gets better standing by fair as well as natural web promotion services.
The following are expected to be accomplished by efficient web promotion services. Firstly, you
need to recognize and work out your site’s search engine-related problems .Secondly, explore and
generate the best possible keyword phrase selections for your site. It will be in your site’s interest
to build keyword phrase positioning. In other words, create page one listings on all the major
engines. Thirdly, execute tactics so that your site is search engine friendly. Always optimize,
promote, and maintain your complete site on a regular basis. Be sure that you carry out manual
submissions of your site to major search engines and directories. Ensure superior quality search
engine copywriting services for your website. It is imperative to provide coverage of noteworthy
modifications in your listing positions frequently. Finally, re-optimize and promote your entire web
site regularly.
As there are billions of web pages in the computer generated space vying for attention, it is crucial
that your website has an edge over the rest. There is a wide range of effective and affordable web
site promotion services to help drive traffic to your site. When you are in the online business it is
mandatory to master the art and science of web promotion services and be prepared to put the
experience and expertise work towards your advantage.
Web promotion services are all about long-term results .If you want your business to grow, you
need to put in persistent efforts on the right track. It is not sufficient to put up a website, start off
very strong in your promotional efforts, and gain some traffic and recognition, and then stop.
Instead, if you want to grow along with the internet and to continue to gain credibility and traffic
throughout a longer period of time, you must continue your marketing efforts for guaranteed
success. Website promotion services can help you with long term results to gain web visibility in

business once and only once for a shocking fee. Honestly, many a times, a service that works out
much cheaper will be a better option for a long term promotion. It can be rather easy for web
promotion services to bring in traffic to a website speedily. It may appear mind blowing initially, but
it will not last long. Web promotion should be solid and constant.
You need to go for those web promotion services that provide a wide range of marketing tactics.
As it is evident that the way the internet works changes so quickly, you need to arm yourself with
numerous techniques and marketing tactics that may provide you with a protection shield in case
something goes haywire. The practices of today may turn obsolete tomorrow.
It is mandatory to know how the internet works and keep updated and informed because your
income depends on it. You should not often go by theoretical knowledge or rules for web
promotion services. It often doesn’t work out because it isn’t exactly the manner in which the
search engines work. Information is constantly changing and you need to be better equipped for
adaptation and flexibility than your competitors.

Social Media Answers for your Business!
http://web20promotions.com
==== ====
“Do you have Facebook?”
“Yes, of course. But I don’t think you can find me, as there are too many people who have the
same name as me. Try searching with my surname as well.”
“Hey, you celebrated your birthday in K-Box, right? I saw the photos in your Facebook.”
“Bro, I saw your comments about the YouTube video that I’ve posted in my blog. I’m happy that
you are also deeply moved by the ‘Dancing Peacock Man’ as well.”
Social media or “social networking” has almost become part of our daily lives and being tossed
around over the past few years. It is like any other media such as newspaper, radio and television
but it is far more than just about sharing information and ideas. Social networking tools like Twitter,
Facebook, Flickr and Blogs have facilitated creation and exchange of ideas so quickly and widely
than the conventional media. The power of define and control a brand is shifting from corporations
and institutions to individuals and communities. It is no longer on the 5Cs (e.g. condominium,
credit cards and car) that Singaporeans once talked about. Today, it is about the brand new Cs:
creativity, communication, connection, creation (of new ideas and products), community (of shared
interests), collaboration and (changing the game of) competition.
In January 2010, InSites Consulting has conducted an online survey with 2,884 consumers from
over 14 countries between the ages of 18 to 55 years old on social networking. More than 90% of
participants know at least 1 social networking site and 72% of participants are members of at least
1 social networking site. On the average, people have about 195 friends and they log in twice a
day to social networking sites. However, 55% of the users cannot access their social network
websites at work. In the past, not many adults were able to make more than 500 friends, but with
social media, even a child or teenager can get to know more than 500 people in a few days by just
clicking the mouse. Social media has devalued the traditional definition of “friend” where it means
trust, support, compatible values, etc. Although we get to know more people, we are not able to
build strong bond with all the people whom we met as our available time is limited. Hence, there is
an upcoming social trend of people with wider social circles, but weaker ties (people we don’t
know very well but who provide us with useful information and ideas).
Social media also influences people’s buying behaviours. Digital Influence Group reported that
91% of the people say consumer reviews are the #1 aid to buying decisions and 87% trust a
friend’s recommendation over critic’s review. It is thrice more likely to trust peer opinions over
advertising for purchasing decisions. 1 word-of-mouth conversation has an impact of 200 TV ads.
