Covering Your Assets: The Analytical Memoby Leslie R. Fisher

Covering Your Assets: The Analytical Memoby Leslie R. Fisher
As a solo librarian I have little time for marketing events. So as a way to streamline my marketing endeavor I include identification and self-promotion bundled with products I deliver to customers ("deliverables"). Perhaps my key product is the post-processed search. Since this is also one of my most invisible products, I enhance its delivery with marketing information in the form of an analytical cover memo. The analyzation covers the search and compilation process rather than the content itself. In this article I will explain this type of memo and why I use it.
The production of deliverables often involves invisible services. Marketing our services can and should educate the user about product development and about the value that we as information professionals bring to the process. Without resorting to an overbearing narrative description of service processes, we can provide our users with a product analysis that reveals the foundations, procedures, and relative success of a request fulfillment. The method I use is to provide an "analytical" memo with search results.
The notion of providing "analysis" on a topic, industry, company, etc. is one that makes many librarians cautious, if not launching them into a dire panic. Let me head off some of those concerns by emphasizing at the outset that I am talking about analyzing the research process and the deliverable_and not analyzing the topic, industry, or company per se. After I describe this marketing tactic, I will touch on the concerns of avoiding analytical responsibility as an industry specialist. This is a valid concern, and yet there is much that can be provided by the searcher or reference specialist that gives context to the product and the subject that the memo covers.
Increasing the UnderstandingFirst, consider the nature of our work. We take numerous steps in providing a finished product. A search or reference endeavor starts with a user request and some degree of reference interview. This is followed by the searcher's appraisal of the subject. If the searcher is well versed in the subject this may be a quick event; if not, this may require investigation of subject history and clarification of best search resources. If the request is highly textured (containing multiple subject concepts or multiple aspects of a topic, i.e., business information, market information, key players, competitors, etc.), then the request fulfillment requires significant internalization of retrieved information and thoughtful output.
We may be requested to present all output in an unmediated format. This certainly requires little value-added structuring to the deliverable beyond identifying search sources and time references (search conducted when, search covers what time frame). On the other hand, we may also be requested to present a snapshot of a subject (who's who in an industry, companies and their status, background of a technology/product, etc.). In these cases we are preparing, sleuthing, and presenting. We make judgments and assessments not only about where to search, but also about what to retrieve and how to weave together a large body of material. It is this process that I illuminate through the cover memo.
Being the Authority on Your Process, Not on Their SubjectWhen I give my clients their information packages, I sometimes include a cover memo depicting the contents of the deliverable and presenting some points about sources. This memo may be simple, like a list of featured sections from articles in the document. The list will present key points that provide an overview of search results. To clearly represent the featured sections, I usually identify the date and source of original publication. I also include the page number in the search results where this item will be found.
The search document itself will be framed into sections using headers to identify the document by logical information segments. Segmentation of the search document depends upon the subject matter. Logical segmentation may be subject subsets, such as company A, company B, product history, etc. Another subject segmentation might subdivide the document into persons, companies, industry overview, etc. Sometimes an effective overview of the search process and results are better revealed through segmentation by document type (such as news material, market research material, bio material, company publications, etc.).
When a request results in a complex retrieval, I will provide more information in the analytical memo. In this case, I am likely to abstract material ranging across subsets (as defined above) and present these in the cover memo in a layout that depicts their inter-relationship. For instance, when information is retrieved about a number of players, companies, or products and is distributed over several document segments, I will draw them together in the cover memo as a list or table. As another example, when the collective information on an individual is spread across several sections of the search document, I will abstract vital information into a biographical outline, such as age, education, key dates of interest, professional appointments, etc. With the abstracted notations, I usually include selected quotations from retrieved material, or I will at least identify source documents for these data.
I may or may not include exhaustive references to the database sources that I used in the analytical memo. In a large organization where interfaces may be less personal, I would do so. However, in my present situation, I have the privilege of working for a group of people that I see nearly daily. With some clients I will discuss the types of sources I will use or get suggestions/directions from them while the search is in progress. If I did not have this accessibility and ready dialog I would certainly apprize requesters of the search sources (as opposed to retrieved material sources) I used. And, as I do verbally, I would indicate where a richness or dearth of information occurs in published material. (The absence and presence of published material is indicative in some cases of the "freshness," degree of importance, public awareness, etc. of a given subject.)
One point I will include in the output is an indication of success or degree of fulfillment of the search. I will indicate any problems I sensed, such as if I felt the retrieval is missing some factor, if retrieved material is not current enough, or if a lapse of data pieces occurs over the time sequence of the material. Also, I may note where there is an abundance of material. Though this factor is likely to have been communicated during the search mediation, when there is a great deal of material retrieved I will choose not to include a significant amount. I feel it is important that the client realizes the degree of selectivity that is represented in the product.
