The old adage, “keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”, is applicable not only to personal relationships but business relationships as well. While I’m not suggesting that you befriend your competitors, it is important that you are cognizant of your competitors’ business ventures and methods.

It is important to realize that while monitoring your competitors is essential, it could easily become an obsession. Therefore, it is crucial that you strike a balance when incorporating it into your business plan. There are several ways to conduct successful stealth competitive intelligence operations. While it is fanciful to imagine yourself as a secret agent or spy, none of these techniques are difficult, hidden or secretive. In fact, most of them are tools or services available to all businesses.

1. Ego Searches

What are ego searches? Ego searches are keywords or keyword phrase searches for a specific brand, product, or company name. Ego searches are a great way to monitor mentions of a competing product. You can automate the set up of ego searches using RSS, so anytime a competitor’s product or brand name is mentioned in the news, blogosphere, or print you receive notification and the details in an RSS feed.

2. Competitive Intelligence

Competitive Intelligence is defined as the process of gathering actionable information in a competitive environment. Competitive Intelligence is researching the business environment or techniques that another business uses. Competitive Intelligence is often used to influence a strategy for business development.

First, it is necessary to know your competition. Background research can be conducted using the tools at DNS Stuff http://www.dnsstuff.com , and various other websites. The DNS stuff website will allow you to do a whois lookup. A number of other research tools are also available on the site.

3. Google Alerts

Receive notification via email on the latest relevant Google search results (web, news, etc.). Define the Google Alerts using a competitors company name or product name. http://www.google.com/alerts

http://www.googlealert.com/ (3rd party tracking service) – Google Alert is the web’s leading automated search and web intelligence solution for monitoring your professional interests online. It tracks the entire web for your personalized topics and sends you new results by daily email.

4. Meta Tags

Have you ever considered what keywords or phrases a competitor is targeting on their website? Have a peak at their meta tags by simply viewing the webpage source. Pay particular attention to the header tags that include title, description, and keywords. Are these keywords part of your marketing mix?

5. Information

Arm yourself with information. The Googspy website is particularly useful when used properly. Enter a keyword, company name, or domain, click the results and view the companies top 25 competitors. If any of those websites are using pay per click on Google, you will also be able to obtain a partial list of the adwords they have purchased. The website gives you a glimpse inside competitors, but the list they provide is by no means exhaustive. http://www.googspy.com

6. Incoming Links

There are a number of ways to determine who is linking to a competitor.

A simple search can be conducted in Google and MSN for “link:domain.com” (replace domain.com with competitor’s domain). In Yahoo enter a search for “linkdomain:domain.com” (again replacing domain.com with your competitors name). The search will produce all webpages that provide a link to your competitor. Ideally you can request links from the websites as well.

Other BackLink Tools – http://www.webuildpages.com/tools/

Search for Places to Submit to; this site auto-generates http://www.webuildpages.com/search/ another tools that works in a similar way – http://tools.seobook.com/general/link-suggest/ ; simply enter the keyword and a list of sites that will allow you to request links appears.

7. Alexa Ranking

Use Alexa to determine not only who is linking to a competitor, but also to determine what sites are related (list yours) . Alexa monitors web traffic trends, and a list of similar websites. Alexa also has the ability to show a website’s popularity trends. http://www.alexa.com

8. Website Monitoring

It is generally a good practice to monitor competitors, and you can do this using a tool like CodeMonitor. CodeMonitor takes a snapshot of a websites’ HTML and notifies of any changes. The differences in the web pages are highlighted, making it easy to discern what changes occurred. CodeMonitor is a free online tool, that can be found at: http://www.emarketingperformance.com/tools/codemonitor/

9. Comparison Tools

MarketLeap has some great search comparison tools that allow for you to compare domains and ranking. Marketleap’s Trend/History report gives you a view of how you or a competitors website’s Search Engine Saturation has performed over time. It also verifies search engine placement based on keywords so you can quickly discern a competitors ranking for various phrases in the top search engines. [http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/]

10. Other Useful Spy Tools

Domain tools has a mark alert that allows you to monitor the use of a trademark. They also have a number of domain tracking and monitoring tools that can be helpful. http://www.domaintools.com/

Keep in mind that while you should be aware of the direction a competitor is moving. I do not advocate copying a competitor. These tools above are to assist businesses in monitoring their competition. I am not suggesting that you replicate, duplicate, or copy anything that a competitor does. Use the competitive intelligence to make sound business decisions about the direction you want to take.

