American Express Cardholders Get Free Twitter Advertising
Yes, it sounds weird, but it is also true. American Express just made a deal with Twitter to help them launch their own self-serve ad network very similar to Google Adwords. If you have an American Express card, you can get $100 in free Twitter advertising. They are only doing this for the first 10,000 to register so that means you had better go get your free Twitter money fast, because there will be plenty of others looking for free advertising dollars too!

Twitter VS Google?
It seems that even though it took the guys at Twitter years to figure out how to monetize their traffic, they may still have a few tricks up their sleeves. They have been playing with an income strategy, mainly their promoted tweets platform, but now they are ready to take their marketing to the next level and offer completely self serving advertising to those businesses who are interested in an extra social push from the 140 character giant known as Twitter. This may be the first real competition in the digital advertising space that Google has come across since Facebook rolled out their own advertising platform. Only time will tell how popular and how effective this type of marketing will be for the Twitters pocket book and those utilizing the service.
If you grab some free Twitter money, please comment below to let others know that it is still working and don’t forget to tell your friends and colleagues where you heard about it!

Don’t Confuse Online Marketing With Link Building
It seems like many internet marketers are confusing the specific link building process used to gain attention from search engines with true online marketing. There is a huge difference between these two methods of getting favorable results from new traffic and conversions on your online business web site. Both are integral parts of building a successful online business and growing your brand and exposure on the world wide web.
If you are interested in marketing, then you would be more likely to build a strategy to get your name in front of viewers that would not otherwise see it. The first thing that comes to mind to most, is social. This space is still growing and does largely trump many aspects of link building for traffic. Other methods may include variation of viral marketing that would allow you to offer free information in exchange for an email address or even better, true viral content that can be freely distributed by people using social!
There are many powerful digital marketing companies that can really help you put some strong concepts and techniques behind your own approach to digital marketing and if you use your own efforts in combination you can really explode your online presence in a short amount of time. It is important to investigate all marketing, link building and social media options that your business can benefit from to make sure that you are getting the most out of every launch or campaign you are working with too.
Exploring new methods of brand building can open up new doors for you online business, so make sure whatever you do, you do not get stuck in the rut or “comfort zone” of you current promotions. The only way to grow is to change and measure your results along the way!
One Last Hurrah For Picnik Photo Editor
Well, the awesomeness of Picnik is not dead, but I must admit that I kind of feel like google has crushed another great only service by goggling them up. The Picnik service, for those who are not familiar with it, was a very fast loading and easy to use online image editing tool that would allow you to re-size, crop and even perform some rather cool effects on pictures right from your web browser. I have been personally using this site ever since Google shipped me a CR 48 laptop last year and fell in love with its simplicity and ease of use on an all web laptop.
Google Swallows Another Cool Web App
For those that have been playing around with the new Google ChromeBooks you already know that they integrated the basic features from Picnik right into the OS. If you open an image from your file manager you will be able to choose the “edit” button at the bottom right to see what I am talking about. Other Google users will see the Picnik image editing features
Picnik Is Refunding All Existing Paying Members Money
Just a little more proof that Google has no need for more money, but a very nice gesture all the same. You will be getting a full refund from Picnik very soon if you are currently a paying customer. Even if you are on the last day of your 1 year subscription they say you will still receive a full refund just to say thanks (or I’m sorry) not really sure which..
The Good News – Free Premium For Everyone
So if you have paid for the premium service on the Picnik photo editing site or not, you are going to be able to to use the premium service for free until the site officially closes on the 19
of April 2012. This means you can start adding all those cool photo masks you wanted for free!
I am definitely sorry to see this site go, but we will still be able to access many of Picnik’s great features right inside of the photos section on Google+ so don’t worry its not gone for ever, just moving over to a new online home.
The integration into the photo sharing on Google+ is just one more of the reasons that I am starting to prefer this social network over the old blue one 
and I am sure that there are many more cool updates to come soon enough.

