Yahoo Search Assist Becomes Geo-Sensitive

2010-09-02T16:25:15Z

<p>Under the right circumstances, search engines can turn the names of a person&#39;s city and state into ugly words; users looking for local info may have to type them over and over until they wish the founders had stuck to just two or three letters.  New Yahoo search suggestions aim to eliminate that problem, though.<br> <br> Product Manager Vivian Lin Dufour wrote on the <a href="http://www.ysearchblog.com/2010/09/02/yahoo-search-serves-suggestions-closer-to-you/">Yahoo Search Blog</a> this morning, &quot;We&#39;re making Search more intuitive by taking user context and applying it to the search experience.  Today we are introducing an enhanced Yahoo! Search Assist, providing suggestions geographically closer to you as you type your query.&quot;<br> <br> You can see an example of how this works below.  The first image shows what search suggestions a Yahoo user in Sunnyvale, California (which is in Santa Clara County) would get after typing &quot;santa.&quot;  The second image shows how they&#39;d differ for an individual located in Santa Barbara.</p> <center><a href="http://www.ysearchblog.com/2010/09/02/yahoo-search-serves-suggestions-closer-to-you/"><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/webpronews/article_pics/YahooSearchAssistGeosensitive.jpg" alt=""></a></center> <p>This should save people some typing, and in the process, also tends to make Yahoo's results look much more useful.<br> <br> The upgrade shouldn&#39;t cross any sort of &quot;creepy&quot; line, either, since Yahoo doesn&#39;t seem to be interested in pinning down users&#39; exact addresses or anything like that.<br> <br> Anyway, Dufour invited everyone, &quot;Give this new feature a try and let us know what you think about geo-sensitive search suggestions in the comments section ...

It's All Marketing

If the circus is coming to town and you paint a sign saying "Circus Coming to the Fairground Saturday," that's advertising. If you put the sign on the back of an elephant and walk it into town, that's promotion. If the elephant walks through the mayor's flower bed, that's publicity. And if you get the mayor to laugh about it, that's public relations. If the town's citizens go the circus, you show them the many entertainment booths, explain how much fun they'll have spending money at the booths, answer their questions and ultimately, they spend a lot at the circus, that's sales.

PRG Design ... What's the Difference?



One of the things that run through your mind when thinking about a website is how can I tell what the difference is... You have some specific factors that you must concider before selecting a website design professional or service provider:

1. Click Around...Do you like what you see? (this is important but beleive it or not it is not the most important.) but it is the most important first step.

2. Know your objectives. Why do you have/need a website? Do you want to have a website to say ... "I have a website" or do you want a website to build your sales/prospects channel?

3. Call the service provider up off hours... Did they answer the phone? Send an email/fill out the contact form. How long did it take for them to get back to you? You can derive a lot from this test and make some assumptions based on the level of service you should expect to receive while working with them from this little test.

4. When you did finally talk to someone were they able to answer your questions or did they just ask questions? Did the experience provide you with a sense of confidence that you will be taken care of?

5. No matter how big your project or your budget you should feel like you are in good hands and have confidence that you will be taken care of. Without this you will be doomed from the start.

5 Keys to Local Online Marketing
Fri, 14 May 2010 15:10:00 +0000
(Small Business Online Marketing)

Small Business Online Marketing System

Online Marketing should be the first channel a small business or a new business Looks at. You can gain instant understanding of your market. Triggers that drive sales. You can learn price point and values of your customers in just a few weeks. Then apply this knowledge to your traditional marketing materials to solidify your brand strategy. These next 5 keys define how we impliment, execute, monitor and maintain your online strategy:
  1. Define your Value Proposition.
    What sets you apart from your competion. Use this to leverage your offer and drive new customers to your sales pipeline. Market your best value clearly and straight forward. Avoid the bait and switch and be clear on what is included in the offer. (In this economy marketing price over value is the first step, customer loyalty has taken a back seat to saving a dime)
  2. Make sure website communicates the same way your sales force does.
    You have spent countless hours training and selling and you know what works when you have the attention of your customers. Use this knowledge online and construct a website that follows these same values
  3. Always ask for the sale!
    On every page of your website ask for the sale. Give the visitors a clear path to contact you. The sooner the customer is able to make the connection with your sales path the higher the chance they will purchase form you.
  4. Your website is your extended sales force.
    Make sure it is up to date and has your message. When Your website is developed correctly it will generate calls, emails or foot traffic of customers that allready know who you are and what you can do. They will have very specific questions concerning details that we leave off your website on purpose. This is a huge step forward from cold calls from third party lead generators because the customer allready knows you. They are not in the position of being approached by 3+ other vendors with the same story.
  5. Customer Service
    This is the best way to get a bad rep online. If a customer does not get what they paid for an was not clear in understanding what they are going to get the online customer knows how to affect your reputation online. Just be sure to set expectations of service with the customer right away.
