<h3><font>Is Google Jumping into the Social Media Waters?</font></h3>

<font>Facebook, Twitter and Now Google!</font>

<font>Just reported on CNN Google is Jumping into the Social Media Waters!</font>

<font>Google is expected to plunge into the world of Facebook and Twitter, using its popular Gmail service to allow users to post status updates and items.</font>

<font>The search-engine giant, which recently tweaked its search function to allow easier access to social media results, has planned an event for Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET at its California headquarters.</font>

<font>That comes a day after the Wall Street Journal quoted <font>"people familiar with the matter"</font> saying the feature would allow Facebook-style status updates, as well as pinging when users post something to affiliated sites like YouTube or Picasa.</font>

<font>If it appears as described, it would be a sort of anti-Twitter, making a user's updates private by default, as opposed to open, as they are on the micro-blogging site.</font>

<font>The hands-down leader in the search engine world, Google has been branching out on projects that include its Nexus One smartphone -- the company's first foray into hardware marketing.</font>

<font>Late last month, Google announced that people could tweak their accounts to make results related to friends, co-workers and other members of their social networks appear above all other results.</font>

<font>The Social Search feature was introduced to a limited number of Google users last year and was made available to everyone in beta status on January 28.</font>

<font>The change came with a hint of more things to come.</font>

<font>"This is just a first step in our ongoing effort to ensure that Google Web search is always as social as the Web itself," the company said in an instructional video posted to its official blog. </font>

<font>Google expected to plunge into social networking with Gmail status updates Search engine giant has planned a <font>1 p.m. announcement for Tuesday</font> Wall Street Journal quoted sources saying e-mail service will show status, other activity Move comes after Google tweaked searches to emphasize social networks</font>

Today Google Real-Time Search Changes Everything. Not being where your customer is looking could be costing you their business! Search engines are tightening up the loopholes to manipulate positioning.

So-called “doorway” pages, tricks with meta tag/keyword files, etc. no longer are effective. Keyword positioning, along with indexing, is the way to be seen on today’s Internet.

• The vast majority of clicks occur within the top 5 positions on a search page.

• As a rule, the more competitive the business category, the harder it is to attain decent placement. Conversely, the more competitive the business category, the more important placement is to success of the business.

Entrepreneurs and small businesses constantly find themselves looking around asking themselves why they can’t quite seem to find a good fit for what they need from service providers.

People do business with who they like, who they trust and who truly care about their business. In fact, a recent study by US News & World Report revealed that when clients leave their current provider it’s not because of a pricing or product problem, but a “people” problem. People that no longer value their business, or seem indifferent to it. A whopping 68% of them.

• A fractional 14% defected because of a pricing issue followed by 9% who were successfully wooed by a competitor.

• With Google Real-Time Search the playing field has been leveled.

• No longer can you or your competition sit back and think they own their TOP organic Google positions!

Google search engine ranking factors are among the most important items to check in any SEO work. This will ensure that the strategies formulated are effective, current and optimal for the best search engine ranking results. Every search engine optimization analysis examines the website's performance against these important ranking factors. This article series will take a closer look at these factors and find evidence for their existence, so you will know that you are on the right track when performing SEO on your website.

If deficiencies are found in a site's Google search engine ranking factors, the SEO in charge will attempt to make some changes to the website in such a way that it will now become search engine friendly and compliant with SEO ranking factors. Taken from a broader perspective, these improvements cover three important aspects:

• Content (using optimal titles, checking content quality, focusing relevance to targeted keywords, etc).

• Links (how other sites reference the website in terms of quality and quantity).

• Technical aspects (i.e. crawlability of the website) to name just three.

Are all big factor's in SEO, to improve Web Site Search Engine Rankings, with the Top Ten Search Engines, like Google, Alta Vista, AOL Search, Ask Jeeves, Excite, Inktomi, Lycos, MSN, Teoma and Yahoo.

SEO is the skillful art of placing researched keywords, that have a known searching audience, into various places on a web page that are known to be given weight by the ranking systems and algorithms of Major Search Engines

It is estimated that less than two percent of the commercial and small business website content writing on the Internet have had any optimization for search engines today still.

