Google announced today that they will now be able to index flash files. Will this lead to a new form of image keyword stuffing? I would expect like always to see it first on torrent sites, porn etc. (so I've heard).
Expect to see a lot of keyword rich animations buttons etc. No doubt the GA would be ready for such a brute force attempt but the more subltle uses of this technique will work.
Well it seems the National Australia Bank is unrepentant when it comes to them placing commercial comments on blogs.
It can be very tempting when you see an
online community that matches your
demographic to wade in are start selling your
wares.
Don't. It's just rude. It's like
walking into someone's party in a park and
trying to sell everyone stuff. Or using the emergency lane on the freeway because you're running late!
Their are
better, more efficient strategies that you
can use.
The NABs
campaign was implemented by their PR agency.
I'm hoping it was an ignorance of nettiquette
that led to this stuff up.
Some bloggers
are now calling
for boycotts of the NAB so it looks like the
PR Agency will have some extra work trying to
mend things:-) It's a lot of work to maintain
a busy blog and the work people put into
their blogs is not insignificant. The last
thing any blog owner wants to do, is have to
spend time weeding out spam.
Well according to some blog owners that is definitely the case. I just interveiwed the NAB spokesperson Felicity Glennie-Holmes on the issue so I will include it in this week's show. Will post link back here when done. Stay tuned. National Australia Bank interview
This week's vid takes a look at how the Melbourne Trading Post has not thought through their key phrases and some easy ways to measure the ROI of any online campaign.
The previous post on Advertising Marketing & Media Summit 2008 was more about their lack of search content. I just realised though they spammed me! They spammed me last year as well! I just did a quick search of the desktop and found a couple of old emails from 2007 that weresent to an email Spam trap.
What the..? It's an Advertising and Marketing summit and you're spamming?! No wonder there is bugger all content on the ticket for online marketing. They have no idea.
Why on earth would I attend a summit on advertising organised by spammers? It's a bit like going to a Drug War summit organised by junkies!
Well I did moan and whine about the Advertising Marketing and Media Summit not having terribly much about online marketing and I now rank now 5 for the phrase. In addition to that, by using the key phrases of marketing etc it increases the overall keyword density of the site for those related phrases.
I'll also post a video in a second to see what sort of traction that will have for the phrase.
We have so much business coming in it's getting difficult to find time to devote to the workshops.

Today's vid looks at a classic keyword blunder and what we will be replacing the workshops with.
Melbourne Workshop - 5 tix left!
FREE SAMPLE! Watch now! Here are some comments from people that have attended previous seminars and workshops.
"Just thought I'd give you some feedback on the results we've achieved so far. For 5 very generic terms and those we'd found difficult to previously rank well in, these are the Google (au) search results after 2.5 weeks since attending your seminar: 1. Phrase 1 - 2nd page, 2. Phrase 2 - 1st page, 3. Phrase 3 - 1st page, 4. Phrase 4 - 1st page, 5. Phrase 5 - 1st page
These results have only just occurred mid last week - and it's no coincidence that our enquiry level shot through the roof for Wed, Thu & Fri last week."

Ever wonder why no matter what you do Google seems to ignore you?
There could be a very good reason for it.
Today's vid gives 3 examples that we have seen recently, where the web
developers should have been taken outside and slapped with a large fish.
Preferably something smelly like a mackerel.
All these problems could have been easily avoided. Make sure your web
developer isn't doing any of these things.
If you are having trouble getting seen in Google you need to watch this vid.
