Google Billing Problems: Phishing Scam »
Posted on April 3rd, 2008 by Justin Seibert in DOM News, Email Marketing, Slightly Off-Topic | Leave A Comment
Hi all. I normally don’t write about these because they happen all the time, but I’ve had a client and a colleague both email me in the last two days regarding the same issue. Consider this my public service announcement for the year.
If you receive an email from Google that says “Account Reactivation” or “Update Your Billing Information” or anything along those lines, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS. It is a scam.

Alright - time for some news about something I’ve wanted to talk about for awhile, but was kind of “embargoed” against doing so.
For those of you not aware of the term “embargo,” I can empathize. The first time I sent out a press release, I had no idea what I was doing. More often than not in life, I have learned via trial by fire, which makes for a toasty, charred backside. By dumb luck, persistence, or some combination, I got an actual editor from a real publication (Time?) on the phone. I explained to her that we had a press release coming out and I wanted to give her early notice, but that they could not yet print anything. She said, “You mean it’s embargoed?”
Well, I had two choices: 1. bs my way through it. This probably could have easily been done, since her tone clearly indicated an affirmative response was appropriate. Or 2. say “huh?”, tip my head to the side, and let her hear the rocks fall out and hit the floor. Continue reading →

We’ve been absolutely crushed here as Paul alluded to earlier. Hence no posts from me in a couple weeks. But don’t cry for me, Argentina. Especially not now as we brought in some more help. Continue reading →

I’ll get quickly to the point seeming we’re a tad busy at the moment and I unfortunately don’t have the time to tickle you with reams of exquisite prose. Not that you’d know the difference, mind.
Anyway, we’ve got a job going spare if anybody’s remotely interested.

Happy Holidays »
Posted on December 21st, 2007 by Justin Seibert in DOM News, Slightly Off-Topic | 1 Comment
 Hi everyone - just a quick note wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season. We’ll be closed Monday and Tuesday (Dec. 24-25) to let our team enjoy a long weekend winter break. And if you want to extend any wishes to Paul before New Year’s, you’d better do it now as he’s hopping back across the pond tomorrow.
So whether you believe in Santa Claus, Hanukkah Harry (sorry we’re late - I know Hanukkah began the night of the 4th and ended 8 days later), Captain Festivus, or any other December religious figure, please accept our wishes for a safe and wonderful end of the year.

Justin’s Speaking in Erie, PA »
Posted on December 6th, 2007 by Paul Woodhouse in DOM News, SEM | Leave A Comment
How on the ball am I telling you that just is speaking at the SEM II: Join the Evolution conference up in Erie, PA seeming it finished about half an hour ago?
And what a brave little soldier he was getting all wrapped up and braving the elements to get himself there yesterday. The man is a consumate professional.
Anyway, he’s been doing a spot of live-blogging over on the Marketing Conference Blog and it’s a cracking little round-up of the first topic of the morning. Although I’m a bit suspicious considering there are no typos.
Still, he can touch-type. What do you expect?

Justin, You Got Some ‘Splainin’ to Do »
Posted on December 4th, 2007 by Justin Seibert in Business Blogging, DOM News, Web Credibility | 1 Comment
Welcome faithful readers. And I mean really faithful, if you’ve been waiting specifically for a post from me as it’s been awhile. I won’t make any promises, but I fully intend to do some more posts just to offer a different perspective on how the business community should view internet marketing.
Paul said my blog was the main reason he was interested in Direct Online Marketing™ in the first place. Maybe he was just sucking up for a nice holiday bonus, but I’ll take him at his word since he’s always been honest with me and his readers as far as I can tell.

It’s Good to Talk »
Posted on December 3rd, 2007 by Paul Woodhouse in Business Blogging, DOM News | 6 Comments
I’ve been imagining you all this past couple of weeks frantically opening your bookmarks or feed reader in squeaky anticipation of either a new blog or at least a new post. You could be forgiven in your bleary and teary-eyed state after a weekend of gargantuan proportions of wondering what the devil we’ve actually done. Did you really wait all this time and listen to a host of lame excuses to be affronted by a blog that’s nearly identical?

Moving »
Posted on November 8th, 2007 by Paul Woodhouse in DOM News | Leave A Comment
What use are blogs if you can’t let people know what’s going on in the world. Or, in our case, our little office in Wheeling.
We’re (I say we in its royal sense) currently in the midst of moving this blog to a new home.
With any luck it should be fit for some form of human consumption fairly shortly.
Aren’t you simply dithering with anticipation?
At least you can start bombarding us with all those pent-up questions you’ve been desperate to know but were always too afraid to ask.
That means we’ve finally got comments.
Anyway, better crack on!

I feel kinda bad for not having blogged on here for the past week or so. I could make excuses about conferences and such, but I’m on record more than once that it only takes fifteen minutes to throw up a blog post. But, whether that detracts from the quality of the blog post is a debate for another time. Continue reading →
