Web 2.0 integration & chain reactions… - Creativity Base - 0 views

  • I’ve been devoting much of my time of late to exploring Web 2.0 possibilities in the last few weeks… services, sites, widgets and ways to integrate them. Now that we all have profiles all over the place (Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, YouTube and countless others) keeping them all relevant can be pretty time consuming. Fortunately developers appear to be aware of this and are doing something about it. Here’s a cute little example of my most recent Web 2.0 chain reaction (websites updating other websites and profiles automatically)
  • This is a pretty neat development, and can be handy both socially and professionally.
  • In this case, my goal was to proliferate my online video, and share the awareness of it as broadly as possible.

    A good social media post that shares a real life story and experience about using online tools to spread content.

Photos Videos Journals Friends and Fun - Buzznet - 0 views

  • As a rising start-up, Buzznet is often compared to other social networking websites. However, Buzznet's Guides create daily music and pop-culture content that no other media-sharing site can rival. In addition to producing individual journals and video blogs, the on-staff curators deliver a live stream of relevant posts to the pages of Buzznet's music and pop-culture sections.

    Cool feature. They have pro content creation along side the UGC stuff. Like an interactive magazine. I like this.

Digital Marketing: Why Search May Not Click for Retailers - Advertising Age - Digital - 0 views

  • Less than 10% of online retailers' web traffic, on average, comes from search engines, according to an analysis by Nielsen Co.'s Online division.
  • the majority of retailers' web traffic (61%, on average) comes from people going directly to a retail site -- consumers typing, say, Amazon.com into a browser address bar.
  • Other referrals, such as affiliate programs or advertising (basically anything that wasn't direct navigation, comparison referrals or search), accounted for the remainder.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The 9.5% of traffic from search also likely included a good chunk of people conducting navigational searches
  • the top 50 search terms revealed only three that weren't branded -- and those were pornographic.
  • brand and past experiences [with a marketer] matter an awful lot and will be far more significant determinants of success than any customer acquisition strategy that they're going to engage in,
  • "make an important case for the continued relevancy of display advertising. While search gets a lot of credit because it's quantifiable, there's a reason people are typing things like Expedia into the Google search engine."
  • "You have to have the brand presence," Mr. Paradysz said, "because if you don't, you first don't benefit from the paid search, and second, you potentially lose some of that downstream activity."

    The importance of search, brand awareness, customer aqcuisition and all that crap on getting people to know who you are, remember you, search for you, click on your links and buy your crap.
