What are your biggest focuses for Internet Marketing in 2012? New Year's Goal?

[Thos003]

We have seen a lot of shifting and movement in the search engines as of late. So I am curious as to what people are setting their sights on for 2012. And perhaps a top 3 would be appreciated. This is Internet Marketing goals, therefore SEO, Social Media, PPC, all count.

Link Building? Schema.org? Facebook optimization?

And try to be a little more specific like URL rewrites instead of just On-Site SEO.

Articles to inspire the purchase of retail products.

Video to show how retail products are used (and to post on article pages)

Keyword Cannibalization in a small niche    (Longshanks:  "Archers!".... Commander:  "Beg pardon Sire, but... won't we hit our own troops?"... Longshanks:  "Yes.  But we'll hit their's as well".   ----  Replace "Longshanks" with "Longtail")

We have a list we've been working on but here are our top 3:

• Participate more in this community

• streamline our processes for scaling link building prospects and outreach with citationlabs tools

• Schema implementation for local SEO clients

[Thos003]

Here is my 2012 short list:

1. Videos - Creation of videos. And optimization for youtube.
2. Videos - Dynamic insertion of videos on site and conversion tracking with/per video
3. Completion of a niche network and adding 1000 members.

Looking forward to another great year.

[Thos003]

Nice dialog there. Videos are on my short list as well.

Looks like you are starting early in your community participation.

This was on my Christmas list, but it didn't seem to happen:

• Work on Conversion Rates
• Write bigger and better content
• Finish redesign
• Convince EGOL to link to me...

Content & Site Appeal

[Francisco_Meza]

Hey Thomas! How you been? Here are my 3:

1. Highly relevant content creation.
2. Continue growing my Advanced Web Analytics strategy I learned from Avinash. Oh I forgot to tell you, I took his Analytics Ninja course.
3. International SEO to reduce PPC costs.

If I could write a 4th, it would be schema.org.

Good list. And yes, Schema.org is on my list as well, a little further down.

How was the Analytics Ninja Course?

[Francisco_Meza]

I use GA more than ever now. To tell you the truth, I felt that I know a lot about internet marketing. Tips n Tricks no longer helped. Strategy was way more important. So I needed to come "full circle" in my internet marketing efforts. So now I can see most of my work's performance, whether good or poor, through advanced web analytics. The last thing left before I get my Market Motive Certification is passing the interview. I have to defend my Web Analytics Measurement Model in front of a panel (Avinash and John).

I had to make a custom dashboard for my website. I can email it to you so you can see my end result.

[Thos003]

I'd love to see it. Sounds like they built a good system for not only explaining but testing you to make sure you understood it. Good stuff.

Great question, I'll chime in!

-Traffic segmentation and journey analysis/optimisation

-Social sharing optimisation...aka increase my clients penetration into their key social media spaces

-Good 'ol Conversion Rate Optimisation (everything from cats to dogs)

-Oh and that content creation shizzle

Video marketing is really helpful in business. You can try any of the video editing tools to get help and market your product.

I use GA extra than ever now. To tell you the truth, I felt that I recognize loads approximately internet advertising and marketing. Tips n Tricks no longer helped as you see here on the handheld steam cleaner. The strategy became manner greater vital. So I needed to come "full circle" in my net advertising efforts.
