admin    Google     Higher, OnPage, Page, Rank, Strategies

On-page Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is quite necessary in order to rank specific web page/web pages higher in the major search engines, like Yahoo and Google. By employing on-page SEO strategies, you can maximize the performance of a webpage in the search engine results; that is, you can make it rank higher. Here’s a checklist of on-page SEO strategies that will make it easy for you to verify whether or not you’ve taken the right steps to optimize the web pages of your website.

Checklist of on-page SEO strategies

There are some basic strategies to optimize a webpage. The strategies are discussed below.

Website content

The website content plays a vital role in on-page search engine optimization. Therefore, you should upload high quality content in the web pages of your website. Apart from making it rank higher, quality content also attracts visitors to your website. You should also try to upload new content as the spiders get attracted by it. Once a website is indexed by a search engine, it revisits only when something new is uploaded in the website.

Right keywords

Choosing right keywords is one of the best off-page and on-page SEO strategies you can employ to get your target results. The chosen keywords should also be used rightly in the webpages.

Keyword density

The density per keyword should not exceed 4-6%. The search engines can penalize a website if the keyword density is more than 6% in a web page. Apart from SEO considerations, the visitors also favor low keyword density as keyword stuffed web pages make it difficult to read the content.

Link quality

One of the most important on-page SEO strategies is to link the web pages within a website. Make sure that you link relevant pages on the basis of a common theme or related content. Internal links to irrelevant web pages don’t help to achieve high rankings.

Descriptions and titles

The web pages should have a brief and informative description and you can keep the keywords in the title tag for better search engine optimization. Along with this, the Meta Tags should also be used appropriately.

Apart from above, one of an important point in the checklist of on-page SEO strategies is that you should try to rank individual web pages rather than the whole website. In order to do this, select certain web pages and try to make it rank in the search engines. However, your homepage should top the priority list for SEO optimization.

Do You Want The Top Google Rankings For Networking Business? Learn The Top 5 Internet Marketing Strategies

admin    Facebook     business, Google, internet, Learn, Marketing, Networking, Rankings, Strategies, Want

We didn’t have the internet years ago. Network Marketers used the dreaded friends and family list. After exhausting our warm market, we had no choice but to purchase advertising materials like postcards, mailing lists, and classified ads. I spent over $10,000 on advertising. Not everyone could afford doing that With a click of a mouse you can connect with thousands of people. The internet has changed our behavior on how we access information and advertise.

After careful research and due diligence, I was able to learn internet marketing strategies that allowed me to generate my own leads online for little or no money.

What I’m going to reveal to you is the top 5 marketing strategies that has really propelled momentum in my business. Don’t be fooled, there is a learning curve to these strategies. Don’t expect receiving thousand of leads overnight. However, after applying these strategies on a consistent basis, I have generated a consistent lead flow of hungry prospects that are ready and willing to join my business.

The search engines and social networking sites are effective ways to reach huge amount of people. Go to Alexa.com to learn the top internet traffic sites.

1. The fastest way to reach potential prospects is Google and Yahoo Pay-Per-Click. You will find Pay-Per-Click Ads listed on the right-hand side of Google searches. Pay-Per-Click can range anywhere from $0.05 to $10.00 per click. The cost depends on the competition for the keywords you want to target. A personal friend of mine generates 90 to 100 leads a day using Pay-Per-Click. Unless you can cover your costs, I wouldn’t spend more than an average of $0.30 per click. You can really lose your shirt fast if you do not know what your doing.

2. Twitter, Facebook, Linkin, and Myspace has really helped people all over the world build relationships and make friends. What I like about Facebook in that you can enter someone’s email to see if this person is listed. I use Facebook to connect with my Google Pay-Per-Click leads. How cool is that? All these social networking sites are free. Become a member with one or two of these sites is easy. You need to take advantage of them.

3. Article Marketing is my recent adventure into online marketing. Article marketing will allow you to reach the top of search engines. What I really like about article marketing is that it’s free and you articles stay on the internet forever. I’m still getting leads from old published articles.

