Subject lines are the first part of the process. What they see in their inbox, needs to entice them to open the email and read on. It’s worth remembering that not everyone uses outlook , some people are on web mail, so the subject line may be the only thing they can see. RETURN Subject lines are crucial - make that first impression count Esp. with rented lists, as they won’t be expecting your email. But with any email, the subject line is your opening gambit. Make it work for you. The ultimate goal is, to make them open the email… Let’s talk about spam for a moment - Capital letters, over punctuation, lines that look like replies to messages you sent or personal queries all look like spam mail and should be avoided. Even the word ‘free’ can have spam connotations these days. So keep it simple and descriptive. Give a flavour of the contents of the email - be effective and to the point An effective subject line puts the necessary information into the subject so that your readers can tell on the spot what to expect when they open the email. And make them open it. RETURN And for owned lists, use your company name as a reminder that they opted in to receive it. RETURN - this example covers all bases - it describes the contents, gives a company name and has an additional incentive ...

Search Submit Pro is a unique solution, designed to compliment your Sponsored Search and SEO programs. SSP allows you to manage search in a holistic way and to deliver the right message to the right consumer at the right time. To provide some context around why marketers value the SSP program, I want to start by talking a bit about the search landscape and searcher behavior. Today there are 155 million unique searchers in the U.S. and the population of searchers is growing 28% YOY. As this search activity continues to grow, these searches are also becoming more complex. In 1998 an avg query was made of 1 ½ words. Today, 57% of all queries are made up of three or more words. The explosion of search and searcher sophistication really highlights the need for having the right tools in your arsenal to target the right consumers.
The number of monthly searches is obviously an important factor – generally a phrase with high search volume is better to capture than one for which there are not many searches. This is not always the case though if there is high business relevance associated with a particular phrase we may still want to sue it Because we cant necessarily capture all the phrases we want (we may not have appropriate web pages in our site) some prioritisation is necessary. So, for example, it might be considered more important to give ‘ heat treatment services’ a higher priority than ‘carburising services’ when we do the optimisation. We could always come back to the secondary phrase later. More about this when we discuss implementation in the next module. Sometimes its difficult to understand a searchers intent when he types in a phrase. For example one word phrases - for example, ‘atmosphere’, ‘oxidising’ and so on – are typically not good phrases to include. This is not always the case as clearly words like ‘carburising’, ‘nitriding’ and so on do have relevance even though they are only single words. Sometimes phrases can have different or multiple meanings – for example if someone searches for ‘cold treatment’ is he searching for our services or a cure for his medical condition.? In these case we should rule out the phrase or think how we could make it more specific by changing it Competition is another factor which is sometimes considered
Your copy writing in paid search is very important.
Links on other sites will lead visitors to you, hence in its own right it is an important aspect of online marketing leading potential customers directly to your site. Obviously the more links the more different ways leading to your site. Over and above this it is an important part of search marketing, since the more links you have the more important you are in the eyes of the search engines and the higher up in the rankings you will appear ( we’ll qualify this in more detail as we move through)
A good example of a directory for European Businesses – 500,000 businesses in 27 languages.
There are many PR directories which you will search for in the practical session. A great way to submit you news stories and at the same time drop your website link (on high Page Rank sites)
