Does blogging help your search results? You bet.

September 17th, 2007

In case you wondered how effective blogging is for search results, it is very effective.
B2B marketing and branding (or business marketing and branding) is our key area of specialisation. Below you see where my blog ranked for some key search terms relating to my business:
Business branding - 3rd out of 55,300,000

The Meme of 8 - eight things you didn’t know about me

July 24th, 2007

Like many, I feel a bit self conscious about this slightly daggy game of “8 things about yourself”, however, I enjoy reading others, so after Nick Rice tagged me, I thought I’d play anyway.

I am 6′7″ or 201 centimeters, which makes international flight only bearable in a bulkhead seat.
I left Holland age 22, lived in […]

Jack Trout never wrote “Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind”.

April 1st, 2007

Well, not according to Wikipedia anyway. This is the entry:
A product’s position is how potential buyers see the product. Positioning is expressed relative to the position of competitors. The term was coined in 1969 by Gary Sinclair and Marty Reilly in the paper “Positioning” is a game people play in today’s me-too market place” in […]

February 1st, 2007

Moved to Wordpress

August 19th, 2006

I’ve moved my blog to wordpress to get the benefit of the additional functionality etc. What I don’t know if all the people who have subscribed to my feed have now suddenly lost me…this was probably a little risky. Please let me know if you have lost my feed and had to come back and […]

The power of change

April 22nd, 2006

I’ve been trying to think about what all of the work I do with customers has in common. Because marketing covers so many different aspects, we get involved in everything from identifying new market opportunities to branding, direct marketing, internet marketing, call centres, you name it.
I just read an interview with Seth Godin (whom some […]

Dialogue, back and forth…let me hear your voice

April 2nd, 2006

All the technology is telling me that a fair few people do read this blog. That’s encouraging, and I will keep this up, improve on it while I’m at it… But I would very much appreciate a bit of feedback, so why don’t you drop in a comment, voice your opinion, let me know what […]

Great idea, poor execution

November 26th, 2005

There is something really frustrating about seeing great ideas go pear shaped. Trial and error is part and parcel of marketing, so it is really no wonder it happens fairly often. On the other hand, I see some clients consistently be more effective than others.
The interesting thing was that those who were successful didn’t […]
