Virus and blog marketing?

Hi
I’d like to make the service we offer known to the national and international public through the Internet. It’s a web application (for business users) that will be soon active on a specific site. This site is already on line with an opening welcome page. I’ve often heard of virus and blog marketing. Are there any companies in charge of giving visibility and consequently producing traffic on the sites through virus and/or blog marketing? If there are, could you please give me a list of them?
Thank you very much!!

What are the downfalls of a musician depending on myspace for their web presence?

I was having this discussion with a friend today about the pro’s and con’s of a musician depending on a site like myspace. The first thing that came up was if an account was deleted that they would instantly lose access to their fanbase. Another though was how the competition is just a click away. And then there is the factor that myspace records cross markets to the entire network. This isn’t just myspace, but most music/social networks. The pro’s are pretty evident, but I’m looking to know what other NEGATIVES you think exist about this — and if it’s a better idea for a musician to have their own domain/web site, and if so, why.
Note: I’m personally aware that an artist should have their own website. What I’m looking for is valid arguments as to WHY they should have one instead of depending on sites like myspace or facebook (especially since myspace and facebook are free and having your own site can cost money). The biggest argument against it is cost. Many artists say what’s the point when myspace is free and easy to update (especially for someone not net savvy) — so what justifies it?

Nowadays it is hard to imagine the routine of modern society without the Internet. I think today we all use it without stopping to really think about the advantages or disadvantages it may have. However, facts as crimes often happen, and they should make us think about using the Internet.
On the one hand, Internet is a great source of information: you have access to all human knowledge levied. Thus, not having internet is an barrier for many things like sharing news, getting a job, learning culture …
On the other hand, many people violate copyright and promotes dishonesty. There are also people who blackmail and steal identities.

The most interesting topic is communication and social networks: We can talk to people all over the world, make friends and to meet our soul mate. It is also useful e-mail: saves paper and is quick and efficient. But the downside is that many people (especially children) are deceived daily by pedophiles, murderers and bad people. It is also a disadvantage, the lack of interaction in person, users can become people with antisocial tendencies.

Internet is also the largest market in the world: we can buy anything from books to skulls of fetuses. It offers many business opportunities and marketing. With a website and a good idea, anyone can make a fortune. Nevertheless the disadvantage of it is that there are many forms of fraud and cheating: Some people steal bank accounts, fake products are available…
We can find unlimited fun: music, videos and pictures of all type. There are many sites offering free entertainment. The inconvenience is that there are a large number of adult content and grotesque. Internet is flooded with pornography.

In my opinion is a fact that we must continue trying to improve Internet security measures. And frankly, it seems a bit sad so dependent on it. We should learn to live real life and not spend so much time sitting in a chair looking at the computer or mobile.

Anyone who can help me find a legit work at home?

I’ve been doing a lot readings on finding work at home and for some reason, they would always involve payments, money; and when this happens, automatically, I’d think it’s a scam. I thought that this whole thing is so simple, but when I dig deeper into things like these, wow… I just can’t believe it! I have no idea who to trust! So, anyone who can recommend jobs at home for ‘moms’? And plus too, I am not so sure if I can handle marketing things/selling since I don’t really have connections where I live and also, I don’t even have account in those social networking sites, since I just, well, don’t really feel comfortable with them and besides I don’t have a lot of acquaintances.

Anyone who can help me with this?? I deeply appreciate your time and your responses. Thanks a lot!

How would you have supported economic growth if the Republican Economic plan was in play?

http://www.fojb.com/blog/republican-economic-recovery-proposals/Default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

1. Immediate Tax Relief for Working Families: House Republicans propose reducing the lowest individual tax rates from 15 percent to 10 percent and from 10 percent to 5 percent. Under the proposal, a married couple filing jointly could save up to $3,200 a year in taxes.

2. Help for America’s Small Businesses: House Republicans propose to allow small businesses to take a tax deduction equal to 20 percent of their income. This will immediately free up funds for small businesses to create new jobs.

–> Small businesses (those employing 500 or fewer employees) can currently pay up to 35 percent of their income in taxes to the federal government. This is one of the highest rates among major economies of the world and Republicans want to ease the burden.

3. Assistance for the Unemployed: House Republicans propose to make unemployment benefits tax free so that those looking for work can focus on providing for their families.

