			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Adobe Photoshop Magic &#8211; Merge to HDR</h2>
<p>It is such a cool function in Adobe Photoshop CS4! Have you ever taken pictures and found that the quality is just <strong>not going to cut it</strong> but the shots are great? In a recent family birthday I was experimenting with my new camera. It was my Grandpa’s 87<sup>th</sup> birthday so I don’t need to tell you it will not happen again. I went ahead and shot a number of photos from this very happy day with a new camera.</p>
<p><a href="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image014.jpg"><img title="Original image" src="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image014.jpg" alt="" width="654" height="490" /></a></p>
<p><em>Original Image</em></p>
<p>In the example above is a great shot of my Grandpa on his 87<sup>th</sup>, I really wanted it brighter and more defined (quality was too dark). I also wanted to <strong>draw more attention to him</strong> and one of his favorite pastimes; fine wine drinking. Of course you can play with the simple settings in Adobe Photoshop like brightness, curves and levels but there is an easier way to enhance your images. You’ll need Adobe Photoshop CS to do it.</p>
<p><span id="more-1986"></span></p>
<p>It’s not for the weak! It is very CPU and hard drive intensive. Lots of CPU and ram is an asset for sure! In seconds you can transform a dull, dark and dreary image into total clarity. You can also make professional images take on a whole new look.</p>
<h2>Steps to Creating Your Own HDR Image</h2>
<p>1)      Make 3 exposures, Light, same, dark</p>
<p><a href="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image0022.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1988" title="3 Exposures" src="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image0022.jpg" alt="" width="629" height="256" /></a></p>
<p>2)      Open Photoshop, then go to your file menu&gt;automate&gt; merge to HDR.</p>
<p><a href="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image0042.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1989" title="Your file menu&gt;automate&gt; merge to HDR" src="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image0042.jpg" alt="" width="461" height="402" /></a></p>
<p>3)      Add Open Files</p>
<p><a href="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image006.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1990" title="Add Open Files" src="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image006.jpg" alt="" width="528" height="498" /></a></p>
<p>4)      When prompted add exposure levels you used in Step 1 to each image</p>
<p><a href="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image008.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1991" title="Add exposure levels you used in Step 1 to each image" src="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image008.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>5)      Convert to 8 bit and adjust image to desirable appearance</p>
<p><a href="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image010.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1992" title="Convert to 8 bit and adjust image " src="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image010.jpg" alt="" width="483" height="465" /></a></p>
<p>6)      Voila … your new image</p>
<p><a href="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image012.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1993" title="Your new image" src="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image012.jpg" alt="" width="654" height="490" /></a></p>
<p><em>After Merge to HDR</em></p>
<p>7)      Compare to Original image</p>
<p><a href="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image014.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1987" title="Original image" src="http://galearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/image014.jpg" alt="" width="654" height="490" /></a></p>
<p><em>Before Merge to HDR</em></p>
<h2>Happy Birthday Gramps</h2>
<p>Now you can see my Gramps better and that glass of wine is much more visible. You&#8217;ll also notice the details in the bottles and room background; again more clarity. The whole process took me less that 5 minutes!</p>
<p>With Adobe Photoshop your perfect photo that looks crappy can be enhanced in seconds. The example above is a simple explanation. I hope it helps you develop more cool ways to use Merge to HDR in Adobe Photoshop.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>John</p>

<h3>Creating Content for your Website</h3>
<p>People are becoming increasingly impatient on the web. With the abundance of information available, what makes you think <strong>people are going</strong> to <strong>stop and read your writing</strong>? There is definitely a knack for writing <a href="http://galearning.com/building-websites/website-content/writing-website-content/">content for the web</a>. It&#8217;s not like writing a paperback book, I like to think of it as &#8220;Power writing&#8221;. You have to be able to describe the idea in as <strong>few words as possible</strong>. Often include videos to help illustrate messages.</p>

<p><a href="http://galearning.com/building-websites/website-content/direct-response/http://galearning.com/building-websites/website-content/direct-response/">Proffessional direct response copywriters</a> are the highest paid. There&#8217; s a good reason why; their content sells. Direct marketing copy can be written for direct response mailers, social media, TV, radio and websites. Each media type uses slightly <strong>different techniques</strong> but the goal is the same &#8230; to get response.</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;Mr. Smith do you have a moment?&#8221; I asked </strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Tomorrow I have a trade show to conduct, on Monday I am doing a webinar, on Friday I will be public speaking in front of 20,000 people, would you like me to continue?&#8221; Replies Mr. Smith.</p>
<p>&#8220;How do you determine you agendas and <strong>topics you will discuss</strong>? Are you sure that you are truly covering <strong>what is most important</strong> to your audience?&#8221; I asked, only to learn that was Mr. Smith&#8217;s sore spot.

