I will be working to increase the volume and quality of these 2nd tier links. If all you do is build links to your website this won’t necessarily be a positive thing in Google’s eyes. For instance, if you build 1,000 good links to y

Kinds Of Digital Marketing

/in , /by

If you want to know more about Boston SEO services then this article will help you to decide what is right for you. Specifically we will be discussing Digital Marketing and Search Engine Marketing. By reading this article you will have a better understanding of what these services can offer you. Digital Marketing offers a multimedia form of getting your message over to potential customers. Some of the methods used for digital marketing are email, RSS feeds, blogging, podcasting, video streams and instant messaging.

Video is becoming one of the most effective methods of digital marketing and this is borne out by the massive popularity of YouTube and sites like it. Creating a video is a relatively simple and cost effective method to get your message across to a large amount of people.

There are various ways to market digitally both paid and free. Correct search engine marketing can get you free organic traffic but this can take time to build up. If you want to test a campaign you can do so by using PPC or pay per click advertising.

PPC means that you only pay when someone clicks on your advert based on the search terms that you specify. The plus side is that you can measure the effectiveness of your campaign very quickly and decide if it is cost effective.

Testing a campaign using PPC enables you see results in real time and allows to modify your advert very quickly. The amount you spend on this campaign is predetermined by you and the return on investment is very quantifiable.

Sending messages by text or SMS is another very efficient and cost effective method, particularly for client retention. Lots of businesses such as Dentists now use this method to remind customers of an appointment or update you on any changes. This is much better than having to type out a letter and send it to the patient.

Search engine marketing is a very cost effective strategy for long term gain. When done professionally it can bring you fantastic results day in and day out. The marketing can be done locally, nationally or globally depending on the type of business that you have.

A company can, for example, help you to market yourself to the local community if you so wish and enable you to capture the market for whatever service you offer. If you then want to go further afield they can help you to extend your business by use of both search engine marketing and digital marketing.

Making a video of your services, product or whatever you want and then posting it to various sites can bring you the type of publicity that would in the past have been prohibitively expensive for you. Unlike a TV advert, your message will not just last a few seconds, but will remain on the internet indefinitely

Plan B 4 Sales and Art of Digital Prominence Alliance Addresses Business Need for LinkedIn and Online Branding Expertise

/in , /by


New York, NY (PRWEB) December 19, 2013

Plan B 4 Sales and Art of Digital Prominence today announced a partnership to deliver LinkedIn training, consulting and online branding services to the SMB marketplace.

“Businesses in transition—whether they’re launching, expanding, spinning off as new entities, or emerging from an acquisition—benefit tremendously when they capitalize on the platform that LinkedIn offers,” said Linda Kempin, Managing Director of Art of Digital Prominence.

LinkedIn can level the playing field for start-ups and resource-constrained businesses. The platform provides unique advantages that showcase and credential expertise, quickly index brand names for search engines, and allows targeted online engagement with “Followers” along with recommendations from customers faster than available on a traditional website…coupled with the dynamic interactions of over 2 ½ million LinkedIn members.

“As much as we are all on social media, more than 90% of us are still hiding our talent in plain sight. That translates” Kempin says,” into missed opportunities, if businesses can’t:

-Be found online for their specific skills and expertise, even when they’re the right resource to address a pain point or solve a problem

-Showcase their company’s talent with a strong online presence that differentiates them from the competition

-Get hired –or even invited to the table—for a new job or by a new client based on their online presence

-Secure needed rounds of funding, because their leadership team’s online presence doesn’t match their business objectives.”

Steve Mount, CEO of Plan B 4 Sales, serves primarily the SMB marketplace for high-tech products and services. “Most companies have a high percentage of employees—and likely some partners as well—who’ve posted dry resume content on LinkedIn. Frequently their current position isn’t even mentioned in their LinkedIn profile—and if it is, it’s skeletal at best. Since they typically don’t express their passions, domain expertise, or the problems they solve in a way that makes them quickly identifiable as an expert within the Linkedin database, they aren’t adding much value to the employer’s organization. In fact, they are more likely hurting the company’s image by having such a weak presence on this Go-To platform for professionals. Linda fixes all of that and designs campaigns to get new revenue opportunities from a client’s current LinkedIn networks. That’s why attention to these areas provides a significant market opportunity. We fully expect this partnership to yield benefits that will enhance the online presence of our clients even in resource-constrained times.

