Thank Gosh it’s Our Weekly Friday Wrap-Up!
Okay, the w
eeks almost over and we’ve seen some great new items this week that need to be shared about online marketing and of course, on SEO too! While that might seem like a daunting task, i.e. the capture of a whole week’s worth of marketing data – I must explain that with over 170+ blogs, forums, boards and polling sites read daily, it’s harder to “cut” an item out of this short Friday list than to keep them all to share…but here goes! Got your learning cap on?

A Couple of Friday week-ending Things…
Hello all…and yes, I know that I’m more than a bit late for todays week-ending blog piece…but we’ve been pretty busy with all the start-ups, mentoring, coaching and yes, we’ve also begun the Xmas season with last nite’s big party at McMaster Innovation Park with our own Innovation Factory Holiday Soiree!
And I had fun. No two ways about it….I met lots of start-ups that I’ve coached or mentored or who’ve taken our own “Go-To-Market” seminars and chatted with them all!

Keywords 101:This Great Infographic Shows All!
Over at DIYSEO.com, the folks there haven’t been posting many blog pieces in the last few months, but the one that went up just last night, is dang good, eh!
If you think about it at all, you’d have to come to the realization that the keywords that you target are VERY important to your rankings, to your prospective customers or clients and most importantly, to develop new revenue streams. Keyword research then is just about the basic foundation for any SEO Campaign and really it requires much thought, research, testing and then yes, even some VooDoo to get a handle on what works for you and your site!
It’s not easy. It’s not quick. It’s not fun. It’s not to be thought lightly of, either. It’s dang hard, long work to come up with say the top 25 or 100 or whatever number of keywords/phrases that will work for you and your site. What you’re doing, of course, is trying to sit in the seat of that prospective customer or client of yours, and use your best thoughtful work to come up with what they will use to find you.

SEO E-Book Potpourri for Better Rankings!
Other bloggers we note, tend to write the “best of the past year” type of posts, and that’s not for us. Instead, we try to look ahead and for 2011, the number of e-Books we’ve found in the past few days can really help one ‘center’ their blogging and SEO Campaigns, we feel…so hence todays posting!
The folks over at HubSpot are one of my favs when it comes to online marketing know-how, eh! And their latest e-Book on Business Blogging for 2011 is about as spot-on as one can find, so I thought I’d lead off with them in todays posting. As well as the link to d/l that e-Book, we’d also point out that the HubSpot article also has a link on their page that will take you to a video from both Tom Peters and Seth Godin, that adds their voices and povs on the real value of blogging. Not a bad way to start 2011, we think….

SEO Infographics: a Monday Morning Look-See!
The more I see the quality of SEO Infographics that pop up on the web almost weekly, the more impressed I am with the quality of same as I read and peruse and learn from same.
Oh sure, I know and so do you, that SEO rankings come from a host of factors and that IBLs, inbound backlinks play a major part in that, and that yes as I’ve written about before, such Infographics are terrific IBL bait too.
That said, you’ve just gotta see the three I’ve found and aggregated here for your edification!

Let me explain, as we love same and often feature them here on our own blog and I thought you might all like some ‘background’ on same, eh!
First, what is an infographic? It’s a large, graphically designed illustration that represents information, data or knowledge in a quick and clear manner (wikipedia definition).
