Art Exhibitions on Google

Having published my article just a few minutes ago, let’s see its immediate impact:

As per screenshot, you see that Art Exhibitions Websites is on Google Top 10 – rank 7 to be exact – within 14 minutes on 165 000 000 search returns!

Art Exhibitions on Google

Art Exhibitions on Google is just another demonstration of the efficiency of our WP based Semiomantics Scripts.

One investment – one setup – terrific results. And big savings over time.

Fine Homes at the top of Google

When it comes to Media Marketing Online regarding Fine Homes, Real Estate and Property there’s one place you need to be seen when visitors are looking for you: on Google Top 10. I refer to my article on “Fine Homes Websites” 22 hours ago HERE and wish to give you the evolution in terms of search engine optimization further down… you will find Fine Homes at the top of Google!

Fine Homes at the top of Google

After less than a day, “Fine Homes Websites” are at the top of Google regarding this specific keyword as you see on the screenshot below. I can’t tell you how fast the article got there as I just checked it now, after 22 hours. Enough to say: mission fullfilled – and this at no extra cost!

What price do you pay?

This is totally remarkable given the fact that I am neither a real estate agent nor do I have anything to do with property marketing – I focus on elegant and highly optimized custom Web Design for any field of interest. Neither do I have the help of a domain name nor can I look back on a history of targeted blogging in this field. So in a way I’m the new kid on the blog (!) with this article – yet we look again at the number one position on Google.

Ask yourself: what price do you pay to get there… that is IF you are there in the first place… and are you seen where customers are looking for your products and services?

If this is not the case and if your online advertising doesn’t get you the desired results despite the money you are spending on an ongoing basis, it may be time to reevaluate and contact me for a search engine efficient web design setup that will get you there… the proof is in the screenshot!

Gorgeous Gardens Website

Gorgeous Gardens is an important category on my new SHOWCASE under development featuring some of my web design, media design and digital photography over the past year. If you have a nursery, run a flower shop, grow plants or you just love gardening as much as I do and wish to share your passion, art and photography with the world, then consider working with me on your own, fully personalized and optimized Gorgeous Gardens Website. It won’t cost you an arm and a leg – but the joy and satisfaction it will bring you and anyone visiting your beautiful website is simply priceless!

Gorgeous Gardens Website

Creating a Gorgeous Gardens Website is about beauty – meaning captivating photography and why not drawings, sketches, paintings – art in brief. It strongly appeals to our fantasy and our senses – especially the visual sense… and if we all know how intense and exhilarating the fragrances can be!

Imagine a field of lavender buzzing with bees… a wild star jasmine snaking up its way in an old tree… not to mention a rose…!

Picking a wild berry and eating it straight from the twig while hearing the wind rustling through leaves, the cheerful songs of birds and the graceful sound of chimes projects us into a fairy world where we can release and let go… feel One with all that is and refuel on energy.

Gorgeous Gardens on Google

Sorry for pulling you out of the picture for a moment here – but as we are talking websites and web design: the fact is that what we see is only one part of the story.

The important tuning happens behind the scenes with the right script – I use WP based Semiomantics Scripts only – plus the right way of editing and publishing. It’s a Science by itself, but essential to reach top rankings on search engines.

Here is a screenshot of my first little post on that brand-new website yesterday and look how it performed on Google! “Gorgeous Gardens” on Google Top 10! Ahead of 16,6 million search entries!!!

Nursery or Flower Shop Owner?

What does this mean to you as a Nursery or Flower Shop owner?

At the end of the day you are running a business and your online investment into a pulling website should serve its purpose: bringing you customers that enable you to continue living your passion while giving them the best service!

Please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime and let me assist you in expressing yourself in an attractive and efficient way online.

You will simply love it…

Innovation Street on Google Top 10

Time to check the performance of my WP based Semiomantics website – so let’s see whether I find yesterday’s brief article on Innovation Streeton Google Top 10?

Yes – we do! Spot 10 on an incredible 226,000,000 search returns!

