Introduction to Linear Optimization (Athena Scientific Series in Optimization and Neural Computation, 6)

This book provides a unified, insightful, and modern treatment of linear optimization, that is, linear programming, network flow problems, and discrete optimization. It includes classical topics as well as the state of the art, in both theory and practice.

From the review by Motakuri Ramana in Optima, Issue 54:

"The true merit of this book, however, lies in its pedagogical qualities which are so impressive..."

"Throughout the book, the authors make serious efforts to give geometric and intuitive explanations of various algebraic concepts, and they are widely successful in this effort."

"In conclusion, this is an outstanding textbook that presents linear optimization in a truly modern and up-to-date light. One reading of this book is sufficient to appreciate the tremendous amount of quality effort that the authors have put into the writing, and I strongly recommend it to all teachers, researchers and practitioners of mathematical programming."

From the review by Jonathan Bard in Interfaces, Issue 30(4), July 2000:

"... recent publication of at least a half dozen new books on linear optimization. In my view, Introduction to Linear Optimization is at the top of the list. Bertsimas and Tsitsiklis have written a comprehensive treatise, offering an easy-to-understand presentation of linear programming and related topics, including network-flow programming and discrete optimization."

Among its special features, the book:

develops the major algorithms and duality theory through a geometric perspective
provides a thorough treatment of the geometry, convergence, and complexity of interior point methods
covers the main methods for network flow problems
contains a detailed treatment of integer programming formulations and algorithms
discusses the art of formulating and solving large scale problems through practical case studies
includes a large number of examples and exercises. Has been developed through extensive classroom use in graduate courses

The authors are Professors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Don't Create False Expectations, Especially When It Comes to Baked Potatoes

Folks, something just happened, and it was exceptionally tragic. Outrageous. Unheard of. Unbearable. To prevent this same travesty from happening to you, I thought I'd share my experience and give some handy marketing advice while I'm at it (this being SEM Tuesday and all).

Okay, let me back up. I was sitting at my desk, minding my own beeswax and deleting 45 spammy YOUmoz entries (thanks a lot, assholes) when Mel, one of our lovely developers, popped his head up, sniffed audibly, and said, "It smells like Wendy's in here!" As soon as the word "Wendy's" hit my ears, my stomach rumbled a slow, garbled yet audible tone: "baaaaaaaaaaaaked potaaaaaaaatooooooooo." Holy crap, I wanted a baked potato, and I wanted one bad.

My coworkers rallied behind the cause.

Jeff: "Yeah, baked potato!"
Scott: "I've been craving a baked potato for like a week!"

The seed had been planted--a hot, buttery, starchalicious seed. We pulled up Yelp to see what the nearest baked potato options were. Aside from a couple hoity toity sit down restaurants and a ghetto bar and grill that nobody likes, the closest and most viable option was Wendy's. That's cool, Wendy's is fine (plus they have Frosties!). Before I left, Arden (our newest hire and admin extraordinaire) had pulled up the Wendy's website to peruse the menu so he could decide on what he wanted. After seeing the baked potato offerings, he too wanted a delicious carb extravaganza:

Jeff and Arden each wanted a sour cream and chives potato, while Scott opted for broccoli and cheese and I wanted to stuff my face with a bacon and cheese potato. I took down everyone's orders and we ventured out to find the nearest pigtail'd ginger girl grinning down at us.

We got to Wendy's and I had the following exchange with the employee:

Me: "Can I get two sour cream and chives baked potatoes..."
Her: "Okay." [punches in order]
Me: "A bacon and cheese baked potato..."
Her: "We don't have those. We only have sour cream and chives."
Me: "SON OF A BITCH!"

Apparently Wendy's stopped carrying the three delicious baked potato options and now only offer "sour cream and chives" as your fixins. The employee noted that "They still carry the other toppings in Canada." Great, why does Canada get delicious melted cheese but we fat Americans don't? No fair. To assuage my outrage, the employee hooked me up with a bunch of bacon strips, which momentarily made me feel better.

So, basically I drove all the way to Wendy's for the sole purpose of getting a bacon and cheese baked potato which was advertised on their website, only to find out that they don't carry those any more. Talk about disappointment...you see where I'm going with this, right? Hopefully you're not rolling your eyes by now and going, "Okay, we get it. You felt like pigging out on crappy fast food and were mad that they didn't have the disgustingly unhealthy menu option you were craving. Post this crap somewhere else."

