<p><strong><span style="font-size: xx-large;">How to Get to Google Page One: For Plastic Surgeons and Cosmetic Surgeons</span></strong></p>
<p>As a cosmetic or plastic surgeon, you&#8217;re in a web marketing sweetspot. First of all, as far as regional competition, while there may be many clinics competing for the same dollar, your barrier to entry is high. Couple that with the fact that you&#8217;re really not competing against the 20 other reconstructive surgery clinics in your building. You&#8217;re actually only competing with 9 other plastic surgeons.</p>
<p>There are only ten competitors in the top ten of Google. And the traffic that flows across that page dwarfs the traffic that crosses your front door.</p>
<p>So all you have to do is get on page one of google under &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C746VSnX4Qs">plastic surgeon LA or NYC or Chicago</a>&#8221; and basically a tributary of the entire Nile river gets diverted to your waiting room.</p>
<div class="p_embed p_image_embed"><img src="http://getfile9.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/AuesJfeIHxlizBhGsHBpmmDDCtgnvraBdrnvtowksxFuhxleuvsoeuBpkEab/media_httpfileswitnes_uhhJH.jpg.scaled500.jpg" alt="Media_httpfileswitnes_uhhjh" width="313" height="464" /></div>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">What you have to do to get to page one of Google</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">First of all, if you want to get to page one of a complex automated ranking system like Google, you have to understand how google&#8217;s algorithm works. Our very own chief strategic engineer explains in his latest video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml7tx3sff4Y">Google SEO LA, Chicago, NYC</a>. But let&#8217;s summarize below anyway.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">1. Google measures the quantity and quality of the references to your website.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">2. The greater the number of inbound links pointing to your website, the more boyant it becomes.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">3. The greater the relevance of each inbound link, the faster and higher it swims upstream. </span></strong></p>
<div class="p_embed p_image_embed"><img src="http://getfile0.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/gcfqfIczbzxEkDoJBBbuEraEAsJjJoExHmhafsBurvGDqnBrqjktddBBocpv/media_httpbiggovernme_jAjdu.jpg.scaled500.jpg" alt="Media_httpbiggovernme_jajdu" width="350" height="223" /></div>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>4. Link relevance is measured by how closely related your site&#8217;s main theme is to that of the linking site.</strong><br />
In other words, if your site is about cosmetic surgery but the site linking to you is a auto mechanic&#8217;s website, Google measures that link as a low relevance link.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The best link you can get is from another plastic surgeon to your site. And it&#8217;s strategically ideal. Make an alliance with cosmetic surgeons that don&#8217;t compete with you in your locality and promote each other. We at sparkah.com already have a house full of Surgeons who are willing to co-market and trade links and references with you. Call us at 310 598 1606 to discuss getting your site featured on the websites of other cosmetic surgeons around the world.</span></p>
<div class="p_embed p_image_embed"><img src="http://getfile5.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/pDEjvujCxpmjdwjbpbzGlvEclJCfIwsrjBlzdCxFBHyCsmDFIEshyhAbdgnx/media_httpchinadivide_yxHeo.jpg.scaled500.jpg" alt="Media_httpchinadivide_yxheo" width="292" height="256" /></div>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>5. Google prefers promoting it&#8217;s own properties. </strong><br />
Have you ever noticed how many youtube videos show up under any Google search? Google owns Youtube. Youtube ads drive revenues for Google. So to get an unfair advantage on the ladder to Google, produce content on Google&#8217;s property. Make youtube videos.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>6. Google promotes wordpress blogs.</strong><br />
It&#8217;s hard to notice the absence of a thing so I&#8217;ll just explain what you&#8217;ll never see in Google. In google, you&#8217;ll rarely or never see a Tumblr blog or Posterous.com Blog. These are two powerful and fast growing blogging platforms. But you&#8217;ll rarely to never see them on Google because Google can&#8217;t make money on these urls. These sites don&#8217;t allow easy bolt-ons of Adwords ads. WordPress does. If Google features a WordPress blog post in a result, Google&#8217;s own likelihood of getting paid increases.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">TOP SECRET:</span> 7. Google measures click throughs on it&#8217;s own page.</strong><br />
