Social Media : LISTEN

Why this is important:
Because the conversations are going to happen, with or without you. It is always better to be an informed participant in the dialogue, and to understand the lay of the land before you take your first steps. In the case of building your brand online, ignorance is definitely not bliss. You must be prepared to take a hard, realistic look at your brand through the rest of the world’s eyes so you can better understand how to talk with them and be a valued conversation partner.
How it fits into your plan:
This is very similar to market research, or even just keeping a pulse on your customer base. Consider this a piece of business development, and spend 15 minutes a day perusing your alerts. If people are talking about you, pick five posts a week that you find in your reporting, go out there, and respond.

Into Twitter

It seems that even some of the biggest brands in Jordan aren’t using social networks to their full potential (or even at all).

What it appears to come down to is a lack of preparation and thought before launching into a social media strategy. Big brands are hearing the word ‘Twitter’ ‘facebook’ and knowing the hype surrounding it are setting up a presence and all but abandoning it.

It is not enough to sign up for an account on twitter, hoards of ‘followers’ will not automatically flock to your account and add you, you have to work at it!

Twitterers are becoming more savvy, dropping follows when they aren’t getting anything from them is as common as ‘de-friending’ on Facebook.

Jordantimes and Specialty Hospital from Jordan  have woven social media into their marketing strategies, Specialty Hospital is engaging their audience with conversations about issues related to their health concern (such as H1N1) but not necessarily about the Hospital services themselves.

Starting a conversation with your audience,you will see your list of followers grow, along with your brand awareness.

To sum it up perfectly:

“If you are going to get involved you need to do some deep thinking about what are your objectives, the best-practice examples are leveraging social media in an integrated fashion to deepen relationships, personalise their brands and provide customer service”

Scamming Jordan companies for SEO services

Morning Jordan, ( 6:37 am ..been up from 2  hours, ask Omar Shobaki from imagine )

When we started business in Jordan that was Nov 2008, in that time when we started calling to know the interest in SEO or social media , %95 of  companies we call were like hearing Chinese talking to them !

Feb 2009, when we established the company ( official papers ), 1 from 25 companies, somehow got what we were offering, and these end to be our partners, which we until now do business with.

August 2009, we start hearing some companies, trying to get money from their clients by offering what we call SIMPLE SEO PLANS.

But as usual if you are not good in building sites ! or lets say it: you are web1.o company how the hell you will sell SEO !

Fast track to This day ! the le web shipping of companies , we know will not come in good !

Guess what ? the headache didn’t come from these companies ! it was from abroad INDIANS ! YEP Because we didn’t have enough of them in Europe or America ! they are landing in JORDAN .

BRING IT ON LOSERS ! IT’S SOMETHING YOU CAN’T BEAT US ON ..BECAUSE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LACK OF IMAGINATION

Organic SEO

“When people refer to “organic SEO” (search engine optimization), they almost always use it as a blanket term to describe the unpaid, algorithm-driven results of any particular engine. However, a sophisticated search engine optimization company will often take the meaning of “organic” one step further. ”

To such companies, the “Organic SEO” is essentially 2 Things (but not only). These are

  • What shows up in the “natural” search engine results
  • Methodologies used to achieve such rankings, such as great content and utilizing social media like Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Technorati, Reddit, Digg, Stumbleupon and other types of social media

Artificial SEO

A search engine optimization company using “artificial SEO” will ask, “How can I get links pointing to this site without adding anything of value to it?” The latter approach usually leads to reciprocal linking schemes, link farms, the purchase of text links, and more—anything except making changes to the Web site that entice others to link to the site without the link being reciprocated, without paying the Web site owner, or without asking “pretty please.” There is a stark contrast between “Organic SEO” and “Artificial SEO.” Of course, any decent search engine optimization company will make certain that a site is listed in all the popular directories, such as the Yahoo Directory, the Open Directory Project, and Business.com. A good search engine optimization company will also continually seek any industry specific directories where your site should be listed. But truly using “organic SEO” means evolving your site into something that holds actual value to your prospects. In my opinion, this is much more beneficial in the long run than the artificial methodology of trying to garner incoming links that the site does not truly deserve.”
