Get the best Pay Per Call Software for Your Business

In the world of performance marketing, Pay Per Call has become one of the most effective strategies to drive high-quality leads. Unlike Pay Per Click (PPC) or other digital campaigns, Pay Per Call connects advertisers directly with potential customers through phone calls—bringing in higher intent and conversion rates. But to truly harness the power of this model, businesses need robust Pay Per Call software. So how do you choose the right one? Let’s explore what makes great Pay Per Call software and how it can transform your business.

What is Pay Per Call Software?

Pay Per Call software is a specialized platform that tracks, manages, and analyzes inbound phone calls generated by marketing campaigns. It acts as a bridge between publishers (affiliates) and advertisers, ensuring transparency and real-time tracking of leads. This software helps businesses:

Track where calls are coming from

Route calls to the right agents or departments

Record and analyze call quality

Manage affiliate payouts

Like countless other people around the globe, I stream music, and like more than six hundred million of them I mainly use Spotify. Streaming currently accounts for about eighty per cent of the American recording industry’s revenue, and in recent years Spotify’s health is often consulted as a measure for the health of the music business over all. Last spring, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry reported global revenues of $28.6 billion, making for the ninth straight year of growth. All of this was unimaginable in the two-thousands, when the major record labels appeared poorly equipped to deal with piracy and the so-called death of physical media. On the consumer side, the story looks even rosier. Adjusted for inflation, a monthly subscription to an audio streaming service, allowing convenient access to a sizable chunk of the history of recorded music, costs much less than a single album once did. It can seem too good to be true.

Like considerably fewer people, I still buy a lot of CDs, records, and cassettes, mostly by independent artists, which is to say that I have a great deal of sympathy for how this immense reorganization in how we consume music has complicated the lives of artists trying to survive our on-demand, hyper-abundant present. Spotify divvies out some share of subscriber fees as royalties in proportion to an artist’s popularity on the platform. The service recently instituted a policy in which a track that registers fewer than a thousand streams in a twelve-month span earns no royalties at all. Some estimate that this applies to approximately two-thirds of its catalogue, or about sixty million songs. Meanwhile, during a twelve-month stretch from 2023 to 2024, Spotify announced new revenue highs, with estimates that the company is worth more than Universal and Warner combined. During the same period, its C.E.O., Daniel Ek, cashed out three hundred and forty million dollars in stock; his net worth, which fluctuates but is well into the billions, is thought to make him richer than any musician in history. Music has always been a perilous, impractical pursuit, and even sympathetic fans hope for the best value for their dollar. But if you think too deeply about what you’re paying for, and who benefits, the streaming economy can seem awfully crooked.

Although artists such as Taylor Swift and Neil Young have temporarily removed their music from Spotify—Swift pressed the company over its paltry royalty rates, while Young was protesting its nine-figure deal with the divisive podcaster Joe Rogan—defying the streamer comes with enormous risks. Spotify is a library, but it’s also a recommendation service, and its growth is fuelled by this second function, and by the company’s strategies for soundtracking the entirety of our days and nights. As a former Spotify employee once observed, the platform’s only real competitor is silence. In recent years, its attempts at studying and then adapting to our behavior have invited more than casual scrutiny among users: gripes about the constant tweaks and adjustments that make the interface more coldly opaque, stories about A.I.-generated songs and bots preying on the company’s algorithms, fatigue over “Spotify-core,” the shorthand for the limp, unobtrusive pop music that appears to be the service’s default aesthetic. Even Spotify’s popular Wrapped day, when users are given social-media-ready graphics detailing their listening habits from the past year, recently took its lumps. Where the previous year’s version assigned listeners a part of the world that most aligned with their favorites, the 2024 edition was highlighted by the introduction of personalized, A.I.-voiced recaps, striking some as the Spotify problem in a nutshell—a good thing that gets a little worse with all the desperate fine-tuning.

Just as we train Spotify’s algorithm with our likes and dislikes, the platform seems to be training us to become round-the-clock listeners. Most people don’t take issue with this—in fact, a major Spotify selling point is that it can offer you more of what you like. Liz Pelly’s new book, “Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist,” is a comprehensive look at how the company’s dominance has profoundly changed the way we listen and what we listen to. A contributing editor to The Baffler, Pelly has covered the ascent of Spotify for years, and she was an early critic of how the streaming economy relies less on delivering hit tunes than on keeping us within a narrow gradient of chill vibes. Her approach is aggressively moralistic: she is strongly influenced, she explains, by D.I.Y. spaces that attempt to bring about alternate forms of “collective culture,” rather than accept the world’s inequities as a given. She sympathizes with the plight of artists who feel adrift in the winner-take-all world of the Internet, contending with superstars like Adele or Coldplay for placement on career-making playlists and, consequently, a share of streaming revenue. But her greatest concerns are for listeners, with our expectations for newness and convenience. Pelly is a romantic, but her book isn’t an exercise in nostalgia. It’s about how we have come to view art and creativity, what it means to be an individual, and what we learn when we first hum along to a beloved pop song.

A great many people over forty retain some memory of the first time they witnessed the awesome possibilities of Internet piracy—the sense of wonder that you could go to class and return a couple of hours later to a Paul Oakenfold track playing from somewhere inside your computer. In 1999, two teen-agers named Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker launched the file-sharing application Napster, effectively torching the music industry as it had existed for nearly a century. There had always been piracy and bootlegging, but Napster introduced the free exchange of music at a global scale. Rather than maintain a publicly accessible archive of recordings—which was clearly illegal—Napster provided a peer-to-peer service that essentially allowed users to pool their music libraries. After a year, Fanning and Parker’s app had twenty million users.

At first, anti-Napster sentiment echoed the hysteria of the nineteen-seventies and eighties around the prospect of home taping killing the record industry. Yet online piracy was far more serious, moving at unprecedented speed. One label executive argued that Fanning and Parker belonged in jail, but there was no uniform response. For example, the media conglomerate Bertelsmann made plans to invest in Napster even as it was suing the company for copyright infringement. Some artists embraced Napster as a promotional tool. Chuck D, of Public Enemy, published a Times Op-Ed in which he praised Napster as “a new kind of radio.” The punk band the Offspring expressed its admiration by selling bootleg merchandise with the company’s logo. On the other side was the heavy-metal band Metallica, which sued the platform for “trafficking in stolen goods,” and thereby became seen—by many of their fellow-musicians as well as by listeners—as an establishment villain. Faced with too many legal challenges, Napster shut down in July, 2001. But the desire to break from traditional means of disseminating culture remained, as casual consumers began imagining an alternative to brick-and-mortar shopping and, with it, physical media. Just four months after Napster’s closure, Apple came out with the iPod.

In Sweden, where citizens had enjoyed high-speed Internet since the late nineties, piracy took on a political edge. In 2001, after a major anti-globalization protest in Gothenburg was violently put down by the police, activists formed online communities. In 2003, Rasmus Fleischer helped found Piratbyrån, or the Pirate Bureau, a group committed to flouting copyright laws. “We were trying to make something political from the already existing practice of file-sharing,” Fleischer explained to Pelly. “What are the alternative ways to think about power over networks? What counts as art and what counts as legitimate ways of using it? Or distributing money?” That year, a group of programmers associated with Piratbyrån launched the Pirate Bay, a file-sharing site that felt like a more evolved version of Napster, allowing users to swap not only music but movies, software, and video games.

Alongside Pirate Bay, file-sharing applications like LimeWire, Kazaa, and Grokster emerged to fill Napster’s void and were summarily targeted by the recording industry. Meanwhile, the music business marched forward, absorbing losses and deferring any hard decisions. So long as fans still thought of music in terms of ownership, there were still things to sell them—if not physical media, at least song files meant to be downloaded onto your hard drive. The most common model in the United States was the highly successful iTunes Store, which allowed listeners to purchase both albums and single tracks, abiding by a rough dollar-per-song value inherited from the age of LPs and CDs. “People want to own their music,” Steve Jobs said, in 2007, claiming he’d seen no evidence that consumers wanted a subscription model. “There’s definitely a hurdle with subscription because it’s not an exact replica of the model people are used to in the physical world,” Rob Williams, an executive at Rhapsody, one of the largest early-two-thousands music-subscription services, observed, in 2008.