This one is a major internet marketing and Google SEO trade secret. If two websites have exactly the same merit, how do you think Google chooses which gets to be #1 and which gets to be #2?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Actually, Google doesn&#8217;t choose. You do. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">What happens in this case is that naturally, the #1 result should get about 70% more clicks than the #2 result. And the #2 result should get about 50% more clicks than the #3 result &#8230; etc&#8230; BUT if the #3 result gets more clicks than the expected norm for that slot, Google will bump it up to #2 and drop the second listing to #3. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">This is why we frequently ask our Facebook and Twitter audience <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/journik/statuses/138863535643037698">if we are on page one of a given search</a>. Our followers Google that term and click on our listing causing Google to vault our listing even higher.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The only thing that dictates whether your site exceeds CTR norms for that position is the Title and Description tag. Write carefully. And Again, if you need help getting to page one of Google, We&#8217;re the worlds 2nd best Google SEO Company. Call us at 310 598 1606</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">It&#8217;s true.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Seoul is considered, by many economists, the most competitive major city on earth. With over 25 million Seoulites competing for the same jobs, parking space, job title, and even stable marriage mate, you can imagine how early fierce competition must start.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, the Ministry of Education of Korea banned late night studying because children as young as 14 years of age were getting white hair. Due to exhaustion, sleep deprivation and stress, their hair follicles fail to produce pigment. There&#8217;s even a name for this phenomenon in Korean. It&#8217;s called &#8220;sah chee.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">So in this environment, you can understand why parents not only let their daughters get plastic surgery done at the age of 16 years old. But you can understand why many parents even offer a nose job as a reward for getting straight A&#8217;s in high-school.</span><a href="http://sparkah.com/wp-content/uploads/ad-surgery.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1173" title="ad-surgery" src="http://sparkah.com/wp-content/uploads/ad-surgery.png" alt="" width="528" height="234" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The flip side to this frenetic life style is that even if you want to totally reshape your jaw, go for eye lid surgery or a nose job, the plastic surgeons here in Seoul are the best on the planet. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">And this is the list of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R81y_LrIcjk">Plastic Surgeons in Seoul Korea</a>.</span></p>

<h1>Next: Top Trade Show Booth Design Mistakes</h1>
<p>In a previous relationship, my girlfriend at the time thought it would be fun to attend a wedding and home trade show at the local convention center. Although the purpose of this trip was to imagine our future together as a couple possibly leading to marriage, all I could do was focus on the trade show booth designs and the signs that surrounded them.</p>
<p>Although I don’t have a design or artistic background, it was pretty evident that some of the trade show booths on display were quite horrendous. If presentation is the first step in attracting potential buyers that can lead to sales, some of these trade booths, to me, were not making a very attractive presentation.</p>
<p>As such, here are some common trade show booth mistakes I decided to research and write about. These are in no particular order.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.midlanddisplay.com/prodimages/LinearExpression08.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="180" /></p>
<p>1. The size of the booth. At the wedding and home trade show I attended, most of the booths were “medium sized”, as in I did not find them too large or too small. However, some booths were much too large for the product they were selling. For example, a booth that was promoting the cloth wipes that could hold a hundred times its own weight actually had a booth that took up almost 3 or 4 regular sized booths.</p>
<p>To me, this seemed a bit over the top and made the vendor actually look desperate to sell their products. In addition, the large space was mostly empty with only a few representatives in the actual booth. As such, I had no clue what the product was, or who were working at the booth to inquire about the product itself.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.midlanddisplay.com/images/10x10Alumalite_Category.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="184" /></p>
<p>2. Too many signs. Here I am talking about both conventional print signs and electronic neon and flat panel display signs. I noticed that having too many signs in the booth was a cause for disorientation and confusion. Being bombarded with neon and TV displays took away from the message of the booth presentation and promotion of the product and annoyed me to the point where I just wanted to leave. Couple this with the noise of thousands of people walking and talking at a large indoor convention center, made the experience even worse.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.midlanddisplay.com/images/10x10EZ12_Category.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="184" /></p>
