JoelComm.com - October 29, 2009 The NEW Joel Comm Show is Coming!

Home > Newsletter The NEW Joel Comm Show is Coming! 2009-10-29 19:29:52-04 Joel Comm LIVE has been absent from the Internet since the spring. For over one year, Dan Nickerson and I welcomed guests to our program in a live format. We interacted with viewers, answered questions about Internet marketing, played with flying monkeys, read a number of humourous Top Ten lists and had a generally fun time. However, with my travel schedule being so heavy, I was unable to do the live program each week. And so, we took a break in order to figure out our next move. Read more...

High Rankings Advisor: Are You Writing TO Your Customers? - Issue No. 268

High Rankings Advisor 268 - Your Host: Jill Whalen
In Today's Issue Guest Article ---> Writing TO Your Customers—Not AT Them High Rankings Happenings ---> SEO Consulting Prices Slashed! ---> High Rankings SEO Site Review Twitter Question of the Week ---> Will you care if Google turns off toolbar PR? Stuff You Might Like ---> 20% Discount on Karon's Books! Advanced SEO Forum Thread of the Week ---> SEO Best Principles for Local Service Advisor Wrap-up ---> Look for 2010 SEO Classes Soon   Introduction Hey everyone! While analyzing a client's website recently, I noticed that most of their content was very company focused, rather than customer focused — that is, they were mostly talking about their company rather than what was in it for their customers. So I asked our copywriting guru, Karon Thackston, if she had any articles that addressed how to make changes accordingly, since she talks about this all the time in her in-person training sessions. To my surprise, she didn't already have an article on this topic. Well...now she does! See today's guest article for more. Enjoy! – Jill   Guest Article ++Writing TO Your Customers—Not AT Them++ By Karon Thackston © 2009, All Rights Reserved Sometimes choosing which company to buy from is about like deciding which brand of canned peas is the best. To make matters worse, the copy on most websites doesn't offer any help. There are three major offenders in copywriting that I see constantly on the Internet. The first is generic copy that offers no specific differentiation points — in other words, reasons why the visitor should choose you instead of the thousands of other sites that are just a click away. The second is overused fluff copy that has no substance. And the third? Using company-focused copy ("we" and "us") instead of customer-focused ("you" and "your"). It's the third offender I want to address in this article. I am literally shocked that — after decades of marketing evangelists preaching "It's not about you!" — website owners still don't get it. What's not to understand? Copy that focuses strictly on your company and practically or completely ignores your prospects doesn't work nearly as well as copy that speaks to your target customers in their language and about the benefits they will receive. I discussed this very topic with SEO friend Jill Whalen recently, and she commented, "I think people don't understand how to write to the customer instead of about their company." Perhaps my cohort is right. So, in an effort to educate, let's look at several before and after scenarios. Company-Focused Copy Examples It's as if this web design firm has intentionally made an effort to ignore their site visitors. They use their company name, "the client," "customers," and practically every other word to describe who is reading the page. Except, that is, the most important: you. You must address the one, single person who is reading your web page at any given moment, not a collective population of people. "ABC Web Design is dedicated to customer service. We make great strides to offer high levels of customer service and communication with clients. As a small company, we understand one-on-one service is needed. Our designers have developed hundreds of small-business websites and we make the process simple. Contact us for pricing and a free consultation today." Do you see that not a single "you" is used? The site visitor is never addressed. It's all about the company. Now let's change it to be about the customer: "ABC Web Design is dedicated to your success, promising high levels of customer service and communication. You'll be kept up to date — on a one-to-one basis — about the progress of your project. Relying on years of experience, your web designer makes the creation process simple, guiding you through every step. Contact us for pricing and a free consultation today." Here's another example: "We have the finest contractors in the marketplace today. Our kitchen experts have been recruited from the most successful companies. XYZ Kitchen Remodeling Company of Kalamazoo has the support of a large network that has over 300 reliable and professional kitchen remodeling contractors serving most of North America." Here's the rewrite: "When you want to work with the finest contractors in the marketplace, XYZ Kitchen Remodeling Company of Kalamazoo answers the call. Not only will you benefit from using experienced kitchen experts, your renovation is backed by the support of the largest network of kitchen remodelers. That gives you the knowledge and skills of over 300 reliable, professional kitchen remodeling contractors in North America." See the difference? Is it a sin to use the words "us" or "our"? Certainly not, but your copy should be weighted far more heavily with customer-oriented words than company-focused ones. Tell visitors about your service, your results and your experience. But do so in a way that makes them and their success the center of the copy. When you keep the focus on your company, you prevent your target customer from knowing the benefits they'll reap after working with you. However, when you adjust your focus, you shine a bright light helping visitors to quickly see why you're the best choice for them. Karon Thackston Marketing Words [Jill's comment: You might also be interested in FutureNow's "We We Calculator," which measures your copy for customer focus vs. company focus.] Share your comments and thoughts here.   Twitter Question of the Week ++Will you care if Google turns off toolbar PR?++ This week's Twitter question was: "If/when Google turns off Toolbar PR, will you care? Why/why not?" joehall "No I won't because it's a pointless metric." Matt_Siltala "I don't care now, so I won't care then!" yankeerudy "Losing the Google Toolbar PR will make one less thing I have to waste time explaining to clients. Won't be sad at all." chiropractic "I won't care, stopped relying on it, have seen enough sites with decreased PR increase in rankings and traffic." JulieJoyce "I'll only care because my clients will fuss. I don't think it's useful. They do, despite our efforts." DavidWallace "I uninstalled Google toolbar some time ago but either way, I'll be glad to see it go. So many other metrics to use." FPMarcil "I won't care for SEO, but I do care for transparency reasons. Google should be more transparent, not less." portentint "I will thank the gods & all that is good in the world." AlanBleiweiss "I already don't care. 1. It's never been current. 2. PR is the wrong thing to focus on." netmeg "No, won't care, haven't looked at it in months if not years. PR not on my radar for a long time." SebastianX "Since a while now I enjoy surfing with Chrome that totally lacks green pixel entertainment. I certainly don't miss visible TBPR." brettpringle "Can't wait for Google to turn off TBPR, good riddance :)" davematson "Not a big deal, but will miss the small comfort in seeing even a PR1 on my sites." trevox "No I won't care. It's no substitute for proper analysis. Toolbars too easily cluttered with add-ons anyway. Dislike 'em." Interestingly enough, and unlike most of my colleagues who tweeted, I will actually miss the little green bar if and when it goes. Surprised? My reason is that, while it's not a good indication of actual PageRank, it can sometimes point out site architecture problems on websites. You do have to take it with a grain of salt, but it's a starting point of something to look at when a particular page of a site isn't getting indexed at all.

