My NASCAR Theory of SEO and Internet Marketing
Which is better: a 100% custom website or a customized “stock” solution? I’d vote for the customized stock solution over the 100% custom solution any day. And here’s why…
I have a strong aversion to Version 1 code installs. I’d rather version 2, and 3 is better - 4.5 is better still. 100% custom coding is always V1 and first generation code sucks. It’s buggy. It’s usually incomplete. It has user interface issues. The error trapping is rubbish. It locks up. It crashes. Want proof?
FREE Web 2.0 Manual (eBook)
It doesn’t matter how well it’s written, not everyone wants to “curl up with a good blog,” some prefer a more traditional model when it comes to reading.
Blogs are brilliant for many things, but sometimes it’s just nice to read (and study) in a more familiar format using regular sized pages of easy-to-read 12 point black text on a crisp white page (with a few colourful pictures for good measure.)
Well here it is, Your FREE Web 2.0 Manual…
Don’t Change Your Email Address Without Planning First
Don’t change your email address without planning it first. Why? Because all your hard work connecting with others immediately gets placed in jeopardy and those emails you sent (which used to get delivered OK) will now face the wrath of the spam filters unless you consider the following plan…
SEO Technology Environment - It’s TIME ™
SEO Technology Environments are a fusion of many things: keyword analysis market research, user interface design, clean coding, SEO copywriting, technology knowledge, inter-personal management skills, and a constant watch on the ever evolving landscape that is SEO and Internet Marketing.
Being found online and then getting noticed is not quite as easy as some people would have you believe. - and it’s not “a few hundred bucks,” nor is it something that happens overnight - it takes time. However, “Getting Found, Getting Noticed and Getting More Busine$$!” is possible if you follow a systematic process. And a few years ago I began developing a system to do just that, I called it TIME ™ - the Tactical Internet Marketing Environment.
Look Ma… Twittering Can Make You Famous
This morning I was exploring my usual online haunts and for some reason a few sites would not load. After I visited a few, it seems as if they might be related so I asked (on Twitter) if anyone knew whether GoDaddy was having technical challenges - I doubted it, but it’s always worth asking.
And since I hadn’t been on Twitter today I had some catching up to do (if you want to see what I was Tweeting about you can follow me here.)
Then this showed up…
How To Save Fuel By Turning Right - Like UPS Did…
In 2004, after evaluating their CO2 emissions, UPS announced that its drivers would avoid making left turns. They calculated the amount of time spent idling waiting to make a left turn would save millions of dollars in fuel costs every year.
Proof that Twittering Pays Off.
Recently I was interviewed by Frank Derfler about social media (in particular Twitter) for a Dell Sponsored PC Mag web cast training program.
Well it’s available now and it would seem this nice lady enjoyed it so much she had to tell the world - ok… Twitterers.
Here’s the link to the materials on the Dell website:

Social Media and the Interactive Marketing Conference
On May 15, 2008 I attended the Interactive Marketing Conference hosted by InfoPresse - the subject was Social Media. The event included such luminaries as Chris Anderson, Bryan Segal, Paul Gillin and a panel of experts including Jesse Hirsh, Dawna Henderson, David Jones, Michael Kasprow and Keith McArthur.
I took pages of notes as each presenter addressed the room and shared their insights, views and opinions. Bottom line, the event was well run and worth attending. So for those of you who followed the day on Twitter (yes, I was tweeting from the conference) here are a few key facts I noted during the day:

Earth Day and Share… no, not Cher.
Happy Earth Day, and in the spirit of all things Googly I thought I’d share today’s Google logo - you may recall they change it from time to time. And speaking of sharing, here’s the latest on the search engine share metrics (you know, who’s got the biggest tool…) No pun intended being ED and all that.
