We helped a friend/client launch a blog in October and it has been some of the most successful blog marketing we have done to date in the realms of blog optimization and social media saturation to a brand new domain and website.

Sadly it’s more a show off than a case study. The info is rather scarce so we only know they did but not how, where etc.

I don’t get how so many people show case studies and never say the sites. The door to door salesmen and cold callers that harass me daily all tell of the great things they do for their clients, and yet there is usally nothing there. I’m not putting the author down at all. I respect Andy Beard and Andy respects the author, it’s just that it is frustrating to see the great case studys without one shred of evidence. As a person who made his money by cold calling high powered executives, Dr’s and lawyers for over a decade (I was a stockbroker and did exceedingly well, in fact made over six figures a month before the stock market crashed in 2000) this is all fluff. In fact - what I just wrote should seem as fluff and heresay to all that read it without and proof to back it up.  By the way, my main office is at 45 main Street, Suites 307, Brooklyn NY 11201 and anyone can visit me to see Iam for real. One of My main websites is  ( don’t want to spam here) is successfuloffice. Just add a dot com on the end.  Not that I am an SEO person or telling people how fantastic I am, just that after a while the self promotion even if real gets tire-some unless you back it up with REAL facts, not case studies that anyone can write. My own webmaster printed a case study by some SEO guy on one of my sites with facts that even I don’t agree with regarding Digg and one of my sites called earthfrisk.com Fluff is all it is and as the old saying goes, believe only half of waht you see, and NOTHING of what you hear or read.

Hey guys, I posted at the top of the post, Sorry, but my client wouldn’t let me release the info, I want to share it anyways. I put in the post I hate case studies without sites as well. And I have two sites both of which have said I could use their info that I am working on sharing. Nothing makes me more mad then sites talking it up but never showing anything backing it up, that is why I prefaced the article saying the same.

It submitted it based on it being an example of the potential of success you can have if your marketing campaign is done right.

I hear what you guys are saying. As someone who comes here exclusively to seek out people to hire in your field ( I am not a professional social media person and do not intend on being one), the pitch is very similar to that of a cold caller. For the readers who have been around a long time ( as in age or experience) it is a hollow pitch and almost not worth posting as i have to turn away the cold calls daily.  Viper - you have some pretty good articles on your site. I prefer your informative ones like http://www.viperchill.com/blog/what-are-social-media-marketing-and-social-media-optimisation/Less hype and more of your knowlegde sells better than the hype of a case study, even when real.