4. Stabilizing Home Values: In order to encourage responsible buyers to enter the market and stabilize prices, House Republicans propose a home-buyers credit of $7,500 for those buyers who make a minimum down-payment of 5 percent

5. No Tax Increases to Pay for Spending: The congressional Democrats’ spending plan includes record levels of government projects and programs that will substantially increase the current deficit, without spurring a rapid economic recovery, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. House Republicans are concerned that this level of spending could result in near-term tax increases on American families and are insisting that any economic package include a provision precluding any tax increases now or in the future to pay for this new spending.

are those who oppose obamas health plan comparing it to Canada because the accurate comparison is much better?

Germany, I dont hear anyone comparing it to Germanys health care system———-

It’s a talking point you hear regularly from President Obama–in order to fix the larger economy, healthcare costs have to be brought under control. That’s not just rhetoric, there’s plenty of empirical evidence to back up the claim, including two brand new studies.

The first, conducted by the non-profit Rand Corp links the rapid growth in U.S. health care costs to job losses and lower output. Commenting on the study at BusinessWeek’s Money & Politics blog, Cathy Arnst says

The Rand researchers examined the economic performance of 38 industries from 1987 through 2005, in an attempt to assess the economic impact of “excess” growth in health care costs on U.S. industries. Excess growth is defined as the increase in health care costs that exceeds the overall growth of the nation’s GDP—a yearly occurrence in the U.S. The team compared changes in employment, economic output and the value added to the GDP product for industries that provide health benefits to most workers to those where few workers have job-based health insurance.

After adjusting for other factors, industries that provide insurance had significantly less employment growth than industries where health benefits were not common. Industries with a larger percentage of workers receiving employer-sponsored health insurance also showed lower growth in their contribution to the GDP….

The rate of growth in U.S. health care costs has outpaced the growth rate in the gross domestic product (GDP) for many years. In 1940, the share of GDP accounted for by health care spending was just 4.5%. By 1990, it had reached 12.2%, and 16% in 2005, when health care spending totaled nearly $2 trillion, or $6,697 per person, far more than any other nation. This year health care spending is on track to equal 18% of GDP.

That’s largely the reason why so many American businesses are supporting reform.

Wal-Mart, on the other hand, recently came out in support of a mandate on employers to provide health insurance, and the temp firm Kelly Services, which employs thousands, followed with a similar statement.

Less noted has been the diversity of opinion among small and medium-size businesses. Many agree with the Chamber that a public insurance option would undermine the private insurance market and that requiring companies to provide coverage would impair job growth. Others say the current system is so broken that they are assessing whether to support the reform plans.

The wait-and-see approach that many businesses are taking — alternately skeptical and hopeful — is a further sign that the alliances that previously scuttled health-care reform may be scrambled this time around, not just in the health-care industry but also in the business world at large. President Obama and congressional Democrats face formidable obstacles to their reform efforts, but one factor in their favor is businesspeople who may not be as inclined as they were in the past to bring grass-roots pressure against reform.

Another new study, conducted by the progressive Center for American Progress looks at the potential costs for American families if the system isn’t reformed.

Health care costs are expected to grow 71 percent over the next decade, which will in turn drive premium increases for health insurance. Unless we take serious steps now to reform our health care system—in particular to reduce the rate of growth in health care costs—health insurance coverage will slip out of reach for even more individuals than the 52 million Americans who today are uninsured.

This analysis shows that without health reform, average family premiums will grow to more than $22,000 by 2019, up from $13,100 today. In some states with higher-than-average premiums, family premiums will exceed $25,000 in 10 years. Of course, a family’s total health care costs will be even higher once co-payments and other out-of-pocket expenses are calculated into the total.

The costs of not fixing this now are extreme, and have the potential to bankrupt not only individual Americans, but the country. It will continue to hamper job growth, which will in turn lead to more people unable to get insurance, which in turn will increase the premium costs for those “lucky” enough to have insurance. This is not an acceptable future.

Is Google’s data grinder dangerous?
It wants to know more about us than we know ourselves.
By Andrew Keen, ANDREW KEEN is the author of “The Cult of the Amateur.” ak@aftertv.com.
July 12, 2007

WHAT DOES Google want? Having successfully become our personal librarian, Google now wants to be our personal oracle. It wants to learn all about us, know us better than we know ourselves, to transform itself from a search engine into a psychoanalyst’s couch or a priest’s confessional.

