SEO and Marketing Scammers** Because they are real. A couple of days ago I received a text message (SMS) to my phone informing me that my site was about to be de-listed from Google. It went on to say I needed to contact the sender within 3 days to keep my Google listing active. The good news is it would cost only $40 and they can assure me it won't happen if I hire them because they are Certified Google Search Partners. Yes, there are Google Partners. No, they do not have any special powers. Today Mike and Ken (that's me) will discuss these types of scams and how to avoid becoming a victim. Today's show is 30 minutes and you can either ask a question in the chat room or by calling in. Both require us to be live.

Today Mike and Ken are discussing how deeply social media infiltrates our personal lives and how we can leverage that for our campaigns. While we never suggest hijacking someone's life for your business purposes, it is important to know and understand how weaving into today's framework of living can help all of use together.   Ken is @thekencook Mike is @mikemueller http://areweconnected.com Always a very special thank you to Kevin MacLeod for the use of his great music available at incompetech.com 00:31:00SMEDGEnosocial media,business,marketingHow deeply social media penetrates our lives -- and how you may leverage that for your business.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/smedge/2017/08/15/planning-launching-and-managing-your-next-web-ventureBusinesshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/smedge/2017/08/15/planning-launching-and-managing-your-next-web-venture/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/smedge/2017/08/15/planning-launching-and-managing-your-next-web-ventureTue, 15 Aug 2017 15:00:00 GMTPlanning, Launching, and Managing Your Next Web VentureSo, you're going to launch a new website and dominate the market! Possibly. If you really are then I bet there already has been a lot of planning, consulting, and even hiring of professional development teams. Not all ventures are huge, multi-million dollar launches--but even a solopreneuer needs to follow some simple guidelines to help reduce the likelhood of early termination. Everything from message development to method of sharing the message can be critical for an early stage venture. Clarification and simplification of your message (you'd be surprised how many businesses I [Ken] have worked with over the years who cannot tell me in a short sentence what they do). Branding--colors designs--also is very important because it's the instant image of your message. Flow chart of how the process from interest to prospect to customer to referal agent progresses. And much more! Both Mike and Ken have many years of experience working in business development with small to medium organizations. What we've learned from our own mistakes and the mistakes of our clients in spite of our direction could fill a volume. Today we're sharing it in a few minutes of talk time.

How important are 5 star ratings?Ken rates Mike's show idea 5 stars. Ken was going to talk about Business Bullying (like 1 star ratings for no apparent good reason) but Mike wanted to talk about the importance of and how to get Five Stars. It's going to be fun because Ken is going to confess his star rating criteria. Mike and I are both small business development professionals. Much of what we do revolves around public perception of our clients. We talk with them about things like Yelp and Facebook ratings. I have just completed a fairly involved online ratings system for real estate agents which has a couple of twists and curves. Last year I developed a pretty intense condo review site for Toronto which allows star ratings. Today we're going to discuss the importance of understanding the power of ratings, why the BBB is still in business, and what you can do to increase your likelihood of getting 5 stars. Not 4, not 2, but 5. So basically all of them. All the stars. 00:46:00SMEDGEnobusiness,marketing,Advertising,real estate,facebookMike had an epiphany--or something like that.

First we'll define what a server is--many people don't understand. Then we'll discuss how the HTML on the server you are using gets to the people who are viewing your pages and content. Then we'll discuss other attributes and services that come on the web server. Did you know, for example, there are mutliple "servers" on the one computer we call a server?

The Internet changed marketing forever. It will never be exactly like it was in cold-calling, post-card mailing, Yellow Pages days. Even that we had nearly 100 years to figure out and people still struggled with it. So let's talk about the carnival barker or the hot-dog hawker. You'll see a common thread there and it's plainly seen: Sell what you have and nothing else. "Hot dogs! Get your fresh red hots right here! Hot dogs!" That is *ALL* the hot dog hawker says. "Cold beer! Get you ice cold beer here! Cold beer!" That is *ALL* the beer hawker says. "Peanuts! Peanuts! Get your salty, crunchy peanuts!" "Step right up, step right up! See the bearded lady! There's no one like her anywhere else in the world. She's the real deal, a one of a kind. Step right up!" I think you're getting the point. Join Mike and me today as we discuss how these age old methods still work in the Internet age and why we've seen many people flop because they don't use them. We'll be talking about things like the 365 things to do that flopped for so many real estate agents. We'll be talking about major brands and how they succeed online. Then we'll be talking about how to use this method in Social Media without driving your *friends* nutso!

