Astronomers Hope To See Outer-space Fireworks This July 4th. Site Owners Might Be Watching Frozen Hit Counters.

After 172 days and 268 million miles of deep space stalking, NASA's Deep Impact successfully struck comet Tempel 1. The cosmic collision between the coffee table-sized impactor and city-sized comet occurred at 1:52 a.m. EDT.

"What a smashing success for the 4th of July!"

And you're asking, "Is this the blog I was meaning to read?" Yes, this is a blog about improving your business by better implementing your online marketing campaign for Aerus Electrolux Vacuums. The bottom line goal is to get quality destination page "hits"... not a hit like Comet Tempel 1, but a hit none-the-less from a targeted visitor.

Why all the meteor talk you ask? Well the truth is, I found this news story fascinating (as did thousands of other people would agree) and felt it was rather topical for this special occasion.

It just so happens that being "topical" and relating what you do with Aerus Electrolux Vacuums to news and current events is also an astronomically successful (if done right) marketing strategy. Millions of people are on the net today, tomorrow, and at all times, seeking news or details about all sorts of current events. If you're writing about that event or news item, you can increase the odds that searchers will find you. If what you do (or what you market) is related in some way, then like a toad on a hot road, you'll see your results leap to much higher levels.

The kind of hits a savvy marketeer can achieve by riding on the comet tail of current events and news stories can be as spectacular as one might imagine. The impact on your business can be equally stellar.

In my last blog post we started our series of PPC search engine tips that can help your campaign for better targeted earthbound visitors. Below are this weeks PPC tips (watch for more next week):

Pay per click tips for this week:

• Expand your keywords by asking your spouse, friends, neighbors, relatives, existing customers and strangers to look at your web page and offer their keyword suggestions. In this phase you cannot have too many cooks in the kitchen.
• Put your biscuits in the oven and watch'em rise... That is, use web based 'keyword expanders' and research tools to expand your keywords beyond what you can come up with on your own.
• Remember, searchers may type in something that describes your product, but more often than not they will be typing in words describing their problem. If your product or service solves, fixes, heals, masks or even distracts them from their problem, you want those keywords on your list.
• "In-house" keywords (those used frequently by others in your industry or business) are often the most costly because lazy business owners don't often think beyond their own nose. The result is these limited keywords get bided-up sky high. Customers on the other hand seldom search using "in-house" keywords. Your goal is to find keyword niches popular with customers but less popular with your competition.

Last week I posted the first round of search engine marketing tips. Check there for more ideas.

Hubble's View of Deep Impact (Universe Today)
The powerful Hubble Space Telescope was on hand to watch the collision between Deep Impact and Comet Tempel 1. Even though Hubble is one of the most sensitive telescopes available, the shroud of dust and gas surrounding Tempel 1 obscures a view of the comet's nucleus. Hubble was able to see the flash from the impact, making the comet 4 times as bright, and then an expanding fan of debris moving
