Unique Strategy To Implement B2B Relationship Marketing

The performance of a relationship between two firms can be view in the following way. The Business-to-Business Relationship Performance scale is presented as a high order concept. Managers operating in a B2B e-marketplace, findings reveal that greater relationship performance results in better 1) relationship policies and practices, 2) relationship commitment, 3) trust in the relationship, 4) mutual cooperation, as well as 5) satisfaction with the relationship. The multi-dimensional scale shows strong evidence of reliability as well as convergent, discriminate and nomological validity.

It is also reveal that B2B relationship performance is positively and significantly associated with loyalty. While building on this scale. Today firms have a wide range of tools and metrics at their disposal to assess periodic performance, and they represent a critical topic in business literature and across different fields of management research. However, although both worlds are interested in the topic of metrics, the way academics and managers discuss it is quite different. Frequently practitioners have different expectations and work with different time scales than those of academics.

Moreover, it is not normally concerned with the analysis and development of metrics that might be applied at the managerial level and included in management periodic reports. The marketing trend towards a better understanding of relationship development with business partners continues to grow, as managers and researchers observe that better relationships result in a significant impact on business performance.

The development of customer relationship is an ongoing process during which relational policies and practices, trust, relationship commitment, mutual cooperation, and satisfaction with the relationship represent important dimensions to be considered. The need for enhanced corporate reputation and trust-based relationship becomes more crucial in an environment of less traditional relationship coalition, relational history, and interpersonal communication.

The new medium is fostering transitional relationship, and easy access to information and forum to critique, criticize or condemn an institution. The practice of hiding nothing is preferred because there is no where to hide. Ethics and truth, unqualified reputation and transparent honesty, therefore, become very important in the new marketplace made up of institutions and empowered consumers and stakeholders.

Proactively, rather than reactivity, becomes a very important business mantra in the postmodern digital world economy. It is easier to create and maintain reputation and trust than try to regain them. Computer technology has altered the power structure and the relationship between corporations and their publics, stakeholders and the media. Internet may be creating a shift from the traditional vertical and horizontal corporate communication paradigms.

3 Way Links.net Review. Does It Help Your SEO?

I didn’t believe it when I first saw this SEO linking system known as 3 way Links by the seo guru Jon Leger.. I was skeptical of a system like this at first.

I had a friend that joined 3 way Links.net and was giving it rave reviews, so I decided to take a closer look at this “miracle solution” to linking.

Looking at it now after being on the service for almost a year now, I would say it is not “miracle service” for it cannot grab the #1 spot in a highly competitive niche market, like “insurance” but I know for a fact it has helped me to grab the top rankings in some smaller niche keyword phrases.

It has helped me get to the top of the engines for several “long tail” keyword phrases that requires less link popularity to rank for. It will take a few weeks but it is definitely worth the wait.

The way the links grow is slow, and as your network of links grow, your PR grows.

At first, I tried this on sites that I did not care much about and saw good results the rankings began to climb.

The 3waylinks.net system allows webmasters to add up to 50 domains in their link network in exchange for thier monthly fee. In the beginning I only added 3 of my own websites. I decided to do some otehr things and then months went by and noticed a doubling in traffic to those site. I am now convinced it is worth it. To this day, I am still a member.

On one of my sites on the network, I was able to acheive a top 3 ranking for a highly competitive term (which I will not reveal here..but be assured, I was extremely pleased…

A few tips I will leave with you about 3 way networks:

1. DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT - If you want to test it, test it on sites that are marginally important so that you can find out for yourself if it is good.

2. CONTINUE TO LINK TRADE IN OTHER PLACES - It is definitely dangerous to leave all your linking in only one place. IF you will build a strong network of links all over the net, it will be much better. This will disguise any possible footprint…even though I have not found this to be a problem any way.

3. IT DON’T HELP PR - It didn’t help my sites with PR anyway. I find PR to be not such a huge factor in rankings anyway. While I dod keep an aye on it some, I don’t base my SEo solely around the concept like some SEO “experts”.

4. YOU NEED SOME WEBMASTER SKILLS - The install of the code could make a web newbie cringe, but it is not difficult. IF you need help, email me.

5. CHOOSE THE RIGHT KEYWORDS - I usually pick highly related keywords that are not going against huge competition in terms of sites optimizing for it AND also produces a good bit of traffic according to Google’s Adword Keyword Tool.

If you are looking to get more traffic, build rankings, and have an extra way to dominate Google, I highly recommend 3waylinks.net

Improve Your SEO Efforts By Leaving Comments

It is widely know that getting back links to your site will improve your rankings with the search engines but getting links by leaving blog comments is commonly over looked.

