I really liked this article and felt it fit the theme of my blog, so please enjoy.The Hungry Little Spider An SEO Bedtime Story By Scottie Claiborne© 2004 Once upon a time, in a land called WWWebdom, there lived a little spider. It was a hungry little spider and it liked to munch up web pages and then keep track of which ones it liked best, so it could tell other people just how good they were. The little spider [...]
Before I tackle this subject, I’d like to remind my readers that I am not the expert. For more accurate information on Geo-Targeting your AdWords campaign, look elsewhere. But if you’re interested in the “Let’s Translate – Making Sense Out of Internet Gobbledygook” version, read on. Great, you’re still reading. 🙂 This all came about when I was researching the campaign of a local business here in KC. I found that if I searched for their business using a geo-modifier [...]
I had to post this email I just got from Chick-fil-A. I'm very impressed with the way they have married their email marketing efforts with their facebook strategy. Good stuff.
I get asked a lot why I think that businesses need video on their web sites. So I'm going to show you a handful of examples of websites using video in an effective manner. But first, consider this.

I've actually forced them under threat of no dessert to take "at least a bite" of whatever I put on their plate.

Because my field is "Internet Advertising", I get to talk with a lot of business owners. Something that I have observed is that there seems to be an "evolution" they all go through when it comes to marketing their business online. It's not unlike the guy who started out with a pager on his belt in in 1988, got himself a big candy bar cell phone in 95, upgraded to a cool flip phone in 03, and is now getting [...]
We’re in Miami. It’s Friday night and we want to go out to the hottest club in town, Club Google. So we get all dressed up and head downtown. But when we get there, there’s a long line to get in. As we get into this line we notice that some people are walking right up to the bouncer and getting in without having to wait. In fact, the line we’re in doesn’t seem to be moving at all. I [...]

Because you and your family will be staying a few days, your goal is to know everything you can about that kitchen and all of its contents in the event that someone asks you where something is.
