using internet marketing to grow your business
In case you weren’t aware, you can create a FeedBurner URL with a forward slash in it. I like this because you can design subfolders off of a main folder. Combine with MyBrand, and you have a rather intuitive system for feed URLs.

In my first major attempt to show, not tell, I’ve been working on a screencast series for the ColdFusion on Wheels framework. Once a week, I sit down for a couple hours to record and edit a 5-10 minute screencast demonstrating a feature of the project.
This series has led to quite a few compliments, and people are watching and subscribing to the videos on our site, on YouTube, and on Vimeo.

I have a dream of a glorious website system. One that will tie all channels together and show marketers a clear picture of what’s happening. A system that has an opinion on what the best practices are. A system that is human compatible, not just web server compatible.
The analysts call it an online marketing suite. And apparently I have quite a bit to say about online marketing suites. Read on for the opine.
Have you ever seen one of these little guys next to your blog comment? Have you ever wondered how you could get your picture to show up like some other commenters seem to have the ability to do?

I will be sharing ideas about the more common social artifacts: video, audio, articles, presentations, blogging, and document sharing.
When you spend a large portion of your day online, you probably need a couple different web browsers for the different parts of your life. It was pretty embarrassing one time when I opened a web browser during a client meeting and it loaded up a page from the OkCupid dating site. Oops!
I solved this problem with a web browser called Flock. Read on to find out how it helps.
I finished and implemented Getting Things Done, a book and organization system by David Allen, a couple weeks ago. There are entire sites and dedicated blogs about GTD, so I feel a little outnumbered in trying to give it a review that does it justice. So I’ll just share what it has done for me.
Why not go to Google Alerts and set up some alerts for your name and business name? Google will email you every time it finds a page on the Web talking about you or your business.
Also set up link alerts for your website. So if I wanted an alert for every time Google finds a link to this website, I’d enter this as an alert:
