Last time the frog broke news on the new “post to your place page” feature in the Google LBC. It was nice to have it picked up by Blumenthal and read his enlightening thoughts on understanding “post to your place page” feature’s importance.
Today I noticed another new feature, “Service Areas” (something every small service business [...]
I found an interesting service today and thought I would mention it in a quick rant.
For anyone concerned with a user friendly interface (and who isn’t?) this tool is brilliant. And it even has a free service!

Heat maps show where users look most (/look first) on your webpages. This particular service uses an algorithm that [...]
So as far as I can tell Google just rolled this update out.
The Google Local Business Center (the dashboard where businesses can edit their local business listings) has added a new feature:

It seems to be a some sort of blogging functionality for creating posts about your business which then show up [...]
There has been a lot of talk about these new ads:
Google Intros Local Listing Ads to LBC in Limited Markets - Blumenthal
My Thoughts on Google Local Listing Ads - David Mihm

In one of my binders I had the following article about the founder of Tripod and his business startup adventure:
Luck or Smart?
My personal opinion (for what its worth) is that entrepreneurs are prepared. That is that they are prepared for the opportunities that are out there. They are prepared to take advantage of them and [...]
Book Yourself Solid by Michael Port is expanding into a certified consulting program.
I am not one for being overworked and overbooked by any means and believe that balance and living are more important than money, so at first I judged the book negatively by its cover. (that is never a good thing…)
Finally curiosity got the [...]
So I haven’t given Google AdManager yet. (probably a bad way to start a post about it, but…)
But I started an account and I receive the announcement emails.
And on Sept 24 (2009) Google announced the Google AdManager youtube channel.
I love tutorials.
I have been quite busy lately with various projects for myself and clients.
I have a large online project that I currently maintain and I am launching an online marketing campaign for a new client.
I have three personal online marketing projects that I am working on. And I have two local marketing campaigns I am maintaining [...]
This old article on Apple Computer’s original garage office has hung in my garage for a long time inspiring me.
Apple is a rather inspiring company. Steve Jobs in particular has always stayed focused on a strong vision for the company.
(sidenote: I like Apple the company and believe their products are much better than *cough* MS [...]
