If your objective is to measure brand preference or performance of text ad creative, you can measure “click through” and “conversion” rates. if your objective is to generate qualified leads, you can track online registrations (for newsletters, events or white papers), downloads (trials or demos) or email inquiries. If your objective is sales, you can track ecommerce sales or offline sales via printable coupons or phone call tracking.
It can take several months for Google to fully index your new site. In the process, Google will find pages that are new and will discover pages that were part of the old version of your site that are no longer there. As Google maps out your site, you will see the Page Rank of individual pages changing over time. It depends on the extent to which your footprint has changed If the change is dramatic, you can expect to see dramatic changes in your rankings until the new footprint is fully appreciated. Install the Google Toolbar and look at the PageRank of your individual pages. Your new pages are likely to have no or zero PageRank. Over time, as Google comes to more fully understand your site, PageRank will start to appear on all pages.
After some initial consultation with the client we will come up with a script. The reason for this is synergy! This way the client knows what we are saying and they are happy with the enthuses we are putting onto certain areas of the conversation, that the qualification questions we are asking are correct, and through calling we will make minor changes depending on what response we are receiving.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is designing, writing, and coding (in HTML) your entire web site so that there is a good chance that your web pages will appear at the top of search engine queries for your selected keywords and key phrases.
A spider is a piece of software that follows links throughout the Internet, grabbing content from sites and adding it to search engine databases.
Spiders follow links from one page to another and from one site to another. That is the primary reason why links to your site are so critical. Getting links to your website from other websites will give the search engine spiders more opportunities to find and re-index your site. The more times they find links to your site, the more times they will stop by and visit. This has been true since spiders began. Recently there has been an incredible amount of attention paid to links. That’s because Google came clean and said in public that the number and quality of links to your site will directly impact its rankings in the search results.

Limited marketing knowledge: while we have so many online research reports, how many different kinds of information do we get? Not much! So far, most online research are about “how many people are online” or “how many people bought online”. While we have so many marketing issues to explore, why on the earth does almost all of the research explore such questions as “how many people are online”, again and again, and again?
The wer is: most researchers don’t have much marketing knowledge to explore the Internet issues. Have we ever heard from these online research firms discussing our marketing issues? If a marketing researcher has less marketing knowledge than his/her clients, how can he/she help the clients understand their markets?
A good marketing research consists of 8O% marketing knowledge and 2O% statistics.
Google is by far the most used search engine today. In addition to providing Web search at its home page, Google.com, Google also provides web search results to several of the most popular Internet destinations, including Yahoo! [Note: As of 02/18/2004, Yahoo! no longer uses Google as its default search engine.] and AOL Google does far more than 200 million (>200,000,000) searches every day through Google.com. That number was reported by Google all the way back in 2001, and they have consistently refused to update it, but you can be assured that Google does substantially more than 200,000,000 searches every day through Google.com.

Glad you asked. I like speaking engagements, especially since I used to teach at two major universities. Some of the topics I cover are:
Though meta description tags are not a major factor search engines consider when ranking sites, they should not be left off the page. Both the meta keywords tag and the meta description tag contribute to your search engine ranking, and the meta description tag influences the likelihood that a person will actually click on the search engine results page and visit your site.
The meta description tag is intended to be a brief and concise summary of your page’s content. Think of the Yahoo! directory. You see your site title followed by a brief description of your site or business. The meta description tag is designed to provide a brief description of your site which can be used by search engines or directories. The meta description tag takes the following form:
<meta name=”description” content=”Brief description of the contents of your page.”>
Key points to keep in mind when wering this sales interview question are:
Currently, WebCMO teams with LinkExchange Digest (A popular mailing list for web marketers) to conduct a series research about web marketing issues: Explore Web Business Markets. We are going to explore many aspects of the web marketing.

Share information on how you had developed the plan but do not mention the name of the product/service or other confidential details. You may say, “One of the products in our company was entering into the maturity stage from the growth stage of the product life cycle. As such it was necessary to plan out another marketing strategy that would be effective at this level. The stress was given to factors like market retention and expion while drafting the plan. The plan was effective in strengthening the position of the product in this concerned market.”
The element of confidentiality is important throughout the wer. In case you are asked about the name of the company then be polite and say that certain restriction are not permitting you to disclose the name of the product. The interviewer(s) would understand the gravity of the situation.

