Is There a Marketing Baboon Loose in Your Neighborhood?

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

The big news in Saint Louis today is that there appears to be a baboon on the loose.

But what’s worse than a monkey running around your back yard? A business owner that is letting monkeys market his business.
Get that monkey out of your neighborhood!
Don’t let some monkey run your marketing campaign, telling you that you need to be on the radio, on billboards or even on the side of the Metro.  Where you need to be is on page one of Google for your main search term.

And there’s only one guy in Saint Louis that can do that – me.

I’m the number one SEO in Saint Louis (Search Engine Optimization) guy for a reason – because I get your business to the top of Google, Yahoo!, Bing and many other search engines.

Don’t waste any more money on untargeted shotgun marketing schemes.  Get that monkey out of your neighborhood and hire someone that can get you targeted traffic that’s ready to buy.

You Feel Like What?

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

One of the funniest damn things I saw in twitter this week came compliments of Scott Allender (@n3bu1a).  Thanks for the laugh, Scott!

Scott, by the way, is speaking on social media at the upcoming Market Saint Louis seminar in August.  The ticket prices were just dropped to $149 for the all day event, so get yours before they’re all gone! (limited seating)

Oh My Wife’s Gonna Be So Happy

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

So I’m a slacker, and I just decided to start looking for Christmas gifts today.  I toodled around on Amazon for a while, then zipped over to Overstock and thought I’d check out what they had.  I also mentioned it on twitter:

TechLH looking on overstock.com for gifts for the wife. any suggestions?

About 20 minutes later, I get a message from the O:

@TechLH Have you tried our gift finder? http://twurl.nl/ziedz8

Hey cool.  I can get ideas and spend money at their site (smart move, Overstock – or so I thought)

So I click over and punch in “for her”, her age and the fact that she’s my wife, and here’s what I get back

So, which should I get her?

Tuesday is Off to a Great Start

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

I left my house at about 5:50 this morning, and before I got out of the subdivision, I was sitting behind the flashing lights of a police car.

The officer finally walked up to the truck and I asked him what was up.  He asked where I was going, where I lived (umm, right around the corner where you just saw me leave from).  Asked for my license and then gave me some BS about ‘looking for a white Dodge pickup in the area’.  Yeah, ok.

There just happened to be one in the driveway across from where he pulled me over, so I pointed to it and said “there ya go”.  He smiled, gave me back my license and said have a nice day.

Not sure what that was all really about, but whatever.

Doing PPC to Get SEO Gigs

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

So here’s something interesting.  I recently did a search for ‘St Louis SEO‘ on Google.  For the first time I noticed that there are some PPC results on the page, and perhaps they always were.

What concerns me is ‘St Louis SEO’ isn’t really a very competitive term.  This isn’t exactly a hotbed for SEO services.  So why would an SEO company use PPC instead of just rank for something that is what they do?

I can hear the phone conversation with some of these companies..

“Do you rank for the services you provide?”

“Yes, look on the righthand side of the page – we are near the top”

The Job Interview

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

For those of you that know a little about me, you’ll enjoy this…

The Job Interview

A guy goes to the Post Office to apply for a job.

The interviewer asks him, ‘Are you allergic to anything?’

He says ‘Yes – just caffeine’

Have you ever been in the service?

Yes,’ he says. ‘I was in Iraq for two years.’

The interviewer says, ‘That will give you 5 extra points toward employment,’ and then asks, ‘Are you disabled in any way?

The guy says, ‘Yes 100%…an IED exploded near me and blew my testicles off.’

The interviewer tells the guy, ‘O.K. In that case, I can hire you right now. Normal hours are from 8 AM to 4 PM.

You can start tomorrow at 10:00 – And plan on starting at 10 AM every day.’

The guy is puzzled and says, ‘If the hours are from 8 AM to 4 PM, why don’t you want me to be here before 10 AM?*

‘This is a government job,’ the interviewer says. ‘For the first two hours we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that.’

iPhone Compassion International

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

I’ve already informed my wife that I want the new 3G iPhone and that I’ll be canceling my current Treo with Sprint.

If you were one of the unfortunate souls (aka early adopters) and now you’re wishing you could do something with your 1gen iPhone when you get your new one, there’s hope.