Well, think about how pissed off you get when you're browsing through a website and find a product you really want to buy. You click on "Add to Cart" and begin the checkout process, only to find out at the last minute that the product is out of stock or doesn't come in the size/color you specified. Imagine how much more frustrating that is when you research online and want to make an offline purchase--you went to someone's website first and made the decision to make a physical trip to an establishment and purchase a product, and you're told by the employee that the item you made up your mind to purchase isn't available.

Now picture this happening to your customers on your website. You know how frustrating it is to be the consumer when that happens, but as a seller/service provider, do you commit this cardinal sin? Do you offer products or services? Is this list up-to-date? What do you do with listings that are outdated or no longer available? If you forget to update your list of products and services, you're creating false expectations. Visitors are going to leave your site feeling disappointed, and they very well might associate your website with a negative shopping experience.

To prevent a negative customer experience, try the following:

* Make sure your list of services is constantly updated. If you used to offer a particular service but don't any more, remove it from the list.
* If you still get contacted by folks looking to hire you for services you no longer provide, try to keep them satisfied by referring them to a colleague or to someone who can provide the appropriate service.
* If you have a product that's sold out, specify it loud and clear on that product page. Inform customers when the product will be available again. You could offer to take back-orders or reserve products for customers in order to minimize grumpiness.
* If your shipping takes longer than expected or if you have an especially disgruntled customer, offset his/her disappointment by offering an added incentive to make up for the inconvenience (free shipping on the next item, a coupon or discount, a free item, etc). Obviously you can't do this with every single customer, but if you make an effort to save the really pissed off ones, you're investing in your own reputation management.
* If the product is being discontinued or will no longer be carried, don't leave it on your site to rot. 301-redirect any links to that product and point them to a similar product or to an appropriate category page.
* If you have a physical store location (or several franchises) and advertise a product or deal on your website that may not be applicable or available in stores (ahem, Wendy's), explicitly state that on the page (e.g., "Offer may not be available in select stores," "Product may not be in stock in our physical storefronts").

What other suggestions/preventative measures you can think of? I'd love to hear them so that I can mail them to Wendy's and tell them they owe me a bacon cheese baked potato. :)

I Hate the Advertising Bait-and-Switch, But There's a Lesson Here

I was browsing on Technorati today (mostly because Google Blog Search has gone down the toilet in the past 3 weeks) and came across one of the first banner ads to have caught my attention in years:

Pub Fighting Ad

Now, I'll admit, I'm a complete sissy. I've been in precisely three fights in my life, all of them before the age of 18 and I only won one (and that was because two other nearby kids happened to hate the guy I was fighting just as much as I did). Plus, I've got an affinity for deliciously sordid British phrases like "I'll do you like a kipper," which I assume is some kind of fish that Britons enjoy kicking to refresh their briny scent. Imagine my utter dismay when I reached this page:

Toyota Ad
_

What the hell, Toyota? Not only are you a car company (having nothing to do with the glorious pasttime that is pub-fighting), you're also not even trying to relate your content to the ad I clicked. At least show some olde tyme ass-whoopin' moves that I can pull on Sir Rubbish-the-Barstool-Tosser and Lord Knicker-Bottom before they turn my groin to pudding.

What's the lesson here? The right ads can attract even the savviest and most jaded of web surfers. And the wrong content can actually make them less likely to buy your products through negative branding. Think carefully ad designers - those clicks are hard enough to come by.

p.s. Yes, I actually did write this post myself; it's not secretly by Rebecca.

Affiliate Summit Las Vegas: SEOmoz Launches Affiliate Program with Pepperjam

Everybody in the SEO world knows that SMX West starts tomorrow but, while I'm definitely looking forward to seeing some familiar faces in Santa Clara, I'm currently in Las Vegas for Affiliate Summit.

"Why," you may ask, "are you attending Affiliate Summit, Scott? SEOmoz isn't involved in affiliate marketing..."

Well, it's Vegas and there's a huge party at Tao tonight and that should be reason enough, but wait, there's more!

Kris Jones and the brilliant team at Pepperjam recently launched Pepperjam Network, their new affiliate marketing program. We'd been contemplating launching an affiliate program for some time and when the Pepperjam guys invited us to be one of their early advertisers, we couldn't pass it up. They've really got a phenomenal system and we're in great company with an amazing roster of partners. If you're an affiliate publisher or advertiser, you really need to check it out.