In case you did not know that stands for Content Management System. We're speaking about Web Content, of course, and really CMS - whether the big ones like WordPress, Drupal, Geeklog, Joomla, etc. or custom created ones as I do for many clients - are the rule instead of the exception today. We generally no longer need to have a web developer or content developer on hand to "make changes to our webpage" because it has become so simple to do so ourselves. In fact even though Mike and I perform a preponderance of services to WordPress users, we don't often get the chance to create many static websites. It does happen and we will discuss the why and what for about that. Join us today as we discuss more indepth what a CMS, how it works, why they are valuable, and maybe even if you should have one or not.

We will address some of the fears of letting go of the control we believe connectivity provides us. We will also discuss how to deal with clients who expect you to be instantly available, 24/7 and how to prep all of your clients for your away time. Both Mike and Ken spent the past weekend disconnected from the internet and fully engaged with nature.

Many people do so consider this therapy (for your infected network)On Friday, 12 May 2017, a ransomware attack named WannaCry was launched. It began on a single, compromised computer in Europe and almost immediately spread to over 230,000 infected computers in 130 countries. Three things made WannaCry an especially successful infection: (1) it made use of stolen National Security Agency (NSA) technology called EternalBlue (2) it focused on Windows computers which had not been security patched and (3) in addition to the worm it also made use of automated Phishing emails. Although Microsoft had issued a security update on 14 March 2017 which would have stopped the worm, there were still enough systems which had not been properly updated to allow the attack to proliferate. It all could have stopped before it started if everyone simply followed the basic rules of personal cyber defense: (1) Always keep all software and your operating system updated (Mac, Linux, and Windows are all exploitable) (2) Use extreme caution when dealing with email    (a) Never open an attachment you did not 100% expect to receive    (b) Always verify links sent to you in email (hover your mouse to check their destination before clicking - learn how to recognize suspicious URLs)    (c) Make sure your antivirus includes email scanning (3) Keep a regular backup of all your sensitive data on a non-networked storage device (the cloud, a thumb-drive, a detachable external disk drive, etc.) Update and back-up immediately regardless of which operating system you are using. While this first round is defeated there is a high likelihood of a re-launch as early as today, 15 May.   Thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the great intro music!

Allegedly, the owner of the landscape company didn't feel compelled to wait at an intersection so he drove over the curb to get around the other vehicles and went on his merry way. One of the people in the traffic texted the number on the side of the truck with a complaint. The texter did not know this was the owner in the truck (although many landscaping companies are very small businesses) and was surprised at the response. In fact, quite shocked at the response. The text screenshot then made it's way onto social media in a busy city group on Facebook. The admin turned off comments at 108. The text of the response goes something like this: "Boo hoo *itch... I don't need your business. Sincerely, (landscape company!"

Superior organizations aren't known for abusing employees or customers (and if it happens, they fix it). Amazon did not come to be a giant (THE giant) by making demands but rather by meeting demands. Today, Ken and Mike will be discussing methods they have used and seen used to successfully attract and keep customers and in return receive kind words and even successful referrals. While the term "social" is still the first name of "Social Media" it is possible for a business, your business, to positively impact the online community by brining knowledge, a peaceful experience, and generally "the warm fuzzies" to the stream. Especially at points of high turmoil, it is possible for even small business owners to make a big difference in how people feel about themselves and therefor doing business with that business person.

If you're still not understanding what Social Media can do for you, your group, your business, your customers, your church, your election campaign, your mountain biking event, your high school reunion, perhaps you will after this discussion! You may be surprised what you can teach us, too. Plus: there are thousands and thousands of themes. Most are free. So how do you know which one is right for you? Is there a way to find out which theme a competitor is using? Word of caution: just because you see the theme in the demo look a certain way *never* means yours will look that way "out of the box". Many of them are highly customized. Some are customized well beyond the capabilities of even advanced users and require experienced WordPress coders to match the look.

Great experiences and horrible experiences stand out. But, we wager the memories of average experiences just fade with time. For example, Ken has had great experiences with Amazon; order something you need and it comes as soon as that day. While we do not intened to simply discuss experiences they may come up as examples. Rather, we intend to think like customers and discuss things from blogging to social, and even mobile experiences from a customer's view point. Join us in the discussio in the chat room or, if you have a relevant point of conversation, call the guest line and join us on the air. As always we will have Mike's and Ken's featured tool segment as well as playing a round of Rapid Fire.

