If you are like me, you may consider yourself a “jack-of-all-trades” kind of person. I myself like to know as much as I can about everything and many times think I can do just about whatever it is that I put my mind to . But, there are just some things that you need to be an expert at and being just “Ok” won”t cut it. I have come across this a few times in my personal and professional life. [...]

Google has announced a pilot to integrate some data from Webmaster Tools with Google Analytics.
“The initial release will be a set of reports in Google Analytics using search data from Google Webmaster Tools.

Your New Site Launched – You’re Done Now, Right?
As Scott pointed out in his blog post last month, “website projects are a lot of work!” Once all that work is done and your shiny new site launches, nothing sounds better than just not thinking about your website for a while. Just because the launch was successful, it doesn’t mean you can relax quite yet.

Billion Dollar Google

The mapped out, state-by-state report of Google’s economic activity can be found here.

Website Projects Are A Lot Of Work?!
I work with a lot new website projects, both from the standpoint of a brand new site and redesigns of existing sites. I will tell you from experience that both require a lot of work. To clarify this: they require work, not only from your website development company but also from you the company owner/marketing manager/sales, etc. I often hear the sound in our clients voices after we get to the stage of writing content for their sites that they [...]

I’ll admit that when I picked this title the first thing that came to mind was the old Olivia Newton John song, “let’s get physical”. Don’t ask me why, but it just got in my head and now I can’t get it out ( I may have just dated myself).
