SEO produces more leads than Pay Per Click

Search engine optimisation is definitely the number one way to obtain leads for both business to consumer and also business to business marketers, beating both Pay Per Click and social multimedia promotion in a recent study of internet marketers. But more of those surveyed state they want to increase their social media advertising budgets in 2012, before SEO and PPC.

The figures come from the 2011 State of Digital Marketing Report, which was authored by Webmarketing123, a California-based internet marketing company. The company surveyed above 500 U.S. online marketers in August and September.

Strangely as we have already been stating at Local Link Up for some time period, if you would like to get the greatest success from your internet advertising spending budget it needs to be focused on the Search engine optimisation industry however we feel that as real successes are difficult to get and keep track of in this sector businesses basically keep away from doing it when this could easily be a awesome source of fresh clients. Local Link Up is the no worries, no risk Pay Per Rank service. If you would like very good results while not taking risks with your budget in the Search engine optimisation field then there is only one company to call.

.mobi is the future of advertising at Local Link Up

Well following substantial demand our engineers are in the process of perfecting an addition to our superb website builder package to allow our customers and designers to produce superb mobile versions of websites and to allow regular updates easily like all Local Link Up products.

In just a few weeks we will be releasing this option to all customers so they can tap in to the lucrative mobile search market which now makes up almost 33% of all search requests.

I will keep you posted.

Have you blogged today? Its easy with Local Link Up

Blogging has long been seen as a great way to update your website. Most SEO specialists suggest that you regularly write updates to your website in the form of blog posts at least once or twice each week. Google and other search engines look at websites and rank them more highly if their content is often fresh and a simple blog post about your subject matter can have huge benefits to your search engine rankings.

Just like me writing this blog, you too can enhance the content of your website by adding a blog to your website which you can get your website designer to add for you usually for a reasonable cost but did you know that in all Local Link Up websites we have a blog built-n free of charge. You can get blogging right away with no fuss and absolutely no cost. Just log in to your Local Link Up Plink or Pro Design website and click on the blog editor. The rest is easy, just fill in the boxes and your post will go live.

But that's not all, if you choose our Facebook page option, any post you make to your blog will also be updated at the same time to your Facebook page and posted on Twitter to easing the burden of updating multiple important content sources for your business.

Local Link Up makes it easy to be a blogger so why not get started enhancing your content today.

Business Advertising Solutions through Local Link Up

Read a recent review of Local Link Up

Business Advertising Solutions through Local Link Up
The business world has become so competitive that it is almost impossible for new businesses to establish themselves in a well-known market niche. Moreover, advertising campaigns have become more aggressive with most businesses relying on search engine campaigns to get word out to their target audience. However, one of the major risks involved with search engine campaigns is that they often tend to be risky. You may easily spend quite a lot of money on a campaign that does not produce good results as there is no guarantee that your website will ever reach the first page on any of the popular search engine results yet you still pay for the campaign.

However, one of the easiest and completely risk-free business advertising solutions is the Pay Per Result innovation that was pioneered by Local link Up. Local Link Up is a UK-based company that specializes in increasing one’s target market by offering and developing low cost business advertising solutions that are geared towards achieving results for their customers. The PPR innovation is distinctly different from the normal search engine advert campaigns in that you only pay for the keywords chosen only if your website has reached the top page of Google’s search engine.

The PPR SEO integration feature works through a series of simple steps that will allow you to greatly increase your website’s awareness across the internet. A new user to the Local Link Up website gets a new, free Plink Profile built on a web address of their own choice. Moreover, with the PPR option, they also get the opportunity to select numerous key phrases that they would like the Local Link Up website to use so as to carry out the business advertising campaign. The selection of the Key phrases is simply done through a keyword selector tool in which one types in the keywords or phrases that the customers may identify with, as well as the location that is served by the individual’s company. The process ends with the keyword tool generating an automatic quote based on what has been entered.
Tracking the progress of this free business advertising solution is quite easy and is done through the dashboard. This utility also allows for one to monitor their billing and account information.

Lately, a lot of emphasis has been placed on social media marketing and how social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ can help businesses advertise themselves to potential online customers. However, one of the major problems is that it tends to be quite difficult to manage one’s business as well as managing the different social network accounts without a social media specialist. As such, Local link Up developed a new business advertising solution for this particular problem.

The Total Internet Marketing or TIMS solution is a new business advertising feature that allows you to update your audience on the different networks through a single source. This is done through the LLU TIMS control panel in which one can simply perform all their tasks that they would do on a normal social media account such as posting thoughts, adding friends, updating their profile, etc.

In this way local Link Up can then monitor feedback from the different social networks and within a short amount of time, your audience will vastly increase in number. While Local Link Up has a number of free business advertising solutions, there are also numerous benefits to be gained by upgrading and becoming a premium member through the PlinkPlus and Pro Design options. PlinkPlus users get gallery features as well as enhanced company descriptions while some of the noteworthy benefits for the Pro Design option include a custom designed website, domain name registration, as well as gallery features and the existing features of the PlinkPlus option.
