Contents |
Aim
to increase the no. of visitors to your site using blogs and web comments.
Process
The team will do a daily subtle injection of your site details and url into various blogs matching your sites keywords / keyphrases.
Cost
We are looking for a min. charge moving to a commission based system. The commission should be equal to the google adwords expense.
Measurement
Inward traffic to your site from blogs we comment upon.
Steps
- Gather market intelligence: Monitor public buzz to determine how your brand and close competitors are faring. Knowing where, why, and how you're being trashed (or praised) in a public forum and respond appropriately / quickly.
- Monitor the Web for references to your brand, key officers, and major competitors:
- Set up tracking on Google News Alerts, Technorati, and PubSub. React to relevant topics brewing in the blogosphere. Respond quickly and decisively to engage bloggers.
- Analyze comments, links, and trackbacks (define) to determine the relative importance of audience perceptions. Use tools such as Intelliseek's BlogPulse or a firm such as BuzzMetrics. This analysis will help determine who the influencers are and what their connectivity level is.
- Analyze broader category or product information without using brand names.
- List down the terms you should be tracking.
- Engage the team of bloggers for commenting on key business topics: Read blogs related to your product or company to understand the blogger's perspective and audience. Respond to postings to initiate dialogue. This is more genuine that a PR pitch, this approach can also help correct misinformation or misconceptions about your brand / service.
- Promote your brand / site on public blogs to target a specific audience by posting reference to those blogs / comments in various other related blogs.
