Search Engine Optimisation and social media marketing

The YouTube play list below contains videos covering SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) issues, and the write up discusses SEO \(Search Engine Optimisation) and SMSEO   (Social Media Search Engine Optimisation) in general



Info4u offers Online cloud computing services, and SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is an essential part of all online cloud systems that ensures the relevant target market finds the various information portals within your company or organisations online computing cloud.

The target market could be
  • internal office staff
  • different segments of your corporate intranet
  • your customers
  • your suppliers
  • the general public

Each target market segment requires different approaches and different sets of information. How to ensure which set of viewers find which set of information is out of your hands, and in the realm of your Search provider, but you are in control of how you optimise  your page for the different search engines to evaluate your information.

SEO or Search Engine Optimisation is a delicate subject that requires a deeper understanding of many marketing concepts and starts with understanding your target market.

Next is to use selected key words in the web page copy, and ensure that these are used by your primary target market group.

The many SEA's (Search Engine Algorithms) use different techniques and procedures to score points for your selected keywords, so you need to have a very good understanding of what key words are, and how to construct sentences around these key words in a manner that is visually pleasing to your target audience, and also logical to SEA's  (Search Engine Algorithms)

Each video in this play list will add some understanding to the bigger picture, and each video should be viewed independently and analyzed separately first, taking into account the target market of the information provided in the video.

Adding META TAGS in the head section of any html page adds tremendous value to the SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) value of the page, and many of the videos in this playlist will discuss these tags.

The META TAGS should how ever never be separated from the content of the page that the end users (viewers) see and read, and words not in the content should never be placed in the <HEAD> section willy nilly, as this may cause the SEE's (Search Engine Engineers) to view these words as SES (Search Engine Spam).

SEA's (Search Engine Algorithms) are closely guarded secrets of Search Engine Owners, and have many variables which are mentioned from time to time, and when you watch a video discussing any of these take careful note, and write this down so you never forget the particular variable, and its worth within the SEA (Search Engine Algorithm) 

Google professes to use in excess of 250 (two hundred and fifty) individual variables in their SEA (Search Engine Algorithm) which gives you an idea of the size of their logical equation used to evaluate your web pages and the words within your pages when deciding which page goes to the top of a SERP (Search Engine Results Page) list.

SMSEO (Social Media Search Engine Optimisation) is hardly ever discussed in any online forum, but is an essential part of ensuring the success of your social media marketing efforts.  Take note of the videos discussing your target market selection and the word selection criteria during key word selection.

 The first step in SMSEO is to use your selected key words and key word phrases in your social media marketing efforts.

The second vital step in SMSEO (Social Media Search Engine marketing)  is to ensure that your posts have inbound links from -:-
  • your web sites
  • your blogs
  • your forums where you discuss the different aspects of your project, product or service
  • Your other social media platforms

The third vital step SMSEO (Social Media Search Engine Optimisation is to ensure that your posts contain out bound links to  -:-
  • your web sites
  • your blogs
  • your forums where you discuss the different aspects of your project, product or service
  • Your other social media platforms

Following these three steps  is the best you will be able to do, as no social media platform allows you to edit the html code where your social media posts are displayed.

So watch these videos carefully and evaluate them with great care, and make adjustments to your web pages and social media posts with respect for what you have learnt from the videos in this play list.

Changes that will take place soon

There are about to be many changes at Info4u with political issues being removed, and the 4x4 ban issues being passed over to others. Info4u will no longer be pushing the 4x4 ban issues, but we will continue to support the ARBU (Association of Recreational Beach Users) and their political issues.

Info4u will be focusing on CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES and related matters. Our Facebook pages found at www.facebook.com/info4u2use and our Twitter pages at www.twitter.com/info4u2use will focus exclusively on supporting this blog and the main web site found at www.info4u.co.za

The pages at www.info4u.co.za will progressively change and drop the Elephant Coast marketing pages which will be moved to the domain www.mtuba4u.co.za. The web site www.birding4u.co.za will still recieve our support, but this will not be as prominent as it was in the past. 

Online marketing and advertising will reverie our primary attention from now on, and we will be ensuring that the tips and tricks mentioned by Frank Gainsford in his facebook post are also mentioned here along with more details and how to get your business listed in our South African focused marketing pages at www.info4u.co.za

Info4u will be placing some free adds and free marketing space available to the public who take the time to respond to our efforts during the next few weeks, our income will be mostly from paid advertising space in our blogs, websites and other online social media marketing campaigns as well as from consulting fees and fees to set up small and micro companies with cloud computing services such as
  • email
  • blogs
  • facebook
  • twitter
  • web sites (www.yourcompany.co.za)
Info4u will also be offering some short courses which will cover the basics of  how to use social media for your business. These courses will not have any certificates attached, and are not recognized by any training authority, but they will not coast you an arm and a leg. These very elementary courses will give you the confidence to start your own marketing and will be supported by our marketing pages.

New approach to supply Info4u2use products and services.

I have not been blogging here for some time now, and have had a big change in my thinking patterns. I have had a focus shift, and my company is busy with a major  makeover, moving away from the Elephant Coast marketing platform to marketing and supplying cloud computing services for the small and micro industries of South Africa.

We have a face book profile run by Frank Gainsford at www.facebook.com/info4u2use and a Twitter Profile at www.twitter.com/info4u2use which along with this blog and other social media platforms will be complementing the pages found at www.info4u.co.za to market and advertise the Info4u services and products.

Info4u will be marketing the many GOOGLE products available and our primary focus is on small and micro businesses which we will support and educate in ways that will allow them to make good use of the current trends in cloud computing and related marketing aspects of the Internet.