He recently launched a new organization with a different perspective on some basic prinicples. What may be called a revival of business intelligence, Patrick has unleashed Prismana. Today we will hear from Patrick exactly what Prismana is, what it does, how it does it, and why you probably need it. Prismana can effectively eliminate the need for the following: expensive external call tracking servicescomplicated and expensive funnel serviceslanding pages (yes, no need for them anymore)asking the question "how did you find us?" and expecting a clear answer The big benefits of Prismana are that it's a) easy to implement, b) easy to use, c) cost effective, and d) doesn't require you to change your systems or process to use it. You are not shackled to Prismana so if you stop using it nothing changes except you go back to not knowing what's driving your sales. There's no migration. There's no extra systems or expensive add-ons. It just does its thing and frees you up to do yours.    Ken is @thekencook at http://thekencook.com Mike is @mikemueller at http://areweconnected.com 00:46:00SMEDGEnomarketing,Business Intelligence,business,informationThere are a lot of very sophisticated, expensive lead attribution solutions out there that claim to do a lot of things that realistically aren't possible withouhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/smedge/2017/03/07/throwback-tuesday-special-guest-jason-crouchSocial Networkinghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/smedge/2017/03/07/throwback-tuesday-special-guest-jason-crouch/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/smedge/2017/03/07/throwback-tuesday-special-guest-jason-crouchTue, 07 Mar 2017 16:00:00 GMTThrowback ...

If it were not for the occassional need for a custom WordPress plugin their probably would only be a 15 minute Social Media Edge Radio show (because that's how the time gets paid for!) So Ken and Mike know that plugins can be a little confusing, may not do exactly what you want, can be "manipulated" and should be used by everyone who has a WordPress website. As you should know we generally discuss self-hosted WordPress but some of these skills are crossover to WordPress.com sites as well. If you have a question about a WordPress plugin this is the time to get in the chat room or call in to the show while we are on live.

That's okay because this needs to be discussed. Twitter is very much alive and doing very well for many people. Today we're going to discuss how Ken still uses Twitter (even more than Facebook or LinkedIn) and gets a few leads with very little effort. Obviously if it works with very little effort to get a few leads then it stands to reason that by upping the effort the return will also increase. You really need to listen live and get in the chatroom to get the full benefit. But, since most people do not listen live we will do our best to make sure you get what you need. What you'll need for this show is a Twitter account, about 30 minutes of your time, and the desire to act on what you learn. Take the 60 day challenge and if you do not see results you'll be fully entitled to a refund of your cost of admission.

I bet you know what today is. Join Mike and Ken as we discuss many of the things we love about digital marketing, sales, community building, and more. Since we're both young at heart and have decades of experience at it, we're sure you're going to agree with many of these.

A lot of things are happening in the social network world right now and we don't have time to cover even all of the news. We're going to give you just the top news most relevant to you to get our day started. Then of course Mike and Ken will have our tools to share with you as well. The meat we're serving today is going to be about syndicating your content. Every blogger knows when you are first getting started building your community online it can be very difficult to get readers, shares, likes, and comments. Even if you've been doing it for some time it can still be very difficult. You really have to work it or have lots of bunny pictures. Syndication can help with that. By automatically posting your content to the social networks you can make a big impace. We're also going to talk about the need to do much more on those social networks than simply push your content out. Having nothing but automated posts can have a negative impact - so there is a balance you will need to find!

They probably also charged anywhere from $29.95 to $3000 for that info. Chances are some of them even told you blogging was dead, dead, dead. Well, we're here to tell you that they are both more alive than ever. Sure, the SEO landscape has changed many times. There's one thing that remains: Google (et al) want to deliver the very best search results they can for their customers. Their customers are anyone who types a search phrase in that search bar or who visits a page containing an AdWords campaign. You? Oh, as the publisher - your'e the product. Today we're going to discuss something that is more maligned and falsified than just about any other topic relevent to online marketing and especially content marketing. Join Ken and Mike as we discuss how to use combinations of keywords both in content and in purchasing online ads to make the best of your dollar. Learn how to cast a wide net and how to hunt with a spear. Learn the difference and why the cost/reward ratio can change drastically.