The amount of narrative disclosure on search fulfillment depends in part on the client. As I mentioned earlier, in my current situation I will usually be in verbal communication with clients during a long, complex search process. In this case I will tell them about obstacles and holes or imbalances over comparative segments of a deliverable. Cover memos thus may or may not include this commentary.
Organizational Context of MemosIn this article you may have observed an implied factor in the decisions I make about the analytical memo; this is the nature of the organization in which I work. Analytical overviews of deliverables may be more appropriate for some organizations (or some clients) than for others. My organization supports this form of value-added processing (and marketing), and it includes rich communication levels among members and a significant degree of partnering on the search process.
Another important factor in this organization is the clarity I have on how my clients will use the material I deliver to them. I know that they are not passing products along to outside sources. Thus I am confident that this information will not appear out of context and misrepresent the subject to a party that has not participated in the search mediation.
I currently work for a venture capital group. This industry is very contact-intensive. A great deal of information employees rely on is obtained as word-of-mouth communication among themselves and between colleagues and deal participants. They are great sifters of information. And they use their expert networking skills to confirm and context data points (narrative and documented) from many angles. I am certain that every information kernel and data bit they gather is added to the greater knowledgebase and referenced from that point of view. It is not unusual for new information presented in the course of a deal to change the picture. Sometimes the search process is a result of these changes. Sometimes the search process results in these changes. While quantitative aspects are part of many searches, this is a very qualitative research environment. Perhaps, in quantitative research environments, the analytical aspect of a deliverable would be reduced or limited.
The Analytical Memo as MarketingI believe my deliverables serve three significant aspects of marketing services to my clientele: increasing my clients' understanding of what I do, validating my services, and establishing a dialog between my clients and me. Let me explain further:
As a whole, the memo provides an insight into the sleuthing, comprehensive skills, and post-processing agenda I've undertaken for a research event. I believe this increases my clients' understanding of what I really do. Increasing their awareness of my aptitudes puts the client into a better position to evaluate the construction of the deliverable and gives them more information with which to assess the value and validity of the search results. They are empowered by understanding the process and they are invited to participate in search mediation. I believe the increased confidence in the product that this produces also validates my services at large and my position as a company asset, therefore encouraging my clients to take advantage of the services more often.
If I have done everything right, I have now forged greater respect for my position as well as for myself. I believe the memo opens up dialog that establishes my ownership of my work (what I really do), and it establishes an invitation to one-on-one and iterative relationships. My client and I become a team.
Cautions on "Analyzing" InformationWhen using the analytical memo for search and reference deliverables, it is necessary to maintain very clear distinctions about what is being analyzed. For most search and reference librarians, and even for some subject specialists, out-and-out industry analysis is beyond the scope of our job requirements and beyond the authority of our skill sets. However, analytical skills are very much a part of what we must use to fulfill our research tasks. Using these skills appropriately can increase the value of the products we deliver and thus increase the value of our services.
When applying these skills, it is important for us to keep in mind the key word "appropriate." I believe that appropriate analytical practices are the norm among us. (In conversations with my colleagues I find that many would rather avoid any such analysis than provide it. And I have yet to find someone who would blithely assume to apply these skills beyond their ability.) What requires more endeavor on our parts is to ensure that our clients recognize the limits with which we apply our analytical skills. Promoting the skill and its services through value-added memos must be tempered with carefully crafted delivery so the client recognizes that the analysis is applied only to the deliverable and to the process. There are some additional steps you can follow in order to maintain and promote those limits.
If I worked in a large organization I would always identify in the memo the analyst (myself or a team). I would also indicate the limits of the analysis, e.g., not a company-sanctioned document, not a formal analysis, etc. It might also be appropriate to caution the client to refrain from further distribution of the document.
Any specialists that are identified during or for the purpose of a search (individual, agency, or institution) may also be identified as such in the memo. Likewise with pertinent authors in the subject areas. This gives the client access to specialists and analytical authority beyond the scope of the searcher.
One Final NoteI do not include an analytical memo with each deliverable. Sometimes there isn't time for this degree of post-processing. Sometimes I deliver this information verbally. Some deliverables are far too simple or data-oriented to warrant such an attachment.
On the other hand, some deliverables cry out for a good cover memo. A 30-page or longer document requires more than headers to assist the reader in timely digestion. It is one simple (though not always easy) step to extract the highlights from the document so that the reader knows how to prepare their own thought processes for this new information.
This sort of value-added tool is a kind of handshake between my client and me. It also helps me to form the shelf on which I store this information. The analytical memo concludes a process I have started with sleuthing. It prepares my thought processes for further discovery in the same subject arena, or in other related subjects. It is thus a part of the agenda for my work-related satisfaction. It completes my cycle of research. It prepares me for further dialog with clients. And, as I have learned, especially in my current work arena, dialog is marketing.

