I started toy­ing around with social media early back in 2005. I didn’t real­ize it at the time, but I was just hav­ing fun throw­ing aim­less punches blindly in the […]

A few weeks ago we started help­ing one of our part­ners set up a suc­cess­ful pres­ence on Face­book. His name is Burt Gold­man, The Amer­i­can Monk.
I’m guess­ing he’s prob­a­bly the ONLY 81 year old monk with more than 1,000 true friends on the social net­work, which brings me to my story.

Who knew that such a tiny, lit­tle addi­tion — a small image to be pre­cise — can have such a sig­nif­i­cant impact on sales?
Well, we cer­tainly didn’t expect it, and that just goes to show the impor­tance of split test­ing even the small­est tweaks.
Here is what we did.
One of our biggest web­sites is www.SilvaLifeSystem.com and below is […]

In keep­ing with our tra­di­tion of con­tin­u­ous tests and tweaks to boost the per­for­mance of our web­sites, we’ve dis­cov­ered a very sim­ple type of email that works well for email mar­ket­ing.

A few days ago I talked about our new SEO web-app, Traf­fic Marks, which hones in and pin­points rel­e­vant author­ity sites so you know exactly where to focus your link build­ing efforts. It is the quick­est, eas­i­est way to find the best author­ity sites to get links from.
Thing is, once you’ve mer­ci­lessly found the rel­e­vant authority […]

Ask any real SEO junkie about time-tested effec­tive meth­ods for get­ting to Google’s 1st page quickly and chances are pretty good that they’ll men­tion get­ting incom­ing links from author­ity sites in your field (which is deter­mined by the key­word you want to rank well for).

Hel­looo, it’s called Social Media

Social media is turn­ing mar­ket­ing and pub­lic rela­tions upside down. The rules of the game are chang­ing and shift­ing, and amidst all of this won­der­ful, innovation-driven chaos, many get into social media with­out keep­ing a focus on the “social” in social media.
How many times have you got­ten onboard a social media […]

Last week, I blogged a post about a con­cept I call “Social Polar­ity” and how you can infuse it into your blog’s mar­ket­ing.
