Internet Marketing and Call Tracking

In all my years of consulting and providing internet marketing strategies to my own clients, my absolute favorite measuring tool has always been call tracking. I love call tracking because there is simply no denying the data - especially if you get the kind of call tracking that records the phone call. You listen to the call and have that "ah ha" moment. You find yourself saying, "Oh. Mr. Turner found us online. He didn't mention that when he called." [...]

I was recently explaining to a client that the best way to determine if a link is good or not is to ask this question: "If it weren't for SEO and link juice and PageRank, would I still want the link?" And if the answer is "yes", it's probably a good link. Because answering yes to that question means that you're not just acquiring the link in order to impress Google's search algorithm in an effort to rank higher. It [...]

Has Google Made the Web Boring?

I was recently talking with a client who really likes his website. He feels it's creative and beautiful and a great experience for his potential customers. He's right. It is a cool site - colorful, vivid, interesting. There's not a square button in site... on the site. One problem - the site doesn't rank for his keywords. Even in the small neck of the woods where he is, without a ton of local competition, he's struggling to rank. And here's [...]

Video for Small Business? Heck Yes!

Before you shrug off the idea of video for your small business, let’s look at some compelling reasons why video is important. 52% of consumers say that watching product videos makes them more confident in their online purchase decisions.
