			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is not common for small business owners to have huge marketing budgets at their disposal. We all know how much it costs to advertise, whether that be in the newspaper, in a magazine, in the Yellow Pages, or even on TV.</p>
<p>Plus, there is never a guarantee that spending a few hundred or a few thousand dollars on an ad will bring you any business. Some people can be left banging their head against the wall, frustrated with the lack of return on investment.</p>
<p>The world revolves around the Internet now. Over 70% of people with online access search for products and services online – it is quite rare to see someone browsing through the big clunky phone book these days…especially when using the Internet can take less than a minute to find what you’re looking for.</p>
<p>In my opinion, having a website should be a top priority – there shouldn’t even be a question as to whether or not you should have one. So, when people have a website, but say they don’t have a budget for SEO…I don’t think they are realizing the difference between spending on <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/vancouver-website-marketing/">SEO</a> vs. an ad for example.</p>
<p>Your website is working for you 24/7…365 days a year…if people can FIND you via keyword phrases related to your business, you can only GAIN from <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/vancouver-website-marketing/">SEO services</a> (if they are done effectively). Depending on the cost of your products or services…and the cost of SEO, you should be able to see a return on investment very quickly. Think of all of the potential customers you could be missing out on if your website is not marketed. Do you really want to just give all of that business to your competition?</p>
<p>At <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/">Web Warrior Marketing</a>, we offer <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/vancouver-website-marketing/">affordable SEO packages</a> with the small business owner in mind. Check out our <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/vancouver-website-marketing/">website optimization services</a> and <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/vancouver-online-marketing/">request a FREE website consultation</a> today as to how we can get you found on Google! You have nothing to lose. Let us help you grow your business, throughout Canada &#038; in the USA.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you reached this post, it may be because you typed &#8220;<a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/">How to get on Google</a>&#8220;.   Consider it &#8220;fate&#8221; that you reached us cause we have the answer: <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/"><em>WE CAN GET YOU FOUND ON GOOGLE!</em></a></p>
<p>Many people think they just need a website live on the Internet and it will magically happen. This is not the case. You need what is called &#8220;<a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/">search engine optimization</a>&#8220;&#8230;or often referred to as &#8220;<a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/">SEO</a>&#8220;.   And you need effective <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/">search engine optimization</a> done by specialists like our <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/">SEO company!</a></p>
<p>With <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/">SEO</a>, you can get found online via various keyword phrases relevant to your business. For example, a hotel in San Diego may want to be found under &#8220;Hotel San Diego&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;Accommodation San Diego&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;Motel San Diego&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;Beach Hotel San Diego&#8221;&#8230;&#8221; Hotel San Diego California&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;Cheap Hotel San Diego&#8221; and so on.</p>
<p>If you are a company that sells various products, you would want to be found when people search for those product categories or the specific product name.</p>
<p><strong>What are the most important reasons to <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/">get on Google</a>?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Your website is working for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, bringing in potential clients from your city or even all over the world (depending on your industry or coverage area).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Over 70% of online users rely on the Internet to search for products and services &#8211; the phone book is more of a dust-collector these days or used as a step stool to reach a high cupboard.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SEO will bring you a higher ROI (Return on Investment) than any other comparable form of marketing. Advertising campaigns such as print and TV are very expensive and once the campaign is over, the benefits disappear too.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>With a good <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/">SEO company</a> like <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/">Web Warrior Marketing</a> (SEO done the right way), you should be able to get on average 50 to  80% of traffic from search engines like Google, Yahoo &amp; Bing to your  website which equates to more visibility and sales!</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/contact-online-marketing/">Request a FREE SEO PROPOSAL NOW!</a> We sincerely get satisfaction from driving more traffic to the websites of our clients&#8230;and can help companies in Canada &amp; the USA at affordable rates.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Collecting &#8220;likes&#8221; on Facebook can be trying (some industries such as restaurants and stores have it a bit easier)&#8230;but even if you have limited followers, don&#8217;t treat them as if they aren&#8217;t important until you have more followers.</p>
<p>Post regular content on your page. This doesn&#8217;t mean to bombard with endless posts, but be active.</p>
<p><strong>Think of these &#8220;likes&#8221; as a new sales opportunity:</strong></p>
<p>- Post information about your products and services<br />
- Let people know about upcoming and current promotions<br />
- Share business information<br />
- Ask for reviews or encourage referrals<br />
- Offer a discount<br />
- Tell people to &#8220;SHARE&#8221; a particular post to win a prize (choose from all of the people who shared, as you can track this on Facebook). This can result in a ripple effect (they &#8220;share&#8221;&#8230; then their friends &#8220;share&#8221; and so on&#8230;which can then also initiate more &#8220;likes&#8221; of your page from people who wouldn&#8217;t normally have come across your Facebook page otherwise.)</p>
<p>Make offers compelling enough to share&#8230;a 5% discount probably won&#8217;t cut it.  Be creative.</p>
