Why Use Drupal? 2008-03-18 00:57:16 Here at Avenue Web Media we have chosen Drupal
as our development platform of choice after comparing it to just about every other platform and CMS available.The idea behind Content Management is that there are many types of users involved with a site, from the site administrator to content editors and to anonymous visitors. Each of these types of users have different interests with the site and should also have different levels of access and involvement.read more
Why you probably don't want contextual ads on your commercial site 2008-02-23 11:19:21 Contextual ads, such as the ones served by Google's Adsense, can produce a few extra bucks per month, or even cover a couple of bills if your site has a lot of traffic. However, if your website business model is based on offering your company's products and services, then you are probably better off without contextual ads.read more
Does Your Golf Club Sweep the Ground? 2008-02-21 19:47:07 Sometimes I can drive a golf ball about 350 yards. Sometimes I can throw my back out on a swing and a miss. Sometimes I hit the ball straight up and it comes crashing down hard. I have never had a birdie. But at least I have never hit a bird yet, like Giovanna did once.

Warning Spammers: We Only Promote the Ethical Use of This ____ Generator Tool 2008-02-21 17:33:55 When I read must we piss in every public fountain by Dan Thies, I thought it was a great post. But at the same time, as an internet marketer you have to be pragmatic. Which is why I was unsurprised when 6 months later StomperNet sent out an email suggesting that readers could
visit propeller.com and open up 10 unique accounts using different usernames, email addresses, etc.
Use free email accounts from Yahoo, Gmail, etc. to open up the accounts.

Data Visualization & Discovery 2008-02-21 16:07:35 I have heard of Last.fm, Pandora, and a few other similar sites, but I really think Musicovery is a cool online music tool.
Once information is online it is hard to make it disappear. Recently a US judge closed down Wiki Leaks. But that did not work out too well.

Due to an unavoidable client meeting, I had to miss the first session on the final day of SES London 2008. From speaking to a few people, it sounds like I missed some good ones, so here's hoping the rest of the day keeps up the quality.

Can you guarantee a number 1 position in the search engines? 2008-05-18 14:13:55 No – and yes. We can't control the search engines
(nobody can). To stay in business, search engines must offer the best results or risk losing their users to the competition, so companies like Google and Yahoo will not tamper with the quality of their organic results for money or any other commercial incentive. The only way to rank high is to naturally convince the search engines that our si Read more:guarantee

What factors are involved in search engine rankings? 2008-05-18 13:53:39 A lot of big and small things go into calculating search engine rankings. For instance, Google claims they use over 200 factors
to determine the position of sites in their results. Some of the most important factors can be guessed using common sense. Considering that search engines are actively trying to rank quality sites higher to offer the best possible results to users, it is assumed that anyt
How long does it take to appear in Google? 2008-05-18 13:49:24 It depends on the marketing effort... and common knowledge will vary greatly - we've had to argue with “professionals” that say it takes 6 months to appear
in Google
. In our experience, when executing a proper marketing campaign, new sites take between 2-5 days to show up in Google and 3-7 days to show up in Yahoo.However, establishing good rankings takes a lot longer. Depending on the
Do I need to submit my site to the Search Engines? 2008-05-18 13:45:44 No. Search
engines such as Google and Yahoo have submission forms but these are pointless. For your site to appear in their rankings it must have some level of reputation online via several factors such as in-bound links (IBL) and good content on your site. If these things are not in place, submitting to a search engine will do no good because whether search engines know of your site or not, they
