All-in-One Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Tool: ClickSplash.com

Info Cubic LLC has announced the release of a revolutionary new all-in-one Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tool called ClickSplash.com. ClickSplash is an ASP (application service provider) system that allows users to automatically optimize their own websites in an effort to improve their ranking on the major search engines.

(PRWEB) December 19, 2005 -- Info Cubic LLC, a worldwide leading SEM (Search Engine Marketing) consulting company, has announced the January 2006 release of a revolutionary new all-in-one Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tool called ClickSplash.com. ClickSplash’s one-of-a-kind product is an ASP (application service provider) system that allows users to automatically optimize their own websites in an effort to improve their ranking on the major search engines. By improving their website’s ranking in the major search engines, ClickSplash users can help increase their site’s traffic.

Search Engine Optimization is one of the hottest markets in website promotion. ClickSplash’s innovative product aims to help web beginners and business owners to take on traditional SEO companies. Traditional SEO services typically cost several thousand dollars and can take weeks to be completed. ClickSplash provides its SEO services at a much lower cost to users (starting at $59 per month) and allows users to analyze and optimize their existing websites in less than 15 minutes. Furthermore, ClickSplash provides Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI) analysis tools, search engine ranking reports and several other tools to help users analyze and track their websites’ optimization. These additional services are provided free of charge as part of the ClickSplash service. ClickSplash is touted as the first true “do-it-yourself” service of its kind to provide an all-in-one SEO website marketing tool. The difference between ClickSplash and traditional SEO do-it-yourself services is that the ClickSplash system not only teaches users how to optimize their website but also analyzes and automatically optimizes the user’s existing website. The user can then upload their newly optimized website and then track it’s ascension in the major search engine rankings.

ClickSplash has several different target markets. The primary target market is individual users or small business owners who are looking to improve their website ranking in a cost-effective and efficient manner. ClickSplash does not require any prior knowledge of SEO, nor any particular website expertise. Another target market is the SEO companies themselves. Traditional Search Engine Optimization is a timely and labor-intensive process. By utilizing ClickSplash’s system, SEO companies can provide their same services with less manpower and costs involved. What used to take weeks to accomplish could be done in less than 15 minutes for much less cost.

How a Group of Internet Marketing Experts Make a Book a bestseller in One Day

Internet marketing experts reveal how people can learn to instantly become bestsellers.

(PRWEB) December 19, 2005 -- Quote-A-Quote (www.quoteAquote.com) by Michael E. Ruge became a number 1 selling book on Amazon (www.Amazon.com) Thursday December 15, 2005. A few months earlier, a team of book and internet marking experts, headed by Mark Victor Hansen (co creator of the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series) headlined unique brainstorming sessions offered by the seminar group Small Seminars (www.SmallSeminars.com). To prove to the seminar’s attendee’s that their marketing strategies were not only amazing in theory, but in practice, they choose to demonstrate them using seminar attendee Michael Ruge’s Quote-A-Quote book. They choose a day when they could combine their efforts, December 15, and on that day, made Quote-A-Quote the #1 book on Amazon.com.

“I used to think there was nothing like the feeling of seeing your first book come off the press…” says Michael Ruge, “…but I’ve come to realize seeing your book become a bestseller right in front of your eyes is far more exciting”. The tactics used to propel any book to bestseller status were shared by the guest experts to a group of ten attendees at the October book marketing session of Small Seminars. “They gave me a plethora of valuable tips and tactics, as well as that much-needed kick in the butt, to finally launch my program after four years of closeting myself in an ivory tower and writing my book” proclaims Connie Bennett, author of Sugar Shock! and Small Seminar attendant.

As the name implies Small Seminars is unique as it limits their number of attendees in order for each participant to receive the individual attention required by experts to develop their particular strategy for success. “Having attended countless seminars myself, I realized the information I was receiving was valuable, but not personable” explains Elly Ruge founder of Small Seminars. “Too often I was leaving these with knowledge, but no particular game plan tailored to my needs. Small Seminars became my solution and our results prove it. Now let it be yours” concludes Mrs. Ruge.

