” Walter said. “It predicts the profound impact that mobile browsing and perhaps shopping applications will likely have on peoples’ buying decisions as more people adopt smartphones.”
Razorfish’s Key Findings for Marketers:
Moms with children 12 and older are motivated to adopt new technologies to stay in tune with their children. Of those who use social networks and blogs, almost half (47% and 40%, respectively) monitor their children. Likewise, digital moms of children 12 and older, versus moms with children under 12, are more likely to watch online video, (40% vs. 34%), game (57% vs. 51%), read online consumer reviews (38% vs. 30%), and watch or listen to podcasts (13% vs. 9%); This trend can be explained by different leisure time patterns among women with older children and a compelling interest in understanding their teenage children’s digital lives.
The gap is closing between TV and digital channels in terms of creating awareness and affecting product decisions, and social influence channels are increasingly important. Although TV still has the most impact on creating initial awareness for a product (31%), social influence channels such as online consumer reviews, blogs, social network sites and RSS are highly influential in the learning/researching stage (29%).
Moms’ interests are broad; some interests change by life stage, and some do not. More moms show interest in clothing/fashion and food than in parenting information, with the exception of moms with children under six.Part Two: Connecting with Digital Mom through Social Networks
CafeMom conducted a companion study of 1,740 active members of CafeMom, combined with CafeMom behavioral and usage data, to achieve a deeper understanding of how and why moms are using social media, and its impact on shopping behavior and purchase decisions.
The study found that moms are spending more time on social networks than ever before, turning to them for social, recreational and informational purposes. Once part of a social network, these moms are not just passive consumers, but active participants in activities such as blogging, photo-sharing, engaging in group discussions and building communities based on similar interests.
“With the rise of social networking, moms are becoming less dependent on traditional media and brand advertising to inform purchase decisions,” said Laura Fortner, SVP of marketing and insights at CafeMom and author of the CafeMom study. “Marketers can extend brand engagement by interacting with moms in their space and leveraging their influence within their social networks.”
CafeMom identified five distinct segments of socially connected moms. Highlights of the report’s observations and recommended marketing approaches for each segment include:
The Self Expressor typically has a preschooler at home and is eager to chat with other moms about parenting and shopping-related matters. She spends a lot of time building her personal profile page, so marketers should explore ways to be included on her virtual real estate and take advantage of viral pass-along.
The Utility Mom typically has the most children at home of all the segments, yet spends the most time online each week and enjoys relaxing with games and quizzes. To reach the Utility Mom, marketers should align with entertaining widgets and send brand messages through influential women in her circle.
The Groupster is a dynamic builder of online communities and seeks purchasing information and advice from her wide social circle, which includes moms she does not know offline. Marketers can reach her by associating with groups, blogs and other message centers and enlisting her as a brand advocate.
The Infoseeker usually has a young baby at home and is hungry for information on parenting and related products. Brands that can tie their messages into the information she is seeking, especially via the voice of other moms, will be the most successful at connecting with the Infoseeker.
The Hyperconnector, typically the mother of older children, is no longer aggressively seeking parenting information and advice, but rather uses social media as a way to chat with others and learn about new products. As an active social network member, she is comfortable expressing her opinions and would be an excellent candidate for brands to tap in social marketing campaigns.

Linkedin Marketing: The Secret Behind Social Networking Success

Linkedin Marketing: The Secret Behind Social Networking Success
LinkedIn is a professional, business and career oriented social networking site. It allows you to meet professional experts in a variety of industries across the globe.
There’s currently over 35 millions professionals on LinkedIn and these numbers are growing as we speak.
The LinkedIn community enables you to connect with like minded people which in returns allow you to grow your business contacts and network.
As a registered member, you get to create your own personal profile with information about you, your company, your products and services. You can also mention your professional accomplishments.
Once you’ve done this, you can begin to maintain a list of contacts which are known as connections and actively invite others to join your network and that whether they are existing LinkedIn users or not.
Now that you’re a little more familiar with the LinkedIn community, let’s go ahead and detail the numerous ways you can use LinkedIn to increase your business growth and get ahead of your competitors.
<b> #1. Growing & Managing Your Contact List </b>
Jeffrey Combs once said: “Your Networth Is Proportional To Your Network” and this statement is so true. In business, your contacts are everything. You don’t know need to know everyone, but make sure you know the people that know everyone!
