What Is All This Web 2.0 Talk About?

This article I have posted from www.AdAge.com should help you to understand what Web 2.0 is all about! This is very important information that you need to know if you want to succeed on the internet into the future...

Trying to Define Web 2.0
Web 1.0 Is So Last Year; Interaction, Multimedia Push Internet Forward - By BETH SNYDER BULIK

Published: July 10, 2006
YORK, Pa. (AdAge.com) -- Maybe the ultimate insult in the online world today is to be described as a Web 1.0 company. The so-called second wave of the internet revolution is all about Web 2.0. Sporting names such as Webaroo, Flickr, Trulia and Ning, the current crop of websites labeled Web 2.0 claim next-generation status.

While there is much debate-mostly within tech circles-there are a few things most pundits agree on. Web 2.0 companies are interactive. They invite consumer-generated comments and content, unlike Web 1.0 companies, which publish mostly read-only content.

"The trends that are captured by the concept of Web 2.0 are extremely valuable, like user participation and social media," said Greg Sterling, analyst with Sterling Market Intelligence. "[But] the term is not meaningful to the consumer at all. Where Web 2.0 has meaning is in the venture-capital community, because it's a buzzword. And also, in the insider world of the net, people know it conveys a sort of sense of cool or forward-looking company."

An Article About Quality Web Content - By Robin Nobles

25 Ways to Add Quality Content to Your Web Site....
By Robin Nobles - July 05, 2006

We've known for a long time that quality matters to Google. In a post Senior Google Engineer Matt Cutts made to his blog, "quality" was mentioned several times as being important to Google. Quality matters when it comes to content, and it matters when it comes to links.

However, building content and links doesn't have to be painful. Web site owners tend to think of content in a very limited way.

So, let's open up our creative minds and think of all sorts of ways of adding quality content to a Web site.

A few things to remember:

You're only confined by the boundaries you set for yourself and your Web site. Allow yourself to think in a totally different way than you've thought before.

Your Web site content should be written for your buying customers . . . not for you. Your Web site content should not be written for the search engines. The search engines are not your target audience.

Think of the overall picture of your site, as if it were a living, breathing entity. After all, Web sites should continue to grow on a constant basis and never be stale or stagnant.

Have You Seen Google's ALL New SEO Tool, Google Trends?

Here is a fun New SEO Tool from Google! I have been using it in beta version and having fun watching the niche trends I'm interested in. I recommend you do the same.

Learn About Google Trends

With Google Trends, you can compare the world's interest in your favorite topics.

Enter up to five topics and see how often they've been searched for on Google over time. Google Trends also displays how frequently your topics have appeared in Google News stories, and which geographic regions have searched for them most often.

So How does Google Trends work?

Google Trends analyzes a portion of googol web searches to compute how many searches have been done for the terms you enter relative to the total number of searches done on Google over time. We then show you a graph with the results -- our search-volume graph -- plotted on a linear scale.

Located just beneath our search-volume graph is our news-reference-volume graph. This graph shows you the number of times your topic appeared in Google News stories. When Google Trends detects a spike in the volume of news stories for a particular term, it labels the graph and displays the headline of an automatically selected Google News story written near the time of that spike. Currently, only English-language headlines are displayed, but we hope to support non-English headlines in the future.

Below the search and news volume graphs, Google Trends displays the top cities, regions, and languages for the first term you entered. Learn more today at: www.google.com/trends.

2005 was another banner year for the Internet retailing industry with merchants across the board achieving significantly higher sales, average tickets, conversion rates and traffic.
by Mark Brohan

Internet retailing has seen a decade of extraordinary growth. What’s more, during the past 10 years the web consistently has outperformed many multi-channel retailers’ store and catalog sales channels. Regardless, many retailers and industry analysts expected a softer year in 2005. After all, national economic indicators suggested shakier consumer confidence due to higher energy prices, a cutback in consumer spending brought about by a cooling housing market and overarching worries over the sporadic economy.

Returning from an eye-opening eBay Live!

My thanks to Pugster.com for quoting me in the following press release as seen on PrLeap.com...

Returning from an eye-opening eBay Live! conference at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Pugster’s Online Marketing Manager Marci Rosenblum found the experience especially empowering.

“eBay Live! is the annual 3-day event where thousands of eBay community members, industry experts and exhibitors get together to share the secrets of success, network, make new friends, and celebrate everything eBay. I certainly learned how to take Pugster’s eBay experience to a higher level.”

Four All New Important Channels Added to eBay.com

What's NEW at EBay.com, HOT off the 2006 EBay Live Convention floor...