<p class="meta"><em>by Robert Kennedy</em></p>
</div>
<h3>Copy that Ranks, sells and Engages</h3>
<p>Organic or <a href="http://galearning.com/building-websites/website-content/organic-content-writing/">SEO content writers</a> tend to look more closely at on page elements and primary keywords. There are also off page ranking factors used in SEO content writing such as incoming links from article submissions. Writing copy that <strong>appeals to search engines</strong> must primarily be written for people. Small tweaks can be made to content that make a big difference in the way a search engine interprets its true meaning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Writing Web Site Content</strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/copywriting-tips_clip_image006.jpg" alt="" width="332" height="276" align="right" /></p>
<p>Writing content for a website requires an understanding of the marketplace and a trained sense for web readership. One common rule that can be applied to web content writing is <strong>keeping your message clear</strong>, simple, short and to the point. Most people that visit your website are scan readers and do <strong>not</strong> read all your content. They will look for the headings that represent their interest and read those paragraphs only. This is why there are many small techniques in writing content for the web that make a big difference. Here are a few rules I like to use with content created specifically for a web site.</p>
<ul>
<li class="redcheck"> Make page <a href="http://galearning.com/organic-optimization/google-seo-step1.php">headings</a> that stand out.</li>
<li class="redcheck"> Keep your main point placed in the browser title in the first 3-5 positions. Studies have shown  people that read result pages <strong>rarely go beyond the third word</strong> in the browser page title that search engines often display.</li>
<li class="redcheck"> Provide laser focused <a href="http://galearning.com/organic-optimization/google-seo-step2.php">interlinking</a> within the body content of every web page.</li>
<li class="redcheck"> <strong>Don’t make visitors hunt</strong> for the reason they came to your website.</li>
<li class="redcheck"> Use striking imagery to help make your point</li>
<li class="redcheck"> Submit unique content to popular article directory’s like ezinearticles.com</li>
<li class="redcheck"> Review your web analytic data on a regular basis focusing on <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/interface/Content.html#Topic53">top content reports</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-1976"></span></p>
<p>When you are writing for an audience on the web and want to convey a message of persuasiveness, use conflict and write resolutions to the conflict with a live cast of characters. This is especially effective if your characters portray common stereotypes within your writing topics.</p>
<h3><strong>Example</strong></h3>
<p><em>Here comes Johnny now. He is 15 minutes late for class with messy hair and shirt half tucked in. Within 15 minutes of his arrival students are distracted and playing games when they should be listening.</em></p>
<h2><strong> Writing Newsletter Tips</strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/copywriting-tips_clip_image008.jpg" alt="" width="309" height="233" align="right" /></p>
<p>Creating newsletter content that people are engaged with can include the use of powerful graphics, voting polls and bite size content blocks that lead to the full story. Present your content to your users in a warm, friendly way along with a <strong>good</strong> color scheme. Companies and corporations will often send out regular newsletters by e-mail. This is done to foster relationships with prospects and clients. In order for this to work most effectively the topics you send to your readers must be interesting to them. Hopefully your newsletter delivers an informative view that is stimulating to the reader and helps them solve some of the problems they face.</p>
<p>Opt in newsletters are one of the best ways to cement your bond with customers and prospects. Make sure your newsletter is contains newsworthy content or you may find a spike in your unsubscribed list. You can profile some of your nicest projects you have done for other clients in your newsletter, press releases,   sales sheet,  video, or  marketing manuals. Providing useful and informative content will keep your mail subscribers growing and current readers stimulated with the <strong>great business tips you provide</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong> Expand Business Marketing</strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/copywriting-tips_clip_image010.jpg" alt="" width="359" height="228" align="left" /></p>
<p>Writers that learn copyrighting and begin writing articles for business should have a <strong>clear understanding</strong> of the <strong>people they are writing for</strong>. Learning about a marketplace requires time and research that will uncover some of the paint points and tears people are crying in a given market place. By knowing this information you will be able to create powerful content and ad writing that sells. Marketing your business both online and offline can be effectively performed in your writing process for marketing and advertising. In 2010 Internet marketing is frontline and center for many businesses. Where do people go to find you? You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand that all buying cycles interact with the Internet. When someone is looking for your product it is often your content that makes or breaks the sale. Expanding your market can be done with full sales copy that helps people solve common, everyday problems.</p>