<p>3. Cluttered, hard to read fonts. From my experience, trade show booths do themselves a disservice by not only having too many signs and displays, but also if the font used is hard to read, too small, or too “unique”. Deviating from the fonts we are used to makes the booth signs look awkward. As a result, I would imagine most people will not know what the name of the company or product the booth represents. In addition, the font should not be too cluttered or interlaced to look fancy and modern, when in fact, it just looks plain messy and unreadable.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.prlog.org/11344771-trade-show-models.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>4. The booth displays do not convey a clear message. When one watches a commercial on TV, the consumer must know what the commercial is selling. Similarly, a consumer must know what the trade booth is selling or promoting in order to be effective. Having sexy models or abstract visuals of a horse galloping in the wind along the seashore, when the booth is trying to sell mouse pads for example, does not get the product across to potential customers.</p>
<p>From my experiences, I believe that these are the biggest four mistakes that trade show booths present when trying to promote or sell their products to the public. Hopefully when I attend the next one, it will not only be with a girl that I’m actually going to marry, but also the booth displays will make me what to purchase what it is designed to sell and promote.</p>

<h1>What Percentage of Discretionary Spending is Spent by Expats? Answer:</h1>
<p>We just recently got a French luxury travel website as a new client. They are opening a Seoul, Korea based sales force and targeting Koreans with disposable discretionary income. When they came to us, they were dead set on only advertising through Naver &#8212; NOT Google.</p>
<p>I find that most clients who speak with our Sparkah Asia team come to us with the same mind set. They look at the naver media kit and sure enough, the numbers don&#8217;t lie:</p>
<p>Only 1.8 Percent of the Population in Seoul Korea and the rest of the Country does NOT use Naver.</p>
<p>In other words, only 1.8 % of Koreans exclusively use Google.</p>
<p>So it would be a logical choice to solely focus on web marketing via Naver. But you&#8217;d be wrong.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3289/3043650821_68fcf3d768.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="500" /></p>
<p>Everybody is thinking along the same lines. All your competitors are also targeting that same 98.2% of the pie. Every industry and every business is competing for the limited disposable discretionary income of that 98.2% of the pie. So you see our argument: You should seriously consider targeting that 1.8% of the Korean population.</p>
<p>WAIT.</p>
<p>Before you laugh and walk away at the seemingly insignificant market size we&#8217;re advising you to focus your marketing and business strategy on, do you know who that 1.8% is? If you tighten the geography and ask what percent of the people just in the city of Seoul, not all of Korea, exclusively use Google, that number almost quadruples to 5.7%.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4MUf6T4VzPw/Sxp8DIA2qKI/AAAAAAAAMyw/mAc4x9zrq1I/s320/50000-korean-won-banknote-papercraft.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p>
<h1>Why You Should Target Expats and Foreigners with Google &#8211; Not Naver</h1>
<p>The people who make up that 1.8% of Korea are mostly all in Seoul. And they make up 5.7% of Seoul. They are Expats and Foreigners.</p>
<p>Their culture, their buying habits, their spending habits (totally different than buying habits), and disposable income is completely different than that of native Koreans. Native Koreans, especially Seoulites are aggressive savers. Its common for a mid 20&#8242;s Korean female to have over 100,000 USD in liquid savings. Westerners, especially Americans, can only survive for about 6 weeks if they lose their job. And they are typically about $40,000 in credit card debt.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s the multi billion dollar question (literally): What percentage of the discretionary spending in Seoul Korea do you think expats and foreigners command? What percent of the luxury hand bags, movie tickets, Ferraris, and bottles of Soju is purchased by NON-Korean Expats? What is the expat spending in seoul korea?</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll have to watch the video: <a title="google seo consultant in seoul korea" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lW1TvCLj9o">Google SEO Expert Consultant in Seoul Korea Reveals Expat Spending in Korea and How to Get to Page One of Google</a>.</p>

<div class="p_embed p_image_embed"><a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/uCxjxfdDrJuloJrkxmFprHHFwcdCElhlCtdsFhwpBJmtjJcqtFjdcjrwFqkp/media_httphamptonsgue_zFhmw.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img  style="margin-bottom:12px;" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/uCxjxfdDrJuloJrkxmFprHHFwcdCElhlCtdsFhwpBJmtjJcqtFjdcjrwFqkp/media_httphamptonsgue_zFhmw.jpg.scaled500.jpg" alt="Media_httphamptonsgue_zfhmw" width="500" height="332" /></a></div>
<p>We all know the concept of a side door.</p>
