How much money is spent on SEO each year?
Im looking for a national/world average. I know more and more companies are expected to spend a ton but I would like some sources that tell how much is expected to be spent on SEO. Thanks guys.
Hello Jack,
I was trying to find the article on emarketer.com. It was posted a few months back. However, the article stated that it expects Internet marketers will be spending at least $ 26 million plus on Search Engine Optimization. Social Media Marketing & Email Marketing closely followed.
You can also check out www.seomoz.org they just posted a blog about the future of Internet marketing. They got their info from forrester research. You can go to forrester research and sign up for their newsletter and they will keep you up to date on trends. You can also go to mequoda daily, they are also an online newsletter that provides great information on Interent Marketing trends.
I hope this helps!
Sincerely,

What is the best way to bring traffic to a website appart from SEO?
I have a website that is only very small ( 4 pages ) and there isn’t that much text on each page so I suppose SEO wouldn’t be very effective with this website.
What other alternatives do I have? What is the most effective thing you have ever done to your website?
Ok, time for the truth. Content is not king, no matter what someone tells you. That was a gimic by content writers to sell their services. As long as your pages are targeted and some good onpage is completed, quality links will get you top positions in the major search engines.
I have always said that "king content" has no kingdom online without a throne of links.
I have argued with the so called "guru’s" over the years and called out many. Let’s compare traffic and bank accounts of the "king content" crowd against my throne of links and we can settle this dispute once and for all. I have never had a taker, not one! because it is lies and deceptions.
You have 2 options for traffic that will convert, that is SEO or PPC. The reason for this is because it makes YOU the target, not the other way around.
Would you rather be looking for money, or money looking for you?
When you do banners, social and other marketing, you are looking for money in the general population of the internet. With PPC and seo, you are in the right place at the right time every time, so they are looking for you "by keyword search".
When you place an ad on the radio, you are betting that a small precentage of people are interested in what you have to say or offer. This is mass marketing and has a very low return on investment. This is the same as "other" marketing plans online, like banners , social and all of the other crap these other people are telling you to do.
Now, PPC and seo are like having the first ad in the yellowpages for what you offer, and that is HUGE because they are hunting you.
So when you have an active potential customer that is directly interested, your conversion rates will go through the roof.
I would rather have 200 keyword specific visitors thn 2 million non keyword visitors.
Your title is the most important onpage factor for seo, and you can have limited content and gaine some great traffic that will convert. So don’t buy the lies.

Seo In Gook – Calling You MV (english sub)
Winner of SuperStar K ( krn version of american idol)
I’m quite disappointed actually. I mean he is a good singer and a talented person. And granted, singing ability isn’t the only requirement to be a superstar but… it was a contest out of 700,000.
And his genre is ballad. He is talented, but I expected WHOLE lot more of vocal ability if he was chosen out of 700,000. You can’t be superstar as a ballad singer with that level of singing ability.
Only people who even came close to being a “superstar” as vocal sensation is Yim Jae bum, Insoone then Kim Jo Han. Way before all these idol band popping out every other week. Anybody recently known for their vocal talent is Park Hyo Shin and Wheesung. And after them is prolly…tei, sung shi kyung, k. Will. and others.(my opinion)
I personally think Seo In Gook is not in the same league as any of them as a vocalist.
who knows, maybe his 2nd album might bring out more vocal talent.

Write Google AdWord Ads that Get Results
Have you been searching for a way to improve your AdWords ad copy? If so, then what we have for you today are three proven tips to increase your PPC ad conversions.
Writing an AdWords ad is all about reaching out to your target market in the most specific manner. You will experience disappointing results if your ads use general language written in a general way. You should never talk in general terms in an ad because the ad needs to focus on one item, only. It is when people who are searching see your ad, and they immediately know what it’s all about. The meaning in your ad directly relates to what ever it is you’re selling. After you perform solid keyword research, you must arrange them logically into ad groups which are related groups. Google will let you know if your ad groups are not quite right because you’ll see it in your quality score. Doing so will help your qualtiy score, and that is first hurdle you have to overcome with any campaign.
A call to action is an integral part of all good copy, and that includes PPC ad copy. When in doubt, test; and that is what you should do with your ads because some marketers respond differently than others. It just makes logical sense to have one since people that will be seeing your ad won’t know what they need to do once they click on the ad. Your ad will become more tight and focused with a call to action. Again, it really depends on your particular market, so test different kinds of call to action statements. You will just be providing clear directions for the reader, and most of them will appreciate that even if they don’t know it.
AdWords ads can be made much more powerful with the use of story. We’ll explain how you do this because we know you’re scratching your head. You’ll be simply saying something that grabs their hearts and causes them to have sympathy or empathy. This will help you connect with them on a higher level and let you achieve what you want. There are many other things you can do to boost your AdWords ads conversion rates.
