July 30, 2008SEO Training: What’s Your Favorite Flavor?
Next week’s episode of SEM Synergy will feature a segment on search engine optimization training. Since Virginia and Susan got to square off and debate the topic on the radio show, I thought I’d give you a preview here on the blog. Mostly because I think SEO training is a pretty important topic, and also [...]

Can You Be A Corporate Blogger Without Losing Yourself?
One of the topics I discussed with my new BlogHer friends last weekend was the struggles that come with trying to maintain your own voice when you agree to blog for a corporation.

The Use of Fake Avatars In Social Media
Creating fake avatars as a way to boost your social media efforts – it’s a topic I’ve tried my best to stay away from tackling. Mostly because I don’t want a riot to break out on the blog. I’d rather those riots take place elsewhere and leave our blog filled with talk of unicorns and [...]

Newsflash: BlogHer Supports Women
Michael Gray gave Google the day off and decided to pick on women instead, or more specifically, BlogHer. Michael claims that the BlogHer conference is guilty of sexual discrimination. He’s offended that there weren’t any male speakers included on the BlogHer agenda and says males who did attend were treated as second class citizens. Cry [...]
Guestblogging Week at Bruce Clay Aug 4-8!
You may want to sit down for this. I’m getting ready to do something I haven’t done in…forever. Something that until this day I have only ever seen in movies or read about on other people’s blogs. Something Bruce and Susan have been trying to get me to do for at least a year. I’m [...]
