Written by Tarla | April 30th, 2009 |

Anyone involved in search engine optimization knows that the key is in the keywords.

A successful campaign will be most possible when you consider each keyword from various angles and metrics.

Ad Tech San Francisco / Travel

Written by Alex | April 29th, 2009 |

Here is a quick recap of recent travels:

Ad Tech San Francisco: Always a good show, I would say attendance was down slightly but not too noticeable. The buzz was similar to recent shows; mobile, local, behavioral, attribution. The best part is seeing folks in the industry and getting to get behind the scenes on what the folks in the trenches are up to, and the views from the top of San Fran’s hotels are one of the best places to catch up.

Google Updates Product Search for Mobile

Written by Lindsey | April 23rd, 2009 |

In these days of ‘recession chic’ I’ve had to cut back on one of my favorite past times. Shopping. I love to browse and look at stuff (even if I have no need for any of the shiny new toys I have my eyes on). However, that being said, when I am ready to make a purchase – I generally sit down at my computer and troll for a decent amount of time to make sure I have found the absolutely best price on the item I want. (I also religiously and unabashedly search for coupon codes, but that is a different post…)