What happened to the paperless office? We generate more paper now than we ever did before the advent of the computer! A computer’s hard drive can get just as cluttered as any other part of the office. With seemingly limitless storage capacity, it’s easy to create piles of files on your computer. This section will help you file your documents more logically and find them more easily.

1. Use directories and subdirectories. The first step in creating your electronic filing system is to create the structure. Let’s say you had a filing cabinet where you stored
your paper files. If every folder were labeled “My Documents,” you wouldn’t find anything. Microsoft automatically sets up a folder titled “My Documents,” where you can save your documents. If you save EVERYTHING under this directory, you will
never be able to find what you need. Just like your paper files, you should save your computer documents into folders, sometimes called directories and subdirectories.

2. Set up your filing system. The most important thing is to point all your saved files into ONE main directory. You won’t believe how incredibly easy it is to do backups: you
simply burn one directory to a CD. I don’t use the “My Documents” directory (although you can, with subfolders). In Windows Explorer, I created a directory called c://a_laura under my c: drive. If you put the letter “a” in front of your name with an underscore, it will always be the FIRST directory in the folder list, making saves faster. Under your main directory, create subfolders with the main categories of documents you save. Don’t worry about the TYPE of document (word processing, spreadsheet, database, etc.), just think about the category. For example, I use the following
subdirectories:

a_laura/business

a_laura/personal

a_laura/school

Then within each subdirectory, I create additional folders.
Under my business directory, I use:

://a_laura/business/articles…Associations, Backups,
Book, Clipart, Contracts, Courses, Keynotes, Marketing,
Media, Newsletters, Policies, Postcards, Products,
Promotional, Templates, Websites

Many of the above then have additional subdirectories. Some folders go eight subfolders deep.

3. Save documents in the correct location. Each time I create a document, regardless of the program it was created in, I save it in the appropriate directory. You will have Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations all in the same
directory, which doesn’t matter because the correct files display when you open a file from the correct software program. Select “File,” “Save As,” and use the “up” arrow until you locate the correct directory. Change your saving preferences in Word under “Tools,” “Options,” “File Locations.” When you save a new document, it will automatically go to the correct directory location.

4. Create naming conventions for your files. Now that you’ve located the correct directory, you have to give it a name that will make it easy to find later. I save contracts in the format YYMMDD CLIENT PROGRAM. I would save a contract under c://a_laura/business/contracts/2003. All the contracts within that directory would be listed in chronological order. When I first started using computers, they were all DOS-based (now I’m feeling my age). I used to have to name files with eight letters. Thank heavens for Windows! Now we have a 255-character capability for file names, so go ahead and make the name as long as you want! The bigger the name, the more likely you will be able to find it again using a keyword search. Ask yourself, “If I want this file again, what words or phrases would I think of first?”

5. Find what you need. If your directory system hits a snag, don’t despair! You can still find that file you created using the “Search” feature of your operating system. If I’m
out of town and John needs to quickly locate a file to send to a client, he can go to the Start Menu, Search, files or folders, select a_laura, and type in any words he thinks
would describe the document, and it’s there! We also have a printout of my file directory, so he can quickly locate files in Windows Explorer as well.

My colleagues and clients are always amazed when we’re on the phone together and they request a piece of information, I can locate it in seconds. It’s easy to create documents and
save them. The big trick is retrieving them again. Using the five steps I described above, you will be able to find the files you want, when you want them, in 30 seconds or less.

Make it a productive day! (TM)

Have you ever heard the phrase: “It takes all kinds to make the world go ’round?” Well, it does. Especially in Information Technology. But, I’m of the opinion that IT people come roughly in two flavors.

1. Technicians (or Engineers)
2. Consultants (or Analysts)

What’s the difference you say? Well, here’s my definitions:

Technician
Technicians are technical. They understand the *how* of a technology, how to make it run, how to service it, install it, create it. They’re great with machines, coding, and complex troubleshooting. Often they’re the kind of people who just can’t stand to *not* know why something broke and want to fix it no matter how long it takes.

Consultant
Consultants look at business process and are more interested in why and where and who and what rather than the how of a particular technology. They may also be very technically capable, but they generally marry superior customer service, business analysis, and communication skills with that technical capability.