One is the eBay Wiki (www.ebaywiki.com), where members can publish and/or contribute to articles of interest among the eBay community. Another enhancement is the new Members Blogs (http://blogs.ebay.com) that allow eBay users to create and publish journal type entries in their own space on eBay. Bloggers can post photos, link to other sites and converse about their interests.

Although best known for its auctions, over a third of eBay’s sales occur within a fixed-price format. A new eBay Express site launched this week to focus on new merchandise sold at fixed prices. Find out more at: http://www.express.ebay.com/.

Skype is the fourth innovation discussed at the conference. This new eBay company enables you to chat or call from your computer via the Internet. This downloadable software program provides an easy way for members to communicate using actual voices. With Skype, you can talk to anyone, anywhere for free.

What "It" Is eBay Wants

Acrobats and an Elvis impersonator warmed up the eBay crowd at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino Thursday for the Baby Boomer-era rock concert by Huey Lewis & the News. The gala dinner concert was a fitting end to the fifth-annual "eBay Live" convention aimed mostly at people who sell on the sprawling online marketplace.

At its convention, eBay chief executive Meg Whitman announced the site had registered its 200 millionth user. And though growth is slowing, trade on eBay is vast and getting bigger every day--more than $44 billion worth of goods changed hands on the site last year. That would make it the world's 11th-largest retailer if eBay actually owned the inventory instead of merely charging sales fees, said Whitman.

While eBay is best known for its auction format, more than a third of its sales volume now occurs in fixed-price format. And that is likely to expand even more, thanks to the new "eBay Express" site focused on new merchandise sold at fixed prices, which eBay officially launched this week after two months of testing. EBay said it would launch a major national ad campaign touting eBay Express this fall, along with the "it" theme (people can find whatever "it" is they want on eBay) introduced in commercials last year.

Looks like next years eBay Live 2007 conference will in held Boston MA.

E-Mail Marketing Tips For Faster Results

Here are 3 E-mail Marketing Tips that will HELP YOU to Generate Faster Results...

1.) The most effective times to send e-mail marketing messages are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. These days work best because everyone has had the chance to clean out their weekend e-mail. It is best to send your e-mails late in the morning.

2.) By placing a time deadline on an e-mail offer you can boost response rates! One-day sales can be very successful.

3.) Utilize online contests and offline promotional events to grow your e-mail database. Tell-a-friend campaigns can be very effective if the person telling is rewarded for spreading the word with receiving a free gift or discount.

You must always think ahead! Be smart when planning your online marketing campaigns and always keep in mind "you must give to get!"

Article Referral From The Web Success Coach: Custom Web Site Design Or Website Template - The Big Debate

This is a very interesting article about templates verses custom design, I am recommending this article as a MUST READ...

Custom Web Site Design Or Website Templates
- The Big Debate
By Christine Anderssen - Expert Author
Published: 2006-04-24
webpronews.com

A lot of custom web site designers are really critical of commercial website templates. I have seen snide comments on Forums and Blogs along the lines of 'This site has template written all over it'.

There are two main reasons not to like templates, and then some ways to mitigate these problems.

Lets explore these.

Templates are not original
There is something to be said for creating your own, all original work. But there is a difference between being somewhat artistic and being an artist with the capability of bringing together all the elements of a website headers, judicious use of graphics, menus and layout into a cohesive and pleasing whole. Not to talk about creating a website with a definite wow factor and one that loads fast to boot. Read on...

Well I must admit AOL, Warner Bros and In2TV has done something totally cool here. Rumor has it the first day of launch the site was swamped with TONS and TONS new lookers and TV show lovers!

I think the Web TV Traffic has only just begun...

In my opinion this is just the tip of the iceberg for Internet TV and Video. "The World is ready for it now, really wants it, lots of it!!" More of us have grown with the technology and now have the knowledge and means to really enjoy it and appreciate the convenience of having it.

I recommend you ALL take a look at the new site and enjoy those old TV shows you watched as a kid, teenager, or perhaps for many of you young people this will be the first time you get to see what your parents watched before you were even on planet Earth, right from your Computer or iPod!

Testing Keyword Phrases For Age Demographics

The Google Ageshare Calculator...

The Google Ageshare Calculator shows you what age group mentions any given keyword or phrase the most, according to Google search results. For example, the brand name "Ford Taurus" goes to the 30-year-old crowd, while "Jeep Grand Cherokee" belongs to the 44-year-old segment. The phrase "internet marketing" is heavily weighted to those 40 to 46 years old, while "online marketing" skews more to the 30 to 32-year-old crowd. How is this calculated? We're not quite sure, but there is a lengthy explanation of the algorithms and logic used to generate the calculations should you wish to explore further. This tool is brought to you by the people at Google Blogoscoped, an unofficial, highly regarded blog on search engines and Google. (Not affiliated with Google™)