With the prevalence use of social media, there is numerous news related to it from the most
viewed YouTube video on “Armless pianist wins ‘China’s Got Talent’” to Web-assisted suicide
cases (e.g. New Jersey college student who killed himself after video of him in a sexual encounter
with another man was posted online). Thus, does social networking make us better or worse off as
a society?
Positive Effects of Social Media
Besides having opportunity to know a lot of people in a fast and easy way, social media also
helped teenagers who have social or physical mobility restrictions to build and maintain
relationships with their friends and families. Children who go overseas to study can still stay in
meaningful contact with their parents. To a greater extend, there is anecdotal evidence of positive
outcomes from these technologies.
In 2008, President-elected Obama won the election through the effective use of social media to
reach millions of audience or voters. The Obama campaign had generated and distributed huge
amount of contents and messages across email, SMS, social media platforms and their websites.
Obama and his campaign team fully understood the fundamental social need that everyone
shares – the need of being “who we are”. Therefore, the campaign sent the message as “Because
It’s about YOU” and chose the right form of media to connect with individuals, call for actions and
create community for a social movement. They encouraged citizens to share their voices, hold
discussion parties in houses and run their own campaign meetings. It truly changed the delivery of
political message.
Obama campaign had made 5 million “friends” on more than 15 social networking sites (3 million
friends on Facebook itself) and posted nearly 2,000 YouTube videos which were watched over 80
million times. At its peak, their website, MyBarackObama.com, had 8.5 million monthly visitors and
produced 400,000 blog posts. In order to ensure that their contents were found by people, the
Obama campaign spent $3.5 million on Google search in October alone, $600,000 on
Advertising.com, $467,000 on Facebook in 2008, etc. Currently, Obama’s Twitter account has
close to 6 million followers.
In 2010, after the earthquake happened in Haiti, many of the official communication lines were
down. The rest of the world was not able to grasp the full picture of the situation there. To facilitate
the sharing of information and make up for the lack of information, social media came in very
handy to report the news about the affected area on what happened and what help was needed.
Tweets from many people provided an impressive overview of the ongoing events from the
earthquake. BBC covered the event by combining tweets from the work of its reporter Matthew
Price in Port-au-Prince at the ground. Guardian’s live blog also used social media together with
the information from other news organizations to report about the rescue mission.
It has been two years since CNN officially launched iReport as a section of its website where
people can upload video material, with contact information. During the Haiti crisis, CNN had
published a range of social media material but not all the materials were verified. The editorial staff
would vet the reports from the citizen journalists and labeled them differently compared to
unverified contents. On Facebook, a group, named “Earthquake Haiti”, was formed to show
support and share updates and news. It had more than 14,000 members and some users even
pleaded for assistance to the injured Haitians in the group. Using email, Twitter and social
networking sites like Facebook, thousands of volunteers as part of Project Ushahidi were able to
map reports sent by people from Haiti.
The most impressive part of the social media’s impact on Haiti is the charity text-message
donations that soared to over $10 million for the victims in Haiti. People interested in helping the
victims are encouraged to text, tweet and publicize their support using various social networking
sites. The Global Philanthropy Group had also started a campaign to ask wealthy people and
celebrities, like Ben Stiller and John Legend to use Twitter and Facebook to encourage others to
give to UNICEF. An aid worker, Saundra Schimmelpfennig, allowed the advice from other aid
workers and donors to post on her blog regarding to choosing which charitable organisations to
support. In the meantime, donors were asking questions in Twitter, Facebook and blogs about
their donations and endorsements of their favorite charities. After every crisis, the social media
for social cause becomes a more effective medium to spread the word.
Negative Effects of Social Media
There are always two sides of every coin. Social media is just a tool or mean for people to use. It
is still up to the users on how to use this tool (just like a knife, can help you to cut food or hurt
others). Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and Elon University’s Imagining
the Internet Center conducted a study on “The Future of Online Socializing” from the highly
engaged, diverse set of respondents to an online, opt-in survey consisted of 895 technology
stakeholders and critics. The negative effects presented by the respondents included time spent
online robs time from important face-to-face relationships; the internet fosters mostly shallow
relationships; the act of leveraging the internet to engage in social connection exposes private
information; the internet allows people to silo themselves, limiting their exposure to new ideas; and
the internet is being used to engender intolerance.
