Scaling Web Analytics – Considerations for Consumers
In: Internet| The Web| Web Performance| Web analytics| analytics| branding| marketing| social media
13 Apr 2009A comment on my Hit Tracking with PHP and MySQL post raised some interesting questions about what a consumer of Web analytics data needs to consider when selecting providers for their sites.

In: advertising| branding| marketing| social media
6 Oct 2008I spent some time today pairing ideas that separate Branding from Reputation. These came from my discussion of Branding being closed-source and Reputation being open-source [here].
It’s just a start, but it’s a start.

Marketing and Social Media: The Bullseye of Communicating
In: Blogging| The Web| advertising| branding| marketing| social media
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 [...]

Advertising to the Community: Is PageRank a Good Model for Social Media?
In: advertising| social media
29 Sep 2008In previous posts about advertising and marketing to the new social media world [here and here], I postulated that it is very difficult to assign a value to a stream of comments, a community of followers, or a conversation.
As always, Google seems (to think) it has the answer. BusinessWeek reports the vague concept of PageRank [...]

In: Blogging| The Web| advertising| social media
19 Sep 2008Fred Wilson adds his thoughts to the conversation about a more intelligent way to target blog and social media advertising.

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. The thesis is that it’s not always what the words in the blog are that are important.
In a guest post [...]

The Schwimmer Concept: Commercial Aggregation v. Non-commercial Aggregation
In: Blogging| authority| branding| reputation| social media
16 Jan 2005Martin Schwimmer, a tradmark lawyer, has ignited a controversy over “commercial” aggregation services (here and here).
It poses an interesting argument. The gut-reaction instinct is to marginalize his comments as fringe element of the blogosphere. But Russell Beattie’s comments point out that line between public and private, personal and commercial use become extremely blurred in a [...]
