Spanky Media Delivers Affordable Web Design that Leads to the Success of New Online Entrepreneurs

Perth, Western Australia (PRWEB) June 18, 2012

As the leading website developer in Australia, Spanky Media has delivered affordable yet quality web designs so that new online entrepreneurs can have better leverage over their competitors.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, about 76% of the population or roughly 16 million Australians browse the Internet. Around 85% of Internet users engage in online shopping. With the high statistics of Australians using the Internet for various applications, it ranked twenty-fourth in the list of countries with the most Internet users all over the world.

For this reason, establishing a website is a good way to increase the revenue of a particular company. Businesses with websites will be able to reach a lot of their target clients all over the world within a limited span of time. But online campaigns are not enough to ensure the success of online entrepreneurs. In 2007, Google reported to have 8,058,044,651 web pages on the Internet. Excluding the number of web pages that were not indexed, thus there might be more than 8 billion websites present in the World Wide Web. With thousands of new websites created daily, it is difficult for a new online entrepreneur to have leverage over its competitors.

On the other hand, a study conducted by IBM showed that about 17% of Australian consumers prefer to use technology when shopping. The same study also showed that 90% of Australian consumers admit that social networks save them a lot of time in shopping. In addition, 40% of them use websites for comparing products, services and prices. This is the reason why big companies have already established their own websites in order to get more revenue for their business. David Jones CEO Paul Zahra noted that website developments can transform businesses into a fully integrated multi-channel retailer.

While big companies have already established their own websites, small online entrepreneurs find it challenging to establish an efficient one on their own, thus they hire website development companies. Spanky Media, one of the leading website developers in Australia, delivers affordable website design to new online entrepreneurs.

Establishing a website can help businesses increase their revenue with proper online promotion. This can be achieved by using different strategies such as social media integration and using custom WordPress applications to deliver affordable yet effective website development especially for entrepreneurs who are still starting out.

Spanky Media sees the need of new online entrepreneurs to have their own websites to jumpstart their success. They have developed plans to deliver affordable yet quality strategies that will establish websites for small to medium-sized entrepreneurs all over the country.

James Schramko Boosts Leads with New Discovery and Gets YouTube Integration, Opt-in Email Marketing, Video Analytics in One Smart Wordpress Plugin

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) September 11, 2012

SuperFastBusiness and InternetMarketingSpeed founder and CEO James Schramko is asking, Do you want to build your email list faster? Using his existing and new videos on YouTube, Schramko shares hes been testing a few elements that would help optimize his email conversions for all his businesses. From after-post prompts to in-line forms, Schramko found that the tactics usually put off customers who were watching the video. The Internet marketing expert recently revealed on InternetMarketingSpeed.com, I found one method of collecting leads that seems incredibly well accepted by customers.

That method is LeadPlayer. Schramko says, LeadPlayer is software that you install on WordPress and it allows you to add a call to action and/or email captures to your YouTube video embeds.

The Minnesota startup has been creating quite a buzz, with business owners, bloggers, and web marketers singing praises of how crazy easy and awesome the software is for YouTube integration, implementing call-to-action buttons, and adding opt-in boxes. Other popular advantages of the plugin include obtaining valuable video analytics (engagement statistics, revenue calculation, and geolocating customers) and reducing the probability of viewers leaving a website and leaking to YouTube. The creators of LeadPlayer have designed the plug-in to attract audiences, build lists, and promote revenue through videos.

Schramko remarks on InternetMarketingSpeed.com, When you think about it, it makes perfect sense that asking for an email straight after delivering high value content would be optimal. The results are even better when the email capture is directly in the video rather than beside it or nearby. Relevancy is the key. LeadPlayer allows you to have a skip this feature, which is more courteous. Also you can place the opt-in request at the end of the video, which is quite polite. I have found people will watch short videos all the way to the end.

On a recent SuperfastBusiness.com video post, Schramko gave a step-by-step demo on installing LeadPlayer. Using his YouTube interview with renowned and revered direct marketer, Drayton Bird, Schramko illustrates how quick and easy it is to install the plugin, from activating it to changing video settings, from integrating his email list to adding call-to-action buttons. Schramkos little over six-minute demo presents a fuss-free set-up that results in an uncluttered, better-looking video post and an unobtrusive opt-in box at the end. The opt-in box can also appear at the beginning of the video with viewers having the choice to continue to watch.