With the launch of the new SEOmoz PRO (our overhaul of Premium) we feel our suite of tools, guides, Q&A, and more is really ready for prime-time and we're extremely excited to get the word out via an incredible group of affiliate marketers. We've completely overhauled the user interface for PRO, making it a much more intuitive product suite, streamlined the registration process, and focused in on enhancing and promoting the benefits of the system, all to make the product more valuable to our subscribers and a more attractive package for new customers and our affiliates.

What does this mean for you? Well, if you're a PRO subscriber, it means a better user experience and an invaluable new utility (to debut at SMX West). If you're not a PRO member, it hopefully means you'll take another look and see what you're missing out on. If you're a fan of PRO or SEOmoz, and you're interested in helping us market our product, it means you can become an SEOmoz Affiliate through Pepperjam and earn a generous commission for marketing a product you know and love. Our commission structure is designed to be extremely competitive with any other affiliate offering in our niche (you'll receive details upon signup). We've had a great response already and have some truly wonderful folks on-board with our program, and we'd love to have as many SEOmoz readers as are interested join in the effort. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments or send me a private message.

The Definitive Reason Why Facebook is Worth at Least $15 Billion

Note: The following post is based on conversations I have had with Microsoft employees and college graduates being recruited by Facebook. The conclusions I have come up with are based on the information they gave me along with many hours of independent research. Although the following is speculative in nature, it is based on fact.

On October 24th 2007, Microsoft won a bidding war against Google for a small stake in the social networking site Facebook.com. The result was that Microsoft spent $240 million for a measly 1.6% share of Facebook, Inc. This figure sets Facebook's valuation at a whopping $15 billion.

To try to grasp how much money 15 billion really is, here are the dimensions of a standard United States one dollar bill.
Standard US One Dollar Bill

If you pile 3,000 of those together you get a pile that looks like this:
Three Thousand Dollars

Now it gets interesting. Here is a pile the size of Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg:
Zuckerberg Stacked

Lastly, the 15 billion one dollar bills that represent the valuation of Facebook:

15 billion dollars
See the person in the bottom right? That is Mark Zuckerberg with a huge freaking smile on his face.

Why would the brilliant businessmen at Microsoft buy a share of Facebook for that ridiculous amount of money? The answer lays on Facebook's potential to dominate Microsoft's current advertising competition.

Traditional media advertisers prioritize ads based on how much companies are willing to pay. The advertisers focus on distracting the customer using a pretty face or funny jingle in order to embed a product or idea in the potential customer's brain. The likelihood that the customer will ever need the product or service is barely a consideration. The result is that many billions of dollars are spent annually on advertising products to people who will never need them (ex. Tampon ads seen by men).

Online advertisers make up for this limitation by taking potential customers' intentions into consideration. Modern search engines deliver ads based on search queries and the content the user is currently viewing. The basic idea is that online users only see ads related to what they are intending to find online. Thus, these ads are much more relevant to the user and on a per ad ratio sell more products.

Facebook has the potential to create a system much better than either of the above mentioned systems. The problem is it is very difficult for outsiders to realize the potential (the reason everyone is confused about Facebook's valuation) and even more difficult for insiders to accomplish (the reason other social networks are not worth as much).

On Facebook, people interact with their friends online. They discuss whom is dating whom, what movies are good, and attempt to retrace their previous inebriated night using photos taken by friends. Those aspects are no different than the other countless social networks. Facebook is different because of the value of its data. It tracks and records all the conversations, actions, and relationships of its users. If this data were fed into the proper advertising platform, the outcome would have the potential to dramatically increase the amount of products sold per ad.

Imagine if all the conversations on Facebook were fed through natural language interpreters in order to understand users' likes and dislikes. Take this a step further and imagine if all of the users' photos were fed through image interpreters to find commercial products. In theory, a system could be created that is sophisticated enough to identify the clothing brand of a person featured in an image, determine who is influenced by this person, and use this information to market to specific targets. Think about the impact on a high-schooler who sees an ad delivered on Facebook featuring the beautiful cheerleader at his school with a Pepsi can in the background. This system could work equally well for co-workers, family members, and significant others. The possibilities for 'relationship driven advertising' are practically endless.

This kind of system would enable companies to stop spending millions for a celebrity endorsement and start buying a guaranteed recommendation from an influencer of a potential buyer for a fraction of the cost.

