- Are Guest Post Requests the New Reciprocal Link Requests? - 2012-04-10 07:14:14-04
Almost all web owners have received requests for link exchanges. These range from anything between very useful and interesting, and completely unhelpful and oftentimes just rude. The first affront here is often that they are automated meaning you are receiving compliments from someone who has quite clearly never set eyes on your website. The next problem is that they are often unfairly demanding and of course are trying to get more out of the exchange, and the final is that they are often presumptuous and will take the liberty of already placing your link on their page – without the correct anchor because of course they don’t know your SEO strategy. In some cases this is even damaging for your business, and you will find that if you respond to all of these irritating requests you end up with a lot of link that Google doesn’t look highly upon and ...

- Is Seo Marketing The Best Form Of Traffic To Pursue - 2012-04-12 00:56:13-04
Sometimes it worth going outside on the back of the patio and having a glass of ice cold Red Diamond Tea to just relax and think. This is great because it lets your brain wonder until you start thinking crazy thoughts. These crazy thoughts can be about many things if you’re a seo guy like myself who is just trumped in ideas. This is one of the bad things about being a so called seo person, because once you learn how to dominate the search engines in the form of getting free traffic. Then this is when you start to analize things to the point your head starts to ache. The reason why I'm saying this is because I was thinking the other day about the other forms of building traffic for a website other then using seo. So I ran in the house to get my PC so I ...

- Why Blogging is the Future of Branding - 2012-04-13 09:06:29-04
The Internet is not a static space. It is a dynamic space filled with dynamic people who have dynamic viewpoints. It is constantly evolving and growing. As such, the old “broadcaster” model of business simply does not fit with today’s generation. And that is why blogging has become so important. People don’t want to passively absorb the content on the Internet; they want to interact with it. They want to engage with the blogger. They want a much richer experience. In the early days of blogging, the articles were very personal and very casual. Even so, it represented a huge revolution in the way that information was not only consumed, but how it was produced. The average Joe and Jane could stake their claim on the web and make their mark on the world. It paved the way for more mass communication and a true voice “from the streets” and ...

Pinterest came at the right time, just when Google+ was gaining the upper hand and rocking with rich-media contents.

Several bloggers and social media marketers are making a big mistake; they've got the traffic, but no conversion. How pathetic? Pinterest Concept! The essence of marketing on Pinterest, is to showcase (pin) the best images ever. It's not how beautiful, but how relevant such images ...

- The Power of Blogging and Where It's Headed - 2012-04-15 09:42:50-04
In the early days of Internet marketing, companies scoffed at the potential of the so-called world wide web. They cast the concept of bloggers even further into the shadows, thinking that they weren’t relevant to their customers. My, how times have changed! These days, blogs are not only mainstream, but they have become even bigger than their traditional media counterparts! More and more people are turning to TMZ and Perez Hilton for their celebrity gossip. Tech enthusiasts point their browsers at Engadget and Gizmodo instead of waiting for a magazine to hit the racks. After all, that magazine will be reporting on news that is already a month old by the time it hits stores. Blogs, on the other hand, are quite literally on the pulse of the industry, quite literally being up to the minute with their relevance. The major blogs have very much become massive communities on their ...

Blogging is a very worthwhile endeavor, but even before you dive into a conversation of finding the right web hosts or how you will go about monetizing your site, there is one very important question that needs to be addressed: Why are you going to blog and what are you going to blog about?
