facebook: Why Advertisers Should Not Forget About Yahoo! - 09/14/14 04:43 AM
“Yahoo? Does anyone still use that?” The search engine that took the world by storm in the 2000s is far from gone, despite what you might think. The Tampa Bay Business Journal has cited seven interesting (and surprising!) facts about the current nature of Yahoo and encouraging us that it’s more active than ever.
1. According to data from BIA/Kelsey, about 16 percent of U.S. consumers use Yahoo for local shopping. The percentage for Hispanic consumers who use Yahoo for local shopping is slightly higher.
2. Yahoo has a large audience with mobile users. Research from comScore found that 82.4 percent of U.S. … (2 comments)

facebook: Find Out What’s Trending on Facebook - 01/18/14 05:41 AM

Facebook is constantly innovating its application.  2014 is no exception. My colleague, Rachel Perez, recently published a post about a new tool introduced by Facebook. The social media giant has adopted a “Trending” feature located on the upper right hand side of your page. “The list is personalized, including topics based on things you are interested in and what is trending across Facebook overall,” says Engineering Manager Chris Struhar. The new feature was set forward when Facebook noticed its growing popularity, predominantly through Twitter. Facebook is more than aware of the success of their rival and have also adopted the use … (3 comments)

facebook: How I Got Another Web Site Client From Facebook - 01/08/14 12:36 PM
Is your web site dusty? 
I have researched hundreds of real estate domains. It is surprising to see how many web sites lack social media integration. In fact most sites look very dated and do not take advantage of the visual display advances that have been introduced in recent years.
A web site is like a car. You need a new one every 5-10 years. You need to put on new tires and change the filters and belts once in a while. Web sites no longer need to cost $10-$15k unless you ask for some serious functionality that requires a lot … (7 comments)

facebook: What Is The #2 Social Media Network In Terms Of ACTIVE Users? - 07/03/13 12:32 AM
After celebrating only its 2nd birthday last month, a major social media network has grown up very fast and it's time for you to take notice, like it or not. Projected to overtake Facebook within the next 36 months (According to SearchMetrics), Google+ has already become the #2 ranked social media network in terms of active users.
At one time, MySpace occupied that spot, but their user base is not so active anymore. Similarly, Twitter has a lot of users, but in terms of active users, Google+ trumps them.

facebook: 7 Reasons Why Financial Institutions Should Do Email Marketing - 04/29/11 05:54 AM
Here are just a few reasons why email marketing should be a component of a financial instituion's overall marketing program: 1) Their competitors are doing it. When a consumer has a need the will tend to remember the most recent interaction they had with a bank. If that happened to be an e-newsletter or blog post then that financial institution will likely get first crack at the business. 2) Email marketing is a perfect fit for a customer loyalty strategy. Providing useful information that helps people understand and manage their finances makes those relationships more sticky. 3) Before the Internet, many … (2 comments)

I am surprised that I witnessed the Dow Jones Industrial Average break 12,000 this month amidst all the signs of a jobless recovery.  Even "Mr. Fed", Ben Bernanke himself, has little optimism about our so-called economic recovery (see his quote below). You would think that unrest in the oil rich Middle East and North Africa would cause investor confidence to falter - uncertainty is the enemy of stock … (0 comments)