You have probably heard that you shouldn’t waste your time with blog comments because the search engines don’t follow the link because of the no follow tag.

It is true that the search engines usually won’t follow links with the no follow tag. But more and more you are finding blog that have disabled the no follow tag in the comments section.

When WordPress is installed it automatically configures your blog to have no follow tag on comment but there are some blog owners that want you to comment so they will use a plugin to remove the no follow tags, either completely or based on the number of comments you leave.

But you should I am going to cover blog comment etiquette before I tell you how to find these blogs that will remove the no follow from your comments.

If you are going to leave a comment on the blog MAKE SURE the comment is relevant to the post.

If the post you are commenting on is about writing articles you don’t want to leave a comment about extreme sports. If you site is extreme sports related you can have the link to your site but the comment text needs to be related to the post.

When you are writing your comments don’t put any links in the body of the comment. Not only is this poor etiquette it can actually get you listed on the comment spam lists if you are reported by the blog owners. You can put a link in the comment body if, and only if, it is a resource to something in the post.

I recommend that you set your blog up so that if there are links in the body of the comment it will go to the comment moderation. This way you will have to approve the comment before it shows up on your blog. This will keep the spammy comments of your blog.

Now your name or I should say the form field where you enter your name. This should be your name or your moniker. For example I will use Randy The Hermit because more people know me that way than by my normal last name. Your moniker can have keywords in it (only helps if there are not any no follow tags) but it should be related to you or what you do. For example if you teach people how to blog you could use the moniker Blog Boy or Blogging Teacher but your moniker should stay the same no matter what you use for a link.

That is a general overview of blog etiquette but you should never do anything in a blog comment that you wouldn’t want done on your blog. Even with the no follow tags you should still be posting comments, I bet you are wondering why?

This question can be given a few answers, such as:

1.People will see your comments and your links even if there is a no follow tag. If you put 4 comments on blogs per day you will end up with over 1,500 links in a year. These links will be seen by potentially tens of thousands of readers that might visit your site.

2.If you comments adds value to the topic of the post the author and readers will start to recognize your name and you will be branding yourself as an expert.

3.If you post an interesting comment people will click on your link to see what else you have to offer.

4.If you are selling advertising on your site through a service like text link ads they sometimes do their own back link research and ignore the no follow tag. This could result in you receiving more income from your ads.

Now how to tell if the comments have the no follow tag applied to them.

One way is to go to the blog and find a post with comments and look at the page source, find the comment and see if it has no follow tag on the link. This is a pain but it works.

An easier way is to use FireFox or Flock browser (If you are not using one these you should be) and get the SEO for FireFox addon (It works in FireFox and Flock) you can find it as SEOTools.com or just search for it in Google.

This addon will give you a bunch of information that can be used for SEO but the one feature that we are interested in now is the no follow highlighting. What it does is look at all the links on the page your viewing and highlights all the no follow links in red. If the name in the blog comment isn’t red then the no follow is shut off on that blog.

Then there is another plugin that some people add to their WordPress blogs that will reward the frequent commenter. It is called Lucia’s Linky Love.

Once Lucia’s is installed the blog master can set up the comments so that after a person make so many comments the no follow tag is removed for that person.

Lucia’s actually checks both the name and the email address for every comment so if you are posting on the blog you need to use the same name and email address the minimum number of times before the no follow tag is removed

The owner of the site can set the limit from 3 to whatever they feel like but most of the time if they are using the plugin it is set from 3 to 5. This means you will have to leave a relevant comment 3 to 5 times before the no follow tag is removed but when it is removed it is removed from any comments you make from there on.

How do you find blogs that use Lucia’s Linky Love plugin? The easiest way is to use Google’s Blogsearch, put your keywords in quotes and then put a plus sign and then Lucia’s Linky in quotes and do you search. It should look something like this “keyword phrase”+”Lucia’s Linky” you results should sow you posts that are related to your keywords and using Lucia’s Linky Love plugin.

I use this on my blogs and I have it set at three. Because I read the comments and if they are spammy I delete them manual link spammers never get the three links they need. This encourages better comments and more comments.

Google Chiropractic Marketing Domination in 24 hours

If your current chiropractic marketing or Search Engine Optimization (SEO) “expert” hasn’t produced tangible results in 24-48 hours on Google, Yahoo, or MSN, then it’s time to get rid of them! What I mean, is if your listings do not dominate at least 3 of the top 10 listings on the first page, you’re getting “taken to the cleaners.”

