  • Yes, Joe Citizen Does Care About Hyperlocal Stuff

    • July 9, 2009 - I’ve spent the past 2 years telling local small biz owners that they need to be blogging, if not about their biz at least about their community–but optimally about both. It generates good will and gets people talking about the blogger (and their biz) which is always a good thing.

  • 5 Web Sites You Must Bookmark for Hyperlocal Content

    • June 12, 2009 - Excellent sources for anyone running a local blog

  • Using custom taxonomies to create a movie database

    • June 9, 2009 - The more WordPress adds the less simple to use it becomes, I look at this with two thoughts, “How cool is that, I’ve got a thousand new site ideas bouncing through my head”… and, “great, a new feature that requires digging through the code to make use of”…

    Don’t get me wrong, I want more bells and whistles, I just want them to come with Easy buttons and keep life simple.

  • Blog Marketing: The Shirt On Your Back

    • June 8, 2009 - Offline and local advertising methods are almost always tiny goldmines for those who put in the efforts. Sad that most don’t ‘get it’ with this.

  • The complete guide to creating widgets in WordPress 2.8

    • May 27, 2009 - Best tutorial I’ve seen yet on creating widgets for WordPress 2.8

  • Local Bloggers Need More Exposure Like This

    • May 27, 2009 - This is awesome and I expect to see more similar instances of local media and news outlets taking advantage of the hard work local bloggers are doing, which is good for the bloggers in exposure and especially good for end users who get more options and information for consumption.

  • Have The Bailouts Made Sense?

    • May 27, 2009 - Maybe I’m jaded but I liked this piece that examines whether the benefits and companies we’ve bailed out were worth the it.

  • How To Increase Website Traffic- Online Advertising

    • May 22, 2009 - All traffic online is purchased. Some with money (PPC and other banner/link purchases) and some with labor (SEO, article marketing and etc.)–but all is purchased. The only variable is if you will trade money or time for the traffic.

  • The Elegant Art of Writing Less

    • May 22, 2009 - Excellent advice, bullet-point posts and articles are often more effective than highly detailed long copy.

  • Blogger Regulation?

    • May 22, 2009 - Yes, every blog should have a G-Man overseer… [/sarcasm]

    • May 18, 2009 - Like many others, I’ve been waiting for serious signs that information searching will improve over the clunky status we’ve all become familiar with, this may be an early sign of where it’s heading. If so, I like it.

  • Will More Ads = More Revenue for FeedBurner Publishers?

    • May 7, 2009 - Trying to monetize news feeds with direct ads is an absolute Fail of an idea from start to finish. That so many smart companies make such dumb decisions never stops amazing me.

    I thought it was time to drop an update though, and there’s some exciting news to share for those of you who are members at our forum, and if you’re not a member–why is that?

    First, we’ve added some new sections and HUGE shares there for folks who are serious about growing their sites or business, if that’s you then check it out!

    Next, our “Code-Master” has been busy building virtual assistants lately. Little spiders and bots to do some of the niche researching and link building grunt work that most marketers and site owners find time consuming and even annoying; and he’s begun sharing them openly on the forum for others.

    Also, Heather just shared an impressive Twitter 101 for people who struggle with getting value from their time spent tweeting, don’t miss that in the Web 2.0 section of the forum. When it comes to “getting the most” out of social media I don’t believe there’s anybody out there that does it better than Heather, and the proof is she doesn’t waste her time trying to hawk “How To” manuals to newbies for a living, she just does what she does in her niches and makes a killing with it! So, any time she’s willing to share some insights like this my mouth starts to water.

    For almost a year now my NIMS scripts have been doing great for me and others using them, but I’m never satisfied with anything and have been working on a new version of the script that’s going to blow the socks off of everyone who has seen the original in action. That’ll be released in the next week or two, and may even end up being free for VIP members of the forum, you never know…

    That’s what’s going on around here and what I’ve been up to. How and what have you been doing lately? Seriously, I want to know so tell me below.

  • Google Desperately Trying to Make YouTube Profitable

    • April 17, 2009 - Lesson here = high traffic never automatically means revenue online, and having a smart plan for returns before building your project is always better than hoping you can plug a revenue system in later.