4. Have you heard of Youtube? Video marketing has really taken over the internet now that we can upload large amounts of data in a short period of time. I remember when I had dial-up internet access. Talk about a slow crawling dinosaur! It would take my computer forever to upload pictures. Video marketing will really help your article standout. People like to information that they can read and watch. A perfect marketing marriage!

5. After your prospects find your articles, videos, and Pay-Per-Click ads, they will want to find out who you are. Remember, people join network marketing companies based on who sponsors them. Blogging is the best form of You Marketing. Let people find you. You really can load a person up with information using a blog. For the cost of a cup of coffee, you can have a Wordpress blog up today.

If money is an issue, start with the free stuff like social networking sites, videos, etc. The fastest way to gain internet exposure is to use all five strategies. Focus on the free sites while learning Pay-Per-Click.
Find you niche! Some people love blogging while other like article marketing. Use your niche to your marketing advantage.

One last thought about internet marketing etiquette: please use judgment, common sense, and above all, be honest. Here’s a hint: would you want your mother to see or read what you posted? Also do not trick people into clicking onto site by advertising something else. This form of advertising is unethical and should never be practiced. Job posting are a perfect example. People on the Job Posting sites are looking for a job; not your network marketing business.

These 5 marketing strategies will really create the exposure you need to set yourself up for network marketing success. I wish you the best on your internet marketing endeavors.

Secrets of Affiliate Marketing Strategies

admin    mySpace     Affiliate, Marketing, Secrets, Strategies

Knowing where to look to integrate your marketing with your partners is the first half of the equation. Knowing how to attract partners is the second. And attracting the right partners involves five steps.

First, you need to educate your competitors to get them working with you. For more details go to www.myspace-marketing-secret.com When you show them how integration marketing is really about providing maximum value to the customer, you won’t have competitors anymore. You’ll have partners.

Second, you must be able to provide accurate metrics to show the profit potential of the relationship. In other words, know your conversion rate. Being able to tell your potential partner that your back end offer converts at a rate of 5, 10 or 15 percent is much more likely to convince him to do business with you than if you approach him with generalities such as “lots of people will probably respond to this offer.”

Don’t, however, inflate your numbers to convince someone to work with you. If you tell him that 10 people out of every 100 respond to your offer, he’s going to expect that 10% conversion rate. Then if only 5% convert, he’s not going to trust you, and your JV relationship will be finished. On the other hand, if you promise a 5% rate and it turns out to be 10%, he’s going to be thrilled. So the rule is this: under promise and over deliver.

If you don’t know what your metrics are because you’ve never offered a back end product before or because you’ve never integrated your marketing with anyone else, be honest. Tell him you can’t guarantee specific numbers until you test. If you’ve educated him properly in step one, he should be able to see the potential for profit, so propose running an integration marketing test together. Then you’ll have accurate metrics to show future partners.

Third, provide higher affiliate commissions than normal. Most affiliate programs only pay high commissions on the front end. Commissions on back end products are typically much smaller or nonexistent. For more details go to www.scroll-pops but if you offer a 50% payout on a $1,000 product, that alone could be incentive enough for your competition to do business with you.

Fourth, make it extremely easy. If the process is complicated or they have to expend a lot of time and energy to get things set up properly, they won’t want to integrate with you. Sign them up for your program. Write all the copy. Provide all the links. They shouldn’t have to do anything more than “copy and paste” your messages into their system.

Google AdWords Strategy – Part 3: Other Google AdWords Strategies

admin    Google     Adwords, Google, Part, Strategies, Strategy

3. Other Google AdWords Strategies

     Google AdWords Ad Positioning

    Although the profit margin on the product or service offered is a large factor, tests have proved that the first ad position on the first page is, generally, not the most profitable. Yes, it gets the most clicks, but it’s often a spontaneous action by the surfer before studying the ad. Sometimes the surfer is merely browsing the subject and is not ready to buy (commonly known as “tyre-kickers”).