Here are some common questions I’ve heard about technicians and consultants:

Q. Can you train technicians?

A. You can give people knowledge about a technology, but it’s much harder (if not impossible) to train the intuitive grasp of *how* technology works. Contrary to what most people think, the creation, operation and support of technology is as much an art as it is a science. It changes so rapidly and the complexity is so overwhelming that if all you have is book knowledge and you don’t just “get it” you’re not going very far. This is one of the real advantages young people have in growing up with technology that their parents did not… they just get it since they’ve been dealing with it their whole lives.

Q. Can you train consultants?

A. You can train consulting skills for sure. You can teach people to look at business process and to consider the business implications of using one technology or another. You can train people to be good with customer service and you can educate them in the use of written and verbal language skills. But, once again, there’s a certain something that separates good consultants from technicians. You have to not only “get it” the same way a technician does but you need an intuitive grasp of how people think and how they interact with technology.

Q.Can a technician become a consultant?

A. Certainly! I did! I think we all begin as technicians. You only develop an ability to see the larger picture and the business savvy required for consulting over time and with experience. It requires development especially of your communication skills, both verbal and written. If you didn’t learn to spell and your grammar depends on Microsoft Word’s spell checking you’re in for a hard ride as a consultant.

Q. What’s wrong with being a technician?

A. Absolutely nothing. We need both technicians and consultants. Technicians do things with the actual technology that consultants just can’t. Someone has to make this stuff! Someone has to code the applications and build the servers. But would you put a technician in front of a client and ask them to deliver a presentation to C-Level management? Definitely not. It’s not a good use of their skills and they probably wouldn’t enjoy it.

So, which is better? Technician or Consultant? It depends on your business needs. And since I’m a consultant, would you like a presentation on the topic?

A device that fits in the pocket of a cargo pant yet does the work of a laptop: this is what Tablet PC is! No keyboard, no mouse; only operate this computer with a stylus or a digital pen. Some of these devices can be operated with fingertip even. Powered by the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system, and equipped with a touch sensitive screen designed to interact with a compatible pen, the Tablet PCs are fully-functional laptop PCs; and in some cases even more than that.

Replacing the mouse, this palmtop gives you the leverage to use the pen directly on the screen to do things like select, drag, and open files. Say goodbye to the keyboard; Tablet PCs are equipped with handwriting recognition technology that is effective at recognising natural cursive writing, rather than letter-by-letter recognition. Contrary to a touch screen, the screen of this device receives information from a special pen only.

Surprisingly, Tablet PC does not take information from fingers or your shirt sleeve thereby leveraging you to rest your wrist on the screen and write naturally. Thus the PC becomes more comfortable and easy to use because of interacting directly with the screen. The hassle of handling the mouse or keyboard is now a matter of past. No need to find a flat space to put your PC on; nor is there the disturbance of a vertical screen becoming a dividing wall between you and the person you interact.

Taking the freedom of usage even further, Tablet PC allows you to use them while you are in a standing position. It is certainly a great privilege for professionals like doctors, foremen, and sales managers who are mostly on the move. Within a short time of their initiation, this power packed, small device got immense popularity. Different versions of Tablet PCs are available in the market. One can get them in the size, processing speed and design of his choice.

Website analysis is the key to more profits online.

What a lot of people who hope to make a living on the Internet do is throw up a site and hope it sells. They use a “hit or miss” approach. More often than not they miss. You see, it’s really not enough to have a great looking site. The big question is… “Does the site actually sell?”

How do you tell? The answer is simple. You set up tracking software and perform some simple website analysis. For instance, in the offline world one of the tried and true methods of improving response is to do an “A/B Split Test”.

You take 1,000 names and mail 500 of them one version of your sales message. The other 500 get the same message except for one change. Maybe you put a different headline in the second batch of letters. Maybe you offer a different price. Whatever. The key is to make only one change and then compare the results.

Usually, one mailing will out pull the other. You can do the same thing online. Actually, with modern technology, it’s even easier. By using tracking and testing software you can rotate headlines, prices, offers and whatever else you want.

Then you do a little website analysis to see which headline, price, offer, etc. gives you the best response. As you tweak each element of your site, you improve sales little by little.

But each increment adds to your revenue. Think about this: By doing a little website analysis – and making appropriate changes – you could increase response and sales by 1% per month. Do that for the entire year and your overall response shoots up to 12%.

