Effective Web performance demands that a site take responsibility for [...]

6 Oct 2008Marketing has traditionally been a two-pronged attack on your mind and your wallet, designed to find the most effective ways to reach your mind, and get you to part with your money.
The techniques used to identify who to go after, how to go after them, and why this message will work drives a social media [...]

Blog Advertising: Toward a Better Model
In: Blogging| The Web| advertising| social media
18 Sep 2008This week, I have been discussing the different approaches to blog analytics that can be used to determine what posts from a blog’s archive are most popular, and whether a blog is front-loaded or long-tailed.
