The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Succeed
Only one of every 5 businesses makes it to its 5th year, and fewer still make it to 10 years. What do the successful businesses have in common?1. The experience and skills of the top managers. Over half of business failures are directly related to managerial incompetence.2. The energy, persistence and resourcefulness (the will to make the business succeed) of the top managers. Many business owners have failed or come close several times before their “instant” success. Don’t give up.3. A product that is at least a cut above the com

ther example would be 'buy tires'. If 'buy tires' were in the title or body of the ad this would add to the quality score.

5. There's a way to cut a deal with other search engines and bypass the content network.

There are 3 places Google shows ads: a. Home page b. Content network c. Other search engines

It's not uncommon to have 40% of your ads shipped out to other search engines. Once you track this activity you can cut a deal with them and pay half the price per click.

People who have a bad CTR and poor quality score end up paying more per click for minimal results. Google makes a fortune on desperate advertisers who are often novices in the business opportunity industry.

Follow Your Strategy
Did you know that most solo-professionals hire the Cheshire Cat as their marketing consultant? Frankly that’s the only conclusion I can come up with watching so many excited entrepreneurs eager to build a great business but ending up overwhelmed by too much information and frustrated by their lack of good results.Remember Alice in the Wonderland facing a fork in the road and asking the Cheshire Cat for directions? More importantly remember the cat’s answer? “If you don’t know where you are going what doesn’t matter which road you take?” I call

Google Adwords, the final frontier, the novice internet marketer's best friend!

But is it really?

Google can make you or break you and according to their own data, 7 out of 10 are broken. This isn't because Google doesn't work - it does. You'd better believe it, but like anything else, you have to know how the game is played FIRST, not last. There are 5 things Google really doesn't want you to know. By reading on you'll be among the elite 30% who play Google all the way to the bank.

First let me share some background which may be the biggest myth of all... consider it a bonus.

Ads are NOT ranked in accordance with the amount bid. Its kind of like the airline industry. You paid a certain price for your seat. The person next to paid less, yet their seat is the same as yours.

Google ranks using two major criteria...

1) Language in the ad and landing page which determines relevancy (quality) 2) How many times the ad is clicked and impressions shown

So for example, if your ad is shown from a search (quality) 1000 times and is clicked through only 5 times (CTR) which is .5% then you're in trouble. However, if your ad is clicked on 10-20 times which is 1-2%, then you're in business. Google will then start raising your position and lowering your cost. Sound crazy? Read on...

Here are the 5 things Google doesn't want you to know:

1. All accounts are defaulted to the content network.

Google ships ads out to other search engines and content networks. Content network is the default setting for Google Adwords. Being in the Content network of Google is like the kissmof death for any marketer and their wallet. Ads shown here get killed in the click through rate (CTR) because the user isn't looking to click ads, they are interested in the website's content- not your ad. Besides this,on the rare occasion they do click your ad, conversions are miniscule. This is also where fraud occurs. Adsense based sites get their ads from the Content network. Ever heard of click robots?

2. Keywords are too general.

Let's say someone is in the mortgage industry... they shouldn't use the general word 'mortgage' if they are selling reverse mortgages or second mortgages. Some people figure the word 'mortgage' will cover their bases, but it only drains their bank account.

3. Use quotes and brackets around your keywords.

If a marketer is using the keywords making money on the internet and doesn't use quotes or brackets, then ANY search that has ANY of those 5 words in it will trigger an impression and drive your CTR down dramatically.

If a searcher uses the words 'making chocolate brownies' your ad pops up. The quotes and brackets specify the keyword phrase you want to focus on. With quotes, your search phrase stays intact but may have other words before or after it. With brackets, the seracher only used those 5 words in the exact order YOU put them in.

4. Put the keyword in the title or body of your ad.

About 80% of marketers don't use the keyword in their ads at all. I put in the words 'training my dog' and only one ad was an exact match. It's true that people search based on what they want to achieve. Training my dog was my goal. Another example would be 'buy tires'. If 'buy tires' were in the title or body of the ad this would add to the quality score.

The space race, Customer Service and monkeys flying rocket ships. 7 strategies for the New Year.
I was thinking this morning about rockets, the “space race” and Customer Service Management. (I dated myself with the “space race”, didn’t I. But it really happened.) I know that the two subjects seem completely unrelated. Not even in the same Encyclopedia volume.And I submit for your consideration that driving a rocket in the space race and good Customer Service Management are exactly the same. Let me explain why.Your business is your rocket ship. In this ship is everything you need to survive when venturing into the hostile environme

Business Ethics and Social Responsibility
Business ethics is a form of applied ethics that examines just rules and principles within a commercial context; the various moral or ethical problems that can arise in a business setting; and any special duties or obligations that apply to persons who are engaged in commerce. Generally speaking, business ethics is a normative discipline, whereby particular ethical standards are advocated and then applied.It makes specific judgments about what is right or wrong, which is to say, it makes claims about what ought to be done or what ought not to b

Casting Off The Chains: Drive Up Productivity Through Team Mobility
For most sales focused organisations – any employee ‘down time’ is dead time and constitutes a direct impact on the profit margin. Many companies are chasing the Elysian dream of reducing this loss and therefore driving up margins through the implementation of ‘remote access technologies’, but they may well be missing the point entirely…In reality, the provision of ‘gadgets’ to field operatives without a unified ‘team’ communication model will not improve, but in fact actually reduce focus and lead to a decrease in staff efficiency.

Corporate Travel Management-Post 9/11
When terrorists shook America and the world with the September 11 attacks of 2001, they didn’t just hit the travel industry hard but also changed the way corporate travel management functioned. Post 9/11, corporate travel management in the U.S. has become as much about security as it is about booking low-priced tickets and hotel rooms. Though the terrorists could not deter business travelers too long despite using airliners to hit prominent targets in New York City and Washington, they certainly prompted corporate travel management firms to rethink st

Google will alternate quality ads and poor ads on the home page in order to satisfy both revenue and users search queries. However, the poor expensive ads are usually getting low conversion therefore draining your account.

Is it any wonder the stock price was north of $500 a share earlier this year?

Business cards are a very popular way of providing your contact information to others. Business cards are used for a variety of reasons including promoting your service or advertising your business to others and are an extremely important tool. In our busy world, it is often inconvenient to write down someone’s information. Being able to simply exchange cards with all that information is very quick and easy. It allows the accurate information to be accessed over and over again.

Introducing yourself to a room of strangers can be a daunting undertaking to a majority of people. Instead of cringing at the thought of your next work gathering, take notes on the following tips to improve your networking skills.

As we all know from the go-go days, deploying a new sales team takes significant investment, especially if the sale cycle is lengthy. When venture investment was pouring in, I saw scores of companies spend months building and investing in a sales infrastructure before a single call was made! Their new sales VP would first start his search for regional managers who would subsequently recruit field reps. And then, after the grand sales kick off, it was 6-9 months before the first sale! This just isn’t practical for most companies, regardless of the economic environment.
