Up Your Media - Internet Marketing Solutions
"Be On The Forefront"

Up Your Media is a local leader in the field of online marketing, e-commerce and internet traffic generaton. Our aim is to help bring your product or service to a global and/or local marketplace according to your unique and specific goals, attracting surfers and creating customers.
We work with large and small Vancouver Island businesses, artisans, and innovative tourist operations, helping them to understand where and how they can make the internet work for them. We can help you with traditional search engine optimization (SEO) and ebay marketing, as well as modern Web 2.0 marketing techniques including Youtube, Myspace and Facebook.

Media and marketing expert Dan LaRocque has over a decade's experience in search engine optimization through meta tag creation and link exchange campaigns.

Here are some examples of our recent campaigns:

  1. Facebook account, group and YouTube video for our good friend Mike Dick and Stark Raving Tattoo. The first vid I shot for Mike has been viewed over 4000 times on Youtube, the most recent is watched 10-20 times a day. The Facebook account encourages easy communication, picture uploading and worldwide networking. All of these strategies include a very valuable outside link to his website Starkravingtattoo.com.
  2. Our newest major project, Vingo.ca. It's my own sleek and powerful Vancouver Island tourism and business directory. I'm supporting the project with a combined campaign of youtube movies, a blog on google-owned blogspot, myspace account with added groups, photos and video, lonelyplanet and craigslist forum postings, yahoo-owned flickr galleries, and more. Content is king, and outside links are vital to a successful web-traffic campaign.
  3. And of course, our flagship campaign for Shining Sun Gardenworks, a business we've built and promoted since 2002. The site began as a metal art cottage industry. Presently receiving over 500 visits and 2 online sales per day, it's shipped items everywhere in North America and has become a major international manufacturing operation.