When checking before turning the lights off, I noticed it on spot 12… this morning it was on Google Top 10 – the place it deserves and captures, sooner or later and – guaranteed! On some very competitive keywords it can be a little longer, meaning it needs a few ‘shots’, however, eventually we get there! As I said to the CEO of Innovation Street today: the Formula 1 race today takes place on the Internet and the desired target is Google Top 10. Noone looks further, especially not on an iphone!

Innovation Street on Google Top 10

Innovation Street is on Google Top 10 not only as an article, but we also find the current placeholder image “under construction” I added to the article – a whopping spot 11 on 187,000,000 image search returns and… funny enough… quite a number of my other images feature here.

What is truly amazing is to reach these top rankings without help in terms of the domain name and no previous material posted.

With Semiomantics websites – setup and prepared by a handful of Semiomantics experts worldwide only – customers may have to swallow a fair yet solid initial investment – and everyone knows with the fast moving web there will be updates to always be on top of the latest technology. However, it’s good to know that this is a great way of reducing or even saying ‘good-bye’ to expensive daily, weekly and monthly online advertising budgets. A smart website like Semiomantics XO 2012 does it all… Of course, it means posting regular original content, it doesn’t quite fall from the sky – yet! But if it was your website… that’s exactly what you would like to do – tell the world what you have to offer, or?

Portraits of Africa 2012 on Google

Time again to monitor and check the performance of our new WP based Semiomantics XO 2012 Script on search engines.

Here’s a screenshot of yesterday’s post “Portraits of Africa 2012″ on Google – have a look! Positions 1, 2, 3 and 6 ahead of 10,800,000 search returns – YEBO GOGO!

Portraits of Africa 2012 on Google

When looking up “Portraits of Africa 2012″ on Google, I also checked how the images in my article were ranked – here’s the detail of the screenshot showing the Image of a “Young African Girl” on position one, followed by the Image of a “Young African Boy” on position 4… and a small ad I created ages ago peeking at us on position 2. All of them ahead of our South African presidents… just too funny! The young generation is on the move!

Portrait of Africa Images

It becomes even more intrigueing when we look up “Portrait of Africa Images” on Google and find these young faces of Africa featuring amongst some really classy photography! And again… the random positioning is just too weird… for those who read this and understand what I mean! Welcome to the future :)

Fact is, that with the increasing importance of images and media on the Internet – and with this for our website development – … and people preferring to look at something for quick grasping of the contents rather than reading long time-consuming – and even worse: thought-provoking -  texts… that the correct tagging and classification of photos and images becomes more important. Here as with any post what counts is to be found on Google – Google Top 10 that is. Noone else looks further…

Congratulations to our young friends who’ve made it to the top ranks and find themselves in interesting and attractive company! There will be more….

TOP SEO Performance on Semiomantics

Here’s today’s example of TOP SEO Performance on Semiomantics XO 2011 (soon to be updated to XO 2012):

Earlier today, I wrote a small article for Monkey Valley Resort on “Best Tapas in Cape Town” as that’s what Darren Byrne from Thorfynn’s Restaurant at Monkey Valley Resort wanted a photo of on a hot Saturday afternoon yesterday.

While his interest is that a maximum of people see the News and visit his restaurant, my goal as a web designer is to ensure the message I put out on the Monkey Valley Resort Website reaches Google Top 10 – meaning a maximum of traffic and visitors to the website. Here’s the resultrank 7 out of 709,000 search returns and climbing! Ammmazing – Ole!

TOP SEO Performance on Semiomantics

A day earlier, I prepared the brand-new menu en al for “Best Valentine’s Dinner Cape Town” on 14th February 2012 at Thorfynn’s Restaurant HERE and – lo and behold – captured position 5 within a few minutes… and -as I just tested – am holding it to this moment without further intervention or support – see the screenshot here (click on it to enlarge it):

Best Web Design South Africa on Semiomantics

And to end this post, the day before I followed a request by Monkey Valley Resort founder Judy Sole to promote ‘a bit more beach’ – and did a simple article “Visit Noordhoek Beach”. This post just shot up to spots 1 and 2 on Google Top 10 :

…and as I saw just now, after 2 days, it has captured even spot 3!