You might be one of the many chiropractors who are spending upwards of $500 to $1000 monthly on marketing that doesn’t yield impressive results. When you don’t personally understand SEO, web 2.0, and the future of marketing, then you aren’t taking your success into your own hands. Only you can do it for yourself and do it for free!

The reality is that when you’re doing it right, you should be showing up in Google searches for relevant topics in the top three positions! You shouldn’t be on page 17, you should be on page one at the very top, and it’s possible when you know about SEO. I discovered a great secret in 2005 about SEO and chiropractic marketing, and as I became more successful and started to spread the word to thousands of my now successful students, it no longer was a secret. I could see the future power of web 2.0 three years ago, and I began to tap it. How was I able to tap it, you ask? With the use of video! I noticed then that videos were getting tremendous status in Google searches, and I put that power to the test. Three years later, it’s clear that I hit the chiropractic marketing goldmine.

This is when I began to use TubeMogul for free, submitting my chiropractic marketing videos, as well as other topics. These were shared with 12 different web 2.0 sharing sites instantly. No more manual uploading of each video. I found that by doing this I was allowed a tremendous amount of free time in my life and so much less hassle. I also started noticing a thing or two about search engines and canvassing keywords. I was on to something.

Here’s the real kicker: I didn’t spend one cent to do this! Don’t feel silly if you’re wasting thousands of dollars a year on marketing right now, because you’re not alone. Only you can blanket the internet with your personal profile and material, and this information can come up in top billing in Google, Yahoo, and MSN. No need to pay an SEO specialist to push you further into debt!

That all changed when I found another super-secretive video submission service. I mean, it was literally TubeMogul on steroids multiplied by 10! I was able to submit my video to over 60 sites with the click of a mouse and I was crushing and toppling my competition overnight. The beauty was, my videos were getting to the top of Google and Yahoo rankings within 48 hours, sometimes even 24. This technology was only used by the gurus at first and it’s changed the face of marketing and SEO completely.

To be a successful chiropractor and have a thriving practice, you need to effectively leverage your time and tasks. It’s so important to find the right video and article submission services to send your material. These services are the very best to leverage your time, while saving you an incredible amount of money.

So, to set the record straight, getting to the top of the search engines in less than two days (for Free) is absolutely possible! Don’t let your current SEO guy tell you otherwise. All chiropractors and other business owners will have to learn this eventually. The ones that take the bull by the horns and learn it now will be able to prosper and create real wealth during this long economic recession. The choice is yours to adapt or have your business become extinct. As technology and communication change, so must we if you want to thrive.

You need to tweak your website

If you want to appeal to all the search engines then you need to make sure your website remains fresh and updated. Some experts talk about getting to number one on Google, but they dont often tell you how much work is involved in staying there.

The truth is this ” if you want to get to the top and stay there, you need to work hard and be prepared to tweak your website often to remain on or near the top of the search rankings. Why is this? Its simply because Google then sees your site as one that is current and up to date, rather than one which is out of date and hasnt been updated in months.

A lot of experts think that you need to make big changes, but that isnt the case. Updating your site could be as simple as changing a paragraph that just doesnt flow well, or adding a couple of extra links here and there, or any one of a dozen other small processes that serve as the ideal update to let the search engines know that you are still there, working to create a site that will be even better in the long term than it is in the short term.

Regular alterations and additions also give your visitors a reason to come back often. If they know there is going to be something new to read and digest virtually every time they visit your website, then you are going to get more repeat traffic and that leads to more sales in the long run.

The trick is to make little changes often, rather than go for massive changes once in a while. Small and regular effort will bring better results and more repeat traffic both in the short and the long term.

The Man Who Offered to Beat Me Up

Today I received a long letter from a man who created a new self-defense system. He claims he can defeat anyone in under 3 minutes.

He wants me to promote him and his method. He went on to say he’d be happy to meet with me to prove his skills.

What did he have in mind?

He wants to beat me up.

I’m serious.

“If I can defeat you within 3 minutes,” he said in his letter, “then you promise to promote me and my products. Deal?”

He went on to give me the contact information for his agent so I could set up the match.

It might have made an interesting webcast. I can just see the headline:

“51-year-old formerly obese Internet Marketing Expert meets 30-year-old Superman-fit Martial Arts Expert in Quick-Kill Match. Register now.”

Gee, I wonder who would win?

I’d lose even if I went armed.

What would you have done?

How would you have responded to his offer?

Unless you’re a fighter looking for a match, you’d probably toss this offer in the trash.

I often wonder what people are thinking. Does this guy really think I’ll fight him? And then, if I lose, I’ll gladly smile and start marketing him?

I don’t claim to be a fighter and am not seeking bouts. I’m also not seeking new clients. Especially clients who want to break my nose to prove they are better than me.

When you reach out to anyone, keep in mind that no one likes to be told they are inferior. It is not a good way to win friends and influence people. In fact, it’s not a good way to do much of anything.

I think the lesson here is that we all have egos. The better way to approach people is to put your ego under theirs.

In other words, be willing to lower your status. Don’t flaunt your stuff. Instead, show your weakness and ask for help.

This nervy fighter might have done better by offering to teach me his new method, not offering to embarrass me with it.

Contrast his behavior to that of a man in Florence, Italy. This gent heard I loved leather jackets. He went and bought two of them and sent them to me, gratis.

I’ll never forget *him*.

This works in your marketing, too.

Rather than boast that you or your business is the greatest, focus on how you or your business can make your customer or client the greatest.

Or surprise your customers by giving them gifts (much like this article is a gift). People love to be surprised on the positive side.

See the difference?

This redirection of focus can trigger a true transformation in your sales.

Take heed.

See you in the ring.

Choosy domain name buyers choose these strategies

With over 60 million domains currently registered, it can be daunting
to try to find the right domain — one that will drive quality traffic to your
Website or parked domain. But how can you ensure you”re making the right decision when you purchase
registered and expired domains? Do your research and you’ll feel confident in
your purchase. In this article, I’ll explain the tools and techniques domain pros use to
determine — or at least reasonably guesstimate — how much, and what type, of
traffic a domain receives. Armed with this knowledge, you’ll be able to predict
approximately how much money a given domain will make, and thus gain a better
understanding of the domain’s true value. We’ll discuss three methods for
evaluating the traffic a domain receives:

*Trackers/Direct Methods
*Predictors/Indirect Methods
*Traffic Source
The educated buyer always comes out ahead, so read on to unlock the mysteries
of domain traffic and learn how to determine scientifically if a domain is
really worth buying.

*Trackers/Direct Methods
*Predictors/Indirect Methods
*Traffic Source

.Developed Website.
Traffic counting scripts are one of the simplest and most reliable methods
for determining traffic to a developed Website. Many free professional
statistics programs are available. These can be integrated easily into site
html codes to give buyers the additional reassurance of a 3rd party verified system.
Most trackers will provide sellers with even more info, such as top referrers,
the geographic and chronological breakdown of visitors, and much more.

Trackers/Direct Methods
Ideally, you could skip all of the guesswork and find out how much traffic a
domain receives directly from the domain owner. The easiest way to do this is
simply to ask the sellers about it. However, the seller may make mistakes (or simply be
dishonest), so it’s always a good idea to double-check the numbers using one or
more of the following methods.

It’s worth noting that visitor numbers can be manipulated by malevolent
sellers, but in general, parked domain visitor stats serve as a very helpful
guideline for potential buyers.

.Predictors/Indirect Methods…What should you do if a domain is not parked
and the owner will not or cannot provide you with visitor statistics? Fortunately, a
few handy tricks can be used to help you get a rough indication of whether or
not a domain receives any traffic.

I wouldn’t recommend relying solely on any of these tricks as a
bullet-proof way to guess the amount traffic. However, taken as a whole (and with a
hefty spoonful of salt), they can shine some light on the question of
whether or not a domain will receive valuable traffic.

Predictors/Indirect Methods…What should you do if a domain is not parked
and the seller is unable or unwilling to provide you with visitor statistics? Fortunately, a
few handy tricks can be used to help you get a rough indication of whether or
not a domain receives any traffic.

Many high-traffic domain names will receive an Alexa ranking just from their
type-in traffic. In general, an Alexa ranking under 1,000,000 for an undeveloped
site is a good indicator that the domain receives decent traffic (e.g. several
thousand monthly uniques). Rankings over a million are less reliable, but
usually any sort of Alexa ranking means the domain receives at least some
traffic. As with all of these methods, Alexa should be used as a guideline only:
sometimes even domains for which Alexa returns “No Data” (too low to rank) will
still receive traffic. Ranking.com offers a tool that’s similar to Alexa’s.

Overture Searches…Yahoo! Search Marketing’s
Keyword Selector Tool (known to most as formerly Overture) tells you how often a
given keyword was searched on the Yahoo! network. For example, “Yahoo” was
searched 17,858,229 times in September 2005, while “Blue” was searched 178,124
times.

