Get Out of Your Comfort Zone and Make the Most of a Conference
March 27, 2009 by Keri Morgret · 1 Comment
I went to a poker game instead of my senior prom. In fact, I ditched my entire senior year and went to the community college instead. I met my husband over a broken network cable in the “geek dorm” at college. Somewhere in my life between hanging out in the school library and my technical writing job documenting why the PDP-11 with 8-inch floppy drives didn’t have antivirus software, I missed learning how to deal with the whole people and networking aspect of a conference. I have learned some ways to push myself out of my comfort zone (which sitting in a corner by myself reading the expo hall magazine giveaways at lunch and watching cable tv alone in my off-site motel room after sessions) and get a lot more out of a conference.

Starbucks Instant Makes A Splash with SMM & IM
March 20, 2009 by Megan Slick · 5 Comments
On March 3rd Starbucks entered the $17 billion instant coffee market with the launch of Starbucks Via Ready Brew instant coffee. That’s right, I said INSTANT. Don’t think that you’re the first to question it. Starbucks Gossip, CNN, and everyone else has already been there. Wait just a minute though, Starbucks might have something. If only they could educate, engage, and connect the public to Via … or have they already?

If you or a client operate several sites that utilize Adsense to improve monthly revenue then you may have struggled with the best way to present that information in your reports. The following approach is how our company organizes information for our clients, and it works well enough that we’ve adopted it for our own sites.

It’s my first post here at SEO Scoop (hi, y’all!) so I suppose I should take a moment to introduce myself to those who don’t know me yet. My name is Diane; online I’ve been known as Torka since the early 1990’s (and I’ll answer to either). I’ve been doing this “website thing” in one capacity or another for around 15 years.

You know the drill. The companies, politicians, average Joe, etc that get recognition are not the ones that follow the rules so why are we all jumping off the same bridge?
The true formula for link building gold
March 4, 2009 by James Duthie · 6 Comments
Today I want to talk link building. To be frank… I’m not a master link builder. In fact, I’m not even an everyday SEO. I am but a humble web marketing strategist (with a solid grasp of SEO concepts). However, that doesn’t mean I haven’t managed to pick up a few nuggets while running my own marketing blog. And today I wanted to share one of those lessons with you. It’s not rocket science, but I think it’s an important lesson for every budding marketer to recognize. The lesson is all about link quality.
