Eliminate Keyword Research with Keyword Spy
Here’s a service that I like. Keyword Spy is an online service that you can use to see what key words and ad variations your competition is using to drive traffic to their site and what the most profitable ones are.
Plain and simple, the value proposition for me is that you can take advantage of [...]
Amazon Launches Page Recommender Widget
Finally. This widget is something that makes a lot of sense and it one of the better contextual ad products I’ve seen in a while. I like it because it works with each of the pages that is loaded, rather than just keywords within only the site itself.
Microsoft Tricks People Into Confessions about Vista
While at the same time creating some pretty good video content for their site called the Mojave Experiment. Users are asked to candidly rate Vista, whether they would upgrade to it, etc., and the responses are overwhelmingly negative.
Promote Your Blog with Video at Blog Gears
Blog Gears just launched a site that I think is going to help bloggers (and others) promote themselves with something that I have been talking about for a while - video. Blog Gears allows you to upload a video up to 90 seconds in length and target it to a specific audience who then vote [...]
New Blog Theme Rocking Out Soon
Just a quick post to let everyone know that I am going to be rolling out a new blog theme this coming week. I’ve just finished testing and assessing Michael Pollock’s new new Vybe theme theme from Solostream Media[...]
Should You Blog Under Your Own Name?
The concept of putting yourself out there on the web really seems to freak some people out. Admittedly, when I started this blog project, I too was little wigged out blogging with a domain that is my own name or that I might forever hamstring myself professionally. Also, fear of strange people [...]
Small is a Weapon, Not an Excuse
So said Seth Godin, in a post about his experience dealing with a small vendor through Amazon. Seth goes on to say a few things that I have been screaming about for years when it comes to small vs. big businesses. In his post he says: “The web is a great equalizer. A tiny business can have a better website than a huge [...]
There is A New Search Engine in Town Called Cuil
It’s about time someone took a grassroots run at Google. I was just having this conversation last week when I was in California about how people who work for large corporations see better ways to do things and then go out and do them by themselves. It seems even the cool Google can’t [...]
A Week In California
A few of you wondered what happened to me last week. Well, it was the first week since I started the blog that I didn’t make one entry. This was deliberate. In fact, I was in California on business. I flew out of Vancouver to San Francisco and spent a few days there meeting with prospective clients. This visit was followed up by [...]
Box.net File Sharing and Collaboration
Here is some cool technology.
I’ve been looking for a way to put some of my many, excessive photos into a simple to use, Flash-based light box, so that I don’t have scroll down for posts with tons of pics.
The problem with a lot of the options out there right now is that they require more [...]
Cyber Libel
Think twice before you hit that publish button. The internet is not anonymous. What if that was you they wrote about?
Maybe you should not say it.
I’ve seen a few posts this week where people have crossed the line with some nasty statements…some libelous content. I wrestled with [...]
Blog Post Frequency - is Anyone Really Watching?
Whoa. There sure is a lot of opinion out there about how often people should be posting to the blogoshere. Daily. Hourly. Does anybody really care?
What matters? What matters to you?
What difference does it make? I’m saddened by how much of it is plagiarized anyway. It’s hard [...]
PS Your Blog is Dead
So said said James Kirkwood.
Is your blog dead?
Mine is. Sort of. Because I never set out to make money blogging, I did set out to learn some things about increasing traffic and rules of the road for driving traffic for one of my corporate clients.
I’ve learned that traffic is finite. Very finite. It’s also [...]
Firefox Browser Downloads Set New World Record
The world’s new favorite web browser is Firefox.
I use it as my default browser. In fact I’m using it right now to type out this post. It can do everything the Internet Explorer can do…and in most cases, it can do it better.
It never crashes on me, it loads extremely fast and has some very [...]
