As a speaker and attendee at the Federated Media Conversational Marketing Summit, I had the opportunity to learn more about innovative social platforms like Foursquare and StickyBits, as well as to hear how companies are using new technologies like these to engage with their customers.

The theme was “marketing in real time,” and while many of the marketers who spoke came from larger companies, the insights they shared may be valid for all businesses.  Customers are spending more time with digital media than traditional media these days, and they have increasing expectations for real-time communication with brands.  As Federated Media’s CEO John Battelle said at the start of the Summit, we are in the midst of a rapid shift to real time, local, and mobile marketing.  Regardless of size, successful brands will be those that embrace this shift and engage with their customers.

Part of the challenge, of course, is to understand the technology trends and how they may affect your business.  So I want to share with you some key trends discussed at the Summit, along with links to articles that can offer additional insights.

1.  Mobile marketing.  With the proliferation of smartphones and other mobile devices, customers are finding and exchanging information in more channels than before.  For business owners, this can mean a range of considerations, from, at a minimum, taking a look at how you can optimize your website for mobile, to how to use existing mobile messaging platforms or develop your own application.

2.  Location-based marketing.  With the rise in mobile marketing, there is also an increase in demand for recognition based on location.  Through technology, customers can share where they shop, eat, and other activities – and brands can reward their loyalty.  It’s a trend that seems to even the playing field some, offering smaller, local businesses like restaurants and retail stores the opportunity to recognize regular customers and offer special promotions.  “How to Make Your Small Business Geolocation-Ready” offers a helpful overview.

3.  Social marketing.  While not new, this is still very much an evolving trend, moving from an expectation of engagement to one of recognition, as well.  Some larger brands at the Summit discussed creating and customizing content according to customer geography and interests.  This is likely more than what smaller businesses can achieve, however, there are other ways to reward customers, such as through tools like Foursquare.  (Find more information in “Foursquare for Business:  Is There a Real Opportunity?”)

4.  Connecting online with offline.   While some sites connect social networking with your physical location, Stickybits connects social networking to physical objects.  Using a smartphone scanner, the Stickybits app, and unique barcodes that you can download and print, you can attach content to an object that the next person who then scans the barcode can see.

While these new technologies may seem very interesting, they may not all be appropriate for your business.  I encourage you to evaluate them against your marketing goals and resources before jumping in.  If you do start using them – or already are – please share your experiences with me at maryann @ openforum.com.  I’m sure other OPEN Forum readers would like to hear your story.

If you want the best search engine optimization results you have to start with the best possible SEO keywords and use them well. How you go about selecting your keywords is every bit as important as how you choose to use them. Whether you use them in your website’s content or you use them in your article submissions, your keywords are the heart of your search engine optimization results.

When you select the keywords, you have to determine which of the words will give you the best chance at grabbing the attention of the web crawlers while also maintaining reasonable competition among your direct competitors. The more research you put into your keywords the bigger your overall outcome will be.

Research doesn’t just include looking up what keywords are most popular among your competitors, but also checking out the rate of use your prospective keywords are receiving in user ratings. How often are users typing in one related keyword over another?

Keep in mind that there are various nuances between keywords. There is a difference between the word auto and the word car, for instance, and using the word appropriately in your text can mean the difference between success and failure.

Making the selection is just as important as using it appropriately. Do not overuse the keywords. This is known as keyword stuffing and is not considered a viable way to attract the attention of web crawlers. Keeping your keyword use to about 1% to 2% is much more appropriate than jamming your text full of keywords. You want to use the words in normal, everyday language rather than snaking them in there as many times as possible.

Every time you add a new keyword or keyword phrase to the text on your website you have to remember to update your indexing with the search engines. This is how the web crawlers find you faster and easier even with competition for the keywords. Consistent and systematic efforts are the key to making your best search engine optimization efforts truly pay off.

Have you ever paid attention to the affiliate marketing news? This is a new affiliate marketing error and it is here to stay for good. Many people today are making an absolute killing being an affiliate marketer. There are many message boards dedicated to affiliate marketing tips and affiliate marketing help. The best kind of affiliate marketing you can get yourself into though is niche affiliate marketing. If you discover the right niche, especially a “cash cow” you will be rolling in some serious money just like I did. If you do your homework it is not hard to find a hot selling niche. Internet based affiliate marketing has turned your average Joe into multi-millionaires within a year or less. If you show a never give up attitude, hard work, and self-determination you can go a long way in the affiliate marketing business.

Just take a look for a moment on Clickbank. This is one of the greatest affiliate marketing sites around. You can do a search and find a topic that you love and if that topic is selling well that is also a plus. The best way to be an internet based affiliate marketing guru is to study the niches and trends in today’s society. Whatever is selling well you need to promote it hard. If you use Clickbank all the work is already done for you such as an excellent sales page, the finished product, and banner links. The secret to affiliate marketing is writing articles and paid advertising through google. I highly recommend writing as many articles you can as an expert on the topic you are trying to sell. Write an informative article giving people the knowledge and confidence in the product you are trying to promote. The sales page is already there and if you have a strong sales page to use all you will have to do is land people to that page through your link and BOOM you got a sale. Most affiliate programs pay up to 75% of each sale you get on the product. For example, let’s say the product is $50.00. You make $37.50 on each sale, more than the actual owner of the product! You absolutely can’t lose! What’s great about this business is the only thing you can waste is your time. There is no start-up costs involved in this market.

Online promotion affiliate marketing is everywhere you go. Take the time to do extensive research before you jump into promoting a certain product. The great thing about internet marketing affiliate programs is you have all the tools necessary to do a great job in this business. You can do it all right in the comfort of your own home. There are many affiliate marketing resources out there available at your fingertips. Make a goal of 2 sales a day starting out and eventually aim for 10+. If you write enough articles and do enough paid advertising you can reach your goal in no time. I wish you the best of luck!

So-called behavioral targeting of advertising — or collecting data about Internet users to present them with tailored marketing — has come under increased scrutiny. Last year, the Federal Trade Commission drafted principles for behavioral advertising, and said that it would “evaluate the development of self-regulatory programs and the extent to which they serve the essential goals set out in the principles.”

Last week, a trio of privacy advocacy groups filed a complaint with the FTC, urging it to investigate the ability of Yahoo, Google, Microsoft and others to let marketers collect information about unwitting Internet users through advertising exchanges.

Yahoo has been a pioneer in the use of behavioral targeting, while Google began using behavioral targeting last year. Microsoft also has acquired and developed technology that can enable targeted advertising.

Whereas search advertising can use keywords to trigger relevant advertising, display advertising — which is expected to become increasingly profitable — must rely on other sources to identify the possible interests of users.

Last month, the NAI released a study showing that behaviorally targeted advertising produced an average of 2.68 times more revenue per ad than non-targeted advertising in 2009.

But while the industry has mostly employed an “opt-out” approach, requiring users to actively avoid targeting programs, the FTC has noted widespread criticism of such systems.

Instead, many privacy groups have advocated for “opt-in” systems, which would create a transparent way for users to actively choose whether to participate in behavioral advertising.

The specifications announced Wednesday by the IAB and NAI will mean “consumers have access to more information when they are being served an ad based on their interests and behaviors,” the groups said in their statement.

Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va., is widely expected to introduce a privacy bill that could curb some behavioral targeting of advertising later this year.

John Letzing is a MarketWatch reporter based in San Francisco.