<p>Everyone tries to get in through the front door of a club, a concert, an exhibit&#8230; the people who really get in without any hassle are the ones who use the side door.</p>
<p>Well, with bloggers, it&#8217;s the same.</p>
<p>Getting mentioned by a power blogger is a multi benefit. First, you get immediate exposure to their loyal readership of thousands instantly. Second, since they get many inbound links, you&#8217;ll immediately shoot up to the top of Google. But since everybody knows this everyone is going to try to hit them up.</p>
<p>This is what most people try:</p>
<div class="p_embed p_image_embed"><a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/sDDzDbIwwtCBGcchiGBknuxDvyDwJFxhiCeudchrreeEdvfxgwvnBdvhgsef/media_httpwwwgoodbyem_ovBtd.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img  style="margin-bottom:12px;" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/sDDzDbIwwtCBGcchiGBknuxDvyDwJFxhiCeudchrreeEdvfxgwvnBdvhgsef/media_httpwwwgoodbyem_ovBtd.jpg.scaled500.jpg" alt="Media_httpwwwgoodbyem_ovbtd" width="500" height="333" /></a></div>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: xx-large;">They Use The Front Door</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>1. They use the contact link.</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. They tweet </strong><br />
at people like @xenijardin <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/xenijardin">http://twitter.com/#!/xenijardin</a></p>
<p><strong>3. They try to email.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">IF you&#8217;re a PR pro, you&#8217;ll</span></strong></span></p>
<p><strong>4. ask for their content calendar</strong><br />
and you&#8217;ll try to tie in your product or company to something relevant to them.</p>
<p>STOP.</p>
<p>Unless you&#8217;re getting paid hourly by the US government, don&#8217;t try any of the above futility.</p>
<p>Everyone is using these methods. As far as method #4, there are far fewer people who as savvy enough to ask for a content calendar so while the volume of competition shrinks with this approach, all the others asking for a content calendar are  seasoned PR pros who went to Columbia University for their journalism degree.</p>
<p>So if you use any of the above strategies, you&#8217;re literally</p>
<p><strong>a. competing with a huge number of amateurs</strong></p>
<p><strong>b. smaller number of seasoned power pr vets.</strong></p>
<p>And, worst of all, even if you do get scheduled for inclusion into a power blogger&#8217;s blog like mashable or boingboing, it&#8217;s going to be on THEIR time table. It&#8217;s going to be when THEY want to mention you&#8230; NOT when you need the traffic for your seasonal sales push.</p>
<div class="p_embed p_image_embed"><img  style="margin-bottom:12px;" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/sauAruhmqiuEnlAcnfHBCjyvgzfwFrtJzErxfqsFtCqkmpHkqhxeoyejtuEt/media_httpwwwthefaste_DAjtB.jpg.scaled500.jpg" alt="Media_httpwwwthefaste_dajtb" width="500" height="336" /></div>
<p>So, instead, use just the side door.</p>
<p>The side door has <a href="http://sparkah.com/google#bloggers">7 steps to get you into a power-blogger&#8217;s blog</a> in just a few hours. In fact, these steps are only used by industry insiders like Michael Arrington (sold his blog: techcrunch for $30 million dollars) and Jason Calacanis (sold his blog network for about $27 Million) and even Google itself. Basically, it&#8217;s the difference between how a realtor looks at realestate vs Donald Trump. And the 7 steps specifically give you detailed instructions and steps to follow.</p>
<p>After your first read, you&#8217;ll immediately wonder why you didn&#8217;t do this any sooner.</p>
<p>In fact&#8230; I&#8217;ll give you one of the steps that didn&#8217;t make the grade. This is a strategy to get into major power blogs that wasn&#8217;t even worth including in the 7 step list. But, it&#8217;s more powerful than anything that most people ever do. Only the best of the best PR pros use this 8th strategy.</p>
<p>Even though only the best of the best PR pros use this 8th strategy, part of the reason this one technique didn&#8217;t make the list is because you may have already heard of it and because it&#8217;s just not as effective as any of the top 7.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="p_embed p_image_embed"><img  style="margin-bottom:12px;" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/CDxJsGfgBpCqzeovjbiIwDxfhjnnaIxxlrFAmjgCgBvEyfhxmvfHFatjEFds/media_httpwwwthenewsg_FjdIe.jpg.scaled500.jpg" alt="Media_httpwwwthenewsg_fjdie" width="500" height="363" /></div>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Powerful Ways to Get Featured by a Power Blogger<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">(That Weren&#8217;t Good Enough for the 7 Step Trade Secret List)</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Every now and then, some brilliant person looks at how tedious it is to try and get press. Then they decide to structure a simpler way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Craig did this with the classifieds.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He simply decided to create a simple and instant way to post a classified. By the way, Craig makes about $20 million dollars a month. I know, totally unrelated factoid.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Pete Shankman and Jason Kintzer did the same thing to blogging that Craig did to classifieds. They created </span><a href="http://www.helpareporter.com/">http://www.helpareporter.com/</a> and <a href="http://pitchengine.com">http://pitchengine.com</a> , respectively.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Try them out. But&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">But they are still not good enough to mention in our <a title="What are the 7 Strategies?" href="http://sparkah.com/google#blogger">7 Step Trade Secret Strategies to Get Featured by a Major Blogger.</a></span></p>