Daniel Ek, Spotify’s C.E.O., taught himself programming as a teen-ager in Stockholm and was financially secure by his mid-twenties, when he began looking for a new project to work on. Like many, he credits Napster for providing him with a musical education. While some of his countrymen saw piracy as anarchist, a strike against big business, Ek sensed a more moderate path. He and Martin Lorentzon, both well versed in search engines and online advertising, founded Spotify, in 2006, in the hope of working with the music industry, not against it. Ek explained to a reporter, in 2010, that it was impossible to “legislate away from piracy.” The solution was making an alternative that was just as convenient, if not more. The year he and Lorentzon launched Spotify, the census showed that thirteen per cent of Sweden’s citizens already participated in file-sharing. “I’m just interested in building a company that doesn’t necessarily change lives but adapts people’s behavior,” Ek said.

Spotify benefitted from the emergence of smartphones and cheap data plans. When we are basically never offline, it no longer matters where our files are situated. “We’re punks,” Ek said. “Not the punks that are up to no good. The punks that are against the establishment. We want to bring music to every person on the face of the planet.” (Olof Dreijer, of the Swedish electronic pop group the Knife, griped to Pelly that the involvement of tech companies in music streaming represented the “gentrification” of piracy.)

Spotify made headway in Europe in the twenty-tens, capitalizing on the major labels’ seeming apathy toward committing to an online presence. It began offering plans to U.S. users in 2011—two paid tiers with no ads and a free one that, as an analyst told the Times that year, was “solidifying a perception that music should be free.” Ek sought partnerships with major labels, some of which still own Spotify stock. Around this time, a source who was then close to the company told Pelly, Spotify commissioned a study tracking the listening habits of a small subset of users and concluded that it could offer a qualitatively different experience than a marketplace like iTunes. By tracking what people wanted to hear at certain hours—from an aggro morning-workout mix to mellow soundscapes for the evening—the service began understanding how listeners used music throughout the day. People even streamed music while they were sleeping.

With all this information, Spotify might be able to guess your mood based on what time it was and what you had been listening to. Pelly argues, in fact, that its greatest innovation has been its grasp of affect, how we turned to music to hype us up or calm us down, help us focus on our homework or simply dissociate. Unlike a record label, a tech company doesn’t care whether we’re hooked on the same hit on repeat or lost in a three-hour ambient loop, so long as we’re listening to something. (This helps explain its ambitious entry into the world of podcasting, lavishing nine-figure deals on Joe Rogan and on the Ringer, Bill Simmons’s media company, as well as its recent investment in audiobooks.) Spotify just wants as much of our time and attention as possible, and a steady stream of melodic, unobtrusive sounds could be the best way to appeal to a passive listener. You get tired of the hit song after a while, whereas you might stop noticing the ambient background music altogether.

Last spring, a Swedish newspaper published a story about a little-known hitmaker named Johan Röhr, a specialist in tepid, soothing soundscapes. As of March, Röhr had used six hundred and fifty aliases (including Adelmar Borrego and Mingmei Hsueh) to release more than twenty-seven hundred songs on Spotify, where they had been streamed more than fifteen billion times. These numbers make him one of the most popular musicians in the world, even though he is not popular in any meaningful sense—it’s doubtful that many people who stream his music have any idea who he is. Spotify’s officially curated playlists seem to be a shortcut to success, akin to songs getting into heavy rotation on the radio or television. Röhr has benefitted from being featured on more than a hundred of them, with names like “Peaceful Piano” or “Stress Relief.” His ascent has raised a philosophical question about music in the streaming age: Does it even matter who is making this stuff? At least Röhr’s a real person. What about A.I.-generated music, which is increasingly popular on YouTube?

It’s tricky to make the argument that any of this is inherently bad for music fans; in our anti-élitist times, all taste is regarded as relative. Maybe Johan Röhr does, indeed, lower your stress levels. Who’s to say that A.I. Oasis is that much better or worse than the real thing? If you harbor no dreams of making money off your music, it’s never been easier to put your art out into the world. And even if we are constructing our playlists for friends under “data-tuned, ultra-surveilled” circumstances, feeding a machine data to more effectively sell things back to us, it’s a trade that most users don’t mind making. We’ve been conditioned to want hyper-personalization from our digital surroundings, with convenience and customizable environments the spoils of our age. For Pelly, it’s a problem less of taste than of autonomy—the question she asks is if we’re making actual decisions or simply letting the platform shape our behaviors. Decades ago, when you were listening to the radio or watching MTV, you might encounter something different and unknown, prompting some judgment as to whether you liked or loathed it. The collection of so much personalized data—around what time of day we turn to Sade or how many seconds of a NewJeans song we play—suggests a future without risk, one in which we will never be exposed to anything we may not want to hear.

Spotify recently projected that 2024 would be its first full year of profitability; one investment analyst told Axios that the company had “reached a level of scale and importance that we think the labels would be engaging in mutually-assured devastation if they tried to drive too hard a bargain.” Its success seems to have derived partly from cost-cutting measures: in December, 2023, it eliminated seventeen per cent of its employees, or about fifteen hundred jobs. Some music-industry groups also say that Spotify has found a way to pay less to rights holders by capitalizing on a 2022 ruling by the Copyright Royalty Board which allows services bundling different forms of content to pay lower rates.

I wonder if any of Pelly’s arguments will inspire readers to cancel their subscriptions. I remain on my family’s Spotify plan; it’s a necessary evil when part of your job involves listening to music. For all the service’s conveniences, one of my frustrations has always been the meagre amount of information displayed on each artist’s page, and Pelly’s criticisms made me think this might be by design—a way of rendering the labor of music-making invisible. Except for a brief biographical sketch, sounds float largely free of context or lineage. It’s harder than it should be to locate a piece of music in its original setting. Instead of a connection to history, we’re offered recommendations based on what other people listened to next. I’ve never heard so much music online as I have over the past few years yet felt so disconnected from its sources.

In 2020, Ek warned that “some artists that used to do well in the past may not do well in this future landscape where you can’t record music once every three to four years and think that’s going to be enough.” Rather, he suggested, artists would have to adapt to the relentless rhythms of the streaming age. I’ve long been fascinated by musicians who explore the creative tension between their own vision and the demands of their corporate overlords, making music in playful, mocking resistance of the business. A personal favorite is R.A. the Rugged Man’s “Every Record Label Sucks Dick,” which has been streamed about a quarter of a million times. Although I’ve heard many artists lament Spotify’s effect on their livelihoods, it’s hard to imagine someone channelling that animosity into a diss track. For that matter, it’s a conversation I rarely hear on podcasts—the chances of finding an audience without being present on the world’s largest distributor are slim. Instead, artists make music about the constant pressures of fame, as Tyler, the Creator, did with 2024’s “Chromakopia.” Or they try in vain to protect themselves from it, as the singer Chappell Roan, known for her theatrical take on dance pop, did this past summer. One of the breakout stars of 2024, Roan had difficulty coping with the unyielding demands of her sudden superstardom, eventually posting a TikTok begging her fans to respect her personal boundaries. The targets within the industry were once varied and diffuse, but they were identifiable. Now the pressure comes from everywhere, leaving artists to exploit themselves.

Reading “Mood Machine,” I began to regard Spotify as an allegory for life this year—this feeling that everything has never been so convenient, or so utterly precarious. I’d seldom considered the speed at which food or merchandise is delivered to my house to be a problem that required a solution. But we acclimate to the new normal very quickly; that is why it’s hard to imagine an alternative to Spotify. Rival streaming services like Apple Music deliver slightly better royalties to artists, yet decamping from Spotify feels a bit like leaving Twitter for Bluesky in that you haven’t fully removed yourself from the problem. Digital marketplaces such as Bandcamp and Nina offer models for directly supporting artists, but their catalogues seem niche by comparison.

In the past few years, artists have been using the occasion of Spotify’s Wrapped to share how little they were paid for the year’s streams. The United Musicians and Allied Workers, a music-industry trade union, was formed in 2020 in part to lobby on behalf of those most affected by the large-scale changes of the past decade. Four years later, Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Jamaal Bowman introduced the Living Wage for Musicians Act, which would create a fund to pay artists a minimum of a penny per stream. With a royalty rate at around half a cent—slightly more than Spotify pays—it would take more than four hundred and eighty thousand streams per month to make the equivalent of a fifteen-dollar-an-hour job. But the bill hasn’t made any legislative playlists.