The next event to be hosted by Small Seminars has been dubbed the “eBay Cruise”. From February 5-12, real eBay successes will be teaching participant how to create their own profitable eBay businesses aboard the luxury cruise liner “Star Princess” (www.Princess.com). This perfect mid-winter Caribbean holiday cruise will combine fun-in-the-sun, with powerful eBay strategies in a relaxed environment. www.MyeBayCruise.com for more.

About Small Seminars

Small Seminars (www.SmallSeminars.com) is a new unique seminar experience. Normally hosted at the luxurious Shawnigan Shores Retreat (www.LakeBB.com), Small Seminars offer participants personal interactions with world leading experts. The exceptional quality of these seminars is reflected in their environment and concept. Only ten pre-approved participants are welcomed insuring speakers can address everyone’s specific concerns. The lakeside wilderness setting offers a causal atmosphere allowing interactions with speakers to take place fireside, on the dock and even over breakfast. The experience is all-inclusive meaning once aboard all your needs will be taken care of, including haute cuisine, luxurious accommodations, and unlimited spa treatments. At Small Seminars our focus is you.

Online Advertisers Embrace Software Solution to Combat Click Fraud

Online retailers and other Internet-based companies that use PPC advertising are increasingly concerned about “click fraud,” a phenomena that occurs when a company repeatedly clicks on a competitor’s ads to drive up advertising costs, or when an affiliate repeatedly clicks ads on its own site to increase its commission. Complaining that PPC advertising venues such as Google do little to combat click fraud, Internet advertisers are embracing ClickFraud247.com, a software solution that identifies potential click fraud and provides advertisers with reports alerting them to suspicious activity.

Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) December 14, 2005 –- Cyber Monday, the Monday following Thanksgiving, marked the peak of the online holiday shopping season, and research firm ComScore Networks projects online consumer spending for the holiday season will reach $19 billion, a 24 percent increase from last year. Despite record sales, online retailers can’t help but notice that their bottom lines may be seriously impacted by runaway price-per-click (PPC) advertising costs.

Online retailers and other Internet-based companies that use PPC advertising are increasingly concerned about “click fraud,” a phenomena that occurs when a company repeatedly clicks on a competitor’s ads to drive up advertising costs, or when an affiliate repeatedly clicks ads on its own site to increase its commission. Complaining that PPC advertising venues such as Google do little to combat click fraud, Internet advertisers are embracing ClickFraud247.com, a software solution that identifies potential click fraud and provides advertisers with reports alerting them to suspicious activity.

Ashley Woodyatt, a 26-year-old British entrepreneur, developed ClickFraud247.com after seeing his PPC advertising costs skyrocket. “Click fraud is a very serious problem,” says Woodyatt. “Once I implemented ClickFraud247, I was able to pinpoint and stop repeat clickers. As a result, my PPC advertising costs dropped by 20 percent.”

ClickFraud247.com analyzes every click on a client’s PPC advertising, and provides clients with reports detailing the date and time of each click, as well as the IP address of the clicker and the site where the advertisement appeared. It also provides visitor alerts, so that if the same IP address clicks on an ad several times, a pop-up window will appear on the user’s screen that recommends the user bookmark that site.

Londoner Carol Brown attests to the effectiveness of ClickFraud247.com. “At first I was very skeptical about click fraud, but the software has reduced my monthly advertising costs by 20 percent,” she says. “It’s well worth paying the monthly subscription.”

ClickFraud247.com offers their software for a flat $30 monthly fee for up to 3,000 clicks, or for volume users, a flat one-cent per click rate. “ClickFraud247.com is designed to save companies money and improve their profit margins,” says Woodyatt. “We provide a low cost solution that saves PPC advertisers a fortune.”

