Lead generation best practices white paper
Sorry to disappoint you, but it is not about minimizing barriers. It is actually interesting stuff about best practises acquired during several years of lead generation for a Fortune 500 company. One of the points is how to effectively follow up generated leads, a less covered topic.…

Pros and Cons of Pay for Performance SEO Pricing Models
A guy offered me 10% of every sale, if I helped him. He was not selling anything and about to go under. This guy was into debt heavy. I agreed to the deal and got him position one on many of his keywords. Sales started to come in.Then he said that he did not have to pay me. This is becau…

Real time search engines; the hype and the reality
Agreed on that point as well - it is a rare occasion that I actually care about up-to-the-minute news/information. A lot of this really is a 'buzz' monitoring approach more than anything and the flavour of the month as well. As we noted, much of the current stock are little more than social aggregat…

Lead generation best practices white paper
Good to see someone pointing this out. Data I have from respected source Marketing Sherpa is that most companies have already invested in Google Ads and SEO (filling in the pipeline bucket) but NOT in ensuring our Sales Funnel does not leak . I found the details in this White Paper pretty persuasive…

Get a Website Indexed with No Links and XML Sitemaps
@sebastian yes pinging was turned off@stevec828 sometimes when you work on large sites with over 100,000 pages you'll want to speed up the natural crawling of really deep pages. And yes there are legitimate sites with over 100,000 pages.…

It’s All About Local Organic Domination
Ahh.. Quite nice when Google does exactly what you want.  If only all our customers could get such exclusivity!What we're seeing here is the result of an exact name match combined with ambiguity on the geomodifier.  The "New Orleans" token is not deemed as a specific location landmark.…

Pros and Cons of Pay for Performance SEO Pricing Models

Get a Website Indexed with No Links and XML Sitemaps
Well, I'm not sure how accurate this test is. Wordpress by default pings Ping-o-Matic which sends information about new post/page on Wordpress to over 20 pinging services. If pinging feature hasn't been disabled then the real reason of indexing may be pinging - not the XML sitemap.Unfort…

What is so fantastic about this case study?! Hasn't anybody noticed that this chiropractor has no less than three top-ten listings (positions B, C and F today)?!