<h2><strong> Creating Killer Copy</strong></h2>
<p>Finding a writer that truly creates <strong>blockbuster website content</strong> may take a little work on your part but it is well worth it when you compare the difference of average copy versus killer copy. I have seen engaging content used that increased business up to 50% in a very short time by simply touching on pain points and showing a level of the <em>empathy</em> in your writing. Part of creating content that has value is using a few powerful words that everybody understands. The more you can say in fewer words, the more your readers will appreciate your writing style. If you are writing sales copy, become as well acquainted as possible with your targeted buyers prior to composing your content. That is how to write articles that knock your audience into your <a href="http://galearning.com/measurement-analysis/conversion-tracking.php">sales funnel</a>.</p>
<h2><strong> Search Engine Optimization</strong></h2>
<p>Professional online writing will help you rank better with search engines and bring more targeted visitors to your online business. Proper page formatting in your web copy will help marketing on the Internet become more successful by appealing to the human and search engine audience. If you encounter an experienced copywriter, writing step by step is a natural part of their <a href="http://galearning.com/building-websites/website-content/organic-content-writing/">SEO writing style</a>. Web copyrighting steps include a plan for the overall Internet marketing picture of each company. Engaging content strategically placed in the correct architecture will guide the visitor through your sales process the same way a search engine will move through it. If you can capture your visitor’s interest search engines will favor your website by acknowledging a higher engagement time with your content. Yes, engagement is a part of ranking.</p>
<h2><strong> Email Marketing Copy</strong></h2>
<p>Creative email copy that offers bonuses will <strong>naturally attract interested people</strong>. You can offer rewards programs promoting  affiliate products accompanied with a free bonus if your visitor accepts the offer. In e- mail correspondence you can offer a guide to be freely distributed, designed for enticing more subscribers to sign up for your newsletter. Email marketing campaigns can be measured and analyzed using <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/solutions/tagging_links.php">Google Analytics Manual Tags</a> to constantly improve the open and conversion rate. Many e- mail programs have measuring systems in place that allow you to see the open rate, bounce rate, and unsubscribe rate. The timing of your E- mail marketing message is also an important part of the success for each e- mail marketing campaign. Provide a <strong>strong call to action</strong> with an easy linking method to the <a href="http://galearning.com/pay-per-click/pay-per-click-keywords.php">landing page</a> design to convert your e-mail visitor to action. Become an innovative and strategic thinker when creating your e-mail content by <strong>studying the analytic data </strong>of previously sent e-mail campaigns.</p>
<p>I am convinced that the best copyrighting techniques are naturally acquired. First you need to understand who we are talking to then you need to tell them what you want to tell them, tell them again, and tell them what you just told them. Think about the huge number of offers on the Internet today. What makes yours different from all the others. What is your irresistible offer?</p>

<h2><strong> Copywriting &amp; Advertising</strong></h2>
<p><em>Look at s Symantec Keyword Structured Map</em>&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><img src="http://galearning.com/images/sem-ppc-keyword-market_clip_image002.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="434" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>Find your Sweetspot<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Advertising and content go hand in hand. When your professional sales staff is not able to speak to the prospect it is your content that must suffice. <a href="http://galearning.com/copywriting/copywriting-services.php">Good Copywriting</a> that is written for the sole purpose of advertising is often written by business professionals that are experienced. Experiences typically include &#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Background in  sales</li>
<li>Have a business degree</li>
<li>Understand buying and selling psychology</li>
<li>Journalism background and client relationships.</li>
<li>Selling your products with a clever design or sales page can be done very well with <a href="http://galearning.com/copywriting/direct-marketing-copywriting.php">direct response</a> techniques crafted into your advertising copy. It doesn’t matter what banner you want to put it under, writing copy the sells your products is all about sales &amp; your bottom line.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong> What Is Conversion Tracking?</strong></h2>