Our SEO Campaign Management Services provides you with the ultimate search engine optimization (SEO) system - virtually ensuring you will obtain top ten search engines rankings for your chosen web sites and keywords to Improve Web Site Search Engine Rankings

A properly optimized Web Site can take you from search invisibility and zero rankings to top spots in these Top Ten Search Engines, especially if optimization is combined with known off page ranking factors.

A post from the CEO

Carson City, NV - Veretekk.com, Inc. CEO Thomas Prendergast (co-founder and chief developer of the Veretekk Automated Marketing SystemTM) announced today that along with Mike Darling (President, Veretekk.com) the creators of Veretekk have made a strategic business decision to launch their latest platform called V2 this year.

Thomas Prendergast CEO of Veretekk has been on the Internet since the late 80s. A pioneer in the marketing sector with such inventions as the online application, self replicated website and self replicating PDF ebooks is about to launch another advanced marketing sensation.

Since the mid 90s I have been focused on building a serious entrepreneurial social business web system. That system is called Veretekk. We started out building Veretekk years before there was anything recognized as a Social Network system.

Veretekks main features were lead development, email systems and training. No one comes close to the Veretekk lead development capabilities. Veretekk was the first verified lead system long before Aweber or Getresponse launched, explained Mike Darling

Thomas Prendergast added, Veretekk has been in business for over 10 years going strong. The time has come for a huge upgrade of Veretekk. In the next months you are going to discover a paradigm shift in online marketing as our designers and engineers begin to deliver a social marketing solution that professional marketers have been looking for.

A system that offers leads everyday, traffic portal hybrids infused with social marketing upgrades, state of the art conference rooms with quality and features that rival Gotomeeting, real unlimited hosting (that professional webmasters will appreciate) and live presentations, live training and top level mentors to help lead the way to your success and domination of the search engines. Thomas continued, but also stressed that, Relationships and live interaction have always been the most important element in Veretekk. One of the new key features of V2 will be system wide collaboration in a full turn key environment. Thomas Prendergast ended this interview with his personal way of doing business, Ethics, honesty and total accountability have always been my highest priority That is why, you can personally call me and that is why you will be completely impressed with V2, I guarantee it.

Building A Business Relationship

Building A Business Relationship

Research shows that even with the best products and business practices, you still need
strong relationships to succeed in this marketplace. The following is a roadmap to turn
personality differences into positive business results.

Respect is at the heart of building business relationships. It is the glue that holds together
the functioning of teams, partnerships and managing relationships.
(Up and down, peer to peer, internally and externally).

Respecting the right to differ is a concept like apple pie and motherhood. We all agree with
it but can we truly foster it?

The first step is to identify the specific areas of difference. Many people see things in terms
of right and wrong. My way is right and therefore other ways are wrong.

When a situation is viewed this way, a power struggle ensues. When, however, a situation can
be seen through the lens of difference, and a position is simply a matter of opinion not fact,
then cooperation and compromise is possible.

Identifying and understanding differences allows people to shift their position to one of compromise and negotiation.

The following steps are the roadmap to success:

1) Respect leads to accepting a person for what he/she is

2) Accepting a person where they are, creates an environment of trust

3) Trust, leads to a willingness to be open to:

a) New Opportunities

b) New Collaborations

c) New Strategies

d) New Ideas

e) New Products.

Once you understand the above you can use the following list to avoid power struggles, which drain energy from your effectiveness.

The following is a list of six types of differences to look for:

1. Communication Styles

All people do not communicate in the same fashion. There are many inventories available to identify differing styles. Once you understand a person's style, this knowledge can lead to respect not conflict

2. Non-Verbal Communication

All forms of communication must be considered. This form of communication is more covert, but not any less important. Non-verbal communication includes; body language, and tone. Non verbal communication may differ from the verbal.

With this additional understanding of what is really being communicated more effective collaboration is possible.

3. Learning Styles

People learn in different ways. When this concept is in the forefront of understanding then communications can be geared to various styles and will meet with greater success.

4. Differing Values

This concept can be a little tricky. While values need to be identified and respected, there are times when conflicting values can be so different that they cannot coexist on the same team. When mutually exclusive values are encountered, collaboration is not recommended.