If a company could be the sole provider of this superior advertising system, they would be positioned to serve a majority of ads online and lead the movement of dollars spent offline to their service online. Microsoft realizes this and subsequently views the potential value of Facebook and its data at $15 billion.

To make this a reality, Facebook will need the help of some of the smartest people in the world. Together they will need to build an advertisement platform capable of understanding users at a level never before achieved with technology. They will need to write software far superior to the current data interpreters, and they will need to work on a much larger scale. This advertising platform will first work with text and eventually start working with images and videos. Currently, the major search engines are the only systems in the public sector capable of anything remotely like what Facebook needs.

This is precisely why Facebook is working so hard to get people from Google. Trusted sources report that top employees are switching from Google at a rate of two to four a month. In addition, Facebook is targeting major universities and employees from Yahoo and Microsoft. They are using the reputation of their company to attract the best and brightest from all around the world.

Only time will tell if they will succeed. So far, Zuckerberg's execution of monetizing ads has failed miserably. He continues to lead his company with a cautionary style of making big changes and then panicking quickly after launch. (e.g., photos, News Feed, Beacon, and, most notably, Facebook's Platform). He has chosen the risky path of refusing the appointment of a more experienced CEO and subsequently has made many basic mistakes. The current path the company is taking is leading some Facebook users to become frustrated by spam and start looking at alternative social networks. Right now this is a small trickle, but if left unresolved it could lead to major issues for Facebook in the future.

Facebook Spam
Facebook Spam

Facebook has the potential to revolutionize the advertising industry. It has a strong foundation of tens of millions of users and all the money it needs. With all the pieces in place, Facebook's success will rely solely on how well it executes its extraordinary plan. To Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg, I wish you the best of luck--you are going to need it.

But Will It Google?

UPDATE: Since the composition of this post, the website in question has be redesigned and is now far more SEO-friendly!

I'm about to bring up something I've written a little bit about before, but today I've taken part in an interesting task that further highlights the disappointing disconnect between advertising and search engine marketing.

I saw a funny ad on the bus two days ago while I was on my way to work. It was for a condominium building in central Seattle and the ad was situated in the great advertising spot in between the tops of other people's heads and the ceiling of the bus. Everyone likes that spot: it's the exact place where you don't have to look anyone in the eye. The text of the ad said, "Beautiful New York-style flats starting in the mid-$300Ks. And one ugly one for $289,950." EDIT: It actually says "with one ugly one at $289,950."

I've been riding Seattle buses on a semi-regular basis for eighteen months. Never before have I seen an ad that I will remember after I leave the bus. Later in the day, I wondered if I could find an online version of the ad and visit the company's website. I remembered that there had been a URL on the ad itself. However, like many people who don't have Internet-equipped mobile phones and who do have dodgy memories, the company's name and its website had escaped me. Of course, this presented a fantastic opportunity.

Could I find this company on the Internet, using only the information I had from their ad? I even remembered the street on which the building was located. Surely it would take a pretty horrifying SEO effort not to rank for your ad's contents and your address. Before I even began my research, I figured that if I couldn't find the website, very few other people would be able to, either.

I had no luck whatsoever. I tried a number of different searches using the content of the ad, such as and one ugly one seattle flats, and one ugly one, seattle bus advertisement "and one ugly one", plus a string of other queries, some more sensible than others. I included the street, the city, and the ad's keywords in multiple search phrases. The best result I got was this site, which links to the author's Twitter update about the ad. The update is from over two weeks ago, meaning that the ad has been live for over fifteen days. This process had taken up way more time than most people would have bothered to waste on such a task, and I gave up quickly thereafter.

However, I was back on the bus this morning and I saw the ad again. I tried to take its picture with my phone, but the lighting was bad and the photo is blurry. I did, however, manage to convince all my fellow bus-riders that I was a very strange person. I also managed to commit the ad's URL to memory. Click through with your speakers off and discover why the Carbon56 condominiums' site will never rank for anything aside from its own name.

Am I just lucky to have stumbled across an example of bad SEO? Would most ads' sites have been nearly as devoid of searchable content? Every single search-engine-friendly practice is blatantly missing. The site displays no meta information, no H1 tags, no H2s, no meaningful title tag, and absolutely no written content. There is only one page, as all the content is presented in Flash. The page source is truly painful.

