Mark, nice critique, and I would expect this from you! If all sites were travel related and had travel in the domain there would be a stronger argument.

Re: Google, I Don't Want Your SEO Advice

Paying to be indexed is not SEO. I've saved small businesses lots of money by ranking them organically and reducing the need for SEM. Tell me a little bit about why you are "Anti-SEO"?

This is exactly right! Now as an SEO I need to make AdWords mandatory!

Re: Google, I Don't Want Your SEO Advice

I'm getting really frustrated with doing SEO's these days. I feel sorry for my small business clients. Now I tell them, they need to create PHD type interesting, amazingly viral and note worthy content to rank in the search engines. Businesses don't have resources to continually create mind blowing content. Creating content is not their business goal, running a successful business in their goal.

The Google+ aspect of ranking is very individual oriented and not business oriented. How do the individuals in a company effect a business ranking in the search results? Is a requirement for every job in a company going to be blog once a week and receive bonus if your article is g+ more than 5 times? I've met people with MBAs who don't know how to insert a TOC. I've met sales folks who don't know how to write a tradeshow follow-up email and include a web link to the company website. Small businesses are going to really suffer because they don’t have the dollars to hire expensive authors and experts in their industry to write a blog post. As an SEO I’m going to need to make AdWords mandatory in order to rank on keywords. It’s more cost effect for a company to use AdWords instead of hiring a team of writers.

@Tiggerito it doesn't matter how Barry wrote the article, the fact that Google is advising companies to start over is absurd. What kind of message is Google sending to the business community? Ok company, flush all of that hard work down the toilet and start over. What???!! You've got to be kidding me!

I'm so behind the 8 ball on my website blogging because I'm doing the consulting work and not writing. It's tough to manage all of life's priorities, but I know my blog is where my voice will be heard and my skills will be shown. Great interview Andy and Matt! Now go to my site and critique my work :)

I just saw the new design and the ads are still there on the right column. They also made it easier for the admin to create an ad. It's always on the admin screen. So that's good :)

Re: 68 Percent of Consumers Engage in Content Grazing — Is That Good or Bad?

AnneHaynes — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:13:10 -0000

Just today I told someone how I use my iPad to look up actors in movies. And I started using my iPad to watch movies on NetFlix while I'm working with two monitors. Good point about marketers needs to make clear and concise points because people are content grazing.

I think this is a bad move for advertising revenue. Any insight into where the ads will be displayed in this new clean UI?

Matt, I'm going to need to look back at the entire series to makes sure I haven't built too many layers. Your right it's really hard to know what works and what doesn't work. The search space is very much like an onion, peel and measure, peel and measure etc. I log everything I do to my campaigns by date isolate what's working and what isn't. Even with my percision details I can still be stumped. Oh joy anomalies.... Great Post!!

No Jeannine you are right on! Who you follow is a reflection of who you are and I'm a firm believer in not bringing politics into work. It scares me how people don't sensor themselves. It scares me more that people don't know how to sensor themselves. Thanks for your comment!

We are rolling out funny video segments, we are still in the development stages, it's clear emotions of any kind coupled with a powerful medium works magic.

So what happened? Did you figure everything out? While I know you will do the right thing, I read this post and am exhausted thinking about the paper trail and follow-up. You definitely have a silver lining. When I was in the dot.com era I tried to make it big working for several start-ups but wasn't successful. Don't beat yourself up if you need to file a tax extension, I've filed extensions, because like you, I want to make sure everything is correct. Congrats on working with Google! I would imagine the decision to hire you was an easy one. You are amazing and I really enjoy your work!

Good to know Shelly. And understand I had to make the comment because everyone needs to know it's not easy and proper keyword research will make or break you if you don't know how to analyze the numbers.

I enjoy your work!
Happy Holidays

Shelly, I've been doing SEO for several years now and keyword research is never easy. Keyword research is the most important task in an SEO campaign and knowing how to use the words properly is a science in my opinion.

Re: Yobongo App Encourages You to Chat With Local Strangers

AnneHaynes — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 21:45:24 -0000

Rewind to 1995 KSJS Sounds Bytes Internet talk show real-time broadcasting globally. There is a distinct difference between real-time entertainment and destination entertainment.

The app yobong appears to be real-time entertainment, so here is my take. As the radio production assistant, our listeners used audio, video and chat to communicate with the technology guests and it was real-time (even with a 14.4K modem). This is similar to being at the movies for the first time and knowing the guy/gal behind you dislikes the same actor. With this app it can go two different ways and it depends on if you are at the Fork and Screen (dinner & drinks) or just cruzing in to watch the flick. What I’ve found with meeting digitally and then in-real-life (IRL); personalities can be different. Note: I’m assuming you can communicate while in the movie. First example, Fork and Screen; hanging out before the movie having cocktails, talking to other people going to see the movie and asking if they have the yobongo app, this could be fun. Or finding the friend in the movie and texting, meet in the bar after the movie. The other example, I’m not looking to make an event of my movie experience and while I enjoy the fun yobongo app and I’m in the same theater, I want to get in and out, so don’t be offended if I run for the door once the credits start.

Louis, its goes back to what you said in the beginning, there are apps made for hook ups, but what’s most important are the people skills and knowing what’s appropriate and what’s not. Just because I like the same movie and happen to be in the same theater doesn’t mean I want to meet someone (see note with assumption).

Love your stuff Gray!

I prefer the conversation view off because while it might un-clutter for some it confuses others.

To clarify, when I mention mobile; I want to have an alert on my mobile phone that there is activity. I will use the apps to reply properly.
