Just like Burger Kind had it’s subservient chicken, Tipp-Ex has developed an interactive YouTube video allowing the user to select the bears fate. This video asks you if you want to shoot to bear or not, and then using the Tipp-EX, erases the video headline allowing you to input your own text of what should happen. Go through and have some fun. See what the hunter will do for you!

As a new player at Ten Golden Rules, part of my role will be to help our clients develop sound interactive marketing plans that will have a positive impact on their bottom line sales goals. This philosophy is ingrained into the very fiber of the Ten Golden Rules team. We strategize, test, execute and measure our programs every single day. But how does this methodology apply to our B2B clientele? Traditionally, you might think that B2B marketing innovation has always lagged behind its B2C counterparts. Not so anymore.
Beyond the catchy music and clever design, what I love about this video are the statistics.
81% of B2B companies maintain a company account or profile on social media vs. 67% of B2C companies
75% of B2B companies micro-blog vs. 49% of B2C companies
As the video suggests, no longer are the B2B marketers lagging behind their B2C cohorts. In some cases, they’re even leading the charge. We’ve seen the onset of the new digital C-Suite who not only enjoy using technology, they embrace it. And with 93% of B2B buyers starting the purchase cycle via search, doesn’t it make sense for your company to be searchable no matter what your business?

This week I thought it would be helpful to go back to the basics of Twitter ReTweeting. Want to get your tweets retweeted more often? Below are ten tips for just that:
1. Interesting/Entertaining. Tweets with a bit of humor or color to them always have a higher probability of being retweeted. No one wants to spread boring tweets to their followers.
2. Educational. Provide timely and valuable content.
3. Engaging. Be authentic with your community and connect with them. Be social and show that you aren’t just a program with scheduled tweets.
4. Ask for the RT. Sometimes simply asking for the retweet, “Pls RT”, does the trick.
5. Short Tweets. Leave around 25 characters of space in your tweets. Tweets are more likely to be retweeted when it takes less editing to do so.
6. Thank you. Ensure you thank those who do RT your tweets. That sincere thank you might gain those additional retweets. However a note of caution, do not thank others for RTs just for the possibility of a future retweet, be genuine.
7. Useful. Provide information to others that is helpful such as “how tos”, “tips” and “lists”.
8. URL Shorteners. Using services such as bit.ly provides additional tweet real estate as opposed to including full URLs.
9. Social Plugins. Make it easy for others to retweet your content by conveniently placing “retweet” calls to action on your posts.
10. When you tweet. Social Media Scientist, Dan Zarrella, has conducted studies showing the days of the week/times with a higher probability of RT worthiness. Zarrella concluded Fridays yield the highest number of retweets between 3:00pm to midnight.
The above list is not advocating all tweets be designed for retweeting. But for the tweets that you do want to have a viral component to them, designing for the possibility of retweeting is important.
Do you have your own retweet tips to add to the list?

Use CPM (cost per impression) to test your Facebook ads instead of CPC (cost per click). When testing your ads using CPC it diverts the focus from testing the actual ads to testing the landing page or pages. There will be plenty of time to test landing pages but right now we want to test which ads produce the lowest CPC.
Pay Per Click equals 1.08 USD per click
Pay Per Impressions equals 0.38 USD per thousand
Remember, using CPM to first test the ads, you can determine what the true CPC rate is based on the actual performance of the ads. Testing your ads this way requires a tad bit more effort but will pay back big time when you save some of your budget testing the ads.

Based in San Francisco, The Topsy Search Engine (Beta) is described to be “A Search Engine Powered by Tweets”. The Topsy team further explains Topsy as a new kind of search engine, with a new way of looking at the Internet. Yesterday, Topsy officially announced the search engine is now the largest searchable index of content posted on Twitter. This means with over 5 billion indexed tweets dating back to May 2008, the index is larger than Google’s Twitter Search and Twitter Search. Below Danny Sullivan of SearchEngineLand.com, provides a helpful chart comparing the three:
Topsy offers a comprehensive search engine which is ideal for monitoring your brand’s Twitter presence. Are you looking for more historical information about your brand for online reputation management? I haven’t been using the search engine for very long, but so far I am impressed with the results. Topsy also offers advanced search and search operators features which are really helpful to laser target the types of tweets you are looking for.
Have you used Topsy yet? What has been your experience with the search engine?

Google Calendar Sync Now Supports Outlook 2010
Google appears to be slowly rolling out an update that allows results on their search engine results page to change as you begin entering a new search query. Whether or not this feature will make it through beta and roll out to all Google search users is still up in the air, but a representative from Google confirmed to Techcrunch that this is indeed being tested.
So what would this update mean to your current search engine optimization efforts? First off, you may experience fewer click-throughs from a search engine results page if people begin modifying their query. The best thing to do is ensure that if your website is ranking for a particular phrase, it is also ranking for all close variations.
For example, if your website ranks #1 in Google for “search engine marketing company” you will want to ensure you also rank for “search engine marketing companies”, “search engine marketing company in…” and “search engine marketing company services”.
In order to rank for the variations, make sure there are several variations on the page that is ranking by working them into the body copy. Also, try to build links using all the keyword variations as the anchor text of the links. Even if Google does not roll out this update to everyone, it is still good practice to rank for all the variations of a given phrase.

In an effort to expand the availability of sensitive category blocking (also known as category filtering) worldwide, we’re happy to announce that sensitive category blocking has now officially launched in Japanese, Chinese, Polish, and Portuguese. As you might know, this feature is also available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Arabic with testing being done for Russian.
With sensitive category blocking, you can prevent ads from up to 11 specific categories from appearing on your pages. Ads in these categories will be blocked if they’re in any of the supported languages, regardless of how they’ve been targeted to your pages.
If you’d like to set up sensitive category blocking, please sign in to your AdSense account and visit the Ad Review Center, located under the ‘AdSense Setup’ tab. Once you click ‘change,’ you’ll be able to view the full list of categories you can block. In addition, to help you understand the impact of applying these filters, we’ll show you the percentage of revenue and ad impressions you’ve been receiving from each category in the last 30 days.
For more information about sensitive category blocking, we encourage you to visit our Help Center.