    Tests show that the further down the page an ad is, or, occasionally, even on the second page, the greater is its conversion rate. The surfer has taken the time to read the ad carefully because he is ready to buy. Furthermore, the clicks are fewer; so, your overall pay-per-click bill is less than for a higher-positioned ad. The downside is that the click-through rate (CTR) of the lower-positioned ads is lower, which affects your Quality Score adversely and raises your cost per click.

    A happy medium is to aim for positions 4 to 6 on Google’s first page. (You can use the “Show Estimated Ad Position” and “Estimated Avg CPC” columns in the on-line Google AdWords Keyword Tool to determine the cost-per-click to bid for each of of your exact match keyword phrases, and then you can set those bids accordingly. These figures can, however, be notoriously inaccurate. Always check your keyword phrases’ positions afterwards in the ‘Avg Pos’ column on the Ad Group’s ‘Keywords’ index tab or by testing with a search on the main keyword phrases.)

    “Google Search” ads, “Content Network” ads, “Search Network”/”Search Partners” ads, “Placement” ads

    You can specify different maximum bid amounts for these various types of advertising. Because the quality of their traffic tends to be lower, bids for the Content Network (“entire network” option) and Search Network (Search Partners) (see Tactics > Search Network) should be kept lower and be more tightly controlled than those for Google Search traffic and the Content Network (“Placement ads” option). In the early stages of a new Google AdWords campaign, it is advisable to go with only Google Search traffic and switch other options off, to help you to control costs. Once you’ve discovered the keywords that produce the highest return on investment (ROI), you can enable other options for those keywords to see what results they produce.

    If you find that a Google Search traffic campaign is too competitive, don’t just abandon Google AdWords altogether; try a Content Network Placement ad (see Tactics > Placement Ads), bidding either CPC or CPM (q.v.).

    Testing and Tracking

    Ad Variations

    Despite what you may think of your copywriting prowess, you will not write the perfect ad at the first attempt. You may need ten attempts before you find the best formula. Although you may hazard a reasonable guess at the advertisement text that would attract visitors, the ONLY way to KNOW what ad text achieves the highest click-through rate (CTR) is split-test two ads simultaneously.

    Although changing just a single word can make a difference, do not split-test two ads that resemble each other that closely; Split-test two radically different ads. (Switch off Google’s option to show the better-performing ad more often than the other, as that would distort the test results.) After between 20 and 50 clicks it should become apparent which of the two ads is out-performing the other. Then replace the inferior ad with another and split-test again. Repeat this process again and again, each time reducing the textual differences between the two ads until you arrive at the one that performs best of all.

    To track the click-through rate (CTR) of your ads, go to your Google AdWords campaign web page, click on the Campaign name; click on the Ad Group name; click the ‘Ad Variations’ index tab; check the ‘CTR’ column.

    Always keep all the Ad Variations that you create, to check that you don’t repeat any inadvertently.

    Landing Pages

    Split-test your landing pages in a similar way, to discover which style, layout, text, call to action, etc. achieves the highest conversion rate. To track the conversion rates of your web pages for various keywords, go to your Google AdWords campaign web page and click on the ‘Conversion Tracking’ item on the ‘Campaign Management’ index tab.

    Always save all the landing pages that you create, to check that you don’t repeat any inadvertently.

    Keywords

    After a new campaign has been running for about a month, check the click-through rate (CTR) of all the keyword phrases in each Ad Group on its ‘Keywords’ index tab. Click the ‘CTR’ column header to sort the keyword phrases, mark the checkbox of all keyword phrases with a CTR of less than 0.5% and either ‘Pause’ or ‘Delete’ them. (If you have many keywords, it’d probably be quicker to do this in your specialist AdWords software tool and upload the keyword list to your Google AdWords campaign again.)