Generally, even the most poorly-optimised sites will contain something for search engines to read. When we complete site reviews, we usually end up including instructions on how to improve current features: I've never before looked at a commercial site and found it totally lacking. I am not sure where the company believes its traffic is going to come from if not through search. They are mistaken if they think that their offline marketing is going to draw the highest number of people possible to the site, due to the aforementioned tendency for people to forget URLs.

The company who built the site have similar problems on their own domain, including this rather low-rent hidden text:

        Seattle based creative and advertising firm

	specializing in brand development and brand

	management, advertising, design, web design

	and web marketing, radio and video production,

	pr, and much more.

They've not used sIFR or any other text-replacement mechanism to display the words that are actually included in Flash, just as they haven't included anything similar on Carbon 56's site.

The current state of the housing market means that selling condos in downtown Seattle is a bit tougher than it used to be. Yet the descriptive text Google is displaying with the site's result refers to the building's previous status, as an apartment complex where units were for rent, not for sale.

I would have thought that SEO would have infiltrated the advertising industry more than it seemingly has, if this is indicative of multiple offline campaigns that attempt to draw people to websites. I like the ad. It's not earth-shatteringly fantastic, but it's far cuter than every other ad I've seen on city buses. It clears the first hurdle of advertising, easily acquiring my attention for long enough to make an impact. However, it's hard for me to become a converting customer when I can't even find a website.

How Lucrative is AuctionAds?

We have some, well, buddies over at BuddyTV, so I was interested to see that they were AuctionAds' May Publisher of the Month. "Good for them," I thought, before going, "Wait, what's AuctionAds?"

Yeah, yeah, don't make fun of me. So I don't know what AuctionAds is...give me a break, we've got a lot going on here at the MozQuarters (especially with Rand in China...in fact, the Moz Squad will be very busy today ~~playing frisbee at the park~~ tackling that task list he left for us). Anyway, I checked out their site and found a handy list of 10 Reasons to Run AuctionAds. Read it if, like me, you're a bit slow on the uptake and don't know what AuctionAds is.

Basically, you sign up on their site to be an AuctionAds publisher and insert their ad code on your site. They show relevant eBay products to your visitors (relevant meaning related to your site's content), and you make money when a visitor clicks on the ad. I chatted with Neil Patel about AuctionAds because he's pretty familiar with the site, and he said that AuctionAds places a 30-day cookie on users who click through from your site, so during that time if they convert into a signup or win an auction you can get paid. According to Neil, sometimes you can get paid if the user simply bids on a product but doesn't win (apparently this depends on the geotargeting, the location of the user, and what version of eBay he or she is using).

Neil said that AuctionAds is much better than Adsense if you have a lot of social media traffic, and he knows people who make over $10k/month with it. I'm not sure how well the platform is working for BuddyTV, but I did see the products they served me:

I would think that more relevant products for BuddyTV would be TV shows on DVD, not audiobooks and sheet music. Oh well.

Have any of you used AuctionAds? If so, how satisfied are you with the service? Does it bring a nice stream of revenue?

P.S. Neil just fired me an email saying that AuctionAds takes no revenue cut--they pay out 100% to the publisher.

WikiLobbying - Stephen Colbert Covers Wikipedia Marketing

I don't really need to say anything here - Colbert's covered it all:

The video embed system doesn't work so click here to watch it.

This is clearly a program that "gets it." The lines in this piece are almost too good to be true, including:

Wikipedia - The encyclopedia where you can be an authority, even if you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

and

When Wikipedia becomes our most trusted reference source, reality is just what the majority agrees upon.

and, last but not least,

When money determines Wikipedia entries, reality has become a commodity.

It's hard not to laugh, not just because he hits the issues square in the jaw, but because so many folks that play in the SEO sphere do accept payment for what amounts to "Wikilobbying." Thanks for the word, Mr. Colbert, we promise to use it as best we can.

Online Advertising Needs to Evolve

Jeff, Scott and I had a lengthy, post-work discussion today about online advertising today. We discussed the usual issues:

The more you use the web, the more immune you are to advertising
AdSense (and YPN) prey on the naivete of users - savvy visitors don't click these
It's very, very hard to find a good advertising model on the web
CPM ads are, by and large, invisible and cause more annoyance and frustration than value.
Even the relatively solid advice given two years ago by Boxes & Arrows about ad placement seems to ring hollow - I feel like the web surfing population develops ad blinders faster than UI designers can find ways to make them stand out.

