So where is that recap of my trip with all the juicy details you ask? Well I'll cover my tea time with the Queen (kidding) and all the other fun later. But for those of you that missed the show or just couldn't cross the great pond, here is my presentation. It was for the Writing Killer Ads and Landing Pages panel. We had a fantastic time answering questions and had one of the best moderators ever, Jon Myers. So if you want to know a little ...

About this time last year, I signed up for the networking system of SMX Advanced. I came across another Austinite and decided to meet up with him for coffee. I had spent the year before at SMX meeting very few people, so this year that was going to change. Jeremy Bencken and I met up at Starbucks and he told me the story of this new idea he was exploring, and I was floored. It was an idea that no one had come up with yet, but it was so ...

So people ask me all the time about what tools I use for keyword research, bid management, SEO, you name it. And I have always said I am not a big tool fan. That was until I came across a few gems.

Note: Sorry about the mixup earlier, I wasn't done with this post yet. Was going to wait to post it, but everyone is asking about it now. Stupid feedburner. ;) We've all heard it. Ashton did this. Miley got coffee. Oprah tweeted. All of a sudden all of our friends and family, and the mass public is on twitter. Our little world isn't our little world anymore. Once Oprah talks about something ... the world does it. I worked at a bookstore ...

With the influx of online shopping is that people are looking more and more for vouchers (coupons) when buying things online. We all know that there are discounts and free shipping available in many places, but we don't always know about them when we are shopping. It is always after a purchase that we are let in on the secrets. Many online shoppers have been realizing that they can search for discount codes before they shop, or while they are ...

So my friend and colleague, Brandy Eddings, posted some news last week about the acquisition of New Edge Media by its primary investor. While that investor has gone out of their way to ensure the team is taken care of, I have come to the conclusion that it was not the right place for me. While I continue working with current clients, I am opening up to bringing on a few more. There is a new page on this site that explains what services I am ...
