My previous column discussed dealing with increasing amounts of competition in the B2B world. It is no secret that B2B companies are facing increasing amounts of online competition. Many times competing for the prime real estate means dealing with category killers and competition that can be considered direct (a distinct industry competitor) or indirect (those sites that are vying for the same real estate on a SERP but are not necessarily a true competitor that provides a similar solution). Indirect online competition can also come in the form of .gov or .edu sites. B2B sites that are ranking well in the search engines and have a proven solution are effective in dealing with indirect competition due to the relevancy factor.

The domain name of a website is often one of the most overlooked aspects of web development. Yet, when it comes to marketing, it is potentially a very powerful tool. Businesses looking to establish an online presence should use their website to assist in company or product branding whereas stand alone websites can promote their pages in the search engine results.

In the past week I have had two prospective clients raise questions that ultimately stem to the "real value" of having a sponsored campaign, but more importantly, how you derive that "real value."
First of all, lets get some semantics out of the way.... Clicks are valuable; visits are valuable; reducing the CPC is valuable; brand awareness is valuable; but nothing is as valuable as a return on the bottom line. This doesn't mean just improving conversions, but improving the cost/conversion and the lifelong value of every single sale or lead. This is "real value," and sometimes being able to recognize and/or reconcile that true metric is not that easy, especially if you have a longer sales cycle and the purchase decision involves a longer than normal research phase.

There are a number of "wishes" that I have for Google's future. While I would like number one ranking for all of my important keywords and phrases, but I would be willing to settle for Google acknowledging at least a few of my wishes that will benefit the search community as a whole.
Google started out as the beloved child, a fledgling start up that was all heart, and today they are a "hated" brand. Why the fall from grace? In some ways Google is a victim of the too big, too powerful, and too successful affliction that attacks companies that achieve a level of success that few companies dream of. Now that does not mean that I am giving them a pass, they have room to improve and I really do not hate them. I just think there is a lot of areas they could improve.