No doubt: Monkey Valley Resort has chosen simply the Best Web Design South Africa on Semiomantics – high SEO optimization, a captivating design and high functionality! Unbeatable and proven on a daily basis!

And as the Internet becomes increasingly sophisticated… quality counts!

Happy Weddings in Cape Town on Google

Monitoring our SEO results on a regular basis is an ongoing process – also in 2012. We are determined to give our customers the very best service and help them achieve high rankings on Google Top 10. This is nothing we can nor should take for granted as algorhythms change and so many relatively volatile factors are involved, however, keeping an eye on the pulse and being flexible allows to firstly observe any major changes and then adapt accordingly and as fast as possible.

In this respect, I watched the results of  “Happy Weddings in Cape Town” on Google – this being a short and sweet article published yesterday on the relatively new website I created for Monkey Valley Resort HERE.

The result – and this within only 42 seconds – was absolutely astonishing: Position One on Google ahead of 2,560,000 search results! See the screenshot I took yesterday, below:

Happy Weddings in Cape Town on Google

This morning – basically a little less than a day later – I wondered how the ranking would look now – and here is the even more spectacular result: Positions 1, 2 and 3 on Google Top 10!

Cape Town Weddings

What does this mean in terms of Cape Town Weddings and Monkey Valley Resort?

It’s quite simple – yet demands highly qualified skills and the right WordPress based Semiomantics Script to be achieved: if you take the above screenshot as an example, you see a typical Google page. There are Google Ads at the top (on a  yellow background), Google Ads to the right (continued to the next page indicating this is a highly sought-after keyword and gets lots of advertising) – and then you see basically 10 websites competing for the top 10 positions on Google (this is page one of Google with a total of 2,560,000 search returns… with always 10 websites per page… do your own maths as to how many Google pages on this keyword combination alone there are…!)

It means that the 10 websites who made it to Google Top 10 are visible for anyone punching in “Happy Weddings in Cape Town” – perhaps because that’s what they want to go for while planning for their own wedding… – and of course these 10 websites are the one’s these people will click on! Logical – who goes any further if what they are looking for is on the first page?

It means that these 10 websites who made it to the top get all the attention… the clicks… the so-called traffic! It means that the potential of making a sale is divided amongst those 10!

Of course, there are all these Google Ads – meaning the owners of those websites pay heavily – 24/7/365 – to be visible on Page one on Google and get attention as well! It means that heavy Google Ads budgets are allocated each and every month – short-term, medium-term and long-term… and forever rising. A budget of $50 a day brings you nowhere given the price a click can cost these days! So do your maths again… and decide what makes more sense: investing in the right website (yes, there are updates and upgrades as the Internet changes all the time, that’s just as it is…) or be dependent on heavy advertising without a guarantee to get it right (keywords move like mercury…)

Google Top 10

The choice is – as always your’s! Nothing stops you from doing both: getting the right website and advertising with AdSense. But if you’re on a tight budget the answer is pretty clear – yes?

What is needed, however, is regular posting, meaning writing good content on a daily basis to keep things moving and alive. The Google spyders like to be stimulated and fed with new original material each day… and you may be in right competition on special keywords – like in this wedding example. In this case you either do it yourself, or you employ someone who takes on this important online marketing and publishing job – or you outsource to a professional who may be the best guarantee for continued success on Google.

Being visible on Google Top 10 – like you see above… meaning 3 positions of 10 on page one, means that you get 30% of the traffic! Meaning a large chance to get visitors to your website… and if your website is attractive and offers the answers and sales pipeline people are looking for, your online business will grow and bring you the desired success.

I hope I could explain this well and simple enough to respond to many questions received on the topic. It ain’t easy… I know! But being number one on a Formula One track ain’t either… and this is not much different, really!