We also spent a great deal of time talking about how relatively effective some offline forms of advertising have become, including:

Magazine ads (which are basically CPM, only without the metrics) - they're generally well-targeted and well designed. I know Mystery Guest actually enjoys some of the ads in Bust magazine, and I enjoy a few ads in Wired and Business 2.0
TV ads, though generally lackluster, are occassionally impressive enough to warrant viewing on Youtube or rewinding on the Tivo
Billboard ads, which have evolved into a true art form in many instances (for example, check out some of these)

But, in the online world, there's a scarcity of good ads. We came up with only a few good examples:

Services like ReviewMe and SponsoredReviews - real opinions from people you trust on products or services they wouldn't have found by themselves. I'm a huge fan - I actually read the entire "ad"/"review" when a blogger I read writes them.
StumbleUpon's paid inclusion program - more sites need to start thinking about how they can do this.
The occassional creative ad on a site like TechCrunch or Boing Boing - TLA's ad touting "easier than getting Arrington to link to your site" is pretty genius, and it actually stands out.

Are there other solid forms of advertising on the web that can truly function as the backbone of a business' income? Am I simply living in the bubble so much that I can't see how regular web users really do read ads, click them and buy from the sites they find?

So Long Press Release, Helloooo Social Media

We've got a couple of clients who're releasing new services with a standard PR-driven media campaign (press release, etc), and we're attempting to enhance them with a viral marketing component. While a press release targets mainstream media, news sites, and the like, we're hoping the complementary Digg submission can hit the viral channels of the web. This is a good time to mention that the Digg-bait doesn't replace the press release; it simply complements and enhances it (hopefully).

We've seen both success and failure at getting articles Dugg in the past for SEOmoz and other sites we write for, but this is the first time we've tried to incorporate it as a complement to a PR blitz. What I've noticed as we work to create this is the process is very similar to creating the press release itself. We know our target audience, we know what they like, we know what tends to get their attention, and now we have to spin and package our client's product to appeal to them. So how do you go about Diggifying something that wouldn't normally be Diggable?

Trying to Digg the normal landing page for a feature seems way too spammy, so we're creating a carefully targeted blog post about the feature and its unique, "wow, that's cool" aspects. Obviously, this will link out to the feature itself.
Creating a headline for the Digg submission is tricky business. In other Digg efforts we've found that the headline and description can make or break a Digg submission. Since you only get one shot, it's important to be very strategic about the headline you use. Certain formats such as how to's, top tens, and others tend to be very popular--sometimes too popular in that they could send up spam flags.
Timing your submission to Digg is also key. Once again, you only get one shot, so it's important that you make the submission in order to control the content of the headline and description. If Digg user '8thGradePimp' scoops you and uses a mangled, worthless headline, you're sunk.

Once you've prepared your strategy, launched your content, and submitted it to Digg, you're unfortunately left in a classic hurry-up-and-wait scenario. Do the Diggs come? Do you get buried? Does your server crash from too much attention? Do you wanna dance?

Just like any publicity effort, Digg's very fickle and never foolproof, but if you can manage to get Dugg and make the front page, it could certainly be a juicy piece of artillery in the PR arsenal.

Since we're just beginning to experiment with this tactic as a PR tool, I'd love to hear what you guys think. Do any of you use social media sites as PR tools? What sort of success and/or problems have you found with the tactic? Is it something you'll attempt to use in the future?

News Can Be Great Content

I’ve written before at SEOmoz about the advantages of running a good news source, and why it can make sense from a SEO and marketing perspective.

First of all – there’s an old mantra about good content gaining good natural links.

I used to rail against that statement, but the simple fact is that link building has needed to become very content centred over the past couple of years.

But good content isn’t enough – you need to have great content.

In overcrowded markets, it can be very hard indeed to get your content noticed, which is why investment in a news source can really work to an advantage if you can fit it into your overall promotions strategy.

Syndication channels (such as Google News), existing solely to help people find news more easily, and social media sites (such as Digg and Slashdot) have a strong news edge to what they publish.

Here’s the common problem – people invest in news sources and make no effort to make them great.

Instead, cheap writers are often hired to simply rewrite other people’s news stories.

The result is content – but it’s not great. And it’s going to offer very little in terms of SEO/marketing/branding for the news site.

Great content should be as unique as possible, to stand out from the crowd.

