I’ve been out of touch…

by Laura

It’s been a busy few months, so accept my apologies for not getting this newsletter to you twice a month as I usually do.

We have gained some amazing clients in these past few months.  A public figure who is doing big things in politics as well as one of the ten top internet marketers I would say world wide are now clients.

Unfortunately due to their high profile status., I cannot tell you who these people are, but you can check out what we’ve done so far for one of them on our case study page here.

Why Social Media Might Be More Important than Google..

by Laura

I‘m not sure if you missed this or not but about six weeks ago Facebook changed its designation of fan pages and they are now just called ”pages” If you are so inclined you can quote unquote “like them.” Not only that, Facebook overtook Google is the
number one website worldwide.

Concurrently to this change, Facebook also opened up their like button to websites around the world with their Open Graph protocol. This has huge implications if you realize the power of the viral nature of such a button.

First of all, if you visit a page that has the like button on it and one of your friends has clicked that
they like it, their picture will show up for you to see. You no longer have to click the share button or do anything other than click like in order for you you like
that page and for it to show up on your news stream on Facebook.

In practical terms, you could visit a page, like it, and
then let’s say you have 700 friends. Your 700 friends will also see that you liked that page. Then let’s assume 10 of those people visit the page and like
it. Let’s assume that each of those people also have several hundred friends who then would see
through their Facebook news stream that another one of their friends liked that webpage.
It’s simple. It’s viral. And it scares the hell out of Google.

Even though Google has introduced social search,
real-time search and even Google Buzz, it still doesn’t have the impact of the viral nature of the
new Facebook like button and the new Facebook Like Box.

Then there is the Friendpile plug-in that shows
pictures of the users friends who have already signed up at that site. In one full swoop Facebook has proliferated a huge percentage of the Internet
in a way that no other website has.

I’d love to hear from you what you think about this?

Oh, and if you’re reading this on the Yada Yada Marketing site, do feel free to click the like button above and below this. :-)

Until Next Week!

What do you do when you are going on national television in less than
12 hours and your website doesn’t work?

by Laura

Sounds like an impossible situation, but that is exactly what happened last week.Although I cannot tell you who this public figure is, I can tell you that we were contacted to finish their website, get it working so that people could view their video and fill out a form showing their support.


We stayed up all night and the site was up.  Since Thursday, their video has been viewed over 80,000 times and there have been over 17, 000 people signing up in support of them.

The New Web

by Laura


The last few weeks have been very exciting.  My continued research into
mobile marketing and geographically tagged applications like Four Square,
Gowalla and Twitters new geo functions have opened up a HUGE opportunity
for small local businesses.

It reminds me of what it was like back in 1999 when I started PCDJ.  The
new technology being released then was changing the way we listened to
music and how we lived.




This new technology is doing the same thing for connecting people up on
a local level and local businesses will be the beneficiaries of this if
they know how to take advantage of it.

The Internet made the world smaller, allowing us to communicate across
the world as if it was across town. It’s now coming back to our homes and
neighborhoods and it’s exciting.  Join me Friday for the next Local Search
Dominator webinar and I’ll show you all about it!

This one is wrong on so many levels.  It does, however, gives you an idea
on why historically speaking advertising not trusted!  I suspect the drug
commercials and ads of today will be seen in the future in the same sort
of light. Don’t these advertisers think we notice them talking about the
side effects like death, sexual dysfunction and suicidal thoughts despite
the pictures of rolling hills and soothing music in the background?

Marketing Fail of the Week


spotted-dick.png

Some of the marketing fails I put here, I find on the internet, but I
found this one in my local supermarket.   I did some research and this is most probably Brittish in origin.  I don’t suspect there’s a huge market here in Florida despite the fact that it is microwavable!  Have any of
you ever bought this type of pudding?

The 80/20 rule…sometimes you just need to fire them…

The rule goes like this.  20% of your clients will create 80% of your work .   What happens is you try to appease them and as a result  you end up neglecting the 80% who aren’t a problem.   What do you do then when you encounter this type?  I’ll tell you: FIRE THEM and fire them quickly!

I mention this again as I was reminded this yet again last week.  No matter what, you don’t have to put up with someone who will never be happy with your service or product.   Of course, you should do some soul seraching and make sure that you don’t have anything to address personally, but if you get one of those guys on your lines just get rid of them quickly.

You know the type–never happy, always critcal and demanding more service than they paid for.  In my opinion, the biggest differentiator with these guys is how that person makes you feel.   I have a friend who says to use your “spidey” sense (reference Spider Man.)   I agree. If after a conversation, you’re feeling a bit squished–get rid of them and get rid of them quick.  You’ll find bigger and better business right around the corner!    

Even Google sometimes has SEO problems

Watch this video of Google’s SEO expert Matt Cutts on some of the things he found with Google properties:

Local Search tip!

Have you heard of Four Square?  If you own a local business, Four Square

can help you greatly.  Foursquare is a social network fused with a game that anyone can play, from anywhere
in the world. It allows people to check in to any location they visit and your business can be part of the game.

In fact, if you are set up on Four Square, you can not only attract some business, but it will help your local search ranking.  You can sign up as a business (and add specials, etc.) by filling out your business information here.

The other big thing that is happening is mobile marketing.  I will be going over some of the mobile as well as Four Square and a bunch of other options on the next webinar.  We’ll go over how some of these changes effect you as well as some common sense strategies  to implement so that you don’t
get left in the dust.

This is one you don’t want to miss.

Old Advertisements

Written by Laura Betterly on March 25, 2010 - 0 Comments
Laura's Column

If you are wondering why advertising sometimes gets a bad name, take a look at the advertisements below. This is one of the reasons why publicity is much more powerful, dollar for dollar, than advertising. People still believe publicity. They don’t believe advertising. Taking a look below, you will start to understand why.

Yes, advertising has come a long way in the last 100 years, but if you look carefully, you will see some of the same themes generation to generation. Some things in advertising do not change. Most advertising agencies have pretty much abandoned the old idea of trying to get people to buy something right now, although direct marketers certainly haven’t.

Also, even though you may be doing a publicity campaign, yes, you do need advertising still.

We can help you with that at Yada Yada. Call us today at (800) 920-1985.

Do it now, before your competitors do.

Marketing Fail of the Week

Might be an ok product, bu the name??  Look at the attempt at staying
relevant with the “go green”..

The game continues…

In the last newsletter I went over social search and real time search.
This week real time search has moved to the front page–

Googles just released Google Buzz is now drawing more controversy as it pulls in full feeds (which means you can look at what is on someone else’s site without visiting the site..not too helpful for website owners.)  Read the article here.

See a video on  how to use Google Buzz below.

More changes on the Local Search front!

So about four days ago I was searching as I usually do and discovered

that Google has moved it’s real time search to the from page.  See
this quick video I did on it below.
realtime search.PNG

The importance of this has to do with how to you optimize your website for maximum visability using these new options..

On today’s local search dominator webinar, we’ll go over how some of these changes effect you as well as some common sense strategies  to implement so that you don’t get left in the dust. Click Here to register. This is one you don’t want to miss.

Java Planet is a Tampa Bay based Organic Coffee Roaster.  We designed

their logo, packaging, website

I met with Laura and immediately felt very confident is using Yada Yada