Some respondents also highlighted that there will be development of some new psychological and
medical syndromes that will be “variations of depression caused by the lack of meaningful quality
relationships”, and a “new world society”. The term, “Social Networking”, has begun to deceive the
users to believe they are social creatures. For instance, spending a couple of hours using
Farmville and chatting with friends concurrently does not convert into social skills. People become
dependent on the technology and forget how to socialize in face-to-face context. The online
personality of a person might be totally different from his/her offline character, causing chaos when
the two personalities meet. It is apparent in online dating when the couple gets together in face-to-face
for the first time. Their written profiles do not clearly represent their real-life characters. It is
more enticing for people to type something that others want to hear than saying the truth.
Besides the “friendship”, creators of social networking sites and users redefine the term, “privacy”
in the Internet as well. The challenge in data privacy is to share data while protecting personally
identifiable information. Almost any information posted on social networking sites is permanent.
Whenever someone posts pictures or videos on the web, it becomes viral. When the user deletes
a video from his/her social network, someone might have kept it and then posted it onto other sites
like YouTube already. People post photographs and video files on social networking sites without
thinking and the files can reappear at the worst possible time. In 2008, a video of a group of ACJC
students hazing a female student in school on her birthday was circulated and another video of a
SCDF recruit being “welcomed” (was hosed with water and tarred with shoe polish) to a local fire
station made its way online.
Much news has been reported about online privacy breach in Facebook and Facebook is
constantly revising their privacy policy and changing their privacy controls for the users.
Interestingly, even when users delete their personal information and deactivate their Facebook
account, Facebook will still keep that information and will continue to use it for data mining. A
reporter asked whether the data will at least be anonymized. The Facebook representative
declined to comment.
In the corporate world, human resource managers can access Facebook or MySpace to get to
know about a candidate’s true colours, especially when job seekers do not set their profiles to
private. Research has found that almost half of employers have rejected a potential worker after
finding incriminating material on their Facebook pages. Some employers have also checked the
candidates’ online details in Facebook pages to see if they are lying about their qualifications.
Nowadays, younger generations have a complete disregard for their own privacy, opening doors
to unwelcome predators or stalkers.

Web 2.0 Predictions of 2011
So here is our predictions for 2011!
2010 was a great year for Social Media and we see this trend growing so much more in 2011. But it will be different in a few ways. How you say will it be different? First Social Media will be even more mainstream in our lives. Information you need, products you want to buy, reviews you need to have, will all be done within your own personal network, your social media friends and followers. This will give you a great resource to use at the very tip of your finger. With convergence of all kinds going on, TV and Internet, etc. Your social media contacts will become more valuable to you then ever before. You will search for items within your friend/follower network and less in Google. Facebook will gain dominance in Internet Search.
The next major move, is mobile!! With the growth of social media and alike (Twitter) , the need to be able to access your network is extremely important. Having the ability to search the internet on the fly from your phone will greatly improve personal and business productivity. And now QR Codes coming of age, your mobile device will be highly important to you. Almost as important as your car. That may sound extreme, but have you ever left your phone home? How did that feel, see what I mean.
So where will all of this play out you ask? It’s all going local! Local will be the biggest migration from days passed. The more things change the more they stay the same. Why? People don’t really change and their likes and dislikes will always be the same. People like the convenience of buying online. They also like to “feel” and touch the items first too. So “local search” will be important for small business to understand and take advantage of the large social networks. To give you an example of how this may work. Let’s say I need to take a trip or go on vacation to a city I know nothing about. I go to my Social Network of friends and followers. Ask for recommendation of hotels and restaurants, places to visit etc. While traveling I get a text message of the current weather and traffic report of the city I’m going to. Cool!
Once there, I check-in (Foursquare) with my mobile phone to say I’m in the city. Now I can meet up with my Social Media Friends/family and alike. Use my GPS on my phone to locate the hotel and restaurants that was recommended. This is really just the tip of the iceberg, so many scenarios to consider.
So what do you do next on this first day of 2011? Build your social media network! Do your research on a good mobile phone/device. Stay connected locally too. Small Businesses have an open-mind to all of the opportunities you now have.
Who will be the winners and losers of 2011? Time will tell for sure. The Winners will be the people/small business owners who connect with Social Media and learn more about “ Local Search”. The losers will be those who don’t want to change and keep doing the same things in their lives/businesses. Whether we like it or not things will be different in 2011. Web 20 Promotions is dedicated to helping small local businesses to get more customers using social media and web 20 technologies. Thanks for reading have a Super Year!
