Blogging, Blog Marketing and Search Engine Optimization
Filed Under Favorite Posts, Search Engines, Social Media and Social Networking Sites, blogging | Leave a Comment
Our blog marketing and search engine optimization series is under way.
In this ongoing series we are looking at blogs and blogging in connection with several online marketing channels:
Quite obviously blogs are not laid out sequentially like a book. Even if you write in sequence, your material will be presented to the blog’s reader in reverse sequence. Therefore, I created this post to organize my blogging articles into a handy table of contents.
This is a good place to mention that I’m not writing a textbook or an all-encompassing reference on blogging and blog marketing. Rather, I’m raising issues that could be critical to your success and sharing my thoughts and opinions about them.
There are many books and blogs that deal extensively with the details of blogging, business networking and search engine marketing. I love reading such books, and as we progress, I’ll tell you about many of them.
Disclaimer
I am not giving you business direction or assuming any measure of responsibility for your business decisions. While I believe that my ideas are sound, it is you nevertheless who will determine your path and assume full responsibility for your business results.

Alphabet Wars
Filed Under April Fools | 3 Comments
Entrepreneurs creating social media sites and developers of exotic juice drinks clashed today at a major press conference.
The source of the conflict appears to be the number of letters in the English alphabet. Currently there are 26 according to a recent count by one of the big accounting firms who asked not to be named.
With only 26 letters in the English alphabet, new letter permutations for naming are becoming increasingly scarce.
Several solutions have been proposed:
- Allow each name to be used twice, once by a social media site and once by a juice drink. This would allow a media site to be called Zrii and a drink to be named Xing.
- Make all names fully case sensitive. Noni can be spelled noni, nOni, NOni, noNi, etc. Similarly Digg, DIgg, diGg, digG, etc.
- Ignore conventions such as u after q. Qassia has already exploited this. Watch, one of the juice companies will probably retaliate before long.
- Import letters from other languages such as Hebrew or Russian. Since most of the sites and drink names are already unpronounceable, this particular objection could not possibly stand in the way. Text processors would have to be updated. Bill Gates is said to be considering the implications with glee.
- Precede all names with a prefix, sort of like an area code. You might see 1-212-Facebook. Not only would this ploy be cumbersome, the “new” AT&T could consider this a form of infringement.
- Wait to see if the problem goes away. This remedy was suggested by officials high up in the Social Security Administration and praised by the president.
Yours truly, a notable problem solver and all around nice guy was asked his opinion. He said, and I quote, “Don’t worry so much. Today is April 1st. Go to sleep, and when you wake, you’ll realize that it was only a bad dream.”

Qassia is a new social media site that can help you promote yourself and your websites.
You contribute tidbits of information or complete articles called intel and you rate other users’ intel. In exchange you receive direct exposure to your links, quality backlinks to your sites, and potential ad revenue from your intel pages.
Qassia is completely free. Visit the site, become a member and start exploring to find your niche.
As of this writing, I have contributed more than 15 intels, and my Online Social Networking blog is ranked #21 among their Top 50 Sites.