    0.5% is considered the benchmark of a poorly performing keyword. Such keywords cause your ad to be displayed but, for some reason, the people using the keyword in their search terms don’t connect it mentally with your ad, and don’t click on it. If several keywords have a low click-through rate (CTR), the overall click-through rate (CTR) of your whole Ad Group is reduced and its Quality Score will be affected adversely. Eventually, this Ad Group’s lower Quality Score will also affect the Quality Score of your entire Google AdWords campaign.

    This check should be performed weekly thereafter.

    If you really want to use those poorly performing keywords, remove them from the Ad Group and create a new Ad Group for them, or even a new campaign, so that they don’t affect your overall Quality Score.

    The Bottom Line

    Great importance is attached to the click-through rate (CTR), but, to put it in perspective, it is only a means to an end. A high click-through rate (CTR) does not make you a millionaire in itself; It’s revenue that counts. Your revenue is determined by the successful interaction between keywords, Ad Variation and landing page, all three working in harmony together.

    Maximum CPC Bid

    Don’t be afraid to bid higher than necessary for keywords in a new Google AdWords campaign during the first few days. This will establish your campaign with Google and, as your click-through rate (CTR) rises, your maximum CPC bid amount to achieve the same ad position will fall dramatically. Then you lower your bids and check again the next day. Repeat this process until your bids are minimized. You do this for all the keyword phrases in the Ad Group. If there are too many keywords to deal with manually, invest in specialist software to calculate the bids for you.

      CPC or CPM?

     Google ‘Content Network’ advertising (see Tactics > Content Network) gives you the option to specify your keywords’ maximum bids as cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-thousand-impressions (CPM) (“M” is the Roman numeral for 1,000, “mille” in Latin). CPM can be useful if the Quality Score is low or the cost per click (CPC) is high. If you opt to pay for impressions rather than for clicks, Google couldn’t care less about Quality Score or click-through rate (CTR) or even relevance; You simply pay each time your ad appears. Of course, it’s still in your interest to ensure that you follow the advice about relevance already given.

    It’s your responsibility to track the performance of your CPM ads, because Google doesn’t do it for you. Obviously, you won’t want to keep paying for ads that don’t convert. Moreover, you’ll still have to bid high enough to get your ad to be displayed in the desired position within an ad unit on an AdSense publisher’s web page, or even at all, and that cost could be quite high on a good-quality, popular web site that you choose for a ‘Placement’ ad (see Tactics > Placement Ads).

     Keywords

    Unless you have a six-figure annual budget and would be happy with a mere 10% return on investment (ROI), don’t bother bidding for popular 1-word keywords, such as “mortgage”. The competition for most single-word keywords is fierce, unless the niche is very esoteric. Moreover, searches on single words are made most frequently by people who are simply not ready to spend their money; they are merely investigating the market, gathering information; in other words, they are “tyre-kickers”. 1-word keywords would probably bankrupt you very quickly.

    2-word keywords are a better bet, but they can still command a high cost per click in competitive markets, surfers who search on them may still not be ready to buy, although they’re getting there.

    Keyword phrases of three words and up are known as “long-tail” keywords. (Note that the word “keyword” in pay-per-click advertising can mean a phrase of more than one actual word, e.g., “New York”. A “keyword phrase” consists of more than one “keyword”.)

    3-word keyword phrases have the highest conversion rate, according to tests. People who type three words as a search term have usually done their investigations, know exactly what they want, and are now ready to buy.

    4-word keyword phrases fare slightly less well, perhaps because the searcher may indeed be ready to buy, but is comparing prices for a very specific item, or is doing some academic research.

    Don’t understimate the power of negative keywords! If you sell tulips, you don’t want your ad to appear when someone searches on the term “grow tulips”. Although they may not click on your ad, it’d be an unnecessary impression, and its click-through rate (CTR) would suffer. Specify “grow” as a negative keyword. (Of course, if your Ad Group contains only exact match keyword phrases, there’s no point in specifying negative keywords.)

