Inline Marketing case study: apple strategies

..been checking all over web for several years now and i can describe these marketing strategies:


make buzz and put your brand in it
there were plenty of jokes around about ipods used in ancient egipt and stuff on weblogs. most of these were sposored by apple, many blogs that retweet posts got $$ & free gadgets (& links?)

build interesting hardware
many ipod extensions were seen, probably less were bought

(and then throw your gadget into swimming pool and show it still working on youtube)

pay campers that wait in front of shop for a new product, they are cheap, really.

apple is all show, their products are more design than tech, and they spend tons of $$$ on marketing

to see apple logo on back of laptop you don't even need know to read any language

beautiful shops
they are like museums actually

Website planning for enterprise/business

make plan for website:

this information is for people who intend to make a website, so that they can get prepared BEFORE going to website designers. And for designer who get costumers =)


Planing website:

Define your online objectives

Defining your target market and developing your Web site and
online marketing strategy with them in mind

Can everybody be your costumer or your look for niche costumers?

Developing the Internet marketing strategy that is appropriate
for your product or service.



There are tons of people who just want to have their website because "everyone has it" and just forget about internet marketing&seo

you'll get your visitor via search engines, links (your business partners), direct traffic (people who know your site)
to present website to your off-internet costumers you can use business cards, flyers, posters, tv comercials, etc.

that's pitty if they offer non unique services and have lot's of similar pages online. there shall be war for visitors:)



So you want to?
advertise your product
sell your product
provide costumer service and support
providing product or company information
branding and making company identity

Web advertising for publishers

this blog recieved 0.77€ at first 9 day of december ater running for a year.. That's same amount it recieved all time before 9 december. Acutaly click on ad on Control Room Temperature with Computer Script (article worth studying but recieving little traffic) get that whole 1$!
anyway most read article has 700 vistis/month is msn
letters and symbols usable in nicknames




Website advertising for publishers




keyfeatures of earning website:
apropiate ads (format, size, )
get traffic inside
adwords words that are important and are in your text
content


more ads should mean more clicks and rvegnue (3 ads are max on adsense so go for it)
bannerblindness- people remember ads size so don't use size other sites are using
position ads next to page navigation
hide ads -blend em in (hide border, match ads to your content match url to ads text)
ads should be exactly the same as content on page


Do not stick just to ads, have different plan.. Amazon items are popular these day, but you can sell your own product on website..
Sites like clickbaks have some affiliate programs, more clicks you get more $$$ you get (you don't need website.. haven't tryed these marketing things)


seems like recesion didn't have much effect on internet advertising, maybe because internet generated recession


Social networks use for advertise

One can use twetter to generate more traffic on website.. (people just record videos on youtube&audiobooks with text to speech programs)


not allowed to steal identity: you can be president of Usa until people understand it's saturized.

Use linux boot cd to backup hard drive partition

Clone Hard Drive or Partition to an image file easily

REQUREMENTS:
linux live cd!
place to store image file (enough to store partition or whole disk)



BACKUP

1. Just boot with a linux live CD, if you lack of a CD-ROM Drive, then you can create a USB bootable stick with a linux image and boot from it.
2. Mount you external storage, for instance mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/images. NOTE: just the destination drive have to be mounted, not the source drive.
3. Once you are running the Linux OS, if you found that your hard drive is /dev/sda for instance, then run:
#dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/images/disksda.img
#cd /media/images/
#bzip2 disksda.img <- if you want to compress it.
Now if you want is to create a image just from a partition then change the if=/dev/sda by if=/dev/sdaX, where X is the number of the partition, for instance:
#dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/images/disksda1.img
#cd /media/images
#bzip2 disksda1.img
Sometimes we want to move this image directly to other remote host with linux and ssh running on it and a user called "user", the we can do this:
#dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/stdout bs=1M | bzip2 | ssh user@IPofRemoteHost "cat - > disksda.img.bz2"
this read the /dev/sda hard drive, the send this data to the standar output and compress it in the RAM, take the standart ouptut compressed and using the ssh write it in the remote host in a file called disksda.img.bz2

RESTORE

1. Just boot with a linux live CD, if you lack of a CD-ROM Drive, thenyou can create a USB bootable stick with a linux image and boot from it.
2. Mount you external storage, for instance mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/images. NOTE: just the source drive have to be mounted, not the destination drive.
3. Once you are running the Linux OS, found your hard drive name and restore on it, for instance /dev/sda.

to restore from the remote host do this:
#ssh user@remotehost "cat - > disksda.img.bz2" | bzip2 -dc | dd if=/dev/stdin of=/dev/sda bs=1M
to restore from the external storage:
#dd if=/media/images/disksda.img of=/dev/sda
or to restore the partiton image doing:
#dd if=/media/images/disksda1.img of=/dev/sda1
remember to uncommpress the bzip2 file first if it is compressed.

Sometimes the first hard drive is called /dev/sda, sometimes /dev/hda thats why you have to check how the linux call your hard drive.
To clone a hard drive into a second one, just us of=/dev/sdb or whatever the name of the second drive is, without mount any drive.
Partition table is created, MBR is created, but the external drive in size have to be equal or bigger than the drive to be copied.
If you have a question about it, please first read this:

Puppy linux in chameleon mode will boot of USB on any Computer

Puppy distribution boots off cd-rom. It's one of the fastest linux distros. It weights 40 mb and it is fully loaded in ram. Apart from ubuntu it plays mp3s by default (for wine emulator there is knopixx)


Puppy can make good use of your drives. It can use NTFS drive space on hard or USB drive for faster boot, or it can be installed (need to make linux partition)

However not all new computers support usb boot, but when using chameleon mode puppy linux boots of usb, but appear to computer as floppy drive, cd rom so you can boot on computers that don't support usb boot
besides you can get usb stick for free these days
