In 2005, Business Week premiered one of the defining articles for business owners and their place online. “Blogs Will Change Your Business” was the title, and the article made many waves in the industry as one of the first from mainstream media to truly acknowledge the power and impact of blogging on business. Since then, thousands of articles in thousands of publications have showcased how the evolution of media and the web has made a fundamental impact on how we do business, not just online, but in virtually every corner of our culture.

The original article had a realistic and objective view of how a business could benefit from a blog. From creating an online identity and building credibility, to market testing and customer interaction, business blogs served more purposes than could be covered in one article. Business Week also stressed the importance of clearing away the clutter – although the numbers for this kind of media were staggering, not everything was worth reading. (more…)

When it comes to gaining search engine exposure, the amount and value of the incoming links to your website is a determining factor when you’re measured against your competitors. We all know that search engines use this statistic as part of their ranking algorithm, most notably so with Google and its infamous PageRank Technology, which measures the importance of your web page based largely on certain linking criteria. But often ignored is the second benefit of these external links, company credibility. It’s obvious both exposure and credibility are important to the success of an online business, so let’s explore some of the why, where and how to create these external links.

Before joining iePlexus my website was just dragging along, not making any money.  Because of their coaching and blog creation, the website is now turning a profit.  I had revenue in the 1st 3 months with them, greater then all of last year….and it continues to grow.  I am close to opening a second site with them.  They will show you how to take full advantage of your keywords and guide you to successful blog writing.  I am very happy with the work that they have done for me. I can fully recommend their service.

Website owners have a variety of programs that they can take advantage of to increase their online revenue and drive additional traffic to their site. The most popular of these is through Google, utilizing their two basic advertising services Google AdSense and Google AdWords. Both of these provide excellent opportunities to take advantage of Google’s huge advertising network for positive online results.

Google AdSense: In terms of simplicity, integration and control, no online advertising program rivals Google’s AdSense program. Essentially, Google AdSense provides website owners with the ability to place relevant ads on their sites and earn revenue when the visitors to their site click on one of the ads. Google AdSense is free for website owners upon approval from Google and is easy to setup and customize.

Just wanted to say thank you iePlexus for the excellent training videos.  I just found out about them and have watched two tonight and feel more confident in what I am to do.  My only regret – I was not informed about these when I first began with your company!  Keep up the good work.  Looking forward to making some money!

iePlexus,

You certainly do have my permission to publish the press release. In the email that I lost, I complimented your skills and expertise in taking lame words and polishing them to make them more reader friendly.  You did a fantastic job!

Think a press release is an outdated, “old media” approach to marketing? Think again.

There’s countless studies and articles highlighting the benefits of a press release for online businesses.

Here’s some things to consider to ensure you’re getting the most out of a press release and why you should have done one yesterday:
