The other day, my wife asked me if I knew why she was seeing so many display ads online related to insurance. I told her that “Big Brother” was watching her search history and serving up ads based on what she was most interested in. Note: My wife is an insurance adjustor and her search history clearly speaks to that. I seem to get a lot of ads related to internet marketing, Jeeps and beaches. Imagine that. Anyway, the “third [...]

Social Media? Really? I've always been more of a search guy. It's true. I'm all about getting business owners on the first page of Google. That's what I'm good at. SEO, PPC, Link Building. That's the world I'm most comfortable in because that's a world where I can measure results and prove value. I've been slow to accept social media as a business tool but last fall I finally saw the light. That's when I attended a digital media conference [...]

The problem is, a lot of folks are signing up for the obligatory account and then not really taking advantage of it. And why should they? Except for CIRCLES, it's pretty much the same thing as Facebook (to the average user, at least.) I would argue that if all [...]

It's the million dollar question - why are your competitors' sites ranking better on the search engines? The answer is nearly always one of the following: 1) Their website is more relevant. They have more content on their site about the given keyword for which they are beating you on the SERP. Or maybe their content is fresher than yours. How to beat the competition: Add lots of your own fresh, relevant, quality content. Consider blogging or updating your news [...]
Google kinda loves three things these days. Links, fresh content and video. I could go on and on about the importance of video and how much Google's bots seem to favor pages with video, but I'd rather just show you the video I recently commissioned. (For less than $50) It's a little silly and cheesy, but hey, so am I. :) [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjPlF7beBgM&w=560&h=315]
