"Channels Group" Business Domain Name Auction Launches

Orlando, Fla. (PRWEB) July 26, 2007

BlogSpot Brands announced today that they have launched the "Channels Group" domain name auction, a group of 37 high profile business and eCommerce domain names. The auction is an "Act Now" auction with the purchase prices listed for each domain name, and once the price is met the auction is over.

The 37 domain names in this auction http://auction.blogspot.com are uniquely keyword rich domain names that are among the best business web addresses available anywhere. The value of domain names is now based upon whether or not the specific business that the domain name is to serve is part of the domain name "i.e. lawyers". A web address such as LawyerChannels.com is much more likely to achieve search engine success, and without search engine success there is no success. Google search engine algorithms reward websites that have a keyword rich domain name that is matched with relative content.

Domain names are a hot commodity, and a true commodity they have become according to BlogSpot Brands, a leading e-Commerce developer and operator of the domain name auction. "We have been involved in the domain name and development business for many years and have never seen such a strong interest from investors buying high quality domain names as an investment tool. It appears that domain name flipping is underway", says Bert L. Bill, COO.

"The high level names in this auction are truly investor quality", he added.

Funk.Me Launches a Funky Domain Forum

Miami, FL (PRWEB) December 4, 2008

The leading DOT ME domain auction site now has a Funky domain forum, a cool place for domainers, investors, developers, and entrepreneurs to hang out, connect and exchange information with other members of the Cyber ME Generation.

The Funk.Me domain auction site is targeting buyers and sellers who wish to list and buy premium DOT ME domains, with already over 2000 premium ME domains listed on the site to make and receive offers and bids. New premium ME domains are posted daily, and hundreds more would be listed, but the owners are focusing on the premium market and they have had to turn down several DOT ME names that didn't meet the criteria for being a premium.

Nikolas Gough, the CEO and founder of Funk.Me, states the mission of the Funk.Me forum is to create a vibrant and diverse domain community of global ME citizens who can exchange ideas, provide information, and help promote the fastest growing extension - DOT ME - to launch in this millennium.

Gough adds, "Become part of the new ME generation and help us create a community to connect, engage, and inspire other DOT ME netizens, or even if you're just interested or curious about learning more about this exciting extension.

Ronald D. Geskey Launches His New Book, Media Planning and Buying for the 21st Century

Rochester, MI (PRWEB) June 28, 2011

In his newly published book, Media Planning and Buying for the 21st Century, Ronald D. Geskey provides a comprehensive guide for students and professionals on how to implement a strategic media planning and buying strategy in this new age of digital era.

Media Planning and Buying for the 21st Century covers three key media planning areas that media planners need to embrace. The first part of book focuses on the mega-trends which are reshaping the marketplace-- population & demographic trends, client needs and demands, new media and technology, media convergence, and consumers taking control. The second part of book discusses the specific factors which must be analyzed and considered before a strategic media plan can be developed. The third part discusses the step by step process of actually developing a professional media strategy and plan.

Media Planning and Buying For the 21st Century actually discusses the process of negotiating media buys. No other book spends more than a few pages despite the fact that media buying is half the importance of the media function, responsible for spending hundreds of billions of dollars. The book covers developing a negotiating strategy, buying broadcast media, print, internet, and guerrilla media buying. For instance, never enter into a negotiation by the seat of your pants. Have a well thought out negotiating strategy with sellers - 1. First homework, research market and supply & demand conditions, competitive moves, etc. 2. Objectives & priorities - Know what you want to achieve in the negotiation-- pricing or CPM, positioning, specific media vehicles, timing, promotions and value added etc. 3. Have a negotiating strategy to get what you want; have a walk away point, identify or create leverage like giving the entire budget to one seller in exchange for getting what you want, Have a Plan B ready to go. 4. Tactics - what's your negotiating style? Some buyers prove they are idiots by yelling and screaming at the reps.

Media Planning and Buying For the 21st Century delivers the important message that consumers are gaining more control over their access to product information and media consumption and media planners must respond using marketing communication methods that are both proactive and adaptive.

Book Reviews

Rod Smith, President of SAA Research

"The most significant media book in 40 years. Most up to date and most comprehensive

Louis M. Schultz, former COO of Campbell Ewald and CEO of Initiative Media IPG Companies

"Rons book is a noble effort at changing the way that academia must evolve in order to keep pace with the business practices. It is difficult to write an introductory book on any subject, let alone media, that avoids the tapestry and constraints of history. I think he has succeeded. He has changed the framework of the discussion of how advertising and media will be perceived and used in the 21st Century."