Thousands of Bloggers Overwhelm New Media Web Site

Thousands of part-time and full-time bloggers have swamped Scooop.net, a consumer-generated media site based on democratic voting principles and active participation of its members. Since the launch of the site (www.scooop.net), over 50,000 visitors have come to the site, posting hundreds of stories and news features. One thousand Scooop correspondents have registered to post news stories, making it one of the fastest growing sites of its kind.

Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) December 14, 2005 -- Thousands of part-time and full-time bloggers have swamped Scooop.net, a consumer-generated media site based on democratic voting principles and active participation of its members. Since the launch of the site (www.scooop.net), over 50,000 visitors have come to the site, posting hundreds of stories and news features. One thousand Scooop correspondents have registered to post news stories, making it one of the fastest growing sites of its kind.

Bloggers are excited about Scooop.net because it gives them a national forum to gain exposure for stories that they publish on their web sites. A study performed by Pew Internet & American Life reports that 7% of the 120 million U.S. adults who use the Internet say they have created a blog or web-based diary. That represents approximately 8 million Americans. Twenty-seven percent of Internet users say they read blogs, totaling 32 million people.

Consumer-generated media is fast becoming a major source of news and information for average Americans, and sites like Scooop.net will only accelerate this trend. This is evidenced by the amount of visitors who have come to Scooop.net to read the news posts, many of which are blog related. “We knew we were going to attract interest from the blogging community,” says Bob Cefail, Chairman of InTouch Media Group, which launched Scooop.net, “but to have thousands of people hit our site each day this early was a surprise. It looks like we better get some more server capacity.”

The site is also experiencing a significant number of return visitors each week which indicates that Scooop.net is becoming a true destination site and news outlet. “We can’t believe how many times people are coming back to Scooop.net, over and over, to see how many times their stories are being voted on,” states Cefail enthusiastically. “We have caught lightening in a bottle for sure.”

The web site also validates traditional news outlets that are favored by the general public. Member correspondents of Scooop.net are encouraged to post web site links on Scooop.net which contain specific news items which are compelling. Some of the favorite traditional news sites include www.msnbc.com, www.foxnews.com, www.usatoday.com and www.drudgereport.com.

Since Scooop.net members vote on which stories should be promoted to the main pages of the site for more exposure, the quality if writing and story telling on many participating blogs is dramatically improving. “Some bloggers think that having a blog is all it takes and that people will just flock to their blog. That couldn't be further from the truth,” concludes Cefail. “You have to provide something that readers can't find anywhere else. In essence you are quite literally selling yourself. Good writing skills and unique content are essential things to have in a successful blog,”

Businesses use Weblogs to Communicate with Customers

Businesses across the country are replacing traditional marketing devices with another, much more powerful marketing tool: the weblog. Shawn Weeks, a marketing consultant from Columbia, South Carolina, explains how weblogs are highly beneficial marketing strategies for any company – large or small.

Columbia, SC (PRWEB) December 13, 2005 – Many businesses are using their websites, accompanied with a weblog, to satisfy old customers and entice new ones.

Weblog is a buzzword that has gained incredible popularity lately, particularly in the media; it’s simply an online journal or diary. While weblogs began with such a simple, wholesome purpose of allowing individuals to keep in touch with friends and family, blogs (short for weblog) are now turning into an additional means of advertising for many savvy companies.

The advantages of weblogs to businesses, both large and small, are abundant. Large corporations, such as FedEx, Mitsubishi, and Starbucks are using blogs to appear less like colossal, faceless entities and more like trusted mom-and-pop shops. For example, visitors who frequent the weblog managed by Google can find stories and pictures of Google employees at baseball games, marathons, and other leisurely events.

One key concept behind the Google weblog, as well as other corporate blogs, is widely prevalent in the television shopping industry. Sales representatives on television shopping networks appeal to potential customers by creating a sense of friendship and trust. The sales reps accomplish this by referring to his or her family members, friends, and daily lives while selling a product. The consumer feels safe, secure, and happy – knowing that by making a purchase, they are fulfilling their own need and buying from a friend.