Aside from providing a straightforward demo of the plugin, Schramko also goes on to say, Installing LeadPlayer on my site has dramatically improved the number of opt-ins from the first site that I installed it on. It really does make a nice clean player. I can see that its something Ill be putting on any site where Ill be putting YouTube videos to the public with WordPress, its a great option.

To find out more on how to use the new plugin for opt-in email marketing, check out James Schramkos demo on SuperFastBusiness.com and on InternetmarketingSpeed.com.

Car Dealers Have New Membership Network To Generate Exclusive Leads

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 7, 2010

The Automotive Advertising Network (AAN) leverages the power of member dealers to generate more exclusive consumer sales leads and increase the visibility of their websites on search engines.

The Automotive Advertising Network is the first dealer-centric lead provider that provides members with unlimited leads and online promotion of their inventory on national, regional and local websites that are strategically positioned to appear on top of the most popular search engines, social networks and blogs. Members can also place their car inventory in front of consumer blogs, press releases and on Fan Page tabs inside of Facebook.

The Automotive Advertising Network, created by industry veterans Brian Pasch, Sean Wolfington and David Boice, help dealers generate more leads for less cost. The member dealers are using their collective power to compete with third-party lead providers who historically have had a big advantage on search engines because of their national footprint and corresponding search authority. The national consumer website for the AAN is located at cardealersale.com.

The networks advertising technology gives member dealers broader exposure for their new and used inventory online by helping them appear where customers start their shopping process search engines and social media Web sites like Facebook,” said Pasch.

It is very difficult for dealers to come up on top of the search engines for these phrases because there are many lead providers competing for the same 10 results on the first-page, explained Wolfington.

“The network has the national and regional search authority so our vehicles appear on top of the results in our market,” said Brian Benstock, GM of Paragon Honda/Acura, the #1 selling Honda/Acura dealer in the world. “All of our vehicles that are listed on the network link back to our dealership website so our website gets more traffic and relevance on search engines because we inherit the search authority of the network.”

“Many third-party lead providers sell the same leads to multiple dealers and this hurts the closing ratio and average gross profit because many dealers are chasing the same lead,” said Benstock. “The network gives us exclusive leads that are not sold to other dealers so the closing ratio is a lot higher.” “Dealers prefer leads that are not sold to multiple dealers because they generate better returns,” said David Boice. “

The Automotive Advertising Network gives local dealers a national, regional and local footprint to increase their authority so they appear ahead of third-party lead providers for popular national and regional search phrases. The networks advertising model is being praised by member dealers because competitors cars and distracting advertising banners are not placed on their car detail pages.

We have a smart strategy to optimize our own web site to appear on top for local searches, but the network helps us reach people who type in the more popular national and regional search phrases like Toyota Recall Virginia,” added Alex Snyder from Checkered Flag Toyota in Virginia Beach. The network also fuels our off-site SEO strategy which helps my dealership websites rank higher for popular search phrases in our market because of the relevant back-links the network provides.

The Automotive Advertising Network powers hundreds of websites that are optimized to appear on Googles page one for popular national and regional search phrases like “Boston Dealers”. This phrase is entered by over 22,000 consumer searches a month and drives consistent monthly traffic to bostondealers.org.

The ad network is our best new source of leads because they have a high closing ratio and are inexpensive because we pay a flat fee no matter how many leads we receive said Jon Sherrell, Internet Director at the Rairdon Group in Washington State.

Participating dealers pay a fixed membership fee to join the Automotive Advertising Network ($ 995) and receive:

Unlimited leads from ready-to-buy consumers who are actively searching for a vehicle in their market.
Promotion of dealership and inventory on CarDealerSale.com, as well as regional and local websites in their primary markets.
Promotion of dealership and inventory on the most popular social media sites with Live inventory posted on your Facebook Fan Page.
Unlimited car inventory publishing on popular blog platforms and WordPress plug-ins for optimized inventory listings.
Banner advertising on the AAN local websites. Also, AAN members will never see competitor ads on their Inventory listing pages. The first search optimized, dealer-centric advertising platform.
Access to the networks automotive press release publishing system and unlimited press release publishing on national and regional websites.