<p>When you are looking for a professional copywriter you may as well come right out with it and ask “ <a href="http://galearning.com/marketing-tips/tracking-print-mailings/install-gatc-for-print/">what is conversion <img src="http://galearning.com/images/logo-awcycle.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="95" align="left" />tracking</a>”? A professional writer should know that measuring the effectiveness of content is the <strong>key to improving</strong>. A good writer believes they can create the best content for you. It is not something a professional writer can determine, this is best determined by the way people interact with that content. To learn how interesting your content really is in the eyes of the reader, <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/interface/Visitors.html">web analytics software</a> will reveal the truth. If the <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/interface/Content.html#Topic56">landing page</a> is converting at a low rate it is important to understand why.</p>
<p>Not all content writers are experienced with conversion tracking software. With the amount of traffic that is on the Internet today, it is crucial that your web pages are measured against conversion. In my opinion any professional content writer should be well versed in tracking software such as Google website optimizer which will allow you to conduct <a href="http://galearning.com/optimized/ab-test-basics/">split testing or ab and multivariate testing</a>.</p>
<p>I hope this article has helped you understand more clearly what to look for when trying to <strong>locate a professional content writer</strong> for your business. When your business has a successful story to tell a professional copywriter will ensure this message is delivered to people that matter &#8211; in a structure that hits home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>How to Create Persuasive Copywriting </strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/copywriting-tips_clip_image008.jpg" alt="" width="309" height="233" align="right" /></p>
<p>If you own your own web site or your own a bricks and mortar retail location the power of persuasion <strong>speaks directly to your bottom line is sales</strong>. What you tell people verbally or in writing influences buying decisions, it&#8217;s that simple. Depending on your style and audience you are trying to reach, persuasive content architecture can be tailor made for any  campaigns.</p>
<p><span id="more-1968"></span></p>
<h2><strong> Business Advertising Goals in Content</strong></h2>
<p>Deciding on and documenting the <a href="http://galearning.com/marketing-tips/tracking-print-mailings/direct-mail-goals/">advertising goals of campaigns</a> will provide clear focus on what really matters to you. It will also make the task of analyzing how well you are reaching those goals much easier. There should be no mystery in <a href="http://galearning.com/marketing-tips/tracking-print-mailings/campaign-goals-tracking-print/"><strong>campaign objectives</strong></a>. List the features and benefits of your idea and tell people how it will help them in your content. Use strong headings, short-bite size paragraphs, and powerful bullet points &#8230;</p>
<h2>People Like Strong Headings</h2>
<p>Don&#8217;t you think small sentences and paragraphs are easier to read? Compose brief and meaningful bite sized chunks of information with plenty of white space.</p>
<ul>
<li>Bullet Points are also very easy on the eyes</li>
<li>Usually 3-5 high impact bullet points are a great arrangement</li>
<li>Use <strong>boldface</strong> for drawing more attention to persuasive keywords</li>
<li>Provide explicit <a href="http://galearning.com/organic-optimization/google-seo-step2.php">linking to content pages</a> in bullet points</li>
</ul>
<p>Make your content reach out and smack your visitor in the face with the <strong>power of persuasion</strong>. Touch on the human emotions experienced in making the right buying decisions. Create persuasive content that nudges a visitor through your <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/interface/Goals.html">goal funnel</a> because it will be handled with your experienced hands. Valid testimonials and comments made on your blog will also help new visitors &#8220;pick you&#8221; over all your competitors. Persuasive content writing is an investment that you will make and a property you own. It will help ensure the likelihood of your targeted traffic <a href="http://galearning.com/building-websites/website-conversion-101/">converting to action</a>&#8230;your goals.</p>
<h2><strong> What’s My Take?</strong></h2>
<p>As selfish as it sounds, inquiring minds <strong>don’t really care too much about you or your products</strong>. If you’re an experienced marketer that’s no news to you, right? That’s why you want to take extra care preparing your sales message that is all about what’s interesting to your visitor (What&#8217;s in it for me?). What can you do for them about how you will help them? How does your idea, product, or service help them? Get to the point and stop pussyfooting around, that’s what your visitor would tell you if they could. Let’s make sure we have our key messages front line &amp; center so your prospect doesn’t have to waste their valuable time looking for your offer.</p>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/messages.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="341" align="left" /></p>
<h2><strong> Writing Email Persuasively</strong></h2>
<p>Taking your writing to a new level in the e-mail starts with you addressing the specific points your <a href="http://galearning.com/copywriting/direct-marketing-copywriting.php">target audience</a> is concerned with. If you are replying to an e-mail, focus on the questions asked by the sender. Use their exact message and insert a different color of text with your reply.</p>
<h4><strong>Reply Example </strong></h4>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://galearning.com/images/analytics-blog_clip_image002.jpg" alt="" width="498" height="222" align="right" /></p>
<p>Before you begin to compose your e-mail content have a <strong>clear view of your objective</strong>. Make sure your request is simple and easy to understand. Create a short and meaningful subject line because it is the first thing the recipient will see.</p>
<p>Try to get inside their minds and touch on  specific pain points <strong>they are concerned with</strong>. Keep your focus on solving problems you know they are faced with. Finally, end your message with a motivational line of text that guides them to the next step.</p>
<p>Targeted opt in email marketing is also a great email marketing campaign solution that consistently converts at a very high level.</p>
<p>Remember to always <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/solutions/tagging_links.php">track email marketing </a>campaign results.</p>
<h2><strong> Design Principles</strong></h2>
<p>Whether it’s a brochure, <a href="http://galearning.com/optimizing-ga/direct-mail-tracking-intro/">direct mail piece,</a> calendar, newsletter, online advertisement or sales pages; how you organize graphics and text will influence the <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/interface/E-commerce.html#Topic86">conversion rate</a>. Speak directly to your reader with your graphic design by using <strong>a simplistic and holistic approach</strong>. Create your headlines and small text blocks with a descriptive image to help explain in each point you are trying to make. Every picture a thousand words! Make sure your design is created to entice some form of reaction from each reader. This reaction should lean in the direction of your sales funnel. Persuading people to do what you want usually means you have to touch them emotionally. Don’t be afraid to<strong> push a hot button issues</strong>. E.g. Expires tomorrow, bankruptcy, marriage problems.</p>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/website%20design_clip.jpg" alt="" width="387" height="348" align="left" /></p>
<p>If you possess the skills of written persuasion you can easily write books, get copyrighting jobs, and become a well known persuasion writer. Good interpersonal and communication skills are important ingredients in writing killer persuasive copyrighting. When you feel you have reached a new plateau in your persuasive abilities write and publish an autobiography so people that need your service can get to know you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Organic Copywriting</strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/organic-content-writing_clip_image002.jpg" alt="" width="298" height="176" align="right" /></p>
<p>In my circle of Internet marketing experts there is no doubt the need for SEO content writing is helpful for publishing content that ranks well in search engine indexes. This does not mean you specifically write your content for appealing to search engines alone. You must find a balance between creating engaging content and <a href="http://galearning.com/optimized/search-engines/keyword-sweetspot/">targeting keywords</a> strategically. Professional SEO copywriting services will create content structure and strategies that bring more targeted traffic to your web site.</p>
<p><span id="more-1964"></span></p>
<h2><strong> Behavioral Targeting Keyword Strategy</strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/organic-content-writing_clip_image004.jpg" alt="" width="272" height="213" align="left" /></p>
<p>It is true that all search engine marketing begins when a human being <a href="http://galearning.com/optimizing-ga/seo-transformation/">enters a phrase</a> into a search engine. At that very moment in time that person has a vision or picture in their mind of what they’re looking for. That is an important part of behavioral targeting to understand before you create a <a href="http://galearning.com/optimizing-ga/content-seo/">keyword strategy</a>. Once the key phrase has been entered, the mood has been set. Imagine if someone entered the phrase” what to do when I hate my sister”. Chances are this person is pretty angry at their sister for some reason. This would be a perfect opportunity to sell your guide on “how to love family members you hate”. You can target behaviors with your keyword strategy to improve <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/interface/Visitors.html">visitor experience</a>. Ultimately that will lead to higher trust resulting in better conversion and more confident spending levels. It is not difficult to spot patterns of data collected that directly reflect habits and <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/interface/Visitors.html#Topic23">actions that visitors take</a> while viewing your web pages. Choose your keywords wisely!</p>
<h2><strong> Web Design and Development</strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/organic-content-writing_clip_image006.jpg" alt="" width="365" height="241" align="right" /></p>
<p>With a sound keyword strategy in place it should be a cinch to figure out the best graphic design that will help you accomplish your <a href="http://galearning.com/optimizing-ga/your-internet-marketing-strategy-four-step-formula/">marketing initiatives</a>. The primary key words describing your website are strongly connected to the design you present. It should be a key part of your online marketing strategy to engage the services of a professional web design company that specializes in marketing and conversion design. The ideal time to implement <a href="http://galearning.com/organic-optimization/seo-strategy.php">a search engine optimization keyword strategy</a> is during the design and development phase. When all design elements are available to the web designer that understands search engine optimization…</p>
<ul>
<li class="redcheck">images can be tagged appropriately,</li>
<li class="redcheck">keywords can be utilized throughout the body text,</li>
<li class="redcheck">Meta tags can be constructed.</li>
<li class="redcheck">A complete SEO makeover can be easily implemented.</li>
</ul>
<p>Insist on a design that understands ranking and marketing designs that sell your business.</p>
<h2><strong> Driving Targeted Traffic to Your Site</strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/organic-content-writing_clip_image008.jpg" alt="" width="346" height="231" align="left" /></p>
<p><a href="http://galearning.com/organic-optimization/index.php">Organic search engine optimization</a>, <a href="http://galearning.com/pay-per-click/index.php">pay per click advertising</a> and <a href="http://galearning.com/tag/social-networking/">social networking</a> are primary ways to drive traffic to your website. This is one of the primary reasons you want to employ the skills of SEO copywriting services. It will help each page you display online rank for individual and important keywords. Natural search engine optimization will almost always be the lowest cost per action source of traffic. That is why many companies believe in spending money on <a href="http://galearning.com/website-usability/site-design-architecture.php">keyword research</a>, SEO copywriting services, and organic ranking specialists for driving targeted traffic to their web sites. When you have good search engine positioning and high search engine rankings you want to make sure that you engage your visitors or your top ten ranking will be short lived. Search engines have a way of measuring how engaged in each visitor is.</p>
<h2><strong> Using Web Metrics to Improve Online Marketing</strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/organic-content-writing_clip_image010.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="306" align="right" /></p>
<p>Did you know you can look at your paid search, incoming blog posts, organic search, social networks <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/interface/TrafficSources.html">traffic sources</a> in separate profiles using Google Analytics? All you need to do is apply simple little filters on each <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/installation/page9.php">profile you create</a> to include specified traffic sources. By focusing on these traffic sources in an isolated state you will be able to see behavioral patterns more clearly from each channel of traffic. For paid traffic campaigns use your analytic data to study behaviors on <a href="http://galearning.com/marketing-tips/tracking-print-mailings/measureprint-response/">landing pages</a>. There’s nothing worse than knowing that you are paying for visitors to leave your website. On the other hand there’s nothing better than software that helps you discover why people are <a href="http://galearning.com/google-analytics/interface/Goals.html#Topic81">leaving your website</a>. The most common web analytics software programs include Omniture, Google Analytics, WebSideStory, Urchin, and Core Metrics. The only one that is free is Google Analytics.</p>
<h2><strong> Organic Content Writing Factors </strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/organic-content-writing_clip_image012.jpg" alt="" width="309" height="424" align="left" /></p>
<p>Once upon a time link popularity was considered to be at the top of the search engine ranking list. Overtime, Google engineers have noticed that the webmaster community has been playing games with link popularity. The buying and selling of links to artificially inflate search engine rankings is strictly forbidden according to Google. If your SEO content writer suggests that you buy links, my advice is not to. All content prepared for your website should be 100% unique and not duplicate. Any search engine ranking specialist will strongly advise against duplicate content because it will result in triggering search engine spam filters that will prevent your page from ranking. Since SEO copyrighting is more about marketing and conversion multi variant testing with website optimizer to fine tune content sections like headings, images, and text blocks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Marketing Copy For Your Web Design</strong></h2>
<p>When you are creating the framework for the content that will appear on your website there are several formats you want to consider.</p>
<ul>
<li class="redcheck"> Long sales copy page <img src="http://galearning.com/images/wordpress-connections.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" align="right" /></li>
<li class="redcheck"> Short and powerful sales copy</li>
<li class="redcheck"> Educational web copy</li>
<li class="redcheck"> Self promotional content</li>
<li class="redcheck"> Persuasive architecture</li>
</ul>
<p>A <a href="http://galearning.com/building-websites/sensible-designing/">web site design</a> effectively created for all visitors will have <a href="http://galearning.com/building-websites/wesite-design-lesson/"><strong>distinct architecture</strong></a> designed to educate, allow for direct response, and provide technical information for visitors. Search bots such as GoogleBot seem to always find their way around easily. The structural integrity of your web pages ideally will appeal to the audience you are trying to reach and search engines that automatically crawl your website. Web copyrighting &amp; search engine marketing go hand in hand to make successful online marketing campaigns. Once your <a href="http://galearning.com/marketing-tips/dental-marketing/cosmetic-consultant/">marketing plan</a> has been devised much of your success lies in the hands of the copywriting skills possessed by your direct marketing copywriter.</p>
<p><span id="more-1960"></span></p>
<h2><strong> Creating Engaging Marketing Copy</strong></h2>
<p>What does a marketing copywriter do? Content that is created and presented to the right audience signifies a believable promise to the right people. In all likelihood your direct marketing campaign will quickly be assessed as highly successful because your copy writer has taken the time to <strong>understand the psychological state</strong> of the readers you are trying to communicate with. A marketing copywriter will understand buyer behavior as it relates to selling your services and building long-term <a href="http://galearning.com/social-networking/social-networking-case-study.php">relationships</a>. Understanding the mediums and varying demographics will also allow a marketing copywriter to zoom in on different stereotypes. It is not complicated ideas that will sell your product it is being short, sweet and to the point. The message you are trying to convey must be easily read and clearly stated, followed with an <strong>easy to digest irresisitable offer</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong> Improving With Traffic Analysis Software<img src="http://galearning.com/images/wordpress-content.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" align="right" /></strong></h2>
<p>The context, tone, and language should intimately connect with your reader. The same message presented to a nineteen year old female may not be as effective to a 74 year old senior citizen. How do you know when your message is hitting home and when it’s not? The answer will be found in <a href="http://galearning.com/optimizing-ga/ga-filter-uses/">analytic data</a>. Depending on the skills of a <a href="http://galearning.com/optimizing-ga/find-quality-website-analysis-2/">website analyst</a> your direct response marketing efforts can be measured individually on a campaign by campaign basis. This is executed by simply employing a <a href="http://galearning.com/robert/learning_pads/answers/tagging_links.php">manual tagging</a> method that will allow your analytic report data to be clearly tagged when viewing reports. This will give you a chance to see what combinations of content and target audience are most effective.</p>
<h2><strong> Relationship Marketing</strong></h2>
<p>Are the testimonials on your website believable? Once upon a time internet marketing experts believe that testimonial pages were convincing. When internet marketing is expertly employed testimonial pages always seen as believable. They are more believable when presented in video format with a <strong>verifiable</strong> link to the source. You want to shape your content appropriately so that you communicate the message of truly caring about the welfare of each a reader. Remember to build relationships people do not care about your product, they are more concerned with what your product can do for them. If you want to gain true insights into the way most marketing people think I encourage you to read a book by best- selling author Seth Godin “ <a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/all_marketers_are_liars/" target="_blank">all marketers are liars</a>”. The first step to building a relationship with the prospect or client is trust.</p>
<p>Whether it’s a <a href="http://galearning.com/marketing-tips/real-estate-marketing/traditional-marketing-real-estate/">business reply card</a> or paid search advertising, business to business direct marketing can be powerful or flat. The fate of your direct marketing campaigns is largely in the hands of the experienced copywriter creating your message. Most outstanding marketing copywriters I know are a part of a mastermind group that share ideas based on success and failure. Experience, psychology, and understanding a marketplace are critical components to affective pay per click banner advertising and other marketing campaigns. Do your homework and find a direct marketing copywriter that has a strong success history that you can verify. It will be one of the best investments you have ever made for increasing your client base.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Direct Marketing Copywriting</strong></h2>
<p>Copywriting for direct markets can include TV, radio, <a href="http://galearning.com/optimizing-ga/direct-mail-tracking-intro/">direct mail</a> or direct sales pages on your website. Quality direct marketing content can appeal in any medium. However, before you go and formulate your direct marketing message it is a good idea to look at historical trends and find letters or promotions that have resulted in successful campaigns. Then try to indentify the key points in the content that resulted in such a high return. The main message you are trying to communicate must strike the reader quickly and effectively. The first objective of your direct response copy is to engage the reader and entice interest. The ultimate goal of direct marketing copywriters is to have your audience act on the great offer.</p>
<h2><strong> Direct Response Offer<img src="http://galearning.com/images/organic-content-writing_clip_image004.jpg" alt="Direct Response Offer" width="272" height="213" align="right" /></strong></h2>
<p>Targeting your offer is one of the most challenging yet powerful ways of sparking interest or even closing a sale. It doesn’t matter how great your offer is, if you are presenting it to the wrong audience you’re doomed to fail. Remember, nobody cares about your product they care about what is does for them.</p>
<p><span id="more-1953"></span></p>
<p>For your target audience found in your list, website visitors or direct response mailers find a painful reality in their world. In other words you want to hit sore spots they can relate to and ultimately take action on your direct response offer.</p>
<p>E.g. Good headline for debt relief “Are you robbing from Paul to give to Peter?” Supporting graphics will engage and support your direct response tease line. Direct response copy can appear in print, web, TV, radio and as long as the offer is timely, supported with high quality content your odds to convert your audience to action are increased tremendously.</p>
<h2><strong> Social Media Direct Marketing<img src="http://galearning.com/images/root-images/facebook_files/image003.jpg" alt="" width="576" height="142" /></strong></h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Copywriting Planning</strong></h2>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://galearning.com/images/copywriting-tips_clip_image002.jpg" alt="" width="344" height="270" /></p>
<p>When you communicate with other people what delivers the <strong>most favorable response</strong>? Test your copywriting techniques with your peers, clients, and prospects to learn which technique yields the greatest result. A copywriter must research markets to know what questions to ask and what pain points to touch on. At the same time a good copy writer will do <a href="http://galearning.com/optimized/search-engines/keyword-sweetspot/">keyword research</a> to get a clear view of search volumes associated with the primary keywords that drive your content. Keywords and <a href="http://galearning.com/organic-optimization/google-seo-step2.php">interlinking </a>are key elements to ranking well for targeted keywords with search engines. Those two elements also provide your audience with the information they came to your website for. What are the best ways to make your point crystal clear in the <strong>shortest time</strong> through well written content?</p>
<p><span id="more-1948"></span></p>
<h2><strong> Think Sheet</strong></h2>
<p>For students and teachers that compose new content, having your own plan of attack will help deliver your message more clearly. What is your audience saying right now and how would a human process your project subject? Create your own think sheet that outlines the connection from your written articles to natural <a href="http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/cs6751_97_winter/Topics/human-cap/process.html" target="_blank">human thought processing</a>. Lay your content out with structured prompts and semantic mapping.</p>
<p><img src="http://galearning.com/images/copywriting-tips_clip_image004.jpg" alt="" width="593" height="401" /></p>
<h2>Topic Ideas</h2>
<p>If you are a student of writing there are many fascinating topics you can research while learning how to engage your readers. Why not start learning about topics related to weather such as hurricanes, precipitation, cloud types, tornadoes, and cyclones. You can also choose to write about restaurants and the different types of food they serve. Create a chart with nutritional values and explain important health topics around proper dieting. When you pre-write content you don’t need to worry about grammatical errors, correct punctuation, or proper spelling. Think of your first draft as the framework that will eventually become your content.</p>
<h3><strong> Example Think Sheet</strong></h3>
<p>How to Create a Think Sheet for Business</p>
<p>Name:</p>
<p><strong> Writing Subject: </strong></p>
<p>1. What is my purpose of this project?</p>
<p><em> List the purpose</em></p>
<p>2. What writing styles will be required?</p>
<ul>
<li class="redcheck">Direct Marketing Copywriting</li>
<li class="redcheck">Pay Per Click Advertising</li>
<li class="redcheck">Persuasive Copywriting</li>
<li class="redcheck">Professional Copywriter</li>
<li class="redcheck">SEO Copywriting</li>
<li class="redcheck">Web Copywriting</li>
</ul>
<p>3. How will you Target Your Prospect?</p>
<p>What ways will you use to get acquainted with your audience</p>
<p>4. What triggers apply that provoke thought and response?</p>
<p>In business writing knowing your goal for the content will help shape the message. E.g. dating &gt; romance &gt; lovemaking &gt; marriage &gt; family.</p>
<p><em>Try to map out your subject the way a human would.</em></p>
