Major search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and Bing offer some of todays most affordable and effective advertising opportunities. They are the ideal way to geographically target local consumers from the internet. 43 of search engine users are seeking a local merchant offering products or services to buy offline, and 54 of search engine users have completely substituted internet search for their copy of the Yellow Pages, and as population ages, the percentage is rising. These stats tell us that consumers are looking for products or services from a local business, which tell us that the chances are good that their search begins or ends on the internet.
Marketing without measurement is like playing Dodgeball blindfolded. Someones bound to catch one in the eye. Our analysis and reporting will track which ads are effective in drawing traffic to the site, and which offers on your web site are effective in attracting customer attention. We can then determine which ad campaigns to drop, and which campaigns to sustain. This concept alone will cut advertising costs drastically, and will cause campaigns to become self-sustaining. When your ads are effective and profitable, you can spend more time satisfying customers, and less time finding them.

13 Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing is an emerging concept that is being utilized by businesses in developing online communities for the value-added effect of connecting users. The concept itself is brilliant, in that the business hosting the collaborative environment maintains control over the environment, controlling the media, the message, and the advertising. New media marketing typically uses mechanisms such as blogs, forums and message boards, podcasts, product reviews, RSS feeds, and a support system or Wiki.
The rise of social media marketing has in part presented because of the premise that traditional advertising is losing its effect on consumers. This is backed by statistics demonstrating an increasing trend of consumers making their purchasing decisions based on internet research and referrals. Consumers seem to be more inclined to put stock in feedback from like-minded peers, consumers just like themselves, rather than a corporate-funded marketing campaign disseminated via traditional advertising on television, radio or print.
14 Content Development
Know what you want to say, but cant find the words? Or are you too busy to keep your Web site updated properly? YDO offers professional copywriting services to help improve site performance, and let you focus on your business.
Copywriting is one of those fields that people think anyone can do. After all, if you speak the language, you should be able to put it on a web site, right? Web copy is not just about telling the public what you want them to know. Theres a strategy behind specific words used, in terms of readability for a target audience, and accessibility to search engines. Its even important to consider how information is arranged. Generating copy and content that will rank well with search engines, that will be attainable by a target audience, and will motivate an audience to a particular action, that takes talent.
