The Ongoing Myth That Web Content Must Always Be Short

Posted: 30 Sep 2010 01:41 PM PDT

What impact will Google Instant have on your organic search engine results

Posted: 09 Sep 2010 06:39 AM PDT

So have you been using Google’s new feature called Google Instant? It is an Ajax-like effect where the search results are constantly updated as you are typing your query into the search box. This means you don’t have to click the search button or hit the Enter key in order to see the results. By the time you are done with writing the query the search results are already there. It means people immediately start looking at the results even when they have entered partial search queries. It is totally changing the way people use search engines.

It also means that it is more so important to get higher search engine rankings for your relevant keywords because it can really make a big difference if your link appears within the top 5 links. Also your website must rank higher even for partial queries. This is going to be a challenge and the strongest weapon in your arsenal is going to be your content.

It’s true that the first letter in every sales formula is "A"

All marketing has to start with attention.

If you can't attract attention in the first place, nothing else you do has a chance to work. This is why headlines matter more than anything else you do.

And that's been the case as long as selling has existed. If you've ever been to a Renaissance Faire, think about the way the food vendors let you know what they've got to offer.

When the pretty girl in the tight bodice shouts Hot Turkey Legs! and Cold Beer Here!, those are headlines. They attract your attention and let you know the most important details of the offer.

But you need to remember that the work of the headline is not only to attract attention.

The true job of the headline is to get the first line of your copy (whether it's a blog post, email message, sales letter, video, or podcast) read, watched, or listened to.

In other words, if you gaze happily at the pretty girl but you never approach her for a beer, the headline (and the bodice) have failed.

Copywriting formulas have more than one letter

(If the whole idea of copywriting formulas is new to you, you can find 15 of them here.)

Conversion is the copywriting term for all the stuff that happens between that initial "A" and the sale.

You craft an offer that people will actually want to buy.
You build trust.
You answer questions and counter objections.
You describe appealing benefits to spark interest and fan it into desire.
You make it easy for the prospect to see herself as a customer.
You increase desire with appealing bonuses.
You deliver a clear, compelling call to action.
You build in urgency elements to get the prospect to act today.
You state your call to action again.

Being a jerk is bad for business

Lots of us will reward a jerk with attention. But not many will reward a jerk with business.

Jerks can't be depended on. They play head games. They don't respect their audience. They amuse themselves at the expense of other people.

Prospects are already fearful enough. If your prospects don't trust you, they're not likely to spend any money with you.

You don't have to be a wimp

You'll notice that some very successful businesspeople have strong, tough personas.

They may well make themselves unlikeable to most of the population. That's ok – they're filtering out the customers who aren't right for their business.

The message they send to their right customers, though, is always that they can be trusted. That they'll tell the truth, even when it's not pretty. That they're consistent, whether you like them or not.

The dad from Sh*t My Dad Says would make a good marketer. Let's face it, if you bought a car from that guy, you know that you'd have a completely accurate picture of what was good and bad about the car. He may be offensive at times, but he's trustworthy.

(At least, the real dad and not the one who will be played by William Shatner.)

The dad from "Family Guy" would make a lousy marketer. He's capricious, he goes for the cheap laugh every time, and he has no integrity. There are no customers gullible enough to buy a car from that guy. You may find him hilarious, but no sane person would find him trustworthy.
