Zunch Communications, Inc. Sets Up Shop on the West Coast: Film at 11

Zunch Communications, Inc. Sets Up Shop on the West Coast: Interactive Agency Expands into San Francisco Market with Massimo Burgio at the Lead

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 17, 2005 -- Zunch Communications, Inc. (http://www.zunch.com) announced today the opening of new branch in San Francisco to be managed by search engine marketing industry leader, Massimo Burgio. Burgio will serve as the Business Development Manager for the Zunch San Francisco office, located in downtown San Francisco across the street from the Yerba Buena Gardens.

Weve been wanting to set up shop in California for some time, said Zunch Chairman & CEO John Sanchez. When we had Massimo sign on, we knew that this was the perfect opportunity for us to open up in San Francisco. Massimo is very well thought of in our industry and hell be a great representative of Zunch both here and abroad.

Dallas-based Zunch Communications, Inc. opened a New York City location this past July and is looking forward to several other new locations opening internationally in the next year.

Weve been growing a lot lately, said Sanchez. But our main reason for doing so is to better serve our existing clients by having a Zunch office located closer to their places of business. We see this expansion as a service to our existing clients and those to come in the future.

Massimo Burgio served as the San Francisco Branch Manager for Ad Maiora, a leading European search engine marketing and online advertising agency, where for two years he oversaw the start-up of the companys new San Francisco locations. He is also an active member of the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO) and a frequent speaker at Search Engine Strategies events.

By opening up in San Francisco with Massimo in charge were better able to expand our client services on the West Coast, said Sanchez. And with Massimo in charge, were looking forward to expanding into San Francisco with a great leader.

Zunch today is one of the few search engine and interactive marketing agencies in the US with a serious commitment, and a ready-to-go structure, that can help its clients targeting International markets such as Europe, Asia and Latin America, said Massimo Burgio. The approach at Zunch is client-focused, search-centric, strategic and creative, so I think it will be fun to build business together. Also, it is an honor for a Latino like me to join one of the 10 fastest growing US-Hispanic owned companies in the States. With the San Francisco office we are now ready to provide Latino-targeted online marketing services to help businesses on the West Coast reach this important mundo de consumidores.

Born and raised in Italy, Burgio earned a BA in Marketing Communications in Italy from the University of Rome La Sapienza, with studies also in London, UK, and Oviedo, Spain, before he continued his post-graduate studies in Paris, France, and Berkeley, California. He has worked with the top creative interactive agencies in Italy, including Deepend and xister.com, and was involved in the start-up and marketing of Kataweb, Wind and RAI Net, some of Italys top Internet players.

New Location:
795 Folsom Street 1st Floor
San Francisco, California 94107

Editor's note: There is some speculation in the industry that the workload of any search marketing agency can be measured as inversely proportional to the number of press releases the agency issues. This is an extension of the old formula that measured the agency's workload by the quality, depth, and methods of site optimization for their own web site, which is also measured as inversely proportional. Research as to whether this concept also extends to link building, but early indications are that it does.

FeedShot Unleashes Blog Search Submission Service

FeedShot Unleashes Blog Search Submission Service

(PRWEB) October 3, 2005 -- FeedShot (http://www.feedshot.com) has released a beta version of its blog search submission service, currently submitting RSS and Atom feeds to 19 search engines and aggregators. The service is free and in beta, with plans for a production launch in late October.

"I was tired of telling my friends and colleagues to visit 50 blog search engines in order to submit their feed. I kept waiting for someone to release a submission service, but after searching for a few weeks decided to write my own." said FeatureCreep, the author of the FeedShot service.

"The response has been overwhelming." he noted, referencing the more than 25,000 outgoing submissions FeedShot has sent since it opened a week ago. "We're trying to stay on pace of adding 2-3 new search engines per week, and we've received a few addition requests from search engines themselves."

With a marketing effort consisting of "sending emails to the blogs I frequent," FeedShot hopes to continue its low-cost, grass roots marketing effort that makes it feasible for it to serve the blogging community. "If we had to pay for advertising it never would have happened. Bloggers have a lot of power these days."

In addition to increasing the number of sites it supports, FeedShot has thoughts of expanding into the pinging space, and to begin offering some type of premium submission services. When asked about the specifics of those services, FeatureCreep responded "Five days ago I had no idea FeedShot would be such a success. Needless to say, I'm still working on what's next."

FeedShot hosts a blog discussing the day-to-day struggles of running the FeedShot service, located at http://www.feedshot.com/blog/.

SEO

>I am very interested in what other I-searchers have found and
>follow re: char length in Meta description and optimizing "other"
>tags.
- Kelly Blazes, SearchReturn Digest #009

Up until last Spring, we used to use a large set of meta tags, about 50. We did this for many years and had very good results from all our client projects. We knew that many of the tags were just taking up space, but felt if they were being recognized that it would benefit the site, and thought we might be getting some benefit for "making the effort". Since we spent quite a bit of time on the tags and provided them with the appropriate data and not just a bunch of keyword phrases in all of them, we felt it was worth the effort. We also used to add the description as an HTML comment, since we had seen that it was often picked up instead of the decryption tag. These methods never hurt and seemed to help. Results for all projects we very positive so we never did any testing. We also use to spend time on a site's ALT tags.

Then last year I took a 1-page site of a client and as a favor optimized the page with only title tag, meta description tag, and keywords meta tag. I then started adding pages of content on a regular basis, all with just basic, simple optimization for what was on the page.

The results were startling.

This was a favor to a client, so we did no keyword research, and only optimized the tags quickly based on page content. In addition, this was not a "proper" site but only had information about the client's business on the home page. Still, about 6 months after the traffic had increased by many times, the client was actually contacted and secured a project from someone in California (We are in Minnesota). The reason I did this for free is that the client is my oldest one and he did not see the need for a web site, much less SEO. He now realizes what I've been talking about for the past 5-6 years and if he wasn't so busy with exiting clients, I'm sure he would have us to help him with a proper site & submission of the site. We only put up about 6 links to the site and submitted to maybe 15 search engines and directories, a far cry from the 180 that we normally do.

As a result of this experiment, we now only use those 3 tags in our optimization, and do not optimize H tags or other things that you hear people talk about. They may help, but they also increase the time/cost and until what we do stops working, we won't be making things more complex.

For tag lengths, we have changed what we use a little:

Title tag: Up to 85 characters max, but some do go over without noticeable harm. I like at least 60 and generally use 70 chars.

Description: We use to always use as close to the 255 character limit, but we are seeing more and more sites limit this to about 150 with some at 200 and some at 100 chars. We try to craft the description so that if it is cut off at those points, it will still look and read well. We may standardize on 150 since it's a bit of work to match those cutoff points.

Keywords tags: Not very important, but if you use common sense, it may help. We used to have a 1,000 character limit, but now try to keep it down to about 400-600 chars. If you are going to use keyword phrases, use commas to separate them. We use to really fill this up with many variations of what was on the page as well as things not on the page. This was limited to words that meant the same, but different spellings and different combinations of what was on the page. Now it's less work just picking things from our keyword results that are about the same as what is on the page.

We use as many scored keyword phrases as possible in titles and descriptions, tempered with use of good English and advertising copy.

Thank you,
Chris Nielsen

Warning: Beware of installing "Secure Service Pack" on your computer

Warning: Beware of installing "Secure Service Pack" on your computer

Unless you know and understand what the "Secure Service Pack" actually consists of, we strongly recommend against installing it or anything that may popup and ask for permission from you to install it. Just because you have some trust in the site you are visiting does not mean you need or want what is being offered. If you are concerned about the security of your computer, only install things from the manufacturer's site, or the creator of your computer's operating system.

By the time you read this, "Secure Service Pack" may be called something else, so don't be fooled. Our understanding of this item is that it installs software that changes how your browser functions and you may or may not like what it does. You may be able to un-install it once you realize it's there, but do you want to trust something that will not even tell you what it is?

"Secure Service Pack" sounds like it's a Microsoft Service Pack that will upgrade your software, but in fact the software is designed to deliver advertisements in the form of web sites that you may be interested in. Part of the "benefit" of this software is to let you just type in keywords and not URLs to find sites. What they don't tell you is that they only sites they show you are paid advertisements and may or may not be what you are looking for, and might not even be a good site if they do have what you are looking for. It's the same old "Keyword browsing" scam that has been around for years. It's pure crap and should be avoided at all costs. Seriously!

I have seen at least one page that has a number of browser plug-ins and says " This page contains links to the Windows Authenticode family of plugins for Internet Explorer". If you want to upgrade your Internet Explorer, go to the Microsoft site and make sure you are getting the real deal.

Again, if you don't know for sure what you are installing, don't just trust the name of the application that you see, since it could be a trick and your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs WILL NOT PROTECT YOU OR WARN YOU!!

Pixels By The Dozen Is New(almost) Form of Online Advertising

Pixels By The Dozen Is New Form of Online Advertising

(PRWEB) October 1, 2005 -- Pixels Buy the Dozen (http://www.pixelsbuythedozen.com) is the latest innovation in online advertising. The homepage is a grid of 10,292 squares, each square being 12x12 pixels. Companies purchase pixels for $.50 each to display their advertisement or logo. The minimum ad space is a 12x12 pixel square and there is no set maximum. Customers are able to pick their ads placement on a first come, first serve basis.

An interesting feature of the site is that when a visitor hovers over an ad with their mouse, a 144x144 ad is displayed for the advertiser. There is a Featured Pixels area showing links for their advertisers in a rotation based on the number of pixel squares they have purchased. They also have the Latest Pixels, showing the last 3 companies that have purchased pixel space.

Said site creator Lee Dodd, " This approach capitalizes on the 'novelty and buzz' aspect of the web. Once the homepage is 100% sold out that's it. No more space. Of course, the page will be quite a site to see as it fills up, and that's the goal. Fill it up, generate some donations, and then who knows where it will lead..."

The company, Pixels Buy the Dozen, is based in East Texas and with the recent impact of Hurricane Rita, they are donating 10% of the site's revenue to the Salvation Army Hurricane Relief Fund. The site's owner, Lee Dodd, also shared that he is offering registered non-profit organizations a pixel square ad spot at no charge.