Google’s search engine is the best place to learn what Google wants. Type “Eric Schmidt London May 22″ into Google, and you can read about a May interview the Google chief executive gave to journalists in London.

Here is how he described what he hoped the search engine would look like in five years: “The goal is to enable Google users to be able to ask the question such as ‘What shall I do tomorrow?’ And ‘What job shall I take?’ ”

Schmidt’s goal is not inconsiderable: By 2012, he wants Google to be able to tell all of us what we want. This technology, what Google co-founder Larry Page calls the “perfect search engine,” might not only replace our shrinks but also all those marketing professionals whose livelihoods are based on predicting — or guessing — consumer desires.

Schmidt acknowledges that Google is still far from this goal. As he told the London journalists: “We cannot even answer the most basic questions because we don’t know enough about you. That is the most important aspect of Google’s expansion.”

So where is Google expanding? How is it planning to know more about us? Many — if not most — users don’t read the user agreement and thus aren’t aware that Google already stores every query we type in.

The next stage is a personalized Web service called iGoogle. Schmidt, who perhaps not coincidentally sits on the board of Apple, regards its success as the key to knowing us better than we know ourselves.

iGoogle is growing into a tightly-knit suite of services — personalized homepage, search engine, blog, e-mail system, mini-program gadgets, Web-browsing history, etc. — that together will create the world’s most intimate information database. On iGoogle, we all get to aggregate our lives, consciously or not, so artificially intelligent software can sort out our desires. It will piece together our recent blog posts, where we’ve been online, our e-commerce history and cultural interests. It will amass so much information about each of us that eventually it will be able to logically determine what we want to do tomorrow and what job we want.

The real question, of course, is whether what Google wants is what we want too. Do we really want Google digesting so much intimate data about us? Could iGoogle actually be a remix of “1984′s” Room 101 — that Orwellian dystopia in which our most secret desires and most repressed fears are revealed?

Any comparison with 20th century, top-down totalitarianism is, perhaps, a little fanciful. After all, nobody can force us to use iGoogle. And — in contrast to Yahoo and Microsoft (which have no limits on how long they hang on to our personal data) — Google has committed to retaining data for only 18 months.

Still, if iGoogle turns out to be half as wise about each of us as Schmidt predicts, then this artificial intelligence will challenge traditional privacy rights as well as provide us with an excuse to deny responsibility for our own actions. What happens, for example, when the government demands access to our iGoogle records? And will we be able to sue iGoogle if it advises us to make an unwise career decision?

Schmidt, I suspect, would like us to imagine Google as a public service, thereby affirming the company’s “do no evil” credo. But Google is not our friend. Schmidt’s iGoogle vision of the future is not altruistic, and his company is not a nonprofit group dedicated to the realization of human self-understanding.

Worth more than $150 billion on the public market, Google is by far the dominant Internet advertising outlet — according to Nielsen ratings, it reaches about 70% of the global Internet audience. Just in the first quarter of 2007, Google’s revenue from its online properties was up 76% from the previous year. Personal data are Google’s most valuable currency, its crown jewels. The more Google knows our desires, the more targeted advertising it can serve up to us and the more revenue it can extract from these advertisers.

What does Google really want? Google wants to dominate. Its proposed $3.1-billion acquisition of DoubleClick threatens to make the company utterly dominant in the online advertising business. The $1.65-billion acquisition of YouTube last year made it by far the dominant player in the online video market. And, with a personalized service like iGoogle, the company is seeking to become the algorithmic monopolist of our online behavior.

So when Eric Schmidt says Google wants to know us better than we know ourselves, he is talking to his shareholders rather than us. As a Silicon Valley old-timer, trust me on this one. I know Google better than it knows itself.

What do you get if you combine blogger + planner + SEO optimizer + copy writer into one job?

Hi I’m working for a start-up marketing agency in Korea and they have a position that they call “Content Planner”. I’m not sure what you call this in English, but I’ve been asked to translate, and I can’t make up a name for this position!!!

The job requirements is basically content writer (blogger), SEO optimization, copy writing, and blog planning (future blogs). Anyone know what I can call this position in English?

Thanks Marketeers!
