The simple underlying fact of social media sites is that if you’re not going to actually join in the conversation, you will get absolutely nothing out of them. You need to build some sort of a rapport with the masses, or at the end of the day the masses will ignore you. Automated posts tend […]

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 […]

With SMM and SEO – [Fresh] Content is King

mike — Tue, 30 Jul 2013 19:04:57 +0000

You’ve heard the saying “Content is King” before right? I think we need a modern revision to that saying, just posting content is not good enough. Take a look around Facebook, Twitter and Google+ these days and you’ll see that there is a minor (read: major) issue with stale / rehashed / redundant / outdated […]

Google Analytics (not provided) Keyword – Thanks for the Ambiguity

mike — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 19:55:11 +0000

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 […]
