blogging: Google malfunction today could be pricey!
- 01/31/09 03:48 AM
Shocked by Google find? Google was showing a warning message for all searched sites for 15 mins - hour. "Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer" Visit Monitter.com and type in that message, and you'll see just how active the Twitter microblogosphere was regarding this bizarre find. A few independent webpages state that Google makes $28-33K a minute from US business advertisers (via AdWords program). That's quite the cashcow! Things seem to be smoothly running again, although suggestions have been made to check 'spam' folder if you use Gmail as some items may have erroneously been dumped. The … (7 comments)
blogging: New Blog Format or How to Blog and Keep Sane
- 03/01/08 04:59 AM
A huge component of staging is organization and getting rid of clutter--and I figure, why not apply that to my blog? I've been blogging for just over a month now and the idea floodgate springs forth! To keep it simple, for myself and readers, I'm going to start a "blog schedule" of posts. Basically, I've sorted through the types of things I am (or will be) blogging and realized they actually do fall into categories. So readers, cheer up! Each weekday will now have a theme! (Don't you love a good theme?) Check it out: Monday Morning Marketing MeetingOkay, an expensive … (12 comments)
blogging: Are You Serious? Bad Online Advice and the Aftermath
- 02/21/08 04:24 AM
If you’re not familiar with Trulia.com, you should be. It’s a great tool for consumers in the real estate market. One of its best features is Trulia Voices, a Q&A forum. I recently answered a question from a home owner asking about staging for their home. They live in a different state and are not in my "market area," but I believe in sharing advice and no other comments had been posted from an actual stager. The questioner wanted to know about costs and asked for referrals! One answerer was a true gem: they talked about the ROI (Return on Investment) of … (22 comments)
blogging: How I Became a Celebrity OR The Theory of Scratch 'n Sniff
- 02/18/08 11:38 AM
Today I was busy dealing with a case of the Mondays (so much to do, so little time!), and didn't get my daily dose of rain until after 6 PM. That's when I umped on my email and blog and discovered....I'D BEEN DISCOVERED!
Okay, to my credit, I am a published writer and was almost a television star. (I turned down an offer to be in a commercial advertising a Mexican tienda...) But even though I'm not on a Mexican-whoa-oh-radio ad, I've been blessed with something truly special: A HIDDEN GEM DESIGNATION! Here I've been telling anyone that would … (16 comments)
blogging: Comment Commitment: Why I’d Like to Get my Feet Wet before Jumping Headfirst
- 02/05/08 03:09 PM
I get it all the time: “You seem older,” or “I just knew you were older. Oh, no, not the way you look, it’s the way you act (carry yourself, behave, insert other verb here).” After the initial chagrin wears off (they must really think I LOOK old), I do accept this as a compliment. How did I end up this way? Well, I grew up around adults more than kids. And I grew up down South…that means don’t speak unless you’re spoken to, which translates into a whole lot of listening. I was at the family business office far more … (16 comments)
