[2/4/2008 SteppersUSA News] Branding Stepping By Markie Bee In part two of the discussion of Branding Stepping, I am continuing the explanation of the importance of a steppers website, and it's role in branding. This article deals with the cursory information which I have compiled through experience and the various Search Engine Optimization (SEO) courses I have taken through the years. It is by no means a source for all things related to branding, or web sites. I feel each web site has it's individual strengths and weaknesses and there is no single answer for all. Like most of my columns, it's based on my take on things. My goal in this column is to help steppers expand their range of influence in the larger arena. Knowledge is power. Optimizing your web site for the search engines is important in one respect. It's how people on the web find your site. It doesn't matter how usable, or how pretty your site is if new visitors can't find it. The actual content on your website is extremely important (Great marketers find lots of ways to spread their message beyond using just the web). If your website is less than two years old it's a matter of education and information sharing which should be the priority to establish your site as an "authority" site (presenting content that's good for your visitors, not marketing fluff that pounds your...

[2/3/2008 SteppersUSA News] Branding Stepping By Markie Bee I've talked about product branding at length in this column before. But I wonder how good the branding really is outside the Steppers community. It looks like many people have taken much of what I've had to say to heart inside the steppers community. There appears to be a heightened awareness on the part of steppers as to who does what and when. Hopefully SteppersUSA has had a hand in that effect. Certain promoters and artist representatives from outside the steppers community see this growing audience and are actively marketing to us. Let's take You Tube and Google advertising for example. The reason I chose these particular web advertising giants is multi-fold... I've used them in examples before, and the results are easy to illustrate. If you are the average visitor (who isn't part of the steppers community) to Google and you do a search for things to do in (insert your city), and see if stepping comes up in the first five pages of results. Try it! Just go... To continue reading Click Here ChiSteppers 2007 Peoples Choice Awards ballot page Click Here to vote The new steppers cartoon feature is right here take a look!
