This weeks ABC is O for Organic SEO ~ If expensive online campaigns are not your style, then you might like to check out Organic SEO which allows you to build a digital presence without breaking the bank.  Content driven, contextual promotion requires a bit of patience but has a long lasting impact on your online endeavour.  Organic SEO is a combination of high quality content, through articles, press releases, blogs, (commenting & posting), video marketing, Twitter…. I think you get the idea – it is when your name and/or brand over time “go viral”and show up naturally in the search engines.  Good keyword usage is critical.  This method takes longer than Google campaigns, but it is very effective over time.

This weeks ABC is F for Facebook – One of Social media’s foremost tools, Facebook continues to be an excellent tool for personal as well as organization marketing and needs to have the right focus and management. Facebook can help connect with the right audience and though it takes time to build up a fan following, it manages to give long term benefits. Setting up personal or business pages on Facebook is F.R.E.E. at the moment and for greater impact, you can also consider advertising on Facebook as it is turning out to be an interesting option for many advertisers. Facebook manages to deliver higher targeted advertising options since all users have to log in BEFORE they see the ads.
