SMarT Marketing

With Yahoo’s recent search index this past week, we are noticing that Yahoo has followed in the steps of Google by marking harmful websites within their natural search results. We noticed when searching on the term “surge protection” that a warning message is produced “1 potential harmful website is marked on this page”. The flagged listing has a warning stating “Warning: Unsolicited Emails”. So it looks like Yahoo is taking it one step further then Google and actually using spam submission details. I like how Yahoo is now putting the Scarlet Letter on those who sending spam! Here are a couple of screen shots.

I have been marketing for years and while most people do not realize that they are always marketing something whether they like it or not, I do realize it. And over the last five years I have been refining my marketing skills towards the internet. Just recently I joined the SMT team for selfish reasons. Reasons being, I am consumed by the internet, search engine optimization, and internet marketing in general, and since I would rather spend my entire day engulfed by my passion, I might as well get paid for it. A good friend of mine once told me in order to be successful, just be the best at what you do. It doesn’t matter what you do, just do it to the best of your ability and follow your passion.
Recently, I sold a Hair salon franchise type business, and my Internet marketing company was acquired by SMT, I have been getting numerous emails asking me “Why did you sell your business and join with SMT? You went from owning two businesses to working for a company.” and the short answer is, “SMT is a very reputable company with a proven track record of Internet Marketing, and while my companies were both profitable, the whole company thing wasn’t my passion which goes back to what I was saying, be the best at what you do and follow your passion, so I made some quality of life decisions and changes, now I am able to focus on my passion, Internet marketing. With my own companies I had to spend entirely too much time on the business aspect, neglecting my family and my passion, now I work on what I enjoy, and go home at the end of the day, which typical business owners don’t get to do. And now it is smooth sailing on the boat I like to call “My Passion”. I would like to thank the SMT team for their warm welcome.

Came across a nice free tool for real estate agents called Postlets. The tool allows users to post properties to several main stream classified networks such as backpage, Google Base, Kijiji, Oodle and more. The site steps you through the process of creating your listing. This is a great tool to propogate your listings across some fo the bigger free classified networks. This application also works for selling cars, but on a more limited distribution.