Life was simple. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you were going to do some advertising for you business, you&#8217;d consider magazines, tv, newspapers, or the yellow pages. On the outside chance you were big enough, you&#8217;d sprinkle in there some billboard ads. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you were going to do some marketing, you hire a PR person to get you writeups in those same magazines and papers you are considering advertising in. You&#8217;d go to some entrepreneurs&#8217; round table, you&#8217;d go to trade shows, and you&#8217;d mingle. This was marketing.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Today, prospective clients ask my team for marketing help. And frankly, I&#8217;m not really sure what that means. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you ask us for marketing help and then tell us that you want to market via Twitter and Facebook, which are social environments but then tell us that you have nobody on staff who can write and be a full time web customer service rep, that&#8217;s like saying, I want to go to a big industry trade show for networking and I have nobody to send (yes, can can hire out but it&#8217;s much more cost effective to do it inhouse).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So here are the pros and cons; strengths and weaknesses of each medium of communication and each of their requirements for successful implementation.

</span></strong></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Pros</span>: Instant Traffic, Precise Measurement</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Cons</span>: $1-$5 per click, conservatively 800 clicks per sale (Do the math) </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Requirements</span>: Just sign up with a credit card</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Google Organic Search</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Pros</span>: High credibility and conversion rates (lower every year due to SEO spammers);  generally 1200% higher conversion rates than Adwords Sponsored Results; long term residual traffic</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Cons</span>: None, if you&#8217;re already a leading reference site for your niche. If not, Cons: significant labor and strategy required to secure page one position; if done incorrectly, you could end up being sand-boxed or blacklisted</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Requirements</span>: A good honest writer; Finding and paying for a very experienced Google Strategy Team (avoid SEO people. many tend to be Sleezy. See <a href="http://journik.posterous.com/why-seo-is-a-scam">SEO is a SCAM</a>); picking keyword terms that people will actually click (trickier than you imagine See #2: <a href="http://journik.posterous.com/9-dark-trade-secrets-of-google-seo">Nine Dark Google SEO Trade Secrets</a>) </span></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Twitter</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Pros</span>: Immediate direct access to millions of users internationally; Bio search to precisely target location and demographic; Direct two way communication; Unlimited messaging; Strong mobile penetration; Direct penetration to SMS text for many users; Real Time Search: Eaves dropping on live conversations by key word (How useful would it be to know what people are saying about you, your competitor, your products, theirs, etc in real time?); High impression to CRT ratio</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/feqzhJkuorrlrfoizkJAklnbkvugaeuJnhkxAmmdAagaFlwrasijhAjvHduy/media_httpmediathesta_fkEyh.jpeg.scaled1000.jpg"><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/feqzhJkuorrlrfoizkJAklnbkvugaeuJnhkxAmmdAagaFlwrasijhAjvHduy/media_httpmediathesta_fkEyh.jpeg.scaled500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="496" /></a> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Cons</span>: Direct two way communications; People can arbitrarily report you as spam; You can only message a practical maximum of 5 people per message; ZERO Google Page Rank Value (links don&#8217;t help your Google rank&#8211;practically SEE LINK); Easy to acquire hundreds of demographically precise followers daily (labor intensive)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Requirements</span>: Highly senior customer service person; Skilled terse writer; 10 minute response time; Availability 12 hours a day for non international companies; Consulting from an experienced Twitter culture consultant or every book ever written about Twitter; A Tweet lasts about 60 minutes before it disappears downstream; Impression rate is very low at about 4% of total follower base.

