&lt;p&gt;What types of marketing and advertising have you tried? How do you usually get customers to your site? Have you tried any forms of paid advertising or online marketing?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would love to give you some tips, just give me a little background as to what you are trying that isn&amp;#39;t working for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At http://base.google.com you can create an account that allows you to individually create or use an xml feed to place products in Google&amp;#39;s product search engine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not only do people agressively use the Google product search engine, if the search term is relevant enough Google will place certain Froogle results in the organic results and highlight them, usually at the top of the results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is extremely powerful!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Views on YouTube?</title><link>http://www.mysolutionspot.com/search-engine-marketing-seo-and-link-building/views-on-youtube-1959/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2009 05:15:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6570dea7-6e42-4a5c-9ac2-110f82e55fa2:2956</guid><dc:creator>Sian Simon</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.mysolutionspot.com/search-engine-marketing-seo-and-link-building/views-on-youtube-1959/</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.mysolutionspot.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=106&amp;PostID=2956</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi all,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does anyone know how YouTube counts views? Basically, do they count views:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Only from unique views on YouTube&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Include repeat views on YouTube&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;From embeds in other sites like Facebook&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;From downloads&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And do they cookie or look at IP address, or&amp;nbsp; tracking code for downloads, or something I&amp;#39;m missing??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m trying to figure out how they are counting some video views&amp;nbsp;and it isn&amp;#39;t making any sense to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thanks much!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 13,5 billion was spend on SEM last year despite sloppy economy. What surprises me the most is PPC advertising dominated the overall search marketing spend (88%) vs. SEO(11%).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is taken from my blog, which can be found at www.novelconceptstudio.com/blog&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;~So you have your web site up and running. You are happy with the way it 
looks, and have shown your friends, family and associates. However, you&amp;rsquo;re 
getting 3 hits a day and they are all from people directly entering in your URL. 
You go to google and type in your website&amp;rsquo;s name and nothing shows up. So you 
ask yourself, &amp;ldquo;What is the problem?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, one of the problems is you or your web developer did not submit your 
web site to search engines! This may take some time, but it will be worth it. At 
Novel Concept Studio, we have a search engine submission package which sends 
your site to 90 search engines. This comes as part of our internet marketing package.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most important search engines are the major ones like google, yahoo, msn, 
etc. However, you will want to submit your site to as many as possible as it 
will never hurt. Provided that you are on the major search engines, most of the 
smaller search engines will pick up on your site automatically.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On many search engines, you will be asked for a sitemap. The sitemap is 
important, because when search engines visit your website (aka crawling), they 
will need to know where to look. The Sitemap guides the search engines through 
your website. This is also how search engines know how to index your website. 
Meaning, they will understand the hierarchy of how your website is laid out. 
This helps to ensure your sites are properly displayed in search engines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are a developer, or had your web site developed it is important to ask 
your developer to incorporate the sitemap. If not, most marketing firms will 
also generate one for you. This also comes with our internet marketing package 
and is done with the site optimization process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have questions regarding the Search Engine submission process, feel 
free to contact us!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
