An email I received from A. friend…
The basic trends is a little dated. Use insights for search and trends for websites. Also, if you use iGoogle you can track specific phrases on your personal page. So it becomes a daily thing
I also use www.compete.com and www.quantcast.com. Also, I use google analytics / awstats for sites I support. This covers both micro and macro analysis.
I’ve used ad words, but not often. I think I’m more successful in marketing using basic SEO and these tools.

Hey Joe,
Do you use Google trends to figure out the optimum title for blog posts? Or do you use Google ad words? I would like Trends to tell me the top search terms related to health care, for example, but it’s not as clear as I’d like. Maybe I’m missing something.

Video Training Demo
Sep 7
This is another concept we’ve been working on… Using free services like Live Stream and YouTube to train the masses. With Live Stream it’s possible to make these sessions interactive. Using YouTube, a group can archive and market their video trainings to an international audience. This allows the trainee to participate from anywhere at any time, at their own pace.
Check it out… this is a simple example of wirecast production abilities being streamed to mogulus, a free live streaming solution. I think this is a good match. Watch out talking heads.
Facebook Marketing Question
Mar 19
Question: What do you think about having every blog post in facebook?
Answer:
Everything on the web is separated in to traffic sources… One of the big three is, search engine. It would be nice if “public policy” was in such high interest that it would appear in the top 10 in the regional searches. The reality is that not going to happen anytime soon. The next best option is to connect your policy sites with the top ten for your region. When its a specific website keyword, as you can see below, you want to get your content available on that website(s), because that is where the traffic is. ***I don’t like myspace because of its gutter like nature. Of the top ten, the Louisiana population is searching for: myspace, youtube and facebook. These sites all have high traffic for your region so why not put up a free bill board? Free in the monetary sense, this stuff takes time.
