If you are going to be effective in marketing you have to believe in your product. You can’t just think, “This is a fine product and will do a good job.” No, you have to be so totally sold on the product that you can’t help but share the news.

Many business owners can find marketing a difficult proposition, but maybe it’s because they haven’t taken the time to fully review and acknowledge the product they are making available.

When you get to the point of passion in regards to your product you may find that your outlook on sharing your product will change. In fact you may find that your marketing takes on an enthusiasm you may have never thought possible with marketing.

Some business owners can get to the place where they accept certain items for sale on their site that are simply designed to fill an online catalogue slot, but what if you conducted an intense search for products that you were absolutely sold on?

Why simply sell ’stuff’ when you could be selling something that makes you proud to be associated with it. This would be the type of products Paul Harvey has talked about over the years – quality products with a reputation that is worth talking about.

Internet marketing is a means of taking the dreaded task of marketing and making it an extension of the zeal you want others to have about a product you already believe in.

No one likes to hide good news; they want to share it with everyone. A man who purchases a new car he’s been dreaming of is right to share pride in his new ride. A child with the latest electronic game can’t help but tell friends about the new gadget. This is the nature of mankind; we share good news.

So why, when it comes to business, do some ecommerce businesses seem to feel that they can’t manage marketing?

Find ways to share good news and then do everything you can to continue sharing the news. Once you get started you may not want to stop sharing the good news. When a customer detects genuine passion for a product they may want to know more about the product.

You don’t have to oversell the product, but you need to express confidence in the products claims and the real and perceived benefits of the product you are selling.

We all get a little bored when we visit a website that simply provides a bland bit of product description and a price.

Most customers want to know more about the product and why you recommend using it. Don’t disappoint them; collect other bits of enthusiasm from customers who have used and loved the product, supply knowledge-based content about the product and by all means personally endorse the product you are selling. If customers trust you and align themselves with your passion for the product you have not only succeeded in marketing, but you have also made friends while improving your bottom line.

With the majority of the rich world now having upgraded to IE7, did Google notice the way Microsoft have stolen search share? Did WE notice? Search engine optimisation international specialists are buzzing. In IE7 there is now an embedded web search facility in the toolbar at the ‘top right’ of the browser. Whilst Google can be selected as the search provider, did we think Microsoft would give up the search currency so easily? Not the same people that knocked Netscape into a cocked hat and into the sidelines of connected world control. But with world on constant alert of the software giant’s malpractice, it can’t be too high in profile. They chose a perfect way to unethically get people to stray from Google.

How they did it

How? By not allowing the selection of a ‘regional’ Google as the search provider. Let’s take the case of a searcher in Canada. When searchers use Google.com for their searches they get a set of results. If they travelled across the border to the US, using Google.com for the same search would yield a different set of results again (some similarities, but different). Now back in Canada the user searches using Google.ca and gets different results again – this time the best optimised set of results. He’s in Canada and Google.ca is built for Canada and delivers the best results (Google.com gives results somewhere between the two because of the overwhelming recognition of .com as a first stop for many domains). The fact that for USA searchers it makes no difference at all gives Microsoft a leading time for regional users to become dissatisfied with the search leader Google before it’s flagged up as a ‘bug’. It’s a perfect mechanism to accomplish their plan of shifting some of that persisting favour Google has amongst web users.

Why don’t they just switch to local Google?

You can try it. Selecting different search providers takes you to Microsoft’s web site from where you get a choice of providers. If you need a regional Google, you have to jump through hoops which the vast majority will not do. But even if they do, the selection doesn’t persist across browser sessions. Microsoft have to allow users to select a different search provider, who knows – someone may even want to use MSN. But the selection is only available from the broad companies – MSN, Yahoo, Google, Ask, etc. These other main search engines (Yahoo, MSN and Ask) have redirects in place that provide local results just as if they were using yahoo.co.uk, yahoo.ca, etc. Google is on their own in the way they provide regional results. Perfect then. Microsoft put up with Yahoo, but bitterly hate the Google that some of their best people are defecting to. The IE7 browser upgrade doesn’t permit people to easily select Google.ca (or other region) as their search provider – and even successfully jumping through the hoops they provide doesn’t allow the selection to persist. Users aren’t going to bother – over time they’ll notice the sub-optimal results but not work out why, they won’t see this search turf issue. They’ll go elsewhere – right into the arms of the next two – Yahoo and MSN.

The solution

Who know the best way for Google to beat this? But first they need to recognise it – we doubt they even know. Effecting a solution could start the first search world war. Consider the most blood curdling solution – Google developing their own browser. Could Microsoft ‘netscape’ it? Google have nearly as much money as Microsoft and so could fight them legally equally – but what would the famous Microsoft fighting with ‘time’ produce (as with Netscape)? Other solutions? Google could skew results locally when searching through this toolbar facility, so that effectively users would be seeing the same results as the google.co.uk or google.ca they should be using. Google could show nothing, no results at all for searches originating through this IE7 toolbar. Google could do what the other engines have done – show the same results for regional uses of .com as those searched for using google.co.uk (etc.), or redirect IP ranges to their regional engine.

Microsoft have skewed the results for searches outside the USA. It may seem minor, but companies in other countries don’t show up when searched for through the Microsoft utility – a solution is needed – wake up Google – work on this one.