JoelComm.com - October 28, 2009 TweetGlide

Home > Newsletter TweetGlide 2009-10-28 10:36:38-04 Hardly a day goes by that I don't hear about a new Twitter app, web tool or other utility created to make the use of Twitter easier or more interesting. It's pretty hard to keep up with them. And it's pretty rare that I endorse a tool or app. Just as I wait to see new sites pick up steam before jumping on board, I usually don't start using new tools until they demonstrate widespread adoption. I am straying from my usual modus operandi because what I'm going to share with you intersects with using Twitter as a marketing tool, and for generating money with it. Read more...

You know, it's sad, but many people can't answer this question. I've accomplished a lot in my forty-five years, But we never stop growing. Growth means change.

High Rankings Advisor: Will You Make a Good SEO Client? (Part 1) - Issue No. 267

High Rankings Advisor 267 - Your Host: Jill Whalen
In Today's Issue Search Engine Marketing ---> Will You Make a Good SEO Client? (Part 1) High Rankings Happenings ---> SEO Consulting Prices Slashed! ---> High Rankings SEO Site Review Twitter Question of the Week ---> Do you think SEO is undervalued...? Stuff You Might Like ---> What's Good for Users Is Good for Search Engines Advanced SEO Forum Thread of the Week ---> Ding Dong the Keyword Tag Is Dead (Or Is It?) Advisor Wrap-up ---> Mama Needs a New Pair of Shoes   Introduction Hey everyone! Whether you provide SEO services or are a potential client for them, you'll relate to today's article. Enjoy! – Jill   Search Engine Marketing Issues ++Will You Make a Good SEO Client? (Part 1)++ It's a tough economy out there. There's more SEO competition than ever and fewer potential new clients to go around. Like most SEO service companies, we don't want to snub our noses at possible new work; however, not all clients are created equal. Good ones make our job interesting and fun, while bad ones can cause nightmares. Today's article outlines 13 red flags that tip you off to the fact that you're probably not going to be a good fit for our SEO services. In the next newsletter, Part 2 will outline the type of people who are indeed a good fit, and why. Here are 13 reasons why you're probably not a good fit for our SEO services: 1. You visit our website, head straight for the phone number and call us, but never read anything about our services or how we work. While we can certainly spend our time explaining everything we do and the various types of services we offer, it's very clearly spelled out on our website. We even have pricing for most of our SEO consulting services there on the website. We understand if you have specific questions about the info or want to know which service might be the best fit for your company, but please do us the courtesy of familiarizing yourself with our offerings. That's what websites are for! Even better, make some notes and have some specific questions ready for us when you call. 2. When you call, you decide you don't need to talk to anyone in sales/marketing and instead go straight to the CEO. This tells us that you think you're too important to go through the proper channels and that you don't respect the chain of command we have set up. At High Rankings, while I'm the CEO, I am also the chief SEO-er. I spend most of my time plotting out SEO strategies for our clients, which is why we have someone else dedicated to discussing our service offerings. If and when you become our client, wouldn't you rather have me working on bringing more sales to YOUR company rather than to OUR company? 3. You just learned what SEO was yesterday. While we have no problem educating you about SEO, and in fact enjoy doing that immensely, you can't even begin to purchase SEO consulting services without having a clear understanding of what it is you're purchasing. Please do some homework first to learn what SEO is and how it can benefit your company before asking us what we can do for you. 4. Your only goal is to go from #5 in Google for one specific keyword phrase to #1. While that's a lofty goal and we might even be able to help you achieve it, our SEO services are designed to provide you with lots more targeted traffic and conversions. We will rarely just focus on one phrase, but on hundreds, and we don't typically look at rankings. 