Here’s a couple of tips to write great news content:

1. Don’t rewrite individual stories – write multiple angles from multiple sources into the same news item. It makes the content more unique, more useful for the reader, and more likely to be a useful reference point for news listing sites.

2. Break original stories – if you see something that may be news in your vertical, write it. You don’t even have to be the first published coverage of the story online – but if you’re the first news source to cover it, you’ve got link bait.

Let’s put this all into perspective - SEOmoz has established itself as a center for industry news and information in SEO. It may not be syndicated by Google News, but plenty of people in the business turn to here for SEO news.

Let’s imagine Rand decided he wanted a news source from the beginning, and decided to hire one or more people to rewrite SEW or SERoundtable.

Do think that would have put SEOmoz on the map? Created the community it has, generated the links and traffic that it has, created the branding that it has achieved?

Instead, Rand has done both of the above tips – he’s covered news published elsewhere and put his own spin on it, and also covered unique stories.

That’s what great content is all about – if you want to unleash the potential of a news source.

How to Alienate a Country of Users

Boy, I sure am learning how to see the world of search from a UK point of view, and this point of view is often neglected, overlooked, and mad as hell about it. While discussing conversions, Ammon showed me a very interesting example of how a site can instantly alienate a UK user and get him to leave the site.

Pretend I'm a user from the UK. Oi, mate! Ello govnah! Ow are ooh? Okay, enough of that. Never mind my pathetic British spoken accent; typing it is even worse. Anyway, say I'm interested in one of them fancy new iPod nanos. I pull up Google.co.uk and, since I'm an average Liam (like Average Joe, only with a British name!), I type in "nano ipod." Here are the top results I get:

I ignore the top paid listings for now and focus on the first four. Understandably, Apple is the number one result, but Amazon.co.uk is right below Apple at #2. Hmmm, that title tag for Amazon is pretty ugly-looking, and the description is even worse. Apple's title tag, however, is exactly what I'm looking for--an iPod nano. The description is perfect, so I click on that result.

The home page looks promising--it's sleek, looks cool, and offers exactly what I want:

I get excited about making my purchase and scan for the price. But wait a minute:

Dollar signs? Bloody hell! The prices are totally U.S.-centric! Lee, Fresh Egg's SEO director, agreed; other than hearing Madonna's crap faux-British accent, nothing turns a Brit off more than seeing a site offer only American pricing. As if that's not bad, check out the customer service phone number:

Customers in the UK will have to pay to use that number because it's a 1-800 number and not 0-800. Apple, you've just lost a sale. I hit the back button and re-examine the search results.

The two results listed underneath Amazon's are advertising iPod accessories, which isn't what I want. It looks like Amazon.co.uk will be my best bet, so even though it was a less attractive-looking result than Apple's, the fact that they're on a UK domain probably means that they specifically cater to UK users, and thus they earn my trust.

You're probably thinking "Oi, Rebecca! But Apple had a paid listing at at the top of the page that pointed to apple.com/ukstore!" That's true, but how many users are blind to the top and right-hand side of the screen because of the fact that they're paid ads? Probably a lot. "Okay," you're thinking, "but why doesn't Apple just create apple.co.uk and optimize (optimise, hehe) that?" Well, that's a good idea. The only problem is that apple.co.uk is already registered to Apple Agency, an illustrating company.

So, what should Apple do? Probably serve its UK page to the appropriate IP addresses. Until then, it's doing a bang up job of losing out on potential sales.

Postscript: Filtering the search result to only display pages from the UK bumps Amazon to the #1 position, and Apple disappears from the first page to...well, I couldn't find it in the organic results on the first 10 pages. While the user will find his product all the same, Apple is really hurting itself here by neglecting its potential UK user base.

LinkBucks - A Unique Way to Monetize Outbound Links

I have to say that I'm rarely impressed by new ideas in website monetization, but Linkbucks, as a concept, is fairly revolutionary. The idea is that Linkbucks will display ads on the websites and pages you link to - check out their site for more.

They answered a few of my initial questions on the homepage:

Currently we pay you $1 US for every 5000 top banner ad impressions, and $1 US for every 3500 intermission ad impressions.

This tells me there's the option to display a banner on the page you link to, or the option to use interstitial-style pages, which pay out more (but are undoubtedly more annoying for users).

The problems are inherent - your users are suffering through additional advertising for using your site as a reference point. However, some might claim that it's better than showing ads on your own site, and I have little doubt that there are some fairly spammy ways to abuse this network (I note that the site already only counts clicks from certain countries).