     Landing Page

    Relevance is covered above, and is by far the most important attribute of a landing page. Here is some advice about other ways to encourage Google to enhance your Ad Group’s Quality Score.

    Google values “real” web sites more highly than mere single-page “mini-sites”. The robot checks for links to other web pages, particularly a ’site map’ page and ‘privacy policy’ and ‘contact us’ pages. A ‘terms of use’ and an ‘about us’ page may also help. Hyphenate these page names as the file names, e.g., ‘privacy-policy.html’. Place the links to these pages at the very bottom of your landing page, in the footer, using as small a font as a human would consider reasonable. You want to reduce the risk as much as possible that your visitor will click away from your landing page.

    Minimize the landing page’s load time. It is believed that Google uses this as an element in its Quality Score algorithm. Keep images and JavaScript to a minimum. They weigh the page down. (Google cannot follow JavaScript links anyway.)

     How to Attract Visitors

    What makes a person click on your ad instead of someone else’s? The answer is the same as to the question why a person clicks the ‘Buy’ button on your sales page: good copywriting. That’s a separate subject, but, suffice it to say here that your ad must be not only relevant, but also compelling. Imagine that you are the searcher, looking to buy a product or service like yours. Look at other ads offering something similar. What attracts you to one and not another? Ask your friends and colleagues what they think.

    You have only a 25-character headline and two description lines of 35 characters each. Don’t squander them on waffling about your company. The consumer couldn’t care less about you or your company. The consumer has a problem to be solved, a need to be satisfied, a desire to be fulfilled. So, mention the problem, the need, the desire. And, most important, tell the consumer that the solution, what he needs, what he wants is only a click away. Tell him to “Get Help Now” or to “Find It Here”. That’s the ‘call to action’.

These Simple Strategies Will Boost Your Vancouver Business And Your Google Page Rank

admin    Google     Boost, business, Google, Page, Rank, Simple, Strategies, These, Vancouver

If you have not got a high Google page rank then it’s not a good piece of news for your Vancouver business. For if you are not there in the first 10 search results from Google, or at least in the first couple of pages of Google search results, then your site is practically non-existent. Since the amount of traffic that you will be getting will be far too low to be of any use. On the contrary, a good rank in Google for your selected keywords will generate a lot of page visits from targeted users for whom your site will be seen as a valued resource.

So, what are the things that you should do in order to ensure a much improved search engine ranking and a good Google Page Rank? Well, there are several things that you can do, though it won’t be a bad thing to start off with back linking.

Back links are the links that point back to your site from other sites and the more back links you can manage to your site, the better your page rank will be and the higher your site will be in search engine rankings. A good way of achieving this is by joining forums so as to get links to your site and its best to join forums that are most relevant to your site since Google makes sure that you are getting targeted links back to your site. This is an excellent way of advertising your site and to build up an Internet presence all by yourself.

You can also try Vancouver online advertising which is a great way of letting others know of your business through the World Wide Web.

Submitting your site to search engine directories is another good way of ensuring a higher page rank since this acts to record your site on other search engines, thereby enhancing your online presence. This also provides you with free back links to your site. And as has already been stated, more back links will let you achieve a higher page rank.

Vancouver Internet marketing can also prove to be highly effective in promoting your business since effective and intelligent marketing can often turn out to be the key factor to succeed in the highly competitive business environment of Vancouver.

Another way of further extending your online presence is by making an Ezine for an Ezine ensures you a steady flow of traffic to your site. In fact, an Ezine actually impels visitors to be on your site on a regular basis. As an added advantage, using an Ezine allows you to submit the information about your Emagazine to an Ezine catalog.

So these are the things you can do that will ensure you good Google page rank. However, the thing that any good webmaster will always advise is that for a site to have a consistent high page ranking and a steady flow of traffic at all times, you’ll have to refresh your site on a continuous basis so that Google views your site as one that is active and thoroughly relevant. And if you think all of this will be too much for you to handle on your own, turn to Arbutus Media for they have the necessary expertise and wherewithal to make a success of your website.