Read MoreOnline Marketing Value VS Traditional Marketing
When it comes to marketing on the internet there are many reasons that a person that is very used to marketing with traditional advertising get weary.
After all the practices that have been used in marketing for the past 100 years still produce sales and they can be effective marketing and branding opportunities for most businesses.
So why is everybody so interested in getting their online marketing strategies up to snuff?
The reason is that online marketing is traceable, affordable and results driven in ways that traditional media can never offer.
There are many different angles to any marketing strategy and the fact that the amount of consumers that buy online has shifted in recent years has really changed everything. In fact, there are now over 2 Billion people with smart phones that now have internet access, so the online buying, advertising and marketing opportunities have simply exploded in recent years and if you do not use a online marketing as part of your overall branding and business marketing strategy you are simply missing out on a huge sector of the market that is buying from somebody.
Huge Value Of Online Marketing VS Traditional Marketing
This is something that I have spent a considerable amount of time pondering, when it really comes down to one simple concept. If you are going to purchase advertising in a newspaper, magazine or on television or even a billboard (there is nothing wrong with these marketing strategies), but the longevity of your message is limited until your dollars run out. Much like PPC (pay per click) advertising online, these methods are only effective while you continue to pay. On the other hand, if you invest in a strong SEO campaign, the traffic, sales and effectiveness for this type of marketing can last for years after you stop paying for the marketing services.
There are cases where SEO needs some maintenance to keep your rankings up, but many times once you get stuck on the first page of Google this can last for a long time and bring huge amounts of customers and clients to your front door free of charge.
Social Marketing Reaches New Customers Automatically
This is more than just a buzz word in the internet marketing industry; it is a powerful business tool that truly is a force to be reckoned with. Utilizing the power of the social nature of many of the web’s most popular digital destinations does more than get a quality link back to your web site, it allows people to naturally spread the word about your product using word of mouth.
This is huge!
Using sites like FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube and Google+ you can put out product release information and allow the masses to further distribute your message via shares, likes and mentions. These little boosts can add up to a huge amount of free “word of mouth” marketing that is hard to produce by other media standards without a huge budget.
Mobile Marketing Has Exploded
So, I will start off with a few figures to let everyone understand how big mobile marketing really is. There are currently over 5 Billion mobile users, over 60% of them own smart phones. This sixty percent has access to the internet 24 hours a day and wherever they are.
Now, with that in mind, this means that mobile ads, localized content and other forms of targeted marketing are viable using mobile advertising where traditional media advertising simply cannot even compare. If you own a local “brick and mortar” store, you can do some localized marketing by putting out sign in front of your business, but what if somebody just searched Google for a dry cleaner near them? These types of searches automatically display relevant local businesses, but if you are not listed correctly, your competitor could be getting this walk by business from you.
Can you imagine getting traffic from somebody who has never visited your store before and is from out of town simply because you got your site listed in local search and your mobile web page showed them how to get there? This really is happening for many businesses already and can happen for you too. Mobile marketing can be easier than you think; simply getting listed on Google places will give you a strong start.
Are There Businesses That It Is More Effective To Market Offline?
Of course, there are always exceptions to the rules, but in most every case, if you are currently running successful offline marketing campaigns; they can be complemented by online efforts. If your business markets directly to farmers in India, you may find a market online, but most likely these “odd” types of “clients” or “niches” are not going to be a perfect target for online marketing. With this in mind, there is still a lot of value in traditional marketing, but this is only true for a very very small percentage of businesses in the world.
If you find yourself still wondering if online marketing is right for your business then the good news is that it is very cheap to find out. Unlike spending a huge amount of cash for a television advertisement or a billboard ad, when you look at online advertising you will find that you can use huge budgets, but this is not necessary. With online marketing you can run inexpensive marketing tests before you allocate large amounts of funds for advertising and in many cases this is great to find powerful marketing niches that have yet to be tapped.
