Grow Your Business: Go to Google School

When your customers type in keywords looking for solutions, will they find you and your business? Or will they find your competitors first? Until now, only people who could afford expensive search engine optimization services were mastering "the art of Google."

A recent study by Internet research firms Marketing Sherpa and Enquiro demonstrated that search engines are now the dominant force driving most business- buying decisions. Key findings include:

93.2% of respondents research business- buying decisions online
Google is overwhelmingly favored over other search engines
Respondents use search engines in the early phase of their buying cycles
High search engine rankings are critical; over 60% of respondents click on the top three listings

The role of Google - and all major search engines - cannot be overstated, and as more and more people search for business products and services online, findability is going to be more and more important in the future.

How would you like to go to Google School?

The Blog Squad is proud to sponsor this upcoming learning program, everything you need to know, delivered in a 3 month, 5 part teleseminar series and online learning program. Dave Taylor and Steven Van Yoder will show you the secrets "slightly famous" entrepreneurs use to increase their visibility in the marketplace, grow sales, and become more successful.

Podcast Your Press Release

Yesterday on Build a Better Blog I mentioned that I had listened a podcast with Andy Wibbels and Rick Bruner about blogs and PR.

Today, with a couple of minutes to kill, I went over to PRWeb.com, the service we use to post and distribute press releases to see what's new. There are a couple of things to note.

When you upgrade your release distribution to the $80 level, trackbacks are enabled so you can allow readers to link to your press release and link back to their own blogs.

And, in February PRWeb started PRWebPodcast.com. At the $200 distribution level, they will conduct a 5-7 minute interview about the news in your release and then distribute it all over the podcasting networks. This is a brilliant way to extend your brand for a low cost. If you have a really big announcement, a great new product or anything really newsworthy, you may want to consider investing the $200 to get the maximum exposure.
