Above All Tell it Like it Is!

I spend a lot of time on the Internet, researching information on different topics, including online advertising. One of the things that is really distracting is the flashy advertising that can be seen on a large number of websites. There are some sites that I will not visit, simply because their advertising is so flashy it just gets in the way of having a good user experience. I believe most of these companies think you have to catch peoples attention with big graphic images in order for a customer conversion to take place. I have spoken with several engineers, in various industries, who have expressed the same thoughts related to extreme online banner advertising. If I do see an article that I wish to read, with an iterating banner of flash ad, I squeeze the ad off the page if I can, by making the browser window smaller. I have even use the no ad display addon options for various web browsers in order to prevent any of these ads from being displayed. All the companies that overuse ba

I read an excellent article this morning at: http://www.seo-news.com/ The title of the article was "Avoid Search Engine Blacklisting" The author went over a number of key points about what individuals should do in order to not become blacklisted. The question I have for everyone, is should this also apply to other search engines themselves? Take a close look at the results. Note update 10/31/05: Results have changed significantly since writing this posting. Maybe some good is coming out of this reporting. Example searches: B2B from legal, ethical and regulatory perspective b2b and b2c ethics Are there two sets of rules? One set for individuals and another for other search companies? Should the same rules apply to all? Things can get frustrating for those of us that are trying to do it right, when we see things like this. I am not saying that we never make mistakes in the way we fine tune our pages for the search engines but how do you go up against something like this? Note:

Is it alright to have other search engine results inside a search result? Before you answer that question I suggest you read this about copyright legal issues . Study the Results. Note: By the time you read this the search results will probably have changed. I will have to show a picture most of the time in the future... Warning Note: Do not try to save the results and then try to display them again, (even if the idea is to display a copyright infringement or other ethical / legal violations) because the search results will show the page again... I found out the hard way... Above All, Tell It Like It Is, and Do It with Style!

Branding is an art form The Art Of Branding The definition of branding varies all over the board. There are some very specific definitions, as well as a more expansive and completely encompassing definition of what a brand is. The one that I believe is really at the heart of the matter is: "A brand is a collection of perceptions in the mind of the consumer" . All companies are in the process of branding themselves. That is not implying they are all aware of it. How well they do this, depends on being aware of the process. excerpt from: How Do B2B And B2C Use Branding Online? Article by: James A.

Whose page is it? The following was an exercise in online discovery and looking at the search results in various search engines. Then comparing those search results against the actual pages displayed in the result and asking a simple question as a thesis. If the majority of the search results, within any one search result, display web page results from a select group of websites or websites owned by someone else, then whose page is really being displayed? Compare the search results below, and notice the patterns. All links should open in a new window, but the same new window. Note: Over time I suspect the search result patterns will drastically change. We will have to analyze it every so often and see what changes occur over time.

B2B Defined Business to Business (Selling to other businesses) Any business that sells mainly to other businesses is considered business-to-business or B2B for short. Other countries sometimes use B to B for short. B2C Defined Business to Consumer (Selling to consumers) Any business that sells directly to consumers, for the most part is considered business-to-consumer, B2C, or B to C for short. Companies can be both B2B and B2C at the same time. Target markets for each of these areas are handled differently. B2B generally takes more on the front end to make a sale, although places like office supply outlets create B2B accounts for their business customers, and businesses will generally keep coming back to a self serve eCommerce website to place additional orders without ever talking with a salesman. No matter which company you are classified under, or the differences between B2B or B2C for closing a sale, the emphasis for marketing and advertising online is to get your message in fron

B2B and B2C Marketing Ethics In Business And Advertising ethics and B2B The unsolicited computer phone calls… How many of you out there want to voice your frustration about being interrupted in the middle of dinner by those nagging automated computer calls? After putting in a long day of work I come home and just want to relax. Instead, I receive this automated dialer phone call with a long lag, at which a marketing person comes online and tries to sell you something that you don’t want to even hear about. The list of numbers comes from a database that is sold to these marketing people. For database removal listings go here: http://www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/Victims/list_removal.htm I have installed a little device that is supposed to stop most of these by sending a little ping or some sort of signal when the phone is picked up. This then signals the data base that your number is not a good number and the connection does not go through. After several months of using it my wife and I

How many of you out there have too many email addresses and not enough time to continually log in to each one? Well, if your like me I have numerous ones that I need to be in touch with on a regular basis. I don't have time to check them individually. For the past year or so I have been using ePrompter™ , a program that monitors them for me. It sits in the lower right hand corner of my tool bar and displays a different colored circle with a number in it. Each color represents a different mail box. When an email arrives at one of the mail boxes the number count is updated and a little ping goes off to let you know you have mail. The neat thing about this one is that it does not display full graphic images, but it does display url links. This makes it very easy to preview the email. If you want to view all the graphics later then you can use your

B2B B2C Marketing Ethics In Business And Advertising Ethics Here is another area of Business Marketing and Advertising Ethics that really tics me off! The unsolicited Faxes. Every day I receive at least one unsolicited FAX. Guess where they get my number from… I am sure there are robots that continually cruise the net and log in phone and fax numbers and then these businesses turn around and sell the lists to people that try to market there product directly to you. At the bottom of the fax is a number to call to be removed from the database. My gut feeling is at times that if you respond to this number that just confirms the number to the database. I know there are laws on the books for this… These laws are not working. Fax do not call lists.
