New Facebook Insights Dashboard

Posted on August 11, 2010 by Tamara Brooks

FB Insight Treasure ChestThe Facebook fan page is on its way to becoming a top new advertising platform. After all, Facebook is now officially the most popular U.S. website according to data from Hitwise analytics. Facebook has gone a long way in making its fan pages more flexible as far as design and content is concerned, allowing for custom tabs that look brand-spankingly out of this world. Avast, ye hearties, now they’ve updated Insights, a free service similar to web analytics that is available for everyone who has a fan page to track the progress of it.

How to Promote Your Social Media (Contests, “Like” Boosters, Link Trackers)

Posted on August 4, 2010 by Priscilla the Intern

Social Media Promo Candy StoreOh. Yes. We. DID.

We came up with a whole list of tips you can use to pump up your Facebook, Twitter and other social media pages like YouTube or Flickr. Implementing these ideas at the right time, right place and right market will help you get more fans and more interactions (perhaps you are marketing to women?). If this list were a candy store, it’d be called Engage – come on in, feast your eyes on the delectable treats to the right and pick & choose what suits your fancy. Samples provided (like BlogPerfume’s 27 free social media icons here)!

The mantra to remember as you ponder and peruse is quality over quantity. Especially for Facebook, avoid posting more than one quality post per day. Once you make a fan feel like they are getting “spam” from your page, they will “Unlike” your page and never come back. It is okay to post more than once per day for Twitter, but again, keep it to high quality tweets. Listening = cornerstone of using social media effectively. (more…)

Link Building Tips for New Websites

Posted on May 26, 2010 by Tamara Brooks

In today’s online and connected world, linking between sites on the net is fundamental (in fact, it’s what makes the world wide web a, well, web!).

This relationship is so crucial that it determines which sites we think are important and which are not. It’s kind of like how we choose who we interact and network with – simply being out there is not enough. For example, if you were looking to hire someone for your business, you wouldn’t just go out and choose random people on the street; you would ask for recommendations from people you knew first. Or if you do find a good candidate, you’d check up on references.

Our Last Workshop Before the Summer Break!

Posted on May 25, 2010 by Tamara Brooks

Our last workshop on “3 Free Things You Can Do Today to Improve Your Online Marketing” is coming up on May 31st! This is limited to 10 attendees only and we only have a couple spots remaining.

Want to turn more prospects into clients? Learn how to better track what is and isn’t working on your website…and how to improve it.

Want to invest your internet advertising budget wisely? Find out which of your current online advertising activities are proving most effective, and which activities are wasting your money.

Want more traffic to your website? Learn some free approaches you can use to help drive quality visitors to your site.

Want to get an intro to social media? Get your Facebook and Twitter 101’s.

Our little spin is that we will be requesting a $5 donation from all session attendees – 100% of the money will go to the Canary Derby in support of early cancer detection.

Handouts will be provided and topics will include overviews of Google Analytics, Google Local Business Center, and a little bit about Twitter and Facebook. We’ll talk about why they’re important, provide instructions on how to set them up, and some guidelines on how to use them effectively.

Looking forward to see you there! Don’t forget that RSVPs are a must! Deadline is May 27, 6:30pm!
