e_Marketing Blog Free Wordpress Part of Niche Blitz Creating a free Wordpress blog at wordpress.com is a good addition to a niche blitz program. Niche blitz is a concept we are working on at Linknet Promotions which will be released both as a DIY niche building product, and as a service we will be offering selected clients. You can join the Linknet Affiliate program and promote this and other lucrative and in-demand Linknet products. At Linknet Promotions we create Wordpress blogs for clients, to help promote their services. This is done as part of two services we offer: Link Building Level 3, and Niche Blitz. Wordpress blogs are used because Wordpress has high ranking with Google, and gets crawled very quickly and very regularly. A Wordpress blog - whether self-hosted, or hosted at wordpress.com - is an excellent way to build links and begin creating a neighborhood of inter-related resources focusing on specific keywords. Twitter Tools and Strategies - Twitter can be a boring waste of time, or a great way to build and enhance a profile, group of followers, online reputation, etc. It's been around long enough now to have an established track record as a useful social networking forum. Not having months of serious Twitter experience I've been surprised at the superficiality of most tweets, and especially surprised at the kind of filler some people use...but whatever... If you are looking for suggestions on how to leverage the "power" of Twitter for your marketing efforts, check out the resources listed here: Guide to Twitter as a Tool for Marketing and PR, which includes links to resources like the Big Juicy Twitter Guide (Caroline Middlebrook), Newbies Guide to Twitter (Rafe Needleman) and many more. Traffic: Optimizing Techniques To "optimize" each of your pages, here is what you should do: 1. Your primary keyword should appear in the "title" tag - the text that shows up in the blue title bar of the page. 2. Your page should begin with a <h1> heading tag which contains your primary keyword. For example, your title for a secondary page might be "Buying a Golden Retriever Puppy - Some Tips" 3. Your introductory paragraph should contain your primary keyword, and probably one or two instances of other closely related keywords. 4. The rest of your page should focus on related keywords with those keywords emphasized in the text and in sub-headings (using the h2, h3, or h4 tags.) 5. Most "experts" say your closing paragraph should also contain a few instances of your primary keyword. 6. Your page should contain a navigation menu with anchor text using the primary keywords for each page pointing to all the other important pages within your site. 7. You may also want to include a "resources" section which links out to other important resources - including other closely related things you have created - such as articles, videos, products, squidoo pages, blogs, and other websites. Start thinking of your pages from the optimization point of view, and they will begin to do much better in the search engine rankings. |

Consumers Not Excited about Mobile Wallet Concept According to a recent study by In-Stat, U.S. consumers are lukewarm to the idea of using cell phones as mobile wallets. This is an idea that was being pushed in the 90s as "M-Commerce" -- using cell phones as mobile payment devices. But the current manifestation of the idea sees mobile wallets carrying electronic versions of other things usually found in wallets -- membership cards, loyalty cards, and other forms of identification. Advocates of the mobile wallet concept include credit card companies, hardware vendors, credit card terminal companies, and traditional wireless companies like Nokia and Cingular. Industry representatives project there may be as many as 25 million wireless subscribers in North America by 2011. But the survey of consumers found that only about 33% of those surveyed were interested in the idea. 72% of respondents were concerned with the additional fees that would be attached to this service. A smaller, but still very significant, number of respondents were concerned about the potential loss of privacy and security. Mobile Wallet Idea Big in Japan The mobile wallet concept was given a large push in 2005 when a number of major Japanese credit card and mobile phone companies formed the Mobile Wallet Alliance. The incentive for such a service is greater in Japan than in the U.S. and Canada because fewer Japanese consumers rely on credit card transactions. The mobile wallet is seen as a replacement for cash -- especially for "micro payments". Japanese credit card companies and mobile phone companies both see this as a future growth area because it will increase cell phone usage as well as reliance on the credit card infrastructure. Things are a bit different in North America because use of credit cards is already widespread. So converting customers to cell phone payments does not have the same appeal for North American credit card companies -- they already have the business. However, other non-credit card payment processors such as PayPal actually do have a vested interest in seeing the mobile wallet payment system move ahead. Paypal, which has developed a massive online presence have an obvious interest in moving into more traditional payment processing areas. They see mobile payments as a way of offering an alternative to consumers and taking business directly away from credit card processing companies -- just as they have done online. Cell Phones and I-Pods being used for Tour Guides Another expanding use for cell phones is being experimented with in places such as New York City where several companies are developing audio tours for places like museums, art galleries, and even street tours. WNBC reports that the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan offers audio tours on handheld guide devices, and also makes the tours available in MP3 format for free on their website, and even at iTunes. These tours can be downloaded and then played on your iPod or MP3 enabled cell phone while you browse through the Museum. Just don't be surprised if you're asked to stop talking on your cell phone while in the Museum. One similar service includes walking tours narrated by celebrities, developed by Talking Tours. These audio tours can be accessed by cell phone. The .95 charge will be added to your cell phone bill. Another service is made available by Soundwalk. Tours are avaible on CD or as a download. You can then load them into your iPod, cell phone, or other MP3 device so you can listen to an "insider tour" while you "walk the walk".