If anyone's given this service a shot and has experience, I'd be thrilled to hear your take.

If you're going to spam, a bit of quality control would be nice...

Scottfish was doing some searching late last night when he came across this website. Now, normally I'm not one to out other's spam pages - it's just wrong somehow!

I'll make an exception in this case though...

The site is your standard spam page with lots of ads up top. What is more amusing is the bottom of the page:

Looks pretty standard still - right? How about this?

For some reason that just cracked me up...They never changed the default location for their files before they uploaded...

Not only that but this crap ranked!!!

Maybe there is hope left for the spammers in the world eh?

How Advertising on the Internet Should Work

In the world of web search, we often recoil in disgust at the thought of buying advertising on the Internet. Likewise, I often hear web entrepreneurs and search marketers decry the lack of value in traditional web advertising - banner ads, overlays, pop-ups, etc. However, there are ways it can be done effectively, and I've got a few examples to share. These are my personal favorites - not only do I think they effectively advertise for the buyer, they're also excellent monetization techniques for the content provider - a very rare combination.

Techmeme's Sponsored Posts

I love what Gabe has done at Techmeme with advertising, because it's so much more valuable to both readers and advertisers than standard banner ads or mind-numbing Google AdSense. In fact, I actually find myself clicking and reading 2-3 sponsored posts each week off the site - which is remarkable. Think about it... Can you picture yourself clicking 2-3 display ads of any kind off of any site?

NBC's "Sponsored" Online Versions of Popular Shows

Finally, someone in the world of traditional media seems to be "getting" the web. NBC shows 3 mini-commercials (~10 seconds each, all for the same advertiser) inside a reasonably high quality, full-screen-able version of their TV shows. Mystery Guest watches these in our home office while she works out on our elliptical, and occasionally we'll crash in there together if there's something we've forgotten to Tivo. The advertiser also gets a permanent display on the screen next to the video (if you don't make it full screen), as in the above screen capture with T-Mobile.

BTW - Yes, I have a huge crush on Tina Fey's Liz Lemon character. She actually reminds me a lot of Mystery Guest. :)

Hakia's Blogger Quote Ads

I really enjoy the idea that Hakia is taking banner ads and customizing them to the actual site they reside on. Not only that, but they use real quotes from the blogger/owners of those sites, which is a great way to actually get readers to pay attention. I'm betting that CTR on those is significantly higher than a standard banner ad, and the engagement value with the thought leaders is an excellent bonus.

StumbleUpon's Stumbletising

StumbleUpon Advertising

StumbleUpon has created what could be the very best contextual, demographic-targeted ad system I've seen. There's several brilliant components that make it great:

You're catching people at a time when they're not only willing but actively requesting to be shown random, interesting content.
The subtlety of the ad feature makes it feel like you're stumbling on any other site.
You get instant feedback - thumbs up and down - on the campaign from a wide swath of visitors
Brand exposure is a given - they're not just seeing an ad, they're actually on your website
You can choose your target - Stumbleupon lets you select which segments of their audience you want to reach

Listen up carefully Reddit, Netscape & Digg - you should be figuring out how to make a combination of this and the Techmeme model work for you. It's not right for every advertiser, but it's a huge step forward.

Newsvine's ElectionVine Widget

Of course, the best form of advertising is the one you don't pay for, and Newsvine (hi Mike; sorry for not recognizing you at the party) is doing an excellent job of this with their embedded election widgets, a part of their ElectionVine campaign. Check it out:

Had to Remove the Widget as it crashed IE 6 & 7 - sorry, gang.

The idea is simple - let people vote on their potential presidential candidate, but the execution is what makes it genius. The widget enables a community for each site that runs the voting, so you can see if visitors to a particular site are more/less likely to be fans of one candidate or ideology.

BTW - Let's please refrain from discussions of candidates or politics (apart from the relation to advertising on the Internet) in the comments. I'll delete or edit any of these that cross the line, as SEOmoz is not and should not be a home for that particular debate (if you're looking for it, there's tons of places on the web to go - maybe Newsvine?) :)

Please do share some of your favorite web ads or online advertising options. I'd love to see what others are doing to be creative with getting a paid message out in non-traditional ways.

p.s. Happy 4th of July to our American readers, and sorry to our Canadian readers for missing Canada Day - hope you had a great one.
