There are a lot of new technologies out there such as blogging, podcasting, social bookmarking and networking, search engine optimization, internet marketing and web2.0. I have been researching these technologies about 40 hours a week this summer to understand how everything fits together. Now, I want to share what I compiled. It’s a basic laundry list and doesn’t go very in depth, but there are a lot of excellent resources in this guide. If anyone has anything to add, please comment!

I. Website ad planning, placement, and analytics:

A. Conducting market research in your company’s field will provide relevant ways to reach potential clients. Some free market research tools/directories from the leaders in the online industry:

1. Google Trends: Find the top trends in the world - what people are searching for most
2. Ebay Pulse: Find what people are buying or looking to buy
3. Google Groups: Find what people are talking about relevant to your industry
4. Technorati: Find the top company/personal blogs
5. Alexa: See what websites are growing fast in the world
6. WordTracker: Free keyword generator/lookup for your industry

B. Using Google Adwords for relevant advertising for your target audience. Google is the best at matching a target audience to what they are looking for and you pay for clicks to your website, not impressions.

C. Tracking your website traffic and source of visitors, whether organic (by search engine using keywords or by referring sites) or by paid advertisements with Google Analytics. This tool also integrates seamlessly with Google Adwords.

II. Use of social networking sites to build online presence.

Providing RSS feeds also makes your company news accessible to mobile devices.

A. YouTube Videos/Podcasting

1. Essential to marketing in 2007 providing media for mobile devices (cell phones, iPhones, iPods).

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. ”
- Steve Jobs

They understand the engineer’s dilemma. Take a normal television remote control. All you really need to use is the power button, channel and volume buttons, and maybe a few others. So why are there 50 more buttons on the remote besides these essential ones? There was too much unused real estate on the remote control of course! When Apple makes a product they strip the functions down to their necessities. Take the iPhone. They took what was already there and made it easy. Call it dumbing down or whatever you like. Almost every feature on the iPhone was possible on previous phones in some way. Apple just took all the great features, spent the time perfecting them and adding their design touch, and making it simple. Anyone can use e-mail, SMS messaging, or the web on an iPhone. The button is right there on the main screen. There are no hidden menus to navigate through.

They are leading the pack integrating and inventing technology. Every product they make is simple yet packed with features. Take a look at the new OS (Leopard) coming out in October or the features on the iPhone. That’s why I made the switch to Apple.

The challenge starts on Wednesday, August 1st, 2007.

So far, I have learned about some great new tools for your website, some I haven’t even heard of before. If you haven’t already, sign up now! Catch up on the blogs, podcasts, video podcasts, and do a little research on the websites he mentions in the videos such as Facebook, Technorati, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg, delicious, and Flickr. I don’t know how to use every one of them to their full advantage, but I think everyone’s in for a treat on Wednesday!
