I’m not going to Barnes and Nobles Today!
They built a Barnes and Nobles within a few miles of my home and it’s really a stunning store. I seem to always have a difficult time actually finding my books there, though. Borders seems to have a more finite means of organizing their shelves. Anyways, I really enjoy both stores but I’ve found myself at Barnes and Nobles more…

The Perception of Effort Matters in Business
Because it “looks like you’re trying,” Seth writes. A dear friend of mine is out of town meeting with an organization about a nice position with them. I argued, begged, and pleaded with him to wear a suit. It’s a position where a suit is appropriate and fully within the salary offered. I tried everything… no budge. “I don’t do…

AddThis Adds Personal Targeting to Improve Engagement, Conversions and Revenue
Most of the marketing technology world is focused on getting visits. Link baiting is off the charts and it’s resulting in terrible results for marketers. Getting someone to your site is actually pretty easy, but keeping them there and actually encouraging them to do business with you is quite complex. Even on a publication like ours, increasing our viewership is…

Should You Optimize Content for Wide Screens?
I’d love a user experience expert to chime in on this post. I’ve been watching as more and more technology sites are maximizing the viewport (the viewable region of your device) and I’m not really that impressed. I don’t believe that, if you have more resolution that you need to use that resolution. Here’s a breakdown of the top resolutions…

The Email and Social Media Jugalbandi
We recently published an inbound marketing crash course that provides 5 emails sent weekly (subscribe on the tab on our agency site). One of the series of emails focuses totally on email marketing, which we refer to the linchpin of any inbound marketing effort.

New Website, Take II
I had a great conversation this morning with Jeb from smallbox. (That’s right, I madonna’ed him. If you don’t know who Jeb is, where have you been?) Nevermind the fact that I accidentally ordered a double-shot, and I can’t hold my hands still right now, I’m pretty sure that what he said to me would have seemed just as profound…

James Carville and the 3 Keys of Successful Marketing
1.webp” class=”s3-img” border=”0″ alt=”james_carville.jpg” align=”right” /> Yesterday, I watched Our Brand Is Crisis – a fascinating documentary of Washington political consultants, Greenberg Carville Shrum, hired to help a Gonzalo “Goni” Sanchez de Lozada win back the Bolivian presidency. In the documentary, James Carville’s firm is running the campaign. It worked. They won. Sort of. I’m not a fan of Mr.…

Think about this one before you answer. It’s a great question. I’m not a fan of…

Stop Bailing, Let’s Invest in the Opportunity of Social Media
Americans hate to lose a war, period. In one view, the dying automotive industry is a war we think we’re losing. I don’t believe we’re losing anything; I believe we’re progressing. Jobs moving overseas always sound ominous, but people ignore that we’re creating new jobs in this nation that have never been heard before. I’m a living example of this.…
