Two major tips for SEO that are often overlooked are:
1. Use Google Webmaster Tools
Most people have got Google Analytics setup but they haven’t got Google Webmaster Tools setup. The reason you need Google Webmaster Tools set up is because it will tell you everything Google knows is wrong with your site and that is right with your site. Quite often a lot of sites don’t even know that Google hates them and the reason that Google hates them is all outlined in Google Webmaster Tools.…
Sex texts – bridging physical barriers! If you haven’t done it yet, it’s only a matter of time before you try. It’s a new world order, reintroducing written erotica to the world. Unfortunately if you’re a politician or a celebrity, it’s not looking good for you – statistically speaking you will be busted sexting very soon and your public credibility and private love life will crumble. While it’s all well and good to celebrate our brave new world and experiment with technology, it’s also worth watching our back. Go ahead and explore your inner sex god or goddess, feel free to cyber connect with your lover, but please don’t do it in public.…
Here is a transcript: OK, it’s Vivienne Storey from Blands Law. We specialise in writing Social Media Policies for companies and I just wanted to highlight an important aspect of having a Social Media Policy and that is as a risk management tool it’s invaluable for training.
Once you’ve developed your social media policy you then have something to go to or start with to train them in the various areas of social media that they need to be aware of before they can engage on the companies behalf.…
Just watched this video from Socialnomicsand had to share it. While funny, it stuck a cord when comparing the measurement of the ROI’s from different mediums.
Keith Ferrazzi is a relationship expert who wrote Never Eat Alone and Who’s Got Your Back – both of which I love. He came out to Australia recently thanks to The Growth Faculty and gave a workshop. His thoughts on social media are worth sharing!
You know it’s interesting about social media. Social media is another connection point we can all use to broaden the touch points, the connections that we have, but it doesn’t necessarily assume that you’re going to build a relationship.
One of the most common questions I am asked at presentations and workshops is “how do I deal with negative comments on social media?”
After telling a few stories about both good and bad ways of dealing with negative comments, I usually paint a hypothetical situation and let the audience members debate it in small groups and then de-brief at the end. Each group often takes a slightly different approach and they are all very valid.

A recent court case has shown that a Facebook account holder can be liable for what is written on their wall, and this law is relevant for any business using social media pages as part of their web marketing strategy.

Having a web strategy in place is vital for a healthy business and this will include having a twitter and facebook page, among others. We’ve all liked the page of some business or other, and when really motivated, may have felt compelled to write a comment on their wall.…
It wouldn’t feel right to blog this week without mentioning the economic holocaust that appears to be threatening the world. The Dow is doomed, Greece is gutted, the States are failing and anyone close to retirement is likely starting to panic. If you didn’t already have your super sorted, you’d be forgiven for feeling downright depressed this week. You might even feel tempted to pack it all in, don a hoodie and join the riots in London. But the rioters don’t in fact stand for anything. There is no silenced, disenfranchised voice emerging from the fray.…
There is a growing segment of society taking a moral stand against the new world of social media. They choose to boycott all forms of social networking and make life difficult by not having a facebook page or twitter identity. They expect to be actual friends and swap email addresses or, god forbid, phone numbers, in order to stay in touch.
