WEBMARKETCENTRAL JANUARY 7, 2009  Best of 2008: SEO Guidance, Part 1 Welcome to the first post in the official Best of 2008 series, which will summarize and link to some of the best blog posts and online articles about SEO, social media, online marketing strategy and more. Matt Cutts Translated: 8 SEO Tips I Heard Him Tell Eric Enge by SEOmoz SEO expert Brent D. Payne summarizes nuggets of SEO knowledge gleaned from an interview Eric Enge did with Matt Cutts. | MODERN B2B MARKETING JANUARY 9, 2009 Sales Lead Management: Thought Leadership with Aaron Ross The next interview in the B2B Marketing thought leader interview series is with Aaron Ross, formerly with salesforce.com and founder of PebbleStorm:CEOFlow. I've long been a fan of his blog Build a Sales Machine and I learn something new every time we interact. Tell us a little bit about how you got into marketing, and what you like most about it. Getting into lead generation was an accident. Back in 1999-2001, I was CEO of an internet company. had more ego than understanding about lead generation and professional selling. Where better to learn that than doing sales at salesforce.com? | MODERN B2B MARKETING JANUARY 6, 2009 Unleash Your House Database with Lead Nurturing Five Tips for Effective Lead Nurturing. Like most companies, you have probably built a significant database of prospective customers. It’s not uncommon to have 100,000s of contacts, or even millions, in a B2B company’s contact database. That database is a significant asset that gets undervalued at most companies. Think about it: if your average cost per new contact is even just $20 (a low assumption) and you have a modest database of 250,000 contacts, then your house database is a $5 million asset. Do you treat as such? How many other assets of that size do you have in your company? | LEADER NETWORKS JANUARY 5, 2009 Social Media resolutions for 2009 The holidays have come and gone – and 2009 starts a new year full of resolutions and hope to do things differently, to make changes – subtle and dramatic alike. We have all spent time with family and friends and connected with each other in ways that we typically don’t over the regular work-a-day rest of the year. We took time to laugh and love, time to send well wishes and share experiences with each other. Now as we turn back to our routines it is time to take a kernel of these experiences with us and apply them to how we conduct our lives and work to keep the connections alive. | | | | | | | |

CONFLUENT FORMS | MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 2009 The Power of Yous
A week or so I was reading the discussions under a group I belong to on one of my favorite business portals, LinkedIn , and I came across a post by a man named Al Walsh. His discussion was about his series of blogs "aimed at start-up to mid-market businesses"; I of course asked him for a mention in his blogs about the RFP Database since I feel it's a service that every startup and mid-market business should know about as a destination for getting competitive bids and new project leads. His reply: Okay David, you're in. call it "the Power of Yous". The moral of the story? MORE >> -

However, things are different in this downturn – different from the last one we experienced in 2001 – 2003. Because of these differences, we can take advantage of at least opportunities we now have that we didn’t have before. Opportunity #1 – Better data and data analysis tools . zip codes.
