    • Why You Don’t Want Free Website Content

    • January 4, 2012 - Posted by Ninja Jen Van Iderstyne to Branding, Web Content, Website Quality
    • During some routine keyword research I stumbled across some keywords related to “Free Website content”.   It looked something like this: Ok so in terms of relative search volume that’s not too bad. But it does say there’s still a good chunk of people out there who haven’t gotten the memo about content in a post-Panda world.  So for anyone who is still missing the writing on the wall when it comes to writing on the web, here’s...

    • Getting Scannable: Practical QR Code Marketing Ideas

    • December 28, 2011 - Posted by Ninja Bonnie to Branding, QR Codes, Tips and Tricks
    • No one will deny, QR Code Marketing is the new mobile marketing trend for both large brands and small businesses alike. QR codes have a unique ability to break the barrier between offline campaigns and online marketing efforts in real time.  They’re also appealing because of their low cost of implementation. It also seems like your imagination is the limit when it comes to thinking up new and fresh ways to use QR codes. Have you been thinking about using QR codes as another...

    • We Build Pages will be changing its name to Internet Marketing Ninjas….in a few months…. Wow…it was a little over 12 years ago I went online for the very first time. Two weeks after getting online I bought the domain name WeBuildPages.com. A week after that I and designed my first site (webuildpages.com) and I gave the site the slogan of “Designing and Marketing Websites”. When I bought the name, WeBuildPages.com, at the time I thought...

    • What If Google Killed Puppies?

    • January 14, 2009 - Posted by Lisa Barone to Branding, Google
    • Hi, I’m Lisa and I’m codependent. Don’t judge me, you are too. I’m getting caught up after spending the past few days hobbling around Affiliate Summit (you can find coverage for Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 at Hoffman’s House) and stumbled across an interesting poll recreated by TechCrunch. The question at hand was: “What would make you switch search engines?” This morning the results looked like this: [click to enlarge. floss regularly.] I know now that 58...

    • Love Means Never Having to Fake It

    • December 29, 2008 - Posted by Lisa Barone to Branding, Social Media
    • Okay, this is probably one of those posts where I come off like a jerk who wasn’t hugged enough as a child, but I’m going to say it anyway. Deal with it. You can’t automate everything. In fact, some things should NOT be automated. For example: If you automate your marriage, you’ll find yourself divorced. If you automate your parenting, you’ll find yourself with children who grow up to hate you and put you in a home when you’re...

    • Keep Innovating or Prepare To Be Run Over

    • - Posted by Lisa Barone to Branding
    • You’re getting soft. You’re sticking to what was once big and you’re not moving beyond that. You’re not hungry.You’re not forward-thinking. You’re out there sitting in the pit of fake celebrity and you don’t even notice the others coming up around them to steal their glory. It’s kind of ridiculous how badly you suck. You have to keep moving forward. I have to ask. TechMeme has met TechFuga, America needs a reboot, Sphinn is reusing the same titles,...

    • My Love/Hate Relationship With Marketers

    • November 25, 2008 - Posted by Lisa Barone to Branding, Social Media
    • Like a link ninja, I, too, lead a double life. By birth, I’m a 20-something addicted to social media. I’m am connected to Twitter every second, I log in to Facebook 2-3 times a day, I Stumble, I Reddit and I altogether have no life because I’m too busy writing about my life on all the social media platforms. By trade, I’m a marketer. I know the power of social media sites. I know how important it...

    • An Open Letter to Big Brands Everywhere

    • November 20, 2008 - Posted by Lisa Barone to Branding
    • Big Brands of the world, You should be embarrassed. You should be so embarrassed that you are under your desk rocking back and forth because rocking is the only way to express how absolutely embarrassed you are. You don’t know what I’m talking about, do you? Of course you don’t. For you to know you’d actually have to be paying attention to what’s going on around you, and we both know that you’re not. I didn’t have time...

    • A Social Media Fall From Grace

    • November 18, 2008 - Posted by Lisa Barone to Branding
    • There’s a perception both in real life and on the Internet that once you’ve reached a certain level of success, you’re untouchable.  That at some point you become “better” than the average bear, that you have more leeway with your actions, and that people will forgive you faster. I’d like to point out that this idea is not always true. In fact, it’s wrong more often than it is right. Meet Mark Cuban. For awhile, Yelp...

    • Lisa’s PubCon Takeaway: Avoid Paralyzing Perfection

    • November 17, 2008 - Posted by Lisa Barone to Branding, Social Media
    • I know I’ve written about this before over on the Bruce Clay, Inc. blog (I can’t find the post, sadly), but I need to write about it again. If not for you, then strictly for myself. Last week at PubCon I ventured out of my comfort zone and attended the Effective Affiliate Strategies panel. In three years of liveblogging and conference going, I had never once attended an affiliate session before. This year I decided to...