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Facebook (Organic)</strong><br />
</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Pros</span>: Impression rate is high at about 70% of friend base; Instant response is generally less necessary than Twitter; Low maintenance; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Cons</span>: High resistance to acquiring new friends and &#8220;Likes&#8221;; More challenging than Twitter to precisely target by demographics</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Requirements</span>: None if you&#8217;re happy with low volume reach. If not, you&#8217;ll need an experienced marketing team to build your Facebook friend count (See: <a href="http://sparkah.com/2010/08/25/facebook-marketing-strategies-from-nyc-and-los-angeles-most-devious-minds-2/">Facebook Marketing Trade Secrets</a>)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Facebook (Ads)</strong><br />
</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Pros</span>: Near instant release and traffic; Absolutely the most precise demographic targeting system on the web; Pay per click; Generally less expensive than Google Adwords</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Cons</span>: Low click through rates compared to Google Adwords and much lower than Organic Google. Generally even lower CTR than Twitter; Second most costly PPC medium next to Google Adwords</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Requirements</span>: Experienced marketeer to pinpoint target demographics or web savvy business owner; Understanding of value of a &#8220;Like&#8221; vs direct click through to destination site; credit card</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/fgCFJtsykxcigdwpDicviFCsmpBhHbtjlCBCzdhhEbupdrzFlxJyzvkHtrJz/media_httpwwwtrekexch_hjhga.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/fgCFJtsykxcigdwpDicviFCsmpBhHbtjlCBCzdhhEbupdrzFlxJyzvkHtrJz/media_httpwwwtrekexch_hjhga.jpg.scaled500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">Advertising on Discussion Forums and Blogs</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Banner Ads PPC (Pay Per Click)</strong><br />
</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Pros</span>: You can precisely target which readership you want by making a direct deal with a blog or forum owner; Relatively inexpensive per impression; You can create deep branding impact and messaging inexpensively if you pay per click and design the banners to prevent click throughs (Why you would do it is the subject of another post)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Cons</span>: Low conversion rate; Moderate cost</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Requirements</span>: A very senior and experienced direct response copy writer; very experienced designer; blog and forum stats/media kit; Relationship with Blog and Forum Owner</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Banner Ads PPI (Pay Per Impression)<br />
</span></strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Pros</span>: If you design a banner with a touchdown call to action, you can double or triple your click thrus while paying a flat rate per impression. Each click through is calculated to cost you about a dollar and occur at about every 700 impressions. So if you design your ad correctly, you can get a click every 200 impressions and still be paying the same amount. This math also applies to Facebook Ads.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Cons</span>: No matter how high your CRT (Click Through Rate) is, your conversion to sale will be low. After all, this is still just a cold ad with no rapport of credibility.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Requirements</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">:<br />
A very senior and experienced direct response copy writer; very experienced designer; blog and forum stats/media kit; Relationship with Blog and Forum Owner</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Youtube Marketing</strong><br />
Youtube always get preferential Google positioning. This is because Google owns Youtube. This is also because Google wants to start selling Google TVs. So if you have a Youtube video with exactly the same content as a blog post, your Youtube video will be on Broadway while your blog post is off-off-off-Broadway.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">But Youtube and is a huge topic. So we&#8217;ve focused and expanded on it exclusively here: <strong><a href="http://journik.posterous.com/youtube-forecast-and-trend-watch-why-real-mar">Youtube Forcast and Trend Watch: How to Double Your Sales With Youtube</a></strong></span></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Build Your Own Blog and Discussion Forum Empire</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Building Your Own Discussion Forum<br />
</span></strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Pros</span>: You don&#8217;t have to pay a forum owner to advertise on his website; You have full control over conversational direction; You wield adminstrator / moderator influence</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Cons</span>: You&#8217;ve got to build the forum</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Requirements</span>: Forum builder; Forum moderator; Forum admin; Marketing to drive traffic to forum</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Building Your Own Blog<br />
