Offsite SEO Tip: A Facebook Marketing Guide You Can Use

Posted on by

Since Facebook has a high page rank in Google, Facebook pages rank easily and if you have a fan page with this social networking site, you have greater advantages and your fan page will be seen easily on the net. Doing optimization efforts on your fan page will even be more ideal and bring you more chances of getting the top spot on Google.

Optimizing your fan page can be done by doing any or all of the following. For sure there may be other methods, but the following can be of help:

• Do a keyword research for the keywords you have to use in your fan page. It is a known fact that keywords are important and this can be key factor in your ranking objectives with the search engines.

• Customize your URL with the keywords you have chosen and this will give your effort an enormous effect. The relevance of these keywords will even have more optimization effect.

• Keep your Facebook fan page constantly updated since the search engines reward pages that are fresh. Constantly updating your page means reinforcing your optimization strategies more.

• Build links to your fan page and include keywords in these links. This strategy will help your page rank even higher in the search engines.

Since you are on Facebook, and this site being for social activities only, don’t use your Facebook page for marketing objectives or to promote your product. Create a separate page or business update page for this purpose.

And since you are on Facebook for your online business, there are marketing guides that you can use to make your marketing efforts more effective. What is important is to have your business page updated frequently to make it more interesting and also to get you the top spots in Google.

• Update your page with pictures of your new products or services. Pictures of your working team and other interesting photos will be of help.

• Post videos of your team at work or anything about your products. New product pictures and videos can make viewers interested.

• Have an interaction with your fans and encourage them to post pictures of their experiences when they are using your products. This effort can boost your rankings in the search engines.

• The use of videos to respond to your fan inquiries will be great for your efforts. This will have a great effect on your fans and encourage them further to interact with you.

The above marketing guidelines, when implemented efficiently, can help you achieve greater chances of ranking high in the search engines. And the most important thing is to actively build links to your site and also constantly provide updates to make your site always refreshed, and good as always in the eyes of Google.

My Affiliate Marketing Guide for You Part 6

Posted on by

Welcome back to the Affiliate Marketing Guide. We have now set the foundations in place for your online business and you are ready to go out into the big bad world! But, you still have a couple of things to consider and have a strategy around. You need clarity in order to maximise the opportunity. So, where to next?

  1. Build a list. Stating the obvious but you need to build a list in order to have people that you communicate with and promote products to! So, you will need to set up a squeeze page, which is simply a one page site, which has as its sole objective to collect as many email addresses as it can. You will need to decide on what you are going to offer as a free giveaway in order to entice those who land on your site to give you their personal email address. One word of warning and advice – please respect those who give you their email addresses and never abuse it in any shape or form. They have trusted you with something personal to them and if you break that trust, you are not likely to get it back!
  2. Produce valuable content. Set out your program of activities that ensures you have a continuous stream of content that is valuable to potential subscribers. These activities will include article writing, producing videos, commenting on blogs, social media etc. I know I keep on harping about it in this Affiliate Marketing Guide, and I make no apologies for that, but make sure your content is of value. Put yourself in their position – what advice, information, research or reports would they find of value? When you have answered those questions, then go about pulling them together.
  3. Frequency and content of contact. Now you must decide how often you are going to communicate with your list and how you are going to mix promotional material with pure information giving. There is no magic formula for this, but my view is that it should be around 50/50 for content and about ¾ times a week for frequency. You want your subscribers to open your emails and they will only do that if they know that what you send is of value. They also know that you will be trying to sell them something but they do not want to feel that that is the only reason you send emails out. So, intersperse your promotional material with good content and then you will be perceived of value.

That’s the 3 point advice for today! Come back to the Affiliate Marketing Guide soon for the next 3 points to set you on your way.
