How Would You Market A Photo Of Jay-Z Wearing Your Client's Apparel?
-
If Jay-Z was spotted wearing your client's sweatshirt, how would you maximize the marketing potential of this photo and opportunity to sell more sweatshirts?
-
If it does, or if it depicts something obvious, I'd certainly be getting that pointed to from any of the niche related forums out there. In whatever comments being made it would be nice if some unique terminology could be seeded regarding the description of the shirt he's wearing or regarding other aspects of the photo and include that unique word or phrase in the description of the garment on the client's site. That way, if someone does a search that includes that seeded word, it would help your client's site show up in the results for that search.
-
So do it surreptitiously and/or creatively. A paparazzi snapping a photo and then selling it to magazines or a widely available photo online is likely too wide spread for someone to have it easily removed. If you happen to reach out to a Celebrity Blogger and they mention "Looks like Jay-Z is out on the town looking good in what appears to be a {Insert clothing company} brand sweatshirt." Do you think they're going to stop the publicity? Even a facebook share of "Hey, is Jay-Z wearing one of our shirts?" without any link to your product page, just asking people what they think about it, could work. Now if you blatantly plastered photos with links saying "OMG Buy Our Sweatshirt Cause Jay-Z is wearing it!!!" then he'd probably have his people file something asking you to take it down.
-
I think you're asking for trouble with Mr Z's lawyers on that one.
If they catch you using him/his image in your advertising without expressed written consent (wearing apparel doesn't cover that), you'd be entering a world of pain.
-
Easy first step without even thinking... Blog post and/or outreach to well-known bloggers who specialize in star/celebrity news & gossip. Also shares of images & links to the related blog posts on every social media outlet we have an account/page on.

We've a client that wants to repurpose some of the content on there site but not lose rankings. However its changing the content to an alternative to ....
The Current URL Example would be test.co.uk/prodcut-catogory/product-1 . This side of the business is being sold however they have products elsewhere in the range that can be used as alternatives to the product range that will be moved, so they want to amend these pages with an " alternative " slant. Example idea would be to change to the following : test.co.uk/prodcut-catogory/alternative-to-product-1, trying not to change the URL to much, keeping the majority of the content the same but adding new copy stating the benefits of using the alternative product. So it becomes a comparison between the two. I appreciate I will have to amend the URLs, titles, meta, H1s, add new copy & preform a 301's. Option 2 Simply write a second page which is all brand new content talking about it being an alternative to the products and doing a 301 from the original page but not amending that. Be great to get peoples feedback on this approach and if there is anything else that I could do to minimise the drop in rankings once I complete the changes. Thank you D

Following on LinkedIn & Liking on Facebook, Will it Facilitate Advertising to a Specific Target Market?
My commercial real estate brokerage ie firm is targeting very specific lists of businesses. We send them emails regarding specific properties. For instance email to partners in law firms with 1-10 employees in the 10017 zip code. Response from email has been maybe a decent customer for every 1,500 emails. But it is inexpensive. We would like to try to reinforce and enhance the results by perhaps using social media tools such as LinkedIn and Facebook. Would it help us eventually advertise to our very specific segments if we Facebook like the individuals we are targeting? We would like both the individuals and the company pages. Any utility to this? We would also follow the individuals on LinkedIn. In a perfect world we could advertise posts of below market, especially desirable properties to our target market; the same people we are emailing to on a regular basis. We are generating the emails through a CRM called "ZOHO" which we find very useful. Is it worthwhile to add a social media element to our marketing effort? While the email has been very inexpensive and shows signs or being effective, the amount of effort to compile the lists and set up ZOHO was monumental. Looking forward to feedback, thanks everyone!!!

Meta Descriptions - Does Cutt's comment still hold true?
When looking through my old research on Meta's came across this article on Search Engine Land where Matt Cutt's stated... "In fact, Matt said for his own blog, he doesn’t bother to make meta descriptions for his own site. In short, it is better to let Google auto-create snippets for your pages versus having duplicate meta descriptions."(http://searchengineland.com/googles-matt-cutts-dont-duplicate-your-meta-descriptions-177706) Recently, I have seen Google continuously play around with my metas, pulling from some really weird places on the page, discrediting the meta that I have there..and more-or-less really f them up.. Does the community think that maybe what Matt said in 2013 still holds weight and we are just wasting time with metas since Google does what they want in that space anyways?

