Probably every one of you who has a business and a website have been approached through email or personal contact, and asked to spend money on paid search results (appear on the first page of search results, despite low SEO rank). Thus I recommend that you stick with organic search, and use SEO to raise your ranking. Marty Zwilling.

Not only do our business clients turn to us for lawsuits, but they also ask us to create efficient processes and develop their brands. I can be found on LinkedIn , have a blog Holocognics and my firm’s website is www.SolutionsLLP.com. I am planning right not to write a post about how startups often get SEO wrong. That's great.

Because market is such a broad topic, I’m restricting these lessons to PR marketing (as opposed SEO, SEM, product marketing, etc.). Market to Your Target Audience – I’ve seen a lot of startups who like to write blog posts on life as an entrepreneur. You’re reading their press releases or blog posts.

Here’s how it goes: You have a business development group with two people. So they create a task list of all the marketing activities an organization can do: press releases, web site updates, customer case studies, blog posts, daily Tweets, Facebook fan page, attending conferences, etc. You get a lot of traffic — not always results.

I can attest from experience that publishing a regular blog to properly showcase your brand value, even before you have it, is a most cost effective approach in time and money. For blogging to work, you need to do it consistently and frequently, at least once a week, or the value evaporates. Find potential partners. Populate your team.

By far the most popular post on this blog is 32 Questions Developers May Have Forgot to Ask a Startup Founder. While it’s a messy topic, I’m going to try to lay out some of the additional questions that developers should be asking a Startup Founder around the performance requirements of the application. Is SEO important?

I have to admit when I first walked through the doors of the Los Angeles Convention Center to attend Blog World I asked myself why I was wasting my time. That’s when it occurred to me how foolish I was to be diluting the value of any conference and especially this experience at Blog World. Yet “another networking event”.

Any reader of this blog for a period of time will know that I’ve been long YouTube for years. But if your goal is to develop an audience that can be monetized in other ways, I’ll repeat my argument “you need to fish in the pond where the fish are.” Take for example, an eCommerce company.

This is NOT the same as Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO is not placing ads, but tuning your website so that it is more highly ranked by Google, and featured in the first page of results, not in an ad beside the results. SEM is sometimes called “buying your way into search results.” Tracking and performance reporting.

Instead of writing a book, we wanted to develop a platform to bring our methods to life, and scale our knowledge. It is differentiated from a Squidoo, eHow, blogs, or Google Knol in that it has a greater depth of information, and provides deeper information to the user. But, it didn't seem scalable.
