Internet Marketing

Building social media followers

• Website • Contest/drawings - tag two of your friends! • In person calls to action - sign in the ice cream shop that says 'follow us on fb' • Events - technology shows, trade shows, etc. • Advertising - advertise on fb for people to like your page

Four different kinds of goals -

• destination goal (Thank you for registering!) • time on site - 10 minutes or longer on a support site • Page/screens per sessions - 5 or more pages • Event - social media click, video play, recommendation

Search based directory

(google) but it use to pull up pages that most closely matched with the exact keywords. Then relevance AND popularity was used in algorithms

List based directory

(yahoo) takes too long

Modified broad match

+wedding +utah +dj - shows up when these words are in any order or if any one word is in a search term. (great if keywords are often misspelled or if people use synonyms.)

Negative keywords

- oregon. This means that any term that has 'oregon' in it will not trigger the ad to show Bidding strategies

Virality (10.5)

- probability of forwarding, n (number of people that get exposed to it), viewed = virality coefficient needs to be above one meaning one person sees it and 1.1 more people will see it. X = Pf * N * Pv where X is the number of additional video views generated from a single person viewing the video, Pf is the probability of that person forwarding the video to other people, either by posting it on a social media account or by emailing it to a group of people, N is the number of people who see this forward, and Pv is the probability of any person who receives this forward viewing the video. We can use this formula to calculate the number of free views the company will gain from posting this video to Facebook.

Targeting methods - Ad groups use one of four targeting methods

1- Keywords - display ads show up on sites that were found using the selected keywords. Or sites that use select keywords that relate to what you want 2- Interest - if you regularly search for DJ gear then you'll see a DJ ad on a cell phone site you're on. Uses past search terms to target you. 3- Topics - the topic of the website is matched with the topic of the ad. 4- Placements - specifically choose what websites your ad shows up on