Tracy Roberts, Book Reviewer, Write Field Services

"Media Planning and Buying For the 21st Century is a highly recommended media planning and buying guide that will provide students and business professionals with the knowledge and tools to grow and adapt to the changing consumer landscape, particularly the digital landscape. Readers will not only gain critical insight into the various marketing media available, but how and where to best invest their media buying dollars to gain a higher ROI. The book is a must read for anyone currently in the marketing business and for those who are planning a career in media planning what I would call pigeon-holed thinking into an ecumenical presentation of the future that will shape the future."

Ron Geskey has over 30 years of experience as a media director, account director and college professor. Ron has a master's degree in communications/marketing, doctoral work, and executive education from Wharton, Northwestern, and Michigan State.

Soovox Launches Pioneering Integrated Influence Platform, Social IQ BETA

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 18, 2010

Soovox, (http://www.soovox.com), an award-winning influence marketing company announced today the open beta launch of Social IQ (Social Influence Quotient), an online social influence metric application that measures and rewards a users ability to sway others opinions and actions. In conjunction with its beta launch, Soovox is launching its Search for the Star Influencer contest and will reward the most influential user with a free MacBook Air on December 20, 2010.

Social IQ is a new consumer experience that combines fun social gaming elements with real rewards for a users social networking behavior. A patent-pending algorithm measures the users social web influence by tracking 3 main criteria to score their social influence: Reputation (authenticity, behavioral), Connections (passive, active), and Knowledge Authority (consumer, professional). Social IQ draws upon key social networks and bookmarking sites already in use Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace and calculates the users influence based on more than 50 variables that bubble up into their Social IQ.

That score then allows users to earn rewards and climb the seven levels of influence from Newbie to Mogul. Users can claim favorite brands, earn Brand Ambassador badges, and evangelize or rant about products and services inside or outside of the Soovox platform. Users receive corresponding privileges, rewards (payment, promotions, freebies and offers from their favorite brands) and access to Soovox challenges and contests as they influence others and see their Social IQ grow. One does not need to be signed into Soovox to grow their Social IQ; once registered, Soovox automatically tracks ones influence on an ongoing basis. To learn more, check out the new Soovox video in this release.

Social IQ has the potential to become the standard measure of influence for the social media industry, said Akram Benmbarek, CEO and founder of Soovox. Influential people have tremendous impact on their peers -- one Tweet or Status Update by a trend-setter can make or break a product in the mind of those who follow them. Online influence marketing is a $ 29 billion industry, yet until now nobody has built an efficient way for brands to easily identify, reward and interact with opinion makers online. Long-term, our mission is to amplify the voice of the consumer, and help brands understand how to harness the social web to create better products and services.

Soovox is holding a contest this month Search for the Star Influencers, which is about finding the stellar social influencers and rewarding them for ranting and raving about their favorite brands. Whoever has the most votes at the end of the contest will win an Apple MacBook Air. People can also earn a prize if they are the first to refer the star influencer who wins.

Now I'm making good money and there's no turning back."

Members of The Freedom List are given instructions through each stage of building an online business; from setting up e-commerce accounts, through registering a domain, building a website, growing an opt-in list and selling affiliate products and services.

Srini Saripalli Launches his new E-Book Titled "Offline Marketing for Online Marketers"

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) February 11, 2008

Building Online Sales without a Computer! Huh?!?

Internet traffic has become a commodity. Though drawing site hits used to lie in the hands of a chosen few, these methods have now become the norm. And the big boys like Google and other top search engines have changed the way they do business to deflate the traffic balloon.

But Srini Saripalli has found an answer.

"These days phone book advertising, print media and direct mail are working wonders," he said.

The barrage of free traffic exchanges and keyword spamming could be partly to blame. Or maybe its all the cybersquatters out there buying up domain names and filling them with nothing but junk. With new Google algorithms and other major search engines following suit, the best way to build traffic to your website seems to be to turn off your computer and start working with advertising professionals, if you can afford to.

"Most internet marketers struggle to strategize and profit from a campaign where both offline and online methodologies are involved," says Saripalli.

That's why Saripalli went back to his roots as a brick-and-mortar businessman and started using techniques that pre-date the internet and its volatility. His experience in real estate has helped him ride the waves of the world of online entrepreneurship in stride, but he sees now that many of the methods that built his offline businesses can work just as well for his web ventures.

Saripalli realizes many don't have any business experience outside of the internet, which is why he is offering his FREE E-Book Offline Marketing For Online Marketers as a FREE download at his website.

All the techniques he shares in the book are from his offline businesses where Srini tried using the internet as the core marketing medium. From dipping your toes in real estate to diving into the retail industry, these techniques are important to everyone who has or will have a successful internet marketing business.

Saripalli is all about helping others succeed. From telecourses to providing the latest information, many call him a success engineer. He's been a leading source of help on real estate investing, and has recently started a membership venture to help people manage all the information out there and connect with other people doing the same things.

"You gotta give it away to keep it," he says. "The internet has heated up competition, but the ability to connect and learn from others is astounding" You can download the FREE E-Book Here