</span></strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Pros</span>: You don&#8217;t have to pay any other bloggers to advertise on their blog; You have full control of content (See http://journik.posterous.com/tag/blogging )</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Cons</span>: You&#8217;ve got to blog twice daily; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Requirements</span>: A+ Level Blogger; Designer</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So now that you&#8217;re totally confused, let&#8217;s take you back to the old country. Back then, there was advertising, marketing and sales. That was it and everyone knew what was what. Now, not so much.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So to give you an industry veteran perspective of all your choices today, just think of Advertising as a shotgun blast. If you shoot often enough, you&#8217;ll hit somebody when they&#8217;re in the market to buy. But advertising doesn&#8217;t do a good job of building rapport and credibility. There&#8217;s no good-will associated with advertising. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">People buy on rapport (relationship depth) and credibility (demonstrated expertise). That&#8217;s why people buy from friends and celebrities. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So here&#8217;s where marketing comes in. Marketing is designed to bring you to your market in an intimate way. Marketing builds relationships. Your marketing is what generates referral business. I don&#8217;t know the last time anybody email forwarded a buddy an ad. Finally, Marketing is what gets that phone to ring on your salesman&#8217;s desk.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So by this historic definition, Google Search Engine Marketing isn&#8217;t marketing at all. It&#8217;s just advertising. All it does is make you available should a prospect be looking for what you sell. Marketing develops relationships. And this difference is critical when you&#8217;re goal is to develop the least expensive immediate lowest hanging fruit sales and create long term relationships that deliver long term recurring business. One pays your bills. The other builds your empire.</span></p>

<p>Tyler, A close friend of mine in Seattle is 6 months behind and $12,000USD over budget on his design project. Crabby, tired, and frustrated, he&#8217;d skype his designers at 3am. He literally went out drinking just to pass the time and be up for the call. He sourced out to a team in India or Malaysia or was it Chile? Their rates were too good to pass up.</p>
<p>There was a time when you would only do business with people who were already in your life. You&#8217;d do business with parents who send their kids to the same school. You&#8217;d do business with people in your church (or atheist meetups). You&#8217;d do business with people on your block. And you&#8217;d do business with people related to co-workers and clients.</p>
<p>This was smart for several reasons. First, you&#8217;d already start off with a common cultural base. Your architect, graphic designer, product designer, or interior designer wouldn&#8217;t pull some weird scheiBBe out of their hat (that was totally cool where they were from). Secondly, you&#8217;d have social and political leverage.</p>
<p><a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/yrdnkgFfFlutxvmIyDEgrkvxBaIDFlfezCJhogngIGjptcmvpIqfwrIqnznG/media_httpwwwlabonnef_znAay.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/yrdnkgFfFlutxvmIyDEgrkvxBaIDFlfezCJhogngIGjptcmvpIqfwrIqnznG/media_httpwwwlabonnef_znAay.jpg.scaled500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="448" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">[TBA: The Most Popular Designer from <a href="http://Plurban.com/design">http://Plurban.com/design</a> Will Be Featured Here]</span></p>
<p>Nobody who works for you wants to do a poor job when they see you every day. Nobody wants someone who knows all their friends to say anything embarrassing to any one of them. And absolutely nobody wants their kids openly scolding them about settling differences because of some unresolved issue that becomes glaringly obvious at the school open house. It would cost too much to leave you, the client, anything less than 100% Happy.</p>
<p>Recently, all that has changed. I suspect that you, with my buddy Tyler, have sailed into exploring the international outsourcing option based on the price tag. And I suspect you&#8217;ve heard of a friend who has or have personally been sunk out in the high seas. The fatal mistake you made, that everyone makes, is that you traded in social and personal leverage for a low price tag that ended up costing you much more in the end.</p>
<p>To prevent that sour mistake from ever happening again, <a href="http://sparkah.com">http://sparkah.com</a> has assembled the Top 100 Designers Around The World Who Are Your Neighbors. No, you don&#8217;t have to select a designer who lives in your town. Everyone below is in your neighborhood&#8211;no matter what time zone they&#8217;re in. They are all people who are online on Twitter, Linkedin and facebook near 24 hours a day.</p>
