Seduction or Marketing?
Posted by Claudiu Geanta in Marketing Strategies on November 1, 2009
The world is full of descriptions and attempts to mold the definition of marketing, but so far I haven’t found a clear characterization of this escaping concept we face every day.

Launch a new product and do whatever necessary to make the market react positive about it and you delivered yet another marketing punch.

SEO Top 10
You can do a lot of things that require effort and time in order to optimize your website or blog. Of course, you can always leave all this effort and time, for a cost, to specialized companies that do this for a living. They are called SEO companies.

They are the ones who attempt to unfairly manipulate search engines results, only for a short lived high ranking position for your company.

Social Media icons
Everyone is using social media now and not simply for social reasons, in fact it now accounts for almost 10 percent of Internet time. Social media is gaining more acceptance in both the business world — both as a tool to connect with customers and for co-workers to connect with each other.