Search Engine Optimization Strategies: Related Keywords

If you are trying to get more traffic and improve your search engine rankings, learn a bit about LSI to enhance your SEO strategy. Here’s some helpful information to help you understand why taking time to sprinkle latent semantic indexing into your web content and article marketing efforts will be helpful to you.

Google Search Indexing

Not all search engines work the same but more often than not, the search engines continually tweak their algorithms. They do this as they discover more ways to do a better job at helping surfers find what they’re looking for and they make adjustments regularly to stop others from ‘gaming’ the system and gaining a significant advantage over other websites. If you’re anxious to learn all you can about improving the results of seo spiders that index your website, you need to identify what they’re looking at and ensure that they find what they want on each web page on your site, pointing to your site, and find what they like on the sites that your website points to. You can’t control all these factors all the time but there are things you can do to positively impact the results. LSI is something you should consider.

What is LSI?

Adding latent semantic indexing to your SEO strategy is a good idea and chances are, it’ll never expire in terms of being a key component of getting well indexed for your niche. The gist of latent semantic indexing is that search engine spiders look at your niche and also look at all the content on your pages to see how closely they relate to your main keywords. So if you’re selling computers, the spider will crawl your pages to look for other words related to computers such as: hardware, software, peripherals, etcetera. A lot of SEO specialists now create long keywords lists above and beyond the main keywords they want to rank for and try to weave as many terms into their content as possible.

Be sure, when you’re writing for latent semantic indexing, that you don’t overdo it. If you’re trying to get 20 keywords in above and beyond your main keyword, be sure the article is long. You don’t want a 10% keyword density otherwise all your efforts will be for naught as the search engines will think your site is ’spam’.

Spend some time learning about various aspects of SEO when you build your pages and spend time researching and writing great content. When researching, look at many online tools that help you find great keywords. There are tools based on popular keywords and you’ll also find keyword analysis tools that help you reach a healthy density as well. Beyond that, you can use Google’s tilde operator which will help you identify laterally related words. To use it, type a ~ before your keyword and for the first several search engine results pages you’ll see bold words. Those words are words Google considers to be highly relevant to the main keyword.

There is no one magical success formula that fits all websites and all niches but the more that you do to learn about search engine optimization and effective search engine marketing strategies, the better your chances for success.

Search Engine Marketing | Social Networking that Works–The Best Marketing Strategies. By Mike McCoy

admin    Twitter     Best, Engine, Marketing, McCoy, Mike, Networking, Search, Social, Strategies, WorksThe

Social networking is a great way to keep in touch with friends and co-workers, but it’s also a great way to expand marketing strategies into new arenas. The major networking sites have huge followings with tens of millions of visitors a day. Sites like Facebook also have the added benefit of keeping members on the site for long periods of time. This can be important when trying to interest other members in products or websites. Using social networking sites requires a lot of communication to other members, as well as a profile that intrigues people enough to make them want to befriend you. MySpace and Facebook both allow members to acquire thousands of friends, and that can be a powerful way to get a marketing message out to a large number of people quickly. Twitter Marketing Another networking site that is used frequently in marketing strategies is Twitter. This site can be used as both a mini-blog as well as a communication method. Twitter members send out messages and acquire followers who receive each message sent by the member. Sending out tweets, as the messages are called, can get a marketing message sent instantaneously to everyone that is a follower. Successful Twitter marketers use the site to send out funny, intriguing or informative messages to gain a following. Mixed into those tweets are ones that fit into the member’s marketing strategy. They can be sale announcements or information about what a website can do for them. Backlinks Having a business presence on social networking sites is also a good way to get additional links. Any backlinks are useful for website marketing because they help the website’s page rank. The links also make the site more accessible to people who might not have heard about the site before. The key to marketing strategies on social networking sites is to make the profiles informative about the site that is being marketed, but to refrain from spamming other members. Reaching out to the members of the networking site is important, but sending out frequent messages that are all dedicated to marketing can be viewed as spam. Special Deals through Social Networks One of the most successful things to make network marketing strategies a success is to offer something new on the sites. Many companies offer special deals to their Facebook friends or send out secret coupon codes through Twitter. This method of network marketing encourages other members to become followers in order to get what they can’t get elsewhere.