<p>This is instant advertising and promotion for you&#8230;and best of all it&#8217;s FREE!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you on <a href="http://www.yelp.com">YELP</a>?  If you are unfamiliar with this website, Yelp is an online urban city guide that helps people find cool places to  eat, shop, drink, relax, play, and find pretty much any service you can think of based on the informed opinions of a  vibrant and active community of locals in the know.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yelp is the fun and  easy way to find, review and talk about what&#8217;s great — and not so great —  in your world.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yelp currently has 63 million unique visitors!  There has been a 54% increase in traffic this past year&#8230;and it is continually growing at a rapid pace.  Yelp users have added more than 1 million new reviews in the past 30 days.  If you think it can&#8217;t benefit you, think again!</p>
<p><strong>There are many benefits to having your business on this website such as:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>People can find basic information including the hours of your business, your contact information and your website using the site.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> People can search for your type of business in your area that they might not easily find on other local search sites (such as Google Places).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> People can read the opinions of other people who have gone to your place of business or used your services which can give others an impression of what it would be like to use your services and whether or not they would like the place.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> People can initiate discussions through the &#8220;talk&#8221; section of Yelp which lets them ask for specific or more detailed information about the business or about the topic in general.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> People can add their own opinions to improve the site and to support the local businesses that they really like &#8211; which can be you!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Are there any cons to being on Yelp?</strong></p>
<p>When it comes to the Internet, it&#8217;s free game&#8230;meaning that people can pretty much write whatever they wish for the world to see.  The important thing to know is though &#8211; even if you as the business owner don&#8217;t add YOURSELF to Yelp&#8230;ANYONE can add your business.  So in sum&#8230;even if you are worried about receiving a bad review, and this may be preventing you from adding your business&#8230;in reality &#8211; anyone can add your business to Yelp with your permission or not. So, in my opinion, I think the saying &#8220;If you can&#8217;t beat them, join them&#8221; applies to this.   May as well make the best of a website and become a participant (encourage customers to review you) and hopefully gain more customers because of it!  Look at it as the glass half full vs. half empty.</p>
<p>Think of it this way &#8211; if you are a dentist and someone goes to Yelp to look for a dentist &#8211; and you are not listed, you are potentially losing a client.</p>
<p>Also, if someone goes to Yelp and there are 5 dentists to choose from and one has 5 great ratings&#8230;and the rest have no ratings, the one who is going to stand out from the rest is the one with the great reviews.  They will have the upper hand in most cases of getting that new potential client.</p>
<p>So, my vote is YES to Yelp! Add yourself and encourage your customers to post reviews!</p>
<p>Lastly, an incoming link to your website from a highly authoritative website such as Yelp can help with SEO efforts! If you have a website and do not have <a href="http://www.webwarriormarketing.com/">search engine optimization</a>, you are not getting found online &#8211; bottom line.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to search engine optimization, the topic of PageRank often comes up.  There have been so many different views / opinions on PageRank and how it affects websites getting good visibility in the search engines.  Well, I think the only place one should turn to when it comes to the reality of it all is GOOGLE!</p>
<p>&#8220;Google has started to make it clear to the users that PageRank is only one out of 200 signals and that the Webmasters should not think of it as the one and only important parameter. Moreover they have removed the PageRank tab from the Google Webmaster Tools console and they have reduced the number of PageRank Toolbar updates that took place 3 or 4 times per year.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.webseoanalytics.com/blog/is-google-pagerank-still-important-in-seach-engine-optimization/">Click here for an excellent article on PageRank</a>&#8230;so next time someone asks you the value of PageRank, you will be a valuable source of information!</p>

<p>Has your business joined the masses in setting up a Facebook and/or Twitter page as a way of communicating with your current clients&#8230;as well as a way of attracting potential clients?  </p>
<p><strong>Here are 3 Social Media Marketing Tips from Web Warrior Marketing!</strong></p>
<p>1.  <strong>Make a &#8220;Personal&#8221; Connection:</strong> You want to come across as a person&#8230;hence why it is called &#8220;social&#8221; networking.  If you take an impersonal approach, you risk sounding too corporate and stiff.  Consider celebrities &#8211; people love to follow celebrities because in most cases, they are tweeting directly to their fans. This is also why in most cases when an assistant of a celebrity is tweeting instead of the celebrity, people can tell&#8230;and this essentially loses the whole effect and interest of following the celeb in the first place.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Listen to Your Followers:</strong> Don&#8217;t take this great opportunity to truly LISTEN to your followers for granted. This is your chance to build and strengthen customer loyalty. Answer their questions, acknowledge their comments (GOOD or BAD), ask them for feedback, engage them.  If they are already following you, they are your fans&#8230;this is your chance to wow them and make them feel you appreciate their business &#038; opinions.</p>
<p>3.  <strong>Practice Makes Perfect:</strong> These things take time. Time to get used to establishing your company &#8220;voice&#8221;&#8230;time to gain followers&#8230;time to gain momentum.  You are already a step ahead just being involved.  Stay committed, persevere, and reap the benefits.</p>
<p>And a bonus for your efforts in social networking? It was recently announced that social media is used as a ranking factor by search engines Google &#038; Bing.  That is a good motivator in itself to get started if you haven&#8217;t already&#8230;and stick to it! What are you waiting for?</p>
<p>In addition to social networking, if you have a website, you definitely need SEO services (search engine optimization) to get found online via keyword phrases relevant to your type of business &#038; location.
