After attending the Search Marketing seminar in NYC and listening to how “great” ASK.com is from the keynote speaker Barry Diller … we’ve decided to jump on board and try Ask.com ……. we actually got a $100 bonus gift from ASK … so here we go.

Do You Get Hit With The “Loyalty Fee”? »

It’s kind of funny but isn’t it “amazing” that being a loyal customer will “with most companies” cost you money? Confused? Dazed? Buzzled?

Stop Hiding Behind Your Website … Increase Conversion Rate »

I’ve been saying this for a long time and apparently it’s been tested and proved by the guys at “MarketingExperiments”.
Showing your face to your visitor is a winning strategy (well … unless you scare people … but that’s a different story).

Google Won’t Like You if You Use AdSense? »

It seems that Google does not favor sites that have AdSense ads on that page they want to be ranked for. How often do you see a highly ranked site on Google that has AdSense running on that page?

Trade Show Disasters »

Every time I attend a trade show I see the same thing, over and over, and over again. …….. Cute Slogans that don’t mean a thing or 15 bullet lists of what the company does.
I attended the Search Engines Strategies show in NYC few months ago and can say that it was pretty good. I’d […]

Search Engine Optimization = Marketing ? Why the Hell are we fighting them? »

Think about it …… they (Search Engines) can’t succeed if they don’t produce quality results for people and we, site owners and marketers can’t succeed if we don’t show quality to the visitor … so why are we so worried about search engines when the ones we should be pleasing are the visitors?
Isn’t it common sense […]