If things aren’t clear yet, let me know…

Cape Town Christmas on Google

Loyal to our regular monitoring of the SEO performance of our WordPress based Semiomantics websites and blogs – our own as well as those of our valued customers – , I am extremely pleased to see an excellent Google ranking of my article “Cape Town Christmas Gift Fair 2011″ right on the brand-new Monkey Valley Resort Website! The website was basically released today!

Click on the screenshot to see it bigger…

Cape Town Christmas on Google

You will see that “Cape Town Gift Fair 2011″ ranks on positions 4, 5 and 6 on Google Top 10 – the place everybody interested in that keyword area is competing for… here on 2,300,000 search returns!

Save Money with a Semiomantics Website

How does this demonstrate how you can save money with a Semiomantics Website?

Well, the fight on the Internet highway is for a Google Top 10 position – either on the left side (see screenshot above), where there are 10 positions for super sexy websites and blogs that make it to the top – or on top (yellow area) and to the right where people spend continuously increasing daily budgets for Google Ads… simply to be visible when someone types this keyword string into the Google search engine.

Marketing with Google Adsense means being dependent short-term, medium-term and long-term as prices increase all the time… and to be efficient – meaning to get the traffic and visitors that might lead to eventual sales – one has to be visible 24/7/365… and that has its price. Don’t think you can get away with $50… there are keywords that cost more than that per single click. And this without any guarantees in terms of sales. Ever.

Whereas with a Semiomantics Website you invest once in a good Script, setup and Design… and you see top performance. Sure, you need to do your bit and publish regular good content… but that’s part of your online marketing anyway if you are selling anything – be it a product, a service or ad space – but at least here you can count on results…

So do your maths and contact us anytime when you are ready to do a Semiomantics online – on Google Top 10 that is!

Personalized Wedding Websites on Google

While our positioning on Google is certainly not a main priority when it comes to designing Personalized Wedding Websites, I am working on Semiomantics XO and it’s just in my virtual blood – and part of my daily routine – to observe and monitor my results on Google.

Personalized Wedding Websites on Google

And again – and this within minutes – a smashing result of being ranked on positions 5 and 6 on Google Top 10 – ahead of 20,5 million search returns:

Click on the screenshot above and you see it in the enlarged version for better reading.

Wedding Websites Ranking

Obviously, and as you can see from the amount of Google ads being placed on top and on the side of the Google Top 10 page and beyond, there is strong competition on the Wedding Websites ranking – and this means constant movement as new posts come in and join the race to the top of Google.

I am pleased to see that – even though this was sort of my first article in this particular project – the article is still ranked on spot 5! Brilliant performance on Google!

Weddings at Monkey Valley Resort

It’s not the first time I’ve been working on Weddings as a theme… and its naturally one I like as there’s such a special flair around this whole event in a couple’s life. . . ideally melting two individuals into ONE. One wants to add to the happiness and the promise of this new beginning…

Monkey Valley Resort Website

The new Monkey Valley Resort website development nears its completion!

Monkey Valley Resort Website

The integration of the Booking System at Monkey Valley Resort seems to be more complex than expected; accordingly, I still wait for the integration link to finish off the website and take off the front slider that points out that this is a website built on a WP based Semiomantics XO – the best script out there when it comes to visibility on Google!

Obviously, it’s then a matter of doing regular editing and publishing of good original content to keep the positions in the keyword areas targeted; however, from the results seen so far – be it for the Best Cape Town Conferencing Venue, the Best Cape Town Weddings, Thorfynn’s Restaurant Christmas Lunch or the New Year’s Eve Spectacular or Monkey Valley Resort – well, as the results clearly have shown, the initial investment in the right website has paid off manyfold! And this before its completion!

Semiomantics Website or Google Ads

Either you ensure your presence on Google top rankings by regular, daily Google ads – which is quite costly given the fact that you can’t go far even with $50 a day given the constantly rising cost – that’s dependancy short-term and long-term – or you invest once in the right Script and capture top entries on Google Top 10 on your desired keywords.