Earlier this year, responding to questions about Spotify’s effect on working musicians, Ek compared the music industry to professional sports: “If you take football, it’s played by hundreds of millions of people around the world. But there’s a very, very small number of people that can live off playing soccer full time.” The Internet was supposed to free artists from the monoculture, providing the conditions for music to circulate in a democratic, decentralized way. To some extent, this has happened: we have easy access to more novelty and obscure sounds than ever before. But we also have data-verified imperatives around song structure and how to keep listeners hooked, and that has created more pressure to craft aggressively catchy intros and to make songs with maximum “replay value.” Before, it was impossible to know how many times you listened to your favorite song; what mattered was that you’d chosen to buy it and bring it into your home. What we have now is a perverse, frictionless vision for art, where a song stays on repeat not because it’s our new favorite but because it’s just pleasant enough to ignore. The most meaningful songs of my life, though, aren’t always ones I can listen to over and over. They’re there when I need them.

Pelly writes of some artists, in search of viral fame, who surreptitiously use social media to effectively beta test melodies and motifs, basically putting together songs via crowdsourcing. Artists have always fretted about the pressure to conform, but the data-driven, music-as-content era feels different. “You are a Spotify employee at that point,” Daniel Lopatin, who makes abstract electronic music as Oneohtrix Point Never, told Pelly. “If your art practice is so ingrained in the brutal reality that Spotify has outlined for all of us, then what is the music that you’re not making? What does the music you’re not making sound like?” Listeners might wonder something similar. What does the music we’re not hearing sound like?

PILE 1

The first card to fly out is Strength. I don’t think you realize how strong you are. I am sensing in this group that y’all finally broke a toxic cycle regarding your relationship. Your ex partner was a serial cheater. On top of being a master manipulator. You are sitting in a destructive thought pattern because now that you are finally out of there, you realize how messed up it was. Just thinking of the things you dealt with makes you sick to your stomach. The way you allow him to talk to you or even treat you makes you so mad at yourself. Because you know your IT. Your body is a tea, you get money and you have a gorgeous mind. Yet, you let a man play in your face. Like it is not enough, you let him humiliate you in front of your friend. Let’s not think about all the time wasted on him. Babe… is time to stop overthinking or may I say borderline paranoia. Now you're out here thinking everyone is at you. If this p@ssy man fu@k you up and he was not even worth it. How many times are the people around you lying, deceiving and envious of you? That type of behavior is keeping away from your soul tribe. Don’t isolate yourself full of anger and hate because this is the road to complete chaos. Nobody gets how you feel, but don't make people pay the price of a wound none other than your ex inflicted. I sense that a good way for you to heal is quite literally the opposite. Let your spark come back to you. Tune into your playful self. Tune into the nice, outgoing, jovial persona that you are. That man already took your dignity, don’t allow him to run away with your soul. Your spirit guides are reminding you to be grateful. You are sitting down crying over spilled milk, overlooking the fact that the milk has gone bad. Staying in a victim mentality because of a heartbreak instead of realizing he is the best thing you never had. Instead of feeling proud for the strength you had to end that. You are sitting morphing in melancholy because you are now lonely. No late night texts, no phone calls, no kisses, no cuddles … Babe if I may (again), is also no tracking his phone, no checking for his phone history, no asking your friend to play the FBI agent, no more begging him to treat you like a human being…At the end, I feel like i am talking to people that are close to a full glow up. People that are soon going to awaken their potential. But the more time you spend in that victim mindset, the further away is the change you are seeking for.

PILE 2 

I can’t believe this but I am fully channeling for men in this pile. Let’s get into it, sir. The cards are showing me a very focused man. I feel like you are not going through something per say but you are just feeling stuck. You actually love your life. You have your dream job, working on achieving your goals, you workout, your finances are great and not only that, you read every night before going to bed. You are a catch. This feeling of uncertainty is because there is an unbalance in your life. To have the change your soul is looking for, you need to become more playful. Go back into your community. Stop canceling at the last minute. Stop putting your phone on DND. Post more on social media, go study at a cafe or go out with the boys. You need to bring back that playful aspect of your life back. While you are going to be on your mery way , the universe is going to gift you a tower moment. Don’t stress is a woman. HAHAHA ! I swear she is not a red flag. Quite literally the opposite, she is going to come challenge your concept regarding life and how it should be lived.  You might not believe me, but the cards are showing that you will actually pursue her. You are used to the girls falling at your feet. Losing their very mind at just one look of you, but she won't care one bit. Actually she might be too busy protecting herself from you. When she’s finally going to allow you in, you are going to be so grateful for the wisdom she is going to bring. You are going to be so grateful for her chaos because the growth that is going to bring you  will be exceptional. You are going to be forever thankful for the day you met. And forever in debt for the things she taught you. But the only way to spark a change in your life and to attract that gift is to allow a bit of playfulness in your environment.

PILE 3

PILE 3, you have been trying to come in contact with me since last week. First in a 18+ reading regarding your future spouse, but in your pile you came in with old energy. You were walking in thinking about your sneaking link, which is just crazy typing it and just shows how much you actually care for the person. I was sensing that at first you were the one proposing the whole arrangement. Just so you can have a partner to try all you kinks. Put then your heart fell on the line. With a minimal respect he let you go. From what I am getting it did not please you. First let me start off by saying: GIRL GO OFF. I am seeing a people pleaser. I keep hearing ‘’Oh sweet (Name)’’ over and over again, since last week. Nobody dares to ask you out because they are too scared to break you. Nobody dares to please you right in bed because they don’t allow themself to see in that light. Which is crazy because you don’t deny your kind heart or innocent demeanor but you need people to get you as much as you get them. Exemple you: you are a sweet looking girly pop that likes to get fu@k hardcore. People put in a box, label you and treat however they see fit forgetting that you are human and not a doll. On your end, you keep up with that reputation because you are scared to fail the people around you.  No more sweet (Name) , you are coming for people's necks. And EVERYONE CAN GET IT. You don’t care about how long you know an individual, how nice they have been or how much they care about you. Is your turn to be selfish. Is your turn to speak your truth without giving a blue fu@k, a purple fu@k or a yellow fu@k. You don’t want to be a peacemaker any more. You want to be fearful and respect it. Fu@k the law of the universe ! Fu@k karma ! Where were all these people when you needed them the most? What you don’t realize is that chaos is a key point in healing. So don’t feel any guilt when everything will die down. Because DF anger is scared essence. Your spirit guides are advising to not move on. I feel like you have a bad habit of forgiving people the sec they apologies. Like they did not try to run you over with a car. Your spiritual team needs you to stand on BIG business. The cards are showing me that I am talking to people feeling a pull to enter their villain era. If you are reading this… take it as a confirmation, bestie. 

PS: I know, you  are tired of hearing this but babe you is GORG. Your face card NEVER decline

Top 100 Songs of 2024

Thanks to everyone who has followed the 2024 round-up so far, hopefully you’ve discovered something new along the way. If you’re only joining in now, then you’ve arrived at the best time. For the next part of my annual year-end collections, it’s time to share with you my favourite songs of the last 12 months, in the form of one mammoth playlist. Unlike my albums list this one is unranked and it isn’t necessarily what I think are the “best” songs of the year, but more the songs that have ultimately come to soundtrack and define my 2024 in some way.

As ever, in this year’s playlist are plenty of lesser-known gems from some of my favourite new discoveries, the year’s best album cuts, my favourite collaborations, big festival anthems, a few guilty pleasures and, of course, some of 2024’s biggest singles.

As always, for the sake of diversity, I’ve kept it to strictly one song per artist (excluding those who are also included on other tracks as features). This a rule I really wanted to break this year as there were several tracks from Fontaines and Lola Young in particular that should be on here. However, I stuck with my rules and only included one from each, to ensure I could spotlight as many different great artists as possible.

As a bonus for Apple Music users, I’ve also included my mega Best Songs: 2015-2024 playlist, which contains all my annual year-end playlists from the last decade.

So, dive in on your platform of choice, hit the shuffle button and you never know - you might find some inspiration for your own New Year’s Eve mix or your new favourite song. Enjoy!

Effective digital marketing strategies can enhance brand visibility, attract targeted audiences, and drive conversion rates. This article will explore critical digital marketing strategies and provide insights on optimizing your online presence for maximum success. Get ready to master the art of digital marketing and elevate your business to new heights.