Many high-traffic domain names will receive an Alexa ranking just from their
type-in traffic. In general, an Alexa ranking under 1,000,000 for an undeveloped
site is a good indicator that the domain receives decent traffic (e.g. several
thousand monthly uniques). Rankings over a million are less reliable, but
usually any sort of Alexa ranking means the domain receives at least some
traffic. As with all of these methods, Alexa should be used as a guideline only:
sometimes even domains for which Alexa returns ‘No Data’ (too low to rank) will
still receive traffic. Ranking.com offers a tool that’s similar to Alexa’s.

Research shows that Overture searches do usually have a rough
correlation with traffic (especially type-in traffic), but as with other
methods, there are many exceptions to the rule.

Traffic Source…If you are wanting to better understand something, go to the
source. This aphorism applies to domain traffic just as well as it does to other
information. Thus, in addition to using the above methods to guesstimate the
quantity of traffic a given domain receives, you may want to use these
techniques to try to determine the source of that traffic.

Traffic source will affect the longevity and conversion of the traffic. In
simpler terms, it will have huge impactts on how much money the domain will
make.

Link Popularity…A web site or formerly-developed
domain name may receive traffic from old incoming links and directory listings.
There are many online tools for checking link popularity; Marketleap.com offers
one of the best tools.

The important thing to look for here is not the quantity of links, but their
quality. A single link from a major web site may be worth thousands of links
from smaller sites. The longevity of link traffic varies widely: a link from a
news article may generate a flurry of traffic that lasts only a week, while a
directory listing may continue to generate steady traffic for years. Another
similar tool worth checking out is URLtrends.com.

Search Engine Listings…Search engine listings are
a major source of traffic for many sites. You can guesstimate how much search
engine-derived traffic a web site receives by looking at its “search engine
saturation”. This is an indicator of how often the domain appears in the various
search engine indexes. Again, Marketleap.com offers an excellent tool for
evaluating search engine saturation.

Just keep in mind that it’s also important to look at how high the site is
listed and how often the keyword is searched. And don’t forget that search
engine listings change frequently, so if this is the primary source of traffic,
expect fluctuations!

Paid Fluctuations…Some traffic may be coming from
PPC advertisements, exit popups or banner ads that the seller has bought. This
is short-lived traffic, because as soon as you buy the domain, the seller
stops paying for the ads! The best way to determine traffic origin is to ask the
seller about traffic sources and view the traffic logs. To ensure the logs are
not modified, ask for access to the logs instead of screenshot of the
statistics.

Without access to the logs, it can be difficult to determine if a domain is
receiving paid traffic, but a smart domain buyer will look for a few key pieces
of evidence: do the domain statistics align with the Alexa ranking and the
number of incoming links? For example, a domain that receives a couple hundred
views a day, and has no Alexa ranking and very few incoming links from
low-traffic sites may likely receive paid traffic. But don’t discount such
domains out of hand: they may be receiving typo-traffic, or may even be a seasonal domain (such as one related to the World
Series).

.Expired Traffic…If a domain was formerly
developed, some users may continue to visit because of old links and reference pages,
or simply because they remember the actual name of the domain. This traffic may continue for
years, but as with any site, it decreases over time.

If it’s not possible to speak with the current owner about the past
development of the site, a few simple searches can help. In particular, use the
hints above to examine the types of sites that are linking to that domain. With this
information, you may be able to get some idea of the type of traffic that’s
visiting the domain in search of old content. After the content is removed, many
of the links will be updated or removed and this traffic will eventually dwindle
or expire.

Typos -n- Variations…Don’t ignore traffic that’s
diverted to the domain name as a result of typos from other high traffic sites.
Check out the traffic that flows to similar or mistyped domains using the tools
above. Also consider traffic generated from variations of names, such as an
abbreviated form of your domain name, or an acronym. If these domains experience
high volumes of visitors, there is a possibility that this will translate to
high traffic levels for similar sites.

Alexa can be useful tool for doing this — it offers a feature that lists
other web sites that visitors of a given domain also visit. For example, an
Alexa search on: social bookmarking
shows that many visitors to these types of domains also visit other
social
networking websites
.

Find the Right Domain…Traffic is crucial for any revenue generating
business on the Web. Finding and choosing the right domain with targeted traffic can take
your business and -profits- to new heights. If you haven’t quite had the
time to build that web site, simply park your domains, let your parking company
place targeted advertisements on the domain’s index page, and sit back and monetize
the traffic. You can do this at sedo by taking advantage of their optimize keyword
tool. Also, use the tools listed above to determine domain traffic and never
make a wrong buying decision again.
