Marketing tip: don’t add insult to injury

There is no justifying this. Certainly, the ad grabs peoples attention, but it’s the bad kind of attention. Not the public image your company is looking for. The WTC advertisement was supposedly done by M&C Saatchi, but I find that hard to believe. If this ad was serious, they really need to rethink their marketing […]

Simple way to improve your Technorati rank

If you have an established blog of any level, chances are you get a lot of backlinks to your site that Technorati and Google don’t pick up on right away.

It worked. 80 diggs later, the link hits the front page of digg and the story starts to receive […]

This ad started as a SpreadFirefox.com project to […]

March 1, 2007

Oh why does Google hate me so? Ontora.com’s been around for over a year now. When I moved the blog to WordPress.com, it took Google a few weeks to figure out that it was the same site. Eventually they counted all of the links to Ontora.com as links to Ontora.WordPress.com, giving the new blog […]
