Office Technology & Search Engine Marketing | S.E.M – Landing Pages

Search Engine Marketing and Landing Pages for your website can generate business, increase web presence and deliver measurable results. Simply put, they are a unique page or separate URL to your website that is found through search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. Based on your industry, keywords trigger your Landing Page to appear in organic search results.

Whats the Point? Landing Pages trigger a specific call to action with limited “exit” points. Unlike traditional corporate website designs, Landing Pages don’t have endless menu navigation or intense page depth; delivering a message, educating the visitor and requesting their information in a call to action is a great way to capture leads for your business.

Orange Label designed two Landing Pages for Applied Imaging of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The opportunity for Applied Imaging was to generate business for Managed Print Services and Document Management. The official launch of the pages will take place early in April.

Orange Label employees, Rochelle Reiter, Debbie Nagel, Kimberly Amoroso and Colleen Haberman, and their families participated in Disney Give A’s Day promotion this week.  Orange Label teamed up with the Orange County Rescue Mission to provide hygiene kits for homeless families.  Not only did we give back to those that are in need in our own backyard but it also opened up conversations with our kids, neighbors and even strangers about families being homeless and the need for basic items that we take for granted every day.

Web 3.0 on the Horizon

No Gravatar

Just when you thought that you finally understood the term “web 2.0”, people are now talking about “web 3.0”. Other than just trying to confuse you more, the idea behind web 3.0 doesn’t take you away from the ever so outdated 2.0 level.

As the technology grows and web 3.0 develops more into a form, we will start to see more web intelligence by semantic search queries and more relevant search data returned to us based on our history of searches. Browsers and search engines will be more understanding of what our tastes are and ultimately become more accurate. Returning personalized search results, not random data.

How would this work? Intelligent data can be gathered from traditional web 2.0 applications, user generated content and other information sharing sources to feed a 3.0 pipeline. Having the technology to understand your decisions and actions might help you make your decisions. HowStuffWorks.com demonstrated the following example:

“Instead of multiple searches, you might type a complex sentence or two in your Web 3.0 browser, and the Web will do the rest. In our example, you could type “I want to see a funny movie and then eat at a good Mexican restaurant. What are my options?” The Web 3.0 browser will analyze your response, search the Internet for all possible answers, and then organize the results for you.”

Below are some  slideshows that do a great job describing how these concepts work. Check them out!

Taking it to the next level…
Could your business or lifestyle use 3.0? What advances do you see happening in how the Advertising and Marketing world operate?
