In the meantime i will leave you with a picture of how I feel at the moment. Freelancing is not an easy ride I will vouch for that. Maybe that could be my next blog?

Thanks for your time,
Ryan

What shall you expect for the future? Well the PPC posts will continue. I want to get across the fact that ppc can be done by anyone and the details once late are really simple and can be extremely effective. I believe for simple SEO the same applies. Its like anything. Learning to ride a bike. Its difficult at first but once you understand how it works its simple.

Learning about me. I think with any blog i read i enjoy the fact i am able to read about the author and find out what they do when they arent blogging about their skill. I am wanting to achieve a social zone really with PPC Leeds and integrate everything into this one place. Pictures of what i do, where i go, blogs about my life and everything i do. Its going to be interesting guys.

Read along and we will have a fab ride together. The blog will teach you plenty but also hopefully provide something different than the PPC educational side. Wait till you see my first post about ‘Beer Butt Chicken’. That one will be fun.

Have a great day.

Ryan

Remember The Milk:

Remember the milk is one of the best tools for project managing your online activity. So many integrated features its a must check out on my list. Considering using this tool in the distant future.

Bulb Marketing:

Bulb Marketing is a marketing agency based within Ireland. Bulb offer complete marketing solutions throughout Ireland offering SEO/PPC and Gorilla marketing to all business types. The main feature of Bulb’s site is their regular updates of interesting blogs within the online marketing sector. Last week they worked on a blog which detailed the Omniture suite on a whole including Search Center and Site Catalyst. Check it out today!

Daily SEO Blog:

I am a huge fan of the Daily SEO Blog so i thought i would list one of their blogs from last month. The blog contains the top 5 must have SEO plugins for Firefox. The list includes SEO Quake a great tool for checking back links on any webpage and SEO Tools for Firefox which include PR rating plug ins. These are must have plug ins for anybody within the Search engine optimisation field and both plug ins are used here at PPC Leeds. Great read this blog.

Now obviously this isn’t the most popular searched term however it is extremely encouraging for a site launch. Other ways PPC Leeds has aimed for search engine exposure is through the ‘Google Local business’ links. If you looking to target either a niche market or a localised area then Google local business is brilliant for this. Not only are we ranking on the opening page for the term ‘ppc leeds’ but exposure has also been gained through ‘pay per click leeds’ and ‘pay per click marketing leeds’ with the aid of our friend Google business.

From the screenshots its plain to see we are making strides and this is reflective within our Google analytics search data. It is still early days however and we are not claiming to be SEO gurus (that bit comes later ). We do however realise that from any business point of view it is essential to be listed within your key terms and this has already been achieved for some key terms. It also accelerates the strategy as mentioned early and enables us to be available for our target audience. Stick with us guys, these updates in regards to the business and our progress will be on going. I want to promote clarity and transparency within my working atmosphere and give people the chance to read what i am working on.

But hey im getting there right? I have set myself targets to achieve success, success being delivering my thoughts and opinions on Search Engine optimisation, Pay Per click and other areas of online marketing. I feel as though i have opinions to express, thoughts to get across which can aid people. Its also a way i put down my own memories in writing. Sometimes its best to have the techniques you use written down for your so this blog is also an area for me to show progression through various aspects of my work. I have come on leaps and bounds since i started Search engine optimisation 9 months ago which shows anything is possible within this industry.

The main point of this blog however is not discussing my ability in Online marketing its however time management. Im finding the time aspect of this difficult. Holding down a freelance job, hobbies, girlfriend as well as friends and family is difficult enough without running a blog. Every aspect of life is difficult to juggle together which in a sense is a chellenge in itself.

This is not me waving the white flag however. I guess its realisation that getting my blog to a bigger audience is going to be a long haul. Things take time and effort to mature so this realisation is good. Quite frankly life is always a long and winding road to success, nothing is simple, nothing is instant, unless of course u win the lottery.

Tonight its nearly 9pm and i have to be up at 5:45am for a drive to Leeds from Cambridge for work. This is another example of my not so simple life. But im in this for the long haul, the blog will take shape over time so bear with me people. I want people to become involved within this blog because i feel you can learn the simple things which significantly help with both organic and paid marketing.

Thank you for reading people. Good night all

Upon starting my blogging with PPC Leeds I used hundreds of websites throughout the internet as resources. This is still no different. These websites are fantastic and deserve the recognition they receive from other bloggers worldwide. This week I finalised my aims and objectives of this blog.My initial aim is one tutorial post and one site of the week post weekly. The site of the week post is where I ultimately start my blogging. For those interested in PPC, you will notice that a lot of the high profile websites on the World Wide Web have very poor PPC practice. For example: EBay. Due to EBay’s every extending products list, E bay relies upon keyword generation tools in order to feed thousands of keywords into their PPC campaigns. This means some of EBay’s ads become disjointed, offensive, and obscene.

Really poor PPC practice

Your PPC Sucks aims to highlight these websites and ‘name and shame’ them within the public domain. I share a common bond with Your PPC sucks. The bond of detesting poor PPC practice. The site has some fantastic examples of incredibly bad PPC. For example: Tech Matrix sells Braille software for the blind. Unfortunately in their PPC ad campaign they use the word choice ‘See’. Although not directly offensive, for a PPC campaign to be so poorly structured is beyond belief.

Your PPC Sucks is a relief to all us PPC executives worldwide. I feel the site is a breath of fresh air and offers almost laughable versions of terrible PPC. It also serves as a warning to us all. Sharpen up your PPC or you may end up on the named and shamed list of Your PPC Sucks. Check it out today.

I would like to believe i have numerous ideas, thoughts and expressions which could have a positive affect on people, whether its business wise or socially speaking.

The title isint my delcaration of my new found love for Rowing in ancitipation for the Olympics. Unfortunately thats not the case. Its basically my activities for last night. Recently i purchased a rowing machine (where is this blog going you may ask) and finally last night i set it up. Its a bit of a side project alongside this blog. The rowing machine and the blog are going to work hand in hand. Its my self mission really. Get fit and get noticed.

But what does this have to do with marketing and more specifically online marketing? It doesnt to be honest…but………it lays the foundations for the rest of the blogs from this moment forward.

Rowing is a continious technique where you do the same method over and over the produce the same goal. This is relevant to Online marketing. There is aspects of online marketing which it is essential to complete on each project. I am going to start with the basics and hopefully work the way up. Its a way of helping the novice learn the basics and apply them for some success. Its amazing the amount of blogs on the internet which are so far developed that its actually frightening reading what people can do and what is the ‘bench mark’. But dont worry. Ill start at the beginning. Ill start with something simple, something so effective for measuring the  success attained by Online Marketing. This is little tool i will introduce my blogs with is Google analytics. Happy reading.
