Product Blogs

March 31, 2006

One of the types of blogs I like to use is what I call a product blog. This type of blog features products from small niche or vertical market. For example rather than build yet another gadget blog I’d focus on something much smaller like flat panel monitors. These blogs are all about capturing the [...]

Disney Imagineer Blog

March 30, 2006

So if you’re a regular reader you know I’m a bit of a Disney nut (some would say I don’t need the Disney qualifier). If I could choose any job to have when I grow up it would be a Disney Imagineer (the folks who dream up the parks and rides that go into [...]

Blogging for Attention

March 28, 2006

If you’re a regular reader you probably know I’m a big advocate of using pen names. Whether it’s to fulfill people’s impression of who a blogging author might be, or building a more intriguing “character” , if it makes it more interesting, I just do it. You may also remember my post When A Pen [...]

** Warning Cat Post Ahead **
Today was the nicest day we’ve had so far this year, in fact the temperature got as high as 60 degrees here on Long Island. So I walked my oldest daughter to school in the morning. I picked up my youngest daughter up at 11 from nursery school and [...]

The Shark and The Coconut

March 23, 2006

I caught a show on the Discovery Channel this weekend that mentioned the following statistic “more people are killed each year by falling coconuts than sharks“. With that in mind you will see stories of shark attacks on TV news or in the newspaper, but in all of my thirtysomething years I’ve never seen nor [...]

Art of the Start Review

March 20, 2006

I had never heard of Guy Kawasaki until earlier this year when his blog posts started finding their way into digg, delicious, and the posts of other bloggers. After the fourth or fifth post he made his way into my subscriptions and is one of my favorite bloggers. My buddy Todd recommended “the Art of [...]

Computer Cufflinks

March 19, 2006

Being a member of the bathrobe workforce and a soccer Mom Dad, I don’t have to get dressed up too often. However I went to a meeting earlier this week and the only dress shirt I could find had French cuffs (that means it needs cufflinks for you in the back of the class). So [...]

March 17, 2006

As if people telling Danny Sullivan he was as idiot when it comes to understanding Google wasn’t funny enough, now they are ‘digging’ some rules for ranking better in Google. To be fair all of them aren’t incorrect, but some of them will send you chasing so far down the wrong rat hole you may [...]

Can You Do Me A Favor …

March 16, 2006

Recently I went to a local printer to have some things printed for my business. The owner was actually helping and asking questions along the way. When we finished he asked “I have a website, I paid a few thousand for it, it has a lot of products on it, but only gets a few [...]

Will the Real Online Demographics Please Stand Up

March 14, 2006

In the past week Google played catch-up with MSN AdCenter by offering Adwords Targeting based on demographics ( see Google AdWords Help Center: What is demographic site selection? and Targeting as a Strategy). Maybe I spent a little to much time in AOL chat rooms in my youth (yo ASL roomies), but I don’t place [...]

Constant Contact Review

March 11, 2006

In an earlier post (see Bridging the Gap Between Email and Blog Marketing) I mentioned how I’m trying to use email marketing to bring some customers to my sites who weren’t yet up to speed with reading RSS feeds.

Bridging The Gap Between Email And Blog Marketing

March 10, 2006

Last Christmas I ventured out of the virtual intraweb-affiliate-blogo-forum-sphere and soccer mom worlds that I spend most of my time in, and went to my wife’s company Christmas Holiday Party. I was talking with some people and mentioned blogs and got the cat stare (you know the look when you tell a cat to do [...]
