Microsoft offers new targeted marketing opportunities
Firms look set to receive greater internet marketing strategy opportunities as a result of the new partnership between Microsoft and Facebook, it has been revealed. Search engine marketing will be the driving force behind the extension of the relationship between the two firms. Microsoft has scrapped plans to introduce banner advertising on the social networking site and instead hopes to use contextual search engine marketing on the website. Satya Nadella, Microsoft's head of search, made the announcement at the company's analyst meeting earlier this week. She said: "We will be providing an API to Facebook where they will create a rich search experience for the Facebook users. "It will carry both our web results, as well as our page search advertising." The new deal is expected to be launched as early as this autumn and will replace Facebook's own search engine.

Firms neglect offline and internet marketing integration
Only around half of businesses integrate their internet marketing with offline communications, new research has shown. According to a study by iProspect and JupiterResearch LLC, businesses adopting search engine marketing are "ignoring" an opportunity to benefit from integration. Only 55 per cent of businesses complimented their online marketing with a reference in offline communications. Robert Murray, president of iProspect, explained: "Despite such a clear demonstration of the power of integrating search and offline channels, surprisingly, the strategy has yet to gain widespread adoption. "Unfortunately, by failing to integrate their efforts with offline, search marketers are essentially ignoring the very channels that drive users to search." A study by iProspects in 2007 indicated that two thirds (67 per cent) of search engine users are driven to online marketing as a result an offline channel trigger.

Five Proven Internet Marketing Techniques
It's way too easy to slide into the sand trap of Internet marketing and get stuck there with little or no results. I don't profess to be an online marketing guru, but I am learning from some of the more clever folks out there and putting their suggestions to use in my company's marketing endeavors. It's a trial-and-error process, but here are five strategies that have provided consistent results for me. 1. Offer an irresistible free gift. This is one of the best ways to build your potential customer list. You'll educate people about your value, provide them with helpful information, and begin to build a relationship. I prefer digital freebies such as PDFs, audio clips, and newsletters for an obvious reason: easy, timely fulfillment. However, sometimes I like to offer a physical gift, too, to mix it up.