That’s huge considering the average website tops off at a 2% response rate.

And that’s the whole point of doing website analysis. You make simple changes to your website in a scientifically controlled environment. In other words, the changes you make are deliberate and can be tracked. Then, you get the results based on testing, analyze those results and make the necessary adjustments (i.e. use the headline that brought in a greater response) to boost your sales.

If you were to do this type of simple website analysis on an ongoing basis you would exponentially increase your results. What are some of the elements on your site to analyze? The ones that matter most include: headline, price, offer and list.

By running constant website analysis tests on these elements your bottom line revenue will soar. You’ll be able to make intelligent decisions to get your sites ranked higher, drive in more traffic, capture more leads and make more sales.

That’s the power of doing smart website analysis on a continual basis.

How to Choose Calcium Supplement

Let’s discover the exact keywords searched by your visitors AND the matching type of the triggering keywords!

The problem: the match type of your AdWords keywords is not tracked by default by AdWords or Google Analytics. Let’s you bid on red shoes (broad, phrase and exact match) and someone comes to your website after searching for Vancouver red shoes. The AdWords (or Google Analytics) reports will only display clicks coming from red shoes, without the match type information you need. Was it broad or phrase match that triggered your ads?

The solution: A nice combo of Google Analytics Filters and Advanced Segmentation:

There are three main steps to do it:

1. Tag the destination URLs of your AdWords keywords

2. In Google Analytics, create a separate profile to extract and replace the exact keywords searched by Googlers

3. Create advanced segments for broad, phrase and exact match

1. Tag the URL is your AdWords account

Because Google AdWords doesn’t automatically tag the destination URLs of your keywords with parameters meant to track the keyword match type, you’ll have to do it by yourself. This is relative simple (if you have a small number of keywords). Notice that each keyword should now have a destination URL. The easiest way to tag the keyword URLs it to copy them from your AdWords Editor and paste them in Excel. Then add the tracking parameter at the end of your website URL and upload them back to AdWords.

We are using the kmt parameter to track the match type of our PPC ads.

2. You will need to create a separate profile and apply a couple of filters to extract the exact searched keywords.

3. Create advanced segments for each match types:

To see the results, select the profile you created for this combo, go to the Keywords Report and then apply the advanced segmentation for the matching type you like to analyze.

s I was saying, the higher you are on search engines the more money you make. So, how will we accomplish that?

Google has Google’s LSI – Latent Semantic Indexing…. So we need to know how to make LSI work for us. A few years ago people could manipulate their position on search engines by method known as “Keyword Stuffing”. They would “stuff” their websites with keywords while trying to discover perfect keyword density that would give their site a top ten ranking.

Today, Google has developed more advanced algorithms, and only a few of Google’s engineers know how they work. You will find various SEO (search engine optimization) tips on the net saying that you need to put your keywords in the title of your web page, in title of the post in tags…but even that nor a lots of visitors doesn’t guarantee you higher position in search engines.

Trough advanced algorithms and word association Google is able to tell if a page with a word “mouse” is about animal or computer perihelia, by reading the whole content of the page and referencing its database. It also compares how the combination of certain words results in web page content.

So forget about copying text from other web sites because Google can see that too. So, if you write your web pages naturally you will have much chance in ranking higher on search engines. But, the keywords are important too…

For start you could copy the URL of the page that comes first when you type a certain keyword. You could then copy that site’s URL and paste it in some Keyword discovery programs to see what keywords are used on that web page. Study this results and use groups of related keywords with links on your page to develop strong on-page factors. But remember this is just a tip of the iceberg of SEO!

The World Wide Web has had a huge influence across the globe, it has changed from a research project into one of the most pivotal elements in modern media and commerce. This meteoric rise has meant a huge increase in advertising budget spent on on-line marketing as businesses flock to this new exciting medium in which to market and sell to their customers.

In the mid 1990′s the keyword tag was in regular use, its existence seemed justified – a useful way to direct search engines via “off page” entry’s. It takes the form of a number of, unsurprisingly, keywords that are picked to give context and description to the page.

This “off page” nature of meta-keywords seems to have been a pivotal factor in their apparent demise. If the visitor does not see the keywords then unscrupulous marketers can fill (or ‘spam’) the keywords with other unrelated entries. This fooled search engines by misrepresenting the content of the page. The corruption of the meta-keywords tag meant that its value to search engines became in doubt.

