Obviously there hasn't been a post in a week on the Daily Marketing Blog. I apologize for that, but my company has launched a whole new series of websites that you should check out.

First, the new corporate site:

http://www.redstage.com

Next, another property to display our website services & solutions.

http://www.redstagesolutions.com

A new and improved Laris Software website.

http://www.larisonline.com

And finally, the creative services website (coming soon!)

http://www.redstagecreative.com

Now that these are almost all done, the blog will be back in action starting next week.

Oh, and if you are looking for a job and you can design or program, please send emails to resumes at redstage.com.

Thanks!

It's been a few busy days off from the blog, but I couldn't let this tool pass by. Google has a few decent keyword tools out there now, but this one is very, very cool.
http://www.google.com/sktool/

The tool goes through your website and suggests keyword terms. The results show the following:

Keyword Suggestions
Monthly Searches
Competition Estimate
Suggested Adwords Bid (wow!!)
Ad/Search Share
What page they Got the keyword from (extracted from Webpage)

This is incredible. A few weeks ago I wrote about GTrends from Wordtracker. Well, this blows it out of the water.

Also, the tool is integrated with Google Search Insights which shows a trend of search terms.

You can access that tool from here:

http://www.google.com/insights/search

The implications of this tool are amazing, and overwhelming. Check it out!

Thanks,

For a split second, I though I would have made it. But with 45 posts, it's hard to compete with these guys. Check out this list:

There's a TON of excellent sources of information there. It's an extremely useful tool to find new things to read all the time.

Check it out, its worth it! Maybe in a year the Daily Marketing Blog will make it on the list...

Thanks,

Michel Fortin posted a long, in depth process about copywriting on his blog. This is great stuff! If you haven't heard it everywhere already, writing good copy is one of the most important and under appreciated skills. It's absolutely crucial to have great copy in order to communicate the benefits of your products, present testimonials, etc... and most of all - make sales!

It's a skill that you can read dozens of books and tutorials on, but this new one by Fortin is one of the most comprehensive free processes I've seen.

Take a look at this great info!

Thanks!

Wordtracker is developing a great tool that shows you the top searched for Questions for your search term. Here's a link:

http://labs.wordtracker.com/keyword-questions

This is an excellent way to come up with ideas about content for your site. If people in your niche are searching heavily for particular questions, and you have the answers, it builds trust, reciprocity, and conversion.

The uses for SEO are incredible! You can take a look at the exact concerns within your community and create highly optimized, long-tail landing pages to bring in extremely targeted traffic to your site.

Here's a short procedure to get the most out of this tool:

1. Search for your keyword and get 10 keywords with decent traffic numbers.
2. Create an FAQ type page, with links to the 10 articles/answers to the questions you just found. Make sure that the anchor text of the links to the 10 answer pages are the exact question.
3. Write up each answer page. Make sure that the title tag of each page is the exact question and you have the question in an H1 tag on the page (basic on page SEO).

Of course there are more optimizations to do, but that's the basic overview. Keep building your FAQ and you can get a ton of great traffic to your site.

If there isn't a ton of competition for the top results for the questions in your niche, you could possibly rank #1 very quickly.

Thanks,
