Who Knows about your "Presents"?
I have two young children, the oldest 2 1/2. She’s a little afraid of the big guy in the red suit, but she likes the Christmas tree and holiday specials, especially the Grinch (the classic one). So we weren’t really sure if she’d ‘get’ Christmas this year or not. So [...]
The Mitchell Report – What the Implicated Should Do from a(n Internet) Marketing Perspective
For as busy as I am, I waste WAY too much time on sports. I mean, what do they add? The good times are greatly outweighed by the bad. And if I do try to draw parallels from the sports world into internet marketing, often times the results are usually [...]
Google Eyeballs Paid Goons
While we’re still making sure that everything is screwed down nice and tight before everything gets switched, it might be an idea to actually post something. If truth be told we’ve been raring to go since last week but there appears to be a problem or three regarding some of [...]
My Name is NOT Michael Caine
I’ve always attracted the inveterate crazies – like flies round the proverbial cow pat. I don’t what it is; whether they see a kindred spirit when they see me, or they do it to everybody they come across, but I’ve always had more than my fair share of lunatics cracking [...]
It Just Isn't Cricket
I love my cricket. I loved playing it and I love watching it. I also love the look on any American’s face when you explain that Test Matches can go on for five days and still result in a draw (that’s tie in American parlance). Incredulous wouldn’t begin to describe [...]

Serendipitous Searching?
I’ve simply got to come right out and say it – I’m no fan of country music. In fact, I hate it. I don’t hate people who listen to it, I just don’t personally care to listen to it. (Does that afford me enough wriggle room?) Nor am I saying [...]

The Essential Web Site Check List – