    Your English seems to be fine.

    I'd think that not being the expert might actually pan out in your favor.

    So.. go around your company. Interview people. Let the engineers talk you through the product. (Maybe even video / audio)

    See what excites them about it and note what excites you about it.

    Write about that.

    I agree with blindapeseo, When he is saying that your English seems to be fine. So, kindly remove that fear for now.

    If I carefully see the selection of words in your thread. Following observations are there:

    1) I'm not a professional in the core business
    2) All problems that could be facing a newbie on SEO
    3) I wouldn't and shouldn't post any links of the website I'm working to promote/advertise, but anyone who would be kind enough to offer me help can search for mailimate (with 2 "i"s)

    My Suggestions are:

    1) It is not required that you are expert in your field from the first day of your carrier. Important thing is, How much you like this job and this field you are in... If this is something related with your passion...Then rest assure that you will certainly going to learn the things which are required to become super successful. Just give enough time to yourself.

    2) You are trying to learn SEO for your current project...I will say ...No...Please don't try to learn and implement SEO for just this project...May be the results which you want to achieve...may not be achieved within the timeframe given by your boss. You should certainly learn and implement some ON-Page SEO when trying to setup your landing page. However, this is something you should certainly keep in your long-term agenda of learning.

    3) You are a good copywriter...and a smart guy....With the point 3 above... you have smartly promoted your product being tried to keep moderators happy. Try to find a better way though...as in this forum..There are much smarter people are there.

    At the end...Keep learning....

        I'm asking this cuz I think it's the engineers' job to design it, but it seems my responsibility to decide how to better it for Google. I'm not sure how, but I would like to try to make contributions.
        So do you have any knowledge of this kind? Or what/who would you recommend me to turn to for help?
        Thanks a million!
        PS: I'm not a guy LOL
        First...Sorry...I marked as Guy!

        See! Everything can be learned, but the question is about your timelines. Your product is ready, are you going to do each and everything by yourself after learning each and every aspect of Internet Marketing? Be it SEO...

        If that is the expectation then I am afraid, They will need to wait for a long time. I will suggest you to take help of an expert for the time being. If you want to learn SEO, then there are several great threads in this forum only. You can also take help of Google for learn more about this aspect.

        Best of Luck!

        Social bookmarking sites allow you to store your bookmarks in a way that other users may also find about your favourite sites. Many of these services try to let you discover new sites by comparing your bookmarks to what other users have saved to similar categories.

        However, they're not necessarily an effective SEO method. Social bookmark is a backlink somewhere deep down in the site, on a page that likely doesn't have much authority. Google might not even find it, or might not know wether it's in the same niche as your money site. Usually the links are marked as nofollow, too.

        This is also the problem with other points on the list. If you're going for SEO, social media may not directly help you that much even though it might be a good way to connect to your potential customers.

        Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
        Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

        What's your excuse?

    Hi, This is the most common question of people who engaged in e-business. But of course, it has a solution for that - ask convergent7.com they are the ones who know more about increasing the traffic of the site. Just an opinion!

    I agree with what people are saying here, your English is actually good! I think a good way to promote your website and it's services would be through the use of social media, like Facebook, Twitter, etc. There are a lot of ways to promote your site actually and even if you are not professional, if you are really eager to learn there are a lot of ways too. I actually turn to Youtube or Google if I don't know how to do this or that to gain more knowledge.

    For promoting your website you have to use various techniques as follows:
    # Use good SEO techniques as on page and off page techniques.
    # Make use of various social networking sites.
    # Advertise for your website on high page ranked web site.
    # Submit your websites to more than one search engine.
    # Use quality contents only.

    Hi WF users,

    My name is Stephanie, I'm doing Online-Marketing in my company, right now I'm having tremendous difficulties in doing my job well because:

    1. My company is aiming for international market instead of national, which demands professional knowledge and excellent English. I'm not a native English speaker so my language may read awkward or unclear, I'm not sure if that would be of serious problem, would anyone who sees my post be kind enough to tell me whether it's unnecessary worry or not(based on the language use of this post)?

    2. Speaking of professional knowledge, I'm not a professional in the core business of my company(anyone who might be interested can check out my facebook link I put in my profile), actually I'm far from professional, but both my boss and I do not reckon it to be a crucial disadvantage for me, besides I'm continuingly working on increasing my knowledge, and still, it is impairing my capability to promote our products anyways;

    3. My company recently developed a new product, a simple one as the first of our upcoming series, and I was assigned the task of promoting it in various forums I can think of or posting threads about its application in a concrete scenario, I agree it could be the easiest or most straightforward way, and I've been doing it for some time now, but the result is far from satisfactory. I've realized it could be my lack of professional knowledge, my decision to post threads everywhere available so that I got banned quite a few times, and all problems that could be facing a newbie on SEO, that's why I'm here asking for help. In a general sense, I'm aware of the RIGHT ways to do SEO (I've read some posts written by experienced SEOers), but in my case, concrete guidance is urgently needed, or I would still be at lost on what to accomplish;

    4. As to the particular product I'm trying to promote, I would APPRECIATE it if anyone can guide me a little on what to accomplish, things are hardest at the beginning, but I'm always willing to LEARN. Now I wouldn't and shouldn't post any links of the website I'm working to promote/advertise, but anyone who would be kind enough to offer me help can search for mailimate (with 2 "i"s) and click on the first link google offers. It is a free disposable email service;

    5. I will constantly check on this post to follow up any further replies or comments, so if you see this and have ANYTIHNG you want to say, PLEASE leave your words here, I would really appreciate your responding.

    PS: It took me FOREVER to write this post, alas, thumbs down for me.
    And please forgive me for any typos or misuse of language I didn't recognize, your corrections are welcomed.

    Thank you for your time.
    You need to have a plan for your website before trying to build links. But first pick keywords you want to rank from the Google keyword tool. Than write articles on your site and make sure you include those keywords just once on whatever page you are trying to rank.

    Make sure to include keywords in your Title tags, H1 tags, meta description and keyword tags don't use one keyword more than once.

    Than build backlinks from sites that have strong DA and PA and vary your anchor text use most branded keyword anchor meaning your website name, hopefully isn't an EMD than you will rank if you don't get links from penalized sites

    Waiiiiiit.... so you're in charge of online marketing? But you don't know what SEO is or how you should approach it properly?

    So there's a new product... and you're in charge of online marketing... but you don't know what step 1 for online marketing?

    Sorry for being harsh but I just don't believe in the story. It's either you know somebody there REALLY GOOD for letting you have that position or this is just a make-up story to get free custom information rather than the rehashed content shared in the SEO section.

      Thank you for your comment.
      1. I'm not IN CHARGE of IM, I'm just INVOLVED in IM, I do a lot other assisting work around the office;
      I'm not the ONLY person who's going through ALL IM work in my company;

      2. I wasn't initially hired as IM staff, it's just a field my boss expects me to explore and I'm ready to LEARN;

      3. The site I mentioned in my post is still under development, as the first product of an upcoming series(non-profit, brand-enhancing purpose), I was supposed to make a few good-quality posts about it so that the name could be spread, which I did, but both my boss and I think I need better understanding of certain professional knowledge before going on, which is what I've been doing for now;

      4. I posted this thread QUITE a while ago when I was really at a lost and found this forum especially helpful, so I reached out to people for guidance and suggestions, honestly stating my situation. It's not an URGENT request, but people keep replying, for which I appreciate, and since I promised to check up on this post, like I mentioned in it, I keep replying to helping people as well, so that might be the reason you noticed my post in the top and somehow found it a bit annoying or "untrustworthy".

      5. My company is a small-sized one mainly doing software-outsourcing service for profit, so IM does matter and needs to be emphasized but it's not a life-or-death issue around here. We have our reputation and established client base;
      So NO, I did not make this up, and NO, I do not have to know someone here "really well" to get this job, I got this job mainly due to other shown abilities other than IM skills, and my past experiences counted I suppose.

      I hope this clarifies a little.
      Have a nice day.
