Ask not what your search engine can do…
I’m a fan of the underdog. If I don’t have a vested interest in a football game, I’ll quietly go against the favorite because I like competition better. Ask.com has never been a big player but more of an innovator and have done some interesting things through the years. The concept of a user actually [...]
Philadelphia or Phila online marketing
I was a speaker last week at the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce for 2 1/2 hours talking about Internet marketing as an overview. Most of you know I could talk 2 1/2 hours on most anything but this was challenging to cover at least on the surface many facets of a full Internet marketing [...]
Local Search growing pains, pains me.
I’m not sure if that’s the correct title or not, I ask myself whether or not “growing” should be included. I’m going to expand on a previous post on this blog that looked at Local Search and want to shed some light from both a user and an advertisers perspective.
I’ve been delving a little deeper [...]
Stumbling on Happiness, Stumbling on Customers?
The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness..
You have to catch it yourself. Benjamin Franklin
We all like to imagine that customers will respond in droves to our advertising and marketing efforts. Why else would we spend so much time and energy trying to generate sales? [...]
Darth Vader was right… Technology will not save you.
The scene is classic to the point of being mythic, as well as a good example of why George Lucas should stop writing dialogue, but that is another blog. Depending on how you count in the first or fourth Star Wars movie Darth Vader is in the General’s conference room. There is an all [...]
The Queen on YouTube
That’s right HRH has taken the plunge and set up (apparently she did it herself) a channel on YouTube.com to regale us with her tales and speeches from yore. She’s already made quite a splash, earning #54 – Most Subscribed (This Month), #13 – Most Subscribed (This Month) – Directors, #43 – Most Viewed [...]
What is Social Media Marketing?
One of the biggest things to come out of this year is social media…well it actually came out a few years ago but its adoption was far greater this year and will most likely continue. We offer this to our clients (not a lot have taken us up on it) and have seen some great [...]
Free Keyword Research Tools of Choice
It’s nearly been a year since my favorite keyword research tool Overture stopped being updated so I thought I might share some of the tools that I’ve discovered since. I liked Overture for its ease of use. Sure, it was a little unreliable at times but I would always forgive.
You’ll notice that it still says [...]
StumbleUpon Google
I’m an early adopter but sometimes things slip by me. Yesterday we looked at Google experimenting with personalizing their results and I suggested that they would do better following a concept like StumbleUpon.com. Funnily enough today I discovered this link at the top of my search results page:
and wondered where that came from. That is, [...]
Google getting Social? Maybe. Google getting personal. Definitely
Google are constantly experimenting with new features which we always enjoy checking out. Some work, some don’t. This latest one really struck me as being a feature that they will most certainly adopt. Borne out of the popularity of sites like www.digg.com and www.reddit.com where users can vote a story up or down (indicating whether [...]