Monkey Valley Resort has made a smart choice with their new Semiomantics Website… it has paid off right from the start… and noone stops anyone from adding Google Ads… but now it’s a choice depending on one’s budget, it’s no longer a must. Be on the smart side of Internet Marketing; invest in an attractive and search engine efficient Semiomantics Website!

Table Mountain a Winner on Google

Following yesterday’s article on “Table Mountain a Winner” – we have a double whammy when we look at what Table Mountain a Winner is doing on Google in terms of search results!

Table Mountain a Winner on Google

Within an hour, my article on Table Mountain a Winner made it to position 3 on Google – ahead of 2,2 million search returns!

There’s no secret – either you abandon yourself to constantly increasing advertising budgets on Google Ads or you invest in a solid WP based Semiomantics Script, have it setup and tuned by a Semiomantics expert, learn how to edit and publish in a smart way – and do this regularly… and if you got your keywords right there’s no way stopping your success! We at Semiomantics ensure you get there… we’ll work on this together with you until! In fact, you don’t even get the website before it happened!

Simple, fun and magical – just see these daily results… the proof is in the screenshots!

Brave Green Kids on Google

Quick results from our post about the book launch “Brave Green Kids” on Google!

Brave Green Kids on Google

Beating hard competition, the new website Monkey Valley Resort captured positions 2 and 3 for “Brave Green Kids” on Google Top 10!

Brilliant performance for a brand-new website that’s still under website development!

Semiomantics Web Design

Semiomantics Web Design paired with continuous posting via smart Online Publishing are the key to not only gaining top positions on search engines like Google – but also keeping them!

Hot Water on Google

Time for a quick check-up as to the performance of our current website development “Monkey Valley Resort”… here specifically as to how my article earlier today on the South African Band “Hot Water” ranks on Google.

Hot Water on Google

As you can see on the above screenshot, my article on Hot Water is on Google Top 10 right away… and this on 14 million search returns! That’s what I call cool – and it’s Semiomantics, what else?

Jokes aside, this is indeed a fantastic SEO performance – and here I am not talking about my own performance but that of  Monkey Valley Resort – the new website I am still completing! Seeing it grabbing positions 3 and 4 on Google Top 10 within just a few minutes just makes my heart smile!  Results like these – especially where my customers are concerned – give me the daily kick to continue these sometimes really not easy and very strenuous and time-consuming tasks, especially on terribly slow connections these days and a computer that’s running regularly out of memory… I will have to live with this for a small while still… but can’t wait to upgrade… drastically that is!

Besides, I was told that as per mid 2012 we may have optic fibre cables in South Africa and connections comparable to Europe… they’re as far as Nigeria… and we are at the far tip of the continent. So there’s hope and more on that in another post :)

World Design Capital 2014

Truthful to our mission to regularly monitor the results of our articles on our WP based Semiomantics Scripts in terms of their Google performance, let’s have a look at the latest buzzword especially down here in Cape Town, South Africa: “World Design Capital 2014″! WOOHOO! That’s the award the Mother City received today… and the town is shaking!

World Design Capital 2014 on Google

Despite the fierce competition following the exciting announcement this morning, you see on the above screenshot to which rank exactly my article earlier today – READ HERE -  has made it: Position 3 on Google Top 10! That’s worth a celebration too!

The Importance of being part of a Network

As you may notice, the article is carried up to this high rank through the YORGOO Publishing Network, of which I am a Co-Founder. So far, the article on my Author Blog has made it to page 4… and it will probably continue to climb.

We see very clearly the importance of being part of a Network: whether your article reaches maximum exposure on Google Top 10 with your own blog or whether it’s been carried there through your network – all links and credits staying intact of course – does not really matter here… as long as you get there. From experience we know that – ultimately – the original article makes it there and… it sticks.