Telemarketing calls made to a number which has been listed on the federal registry for three months, or which are on a company’s ‘Do Not Call” list, violate Vermont law.

Search engine marketing is an umbrella term referring to all activities utilized to generate visibility in search engine results in order to increase revenue. Common strategies and tactics include search engine optimization (SEO), search engine and directory submission, link development, pay-per-click (PPC) management, shopping feeds, affiliate marketing and online public relations (promotion via blogs, engines, threaded forums, newsgroups, discussion lists and chat).
If you spend enough time looking at search engine results, eventually it will occur to you that sites seem to be ranked in part based upon the length of time they have existed. It can appear that older sites tend to rank higher than newer sites, and one can be tempted to conclude that age is a factor in the search engine algorithms.
It is hard to say ‘striking”. However we did have some valuable and interesting findings in our research.
For example, about one year ago, while very few large online companies promoted their businesses through offline ad media and while the online advertising community doubted about the effectiveness of offline promotion, our research. Online Promotion Strategy Study, shows that offline promotion (for web businesses) is one of the most effective promotion methods.
Another example is that when comparing CPM pricing model with CPC pricing model, we assumed that advertisers preferred the CPC model because the (‘PC model give advertisers guaranteed advertising results. However, in the research Understand Advertisers’ Preferences, we found that advertisers don’t prefer the CPC model. A further study shows that this is because advertisers expect higher than average click through rate.
Good marketing research provides useful information. But useful information does not necessarily need to be striking. Of course, I do hope our research yields “striking” results. But I don’t intentionally to pursue “striking” effects. To make the research result useful to web marketers is our fundamental goal in the research.
On a daily basis, we will split the data into several sections. The main section will remain as it is, but we will copy and paste things like, Appointments. Short Term Leads, Long Term Leads, Info requests, and client to deal with, into separate sections for easy access. Normally done in Excel.
Certain calls are not covered by the federal registration law, including calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors, and companies from which you have bought something or received a delivery in the past 18 months. If you do not want to get calls from companies that fall into any of these groups, tell the company or charity to put your phone number on their own “Do Not Call” list. Every company and charity is obliged to keep such a list.

The simple and direct wer to the second part of the question is that you should not use hidden text. You may be able to trick the search engines for a brief period of time by hiding keyword stuffed sentences on your page, but you will risk having your site permanently banned from the search engines. As we state on our SEO Services page, search engine optimization is not a process of manipulating or tricking the search engines.

It used to be. Back in the earlier days of search, AltaVista used meta-tags to index a site with keywords in the meta-tags section of a page. Then you would submit it and have a reasonable chance of being listed. However, it was soon evident that this could be abused (with meta-tag stuffing, spamming etc) and also not very useful as users would get to a legitimate site and not find the pages they were looking for. Google and other search engines followed with algorithmic criteria that made the search experience much more relevant.

Hidden text is textual content which your visitors cannot see, but which is still readable by the search engines. The idea is to load a Web page with keywords and keyword phrases that would be unsightly to visitors but that would improve the page’s rankings in the search engine results, and to do so without letting your visitors see the text. Hidden text is identified as search spam by each of the major search engines.

First off, WebCMO is a web site dedicated to web marketing research. When we use the word “dedicated”, we mean it. On WebCMO’s web site, you see nothing but web marketing research. We have even rejected banner advertising on our web site many times because we want to keep it a clean place for marketing research. There is something more important than money in our world--marketing research.
Secondly, our attitudes of conducting marketing research. We are serious and treat marketing research as a science. However, many marketing research firms treat marketing research as a business. The very popular but unreliable online forecasts are good examples of such bad attitudes.
Thirdly, our web marketing knowledge makes us stand along among many marketing research firms. A good marketing researcher should be a good marketing strategist. Without a thorough understanding of marketing issues, one is unlikely to conduct good marketing research.
Lastly, it is our marketing research capability that makes us different. Have you seen marketing research firms use "advanced” statistical techniques in their marketing research To us, these are the basic techniques for understanding marketing issues. We use them not because we want to show off but because we have to use them to understand complicated marketing situations.
