A way for companies to get the Internet marketing qualified employees inside their companies rather than overpaying for 80% of the outsourced services companies should now be handling internally. Houston Community College recently accounted the HCC Internet Marketing Trained Professional (IMPT) Certificate Program. It is a six-course curriculum focusing on search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, social media marketing, online public relations, website analytics, and Internet traffic conversion.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;">The IMTP was designed for employers needing a better way to screen applicants, employees wanting to enhance their value to their organization, and job applicants wanting to stand out in the crowd! Beginning September 2010, HCC will offer a new course every other month. Each coarse will involve numerous local experts covering the best practices, tips, tricks, and tools best suited for each area. To earn the certificate, participants must successfully complete six required courses. Students not pursuing the certificate program are welcome to take as many individual courses as they wish.  For more information, visit the <a title="Register for the Internet Marketing Trained Professionals program at HCC" href="http://www.houstoninternetmarketing.com/courses/hccs-imtp-program/" target="_self">IMTP page</a>.</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing Forward Marketing shares with our clients (with a smile on our faces) is that &#8220;what you say on your site doesn&#8217;t matter!&#8221; The logic behind this statement is the fact that 30% of how your site is ranked in search engines such as Bing and Google <em>is</em> based on what your site <em>says</em>, but the other <a title="Social Media Marketing = Links = Search Engine Ranking Success!" href="http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors" target="_blank">70%</a> is based on <em><a title="Why businesses should build links, quickly" href="http://searchenginewatch.com/3640304" target="_blank">the quantity and quality of links</a></em> back to your site! This statistic underscores the fact that a B2B search engine marketing campaign that ignores the social media marketing component of one&#8217;s Internet marketing efforts is doomed to fail.</p>
<p>Now the other statement we like to make that &#8220;what you say on your site is <em>everything</em>, because no one will link to your site unless it is<a title="Search Engines want relevancy, recency, and uniqueness" href="http://www.linkdiary.com/importance-of-link-building.php" target="_blank"> recent, relevant, and uniquely</a> appealing to their area of interest.&#8221; So, yes it does matter what you say on your site, but the link building analytics, competitive reports, and directory listing activities that go into link building are even more important. That is why social media marketing &#8212; when properly used by companies and employees for relevant and measurable B2B goals &#8211; is where the real progress is gained or lost.</p>
<p>So the next time  your CEO says that things like Twitter, Google Buzz, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, Picasa, Vimeo, YouTube and the rest are a waste of time &#8230; ask him why he is willing to fund only 30% of the picture (which costs the most) when the other 70% are free, measurable from an ROI perspective, and require little to no employee training. In other words, if your CEO isn&#8217;t Twittering, your lagging <a title="Using Social Media Marketing for search engine ranking success" href="http://goo.gl/QPNx" target="_blank">search engine rankings</a> are all his fault!</p>