5. Boundaries

We all have different space needs and boundary needs. (Boundaries are the limits you place
on the behavior of others around you.) The first step is to be aware of peoples' boundaries and then to use this understanding to approach them respectfully. This new behavior often avoids conflict and strengthens relationships.

6. Self Respect

Self respect is a vital and primary building block that supports the formation of relationships.
By being aware of your own needs and styles you create a healthy foundation and the ensuing relationships are more solid.

Google's Real-Time Search Changes Everything

Thomas Prendergast — Sun Dec 13, 2009 5:01 pm

Author: Thomas Prendergast

Posted: Sun Dec 13, 2009 5:01 pm

<h2>Today Google Real-Time Search Changes Everything </h2>

The real-time Web is here. Google has officially jumped into real-time search, taking full advantage of its recent partnerships and changing the face of search engine optimization. Conduct a search on Google and you might now see a sizable part of the page dedicated to real-time search. This is a scrolling, live update of content from across the Web about your query and one of the most significant public-facing changes Google has made in a long time. It's also one of the biggest changes to SEO (as it applies to Google) in recent history as reported by Website Magazine.

The real-time updates - or Latest results - take up a significant portion of screen space. After the sponosored listings at the top of the page, then the top organic result comes the real-time updates. In some cases, the box is also very close to the fold. In short, as it stands today, your company's organic listings might have already changed dramatically. While the total number of results does not seem to have changed, you might have dropped below the fold. That means checking your search positions immediately, and getting to work on improving them.

Below is a Google results page for Obama health care. The first result is the top result, then you will see the real-time results. The bottom result after the real-time box is just above the fold. This is a hot topic, so keep in mind that not all queries will produce real-time results, or results will be ordered differenlty. For example, a search for zhu zhu (a popular toy this holiday season) shows real-time results, but at the very bottom of the page. Also impacting the position of real-time results and normal organic listings will be the number of paid search results.

One thing is for certain - Web professionals stock in Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, FriendFeed, Jaiku and Identi.ca just went through the roof. Those companies are now partners, waist-deep in the Google mix; and that's where many of the real-time results are coming from. In short, if you're not on some or all of these networks, its time to get started. And you must go beyond just making a profile. These real-time results will take into account your social graph - the connections you make and your authority in the space, as well as the content you provide on these networks. We're talking quality here. Businesses must provide value to their social connections. For example, if you tweet an important piece of information and it gets re-tweeted by your followers, you can bet Google will take notice. Google will be examining accounts' social stock and including those in the updates - on the first page of Google. You will also notice that real-time results are not limited to social networks, but include blogs and other websites. Content creation and optimization (creative copy, keyword-friendliness, etc.) becomes a mission-critical business objective.

It will also be interesting to see if these new partner networks get flooded with content noise, once publishers realize the opportunity. It's quite possible the personal space users feel they have within networks like Facebook will be come serious spam magnets.

Veretekk Platinum Control and Search Engine Optimization

<h3><font>Veretekk Platinum Control and Search Engine Optimization</font></h3>

What do these two stand for? Simply put seo stands for search engine optimization but that can mean many different things depending on who you speak to and the Veretekk Platinum Control system is your tool for getting there.

Search engine optimization is a process of creating a site that is setup optimally to rank high in Google and other search engines. If you are looking to grow your business online, you need your site listed in the top of the search engines.  There are over 400,000,000 searches online daily.  These are people that are looking for information and items to purchase.

Are You where your customer is looking?

To outrank your competitor you just need to do a bit better than them at everything, knowing what that is where professionals can help you.

That is the Veretekk Platinum Control system!

Search engine optimization is a process of creating a site that is setup optimally to rank high in Google and other search engines. Veretekk Platinum Control means strong placement on the Internet.

It is becoming an absolute necessity, even for brick and mortar based retailers and non-internet related service providers. Consumers under 40 years of age are much more likely to search the Internet first for almost anything (making the Yellow Pages and other directory advertising much less effective).

At least first page placement is vital to be effective on the Internet. Your potential customer, client or user rarely clicks beyond the third bona-fide choice they are presented with. If your site is not on the top half of the first page, forget about being effective on the Internet.

Do you know what separates the struggling, heartbroken and cash-poor online entrepreneurs and small business owners? From the confident, clued-in marketers pulling down huge numbers and results?

