Use Feeds Yet!

What are feeds? I see “RSS”, “XML”, and “Atom” out there, but I have not got a clue about how I might use these links when I find them.

Feeds are a way for small or large websites to distribute their website content well beyond just visitors using Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers. Feeds permit subscription to regular updates, delivered automatically via a web portal, news reader, or in some cases good old fasion email. Feeds also make it possible for site content to be packaged into “widgets,” “gadgets,” mobile devices, and other bite-sized technologies that make it possible to display blogs, podcasts, and key news/sports/weather/whatever headlines just about anywhere in the world in seconds!

David is flying to Los Angeles California next month to learn more about Internet Marketing on a course with a top Internet Marketing guru.

This will cover all the latest and newest techniques that work on the Internet, most won’t have been seen in the UK yet!

Internet marketing is still a complete mystery to most Internet users.

For many web users, online marketing is seen as some foreign area of the web, populated with unreal get-rich-quick schemes and unsavory characters ready to rip off the innocent and uninformed public at the click of a mouse.

This is so far from the truth, Internet marketing could not be further removed from this unedifying picture. In reality, Internet marketing is populated mainly with hard working professionals promoting and selling high quality brand products by many of the world’s Top 500 companies.

There is now over a billion Internet users worlkdwide, representing one large global consumer base or e-marketplace. The total amount of goods sold online has been steadily increasing each year as the Internet gains in both popularity and familiarity.

Studies have shown people shop online because of lower prices, a wider selection of products, easier comparison shopping, and many just prefer not having to travel to the shop(s) to make a purchase.

Handling all this online e-commerce is a whole sector of companies, hosting providers, web designers, advertising agencies… and so on. All this online commerce has also given rise to a relatively new breed — the professional Internet marketer. Someone who makes a lucrative living helping facilitate, in one form or another, all this online activity.

As always David VS came up trumps when we were looking to upgrade the website.

Having talked through various options - such as what was now available/possible to do - I changed various things around as suited the way the Consultancy is now operating - came up with a variety of pictures which hoped would give a could ‘match and feel’ to the site as well as a more up to date colour and logo lay out, all of which David was able to implement with is usual efficency. I feel the site is now streamlined and eye-catching - as I am sure those who view www.bellisconsultancy.co.uk will agree.

I wanted to share a powerful marketing tip with you toda!

This is something that when done properly by you or your search engine marketing (SEM) supplier, can improve your results and increase your sales WITHOUT adding a single penny or cent to your costs.

This is something that all successful search engine marketers have so
ingrained into them; they mumble it in their sleep!

Test, Test, Test!

So, testing - that’s nothing new.  What’s the big deal?  The big
deal is that most people overlook this and miss the opportunity
to significantly improve their response rate.

Hence profits are lost doing Internet Marketing.

Look no further than Rum Tum Tugger’s Nursery in Harlow, Essex.

It was registered by Ofsted in February 2006. It reflects the methods that have proven extremely successful in the past at their original nursery at Epping, Essex. By blending Montessori methods of learning with traditional techniques to create a vibrant and inspirational play space were children and babies can develop in a safe and secure environment.
