Be smarter about how you market online

Thursday, November 5, 2009 by Brian Millis
Here is a great post from Seth Godin about online ad clicks.  My favorite quote is:

"It's okay to make an ad that isn't easy to measure. If it works, that's enough."

Essentially, this is what every business blog post can be.  What other form or online marketing allows you to tell your story from a very human level?  As Seth says, the 84% of non-clickers online are looking to make a connection.  So use the corporate blog as a way to build familiarity and attention. 

This is why we have clients who enjoy over a 10% conversion rate on their Call to Action off of their blog page!  People like to buy from people and a blog marketing strategy allows you to take advantage of this MAJORITY of searchers.  The stats that Seth discusses in his post also point to why winning organic traffic is so much more valuable (in the majority of cases) than paid search. 

Of course, we feel your blog SHOULD be optimized for clicks, but the human nature of a blog works much better for those 84% of non-clickers.  Our corporate blogging software makes content creation easy and maximizes its visibility online.  With Compendium, you can get in front of that majority of search and use good content to increase conversion.