The Veretekk Platinum Control system!

The search engines have one goal: to deliver the best possible results in response to someone’s query.  They are constantly tweaking their algorithm to make sure they are ranking the best sites.
 
People are changing how they search, site owners are changing their sites and the engines need to respond and make sure their algorithm is always fresh (to prevent people who have found ways to scam their way to the top with black hat techniques).  While most people dread algorithm changes, I find them a great opportunity.  If you are aggressively but ethically optimizing your site, you should have nothing to fear and any shake ups create opportunity for you.

Use the Veretekk Platinum Control system! For more information on The Veretekk Platinum Control, please visit Veretekk Platinum Control DEFINED

<H2>The First Steps in Becoming a Successful Internet Marketer</H2>

The first step in becoming a successful Internet Marketer is to market yourself.

Lets face it the Internet is huge, nobody out there knows you. Right?

What I mean by that is to brand yourself so people will know who you are.

Would you buy from someone you dont know? Of course you wouldnt Right?

Your next question would be how to I do that? Well, I am going to tell you.

Get a piece of paper and write down everything about yourself:

Introduce yourself

What are you good at?

What can you teach other people to do?
Do you know about search engine optimization?
Do you know how to write?

Do you know how to get leads?
Do you know what traffic exchanges get good results;
do you know where to advertise at etc?

Think about what you can offer someone.
For example,

I am very knowledgeable about marketing on the Internet so I can teach you how to market on the Internet.

It can be anything. The goal here is to get your name out there (Branding) and to build a business relationship

with your reader. Of course the subject matter has to be something that the reader is interested in.
You want to attract people who are interest in thing that you are interested in.

Start a newsletter or a blog. And post your writing to it regularly.

Remember to post:

your name

telephone number

email address

Skype Id

</BLOCKQUOTE>
You want people to contact you. Dont worry too much about people calling you; I have been posting my telephone number for years.

I may have received one or two calls. But I do get alot of email messages.

Vemma Leads 121

vt-mychoice — Tue Dec 01, 2009 5:00 pm

Author: vt-mychoice

Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 5:00 pm

Quality companies that produce products and provide income opportunities to the public can be found all over Google. Vemma™ is one of those good companies. Joining their business opportunity would be a good idea if the company had a good prospecting plan in place to acquire Vemma Leads. The last thing you want is to end up with the sole responsibility of building your business through Vemma Leads.

The number one reason people join a MLM or Network Marketing Company is to create an additional stream of income. Most new reps pour their heart and soul into their new business. They soon find out that they have to sell the companies products and then convince people to join their organization. YIKES!

The new Vemma™ reps typically turn to purchasing Vemma leads to build their business. After a few calls, they find out that the leads have been called many times and don't want to hear from another person about another skin care, healthcare, or network marketing product or opportunity again. PERIOD! The new reps dreams and hopes of making a secondary income is shattered. The leads that have been purchased are tired and sold over and over again. These Vemma leads have been pretty much picked over but even if they aren't once you get the lead, you still have to call them and sell them on your business.

I personally don't want to call any Vemma Leads.

That's why I buy customers and not Vemma Leads. I refuse to purchase a lead and call anyone. I have done it and don't like it! I have heard stories of people being hung up on, cursed at, and had to listen to people tell then that they wish they could get off the list that is being sold. So when you buy the list you are not getting a quality name but a name that has a history of being sold over and over again to unsuspecting people who are trying to build a business.

Are you sick of spending money on worthless Vemma Leads? What if I told you there was a better and more exciting way to build your business? What if you could buy customers, instead of leads? Would that be a revolutionary approach to the same old problem that ALL network marketers face?

The Home Business Marketing Group

The Home Business Marketing Group has the unique approach of buying customers and growing your business through a large retail customer base. That's paying customers already purchasing your products; they are not Vemma Leads. The concept of buying customers, not leads, ensures long term residual income for the life of the customer relationship.

The Home Business Marketing Group is the first off-shoot of Its Good Business, architects of the marketing plan, and it is now being implemented by our roup. Members of the Home Business Marketing Group work together for the good of the whole team. This synergistic approach is something you will never see in other MLM companies.

For more information on this revolutionary way to start your business on solid ground, visit us at the Home Business Marketing Group.

