All Bands Should Take Names from Photoshop | The Rogue Parent
Dec 11, 2008 10:41am    (2 reviews)  humor, photoshop, band-names, funny, bands  http://therogueparent.com/blog?p=495
Time and time again my co-workers and I talk about how many great band names are out there for the taking in Photoshop. Yeah you won't find names like Red Hot Chili Peppers or The Rolling Stones but you will get some hidden gems like Gaussian Blur.
Submitting to Social Media Sites for Successful Link Bait
Dec 11, 2008 6:58am    (3 reviews)  marketing, social-networking, social-media, seo, link-building  http://www.searchenginejournal.com/socia...
In his recent post at SEOmoz, Tom mentioned submitting to (niche) social media sites as an important step of any link bait (once you get past your link bait roadblock):

* you get links from social media sites (which is good in any case);
* you get attention of the community of people who are interested particularly in your topic (which means more comments and new loyal readers);
* you get more links (if you are lucky and smart enough) from people frequenting those social sites;
* you get more social media connections (outside SEO niche) which means more help in the future.
PPC TLA's: WTH are KPI's?
Dec 11, 2008 6:57am    (1 review)  business, advertising, pay-per-click, marketing, ppc  http://www.searchenginejournal.com/ppc-t...
For some reason, internet marketing is full of TLA's - Three Letter Acronyms. And TLA is my favorite TLA.

What The Heck is a KPI?

One of those acronyms that frequently furrows brows in the conference rooms is KPIs:

* No, not Keylime Pie Instructions
* Not Kit Kat Possession Indulgence Syndrome

Key Performance Indicators.
Brian Carter Social Media Guy: WHY Human Rights Day??? Why You? Why...

Human Rights? Who Gives a $%&#???

"So what? Who cares?"

Yeah, that's a pretty disaffected attitude, not uncommon for an American, really. WIIFM- what's in it for me? As an advertiser I know I have to think that way about my audience. Advertising often appeals to people's lowest motives, their selfishness....

But with this cause, I have to appeal to your higher motives, your best self, the part of you that at one time actually like John Lennon's "Imagine".

Put simply: If you could do something EASY in 30 seconds to deal with the fact that people just like you are RIGHT NOW being enslaved, tortured, and oppressed, would you?
YouTube - Punk Rock Love Song For Eunice

Lars LeHansa breaks his artistic silence with his first crooner for some girl. As he puts it, "95% of my fans will hate it, but Eunice is just so NICE!" This is take #96, or so Lars claims- I think he just drank for six hours and recorded one take.