<p><a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/tsmkIGIgwieEsuEuzzgvkupHhsdJlzFvzcssCJBAFBDodDfErcGaDlpilkqJ/media_httpdancingonth_kesld.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/tsmkIGIgwieEsuEuzzgvkupHhsdJlzFvzcssCJBAFBDodDfErcGaDlpilkqJ/media_httpdancingonth_kesld.jpg.scaled500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Think about it. If you work with any of the Top Designers below, you&#8217;ll have 100% redundant access to them near 24/7. More confidence inspiring than that, you&#8217;ll be able to network and friend their subcontractors, employees, and even their other clients via Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. You&#8217;ll be personally be closer to the geographically furthest designer on this list than with Gary from the Golf Club.</p>
<p>But the best part, we&#8217;ve hand picked the below designers from several hundred more. The criteria we used makes us confident that each of these designers below are operationally transparent, manage their business relationships with the highest integrity, and won&#8217;t nickel and dime you do death (although some may slip on deadline here and there&#8211;who doesn&#8217;t?!). In other words, while your global neighbors below may be more accessible than designers who are physical neighbors, you most probably won&#8217;t have to do any politicking to get them to take good care of you.</p>
<p>Before we introduce you to the top designers on earth who are closer than your neighbors, we want to interject a quick &#8220;How to Select A Designer Checklist:&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/mDbeafyetlCwyHkzHyqvnkorhadqukfbltFaxmBgbHatDtAtmdHAGBmzseym/media_http3bpblogspot_paelb.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/journik/mDbeafyetlCwyHkzHyqvnkorhadqukfbltFaxmBgbHatDtAtmdHAGBmzseym/media_http3bpblogspot_paelb.jpg.scaled500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="477" /></a></p>
<p><strong>1) Deadline your project long before you actually need it</strong><br />
The creative process is temperamental and designers are even worse when you don&#8217;t give them enough time.</p>
<p><strong>2) Talk to a designer long before you commission a project</strong><br />
The most common problem designers experience is that you, the client, will deliver necessary components and pieces long after the designer needs it. To compound this problem, you tend to give designers partial information and interject (derail) the design process with unforecasted  additions and changes. This is fine if you get the designer involved long before the project begins. This way, the designer can account for possible changes.</p>
<p><strong>3) Ask a designer for help pre-design</strong><br />
Ask a designer how he / she wants files named. Let the designer know that you&#8217;re having a hard time with verbage, copy, ergonomics, feng-shui, etc. Your designer has lots of friends and connections. He / she can refer a professional writer / Feng Shui Master, erg expert, etc who will get all the components prepped perfectly and on time for design commencement.</p>
<p>Really, don&#8217;t try and do anything you&#8217;re not a pro at. It&#8217;ll sabotage everyone down the line and ultimately, you.</p>
<p><strong>4) Select a designer for their style then let them do their job</strong><br />
We all know that you don&#8217;t try and change your mate. Design is no different. Industrial design, graphic design, interior design, and family design are all the same. They are all temporary living collaborations. Don&#8217;t work with a designer who you think is close to your design-soul-mate and try to change him/her (unless the designer accepts the challenge). Start with a designer who you can fully entrust with your vision. You do it with marriage. You marry your favorite person because in the end, you don&#8217;t have any idea what kind of kids will pop out.</p>
<p>Sure, you&#8217;ll have much more in-utero molding influence with a designer than with your zygotes. But in the end, the core principles are universal. Don&#8217;t plan on micromanaging. Plan of doing your best job during the courtship process, then surrender. Let the pros do their job.</p>
<p><strong>5) Only work with a designer with a baseline interview checklist/questionaire</strong><br />
It&#8217;s the designer&#8217;s job to guide your project. If they forget to ask you basic things like, &#8220;is this for left or right handed people?&#8221; You&#8217;ll both abruptly run into that nose-breaking brick wall. Professionals have general &#8220;client interview and discovery questionaires and checklists.&#8221; They will start asking you personalized questions that will only apply to your account after they&#8217;ve covered all the basics.</p>
<p><strong>6) Only work with a designer who stays in touch daily as a policy</strong><br />
All the biggest and most successful firms hold this policy as a sacred duty. They realise that not only is it their job to manage your project, it&#8217;s their job to manage your expections and delivery room anxiety. Even if it&#8217;s just a quick, &#8220;still working on your project. In the thick of it, going well. so can we talk friday? Will do another status update tomorrow,&#8221; email or text, it&#8217;s the lowest professional courtesy a design firm can provide.</p>
<p><strong>7)  Pay on time. Pay 10% more.</strong><br />
It&#8217;s true. Many designers are emotional people. You have to be to communicate and transmit something as amorphous as emotion via a 2d or 3d medium. Designers have multiple demanding clients. Do not try and bargain them down. This is an economical tactic you use on commodities like potatoes. With services, if you want to get 200% your value, pay on time and pay 10% more. 200% for 10 ain&#8217;t bad.</p>
