Cold Calls and Social Spam
Today I received a cold call from someone telling me how their outsourcing company from India can help me build my business the same way they have done this for many other reputable companies. I am a bit too nice when it comes to these calls for many reasons including the fact that I understand the challenges of building a business and you never know who you are speaking with. A few minutes after this sales call I got a call that started out similarly with someone mispronouncing my name as they... -
Google Adsense Ad Selection
This report is anecdotal, but it’s based on attention of many of the Google Adsense ads I see running these days. A number of the offers that appear on wide ranging sites seem to be shady. Google is an online marketing company that might be bigger than others, but clearly they’re having the same issues others are during the long, global recession.

Cross-Linking Is Dead As A Doornail
I feel like I can finally put a nail in the coffin of cross-linking websites. Let me be specific, cross-linked, thematically unrelated links appear to push little or no value to other websites. In fact, it’s fair to say excessive cross-linking surely hurts in Yahoo and is very much devalued in Google. Google, as always, seems to be adding to the “don’t” list as far as linking goes. I don’t really care about the fact cross-links aren’t working anymore. All it affects is the... -

Today I invented a new word, Twoogling. Google + Twitter = Twoogling But what exactly is Twoogling? The term came to mind when looking into Google opening their Twitter account at Twitter.com/google so I named the post Google Enters the Twitter Game : Google + Twitter = Twoogling? Little did I expect that with some help from my Twitter friends, and exceptionally @Mashable, the post took off like wildfire on Twitter. So much wildfire that is, that the word “Twoogling”... -
Re-Enter: The Competitive Analysis!
When I was in middle-school, comic books were AWESOME. Looking back, I notice now that in nearly every comic book, in due course there was the villain that could take everybody’s powers and use them as his or her own. The uncanny X-Men battled the aptly-named Mimic; the Avengers and the Fantastic Four both took a shot at the extra-terrestrial, mega-warrior called the Super Skrull; and more currently the TV show Heroes has a creepy fellow who can do more of the same thing.
