| | Re: Google Goggles yea.. saw this.. pretty cool stuff. Still in its infancy but it will get better. As a search engine, trying to help people find what they are looking for, i think it is very smart of Google to make a play in this space. Not only is it a nice … |

| | Given my work schedule, I try to do as much online shopping as possible and Free shipping is a big selling point for me. Why drive to the store when you can buy the item and have it directly sent? That is, assuming you know [I]exactly[/I] what you want (size, … |
| | Some people are hell bent on getting your local news/gossip, so I can see a small percentage of people willing to pay for the online access. But with so many other news outlets online, I cannot see this model working long term. It's a shame though... there's really no other … |

| | My company uses Central Desktop to collaborate on various projects. Though, I don't think they have any templates for marketing plans. In my experience, each marketing plan is unique, so I don't think we ever used a software application to help guide the process. That's not to say I never … |
| | [QUOTE=paperkool;1062618]Social Media is more than just being geeky and gossip. It's used for marketing subliminally.

 | What do you mean by "ranked on 7 for a particular keyword." Can you be more specific? Maybe we can help! :) |
| | So what's the plan here? Post a non-topical or slightly agreeable comment and hope Google counts it as a relevant link?

| | I agree with Bob. Concentrate on providing a useful and meaningful destination and the 'backlinks' will take care of themselves.
