Singing your own praises on social media? Excuse me while I ‘unlike’ you.
Social media is a never-ending social gathering. Think of it as a worldwide non-stop party. When you go to a party, you don’t walk into the room and start blathering on about how awesome your business is do you? If you do, chances are you’re the one the rest of us avoid at parties. Something […]
Awesome Social Media Dashboard for the Google Analytics Junkie
Just a quick, hopefully helpful, post for all of you analytics junkies out there. A few months ago I found this Social Media dashboard template for Google Analytics. I can not for the life of me remember where I found it. So, let it be known, I did not create it and I am not […]
Google Analytics (not provided) Keyword – Thanks for the Ambiguity
Some time ago Google made it so that, when logged in while searching, the keywords you use don’t show in the Google Analytics accounts of the sites you visit. Much to the shagrin of web marketers everywhere. So for example if you went to Google while logged in and searched for “custom web design” and […]
SEO plugins for Google Chrome – Here are 3 Good Ones
I’ve got two little kids and so I’m not ashamed to admit that I spent my Friday night with Curious George cartoons on the tube for my daughter, while I sat at my computer checking out various SEO plugins for Google Chrome. Through my searching I found 3 tools worth checking out that are easy […]

Naperville Search Engine Optimization: A case study in action
Search engine optimization is not rocket science. Let’s just accept that as fact. A lot of people that make a lot of money in the SEO industry would have you believe that it is. But the underlying truth is that search engine optimization is driven by content and in order to achieve high rankings you […]
My take on Empire Avenue and its Place in the Socialsphere
I recently joined Empire Avenue after seeing some others talking about it on Google+. The concept behind EA is not as straight forward as your average social network. Yes, there are status updates, and communities on various topics where you can “socialize” with others. But the main backbone of the site is more of a […]
8 Ways to SUCK at marketing your business on social media
Everyone that owns a business, does marketing for a business, or that has ever heard of a business knows that social media sites are one of the most viable ways to obtain new customers/clients. And if you don’t, you probably aren’t doing particularly well with your business…maybe that’s why you’re reading this. I’ve compiled a […]
Want to stand out in Google? Try Google Authorship
A picture is worth a thousand words. And in search, it could be worth a thousand more clicks. The Google search results are pretty stark, and mostly devoid of any sort of imagery. That is, until relatively recently when they started the whole Google Authorship thing. If you’re not familiar with it, you may have […]
9 WordPress plugins you shouldn’t go without
As a web developer, I can’t say that I have a particular affinity for WordPress, but these days just about every client wants to be able to manage their own content and rarely are they gung-ho about sitting down with Notepad and FileZilla and picking through HTML to do so. That said, I use WordPress […]
