It’s not always easy knowing which keywords and phrases to target when optimising your website – and as I say in my latest blog over on Birds on the Blog, it’s all too easy to fail to see beyond high traffic and high competition phrases.
So why not try asking other people what THEY would use to search for you? This great tool from Seed Keywords allows you to set up a scenario (eg “If you were searching for a website that sells XXXXX, what would you type in to Google?”) and then invite people to contribute, anonymously.

We’ve published our latest article, “Social Media Marketing – An Old Story”
The world of business is going mad for social media, with a recent study suggesting 92% of businesses in North America are using it in some way.
This is exciting of course, but in this excitement, many seem to have forgotten that while some of the technology may be new, the phenomena is not.
In fact, this interactive methodology has been at the core of internet marketing since its very inception. Web pages are, after all, interactive and multimedia by their very nature. We were clicking, viewing, commenting and sharing, long before the term ‘social media’ was coined.

We get asked this all the time – clients often spend a lot of time thinking about copy, words, structure and navigation, but then forget the essential piece that ties it all together – the pictures.
Only last week I had to tell a client that stealing pictures from other people’s websites was a BAD thing!
And yes, using Google Images to steal images is bad too – sorry!
Which is why I was very relieved to come across this post today from Web Design Booth – 30 websites to download free stock images.

Forgive me for a bit of a lazy post, but it’s been a long few days and I’m supposed to be winding down to have a baby (ha!) so writing for clients has taken precedence over my own blog unfortunately.
I’ve had quite a few emails over the last few weeks about some of our work on Facebook Fan Pages. One of the things we like to do is add FBML tabs to the page so that you can add newsletters, offers, welcome pages, links etc – here are some examples:

Article marketing – the practice of submitting written editorial to article publishing websites that then redistribute them to other sites throughout the internet – has slipped in and out of fashion in recent years, with commentators tending to fall into two camps: love it or hate it.
In one camp there are those who argue that spreading your carefully written advice across the internet sends traffic in the wrong direction; while other advocate it as an effective way to raise ones profile online. So who’s right? Is article marketing a boon or a boob?