This exactly is the interest of everyone who has a product or service to sell online: to be visible on Google Top 10 to attract people looking for them – provided they target correctly in terms of keywords. Being part of the YORGOO Publishing Network has its merits – all our Web Design customers know that and benefit from extra exposure… meaning more traffic… meaning more visitors… meaning more conversion… meaning everybody is happy!

KIVA South Africa on Google

While understanding and integrating Social Networks into our Internet Marketing strategy is essential in today’s online environment, the fact remains that Google still holds the reigns quite tightly when it comes to capturing the main traffic – meaning when people look for something specific on the net, punching in a keyword string – eg. ‘KIVA South Africa’ – be it for research, mere interest or to buy, with the credit card between their teeth :)

KIVA South Africa on Google

Designing exclusively on our own sophisticated WordPress based Semiomantics Scripts includes regular monitoring of our results, meaning the visibility and performance of our articles and posts – yes even mere images – on Google Top 10.

Two days ago I wrote a little post about my new venture into a Social Network with a twist that makes sense in that it supports less advantaged people in poor countries (well… not only…) to build and sustain their business by means of loans, especially when times are tough or an accident or natural desaster has brought them to the verge of collapse. The name is KIVA and you are welcome to find out more by clicking on the link here.

However, my main issue here is: How did my article on KIVA South Africa perform on Google?

Well, a picture – or in this case a quick screenshot – talks more than many words.  It did exactly one shot with no help in terms of relating domain names … I had just started this whole journey – and what you see is that even today, 2 days later, my article is still on position 6 on Google Top 10 ahead of 939,000 search returns! Not a big number in Semiomantics terms, but just another proof in terms of efficiency and reliability:

Semiomantics – what else

Get your websites and blogs to Google Top 10 with  Semiomantics – what else?

Google or Social Networks

When looking at a monthly or annual marketing budget, the question that may present itself to many people today might be: what do I focus on… Google or Social Networks genre Facebook, Twitter and Empire Avenue?

While there’s a lot of confusion out there – and no wonder with such rapidly changing scenarios – the answer is simple and very straight: in today’s global and very competitive business environment on the Internet – a platform responsible for explosive sales around the world – the question is no longer about Google OR Social Networks… it’s both!

Yes, it’s getting frantically hectic… and the reality is that as Internet marketers – or serious business owners with a vision – we have to build our authority in both: Google AND Social Networks!

Google or Social Networks

Certainly, Google still is the biggest magnet – or sort of reflex – when people search something on the Internet, there are many people who consider Social Networks, eg. Facebook – as THE Internet! This is a huge market that needs to be addressed in terms of marketing efforts.

On Social Networks though the game changes… marketing becomes entirely trust- and relationship-based, people believe people they know much more than what the advertising industry tries to push down their throats.

When my trusted friend tells me that a restaurant is just simply sublime, I will go there… taking some friends along probably and knowing the experience will be super… based on the recommendation of a trusted friend.

While one may debate as to how much a ‘friend’ on Facebook is a ‘friend’, however, many families that link and communicate and have just some friends join them without any interest in building large social networks with something other than communciation and fun in mind … certainly form a unit that exchanges information that will be channelled in one way or another.

Accordingly, online marketing – and advertising as a whole – has to rethink its strategies… and this is happening everywhere right now.

Empire Avenue Education

Empire Avenue offers great education for human behavior – besides offering excellent ways for people to connect with likeminded people. I have not been spammed once! And I’ve been able to communicate in a fun and interesting way with a number of fantastic people where I want to continue, learn more, hear more and why not do business together when and if it’s requested? If they see my way of building trust and helping others achieve higher scores… seeing just simply who and how I am – well, that certainly is quite a foundation to continue from – isn’t it?

Have a look at it HERE and see if it’s for you. It certainly will expand your expertise in terms of Social Media Marketing Online.

And lastly: the above result was reached with my article a few hours ago: GOOGLE Top One on 1,790,000 search returns within 25 seconds… of course on Semiomantics :) Ask me how :)

Empire Avenue Online on Google

Following yesterday’s article entitled “Empire Avenue Online” HERE, I did my usual check to see the performance of this article on Google.

