Local Search and the 10-Box

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

I think that an even hotter button right now than “Social Media”, may be “Local Search“. If you don’t agree, stay tuned then. It’s my prediction and I put money on it by purchasing a couple of domain names this morning. So, what is “Local Search”?
Fact is, over 75% of searches for information on local [...]

LinkedIn – Ignore It At Your Peril

Friday, September 11th, 2009

LinkedIn was actually launched back in 2003, but had a slow following until the recent popularity of social media sites for business.  With more than 46 million users worldwide, LinkedIn is most frequently used as a way of networking with business colleagues and potential employers and employees.  In the past it was considered bad form [...]

Another Video Post – But this time I made it…

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Yes – While I’ve been called a hypocrite many times, I try very hard with the business stuff.  I can’t very well keep telling clients that they need to be on YouTube when I have no presence there whatsoever.  I actually started making some videos several months ago for some affiliate marketing campaigns but became [...]

Social Media and Porn – We’re Not Discussing It…But Our Kids Are

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Is There SEO Value in Twitter?

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Actually, Yes.   I didn’t brainstorm all of this myself though – I’m not that smart.  There’s a lot of discussion going around on this very subject and I’m just consolidating here. 
SEO in general is usually thought to involve a lot of link-building campaigns, which in turn moves a site up in the rankings with the [...]

What is Black Hat SEO?

Monday, June 29th, 2009

It’s mentioned in articles and forums all the time and there seems to be a lot of mystery surrounding just what these techniques are.    It’s really no big secret so I thought I’d list some of the most common “black hat” SEO methods just to satisfy curiosity.  Let me just say this, though.   We DON”T [...]

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

How often do you check your web traffic condition? If your response is never, then it is time you begin doing so. Evaluating and analyzing your website’s success is an essential step which is often neglected by many website owners. Your sales might be pretty solid for your website but without the knowledge of your [...]

Using Your Content for Internet Marketing

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Yawn.  There is a great deal of writing on the Internet today which is really boring and does not interest people.  The principal behind SEO copywriting is that you are seeking to impress both the search engines as well as the individuals who are surfing the Web and stumble upon your page.  You don’t get a [...]

SEO – What You Should Expect – PART II

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

I left off last time with a few notes on viral marketing.  That will really be a whole blog post in and of itself in the near future but, just to note before moving on.  It’s powerful! 
Video and audio clips, online games/quizzes/polls, podcasts and offering e-cards can have a viral effect for your website – [...]