About the Art of Digital Prominence:

Linda Kempin’s roots began in corporate marketing and business development in NY with an American Express company and Ernst & Young. After earning a Masters in Internet Marketing, she launched Boost My WebTraffic.com to support small businesses and educational institutions with a stronger web presence. A fan of the LinkedIn platform since she joined it in 2007, Linda later broadened her consulting practice to include LinkedIn group training and individualized personal branding for C-suite executives. Today her clients include high-tech and professional services firms in launch, expansion, spin-off, or acquisition mode as well as companies pursuing venture capital funding. Linda conducts nationally broadcast webinars and live seminars in addition to consulting services with individuals and small businesses eager to harness the power of LinkedIn.

miiCard Builds on Recent Momentum and Vision for Linking Physical and Digital Identity with myrentalcv Partnership

/in , /by


Edinburgh, Scotland (PRWEB UK) 12 December 2013

Online identity proofing service miiCard today announced that it will help power ID verification for myrentalcv’s tenant screening platform to ensure quick and secure references for agents and landlords. myrentalcv is changing the traditional letting model by bringing together all the essential tenant information thatagents need to quickly and securely make a decision about a tenant’s suitability online. This partnership builds on recent miiCard customer announcements, its selection to new U.S FinTech incubator SixThirty, and the company being named the fastest growing startup in Edinburgh by Mattermark.

“To complete any high value transactions online, it is critical to first make a direct connection between one’s physical identity and digital persona,” said miiCard CEO James Varga. “We are excited about myrentalcv’s approach to changing the rental industry, and we are pleased that our identity proofing solution will help secure an environment so that agents and tenants can confidently connect and rent properties online.”

myrentalcv brings together all the information required to rent a property conveniently and securely in one place. miiCard confirms a tenant’s identity to the same level as an offline ID check, but purely online and in just minutes. Tenants need only set it up once, then they can aggregate information over time to use as a comprehensive and up-to-date means of demonstrating suitability for future rentals. myrentalcv partnered with miiCard to reduce the administrative overhead associated with in-person ID document checks and combat fraud from reliance on data checks, while making it easy for agents to review and approve potential tenants purely online.

“Gathering and supplying tenant information is often a fragmented and disjointed experience that takes too much time and money for letting agents and tenants,” explained Chris Smith, marketing manager of myrentalcv. “With miiCard’s online identity proofing service built-in, myrentalcv is the most trusted screening platform available to agents and property owners today.”

This most recent partnership builds on a number of new miiCard deployments in the financial service industry, including Bitcoin exchanges btcQuick and Bittylicious, home sale solution Allre, bank service ClearAccount, and expense tracking platform Xpenditure. miiCard is also the only European company selected to join new U.S. FinTech incubator SixThirty, founded by Square co-founder Jim McKelvey. Together, these announcements helped miiCard to be named the fastest growing startup in Edinburgh by venture capital research firm Mattermark.

“The desire for trust online and the need for secure online ID verification have helped make this a year of tremendous growth and momentum for miiCard,” continued Varga. “We are honoured that others have recognised our work, and we look forward to continue combating fraud online through our trusted identity solution.”

miiCard’s Level of Assurance 3+ identity verification and authentication service leverages the authority and security inherent in a member’s online financial accounts to prove identity to a passport standard providing a direct, online replacement for in-person photo ID checks with no document uploads or scans required. The miiCard platform offers a wide range of features including identity proofing, personal data, strong multi-factor authentication, financial transaction data and security available through simple API’s and hosted services.

For consumers, miiCard is a global Bring Your Own Identity (BYOID) service providing the convenience, control, ease and flexibility of a single trusted identity that can be used across the web. miiCard is available in ten countries and can verify over 350 million people today.

About myrentalcv

myrentalcv is a web-app that empowers a tenant to obtain, compile and share all the details required to demonstrate suitability for a rental property quickly and efficiently online. With myrentalcv, tenants can build their rental CV in minutes, updating it at the end of each tenancy with ratings from agents, thus providing a more accurate and complete representation of their rental history. For letting agents, property professionals and employers, myrentalcv presents the opportunity to decrease administration and cost for the referencing process and hence increase the speed of tenant check-in from enquiry.

About miiCard

miiCard is a consumer centric global online identity service (IDaaS) platform that establishes true trust online by guaranteeing an individual’s identity to the level of an offline photo ID check, completely online and in just minutes. miiCard helps businesses eliminate fraud, reduce manual processing costs, and prevent high rates of dropout when offline identity checks are required. A member-driven service, based on the principles of Bring Your Own Identity, miiCard empowers consumers to proactively manage their digital identity, build trust online, and trade and transact with confidence. miiCard is available in ten countries and can verify over 350 million people today.