Keyword Research: The Foundation of SEO

One of the cornerstones of a successful digital marketing strategy is search engine optimization (SEO). Conduct thorough keyword research to identify relevant search terms related to your business. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, or Moz to find keywords with high search volume and low competition. Incorporate these keywords strategically throughout your website, content, and metadata to improve your organic search rankings and attract targeted traffic.

Engaging Content Creation

Content remains king in the digital realm. Craft high-quality, engaging content that provides value to your target audience. Develop a content calendar to ensure consistent delivery across various channels, including blog posts, articles, videos, infographics, and social media posts. Use your keywords naturally within your content to optimize for users and search engines. Share your content on relevant platforms, and encourage social sharing to increase visibility and generate organic traffic.

Social Media Marketing

Leverage the power of social media platforms to expand your brand's reach and engage with your target audience. Identify the platforms where your audience is most active and create compelling profiles. Share valuable content, interact with followers, and participate in relevant conversations. Utilize social media advertising options to amplify your message and target specific demographics. Regularly analyze the performance of your social media efforts to optimize your strategy and maximize results.

Email Marketing Campaigns

Email marketing remains a highly effective tool for nurturing leads and converting them into customers. Build an email list by offering valuable incentives, such as exclusive content or discounts. Segment your email list based on demographics, interests, or previous interactions to deliver personalized and relevant content. Craft compelling email campaigns with attention-grabbing subject lines and visually appealing designs. Monitor and analyze email metrics to refine your approach and improve conversion rates.

Influencer Partnerships

Collaborating with influencers in your industry can significantly boost your brand's visibility and credibility. Identify influencers whose values align with your brand and whose audience matches your target market. Contact them for partnerships, such as sponsored posts or product reviews. Ensure that the collaboration feels authentic and provides value to its audience. Track the results of influencer campaigns to gauge their effectiveness and adjust your approach as needed.

Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising

PPC advertising allows you to reach your target audience through ads displayed on search engines and other platforms. Conduct thorough keyword research to identify relevant keywords for your campaigns. Create compelling ad copy and utilize captivating visuals to attract clicks. Set clear goals, monitor the performance of your campaigns, and make data-driven optimizations to maximize your return on investment.

Website Optimization and User Experience

A user-friendly website that offers a seamless experience is essential for retaining visitors and driving conversions. Optimize your website's loading speed, mobile responsiveness, and navigation. Ensure your website communicates your value proposition, features intuitive design, and includes clear calls to action. Regularly test and analyze your website's user behavior to identify improvement areas and increase conversion rates.

Conclusion

By implementing these digital marketing strategies, you can significantly enhance your business's online presence, attract targeted audiences, and drive conversions. Remember to conduct thorough keyword research, create engaging content, leverage social media, utilize email marketing, collaborate with influencers, implement PPC advertising, and optimize your website for a seamless user experience. Consistency, analysis, and adaptation are essential to mastering digital marketing.

For almost a decade, conservatives have insisted that we should take Donald Trump seriously, not literally. But how seriously should we take Elon Musk?

Musk, who funnelled more than two hundred and seventy million dollars into Trump’s Presidential campaign, has become somewhat ubiquitous in the weeks since the election: co-chairing a budget-cutting advisory commission called DOGE, touring Congress, and vociferously supporting the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, in Germany. Questioned about that last one—about his support for a party whose manifesto reads, in part, “Islam does not belong in Germany”—Musk replied, “The AfD policies are identical to those of the US Democratic Party when Obama took office!” Was that literal? Serious or deliberately trolling? Sincere but underinformed?

This week, it has been the turn of conservatives to try to gauge Musk’s meaning and intent. On Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson had just about finalized a short-term agreement on government spending with the Democrats, who, until Inauguration Day, still run the White House. The idea was to pass a continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown and to insure that all the bills were paid through March, when Republicans would be back in charge. And, for the sake of political tranquility, Johnson made some minor concessions to the Democrats and attached a couple of bills with bipartisan support. But, on Wednesday, Musk unleashed a torrent of more than a hundred and fifty posts on X, the social-media platform he owns, denouncing the agreement, which had the effect of making it the main subject of the world.

“Outrageous!” Musk wrote, retweeting a self-styled “Former Jan 6th Political Prisoner” who said the bill would allow Congress to block an investigation into the January 6th House select committee. “Unconscionable,” he wrote, about a claim that the stopgap spending bill would raise congressional pay by forty per cent. (The real figure was 3.8 per cent.) Many of the tweets took this form—a word of outrage, a furious emoji, regarding claims about the bill’s overreach or sheer length.

But within a few hours the effect was clear. Republican congressmen started to reply to Musk on X, saying that he had persuaded them to turn against the bill. Not long after that, Vice-President-elect J. D. Vance released a joint statement with Trump denouncing the continuing resolution, which effectively killed it, and instead pushed for a “temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS.” The statement also said that Congress should raise the debt ceiling, something that Musk hadn’t mentioned. Then both Trump and Musk threatened representatives who opposed them with primary challenges—a suggestion, maybe, of how this kind of wealth in politics could change things, even just by being invoked.

What exactly was going on here? The first gloss, offered by the Democrats, was that this had been a power play on the part of the Tesla boss, who has an ambiguous structural role in Trump’s administrative coalition but a pivotal and symbolic one. In their press releases, Democrats started to refer to “President Musk,” as if Trump were not really in charge. But this didn’t quite seem right, since Trump’s continued calls for Congress to lift the debt ceiling—a change that would end the routine brinkmanship over government shutdowns that the House G.O.P. now stages—signalled a different agenda from that of Musk and his allies.

“DOGE is focused on reducing spending and Trump seeks to lift one of the few procedural mechanisms that has a reliable track record of compelling lawmakers to pare back federal spending,” Noah Rothman, of the National Review, observed. On Thursday, Johnson hastily put together a new bill (Plan B, as it came to be known) with both Trump and Musk’s support. Plan B both radically pared down the size of the bill, seemingly appeasing Musk, while promising a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling, appeasing Trump. The debt-ceiling provision seemed to arouse the opposition of some hard-line conservatives. “We are either fiscally conservative or not,” the libertarian senator Rand Paul said, urging opposition. Thirty-eight Republicans voted against Plan B, and it died, too.

There was a hint here of what remains unresolved in the Trump coalition. For almost a decade, Trump and his allies have sought to organize it as a populist complaint against liberals and against élites. In 2024, that worked, but the coalition that powered Trump’s victory drew heavily from those less engaged in politics and who ranged, ideologically, from doctrinaire social conservatives, such as Vance, to contrarian ex-liberals, such as Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Shortly after the election, the billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel, an early but now ambivalent Trump supporter who is close with Musk, described this cadre, in an interview with the Free Press:

The left, the Democratic Party—it’s like the Empire. They’re all imperial stormtroopers, And we’re the ragtag Rebel Alliance, and it’s an uncomfortably diverse, heterogenous group. You have, I don’t know, a teen-age Chewbecca and Princess Leia-type character. Then we have an autistic C-3PO policy-wonk person. It’s a ragtag Rebel Alliance against the Empire.

More Chewbaccas than Leias, maybe. But Musk’s sudden rise and the deference that Republicans have accorded him suggest something about how uncertain, and up for grabs, the Trump agenda is. Steve Bannon, Trump’s original political guru, told Semafor this week that he was “for a dramatic increase in corporate taxes. We have got to increase taxes on the wealthy.” Though it may be hard to imagine that becoming a mainstream G.O.P. position anytime soon, it’s little easier to see the potential for some variability in the Party’s posture toward China, given that many conservatives have spent years warning of the mounting threat of the Chinese Communist Party, with whom Musk’s Tesla has crucial business relations. Are high tariffs really so certain? It might be easier to say if it were clear what Musk is most interested in—a sustained role in politics for himself, a libertarian turn for the country, or just to be proved right? It may be that Musk soon tires of politics, or politics tires of him. But this week his power seemed to be growing, and Musk appeared to be leaning in.

Although the shape of the Trump Administration remains murky, the past few days have perhaps clarified what we will spend the coming months arguing about. Money—wealth and poverty—is in the air. As the House Republicans perseverated over the continuing resolution, Luigi Mangione, charged with the murder of a health-insurance executive, was returned to New York to be arraigned, led on a perp walk in an orange jumpsuit. The same week that the Amazon C.E.O., Jeff Bezos, dined with Trump and Musk at Mar-a-Lago (“Everybody wants to be my friend,” the President-elect said, in a press conference this week), the Teamsters organized a strike at seven of the company’s hubs, just before Christmas. A billionaire is in the White House, claiming to have the interests of the working class at heart, with the world’s richest man and his plentiful conflicts of interest operating alongside him. Democrats may be a party in crisis, but they should know how to fight this.

On Friday, the crisis over the continuing resolution suddenly abated. By midday, Johnson had a new gambit, Plan C, in which government spending would be extended three months with some of the extraneous elements of the bill stripped out, and without the change to the debt ceiling that Trump and Vance had wanted. Reporters waited in a chilly Capitol for the Speaker to reveal whether they could go home for the holidays (“The Rotunda is 10 degrees colder than anywhere else in Washington,” the veteran Hill scribe John Bresnahan groused); the news was good, and they could leave. What had been accomplished, for all this drama? A few tiny, temporary cuts to programs, and the introduction of a potential new center of power in Washington. Johnson survived as Speaker, for now. Once the votes had been cast, Musk wrote on X, “The Speaker did a good job here, given the circumstances.” But the Tesla billionaire didn’t mention that the main circumstance had been himself. ♦

Contact President Biden below and demand that he,

Denaturalize and Deport criminal musk. He lied on both his U.S. Student Visa application and his U.S. citizenship application. Both are federal crimes. C'mon Democrats get a spine! Contact the White House and demand that this be done!

PPC for E-commerce: A Complete Guide to Boosting Sales and Driving Growth

As the e-commerce industry expands, competition for consumer attention has become fiercer than ever. To effectively stand out and drive traffic to your online store, Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising has become an essential tool. By targeting potential customers at every stage of their buying journey, PPC campaigns can significantly increase both visibility and sales. In this guide, we’ll break down how to implement PPC for e-commerce, along with actionable tips to maximize your returns.

Understanding PPC for E-commerce

PPC advertising involves paying a fee each time someone clicks on one of your ads. These ads are placed on search engines, social media platforms, and other sites where users may be interested in your products. For e-commerce businesses, PPC campaigns can bring targeted traffic directly to product pages, boosting the likelihood of conversions.

PPC ads can be tailored to reach specific demographics, locations, or interests, giving businesses greater control over who sees their ads and when. PPC also includes multiple formats such as Google Search Ads, Display Ads, Shopping Ads, and Social Media Ads, which makes it adaptable to various campaign objectives, from product awareness to driving sales.

Benefits of PPC for E-commerce Businesses

Quick Results: PPC campaigns can generate immediate traffic and results.             

High ROI Potential: With strategic targeting and budget control, PPC can deliver high returns by focusing on audiences likely to convert.             

Scalability: You can start small and increase your budget as you see success.

Measurable Performance: PPC provides real-time analytics that allows you to track impressions, clicks, and conversions to optimize your campaigns.

Reaching Your Target Market: With specific targeting options, you can focus on consumers who are actively searching for your products or services.

Best PPC Strategies for E-commerce

1. Google Shopping Ads 

Google Shopping Ads are essential for e-commerce. They display product images, prices, and descriptions directly on the search engine results page (SERP), making them more engaging and relevant to online shoppers. To make the most of Shopping Ads, ensure your product data feed is optimized. Use clear, high-quality images and relevant product titles and descriptions. Google uses this information to match search queries with your products, so precise descriptions help you reach a highly interested audience.

2. Remarketing Campaigns

Remarketing helps you target visitors who have previously shown interest in your products but didn’t complete a purchase. By creating tailored ads that remind them of items they viewed or abandoned in their cart, you increase the likelihood of conversions. Dynamic remarketing campaigns allow you to show personalized ads that feature specific products from your catalogue, keeping your brand and items top-of-mind for potential buyers.

3. Utilizing Social Media Ads

Social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, allow for highly detailed audience targeting. Social media ads are excellent for brand awareness, generating leads, and even retargeting website visitors. For e-commerce, carousel ads are particularly effective because they enable users to scroll through multiple products within a single ad, increasing interaction rates.

4. Keyword and Competitor Analysis

Before launching a PPC campaign, conduct thorough keyword research to determine which search terms are likely to drive relevant traffic to your site. Using tools like Google Keyword Planner can help you find high-intent keywords related to your products. Additionally, performing competitor analysis allows you to identify gaps in your strategy, adjust bids on competitive keywords, and keep a competitive edge in the SERPs.

5. A/B Testing and Optimization

Constantly test and optimize your ad copy, visuals, and calls-to-action (CTAs). A/B testing enables you to find the most effective ads and maximize performance. For instance, experiment with different headlines, descriptions, and images in Google Shopping Ads. Similarly, monitor your campaign’s performance data to adjust bids, targeting, and budgets based on what’s working.

Measuring Success in PPC

Key metrics to monitor include:

Click-Through Rate (CTR): Indicates the relevancy of your ads to the audience.

Conversion Rate: Measures how many clicks turn into sales.

Cost Per Click (CPC): Tracks spending efficiency.

Return on Ad Spend (ROAS): Measures the revenue generated from your ad spend.

By analyzing these metrics, you can continually refine your PPC strategy to improve ROI and achieve better results.

Google Ads Help to Grow Your Buisness

Mastering Google Ads: A Comprehensive Guide

As a leading Digital Marketing Agency with extensive experience in Google Ads, we understand the immense potential this platform offers for businesses of all sizes. Whether you're a small startup or an established enterprise, leveraging Google Ads effectively can be the key to driving growth, increasing brand visibility, and maximizing ROI. In this article, we’ll guide you through the intricacies of Google Ads, from setting up your first campaign to advanced optimization techniques.

1. Introduction to Google Ads

Google Ads is a powerful online advertising platform that allows businesses to reach their target audience through a variety of ad formats. Whether your goal is to generate leads, increase sales, or build brand awareness, Google Ads provides a range of tools and strategies to achieve your objectives.

2. How Google Ads Works

The Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Model: Google Ads operates on a Pay-Per-Click (PPC) model, meaning you only pay when someone clicks on your ad. This model ensures that your advertising budget is spent on potential customers who are actively interested in your products or services.

Ad Auction Process: Every time a user performs a search, Google Ads runs an auction to determine which ads will appear and in what order. The ad rank is determined by a combination of your bid amount, the quality of your ad, and the expected impact of your ad extensions.

Ad Formats: Google Ads offers a variety of ad formats, including:

Search Ads: Text ads that appear on Google search results pages.

Display Ads: Visual ads that appear on websites within Google’s Display Network.

Video Ads: Ads that appear on YouTube and other video partners.

Shopping Ads: Product-based ads that appear in Google Shopping results.

3. Setting Up a Google Ads Campaign

Creating an Account: To start using Google Ads, you need to create an account. This involves providing basic information about your business, such as your website and payment details. Once your account is set up, you can begin creating campaigns.

Choosing Campaign Objectives: Google Ads allows you to choose from several campaign objectives, such as Sales, Leads, or Website Traffic. Selecting the right objective is crucial, as it determines how your ads are optimized and where they appear.

Keyword Research and Selection: Effective keyword research is the foundation of a successful Google Ads campaign. Tools like Google’s Keyword Planner can help you identify relevant keywords that your potential customers are searching for. Selecting the right keywords ensures that your ads are shown to the right audience.

Ad Creation and Targeting: Writing compelling ad copy is essential for attracting clicks. Your ads should be clear, concise, and relevant to the user’s search intent. Google Ads also offers extensive targeting options, allowing you to reach your audience based on demographics, location, interests, and more.

Bidding Strategies: Google Ads provides various bidding strategies, including Manual CPC (Cost-Per-Click), Enhanced CPC, and Target CPA (Cost-Per-Acquisition). The choice of strategy depends on your campaign goals and budget. For example, Target CPA is ideal for campaigns focused on generating conversions.

4. Optimizing Google Ads Campaigns

Tracking and Measuring Performance: To assess the effectiveness of your Google Ads campaigns, it's crucial to set up conversion tracking. This allows you to measure actions taken by users after clicking on your ad, such as purchases or sign-ups. Key metrics to monitor include Click-Through Rate (CTR), Conversion Rate, and Quality Score.

A/B Testing: A/B testing, also known as split testing, involves running two or more variations of an ad to see which performs better. This can help you refine your ad copy, headlines, and calls-to-action to improve overall performance.

Budget Management: Effective budget management ensures that you maximize your ad spend without overspending. Google Ads allows you to set daily budgets and adjust them based on campaign performance. Allocating your budget to high-performing campaigns can lead to better results.

Continuous Optimization: Google Ads is not a “set it and forget it” platform. Regularly reviewing and optimizing your campaigns is essential for maintaining and improving performance. This might involve adjusting bids, refining keywords, or updating ad copy based on what’s working best.

5. Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them

High Competition and CPC: In competitive industries, the cost-per-click (CPC) can be high. To compete effectively, focus on improving your Quality Score by creating highly relevant ads and landing pages. Additionally, consider targeting long-tail keywords with less competition.

Ad Fatigue: Over time, users may become less responsive to your ads, a phenomenon known as ad fatigue. To combat this, regularly update your ad creatives and rotate different versions to keep your audience engaged.

Low Click-Through Rates (CTR): If your ads are not receiving enough clicks, it could indicate that they are not resonating with your audience. Improving your ad relevance, crafting stronger calls-to-action, and testing different headlines can help increase CTR.

Budget Management Issues: It’s easy to overspend on Google Ads if you’re not careful. Regularly monitoring your spend and adjusting your budgets based on performance is crucial. Focus on campaigns that deliver the best ROI and reduce spending on underperforming ones.

6. Advanced Google Ads Strategies

Remarketing: Remarketing allows you to target users who have previously visited your website but didn’t convert. By showing them tailored ads as they browse other websites, you can re-engage them and increase the likelihood of conversion.

Using Google Ads Extensions: Ad extensions provide additional information about your business, such as contact details, additional links, or promotional offers. Using extensions can improve your ad’s visibility and performance by making it more informative and appealing to users.

Automated Bidding and Smart Campaigns: Google’s automated bidding strategies use machine learning to optimize your bids in real-time, based on factors like user behavior and conversion history. Smart Campaigns are a fully automated option that can simplify campaign management, especially for small businesses.

Integration with Google Analytics: Linking your Google Ads account with Google Analytics provides deeper insights into user behavior on your website. This data can help you refine your campaigns and improve targeting by understanding how users interact with your site after clicking on your ads.

7. Case Studies and Success Stories

Examples of Successful Google Ads Campaigns: We've seen numerous success stories across various industries where Google Ads played a pivotal role in driving business growth. For instance, a client in the e-commerce sector achieved a 200% increase in online sales within six months by leveraging a combination of Search Ads and remarketing strategies.

What Can Be Learned from Failures: Not every campaign is a success, and there are valuable lessons to be learned from failures. Common pitfalls include poor keyword selection, lack of targeting, and inadequate budget management. Learning from these mistakes can help you avoid them in your future campaigns.So get attach with expertise of Imagency Media Ad Service

Gonna vent, putting it below the fold so you can skip if you want (cw: social media whining)

I am honestly devastated by the death of Twitter because suddenly this group of people I liked interacting with suddenly moved to various different places and none of them are good substitutes:

Mastodon is OK if you can build a significant network (I'd argue it's the best drop in twitter replacement of anything) but I've had issues with being harassed off instances before, we all know about general issues with instance stability (snouts.online as a prime example) and a lot of my friends didn't end up going there and finding new people isn't as easy to do with the way federation works, I feel. Also the fact that people won't join because they view issues that are a result of leadership of certain instances as a "mastodon" problem, and blame the entire framework for those issues instead of the individuals and instances that are creating them.

Tumblr is probably the place I've settled best into but very few of my friends made it over, I still don't fully integrate with the tagging culture and everything (just not used to it)... Generally things kinda feel a lot more detached. Maybe I'll get better at it.

Cohost is where a lot of my friends decided to call home, but I cannot trust the site, from the way in which the stakeholders/owners/admins of the site market it as something it isn't (for more info on this please read this thread, I think it's worded well), and how when the site owners are met with even the slightest amount of criticism for the way in which they choose to implement a thing, they go throw a huge hissy fit and tell users who aren't very active that "you don't matter anyway" and tell anyone else "fuck all of you I'm just a poor admin please stop messaging me on my personal profile that is literally shoved in every new user's face as someone to follow" (the site admins and the staff account are your first suggested accounts to follow), and then on top of all of that they have no clear path to actual sustainability in terms of the money it costs to pay 6 workers $96K USD a year and then also pay for servers and CDN costs and all the other associated things. That also isn't getting into certain content moderation decisions that I think are questionable.

Reddit always sucked but now it's virtually unusable on mobile and bots for things like sales tracking subreddits don't work and generally the place is way less vibrant now that many users just left entirely after the API-ocalipse.

I don't care about it but Bluesky has a racism problem apparently? And it's just a clone of Mastodon that's missing features and a weird per-category/general idea algorithm which means nothing performs well there unless you learn how to game that algorithm (that no one understands).

Also don't care for it but Threads is not available in the EU, likely due to data collection policies that violate privacy laws there, and that's not getting into how the platform is basically just Twitter 2 with whatever celebs aren't on Bluesky which includes all the bad parts of Twitter culture.

Twitter is a fucking hellscape now, no more comments need to be made on that.

I guess it's not the worst thing ever, because it means I use social media less, but I also feel like I just don't meet as many cool, interesting people anymore. Shit sucks.

The Republican Party platform, released ahead of this week’s Republican National Convention, contained many capitalized words—“American Patriots,” “Migrant Invasion,” “God’s Good Grace”—but none of them were “Taiwan.” It was a striking departure from the party’s track record of support for the island and left many guessing where former U.S. President Donald Trump stands on Taiwan heading into a potential second term.

Trump filled in that blank on Tuesday with characteristically blunt comments published in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek.

In the interview, conducted in late June, he cast doubt on future U.S. support for Taiwan. Asked whether the United States would come to Taiwan’s defense in the event of a Chinese attack, he answered rather elliptically, saying, “Taiwan. I know the people very well, respect them greatly.” He then added, “They did take about 100% of our chip business,” referring to high-end semiconductors, the vast majority of which are currently made in Taiwan. 

Trump went on to suggest that the answer would be conditioned on whether defending Taiwan would be a good deal economically for the United States. “Taiwan should pay us for defense. You know, we’re no different than an insurance company,” he said. “Taiwan doesn’t give us anything.”

Taipei’s representative office in Washington defended the island’s own efforts in a statement to Foreign Policy, saying, “As the threat of military coercion increases, Taiwan is doing its part by actively strengthening deterrence capabilities with the support of the United States under the Taiwan Relations Act.”

Trump’s comments undoubtedly set off new concerns in Taipei, but he has made statements in a similar vein over the past two years. 

In an interview with Fox News last summer, he said, “Taiwan did take all of our chip business,” when asked whether the United States would protect the island. And in several interviews in recent months, he has stuck closer to the traditional U.S. position of “strategic ambiguity” on defending Taiwan (unlike U.S. President Joe Biden, whose administration maintains an official policy of strategic ambiguity but who has personally said on numerous occasions that the United States would defend Taiwan). 

Like his recent comments, Trump has framed strategic ambiguity in transactional terms. In an April interview with Time, when posed the typical question about defending Taiwan, he said, “I wouldn’t want to give away any negotiating abilities by giving information like that to any reporter.”

While Trump’s latest remarks aren’t new per se, as his poll numbers climb higher and the November presidential election draws nearer, they highlight a critical open question: What might Trump’s approach to Taiwan look like in a second term? The answer hinges on whether Trump’s own America First mentality would dominate over the agenda of the China hawks in his national security orbit who are staunch defenders of Taiwan.

Looking back to his presidency offers some clues. Trump was inconsistent on Taiwan—he famously took a call from then-Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen as president-elect, breaking long-standing U.S. norms. But then he quickly tacked back to the typical U.S. talking points, recognizing the so-called “One China” policy in a subsequent call with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Many of his top foreign-policy advisors were China hawks and Taiwan supporters, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; National Security Advisor John Bolton; Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger; Peter Navarro, the director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy; and Randall Schriver, the assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific security affairs. During the course of his administration, they successfully pushed for more support for Taiwan, including the sale of F-16 fighter jets to the island, previously deemed to be too controversial. And at the very end of Trump’s presidency, Pompeo went as far as to cancel the rules barring direct communication with Taiwan.

“I think in the first term, you had a lot of people around Trump who were friendly with Taiwan [and] very skeptical about China,” said Zack Cooper, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. “It’s not clear, though, that that was Trump’s own personal view.”

Trump’s national security team in a second term would likely be more mixed on Taiwan, as several of those former key players have since distanced themselves from Trump, including Bolton and Pottinger. Voices such as Elbridge Colby, a principal at the Marathon Initiative and former Trump official who is thought to still be in Trump’s good graces, have called for a pivot from Ukraine to Taiwan, while others may fall closer in line with the Trump isolationist impulse. 

“I think that’s the core tension within the Trump circle,” Cooper said. Which direction the administration might swing depends on Trump himself and his level of involvement. Trump has already proposed launching a new trade war with China, and he is likely to be very involved in shaping economic policy toward China overall, but it is unclear how directly he would engage in Taiwan policymaking.

If Trump’s own views were to prevail in a second term, Taiwan would likely be in for a rocky four years trying to prove its worth to the president. “Contrary to what some analysts argue, there isn’t an Indo-Pacific exception in Trump’s version of ‘America first,’” Hal Brands, a political scientist at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, argued in a recent essay in Foreign Affairs.

Under the Trump-centric Taiwan foreign policy, several scenarios could unfold. On defense, Trump spoke critically of Taiwan treating the United States like an insurance company in his conversation with Businessweek, but his comment that Taiwan “should pay us for defense” suggests he may mostly be interested in securing a higher premium for U.S. support. 

What kind of payment would Trump be looking for? During his presidency, Trump called for South Korea and Japan to cover a much higher share of the costs for U.S. bases in both countries, but very few U.S. troops are stationed in Taiwan. Taipei already buys billions of dollars’ worth of weapons from Washington, but Trump might consider cutting off new foreign military aid to Taiwan approved under Biden. He would also likely push for Taiwan to increase its military spending, up from 2.6 percent of its GDP today, as his former National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien suggested recently. 

On chips, the Taiwanese government has pushed back on Trump’s claims of unfairness. In an interview with Foreign Policy this month, Alexander Yui, Taiwan’s representative to the United States, said, “Between Taiwan and the U.S., we’re partners in terms of that industry. … The United States is very good at chip design, and we’re very good at manufacturing.” He also referenced the three massive semiconductor factories that Taiwanese tech giant TSMC plans to build in Arizona.

However, Trump’s repeated comments begrudging Taiwan’s semiconductor dominance suggest that he is unsatisfied with the status quo and may push for more domestic chip manufacturing. “Trump has made it clear—he’s going after chips,” said Jason Hsu, a former Taiwanese legislator who is now an Edward Mason fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School. “TSMC could bear the consequences of Trump’s political rhetoric.”

A final scenario that some experts say could unfold if Trump were to dominate Taiwan policy and take it in the most transactional direction is that he could trade Taiwan’s future away in some kind of grand economic bargain with China. The terms of such a deal and its likelihood are far from clear, but experts point to Trump’s past remarks in private diminishing Taiwan’s significance as a sign that such a scenario might be possible.

But Taiwan has some “aces up its sleeve” to head off worst-case scenarios under a Trump administration, argued Craig Singleton, the director of the China program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. 

“Taiwan’s major semiconductor investments in important battleground states, like Arizona, and its substantial military hardware purchases highlight the island’s strategic importance,” Singleton said. “Taiwan also enjoys steadfast bipartisan backing on Capitol Hill, which could prove helpful in navigating choppy diplomatic waters.”

Real Estate PPC Advertising: A Way to Successfully Promote Your Property

Real Estate Advertisement

Advertisers frequently prefer 7Search PPC when promoting their real estate businesses. For our clients' improvement, our ad network is renowned for running the most attractive and cost-effective real estate advertisements.

Want to use a reliable ad network to market your real estate business?  7Search PPC may be the ideal choice for you.

Real estate salespeople today must compete in an increasingly cutthroat market where traditional advertising may not be enough. Real estate PPC  advertising  has become an effective technique to stand out and draw potential buyers and sellers. We'll go into the realm of PPC advertising for real estate in this article, examining what it is, why it's important, and how you can use it to succeed in the sector.

Understanding Real Estate PPC Advertising

Digital marketers can display their adverts on a variety of online platforms, including search engines and social media networks, by using pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. It is a cost-effective and results-driven strategy because advertisers only pay a fee when their advertisement is clicked.

PPC advertising is used in the real estate sector to create tailored ads that show up when people search for particular real estate-related keywords, such as "homes for sale in [city]" or real estate agents   in [neighborhood]." These advertisements may appear on social networking sites like Facebook, search engine results pages like Google, and even real estate listing websites.

Why PPC Advertising for Real Estate Is Important

Instant Visibility: PPC advertising gives your listings and services instant visibility. As soon as you start a campaign, your advertisements will start to show up in front of prospective customers who are already looking for properties or real estate advertising services.

Marketing that is Targeted: PPC enables you to focus on a certain demographic, geography, or term. Your ability to target the appropriate audience and increase conversion rates is made possible by this precision.

Results that are quantifiable: PPC advertising provides in-depth statistics. Metrics like click-through rates, conversion rates, and ROI may be tracked, allowing you to improve the performance of your campaigns.

Budget Control: PPC gives you total command over your spending. To make sure you don't overpay on advertising, you can set daily or monthly expenditure caps.

Creating a Successful PPC Campaign for Real Estate

Start by conducting in-depth keyword research to find the terms prospective customers in your area use to look for properties or real estate services. To find appropriate keywords, use tools like Google Keyword Planner.

Ad Copy That Grabs Attention: Write attention-grabbing copy that promotes your USPs (unique selling points). Mention any promotions, your area of specialty, or any special listings you may have.

Landing Pages: Make sure your real estate ads connect to specific, pertinent landing pages on your website. The properties or services that are being advertised in the PPC campaign should be covered in great detail on these sites.

Using geotargeting, you can display your advertising to users in particular cities, neighborhoods, or ZIP codes.

Use ad extensions to give users more information and nudge them towards taking action (e.g., site link extensions, callout extensions).

Regular Monitoring: Keep an eye on your PPC campaigns at all times. To maximize performance, tweak bids, ad text, and targeting parameters as necessary.

A/B testing: Try out many ad iterations to see which components—like headlines, pictures, or call-to-action buttons—perform the best.

Conclusion

For  real estate professionals  wishing to improve their online visibility, draw in qualified leads, and boost their overall business success, real estate PPC advertising offers a powerful answer. You may fully utilize PPC advertising in the cutthroat real estate industry by completing thorough research, producing attractive ads, and routinely optimizing your campaigns. Always remember that the keys to success in the realm of digital advertising are flexibility and data-driven decision-making.

SAG-AFTRA and WGA Strikes

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and The Screen Actor's Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artist (SAG-AFTRA) are currently on strike against The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The strike began in May when over 11,000 WGA members went on strike. Then in mid-July, over 160,000 SAG-AFTRA members joined the strike along side them. The main concerns have been with residual payments during the age of streaming, the use of Artificial Intelligence, higher pay and better working conditions. Currently, there appears to be no end in sight. With many speculating that this strike could easily go into 2024 before an agreement is reached.

How did it come to this?

Over the past 15 year years, there has been a revolution in the consumption media. Cable television slowly faded as the age of streaming services began in the early 2010s. By 2019, streaming services were the majority of how the general public consume television and movies. During the days of cable television, the main revenue for a show or film were commercial sponsors and viewership numbers. These revenue streams are regulated by the The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which forced cable networks to release accurate viewership numbers and commercial sponsorship values. If violated, the network could face massive fines and could even be shut down. Furthermore, physical media sales and rentals of film and television series was also easily tracked to determine revenue. This caused a steady revenue in residuals for all in production and a consistent work schedule.

Then in 2007, a company called Netflix, released began it's streaming model, moving away from DVD rentals. It was a subscription service, where one would pay a flat fee per month, to watch all the content available on their site with no extra fee. However, in 2013, Netflix changed the game with the release of House of Cards, Netflix's first original series. Which was only available on their streaming platform. Thus causing the streaming wars to being, with numerous production companies launching their own services. These services are not under FCC regulations so their viewership numbers, began to become confusing and conflicting. Which caused residuals to drop dramatically. As well as workers having less consistent schedules now they were only working on 10 episodes instead of 20+ episodes with much longer breaks between seasons becoming a norm.

With the drop in residuals and now work become less common and more inconsistent, many resorted to taking side jobs such as being Uber drivers or waiters to make ends meets. To add to the pain, working now became more difficult and strenuous. With acting, long days with long audition periods were expected. But, with the rise of nepotism and tape/Zoom auditions, becoming a seen actor is now harder than ever. Especially when social media is now a factor to if you get casted. For writers, mini-rooms have become normalized. In a typical writers room, several writers work on creating a series, then pitch the pilot and a handful of episodes to executives to see if it becomes green-lit. If accepted, the series would move forward with these writers involved. If not they started again. In a mini-room it's only three writers plus a showrunner, who write and pitch the show. If the show is green-lit, the writers would most likely not be involved with the show in the future. If the show is rejected, then they are no longer employed. Thus causing, new writers to be stuck in mini-rooms with no potential for growth.

However, the biggest new growth in the industry is the rise of Artificial Intelligence. Over the past five years there has been a boom in the artificial intelligence industry. From Deepfakes, to ChatGDP and AI art, Artificial Intelligences seems to be everywhere despite only becoming public in the past 2 years. Now productions companies have begum experimenting with AI by using it for screenplays, art deign , and background extras. Thus putting workers in these areas at risked of being replaced by AI. Studios are not slowing down when it comes to the use of AI and with no government regulation of AI in sight, many are left pondering if AI will now be the future for not only the entertainment industry, but all industries around the world. You think after numerous cautionary tales such as The Terminator, The Matrix, Westworld, Dune, and many others, you think scientist and companies would stop pursuing AI due to the horrors it can unleash.

Why This Strike is Important.

This strike is ultimately going to determine the future of the entertainment industry for decades to come. If those on strike fail and lose their battle against the AMPTP, the entertainment industry will change forever. Not only will many industry professionals would lose their jobs to AI. There will be a massive drop of quality in mainstream media content. As well a rise of unscripted, reality content. If you think film and television are in a creative ruck right now, it will be nothing compared to if the AMPTP wins this strike. Filmmaking will lose it's status as an art form and will be seen as nothing more than content and clicks to the AMPTP. If you want to see a rise in quality film and television shows, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA must win this strike.

Government Intervention?

Depending on the length of this strike, there is a possibility of the United States government intervening. It has been seen multiple times in US history where the government will intervene in a strike to help bring it to an end or to prevent it. If this strike does go into 2024, I have no doubt that the US government will be brought in to intervene. Especially if it is true that studio executive are planning on starving out the WGA and SAG-AFTRA to the point where they lose their homes. The Department of Justice (DOJ) will immediately intervene if this is the case given that it is illegal in the US to withhold union negations. Furthermore, the US government may possibly regulate the use of Artificial Intelligence. Currently there is a Bill being created "AI Bill of Rights", that will begin government regulation of Artificial Intelligence. However, the biggest intervention that might happen is the FCC overruling its 2018 ruling that streaming services such as Netflix, YouTube, HBO, etc. are not subject to FCC regulations. If this ruling is overruled, than streaming services will be forced to release their accurate viewership numbers. However, only time can till if the US Government will intervene with this strike.

Public Perception.

It is the truth that the public perception regarding this strike has been mixed to say the least. Hollywood is notoriously wealthy, toxic, and being out of touch with reality. This stereotype is true however, it is because a very small vocal minority paints the picture of what society thinks of Hollywood. Many working in the industry are regular folks just working to make ends meet. The strikes have to overcome this stereotype in order to get more of the general public on their side. Furthermore, when these professionals do work, they make really good money. A minimum pay for a staff writer is over $5,000 and over $70,000 for a script for a small budget film. For an actor, depending on the budget for the film, can earn between $2,400-3,700 for minimum pay. These professional do make good money, but only when they work. This is another obstacle that those on strike have to overcome in order to get the public on their side. The last obstacle that the strikers face is how they handle criticism against their shows and films. Over the past couple of years, writers, actors, and directors have been becoming more and more deflective against criticism for their work. They have resorted to the tactic of gaslighting critics by calling them stupid, racist, sexist, homophobic, and patently evil for not liking their film or show. This practice needs to end, and these writers, directors, and actors needs to own up to their work when it is not positively received. They need to stop attacking the audience.

The Future.

Right now the future is uncertain. If the strikers fail, many would lose their jobs and entering the entertainment industry will be harder than ever. If the strikers win, then the landscape of the industry will change and there should be a creative renaissance. However, what is certain is that there is going to be an industry boom in Independent and Foreign Cinema. Both of these have been in a renaissances over the past couple of years. But, now with large budget movies on hold, they now have the opportunity to become mainstream. More of the general public will watch indie and foreign films, which will give birth to a creative golden age. However, those are just speculations. Both the strikers and the AMPTP have a hourglass of how long they can withstand the strike. The question of who will give in first is unknown and only time can tell on who will become and victor and determine the future of the entertainment industry.

PPC for E-commerce: A Complete Guide to Boosting Sales and Driving Growth

As the e-commerce industry expands, competition for consumer attention has become fiercer than ever. To effectively stand out and drive traffic to your online store, Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising has become an essential tool. By targeting potential customers at every stage of their buying journey, PPC campaigns can significantly increase both visibility and sales. In this guide, we’ll break down how to implement PPC for e-commerce, along with actionable tips to maximize your returns.

Understanding PPC for E-commerce

PPC advertising involves paying a fee each time someone clicks on one of your ads. These ads are placed on search engines, social media platforms, and other sites where users may be interested in your products. For e-commerce businesses, PPC campaigns can bring targeted traffic directly to product pages, boosting the likelihood of conversions.

PPC ads can be tailored to reach specific demographics, locations, or interests, giving businesses greater control over who sees their ads and when. PPC also includes multiple formats such as Google Search Ads, Display Ads, Shopping Ads, and Social Media Ads, which makes it adaptable to various campaign objectives, from product awareness to driving sales.

Benefits of PPC for E-commerce Businesses

Quick Results: PPC campaigns can generate immediate traffic and results.             

High ROI Potential: With strategic targeting and budget control, PPC can deliver high returns by focusing on audiences likely to convert.             

Scalability: You can start small and increase your budget as you see success.

Measurable Performance: PPC provides real-time analytics that allows you to track impressions, clicks, and conversions to optimize your campaigns.

Reaching Your Target Market: With specific targeting options, you can focus on consumers who are actively searching for your products or services.   

Best PPC Strategies for E-commerce

1. Google Shopping Ads 

Google Shopping Ads are essential for e-commerce. They display product images, prices, and descriptions directly on the search engine results page (SERP), making them more engaging and relevant to online shoppers. To make the most of Shopping Ads, ensure your product data feed is optimized. Use clear, high-quality images and relevant product titles and descriptions. Google uses this information to match search queries with your products, so precise descriptions help you reach a highly interested audience.

2. Remarketing Campaigns

Remarketing helps you target visitors who have previously shown interest in your products but didn’t complete a purchase. By creating tailored ads that remind them of items they viewed or abandoned in their cart, you increase the likelihood of conversions. Dynamic remarketing campaigns allow you to show personalized ads that feature specific products from your catalogue, keeping your brand and items top-of-mind for potential buyers.

3. Utilizing Social Media Ads

Social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, allow for highly detailed audience targeting. Social media ads are excellent for brand awareness, generating leads, and even retargeting website visitors. For e-commerce, carousel ads are particularly effective because they enable users to scroll through multiple products within a single ad, increasing interaction rates.

4. Keyword and Competitor Analysis

Before launching a PPC campaign, conduct thorough keyword research to determine which search terms are likely to drive relevant traffic to your site. Using tools like Google Keyword Planner can help you find high-intent keywords related to your products. Additionally, performing competitor analysis allows you to identify gaps in your strategy, adjust bids on competitive keywords, and keep a competitive edge in the SERPs.

5. A/B Testing and Optimization

Constantly test and optimize your ad copy, visuals, and calls-to-action (CTAs). A/B testing enables you to find the most effective ads and maximize performance. For instance, experiment with different headlines, descriptions, and images in Google Shopping Ads. Similarly, monitor your campaign’s performance data to adjust bids, targeting, and budgets based on what’s working.

Measuring Success in PPC

Key metrics to monitor include:

Click-Through Rate (CTR): Indicates the relevancy of your ads to the audience.

Conversion Rate: Measures how many clicks turn into sales.

Cost Per Click (CPC): Tracks spending efficiency.

Return on Ad Spend (ROAS): Measures the revenue generated from your ad spend.

By analyzing these metrics, you can continually refine your PPC strategy to improve ROI and achieve better results.