Well… I hardly ever look any further than Google Top 10 – why?

That’s exactly where people who are looking for something on the Internet would look… meaning 10 websites on the left side and a number of expensive Google Ads to the right… and sometimes on top.

Click on the picture and see exactly where my article went… or go and check it now, a day later… and it’s still there.

Why? Because I invested in building my knowledge over many years in the monthly fully online Ycademy Seminars and Workshops I host, I became a Semiomantics Expert – which is the best performing WP based Script on the Internet and I don’t use anything else but the best… whatever the best may be – and with this combination I can provide all my customers with astonishing results like this one… Follow through many other examples which will all blow you away.

The fact is: they keep blowing ME away as well as they are just so absolutely unique… and all this for a fraction of Google Ads that make everyone dependant on rising freakin’ budgets short-, medium- and longterm.

Empire Avenue Online on Google

The example “Empire Avenue Online” on Google as demonstrated as per above can apply to just anything.

Whatever you sell and promote – be it yourself, a product, a service or other peoples’ ads… your main objective is to be found on Google Top 10 and… Social Media like Facebook, Twitter and… I would add to this Empire Avenue, definitely.

I am still very new to that program and can say it taught me a lot and – while all this is a fun game with virtual investments – we learn about human behavior, including our own LOL…. and what counts most for me personally at the end of the day is to have exposure and find and be found by the right people!

The right People to click with

What are the right People to click with?

Well – astonishingly, this works well – or even better online than offline as while one doesn’t see one another or touch each other physically and limiting factors like money, color, age, gender and all the fluff and stuff fall aside… there are other factors that count: how people react, relate to one another, express themselves, present themselves and – once a closer connection has been established – how the words, the minds and the hearts actually connect and find common ground from which something new can grow.

Online Communication.

This is what makes Empire Avenue attractive to me and some great connections have been created this far! Besides, my trip around the world is taking shape LOL and who knows? not only virtually :)

Huh, what a word for a misty Thursday… that’s it for today :)

Empire Avenue Online

Following my recent article on Social Media Marketing in 60 Seconds – which by the way ranks on Google Top 10 – , there’s no way any online marketer or ambitious business owner on the Internet can ignore or avoid the ‘social factor’ – like it or not.

What’s really fun in my view is if a program comes up that goes beyond 14 words and actually not only trains our creative muscles but also keeps the brain cells spinning while being pretty close to the ‘real’ thing in terms of the Stock Market. The program I am referring to is Empire Avenue – CLICK HERE to get the idea. All online of course… and set in a much gentler ‘economic’ environment so to speak :)

Call it the EA Stock Market Online.

Empire Avenue Online

In Empire Avenue Online you basically enter a large online trading platform where you present a stock market value and the idea is to grow your stock market value online in a smart and spiffy way. Doing thisincludes activities across many social media platforms like Twitter, facebook, Google+, YouTube, LinkedIn and your blogs – the idea being that every click counts, each activity that adds to the cyberspace communication pool (or cyberwaste plethora…) counts for you, growing the stock market moloch.

One may not be attracted to this ‘cold’ and ‘sterile’ side of things of course. Trading short-term implies that one has to trade hard and without emotional attachments to rise one’s value and from there to build some form of authority – at least in the beginning…

It’s a tough one for anyone with slow lines, especially for us South Africans moving at 384 kpbs or so compared with speeds of 16,000 and 24,000 in the ‘developed’ countries… However, at the end of the day one should not forget that this is a social medial platform where we want to meet, exchange ideas and – eventually – do business together.

I’ll be back with more…

PayPal and E-Tourism Africa on Google

A few minutes ago, I posted my article on “2011 E-Tourism Africa Summit” HERE. While this article is already on Google Top 10, what interested me here was the performance of my Chapter on “PayPal and E-Tourism Africa” on Google. Let’s have a look – just click the screenshot to see it in a bigger version:
