ArticleYour Website is Not for You! by Christopher Butler on January 31, 2011Even though creating consumer personas has been a common marketing practice for decades, applying the same principles to website planning tends to be overlooked. But without going through the process of web persona development, your client is much more prone to making guesses or assumptions about who their prospects are. In most cases, their guesses/assumptions will really look more like them than anyone else. Creating web personas, whether they are specific, general, or behavioral, prevents us from mistakenly building websites for ourselves rather than those we want to serve... Read Now About

ArticleYou’re Probably Not the Authority on You by Christopher Butler on January 6, 2011Consider this: As far as Google is concerned, you are probably not the authority on you That is, unless you have a truly unique name or you are extremely prolific and your name is just all over the web. Remember, Google will look for a query and the sources online that have the most to say about the words or phrases in that query. If I kept a blog about Barack Obama for five years before his campaign, I might make it pretty hard for him to be the top Google result for searches for his name. See what I mean? So what to do...

I thought it would make sense to start this year off by specifically naming them and thanking them... Read Now About

Fortunately, we know enough about how search engines work to optimize our content with words, not wands, and in this month's newsletter, you'll learn everything you need to know to do just that...
