    Hiring A Public Relationship Firm
    Public relations (PR) agencies represent about half the total public relations budget of most companies. It is important that you hire a public relations firm that understands your financial prudence and has a working knowledge of your business. A public relations firm on same wavelength as your business needs, with independent thought processes, goes a long way in establishing a positive image of your company. The hiring process esse

    So What Do You Think You Are Good At?
    I know that I keep banging on about having your own product, but it really is that important. Think about what the ‘gurus’ have in common, they all have their own product.What’s your day job or hobby? Think about this for a few minutes. You do not need to be an expert in what you do, you just need to know how to do something. I always refer to my Father-in-Law, he is a DIY fanatic. I on the other hand know nothing about it
    Search engine optimization or SEO as it is widely known as to those in the internet marketing business, is the art of making a web site attractive to search engines. The result of having a site that is attractive to search engines is having the web site rank well for a given key word or key phrase.

    In an SEO Contest, the execution of the art becomes slightly skewed. For instance, the first rule of SEO should be to build your site for the people and not for the search engines. However, the contest environment is vastly different. For one thing, SEO Contests are short lived. You are aiming for short term results quickly, the tactics you might use could end up getting you penalized by engines such as Google in the long term but can be beneficial for a contest lasting only a few months.

    One such tactic is keyword stuffing. For instance, in the ambatchdotcom seocontest the top 3 contestants average keyword density is 50% of the title, 3% of the body, 8% in H tags, 15% in links. On the other hand, the top ranking site in Google for the key phrase "SEO Strategy" has 0% in the title, .2% in the body, 0% in H tags and 2.3% in links.

    Pop-up Retailing
    Pop-up retailing has been around for some time now but many retail companies are yet to realize its full potential. First recognized and named by Springwise.com, the concept of pop-up retailing is to introduce a product in a temporary location for a short duration, generate a buzz from its innovative location and limited product line. It essentially makes use of the short life span of the fashion cycle by maximizing the buzz about a

    Start Your Online Business With $0
    I remember back in the 80s when people thought we’d have flying cars and robots that cleaned our houses and walked our dogs by the year 2000. Well, it’s the year 2006 and I don’t see any flying cars, I still clean my own house, and while I don’t have a dog I’m quite confident that my neighbor is human. I highly doubt she’s bought some secret look-a-like android that walks her dog every morning.We do, however, live in a time whe

    Managing Change - Dealing with Underground Resistance
    “I will do anything to stop this project and I expect you to do the same!” The young lady sitting before me in tears, reporting that to me, worked for the IT Director who was in charge of the systems integration for a project we were leading. She didn’t work for me, she worked for him and he reported to me ‘dotted line’ as they say today.We were part of a high tech company and the decision had been made, based on my recommendat

    In an SEO contest, participants are more likely to stick to using only the target keyphrase for their anchor text and they are also more likely to link solely to the main page of the site as well. In the long term, sites with better and more varied backlinks would quickly over take these contest sites in the search engine results.

    Finally, in the backlink equation is relevancy. It's not very difficult in normal circumstances to find a site that is related to your target keyword. If your content is valuable, over time you will obtain organic links, that is, other webmasters will voluntarily link to your site as a resource. You can also trade links with sites sharing your theme and even buy links on related sites. In an SEO contest, finding a related site is difficult because the keyword or key phrase doesn't typically exist therefore relevancy is non existent.

    So in SEO contests it becomes a matter of quantity and quality rather than relevance of the links. Participants in the ambatchdotcom seocontest
