I’m sitting at the Automattic booth at Blog World Expo (siphoning power) and had a great conversation with the WordPress team regarding a number of projects we’ve worked on as well as discussing changes and challenges we’re running into with our clients. One of those concerns is security and backups. It’s strange that I’ve been in the WordPress community for a while, but still hear about programs and applications that have been around for years and I’ve not seen them! One of those is VaultPress. VaultPress is a service you … Continue reading →

It doesn’t matter how much initial education you put into a new engagement, a Search Engine Marketing Villain will pop up when you least expect.  I have identified a short list of the Villains that we, at EverEffect, seem to come across when engaging new prospects. Can you relate to any of these?

This week I was in Houston and Austin speaking and being a panelist for their respective Online Marketing Summits. Be sure to check out their Cities and Agendas page and attend an event… the quality of the presentations were outstanding and conference host, Aaron Kahlow, kept the events engaging and fun. Yesterday I shared a tip from Apogee Search on buying links to a third party site. One other tip I received at the summit seems like a total beginner tip. To be honest, I thought that Google Adwords defaulted … Continue reading →

This week I was in Houston and Austin speaking and being a panelist for their respective Online Marketing Summits. Be sure to check out their Cities and Agendas page and attend an event… the quality of the presentations were outstanding and conference host, Aaron Kahlow, kept the events engaging and fun. In the past, I’ve done some pay-per-click advertising on my own and lost my shirt.
