Online Marketing ? How Are You Going to Market Your ? ? Web ...

online marketing strategy So, you?ve decided to build a new website for your business. You know how you want it to look, you?ve written the text for each page and found a web design company to make it all happen. Job done!

Well? not quite.

A Needle in A Haystack

There are currently 644 million websites on the internet (March, 2012). That means the chances of your customers finding your website by chance are negligible (at best). If your shiny new website is going to be seen by anyone, you need to do some marketing.

?Online Marketing

When it comes to marketing you should view your website as if it was a business card or company brochure. You could spend lots of time and money getting the information and design exactly right, but it?s not going to deliver any business until you put it in the right hands. That?s the tricky part.

Firstly, in order for a website to attract targeted visitors and convert those visitors into loyal customers, you need to build your website with this marketing in mind. This means integrating elements of social media into your website, building it in a way that allows the search engines to index each page quickly and easily and building in elements of dynamic content ? such as a blog. These things need to be considered right from the word ?go?.

Secondly, the moment when your website goes live is only the beginning. It?s what you do after that which will govern the success or failure of your website. Successful online marketing requires using a range of channels on a regular basis to target and attract visitors to your website. Some of these channels might deliver short term results and others might invest in the long term value of your website.

The marketing of your website can be roughly divided into three key elements:

Search Marketing ? Visibility in the search engine results is crucial if you hope to get targeted visitors to visit your website. By optimising the pages on your website for your most valuable keywords, and by building the overall authority of your site, you can gradually climb the search engine results, increase traffic and generate revenue.

Social Media ? The social web is a relatively new development. This allows you to connect and converse with a community of followers using a variety of online channels. This can be a very valuable way to build a community, develop relationships and generate traffic.

Content Marketing ? Both search marketing and social media rely on content. If you are going to attract targeted visitors to your website and successfully convert them into customers, you need to produce high quality content for your visitors. There are many ways to do this but the most effective is to start a blog on your website.

We don?t pretend that online marketing is easy. To do it well you need to have time, resources and expertise. However, unless you do it, your website will always be a needle in a haystack and deliver almost no value.

We understand that most companies don?t have the time, resources or expertise to run their own online marketing campaign. That?s why we offer a fully managed online marketing service to help our customers get the greatest possible value from their websites.

Cleveland Browns outgoing president Mike Holmgren doesn't rule out return to coaching

BEREA, Ohio -- Instead of riding off on his Harley-Davidson into the sunset, outgoing Browns president Mike Holmgren just might roar up to another head coaching job.

Holmgren, who will leave the franchise at the end of this season -- or before -- admitted in his exit press conference Tuesday that he's still infected by the coaching bug and almost sounded as if he regretted not coaching here.

Does he have one more stint left for that playoff-studded 23-year coaching resume?

"I don't know," he said. "I know this: I learned a lot of things in the last three years. One of the things that I thought I knew and now I'm sure, I do miss the coaching part of it. I really do, so ..."

So why didn't Holmgren, 64, descend from his ivory tower in Berea and don the whistle again in 2010 after firing Eric Mangini? For starters, no one really twisted his arm.

"I thought about it," he said. "At the time we were compiling a list of coaching candidates, I asked [GM Tom Heckert], the selection people, the guys who were involved in that, I said 'you don't have to say yes, but tell me tomorrow, should I be on the list?' And, I don't know if they were afraid to come to me and say, 'Are you kidding, an old guy like you, you shouldn't be on that list.' But they didn't. It gave me a chance that evening to think about it a little bit more and I did what I did."

What he thought about and discussed with his wife Kathy, was that perhaps he wasn't up for an all-consuming return to the field.

"At that particular time, I wasn't ready to do it again," he said. "I thought I'd be shortchanging the organization."

But what he discovered was, as president, how often he felt utterly helpless.

"What happens on the field, you have no control over really," he said. "You're just watching. Whereas when I was coaching, I always thought there was some way I could fix this."

Now that his job has been cut short by two years -- he was in the third year of a five-year deal that pays him about $8 million a year -- Holmgren feels there's more football left in him.

"I'm leaving it open," he said. "I said this was my last great adventure. I thought it was going to be longer and so we'll see what happens. My first goal is, if I can, help this team and these coaches this season. Then I'm going to sit back and catch my breath and look around a little bit and see what happens."

Holmgren made no guarantees he'll stick around through the season, which is what owner Jimmy Haslam initially said he planned to do. With new CEO Joe Banner hanging his shingle on Thursday, Holmgren realizes it might be awkward.

"We're going to take it a day at a time and see how it goes," said Holmgren. "My emphasis is going to be the football side of it. I don't have to do the business stuff any more. If I can help one player be a little bit better this season or one coach be a little bit better and I feel I'm contributing, then that could happen."

