Chat To Text App For FaceBook

Ok folks, I’m on the fence about this new chat to text application for FaceBook but it’s worth mentioning considering the STAGGERING amount of traffic that social site commands on a daily basis (Has likely crushed myspace in terms of daily unique visits and time spent per visit). Two brilliant dudes out of Florida have created a new application which enhances the ability for users to connect with people directly from their facebook app to their friends via SMS or text messages to their handheld device. Whether or not this is actually useful remains to be seen, but the target demographic is obviously for those who live and die by what they stick on their facebook profiles. Considering I log into facebook maybe once or twice a month (maybe more now that I’m developing apps for facebook myself), it doesn’t necessarily appeal to me, but the monetization model behind it is nothing short of brilliant and despite it’s MLM like structure, it is definitely one of those cool facebook apps that have developers salivating considering the earning potential.

PPC WebSpy – This tool is INSANE

After using the PPC WebSpy tool that Brad Callen has been giving away, I have found some UNBELIEVABLE sets of keywords and some unbelievably STUPID adwords advertisers that are literally throwing money into the toilet with their campaigns. It often amazes me how many people literally have NO FRIGGEN CLUE how to advertise on Google Adwords. Using some nifty adwords spytools, we can uncover what these idiots are doing and PPC WebSpy is definitely one of the more useful tools…… Read more of PPC WebSpy - This tool is INSANE

Niche Blueprint Review

Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been following what Steve is teaching within the Niche Blueprint system. The great thing about their course is they are releasing each module spread out over time as opposed to dumping the whole thing your lap and just assuming you’ll follow along. Using the “delayed delivery” approach, they can assess where people are having questions and adapt the next module to answer those specific questions or revisit the previous module to fill in the gaps – it’s brilliant and something most other ‘blueprints’ aren’t doing.

At this point of the Niche BluePrint course, they’re up to module 5. The previous sections covered are listed below.… Read more of Niche Blueprint Review

Tavis Explains Search Engine Optimization / SEO

Following up my last post about the “Smartest Guy On The Web” experiment, some people have emailed me and asked what exactly is SEO or search engine optimization – in simple terms.

In a nutshell, it’s basically the process of selecting the most appropriate targeted keyword(s) and keyword phrases related to your product, service, article, promotional offer, etc etc and ensuring that this particular phrase is going to actually appear in the search results when someone searches for your stuff. There’s absolutely no point in having the prettiest/coolest/most colorful/(insert appropriate adjective here) website in the world if nobody is ever going to find you.

Looks like Phil Henderson has pretty much revealed EVERYTHING I’ve talked about in their Stupidly Simple SEO search engine optimization guide.

Mobile marketing isn’t optional any more…

This is an outstanding article about where eCommerce is headed and how the web is converging from desktop to mobile phone… Oh the possiblities…

By Mitch Joel, Vancouver Sun January 16, 2009

A long while back, I made a decision to make the switch from marketing on the Internet to the amazing and unchartered world of mobile. Slowly, the adoption of people using their phones on the go was becoming more commonplace. The devices no longer looked like someone was screaming into a cream-coloured brick, and the idea of sending short text messages via these devices was taking off with a new wave of communications in places like Japan and Korea. It was starting to no longer be frowned upon or considered rude when a telephone was ringing during a romantic dinner at a restaurant. Can you remember the good ole’ days when someone was considered a crazy person if they were seen talking to themselves in a car?… Read more of Mobile marketing isn't optional any more...