5. You've been burned by a previous SEO company so you assume we're scammers. No doubt about it, there are zillions of rotten SEO companies out there, just as there are businesses who've been scammed by them. If you were burned by one of them, we're sorry, but that doesn't give you the right to call us up and treat us like we're the company who previously burned you. We're not. 6. You refuse to tell us the URL of the website that you'd like help with. There are websites that we won't work with for a variety of reasons. Because we customize our SEO services to each website, we can't even begin to give you a quote for services without seeing what we'd be optimizing. How else can we determine if we can help? 7. You ask for a comprehensive proposal, yet won't provide us with the logins or info we need in order to put one together. This is especially true if you want a review of your AdWords campaigns because these can vary from a small campaign to a huge one, and the amount of time it would take to review them is substantially different. We're happy to sign NDAs in order to gain access, but we do need to take a peek. If you want us to help you, you'll need to provide us with the necessary logins. 8. You are just fishing for free SEO info and don't plan to hire any company. Let's just say that if you are one of those who do this, you should be ashamed of yourself. We are a small company and don't have time to provide you with detailed proposals if you are just gathering as much info as you can so you'll have a better understanding of how to do your SEO in-house. Surely your mother brought you up better than that? 9. You think SEO is about meta keywords and therefore don't understand why it should cost more than a few bucks. SEO isn't cheap. Do your research up front on what most companies are charging for their services before you waste your time and ours if it's just not in your budget. While pricing can vary substantially between companies, you often do get what you pay for. 10. You don't respond to emails or phone calls. Why request information from us and then never email or call back when we try to provide it to you? If, after you hear what we do, you're no longer interested, please tell us. Even better, let us know why because we might be able to adjust the scope of work to better fit your needs. 11. You refuse to spend time to carefully and thoughtfully answer our questionnaire that helps us understand what your business is about. SEO is a two-way street that can't be done without your help and information. If you are looking for a company that you can just hand off your SEO to and never have to discuss it again, you're most definitely not a good fit for us. You know your business better than we do, and we will need this knowledge as we move forward with your SEO program. 12. You don't value our expertise and reputation as a trustworthy company. If being prominent in the SEO space for over 14 years, speaking as an industry thought leader, providing a well-respected and free SEO newsletter for 9 years, offering an advanced SEO forum for 6 years, and having hundreds of satisfied clients in nearly every industry imaginable doesn't impress you, that's okay – but that level of expertise in SEO is highly valuable. The many sites we've worked with and the numerous challenges we've faced have taught us exactly how to plot out SEO strategies for our next client – YOU. 13. You're just rude jerk. We only want to work with people we like. If you act like a rude jerk the first time we talk to you, we're definitely not interested in working with you no matter how much money you might pay us. 'Nuff said. Jill Share your comments and thoughts here. P.S. If anyone would like to republish the above article, please email me your request and where it will reside, and I'll send you a short bio you can use with it for your site.   Twitter Question of the Week ++Do you think SEO is undervalued...?++ In keeping with today's theme of being a good (or bad) SEO client, I asked my friendly and helpful Tweeps the following question this week: "Do you think SEO is undervalued by most companies? Why or why not?" Here's what they had to say (with my own comments scattered throughout): JulieJoyce: "If they know what it is, no. If they don't know what it is, definitely." Jill: Yes, that is a big problem. Unfortunately, many do not know what it is. Andy_SEO: "I don't think it's undervalued as such – more not given a realistic amount of time to gain beneficial results." Jill: I disagree with Andy_SEO. Good SEO can have a positive effect on a website's targeted traffic and conversions very quickly. If he meant that it can take some time to implement, then I do agree with that. SEOaudiore: "It's undervalued b/c it's rather challenging to gauge ROI & really identify what SEO efforts contributed to conversions." Jill: I disagree with SEOaudiore also. The great thing about SEO is that it is highly measurable, assuming you have a good web analytics package installed and you know how to use it. seoDave: "From my perspective SEO is very much an