Episode 9.2On last week's episode, Season 9 Episode 1, we talked a little about the sales funnel, the sales cycle, and what to do with leads once you have them. Mike new right where to go for a great follow up so he invited Chris Drayer of Revaluate to join us for a segment this week. Revaluate is a real estate lead assistant program which helps you do more than "just stay in touch" with prospects. The idea does not have to end with real estate agents, though. What we learn today about the process can cross industries. Listen in as we discuss other hot topics, online marketing news, and chat with Chris!   From Revaluate: Beer, Big Data & Real Estate Sales Cycles Everybody moves - but the sales cycle can vary by decades. If they keep in touch with them, agents know when people are thinking of moving. Previously, the best way to stay in touch with people is probably to grab coffee or beers with them every so often. However, these days real estate agents typically have about 2,000 contacts comprised of friends and family, past customers, networking contacts and leads they've purchased.  That's too much caffeine and beer for a mere mortal - plus, it's time and cost prohibitive. Revaluate layers in big data intelligence and tracks your contacts to tell you who's most likely to move in the next 3-6 months - so you can grab a beverage with those prospects that are most likely to move. Revaluate sorts out the prospects from your contacts - helping you focus on the shortest sales cycles possible. 00:46:00SMEDGEnoreal estate,leads,sales,business,marketingKeeping prospects in the funnel and eventually transacting can be a long, involved process.

Bullying? Threats? On a real estate event bus? Rob Hahn is a well known and respected management consultant to the real estate industry. He is also known for plain talk and not pulling punches when a direct hit can save people from myths, misconceptions, or themselves.  Rob recently published a blog post titled The Biggest Pile of $#!7 I’ve Stepped In: A Followup and it started a little conversation firestorm that soon became hot! He'll be joining us today to continue the conversation and we hope you'll pipe up too. We've even extended today's scheduled episode time to accomodate. Part of this ongoing saga Ken would like to focus on are found in these two paragraphs: "Second, since I posted, Lab Coat Agents has gone on a censorship spree. Dozens, if not hundreds, and possibly more, people have been kicked out of the Facebook Group for raising the issue. Entire threads have been deleted. One person reported that comments are being deleted as fast as they’re posted. They have every right to do whatever they wish with their Facebook Group, but as a third party who offered them a chance to recount their version of the Conversation, this doesn’t look good for their credibility." I recommend you read the post(s) then listen to the show. Don't say TLDR because this is critical thinking fodder at its best.

We will be joined this morning by Randy Barnes who has poked at direction and branding many times and has enjoyed good success while he moved others to the back burner, or the round file. If he joins we'll be discussing a recent success that he had with a project called Hamburger Square. Some years ago we had a "Guru" from the real estate marketing world on the show and he and Ken had a little on air battle royale over "re-creating yourself (or your brand) in Social Media". That was some 6 or 7 years ago and Ken's version is alive and well. When something is not working, change it. That change may even include a re-branding of your services, a re-direction of your personal focus, or even a new "identity" for your business or yourself. The idea that we cannot re-label the things we do is absurd. "There are many reasons why a professional services firm might consider rebranding. Most of them are firmly rooted in a need to reposition the firm in the marketplace." - hingemarketing.com   00:38:00SMEDGEnoreal estate,marketing,social media,facebook,TwitterJoin us this morning as we talk about redirecting efforts in social.

He’s currently working with Humana in Louisville to help community organizations improve their social storytelling skills. His book, 50 States, 100 Days: The Book, is available now at his website, TeamStrub.com. Chris is going to answer questions about live streaming using social channels like Blab, Snapchat, and others.

The same goes for Social Media failure. We rely very much on "gurus" who are generally only regurgitating what they heard or read from some other "guru" who possibly extrapolated their own opinion about social vectoring and success. Forget that. Data ruins many great million sellers. Today we're talking about how to find out which Tweets and Posts work best for you so you can repeat that success in the future.We'll be looking at the built in analytics of a few social media giants plus talking about some 3rd party solutions you can use for free. And then possibly some which have fees associated. Some of my clients (I'm Ken) would not be my clients if I could not tell theme with good accuracy where their sales come from. So we'll be using real world examples. Mike will also bring a depth of knowledge on this topic to the discussion today. Hey, if you listn live - get in the chat room!

