Research by the web hosting firm revealed one in four firms believe they had little understanding of the SEO process and how it could have a postive impact on their business. Furthermore, only 28 per cent of small companies believe that they understand their number of website visitors effectively despite tools such as Google analytics.

Fasthosts also said more than quarter (27 percent) have never used online methods to interact with customers, while only 23 percent use social networking to further sales and relationships with customers. More than two in five (41 percent) of small firms still don’t have an email contact form on their website and just six percent use live chat to communicate with customers via their website. However, one in five firms admitted under-investment in online marketing will probably have a negative effect on sales in the first quarter of 2011.

Furthermore, 38 percent of Brits admit they look for social media material from firms when making purchases, while only a third of consumer revealed they expect firms to reply to negative online reviews. However, just 14 percent of companies said they make a point of replying to online reviews.

“For many small firms, battling for online visibility can be a real stress and seem too daunting a challenge to take on. However, every business owner should know that there are now low-cost, point-and-click solutions for both improving search engine positions and understanding how their website is being used,” said Steve Holford, marketing director at Fasthosts.

Experience really counts with a successful  Internet Marketing and SEO Consulting campaign.

To run a successful online marketing campaign you need to know what your doing, you need to have made mistakes, tested what works and actually had some success.

Google make it sound all very easy to setup an Adwords campaign and that’s because it IS easy. What is not easy is to actually construct and then optimise a profitable campaign – one that does not burn the budget away.

Anyone can enter a bunch of keywords, write some ads and throw $50 in the budget… it’s making a profit on that $50 which is important, generating RoI on SEO and new revenue for your business

PPC is a very effective tool for growing your business but you need to either invest significant time and money in your research and test your campaigns properly or hire someone who can demonstrate previous Adwords success.

Just because a keyword gets a millions searches a month doesn’t mean you will make any money from being top. It’s important to know what traffic delivers a bottom line and focus on that, PPC is perfect for this as you can instantly test a number of keywords and see which work.

However, Google don’t yet provide support for Internet Explorer and I spent a few minutes trying to work out why it wasn’t showing in Internet Explorer.

At this stage Google don’t support any Google apps in IE7 and it does not look like Google +1 works in IE8 either but Firefox 4 seems fine.

We’ll keep you updated once Google Plus1 rolls out to Internet Explorer

Today, the +1 button is available to everyone and this means that “you” as a webmaster can add the +1 button to your website and let people share on Google your content.

Google made the process really simple as it is with Facebook and Twitter. Just grab the code, copy/paste and you’re set.

Google Adwords

Titanium Consulting have many clients using a variety of advertising channels and Google Adwords is obviously one of the premier advertising solutions.

However, it can of course prove hugely expensive to continue running a Google Adwords campaign indefinitely which is why we recommend that our clients mix Google Adwords with a variety of different options and of course SEO play a key role in this as does more general Internet Marketing.

Our recommendation is that clients should consider a range of different options, mediums and channels to promote their products.

We recently worked with a client who managed to obtain a highly favourable article in one of the leading Red Top newspapers. Such exposure is of huge value, both to the brand and of course the online presence.

PPC campaigns such as Google Adwords have a role to play but should not be the only approach.

WordPress User Guide – Titanium Consulting 1.0

Social Media relies on user-generated content and allows users to share, discuss and participate in the conversation. It also allows people or businesses to become both readers and publishers of content. Interaction also plays a key role in Social Media with communication between fellow users increasing content levels and further spreading the word.

This content can come in many forms including; text, images, videos and audio. Online communities are also created through Social Media as like-minded individuals discuss their common interests.

Social Media is fast moving with a constant stream of new technologies being created allowing for greater interaction and new ways to share content online.

Below is a list of the most popular Social Media platform types:

* Social Networks – Social Networks are platforms designed for users to interact with one another and allow people to create personal profiles in which they can communicate with fellow users –most often friends, family or business associates. Social Networks allow users to chat and share content – be it through text, photo or video. Currently, the most popular social networking sites include Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and Bebo.

* Video Sharing – Video is a content medium that can be uploaded and shared online. A prime example would be YouTube. Users can comment on posted videos and increase viewer numbers through links, word of mouth and by uploading the video to other online portals/sites.

* Photo sharing – Photo sharing sites are becoming increasingly popular and allow users to upload and share their photographs or images online. These photos can then be shared across the web. A good example of a photo sharing website would be Flickr.

* Blogging/Forums – Blogs and forums are types of websites usually maintained by an individual, a business or an online community. The way in which a blog differs from a standard static website is in the regular updates or entries made. These can be made up of a multitude of things be it a running commentary, event updates, latest news or rich media. Blogs are also highly interactive and most blogs allow for readers to post comments or add to an article. Micro blogging is a more recent phenomenon allowing users to post very short text posts on a regular basis – Twitter is the best example of this.

* Social Bookmarking – Social bookmarking sites allow users to share their thoughts on content across the web. They can comment of all types of content whether it is an overall website, a blog post, a news article or even a photo or video. By publicly bookmarking this content it becomes suggested to other relevant users who in turn read and can also bookmark the item spreading it across the internet. Popular social bookmarking sites include: Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit and del.icio.us.

This is certainly not a definitive list of all things Social Media, but it gives you an idea of the wide range of online mediums which are all grouped and incorporated into the common phrase ‘Social Media’.

Titanium Consulting can offer a wide range of advice on Social Media and how you can harness these tools to drive new business to your online estate.
