			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The power of  <a title="Social Media Marketing" href="http://www.toputop.com/social-media-marketing.html" target="_blank">Social Media Marketing</a> can really change your world by opening new doors of opportunity.</p>
<p>They are great people in general, their profile say an entirely different thing. People looking to connect with someone on a business level, first make sure that profile is presentable before making contact to target audience. Do not have your main profile picture. Another thing is make sure the information displayed on your profile is nothing personal that you would not want your known people to see. Keep in mind; your new contacts do not know you personally, so it will be hard to tell what may be sarcasm. Try to keep your profile as neat as possible and precise. If you would like to have a separate business account from your personal account, this is fine just make sure your personal account is set to private since the two can easily be identified.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.toputop.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/recharge-social-media.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-187" style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="recharge-social-media" src="http://www.toputop.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/recharge-social-media.png" alt="Social Media Marketing" width="352" height="336" /></a></p>

<p>Pepsi has started a rebranding phase. Pepsi has created a room at <a title="Friendfeed" href="http://friendfeed.com/rooms/pepsicooler" target="_blank">Friendfeed</a> to catch the consumer feedback. This room is currently having 250+ members which are operated by Pepsi social media team.</p>
<p>Pepsi has reached out to 25 (digital and social media influences) with three separately-shipped packages. Instead of creating channels in Facebook and Myspace they have their unique way by creating portal <a title="Pepsimax" href="http://www.pepsimax.com.au/" target="_blank">Pepsimax</a> but it is still in beta testing.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Toputop.com" href="http://www.toputop.com" target="_blank"><img style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.toputop.com/blogs_images/SEO vs SEM_icon.jpg" alt="SEO vs SEM" width="400" height="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There is a common misconception among many internet marketers about the two terms: SEO and SEM. Much is revealed as soon as one observes the two acronyms. SEO stands for <a title="Search Engine Optimization" href="http://toputop.com/search-engine-optimization.html" target="_blank">search engine optimization</a> and SEM for <a title="Search Engine marketing" href="http://toputop.com/social-media-marketing.html" target="_blank">search engine marketing</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">SEO is only a small part of SEM which focuses on on-site and off-site adjustments in order to produce higher rankings in the search engine result pages. SEO also works well in combination with other SEM disciplines such as traffic analytics.SEM encompasses all known strategies used to market online via search engines such as Google, Live and MSN.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For example press releases can be used for a variety of purposes. In some cases you may wish to distribute your press release to create brand awareness, inform the public about an important change that has affected your business, in other cases you may use press releases and articles as a clever search engine optimization tool which will assist you to generate extra back links through a contextually balanced linking environment.<br />
Another common misconception is that SEO is free and deals with the organic search engine results and &#8220;SEM&#8221; is paid and mainly concerned with <a title="PPC" href="http://toputop.com/Pay-per-click-advertising.html" target="_blank">PPC (Pay Per Click)</a>, banner ads, <a title="Affiliate Marketing" href="http://toputop.com/Affiliate-marketing.html" target="_blank">affiliate programs</a> and paid reviews. Better way to refer to these two terms would be SEO and Online Advertising.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The truth is that unless you have plenty of time to spend in research and keeping yourself up to date with the latest trends, you will have to spend a bit of money with either strategy. Even if you get an expert to handle this for you, it will still take a bit of research and trial before you can decide which way to go with your business and whether to combine the two strategies.</p>
