Now let’s take look at US media consumption patterns in 2008. On the left is the average amount of time users spend consuming all types of media. 41% of this time is spent online and 59% is spent offline. On the right, is the total estimated US advertising spend in 2008. Only 7% of this was spent on online, whereas 93% was spent offline. Consumers are spending more time online, however, there is clearly a gap between ad spend and media consumption. This can be seen as an opportunity waiting to happen.
In the last slide, we saw the opportunity for advertisers to spend their money in a channel where users are allocating more than 40% of time.Here we see that in 2007 to 2008, advertisers have recognized this opportunity and have changed where they allocate that money. The internet has had a 19% change in advertising spend. This is the most dramatic of the media represented here.Magazines had the next highest with 5% change in spend.Television had only a 4% change in spend.Radio and newspaper both had a 2% change in spend.

Can I see a show of hands on how many people use the internet “FIRST” to search for information on LOCAL companies? Market research says 63% of small business owners search online 1st!

Your website is an online reflection of yourself – your companies brand and image builds trust.
People search locally. They want to support their community and find products and services in their area.

Armed with your list of keywords, it's now time to use some tools to analyze your list. Google Adwords (Google's Pay Per Click Advertising Program) offers a free keyword tool to help you build your keyword list:https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternalEnter in your keyword list with each keyword phase on a separate line. Click "Get Keyword Ideas" and Google will generate a list of suggested keywords based upon traffic over the last month and over past 12 months. Look for similar phrases and compare the traffic data. For instance, if you are a Family Law Attorney you may be quite surprised to learn that many more people (45,000 more in August of 2009) are searching for Divorce Lawyer over Divorce Attorney in Google. That's a lot of additional searches in a single month so you may want to revise your copy and keyword strategy to include this phrase. Analyzing the results from Google Adwords and other keyword tools may open your eyes to some additional keywords that you may not have thought about before. Remember, you want to focus on what your customers are searching on and not what you would search on.WordTracker also offers a free keyword tool (http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/) but I don't find this as helpful as the Adwords tool.
When I came in town, I could have asked 10 people who the best dentist in town was. If 8 out of 10 point to the same dentist, then I assume he is the best dentist. Google does the same thing with links. The more links … the more votes of confidence!
