Jesse I like your epiphany of sorts, but it's going to be hell managing three Twitter accounts. I tried something like this before and it did not last long. It's simply to much work. I'm curious to see how this works out for you. Keep us posted.

Re: 40 Key Elements to Getting Started In Social Media

Fresno,

Thanks for the comment. I would look at another host when your page views get into the thousands per day. 120 visitors a day any basic shared account should support. The problem with shared hosting is that you share the same server with up to 500 or more sites. It takes a few sites on the box with traffic to make the load worse for everyone else. I would consider looking at a VPS in the future, for now you are fine on a basic shared account with the amount of traffic you receive. You could always look at moving to another server if all else fails.

Stephen,

It goes with the territory unfortunately. For the most part the majority of the content abut DQ has been positive. The great thing about authentic negative chatter is it gives DQ a public forum to respond if necessary. You got to take the good with the bad and balance it.

Ken,

It's funny because the phone is the least utilized function for me as well. I primarily use my iPhone as mobile a computer.

Andy,

For the outpost (blogs) the same content is being posted to multiple blogs. Google can frown on it, but it's done sparingly with under a dozen blogs at a time. I space apart the postings about 24-48 hours as well. Worse case scenario is they suspend the blog url, has not happened to me yet. I do it in batches based on car dealerships. Lexus dealerships has about 9 blogs, Dodge has about 10 and so on.

Mark, thanks.

Blogger is the main focus for the outposts, because of the ability to create multiple keyword driven points of entrance, or toll booths. WP will be main the central hub naturally geared for search engine traffic, but it wont be as effective as multiple outposts (blogs). I want to keep the self hosted WP blog pure, robust and informative. The outposts are more like teaser sites strictly for Google juice.

Re: Five Reasons Why Businesses Should Use Social Media Marketing

Mike Fruchter — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 08:26:13 -0000

Peter,

I hit on this topic before in a previous post. I will re-hash on it a bit. While I'm a champion crusader for social media. It's not for every business out there. You pointed out a great example of it in your post. I feel most business can learn about SM, but for some it would simply not matter. If your existing customer base is not using social media, it's a complete waste of time. That's not to say some elements of SM can't be incorporated into the companies marketing strategy such as a blog.

Companies such as the one you point out can market effectively online to their customer base, but it would and should be primarily be via search, PPC etc I recently had a long debate with someone about this same subject. I mentioned to him my local pizza place could not care about social media, sure it might benefit their businesses, but for local businesses they get the best results from search engines primarily through Google and Yahoo local search. When I mention the word blog or twitter to my local pizza place, they look at me as if I'm an alien. These local business don't even have a website online in this day in age. Social media is a magic bullet for the majority of businesses, but there will always be a few where it has no relevance whatsoever.

Peter,

Thanks for spending some time on the blog. I appreciate it. Please forgive me, I have been under a massive workload, and I'm finally getting back to my blog :-) I'm starting to experiment with some new stuff, presentations, video etc, it can put boring subject matter into a whole new context.

Did you happen to the read the e-book for marketing on the social web in 2009? LMK, I will send you the link.

Thanks,

Mike

Peter,

Thanks for the comment. I see that I got you hooked on it :) It's a great alternative monitoring station. You can get the same results with a little manual work as I detailed in this post, as some of the paid solutions offer. That's the beauty of Netvibes, RSS and widgets the possibilities are endless.