Holmgren, who was never offered a credible role with the new regime but understands why, has assured Haslam and Banner he won't be a distraction.

"I'm not gonna rock the boat," he said. "I'm not gonna get in anybody's way that way. I think I can help a little bit, but if it gets cumbersome or uncomfortable for anybody, then, heck, I don't want that to happen."

He hasn't made his pitch to Banner yet, but has extolled the virtues of coach Pat Shurmur and Heckert to Haslam.

"Jimmy knows what I feel about them," he said. "I don't think you can get a better general manager than Tom Heckert. I think he's tremendous. Hard-working guy, great personality, knows the college players, knows how to put a winning team together. He's very, very good.

"And Pat is a bright, new coach who's had to go through some stuff that not many of us had to go through when we were starting out. I believe in him as well."

He feels he left the Browns a better place, in part, because of emerging rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden, whom he believes is a franchise quarterback. "I think so. I really do. I think Brandon is off to a good start. He's an excellent passer. I like how he leads.

"People don't cut him quite as much slack because he's 29. [But] he's done very well and I think there's a bright future because we've -- the organization has found its quarterback."

Holmgren, who profusely thanked Randy Lerner for the opportunity, is proud of overhauling the organization and infusing the roster with young talent. His biggest regret is not seeing it come to fruition yet.

"I so much wanted to put a product on the field and win some games for Randy Lerner," he said. "He certainly deserved that. I wish we'd won a few more games [but] I think there's light at the end of the tunnel."

The Browns are 10-29 since Holmgren took over. He said there were no regrets about the youth movement this year -- 26 of 53 players have one or two years' experience.

"I know how we were trying to build the team and I wouldn't change that," he said. "I'm hoping the table is set for the future."

He apologized for snapping at the media a few days after Colt McCoy's concussion last season and warning reporters not to come to him for playoff tickets -- a sound bite that's been played over and over.

"It wasn't my proudest moment," he said. "I apologize to you. I shouldn't have said it." Then he added with a smile, "so because I've confessed this to you, may I phone you for tickets when the time comes?"

Holmgren's legacy will include creating the Browns Ring of Honor and reviving the Legends program. It will include a two-year rift with Hall of Famer Jim Brown that he repaired this season. Ultimately, it could include the foundation for success, which would mean he was one himself.

"I think we're close, I really do," he said. "We've been in every ballgame this year really, and I think it's gonna be OK. I honest-to-goodness feel there are good times ahead -- soon. And I'll be rooting hard for this group from wherever I am in the next couple of years, because I think it will happen."

That's something Haslam and Banner could get revved up about.

Bringing the Spa Home ? The Full Moxie:: Celebrity, Entertainment ...

When traveling ? or even at home ? it?s fun to check out spas, especially when they offer treatments found only in the area in which the spa?s found. Of course, that fun comes with a price tag, which can lessen the fun when it?s time to settle the tab.

At this time of year, spas all over the country and offering specialized treatments featuring fall produce, from cranberries to pumpkin to figs. They all sound so incredibly luxurious, but how to experience them without traveling to each spa? Not that I?d be against that!

When I came across a DIY Pumpkin Cream Pie Facial, compliments of Cecila Wong Skincare in New York City, I wanted to try it out. And what better time than during a girls? trip to Charleston, SC to visit my sister. My girlfriends and I brought the spa to her!

Over drinks and lots of laughs, we applied the facial concoction and waited. The result? Our gruesome looking faces became super soft, and our skin simply glowed. We can?t wait for our next girls? get together to try another home treatment!

Want to try the DIY Pumpkin Cream Pie Facial? Here?s the recipe!

Celia?s DIY Pumpkin Cream Pie Facial

- 2 tsp fresh pumpkin
- 1 tsp papaya
- ? tsp raw honey
- ? tsp organic milk
- 2 tsp organic plain Greek yogurt
- Dash of cinnamon (optional)

Mix all ingredients together until it becomes a paste.

Apply to skin for 10 ? 15 minutes

Massage gently on skin for a minute before rinsing with cool water.

GU Student Debt $1,435 Above National Average

While Georgetown student debt in 2011 was slightly higher than the national average, a lower overall proportion of its students were in debt.

According to a study released Oct. 18 by the Institute for College Access and Success, approximately 66 percent of 2011 American college graduates had student debt, which averaged $26,600 per student. In contrast, the study found that only 39 percent of Georgetown students graduated with debt, with an average of $28,035 per borrower in 2011. This figure represents a 10.7 percent increase over the 2010 average debt of $25,315, with the percentage of students in debt remaining unchanged.

The study broke down average student debt by state as well as by institution. The District of Columbia had the ninth highest level of debt, with 52 percent of students graduating from D.C. schools saddled with an average of $28,241 in debt. The George Washington University had an average student debt of $32,714, with 45 percent of students facing debt. Students at American University had the highest debt levels in the District in 2011, soaring to $37,674 and affecting 58 percent of students.

Schools with the highest student debts included Kentucky State University, Temple University and La Salle University, each of which had average student debts between $31,900 and $45,100.

In comparison, colleges and universities that had the lowest debt included Yale, Princeton and Williams College with student debts averaging between $3,000 and $9,750.

According to Scott Fleming (F ?72), associate vice president for federal relations, the university tries to work with students to minimize the amount of debt they will carry come graduation day.

Georgetown?s recently launched Capital Campaign seeks to raise $1.5 billion, a part of which will be used for student scholarships. In particular, the new 1789 Scholarship fund will raise money for 1,789 new scholarships.

?The university continues its efforts to increase Georgetown scholarship funding, including making funds for Georgetown scholarships a major focus of the ongoing Capital Campaign,? Fleming said. ?Increasing the pool of resources available for Georgetown?s scholarships, along with our work in the federal relations office to maintain strong federal grant aid programs, including Pell Grants and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, is designed to hold down the loan component of Georgetown financial aid packages.?

For Mars rover Curiosity, at last, it's dinnertime. On the menu: dirt.

It's period of painstaking preparations over, the Mars rover Curiosity has at long last ingested a sample of soil for analysis by its on-board chemistry lab. That's what it came 352 million miles for.

By Pete Spotts / October 18, 2012

This photo taken Oct. 15, shows part of the small pit or bite created when Mars rover Curiosity collected its second scoop of Martian soil at a sandy patch called 'Rocknest.' The bright particle near the center of this image was assessed by the mission's science team to be native Martian material rather than spacecraft debris.

After 70 days on Mars, NASA's rover Curiosity finally is doing what it's paid the big bucks to do: Eat dirt.

In a mission where progress so far is being measured in an excruciating series of baby steps, the rover has for the first time moved a soil sample from the Martian surface to CheMin ? one of two mini laboratories inside Curiosity's chassis that are expected to reveal the minerals that comprise the red planet's ubiquitous dust.

Such a seemingly simple feat has been a long time coming, notes John Grotzinger, a planetary geologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and the Mars Science Laboratory's project scientist.

Researchers have measured soil properties beginning with the Viking landers in the mid 1970s and with each lander since ? each in different locations. This has yielded the observation that "there's something about the soil so far that's been very generic to Mars," he says.

"What's really exciting about this sample that just got dumped into CheMin" and later will be scrutinized by a second lab package on the rover "is that they are going to be able to analyze once and for all the mineral composition" of this material "that swirls around the planet," he says.

It's the first test of CheMin's ability to uncover the elements in the soil grains and identify minerals in them following the rover's 352-million-mile, nearly nine-month journey to Mars. The mission's goal is to determine if Gale Crater and its towering, central Mt. Sharp could have hosted microbial life early in the planet's history.

Central to that task is the ability to deliver samples to CheMin and the second internal lab package, SAM. SAM analyzes gases from the atmosphere and from heated samples of soil and rock to hunt for organics that would signal a hospitable ancient habitat.

To that end, engineers have spent the last two weeks gathering two scoops full of soil to scrub out the inside of the sample delivery system, removing any remaining contaminants from Earth.

The first scrubbing session went well. But engineers aborted the delivery system's second silty "bath" when images of the depression the scoop left in the soil revealed a small, shiny fleck that reminded the team of what it previously dubbed "shmutz" ? loose bits of plastic that came from the rover itself.

The sample-delivery system, known as CHIMRA, might not take kindly to ingesting a bit of rover detritus as part of the cleaning process. So, wary that the soil in the scoop itself might hide another piece of shmutz, the team dumped the soil and took a closer look at the shiny fleck in the depression.

After some scientific chin-scratching, a strong consensus emerged among the science team that the fleck actually originated on Mars, Grotzinger says. In a stroke, the fleck shifted from an object of concern to an object of scientific interest.

Sometime in the next few days, the science team will reposition the rover so it can use ChemCam, atop the rover's mast, to zap the fleck with its laser and figure out what it's made of, Dr. Grotzinger says.

The fleck is only about 1 millimeter across. Reseachers speculate that it could be a tiny chip of mineral cleaved by the wind-driven movement of pebbles at the site. Or it could represent a mineral that formed naturally in the space between larger grains of sand and soil.

"It probably represents a science opportunity rather than an engineering threat," Grotzinger said at a briefing Thursday.

Once the team put the fleck on its scientific agenda, it finished up the housekeeping chores with a third scoopful of soil that is now working its way through CheMin. SAM could see its first sample next week.

"The most important thing about our mobile laboratory is that it eats dirt; that's what we live on," Grotzinger says.

And with confirmation that the latest sample has been safely delivered to CheMin, Curiosity's engineers and scientist can now bid the rover bon appetit.