Adsense Mistake

Today is "content day" - the first of the four areas you need to master to start raking in AdSense cash.** Big Content MistakesDid your Mother ever tell you that 'everything in moderation is okay'? Well, she was an AdSense genius that woman!There is a definite road to disaster with AdSense and it comes by doing too much of one thing.1. Don't have a site built purely from your own content.Why? Because it will take too long to grow lots of pages. Although unique, quality content is the bees knees if you ignore other sources of content you are, to quote the cheese-gurus, 'leaving money on the table'.2. Don't have a site built purely from other people's content.Why? Because you'll have little that's unique on your site. Every man and his dog tries to borrow other people's content and use content that already exists elsewhere. But that doesn't make it right:"If you do what everybody else does, you'll get what everybody else gets."Search engines can frown on duplicate content so if you use sources of content that are not unique you'll need to do things to make those pages unique. But the best plan is not build a site entirely from other people's content3. Don't have a site built purely of 'synthesized' content.Why? Because using fancy article-crawling-machines and other 'automatic content machines' will backfire on you eventually. It might make you some revenue in the short-term but it's like trying to build a house with bricks but no mortar.Sure - it's WAY quicker, but I know which house I'd rather live in and which one is still going to be there in a year's time..That's it for today, tomorrow we move on to Keywords.See you then!

Google adsense folks have unveiled another useful feature for Adsense publishers - Section Targeting.The concept is simple but the advantages and possibilities are endless.Consider a possible scenario that could confuse Adsense Bot and serve irrelevant ads on your page. You have just written an article in your blog on "Web Hosting". Great, but on the same page you have others sections like "Previous Posts", "User Comments", "RSS Web Feeds" and your "Profile".Your personal profile may say that you are a die-hard soccer fan, user comments might contain spam and links to Viagra stores, the Previous Posts may contain totally unrelated topics like "US Outsources Teachers" or "Google releases Dance 2005 pictures".Your article on "Web Hosting" may occupy just 50% of your precious blog Real estate while the rest is grabbed by everything else.What do you do then. Here comes Google Adsense Section Targeting to your rescue. Just tweak your HTML a bit and force Googlebot to focus only on specific content.Some things to note before implementing Google Tags:1. Don't cheat Google why targetting wrong content - Google is smart enough.2. Though a bit risky but always include user comments in the Tags.3. Don't worry if your Google earning drop the first day, experiment for some time.4. Always include the Title of post within the tags.Here's how you do it. Just open your Page HTML in notepad, point your cursor to the beginning of your article and insert the following line:Then point your cursor where your story end and inser the following HTML lineSave your HTML and publish it to the web. You are done. It is so simple.So it is just like saying - "Hey Google, please don't read my entire page for determing the Ads that you want to serve. I want you to focus just here".You can use section targeting to make suggestions about as many sections of a page as you like. In Google jargon, you are making a suggestion to Google Adsense Bot. Google suggests that you need to include ’significant content’ in the tags or you’ll end up with irrelevant ads or PSAs.Here's a sample illustration of implementing Section Targeting in Blogger Templates. (Use at your own risk)

<$BlogItemTitle$>

<$BlogItemBody$>

Save to &title=<$BlogItemTitle$>">Del.icio.us&u=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>" target="_blank">Furl It

The content between the Google comment tags is emphasized and the rest may be ignored while displaying Google Text Ads or adsense units. Remember to use this feature carefully. Double check that you have closed the Google Start tag. Incase you need further help on implementing section targeting in your Blogger template, feel free to contact me. Good luck.

Adsense Layout

If you are testing your new website layout, you might be reloading your website pages again-n-again. And if these pages contain Google Ads, each time your reload your page, you make a request to Google Ads Server for a new set of ads.

Certainly Google is unaware that you are testing your website and it might even penalize your account for "click-fraud" since the IP requesting ads remains same. And if in the worst-case scenario, you might accidently click on your own ads. And these extra "ad impressions" will also chance your CTR data.

One simple way to avoid this serious problem is to remove the Adsense code altogether from your page before testing. But this may not be the best solution as your Google Ads are an important part of your layout. So here are a few simple but effective workarounds:

1. Instead of using Adsense code, add a static graphic (jpg image) with the same dimesions as your adsense code. (Google itself provides static images of various ad formats.)

2. Modify the value of google_ad_client to something like "pub-googleIamTesting"

3. Add another line to Google Adsense code google_adtest = "on"; Don't forget the semicolon.

4. Though there is no official comment, it is safer to remove the google_ad_channel variable.

Or contact Google Adsense Team with your query. Google folks are very quick to respond.

Google AdSense policies require that websites displaying Google ads be active and not under construction. When your site is complete and active, you may add the AdSense
ad code.

keyword marketing

Section 1: Basic Definition
Some basic definitions to start with and please excuse me if it is too simple for an explanation. I will be keeping it purely on organic searches.
What is a keyphrase with respect to SEM?
People use different phrases to search for a concept, or a product, or a service. These phrases are known as keyphrases. Each keyphrase will contain one or more keyword.
Why keyphrases are important?
In my opinion keyphrases are like products and all that applies to product management or product marketing applies to keyphrase management and keyphrase marketing, if not direct then certainly in an indirect way. Previously I once had explained the AIM matrix for keyphrases which is a BCG matrix analysis for keyphrase (but lost the original version with server change but still the www has a few copies, you can search for it on web or feel free to contact me).
Section 2: Attributes of a keyphrase
A keyword has many attributes which can be broadly categorized into following attributes:-
Overall market or popularity
Relevancy with respect to the business
Overall Competition
Total players.
Strength of top 10 players (on-page and off-page).
Indecisive factors.
Landing page
Let's take it one by one for indepth understanding
Overall market or popularity
The total number of times a keyphrase is searched across different search engines during a given length of time. For this you can use different online tools. I do not want to give links over here. Search google and you will get it or try http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum8/423.htm .
Relevancy
Not each keyphrase is of same relevancy. Some are very directly targeted and not. If I take an example for click fraud company, then "PPC fraud click detection" is more relevant that the keyphrase "Search Engine Marketing" or "SEM". Some searching for SEM may be interested in PPC campagin and thus click farud service but the relevancy factor is low. This highly depends on the product and services offered or rather targeted. This is somehow variably constant as probability of a frequently significant change is very low. You can define a value (e.g. percentage points) to reflect the relevancy.
Note: According to Some experts we can introduce a weighted popularity attribute which is a combination of overall market and relevancy. No. of searches X relevancy = weighted popularity (will help you find the terms which will best reach the desired audience)
Overall Competition
This can be further divided into three points:-
Total Players: Total sites under the keyphrase search in different SE. (I will prefer to check it only in google for just no special reason). In order to avoid accidental players (who are there just due to some common keyphrase or accidentally appeared keyphrase, example some blogs just talking about the personal experiences with click frauds.) you can use the following searches, * (returns 1,410,000 results , this is normal search) * (returns 820 results which is about keyphrase in the page title) * (returns 386 results when keyphrase is in the url) * (returns 68,200 results with inanchor)
Using these search techniques we can develop an estimated figure for competition. You can come up with an algo here.
Strength of top 10 players in Google: Links play a major role – rather a decisive role - for highly competitive keyphrases. In other words the strength of the top players can be judged on the basis of the total links (judging the quality is a difficult job) acquired. Median of Top 10 sites will give a fair idea of competition on the basis of links. Onpage factors are not as decisive as it can be achieved by putting some extra effort on the need and the content. For checking the links you can use the following searches in yahoo (as yahoo gives the most accurate picture as of now) :-
* (total backlinks 1,950,000) * (these many are internal links from Slashdot.org itself 16,400)
All these link calculation will give you only an approximate estimate of the overall strength of the top players.
Indecisive factors: There are few more indecisive factors like anchor text, keyword density and blah blah blah. (Only few experts know about it :) and surely they will not reveal all the secrets.)
Landing page
A targeted landing page for each keyphrase (atleast for the major one) is a good practice. Since
f (ranking) = a1 x f (onpage) + a2 x f (offpage) ,
Where f (ranking) = function for Ranking, f (onpage) = function calculating onpage factor value, f (offpage) = function calculating offpage factor value and a1 and a2 are approx weights.
For major keyphrase f (offpage) plays major role as f (onpage) can’t be improved beyond a limit. If you have different landing pages for different search engine (for any reason) then you may face a problem in strengning your position for a high competitive keyphrase.
Section 3: Phases of Keyphrase marketing
There are different phases for keyphrase marketing. I have tried to categorize it into three broader ones, which are:-
Discovery
Investment
Feedback and ROI calculations
Let's study them one by one
Discovery Phase
The first phase is to discover the keyphrases. As we have explained under "Overall market or popularity", you can use the online tools to discover potential keywords. You can also use Google adwords for keyword discovery. A tracking system can play a very major role in discovering some potential but rare keyphrases like "How to get a mortgage in texas?" You can have a high conversion ratio for such crucial sentences. Tools like google analytics can help in redesigning the landing page for a better conversion ratio.
Investment Phase
In order to rank good in search engines you need to invest time into each major keyphrase to bring more traffic and links to the target page. A good analysis can help you with the investment phase. Follow the steps for an investment phase:-
* Step 1: Make a 3x3 matrix with weighted popularity and competition as displayed with high, medium and low columns and rows. * Step 2: Now fill in the kephrases inside the cells. If your business operates more profitably in Texas compared to California then Texas mortgage has more weighted popularity for your business. Similarly "Well Fargo home mortgage" is very competitive keyphrase but may not be relevant for you. You should start from (high weighted popularity, low competition) and go towards (low weighted popularity, high competition). You can choose a clockwise or anti-clockwise approach to cover cells.
Feedback and ROI calculations
Keep checking the ROI for the keyphrases , sometimes the real data shows a little different graph than our expectations. A tracking system can help you calculate the ROI and redefine your strategies. A consistent feedback and ROI calculation is a must as the market varies so does the competition and the ranking.
I wrote this article when the world was more inclined towards SEO. And this is just an overview, if I get time I will write the marketing aspect of keyphrases with respect to user experiences.
Hope it helps

In fact, one of thegreatest mistakes people commit thats why they fail to get whatthey want is that they are too determined to acquire theirgoals. It is like they have created a now or never scene. Experts recommend that it is still best to always have achoice. Do not assume that when you negotiate, it should alwaysbe a point of no return. Be open for alternatives. If you thinkyou can never have it your way, so be it. There is always anext time, and next times are always better. So the next time you plan to negotiate on something, keep thesethings in mind. In one way or another, you will be able toforesee a positive result if you really know how to play yourcards well. It should never be a gamble.