High value for listener's who already have or want to have a Facebook business presence. We will also talk about the importance of having a website and whether or not there is any value to having an email list in today's spam sensitive environment. Christina is an online lead generating guru. Everything she teaches is tried and true, created and implemented over the past two decades in her own businesses. With her vast experience in real estate marketing, her love of Facebook and her experience leading a successful real estate team, she's out to fill the void created when agents realize the urgent need to constantly and consistently generate leads online yet find they don't have the time or knowledge to get the highest return. She founded LeadsAndLeverage.com in order to bridge the gap between social media and reality by helping real estate agents get the conversation started. As always the show will be live from 11AM Eastern/8AM Pacific for 30 minutes and available on iTunes or here on Blog Talk Radio for future listens.

In fact after Ken came up with the topic for this week's show (actually weeks ago) both guests mentioned the need for disconnecting. Janet mentioned it in a Twitter chat and Danny made a pointed posting about it on Google+ which led to the invitation for each to join us. Let's call this episode "Disconnecting Gracefully". Everyone who has had any presence online for any time knows it can get messy. Businesses have them, people have them, Hollywood types have them, politicians certainly have them. We call them trolls. Some people seem to derive pleasure from bringing others misery. They agree with nothing, hate every service, find fault in every person, business and precept. Sooner or later they take it online and into the public and every comment is an accusation or endictment and every question is an inqisition. So what to do? There comes a time for personal and business when it's time to consider the option of disconnecting and denying that person further access to your other connection. In other words it's time to unfriend or otherwise block. 01:00:00SMEDGEnosocial media,trolls,reputation,brand,unfriendingToday's guests are Janet Fouts and Danny Brown.

He would review news and technical releases and try new tools then talk about them on a podcast. Those first shows were a true "podcast" recorded in his office then uploaded to a server and he invited others to listen. Back on August 18th 2009 Ken learned about Blog Talk Radio and decided to give it a try. Those first few painful shows were fifteen minutes long and called Twitter Tuesday. They were broadcast live from Noon to 12:15 on Tuesdays usually to an empty chat room and a live audience of 3 or 4 listeners. In December that year Jason Crouch joined as co-host of Social Media Edge Radio and the audience continued to grow. Mike Mueller joined in late winter of 2010 and Jeremy Blanton joined in Spring of 2010. We've had many, many wonderful guests and you can see them all at http://socialmediaedge.com/past-guests/ thanks to Mike Mueller's diligent efforts in keeping the Wall of Fame up to date.

His history in development and positioning is not too unlike mine. Odd since I apparently am old and he much younger.   In 1995 Paul was Project Manager/Developer at Know-ware consulting for companies such as DeutscheBanc and Morgan Stanley. Honing his skills there he soon moved on to Palo Alto Software ... read more   Entering the new millennium moved Paul to Related Capital as VP, Charter Mac as CTO and the Huffington Post as CTO and currently he serves on the Digital Advisory Board for American Express's Open and as founder at SoHo Tech Lab. But what we want to talk with Paul about today is his current status as founder and CEO at RebelMouse.   I'm not going to tell you about RebelMouse here. But I will tell you, like everything else, it may take you a few minutes to "get it". I'm "getting it" and I'm pretty sure you will, too.

As one of the most subscribed to bloggers on Active Rain and and avid blogger (with results) on other platforms Jason knows how to get the readers involved, allow them to truly experience what he writes and to develop a relationship with them as a result.  Mike Mueller will be talking about Lists. In fact he alludes to it from time to time on the show but now he is going to tell why, where and how to build lists that payoff for the small business (or big business) person looking at social media as a marketing platform.  Jeremy Blanton will be talking about video. No surprise there since Jeremy has recently been super charged by what video is and can be. He will be talking about how he uses video and how you can, too, to promote you business. Lights, camera ACTION!  Lisa Oden will be talking about Droid (as she says "of course") and how she uses it in engaging with others, business functions and staying on top of all that will help her business and the business of those she consults with.  Ken Cook will be talking about SEO. Having been directly involved in some search engine architecture and development dating back to the pre-Google days and being a part of the Gossamer Threads project will give us the opportunity to discuss the realities of SEO and how to use real data before making the decision to do something because "it sounds like it oughta work."01:01:00SMEDGEnoseo,twitter,facebook,networking,word pressToday we're talking about tools that work for you (social media tools of course!)  Jason Crouch is presenting on Blogging.

So where should those places be?
