In our middle class, western society, most of us will never hit rock bottom. No matter how much we suck. But is that a good thing? Sure, for those who never [...]

I love listening to Seth Godin. He has powerful insights into most things Marketing and community related. But why doesn’t he follow anyone on Twitter? Does he already have ALL the answers? And so doesn’t need to know what other people think? Perhaps he doesn’t want to send traffic or recognition to anyone else? Is it because he just doesn’t [...]

I remember when I first started Adwords advertising in early 2004. Back then there was no “quality score”, and you could dump thousands of keywords into one ad campaign and click “go”. It was a simple time. But it was also a wasteful time. Because it was so easy to get a ton of PPC traffic, you never [...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPol_m8wm8Y Let me ask you a question: What if the world as you know it was made up to keep you trapped?

One of the reasons I dislike the label “Web [...]

I’ve been amazed at the extremely SHIT quality advice around on “how to get more blog comments” - and how to begin starting community conversations. So in this post I’m first going to explain the different types of social structures that encourage blog comments, and then lay down an exact blueprint for getting more of the [...]

I don’t know John Chow or Shoemoney, and until recently I had never heard of either of them. Anyway, I just read a post on John Chows blog that irritated the hell out of me. It was called “When You Should Put Ads On Your Blog“. In it Chow argues that a new blog should be monetized [...]

I’m a harsh critic of Google, I don’t trust their business practices, and I don’t think they come CLOSE to living up to “not being evil”. So I’ve just installed the new Google No Follow Plugin. This Plugin puts a no follow attribute on all links to Google - it’s a way we webmasters can put a [...]