Has anyone heard about Facebook's Revenue Problems? Duh right. Well have you seen how they are losing money yet?!?!
So about a year ago now (maybe more/less), Facebook changed the way their ads are displayed. On the desktop version of Facebook (for me at least), the Sponsored ads in the right sidebar display anywhere between 3 and 7 ads at a time. Well in the case of 7 ads, that is a lot of ads to look at and read through. All seems pretty ok right?? Well, here is the problem. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen an ad that interests me, and then read through the others below them, then before I can go back to click on the one that interested me, the ads automatically refresh, and I don't get to click on the ad. Maybe they figure that by refreshing ads, it gets them more chances to catch your interest, and that the value of that is higher than the value of me getting to click what I wanted. (It kinda upset me honestly. I thumbs down things that tease me.) Either way, they could have both. My solution? A small button that you can click to view the ads that were previously displayed. (imagine how much money that could bring them. Especially if I saw the ad yesterday, left the window open for 24 hours with the computer on, and just sat there clicking until i found it. You are BOUND to find MORE ads that interest you, and click on those too.) ((ok, ok, ok, maybe 24 hours is a little ridiculous, but at least SOME amount of time and a button is necessary)) If we were really going to build a marketing playground, then we could also throw in a "More Like This" button. It would open the doors to some AMAZING data. Full to the brim with advertisement related feedback coming happily from your users. When you are talking about positioning your brand, it doesn't get much more important than to talk to them while they are enjoying themselves. (i.e. they click button, and next page has 10 links. you show the links, based on how many times people are clicking them. Not to mention, when you are that big, you can look at the value of what they do immediately after, the next day, and even the next week, and really tell what is the most valueable add, in terms of egagement, and further CTRs and Conversions for later in your relationship ) Anyways, I thought everyone would find that interesting, and hopefully it would inspire some people to get analytical with their thoughts today. Do you think that Facebook could use some conversion rate optimization? Do you think that Facebook could be doing more than they are to make more money? Do you think that Facebook (being such a powerful site), could make a lot of money by implementing an SEO/Content strategy?

Video Keno gambling SEO client !? Do I want em?
I have a guy who wants SEO help. Actually he owns several companies and is willing to put my ad before all the movies in a local theater plus an ad AND a Q&A section about SEO and Internet marketing in a small newspaper he mails to 7k businesses every month in exchange for my help. While I am excited about the exposure and I'm sure it would result in some business I'm not excited about touching anything related to gambling at ALL. Am I right in thinking this or should I treat it like just another client? He has a site where he teaches people how to win at video keno and sells this info packet. Porn and gambling. Everything I have read and heard is geared towards sites like this NOT coming up in search engines. Thoughts? Thanks and have an AWESOME week! Matthew

Is it better to get a new site instead of maintaining a category? I'm stuck.
If you had a website "Food for Dogs" and: Food for German shepherds was improving in search traffic & conversions Snack Food for German shepherds had no change and never resulted in conversions but resulted in many leads for #1 Food for Poodles was unchanged but improving conversions Here's the kicker... Food Container for Dogs was super high traffic but with no conversions or any activity to other categories Would you redirect "food container for dogs" to a different site and delete that tab from the original site completely? It's still related but does not offer any $ value or leads to any of the other categories. Just note that we have a different interest in this category that will support the other categories at one time, but not any time soon. We also have a major group on LinkedIN that's grown to thousands of members for the "food container for dogs" category. On top of it all, the "food container for dogs" has been increasing in rank on Google for several keyphrases to positions 2-5 (nationally) Other important question: Would keeping "food container for dogs" influence the ranking of the other keywords? (by dilution of the site's PR or any other reason?)

Google Adwords Quality Score Driving me I-N-S-A-N-E
Here's my issue, I have an Air Conditioning client for whom I've been managing their SEO and Adwords PPC for the past year. The SEO is going good, we are seeing tangible results every month will soon be on page 1 for their most competitive keyword. On the adwords side, we are having some major issues though and I'm racking my brain. We are somehow getting quality scores in the 2's and 3's on the regular. I've streamlined my campaigns down to the city and within those I've streamlined my keyword groups into the following groups: City (Campaign) - AIr Conditioning (keyword group) - AC Repair (keyword group) - Fix AC (keyword group) - Contractor (keyword group) - Air Conditioner (keyword group) Every keyword we're bidding on falls nicely into one of these keyword groups and we're putting about 10 key words in each. Landing pages have exact phrase match in page title, h1, bold words, contact form and a coupon image with all the meta tags indicating the image offer matches the offer in our ads. We are running 3-4 ads in each keyword and testing new ads almost daily. Still getting 2s and 3s on the highest trafficked keywords (air conditioning & ac repair). I've read everything out there, I signed up for wordstream which had some decent recommendations (basically break your ad groups into smaller verticals) which I've implemented to no avail. I'm beginning to think Google is just hustling all these companies in service industry who they know rely on adwords to get phone calls in the summer - especially the HVAC industry. I'm running out of ideas here other than just going to Vegas and putting all my client's on black at the roulette wheel. Seems like a much more fun way to piss away thousands of dollars and at least they'll give me some cocktails.