undervalued and underutilized service by many companies." AVirtualEdge: "Because they don't fully understand or appreciate the return on their investment, and underestimate the skill and knowledge needed." Jill: Agreed. The underestimation of the skills and knowledge required is a big problem. While it's not rocket science, every website you work on provides new challenges. The more you have under your belt, the easier it will be to solve future problems. StockbridgeT: "It's easier to ignore than to understand for many people. We focus on what we know and shy away from what we don't." visualrhetor: "SEO is undervalued: confusing to some, seen as a scam by others, or optional 'add-on' rather than integral piece of dev." Jill: Both of the above underscore the fact that there's so much misinformation about SEO out there. I try to combat it by pointing out the inconsistencies and myths as much as I can. macgenie: "SEO is not seen as integral to a website. It's looked at as an add-on or enhancement, rather than fundamental." SportsGuy: "Yes, most companies undervalue SEO. They simply don't understand it and are floored by the amount of work to do it right." leebrinckley: "Yes...companies don't take it seriously or see it as waste of time b/c they don't understand behind-the-scenes & time involved." Jill: One of these days I'm really going to buy that High Rankings magic wand that many clients ask for! prarthanasharma: "Yes it is. People still are not aware of its advantages & believe it's 'cosmetics' for the website, which might be costly." Oneunder2001: "Yes undervalued 1) inertia, 2) lack basic understanding of computer sciences, 3) lack understanding of consumer-driven market." robwatts: "By some yes – good SEM requires deep broad holistic understanding of how the pieces gel and connect." Jill: And that pretty much sums it up! Want to participate in the Twitter Question of the Week? Follow @jillwhalen on Twitter Share your comments and thoughts here.   Stuff You Might Like ++What's Good for Users Is Good for Search Engines++ I know that you HRA readers know that what's good for your users is almost always what's good for search engines too, but not everybody gets this yet. In fact, in a recent SEOmoz post, Rand Fishkin vehemently disagreed. Of course, I could not let that one go! In case you missed it, here's my rebuttal: Choosing Search Engines Over Users Is a Fatal Flaw in SEO Share your comments and thoughts here.   Advanced Forum Thread of the Week ++Ding Dong the Keyword Tag Is Dead (Or Is It?)++ Last week at the SMX East conference, a Yahoo representative stated on a panel that the Yahoo search engine no longer supported the meta keyword tag, and supposedly hadn't for months. Search marketers all over the world rejoiced because we're sick of answering questions about this tag. It has always had minimal to no bearing on where your page ranks for keyword phrases that are important to you. Unfortunately, what the Yahoo rep stated was simply not true. While many took Yahoo at their word and published the meta keyword tag's obituary, I ran some tests that showed that nothing has changed with how Yahoo supports the tag. As of this writing, Yahoo does still index the words contained within it, and pages can and do show up when the only relevance to the search query is contained within the meta keyword tag. In plain English, if you put a nonsense word into a meta keyword tag and nowhere else, the page will show up in Yahoo when you do a search for that word. Thus, they still index it, and it has some influence in rankings (or else the page wouldn't show up). This doesn't change my recommendation of not worrying about the meta keyword tag because the influence is so minuscule. The only thing it does is reinforce the fact that you should never take anything that a search engine rep (or an SEO) says without testing it for yourself. Read our forum thread on this topic.   Advisor Wrap-up That's all for today! I had a good time at SMX East last week and easily survived with NO laptop! My session went well, plus I caught up with lots of old friends. I also met quite a few HRA subscribers, which is always great. Now it's back to business until PubCon Vegas in November. Are you gonna be there? I'm thinking of taking my daughter Jamie with me; she'll be turning 21 the week before the event. I'm hoping my buddy George will refresh me on the rules of craps because Jamie has an uncanny way of getting dice to roll the way she wants them to when she plays backgammon. We might just come back rich! ;) Catch you in 2 weeks! – Jill   Today's issue is also available online in the newsletter archives. If you prefer RSS/XML please feel free to use our newsfeed here.

