Long Tail Marketing Through Niche Marketing and Shareable Content

Developing online marketing that "sticks" around to create a long tail can be difficult for many businesses. We are in a fast paced society and those who use the Internet are accustomed to frantically looking at and discarding information. To have your marketing efforts reach the greatest amount of people over a longer period of time you should consider niche marketing and shareable content.

Focus on a Niche Market

Long-tail search-engine marketing works well in niche markets where customers become familiar with the brand (Ciurel, 2013). Where millions of search engine terms are used and large companies are paying for such terms to point to their site it is advantageous to focus your key terms in combination with your specific niche market.

Provide Shareable Content

Social media has taught us that long tail marketing requires some level of sticking power much like marketing residue that stays circulating around the Internet for a long time. For example in the music industry blogging and sample music clips create a longer tail because they are shareable (Dewan & Ramaprasad, 2012).  If you want your content to stick around blog, post pictures, video clips, sound bites, and other interesting information.

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
