"New Video Business Profiles Showcase the New, Bold and Eclectic"
A new service launched in the Detroit Metro area showcasing businesses online. These clips are backed up with solid search engine optimization so that they will be found on the web. They even have links connecting the profile pages right to the web sites of participating companies. This is the brainchild of Ted Cantu and Internet Direct Marketing legend Jon Mykala.
Here is a sneak peak.....
Rumor has it that they are already scoping out Chicago area businesses. SEO Search Quest now has properties in Florida, California, New York City and Nevada.

Updated Google Policies
The big news this week is that Google is changing its cookie policy. Instead of waiting until 2038 for your cookies to expire they will be null and void in two years !!
This means that if you want to have high search engine rankings you need to keep valid. You need to have spiders reference your site with updated content. This is actually pretty good news for you when you really get down to it.
Consider for a minute how many web site companies out there who don't take care of their customers. Its in the millions trust me. Then combine that with the number of web site owners who don't give a hoo-ha about their own web sites. What you are left with are a lot of neglected web sites who just sit around collecting cyber dust.
This new policy screams for new content. But more importantly you need to alert the search engines so that your pages stay relevant. Apparently there is a loop hole for this and sites can still get ranked and listed.
This is a good thing for those who want to stomp all over their competitors.

SELLING SUCKS - NO DOUBT
"Get The Straight News From People
Who Got Fed Up With The System"
This is one of the smartest books I have read in quite a while. This is one ballsy book. The title alone is a slap in the eyeballs. It demands attention. It demands that you take action. Twenty bucks is a painless drop in the bucket to get some serious answers. If you want fast answers on how to attack your sales problems it does not get any more straight forward than this.
Heres a clue. This book frowns down upon business breakfast meetings and martini cocktail hours. Get out of the endless lines of nonesense and into some serious profit margins.

You can get through this book in about a couple of hours if you are hungry enough. There are so many hot tips in here that just one of them alone will help you fine tune your approach.
Here is the official word:
The focus is always on what top sales pros do (get hot referrals, think like business owners, get free public relations, build communities of prospects) and don't do (go to networking clubs, make cold calls, use traditional techniques like cold calling and closing pitches). So stop selling and start creating the optimal buying conditions; the results might amaze you.

Not All SEO Experts Are Created Equal
Here is a run down of the latest and greatest tools:
http://1seomichigan.com/3.html
**If your looking for real SEO experts this is the site worth checking out.
Even though its going through some major renovations there is a lot of
meat in it. The main source of content is bundled up in the presentations
and scattered through various blogs.
This is going to be cleaned up quite a bit in the days to come. But the major
thing to remember is that this SEO business is technology driven. So instead of
shuffling our feet over what passes for decent Internet marketing we are looking
at pushing the envelope.
Over the recent months we have purposely not listented to other podcasts
in the field of Search Engine Optimization. We currently hold the number ten spot
NATIONWIDE for our online marketing podcast on Podomatic. This entire approach
is intentional. We didn't want to sound like everyone out there.
We wanted to have our own unique position.
This approach has landed us in a bit of hot water with our business partners. We actually
give back 110% return if we fail to do our job of getting you top search engine results.
This is a bold claim that not many people would take on.
In either case, its worth checking out if you haven't already done so.

What Channel Are YOU Watching?
"Paris Hilton's Brave Last Stand To Be The Center of American Attention"
You're a lot better off just turning the TV off these days. Seriously. The NUMBER ONE story of the hour is drunken starlets going round and round for a night on the town and ending up in the county clink. CNN broadcasted the exploits of "wannabe something soon" Paris Hilton every ten minutes for close to 48 hours during her bizarre suspended drunk driving sentence.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Lohan was photographed drunk with her mouth wide open passed out behind the wheel in the Enquirer. This one actually made the front page of a couple of tabloid magazines. Then there is the strange saga of Rachel Ray and her depressing sexual escapades.
There is only one little problem with all this, "news".
I don't care about these people. I don't know them either. But even as an innocent bystander whose only mission in life is to do good and to create substance in other peoples business lives -- I really do not care about these celebrities.
My question is does anyone? Seriously. Does anyone care about these self indulgent people who do nothing in the media except hog it up, stamp and stammer, cry on cue and morrose on and on about how miserable their lives are? I don't support their careeers in media, film, or audio. Yet they are constantly vying for my attention. CNN is steadfast to give it to me. I do not want it. So, I turn it off.
But then again, so do a lot of other people.
IT is no mistake that YOUTUBE.Com has over 100 million viewers of clips per day. That means that while Paris Hilton is going bananas.....
* People are getting customized sports
* Customized comedy
* Uploading independant films
* Uploading product shots
* Creating video clips of their services
The list goes on. And yes, people are downloading them and watching them to boot. The numbers of confirmation of viewers is somewhat mind boggling.
CUSTOMERS FLIP THE VIEWER DEMOGRAPHIC UPSIDE DOWN
A typical viewer on Youtube.com will watch an entire 7 minute clip. They will watch 10 minutes of footage that appeals to them no matter how crappy the quality is. I find this to be very amazing. Recent tests done at SEO Search Quest shows that customers will watch mundane productions and watch them right until the end. They never take into consideration that the production values are somewhat transparent or even nonexistent. They are into the subject matter and what they percieve as news.
The average viewer on broadcast will use the remote and literally zip by hundreds of commercials every hour. These are the commercials that companies pay for so they can reach the customer base en masse. They go through a lot of customers to get the right kind of impressions and make some sort of headway with making thier brand stick into the minds of their public.
If you look at what is really going on it is nothing short of a revolution. And with typical SEO companies flopping around on their bellies like dead fish and media companies charging WAY TOO MUCH to produce high end video clips the job falls into the hands of the new professionals. Street savvy rebels with a cinematic eye and a sense of direction behind the lens.
And they are taking to the streets.

REBEL MARKETING - On the "Ike Engelbaum Show"
"REBEL MARKETING - Kicks Off on the Ike Engelbaum Show - June 7, 07"
This episode completely bypasses all of the traditional marketing routes and delivers content straight to the real fans. That is what Rebel Marketing is all about. This is the true message of what it means to be a real - rebel marketer. This is the most powerful program of its kind in existence because it also uses traditional SEO, (Search Engine Optimization).
This type of marketing is worth taking a look at....
Keep in mind that traditoinal Infomercials are very expensive to produce and they have a starting rate of about $125,000 just to get started.
For more information on how this can help check out this great resource:
SEO Revolution for Michigan area businesses.
