Welcome to the Internet's premier
Ad submission service web site, Blastomatic, #1 throughout the Internet. Blast-O-Matic has developed a
viral system that combines AD submission with a confirmation of your data
prior to submitting, there-by eliminating the aggravating false submission,
spamming, and email bombing associated with all the rest of the AD submission
services. We also offer free AD systems on our other servers if you are
looking for an excellent lead generator. Contact me for more information
on how you can get one of these new lead systems for your self or business.
By the way, our new lead sites also come with a free autoresponder system
and a lead control panel to help you manage the leads this system brings
in. This is one powerful marketing system!
Search engines are the
latest craze, because that's where most of a web site's traffic comes from!
Over 48% of your site's traffic comes from people looking for what you have
in the search engines. But only the top 20 in any type of search will draw
the traffic. You don't have to think very far to realize that you will probably
never reach those heights in the search engine wars. However, all is not
lost. The next big source of traffic is good news. Links from other sites
represent about 20% of site traffic. This is where link sites, Guest books,
Web Boards and Classifieds come in. Our Blast-O-Matic service submits to
all the links, Guest books, Web Boards and Classifieds on the Internet. This
represents over 12 million links to your site and can represent
a major increase in site traffic in the short run. If you continue to use
this service every 30 or so days, you will get more traffic and more traffic
is good, right?
We have also addressed
the problem of false and erroneous submissions by putting our subscribers
into the equation. You may have noticed that most other link/search
engine submission services charge a sizable fee for their service. We do
not charge you a fee to help you achieve
the desired results regarding your marketing efforts and using our Blast-O-Matic
system. This also assures that our system gets little if any unscrupulous
submissions and false email addresses, both saving you time, money as well
as making a mentor available to help you.
Allowing your visitors
to leave a link from your AD system to theirs is also a great way to build
traffic. Giving them a Links Page and autoresponder is one of
the best ways to develop a loyal subscriber. We have both services. Anyone
can get a free submission system from us which includes an autoresponder lead control
panel and as one of our subscribers you get the lead details from anyone
setting up a free submission system.
We have discussion and Support Forums!
Get your marketing questions answered by successful webmaster, share your
experiences and show off your expertise, learn Internet marketing tips and
tricks, or just start a general discussion. We guarantee that every question
will be answered. We also have a weekly live broadcast you can interact with
to listen to and learn first hand from the pros. Contact me to find out how
you can get in on the calls.
You'll probably also want to subscribe

detailing proven traffic-building strategies that you can put to use and
profit from immediately.

Types of social marketing Using the benefits and of doing 'social good' to secure and maintain customer engagement. In 'social marketing' the distinguishing feature is therefore its 'primary' focus on 'social good', and it is not a secondary outcome. Not all public sector and not-for-profit marketing is social marketing.
Public sector bodies can use standard marketing approaches to improve the promotion of their relevant services and organizational aims, this can be very important, but should not be confused with 'social marketing' where the focus in on achieving specific behavioural goals with specific audiences in relation to different topics relevant to social good (eg: health, sustainability, recycling, etc).
As the dividing lines are rarely clear it is important not to confuse social marketing with commercial marketing.
A commercial marketer selling a product may only seek to influence a buyer to make a product purchase.
Social marketers, dealing with goals such as reducing cigarette smoking or encouraging condom use, have more difficult goals: to make potentially difficult and long-term behavioral change in target populations.
It is sometimes felt that social marketing is restricted to a particular spectrum of client -- the non-profit organization, the health services group, the government agency.
These often are the clients of social marketing agencies, but the goal of inducing social change is not restricted to governmental or non-profit charitable organizations; it may be argued that corporate public relations efforts such as funding for the arts are an example of social marketing.
Social marketing should not be confused with the Societal Marketing Concept which was a forerunner of sustainable marketing in integrating issues of social responsibility into commercial marketing strategies. In contrast to that, social marketing uses commercial marketing theories, tools and techniques to social issues.
Social marketing applies a “customer oriented” approach and uses the concepts and tools used by commercial marketers in pursuit of social goals like Anti-Smoking-Campaigns or fund raising for NGOs More here3.
Four New Ps Personalization: It is here referred customization of products and services through the use of the Internet. Early examples include Dell on-line and Amazon.com, but this concept is further extended with emerging social media and advanced algorithms. Emerging technologies will continue to push this idea forward.
Participation: This is to allow the customer to participate in what the brand should stand for; what should be the product directions and even which ads to run. This concept is laying the foundation for disruptive change through democratization of information.
Peer-to-Peer: This refers to customer networks and communities where advocacy happens. The historical problem with marketing is that it is “interruptive” in nature, trying to impose a brand on the customer. This is most apparent in TV advertising. These “passive customer bases” will ultimately be replaced by the “active customer communities”. Brand engagement happens within those conversations. P2P is now being referred as Social Computing and is likely to be the most disruptive force in the future of marketing.
Predictive modeling: This refers to algorithms that are being successfully applied in marketing problems (both a regression as well as a classification problem).4.
Brand A brand is a collection of images and ideas representing an economic producer; more specifically, it refers to the descriptive verbal attributes and concrete symbols such as a name, logo, slogan, and design scheme that convey the essence of a company, product or service. Brand recognition and other reactions are created by the accumulation of experiences with the specific product or service, both directly relating to its use, and through the influence of advertising, design, and media commentary. A brand is a symbolic embodiment of all the information connected to a company, product or service. A brand serves to create associations and expectations among products made by a producer. A brand often includes an explicit logo, fonts, color schemes, symbols and sound which may be developed to represent implicit values, ideas, and even personality. The key objective is to create a relationship of trust.
The brand, and "branding" and brand equity have become increasingly important components of culture and the economy, now being described as "cultural accessories and personal philosophies".
In non-commercial contexts, the marketing of entities which supply ideas or promises rather than product and services (e.g. political parties or religious organizations) may also be known as "branding". More here5.
Social Marketing Social marketing is the systematic application of marketing along with other concepts and techniques to achieve specific behavioral goals for a social good. Social marketing can be applied to promote, for example, merit goods, make the society avoid demerit goods and thus to promote that considers society's well being as a whole. This may include asking people not to smoke in public areas, for example, ask them to use seat belts, prompting to make them follow speed limits.
Although 'social marketing' is sometimes seen only as using standard commercial marketing practices to achieve non-commercial goals, this is an over-simplification.
The primary aim of 'social marketing' is 'social good', while in 'commercial marketing' the aim is primarily 'financial'. This does not mean that commercial marketers can not contribute to achievement of social good.
Increasingly, social marketing is being described as having 'two parents' - a 'social parent' = social sciences and social policy, and a 'marketing parent' = commercial and public sector marketing approaches.
Beginning in the 1970s, it has in the last decade matured into a much more integrative and inclusive discipline that draws on the full range of social sciences and social policy approaches as well as marketing. More here
