Search Trend Optimization

Over the past two weeks, I actually did an experiment on my blog by posting a short post about the IT Show 2007 in Singapore. Since the IT Show 2007 was round the corner then, I was wondering if it would be possible to optimize that page for that keyword. Here are the results! So it [...]

Engage your customers in conversation. Or else.

Every time I make a trip to the SIM Management House at Namly Avenue for a workshop, the advert there for their professional development courses that never fails to catch my eye! So I was thinking, should we have something like that for corporate blogging? Heh. Anyway, if you are interested in what was [...]

Breaking the next barrier on Technorati

Just today, I was checking out the links coming in to this blog (using the WordPress dashboard) and I realised that these two days marked a milestone achieved for this blog, well, at least, in terms of Technorati authority. Technorati measures the rankings of a blog in terms of the number of incoming links from other [...]

Are you providing email support or email reply?

Having bummed around on the Internet for some time now, I’ve had my fair share of making purchases from websites that promised me to make a decent income online using their programs, only to find that they are just scams or unethical ways of promotion.

Price as a powerful motivator and winning auctions

I was over at Ikea (the furniture store) over the last weekend, and just as I exited the store, I noticed that there were a lot of people gathered, just as if there was a performance going on.

Who should not blog?

I was thinking, there has been so much encouragement for businesses and individuals alike to start blogging - and after reading several books, blogs and articles, it is no doubt that blogging is the current wave of user generated content, and virtually anyone who has or has not used a computer can blog. Take a peek [...]

What are the prerequisites of being a consultant?

For those who have followed this blog for a couple of months now, you must already realised that I really enjoy sharing the interesting things I have found as I have progressed, and particularly for this blog, the stuff I’ve learnt about marketing though social media, or rather more specifically, through the use of blogs.