Small businesses, on the other hand, use weblogs to become even more accommodating to their normally small, loyal customer base. They are using blogs to keep frequent shoppers aware of any new product arrivals, while announcing specials and sales to keep existing customers happy and to attract new ones.

Leading Local Search Platform Provider Launches RegisterLocal, a Master Profiling Service for Businesses

RegisterLocal provides a simple and cost-effective method for small businesses to create and maintain their own up-to-date business profiles which are distributed across key Internet destinations (including Google, Yahoo, Superpages, Switchboard and many more), from one single, simple online interface.

CHICAGO (PRWEB) December 4, 2005 -- LocalLaunch, Inc., a leading local search platform and fulfillment provider, has released RegisterLocal™ – a powerful new product to create, publish and distribute structured information for local businesses. Through the creation of a Master Business Profile™, RegisterLocal enables a business to easily create and maintain current and detailed information across Internet Yellow Pages (IYPs), Data Aggregators, Local Search Engines, Internet Directories, and Mobile Devices.

With an increasing number of local search providers seeking information from businesses to fuel their search utilities, RegisterLocal aims to ensure that a business can easily, and in a cost-effective manner, enter business information including description, logo, products and services, brands, hours of operation, service area, contact information and more. By creating a Master Business Profile, RegisterLocal provides the Internet’s first single environment to create, publish, distribute and update this important business information.

Until now, it has been very difficult for a business owner to take full advantage of a growing number of local online listing resources. The dizzying number of available platforms, sites, and directories, combined with disparate listing requirements, has discouraged local business owners from utilizing these important marketing resources. Many small businesses often have out-of-date information or even no information at all, on the Internet. RegisterLocal is a cost-effective method of helping these businesses develop a strong Internet presence and distribute its business information across the Internet.

"We are pleased to provide a product that enables local businesses to take advantage of local search marketing at an affordable price” said LocalLaunch president Justin Sanger. “The accurate and comprehensive dissemination of local business information is the most important low-cost marketing strategy that a small- or medium-sized business can employ on the Internet."

Already, RegisterLocal, in a private-labeled form, is a centerpiece interactive marketing product that powers several of the world's leading Yellow Page publishers and Newspaper organizations.

RegisterLocal is expected to have a significant impact upon the local search marketplace. As Sanger puts it, “It's a business's foundation on the Internet.”

Senior partner Theodore Eppenstein, who argued on behalf of investors before the U.S. Supreme Court in the landmark Shearson/American Express, Inc. v. McMahon case, assists investors, employees and businesses with valid claims to recover their losses in court or arbitration.

Mr. Eppenstein’s expanded list of common broker and brokerage firm abuses includes over twenty practices which can be accessed easily through the internet portal to the firm’s website, http://www.securitieslawarbitration.com, or directly on the firm’s main website at http://www.eppensteinlaw.com. Each one of these potential claims is fact-specific and can differ according to jurisdiction.

According to Mr. Eppenstein, the five most common investor claims of broker misconduct are: breach of fiduciary duty; recommending unsuitable investments; fraudulent misrepresentation or omission to state material facts; breach of contract; and churning or excessive trading.

Five Most Common Claims Against Brokers

Unless a broker is merely an order taker, he may be acting as a fiduciary of the investor. Granting discretion to the broker is an excellent example of the broker being given special ability to trade a customer’s account without seeking approval first. Many cases have been filed against brokers who abused this relationship by placing their personal benefit above the interests of their client.

Unsuitable investments are those recommended by the brokerage firm to the customer that do not match up with the customer’s investment objectives or risk tolerance. The losses resulting from speculative investments with high risk to an individual’s retirement account, if it was opened to preserve capital with limited risk, can easily fall into this category.

Fraudulent misrepresentations can consist of knowingly false communications given by the broker to the customer, or the failure to give adequate notice about the risks or nature of investments which the consumer relied on and resulted in investment losses.

Typically when investment accounts are opened, contracts are executed which govern the dealings between the brokerage firm and the customer. When the provisions of these contracts are violated and cause investment losses, claims for those losses are often asserted.

Excessive trading or “churning” can occur when brokers trade more to earn their commissions than to make profits for their customers. The trading patterns of brokers who make recommendations for heavy trading should be investigated for possible claims.

Tips to Investors to Prevent Abuse and Recover Losses

Recent Securities Fraud Hotline Blog postings by the Eppenstein firm are instructive on how to avoid becoming the victim of securities fraud, commodities fraud and other investment abuses. The “Top 5 Investor Tips You Must Know to Protect Yourself from Deceptive Brokers” is a brief but clear-cut set of guidelines for investigating your investment advisor, establishing a personal relationship with your advisor and the branch manager instead of using an anonymous call center, knowing your investments, avoiding the practice of giving full discretion to a stock broker and writing down and confirming your investment objectives and risk tolerance to your broker and his supervisor.

The Securities Fraud Hotline Blog posting “What to Do If You Suspect Securities Fraud” gives a simple 3-step plan of action you can follow to try to recover your investment losses: gather your investment records; set up a client meeting with an attorney experienced in investor rights and protections to discuss the facts of your case; and get on the fast track to file your case, since there are various statutes of limitations that may apply to actions and eligibility rules at the SRO (self-regulatory organization) forums that normally adjudicate such claims, such as the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

Search Engine Marketing and Optimization (SEM / SEO) Firm Announces Release of New 'No-Limit' SEO

Pole Position Marketing (www.PolePositionMarketing.com), a leading provider of search engine marketing strategies and SEO, has unveiled an enhanced set of optimization services called No-Limit search engine optimization.

Reno, NV (PRWEB) December 1, 2005 -- Pole Position Marketing (www.PolePositionMarketing.com), a leading provider of search engine marketing strategies and SEO, has unveiled an enhanced set of optimization services called “No-Limit” search engine optimization.

“No–Limit” SEO is a new ongoing SEO strategy that allows for the constant evolution of a client’s internet marketing campaigns and ensures ultimate website relevance to the search engines for competitive, high-volume search phrases. The basic concept of “No-Limit” is to provide a flat, low monthly fee for the constant, ongoing optimization of a site, rolling out new optimized pages and targeted keywords every month. By focusing optimization in this way, clients are able to establish themselves as an industry authority for virtually all relative keyword phrases.

“‘No-Limit’ optimization allows our clients to have continuously improving websites causing them to advance beyond, and stay ahead of, their competition,” say Stoney deGeyter, President of Pole Position Marketing. “Instead of being charged additional set-up and monthly fees anytime there is a change or upgrade to their account, clients are now able to target an unlimited number of keywords throughout the life of their marketing campaign.”

“No–Limit” SEO will benefit online businesses in any industry because it never allows a site to stagnate, which can often lead to being overtaken in the search results by the competition. As the needs of the business change, the SEO campaign adapts accordingly to match its micro and macro environments.

This new strategy has an element of flexibility that will compliment the ever-changing nature and rapid pace of online business. It is designed to complement a client’s total marketing efforts, even as marketing goals change with time. On track with a business’ growth, “No-Limit” SEO continues to find new avenues of opportunity that promote growth, rather than inhibit it.

No Limit SEO is also an economical choice, as pricing is not based on a per-keyword or per-page basis. For one flat monthly fee, new targeted keywords are identified and pages optimized monthly, bringing in targeted traffic from new avenues every month, continuously improving the client’s return on investment. You can find more info on “No-Limit” SEO at http://www.polepositionmarketing.com/search-engine-optimization/keyword-optimization.php

[Editor's comment: I'm surprised that known industry figures are still touting  "Top Ranking" as something that people should be pursuing. Isn't traffic and conversions what site owners really want? Shouldn't that be the focus and not just rankings...? (hris ]