It’s easy to create a video, but it is much harder to make a Facebook video marketing campaign that will stand out from the crowd and actually help to sell your products or services. And this is one of the biggest problems – marketers simply do not know how to make effective videos!

I decided it was time to overcome these common problems so in this article I am going to discuss 3 Facebook Video Marketing strategies that you can employ to help ensure that you get the maximum number of viewers and the very best exposure for your promotions.

Facebook Is A Social Site – Use This To Your Advantage!

Facebook is probably one of the largest, if not THE largest social network site out there right now, so make sure that you take advantage of this fact in your Facebook video marketing. This is a great opportunity for you to actually connect directly with your viewers through your videos. For example, you could create a series of tutorial or ‘how to’ videos as part of your marketing campaign and then allow your viewers to leave comments on your videos. They could say anything from praising you for making a high quality video, to asking questions about your products or services, leaving general feedback, or even picking up a point you made in your video and turning it into a discussion.

If you can build a meaningful, informative and relevant discussion around your video on Facebook then you will find yourself getting more and more viewers as people watch your video and join in the discussion. One of the video problems that marketers face on Facebook are viewers who feel isolated by information that only flows in one way: from the presenter to the viewer. But by using your video marketing skills to create a discussion, you are enabling your viewers to connect with your message, and to actually respond to your marketing message as well.

Use All Of The Facebook Video Upload Features!

One of the great things about the Facebook video upload feature is that it enables you to enter a lot of information about your video. However, a major problem that really annoys me is when a marketer simply calls their video ‘Video 1′ or some other meaningless title. You need to make sure that you have an engaging title that makes people want to watch and share your video. Of course, your title should also be relevant to the actual content of your video – so while it is a good idea to try and include keywords in your titles, make sure that they are relevant.

Another common problem in many Facebook videos is the lack of a decent description. By taking the time to write an accurate description of your Facebook video you are helping people to decide whether they really want to spend the time to watch your video. You can also include your website address in the description so even if someone decides not to watch your video, they will still see your URL and, maybe, visit your web site.

Another mistake many marketers make in Facebook videos is not using tagging. Facebook video is fantastic because it allows you to ‘tag’ the people in your video (including yourself). This can work to your advantage because it allows you to let people know who is featured in the video and this is great if you’ve conducted an interview with a well known personality or expert within your specific niche.

Entice Your Audience With Teasers!

The final Facebook video problem that I see on a daily basis are marketers who are trying to directly sell their products or services through Facebook without really enticing their viewers to make that purchase. So, if you sell a report that reveals the top 10 secrets to business success, you may decide to upload a video on Facebook that actually tells viewers about the first of these secrets. This is designed to do two things:

Firstly, it helps your viewers to actually build a feeling of trust towards you. They will appreciate the fact that you are willing to give away top quality information free of charge.

Secondly, you will ‘tease’ your viewers and get them interested in your report. By eplaining or giving away the first secret of business success for free you will make your viewers want to discover the remaining 9 secrets. And of course, they can only do this by visiting your website and purchasing your report. Include a call to action at the end of your Facebook video to entice people to make a purchase and make sure your website address is clearly displayed.

So there we have it, 3 strategies that will help you overcome the most common video marketing problems and help you to promote yourself though Facebook. These marketing strategies may sound simple but you would be amazed by the number of people who seem to overlook them. By taking a little extra time and effort you can really make your video marketing stand out from the other promotional videos on Facebook, allowing you to maximize your viewers and achieve the best possible exposure your promotion.