JoelComm.com - October 10, 2009 New FTC Rules for Testimonials and Endorsements in Marketing

Home > Newsletter New FTC Rules for Testimonials and Endorsements in Marketing 2009-10-10 11:54:34-04 Last week the FTC dropped a bomb on the marketing world. They released new guidelines for the use of testimonials and endorsements in marketing. I immediately contacted my attorney, Kevin Houchin, to get his take on the latest guidelines. With Kevin's permission, I am republishing the entire text of his interpretation. It is essential that all marketers, online and offline, pay attention to this content. And understand that if you have ANY questions, you should consult your own attorney. I am not providing legal advice! Read more... InfoMedia, Inc., 1151 Eagle Dr. Ste. 325, Loveland, CO 80537, USA

Adisak, A Private Invitation ($1,000 Seminar For $0)

Hi Adisak,

I've got something special lined up just for
you this next THURSDAY that you do not
want to miss ...

See it here Adisak

Ever wonder why many people fail to make
a single dime online while others are able to
pull in 6 figures a month without blinking an eye?

The people making all that money have one
thing that the rest don't have ...

Traffic.

See it here

At the end of the day, traffic is what sets apart
those that "Fail" and those that "Sail" online.

It doesn't matter if you have a product to sell or not.

If you have a consistent traffic source, you can
FIND a way to turn that info profits... that's the
easy part. It's that traffic "Thing" that most people
get hung up on.

See it here

One guy I know that has consistently been able
to drive large amounts of traffic online is
Joel Peterson.

Most months, Joel drives more ad impressions
from Google Adwords than there are people on
the planet. That's over 6 Billion a month ... and
he's been doing it consistently for several years.

Recently I asked Joel if he would hold a webinar
for my subscribers, customers, and friends ...

See it here

Well you're in for a treat because this Thursday he
has agreed to hold one of the most important events
you may attend all year. (And yes it's free).

This THURSDAY at 9:00PM Eastern I'm hosting
a special "Invitation Only" webinar that is going to
teach you how to drive MASSIVE amounts of traffic
online.

In addition to driving traffic, Joel is going to teach
us how to turn that traffic into real profits. Many of
his students have taken the principles he teaches
and have made great money in their first few days.

See it here

Again, the webinar is on:

Thursday Oct 8, 2009 at:

9:00 PM EASTERN TIME
8:00 PM CENTRAL TIME
7:00 PM MOUNTAIN TIME
6:00 PM PACIFIC TIME

Hope to see you on the webinar,

JoelComm.com - October 2, 2009 Prepare your Product Launches with Social Media

Home > Newsletter Prepare your Product Launches with Social Media 2009-10-02 11:00:00-04 I've had a ton of different business ideas. At the time I dreamt them up, they all looked like winners. It didn't always pan out that way. There have been a number of business ventures that I've started only to see them fizzle and die. It's just a part of business. No one ever goes through life without making a mistake. Read more... InfoMedia, Inc., 1151 Eagle Dr. Ste. 325, Loveland, CO 80537, USA
