Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney

 Barack Obama is the 44th president of the United States of America. Mitt Romney, is a former Governor of Massachusetts and is the presumptive Republican nominee for President in 2012

According to a new report from the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, the Obama campaign is a more prolific poster of content -- posting four times as much content as the Romney campaign -- and is active on nearly twice as many platforms.

Romney has to compete against someone who integrated internet campaigning into his campaign from the beginning in 2008. Barack Obama has internet experience on his side.Romney needs to be worried about progress and not the overall numbers,He needs to gain ground by Tweeting more information about his campaign and about his policies, which will increase how often he reaches the people he influences.

SMALL BRANDS can make BIG NAMES for themselves.

BIG BRANDS can be outsmarted without making huge investments, and SMALL BRANDS can make BIG NAMES for themselves.

                      

More and more small businesses are recognizing the marketing power of social media and joining such sites as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Indeed, Facebook alone is anticipated to reach one billion users by the end of 2012. Even those who have been most resistant to joining the revolution are unable to ignore the ability of social media to attract customers via the viral nature of social networking.

SEO OR PPC ?

There are two major search engine marketing strategies in use today: SEO and PPC (pay-per-click). These two methods are very different, and deciding which one is right for you can be hard. 

The immediate feedback provided by pay-per-click can tell an internet marketer a lot about the effectiveness of their landing pages and chosen keyphrases, while search engine optimization can be used as a low cost way to continue driving website traffic for the long-term.
                      

Deciding Which one  will do more for your website depends on what your website’s like

Promoting your website on Top Search Engines.

 When a user types in a keyword or search phrase into a search enginequery box, they will receive a listing of website's that offer information, products and services related to that keyword. Search engines strive to list the most qualified and optimized website's at the top of their list.

SEO is the practice of modifying visible and invisible website content in addition to establishing links from other relevant website's to gain a higher prominence on the internet.

                                   

OPTIMIZING YOUR SITE REGULARLY IS KEY TO MAINTAINING HIGH RANKINGS IN THE ENGINES FOR THE KEYWORDS YOU DESIRE.
