Introducing…Maura Longueil: Photographer Extraordinaire and Galley Wench

Leslie Fishlock No Comments

Who are you and what do you do? My name is Maura Longueil and I’m a compulsively over-committed mother of three. For fun, I hoard large quantities of chocolate and gather lots of smart and crafty people around me in an effort to encourage and foster everyone’s creative spirit. In a fit of shameless self promotion, I will confess that I sell these crafty products for profit at my boutique/studio in Hanover called the {Sassy Boutique} at Abbey Knoll Photography. And when I have a spare moment, I photograph babies, families, seniors, weddings, and a few businesses.   What will….

How to Add Managers to Google+ Brand Pages

Leslie Fishlock No Comments

Google+ recently started Brand Pages for businesses, similar to Facebook Pages. And since the only way one could access a Google+ Brand Page in the beginning was through a personal Gmail account. But, not anymore! Google+ has opened the ability for up to 50 managers working on your Brand Page at any time. The ability to do this may be kind of hidden at first, but is is relatively easy to do and takes only a couple of minutes. Here is how you can add Managers, and delete them as well: Go to your Google+ account. On the left side….

As many of you probably know, Google launched Instant, a search enhancement that shows search results as you type, on September , 2010. This had a lot of marketers scrambling to figure out how SEM strategies and tactics would need to change.

Here are some top highlights to get you started thinking about your next moves:

genevangelist No Comments

Do you have a LinkedIn profile? Are you still not impressed with it? Chances are you are not maximizing and optimizing it for what it’s worth, especially with specific links and anchor text. Here’s how to improve your profile for optimization. On your profile, you have links for your website(s) and blogs. If the anchor text still says, “My Company” and “My Blog”, you are obviously missing out on some great search data for Google and other search engines. Try this instead. Look at the image to the left where the red circle is (click on the image for a….

Get the most relevant Google search results

Put double quotes (“) around the words you’re looking for to get search results that keep those words together and in that specific order. Use the minus sign (-) to exclude specific words that you don’t care about. Some examples: “copy and paste iPhone” makes sure that I get this helpful link, http://bit.ly/92n29b. Searching copy and paste iPhone -flaw makes sure that I get to this without having to sift through a bunch of posts complaining about the feature, like http://bit.ly/cxQwox .

I was kind of shocked by all the outrage and nasty comments of the new Facebook announcement for privacy changes making their rounds on Twitter, Facebook and other sites, considering the first rules of the Internet that everyone should know. So, in total Fight Club manner, I give you those rules. Rule #1: Never post anything to the Internet you never want anyone to….