The biggest search engine in the world – Google – stated its place with regards to the meta-keywords tag in a recent posting to its Webmaster Central Blog. Matt Cutts, part of Google’s Search Quality Team, stated that Google does not use the meta-keywords tag to influence its search rankings and hadn’t done for a number of years. Furthermore, he added that although there is a possibility of Google using the meta-keywords tag in the future, a change of its current policy would be unlikely. Also, in recent times Cris Pierry, Senior Director of Yahoo! Search, was reported to state that Yahoo had stopped using the meta-keywords tag for search results.

If you are looking for a leading SEO company breaking new ground in the exciting world of online marketing remember that along with website design, search engine optimisation is a powerful tool for business promotion.

In many peoples eyes the meta-keywords tag seems to have run its course, a once useful indicator for search engines has become corrupted by the nature of their implementation and the World Wide Webs commercial success. Modern search engines have chosen to increasingly not rely on them to shape their search results, instead attempting to evaluate the content of the page independently. This in turn has lead to people attempting to fool the search engines in other ways, meta-keywords may have had their time, but the pressures to manipulate search results for commercial gain still remain.

Your title tag is an important part of your on-page search engine optimization efforts. It is a portion of your webpage that search engine spiders find very easy to scan over, so if it is done correctly, it will contribute directly to the success of your results.

The following changes to your title tag will help to better the ranking you achieve, and will therefore improve the number of targeted traffic you’ll have visiting your website:

- Include your keywords and key phrases in your title tag. Think of your title tag as a kind of store sign. Now, imagine that you are a customer, walking down the street and looking for a product, but cannot see inside the shops. So you can only read the signs. If you want to know where to buy the product you have in mind, you’ll be relying on the signs to guide you to the right shop. If the sign says “Bob’s Place”, you’re not going to learn very much. However, if the sign says “Jenny’s Painting and Art Supplies” you’ll have a much better chance at knowing whether or not the product you’re searching for is inside. Even if Bob’s Place had a much larger range of painting and art products, and at better prices, the sign didn’t tell you what was inside, so you went to Jenny’s Painting and Art Supplies instead.

This is exactly how the internet works. When prospective customers seek out a product using a search engine, they cannot see what is available at the website. They can only see what is in the title and description tag of the site. Furthermore, without using the right keywords within the title tag, search engine spiders may not be able to tell what your site is all about, and therefore may not rank it very highly in the right category. To make search engines work for you, you need to include your title tag in your search engine optimization strategy. If you happen to be selling painting and art supplies, make sure that the key phrase painting and art supplies is included in that title tag. When you do, you will dramatically increase your chances of being ranked higher in the search engines for your terms, and will be much more customer-friendly once you’re listed. For that reason, you have to make sure that not only will your title tag include the right keywords and key phrases, but it should also make sense to the prospective visitors to your site who will be reading it.

- Be certain to put your keywords and key phrases in the right order. Putting your keywords and key phrases in your title tag is only a part of the process. By placing it there, it allows the terms to become visible to search engine spiders. But there is more to it than just jamming the words in anywhere. Consider the following title tag examples:

1. Jenny’s painting and art supplies

2. Painting and art supplies at Jenny’s

Both of these examples are human-friendly, since they both make sense with regards to what they’re about. However, when it comes to search engines, it is the latter example that will make “painting and art supplies” the primary search terms, since they occurred first. It is typically most effective to include your company name or website name at the end of the title tag, and include the most relevant keywords and key phrases first.

- Make sure your title tag is attractive and legible to the reader. Though this won’t mean very much to the search engine spiders scanning over your web pages, it will help you get the attention of people scanning over the search results and deciding which ones to choose. Consider the following examples:

1. PAINTING AND ART SUPPLIES BY JENNY

2. PaInTiNg AnD aRt SuPpLiEs By JeNny

3. Painting and Art Supplies by Jenny

Though many people would automatically say that the third example is the most attractive, while the first and second examples are unappealing because of the improper use of capitalization, there is more to consider than that. In the first example, using all capital letters takes away from the importance you may wish to give a certain term, and may actually be penalized by some search engines. In the second example, the words are very challenging to read, and are a turn-off to many readers. It is indeed the third example that works the best.