That being said, the LinkedIn community is a great place to begin connecting with real professionals in order to begin growing your list of business contacts which could be done pretty easily.
Just like any social networking site, you should approach like minded people to initiate the first contact (make sure that you’re not spamming people with your ads) and regularly keep in touch with them so in the long run, they’ll know, like and trust you.
In addition to this, you can import almost any digital address book and web email contacts (Hotmail, Aol, Yahoo, etc…) from your LinkedIn account hence growing your list of contacts.
<b> #2. LinkedIn Answers </b>
This tool is by far one of the most important tools on LinkedIn. “LinkedIn Answers” allow anyone to ask questions about any topic and anyone can answer these questions.
The cool thing about this is that you can interact with lots of people that are not in your network…Hence, a great way to increase your connections.
So Here’s How It Works: When someone asks a question, everyone can give out answers or suggestions to that specific question.
A few days after the question has been posted and that you’ve received some answers, you’ll be asked to choose the right answers or the answers that helped you most.
And out of all these good answers, you’ll have to pick the “best” answer. Then the person that has been chosen for the “best” answer will be provided with an expertise point that will show up on his/her profile.
Answering questions is a great way to establish your expertise in a certain field. By answering more and more questions or inquiries from other LinkedIn users, you’ll be able to gain more expertise points which will allow you to become the expert people are looking for to do business with.
Remember that in business, people join you or buy your products or services because you’re an expert or a leader they know, like and trust.
With this little tool, you’ll be able to drive a great deal of traffic to your site…Increasing sales and sign-ups!
You can easily become THAT expert in a really short period of time (anyone can become an expert in anything with just a simple research…Please do not share this secret with anyone!), hence attracting potential leads and prospects to your marketing funnels.
Asking questions is also a good way to interact with other experts. Your questions will be read and answered by so many people and you can make use of their expertise to do joint ventures or share business ideas.
<b> #3. LinkedIn Services </b>
The “LinkedIn Services” tool is a complete directory of service providers that have been recommended by other users in your network.
Let’s say that you’re looking for a highly qualified graphic & web designer in your town or city and you really want to make sure they’re real experts. You can use the “LinkedIn Services” to see which graphic & web designers have been recommended by others.
This tool will help you save time researching for professionals you want to hire to get a certain job done.
That being said, I strongly suggest that you get your clients to recommend you as a professional so when people are searching for services or products you offer, then they’ll find you.
That alone is priceless since you’ll get tons of prospective clients at your fingertip without spending a penny on advertising.
<b> #4. Search LinkedIn </b>
The search tool simply allows you to find professionals that you know and even the ones you don’t know.
Then you can either try to get an introduction from someone in your network that knows that person or simply upgrade your LinkedIn account in order to be able to contact him/her directly.
<b> #5. LinkedIn Groups </b>
LinkedIn groups allow you to join any group that you want. You’ll then be able to meet great people and keep in touch with prospective business partners and clients.
Make sure that you’re a contributing member of each group you join. Post great content regularly, keep in touch with the other group members, etc…This will literally help you brand your name, your products, services and even business opportunities because people will begin to relate to you.
<b> #6. LinkedIn Jobs </b>
LinkedIn is also a great place to post jobs or recruit employees to your company. Thousands of companies are hiring and recruiting on LinkedIn so if you’re a business owner looking for prospective employees, there you go!
If you’re looking for employment, there are so many great companies on LinkedIn offering great career opportunities.
<b> #7. Search Engine Optimization Made Easy </b>
SEO marketing is one the toughest things out there in cyberspace and takes a lot of effort and learning to become an expert.
Since LinkedIn is highly ranked in all top search engines, your LinkedIn page will easily show up in the top 10 in search engine results for certain keywords. That’s literally free organic traffic your page without all the SEO marketing hassle.
Give it a try: simply type my name “Souleymane Maiga” on Google.com and on the 1st page, you’ll see my LinkedIn profile.
<b> #8. Conclusion </b>
In conclusion, I would like to say that LinkedIn is a great social networking site. If used properly, it could increase your visibility and brand name.
It also adds more credibility to your image and brand (“LinkedIn Answers” easily allow you to become a known expert in your field of expertise).
Keep in mind that LinkedIn should not be used a mass marketing outlet like Facebook or MySpace or even Twitter (you should only target what you’re looking forward to accomplish).
