I have to admit that when Bill DeSmedt, author of Singularity, emailed me talking about a New York Post article that proudly featured his work, I wasn’t immediately impressed. Not that getting press isn’t a great thing, but the article simply listed a bunch of books that someone named Danica McKellar enjoyed. Very meh. I had no idea who Danica McKellar was. But hey, Google is a click away right? Holy cow. Have I mentioned how appreciative I have become of Google’s decision to put highly sought-out images at the top of certain search results?

Friday's Poem: "Greenhouse" by Paul Hostovsky from Bird in the Hand. Friday's Literary Notes: It was on this day in 1957 that Jack Kerouac's book On the Road was published. His inspiration for the book came 10 years earlier. He was living in New York City with his mother, trying to write his first novel, when he met a drifter named Neal Cassady, an ex-convict from Denver who had actually been born in a car, and who became a car thief when he was 14 years old. By the time Kerouac met him, Cassady had stolen more than 500 cars and had been arrested 10 times. Kerouac later wrote, "All my other…

We bounced back nicely for episode 32 with a show about the Olympics and online sports coverage. Geoff is actually boycotting the Beijing games, the liberal pig. The larger issue was in regards to the live online coverage of NBCOlympics.com. Is online sports viewing the new black? Episode 32 - MP3

Episode 31 was a tough show. We had technical issues right from the start as Geoff was disconnected and never reconnected. For my part, I was driving to Boston and had to pull off a monologue on the fly. So the show was 15 minutes, as opposed to 30. We’re always trying to buy you more time in your day. In this episode I expounded on the ideas laid out in my article on gap marketing. A brand can buy up advertising and target key demographics, but at the end of the day there are little things that can be done to assure a wide range of marketing efforts that don’t take a lot to do.

Today I came across some creative business card ideas that could provide you with some inspiration to help you dream up a new logo, business card, marketing campaign, or even a new web site design. Feast your eyes on this Creativebits.org post on cool business card designs. The best designs tie the central ‘cool design’ to their business, product or service (rather than just being cool). Think of this as delivering your message. Being cool just for the sake of being cool won’t usually win you business but being relevant and memorable will. For example, the card with the…

In my last post Cast a wide net with local online directories I discussed the benefits of listing your business in as many legitimate local online directories and guides as possible.

These are powerful advantages that you…

Whether you’re just starting your local web marketing or you’ve been at it for a while, there are some fundamentals that you must address. The first is being found online when people go looking for what you sell. This is the first part of your “findability.” The second part of findability is for another post but to sum it up, it’s about saying and giving the buyer the relevant information they need to complete their search and ultimately select you as the provider of the solution or product they seek. The two together, being found by buyers, and saying the right…

I’ve written here before on Local Na8ion about the power of local online reviews. A story in USA Today on May 20th provides a nice summary of the pros and cons that should further wet your appetite. Here’s a quote and link to the full story titled “Businesses turn to online reviews to grow clientele” in USA Today. “Reviews and star ratings are often cited in search results. A Google search for “Los Angeles chiropractor,” for instance, includes not only links to websites and descriptions, but also a 10-item list of local chiropractors with their…
