Local Internet Marketing Services - Points of Hype


Local Internet Marketing Services

Making your local, small business findable is vital.  People search online for deals and buy locally.  Internet marketing for local businesses is now critical.

To catch the attention of local customers and clients who want your products and services, you may need to turn to a local internet marketing specialist for non-traditional SEO like online yellow pages listings, digital business cards, and mobile friendly websites. 

Search habits are changing.  Individuals who use yellow pages, newspapers, print classifieds, and local cable television to find a product or service at a local business are disappearing every day.  Even my 83 year-old mother can print out map directions and coupons online.

Why does your company need local search marketing?

To begin, it's different from conventional Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  Conventional SEO techniques help make your website visible, which is entirely well and good.  No harm done.  On occasion, it even helps raise your other business listings.

Stats:

73% of all online action is related to local content

85% of web visitors rely on search engines and perform over 16 billion searches a month

90% of those searches are for community vendors 

66% of Americans exploit the Internet to find local businesses

54% of Americans have replaced their phone books/printed yellow pages with search - and nearly 100% for those less than 50 years old

82% of local searchers follow up their search with a phone call or walk-in

53% of U.S. online consumers research products online then buy at a local store or over the phone

43% of search engine users investigate or shop online then buy locally

Google's share of local search - 72% (May 2010)
   * Yahoo! - 14%
   * Bing - 9%
   * Ask.com - 2%

Unfortunately, most agencies or individuals who offer local search or local seo are “geek-centric”.  They will overwhelm you with tech speak like SEO, SERPs, and PPC campaigns.  If I am a small business owner, I want leads and customers.  I want my phone to ring.

* Push me past my competition on Google, but most importantly, send customers to my door instead of to my competitors.

* I need a local internet marketing specialist who can get the job done without calling me six times a day.  Prove you are the expert I need.

* I want to tend to my core business and crush my competition.  Help me now.

Local Internet Marketing Services - Making Your Business Findable

Making your local, small business findable is essential. People search on the net for deals and purchase locally. Internet marketing for local businesses is now required.

To attract local customers and clients who want your products and services, you may need to go to a local internet marketing specialist for non-traditional SEO such as online yellow pages listings, digital business cards, and mobile friendly websites.

Internet search routines are evolving. Individuals who use yellow pages, newspapers, print classifieds, and local cable TV to find a product or service at a local business are dying out every day. Even my 83 year-old mother can shop local specials and print out coupons before going shopping.

Why does your company need Internet marketing at all?

For one, it's distinct from usual Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Established SEO strategies help make your website visible, which is all well and good. It doesn't hurt. Traditional SEO can elevate your local business listings - if those listings are in place.

Stats:

73% of all online action is related to local content

85% of web visitors depend on search engines and perform in excess of 16 billion searches a month

90% of those searches are for local vendors

66% of Americans make use of the Internet to locate local businesses

54% of Americans have replaced their phone books/printed yellow pages with search - and just about 100% for those less than 50 years old

82% of local searchers follow up their search with a phone call or walk-in

53% of U.S. online consumers research products online then buy at a local store or over the phone

43% of search engine users research or shop online then purchase locally

Google's share of local search - 72% (May 2010)
* Yahoo! - 14%
* Bing - 9%
* Ask.com - 2%

Regrettably, nearly all firms or people who offer local search or local seo are “geek-centric”. They will overwhelm you with geek speak such as SEO, SERPs, and PPC campaigns. As a small business owner, I want customers or clients, not campaigns, branding, or useless hits to my website. How they do it does not concern me as long as their methods are white hat.

* I don't care about the details any more than I want to know how my mechanic fixed my transmission.

* I want a marketing specialist. I want the phone to ring off the hook. I want my competition to wonder why I am hiring new staff in a recession.

* Show me how local internet marketing will help me dominate Google and my area market. Help me quick.

Warnings from Doug Casey

Amplify’d from www.lewrockwell.com

Doug:
Right. I keep coming back to basics; to accumulate wealth, you have
to produce more than you consume and save the difference. In time,
that savings can be invested in new ventures and new technologies
that create prosperity. You simply cannot spend and consume your
way into prosperity, either as an individual or as a society. Worse,
all the debt in the world is an indication that many people are,
in effect, living out of future production. This is why I keep saying
that what they are doing is not only the wrong thing, but the exact
opposite of the right thing. I'm not just being rhetorical – it's
the literal truth. Real, sustainable economic recovery and growth
depends on abandoning the old, uneconomic patterns of production
and consumption that punish saving.

Wind Powering America: 80-Meter Wind Maps and Wind Resource Potential

PaySpree: An Affiliate Network That Pays Instant Paypal Commission On Every Product

If you sell digital products online you are no doubt aware of the two most popular affiliate networks, ClickBank and PayDotCom.



While both of these are great and I highly recommend each of them, today I came across a brand new service that really caught my attention. It's called PaySpree and the reason it caught my attention is that ALL its members get paid for their sales instantly by PayPal.



Even affiliates get paid for their referred sales instantly by PayPal.



I expect it to become quite a hit as the lure of 'instant commissions'  played a big part in the massive success of products such as 7DollarSecrets and the RapidActionProfits scripts.



I've actually come across products for sale that are just lists of affiliate programs that pay instant paypal commission. And I've seen many threads in the various internet marketing forums asking about where to find instant commission affiliate programs. Now there is an entire site and marketplace dedicated to them.



As soon as you become a member you can start promoting any product in the marketplace, and you can add your own products so affiliates can promote them for you. All commission payments are handled automatically by PaySpree, it sounds like a winner to me.



I've just signed up and had a look around the site and it seems pretty simple and non cluttered, check it out at the link below and let me know what you think:
