2. Websites
A website is a platform that is created to provide content when directed
by an individual seeking an address, in almost all cases via a domain
name connected to a host provider that stored the code and executes the
content.
Websites in most cases are created as an extension
of the business for one of the following reasons:
•Create Credibility
•Lead Generation
•E-Commerce
•Communication and Customer Service Tool

Marketing & Optimization
Search Engines allow users to find content
based on their impulses.
Search engines help connect users to
products, services, entertainment and
almost any information that has been made
available in some content form on the internet.
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) includes:
•Search Engine Optimization (SEO) the process by which websites have their content
organized to rank higher in the Search Engine Results Page (SERP).
•Paid Search aka Pay Per Click (PPC) Ads, are text displayed on the SERP in sponsored
content section of the SERP.
•Display Banner Ads are graphic and photo elements used on websites, publications, popup
ads and other means to generate an impulse to click the ad which leads to a website.
•Social Engagement Marketing is where users seek out forums, blogs and comment areas to
generate interest and provide a back link (url) back to their website.

Statistics show that the best times to tweet are between 9 to 11 am ET
and 1 to 3pm Eastern Standard Time. Even tools like Timely can help
users to figure out the best times to post for their particular crowd and
then schedule them for tweeting.
The optimal time of day to get retweeted is between 3 pm and 6 pm,
while the best day for it is on Friday.

7. LinkedIn
Statistics
•LinkedIn has over 120 million users, in over 200 countries.
•2 new members every second, which is one million users every 12 days.
•Almost 2 billion people searches were conducted on LinkedIn in 2010
•More than 2 million companies have LinkedIn Company Pages
The best time to publish content on LinkedIn can always vary from network to
network. Since many networks may be exclusive to their own locale or country,
general optimal time to post during US times can be early morning, around 7 am
Eastern Standard Time for those who are coming into work and checking status
updates. Again in the early evening starting between 5 pm and 6 pm catches many
users at the end of their workday.
The best days to post on the business networking site are Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday. Do not post on Mondays when at all possible. Friday is considered
an ineffective posting day as well. While some laud the benefits of weekend post,
you can expect many users will only read or research so deep during their own
personal downtime. Post light reads or quick updates on weekend days.

8. YouTube
Statistics
•YouTube has more content uploaded in the average 60 days than
three of the major television networks have created in 60 years
•YouTube may have the broadest demographics of the big four social networks
with users averaging between the ages of 18 and 54 years old
•YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world
•YouTube receives over 100 million views per day
•84% of internet users view videos online
Sites like TubeIncreaser and Gain YT Views that can help YouTube channels
increase their viewers and subscribers. While sites like these have legitimate
benefits utilizing them overly can have negative effects. The fact is, many YouTube
viewers will not even expend the time to check out a video if it has little or no
views, so increasing views on your videos can actually increase the views on your
video. Make sense?
However, nothing goes further when creating videos for your business than to go
by helpful guidelines during the creation process. Keeping top tips in mind is the
best guarantee that your content is relevant, high-quality, and a source of
leveraging brand awareness for your business.
