Simple Low or No Cost Marketing Ideas for Restaurants

Bethany Siegler — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 21:21:57 +0000

Two of my favorite things are food and marketing, so a blog post about how restaurants can cost-effectively market themselves was bound to happen. Here are a couple of quick ideas that have either been percolating in my head or I’ve noted area restaurants doing: 1. Twitter and blogging: There are endless possibilities for using twitter and blogs to promote your restaurant: Today’s Specials – I don’t know about you, but if I was following twitter posts and I saw that my favorite restaurant was tweeting their daily specials, my mouth would ...

Why Wordpress 2.8?

Bethany Siegler — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 20:58:33 +0000

OK, I know, I am a Wordpress Dork, but really, this thing just keeps getting better and better! I must admit, when I heard about 2.8, I didn’t expect much. After all, Wordpress 2.7.1 did such a great job that I wasn’t missing much, other than the theme uploader. And, with Vladimir Prelovac’s Theme Test Drive plugin, I didn’t even miss that! So what could Wordpress 2.8 have that I’d need? Well watch the video and you’ll see. If you haven’t watched the video yet, and you are still reading ...

New Option for Hosting Video to Your Blog

Bethany Siegler — Wed, 20 May 2009 22:48:48 +0000

One of my clients who does a lot with videos, Freddy at Atomic Tango, shared this info with me and I had to share it with all of you. As you’ll see from the video below, Wordpress.com is getting into the video hosting business. What does that mean? Well, if it means what I believe it does, it means these things: You can now host a video at Wordpress.com directly – you don’t have to host your own videos somewhere else and then embed them into your own site As Freddy points ...

What is a Keyword and how do I find mine?

Bethany Siegler — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 19:28:19 +0000

When you hear the words “keyword” or “keyword phrases” do you know what they mean to you, your business and especially your clients? So many times, when I begin to work with a client, the first thing they say, before they even have content for their home page, is “I just want to rank #1 on Google.” So, I naturally ask them which keyword or keyword phrase they plan to rank #1 for? And, that is when I often learn that they hadn’t thought much past the desire to ...

Setting Realistic SEO Expectations

Bethany Siegler — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 19:31:07 +0000

Jill Whalen CEO and Founder of High Rankings wrote an interesting article about SEO Expectations in her newsletter, shortly after I posted my SEO post on this site. It is a sharp read, about being realistic in your SEO campaign. It doesn’t sugarcoat anything, so if you are looking for someone who is going to tell you they can get you to #1 overnight, this is not the place. This is actually why I trust Jill – she doesn’t make false claims, she is realistic about what it takes ...