Getting Targeted Traffic To Your Website

soho — Tue Dec 01, 2009 1:00 am

Author: soho

Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 1:00 am

<H3>GETTING TARGETED TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE
</H3>

I know you have seen countless articles that talk about the importance

of generating target traffic to your website Right?

In fact it is nearly impossible to have a profitable internet business without traffic.

The importance of traffic generation cannot be overstated.

So, we can agree that traffic is an essential element for any internet business.

<H3>How do we speed up our website traffic? </H3>

If you already have a website you might be wondering how to get it noticed on the web.

Perhaps you are selling the same product as hundreds of other internet marketers,

but just can't seem to find away to get your share of the traffic.

You need to take a look at your traffic generating plan.

The following are seven ways that can help you to get a lot of traffic to your website.

<H3>1. PAY-PER-CLICK ADVERTISING</H3>

Google Adwords and Yahoo Overture are advertising systems that can provide vast amounts of

targeted traffic to your website. Although with this proven technique can deliver tons of traffic

they do so at a cost.

Every time a prospect clicks on your ad you are charged for it. It doesn't matter if they purchase anything

on your website. One of the advantages of pay-per-click advertising is that you can be very specific about how much you

want to spend on a per click and per day basis.

You can also target specific keywords to ensure that your visitors will be interested in your products and services.

As you can see this can be expensive, but if done right it can literally flood your site with traffic.

<H3>2. LINK EXCHANGE</H3>

When exchanging links with other sites, both sites can benefit. Now certainly not all sites are created equally.

Linking to high traffic sites will help you with the search engines. It will also allow you to get traffic directly

from the other website. This strategy takes more time than pay-per-click advertising, but can be very powerful.

<H3>3. USE VIRAL MARKETING</H3>

Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your company's products and services with minimal cost.

This method takes a bit more time to develop, but can help generate traffic for an extended period of time.

The basic strategy is to somehow attach your company name, website address, affiliate link, etc. into an item that

you can give away to your visitors.

An example might be a how-to video. If people like the video they will probably keep a copy and pass it along to others.

As the how-to video spreads around the internet your company name, website address, affiliate link, etc. spreads with it.

Viral marketing could be thought of as an electronic form of word of mouth marketing.

<H2>3 Reasons Your Prospects Aren't Buying From You</H2>

You've worked for months to create the perfect ebook. It includes the answer to every possible question

your prospects could have. You've created a sales page.

You even offered a discount and threw in a lot of bonuses. So why aren't they buying?

Despite what all the "instant experts" may tell you about how you can generate millions

of dollars of sales simply by purchasing their program and doing this and that, the reality is there's a

system to building your business -whether online or offline.

Before you start any new business, product or service, you must decide on the following 3 things:

<H3>1. Is there a need?</H3>

Is there a group of people who believe they have a need or want which you can fulfill?

Notice the language. . . I did not ask if YOU THINK there's a need.

What you think is irrelevant unless you plan on purchasing your own products.

<H3>2. Do they know, like, and trust you?</H3>

Have you built a relationship with the people you are asking to purchase your products

and services or do you fly in, offer to sell something and then disappear until the next offer?

Too often, I receive emails which call themselves newsletters, but are nothing more than

sales letters which contain NO content (Can we say UNSUBSCRIBE here?).

You want to take the time to get to know your prospects and clients.

<H3>3. Why are you special? </H3>

What do you offer your customers and prospects that your competitors do not?

What makes you different?

Many experts say you should share the "what" and the "why", but not the "how"

until your prospect purchases something.

I disagree in that it's not authentic to me to do that. If you've been on any of my

calls, you know I believe in giving a lot of content - that makes me special from

other coaches.

I'm a teacher at heart. What makes YOU special in your industry?

If your prospects aren't buying from you, you're missing at least one of the above three critical

components of a successful and profitable client/vendor relationship.

Always remember, in designing your business, regardless of your industry, you have to be

constantly aware of what your clients and prospects are searching for even as you build a

business to suit your lifestyle.

<H3>Your Challenge</H3>

Starting with your business, step out of the box and ask each of the questions above

from an objective point-of-view.

If your business passes, ask the same questions for each product

and service you offer or plan to offer.

Once you have the answers, you can confidently move on.
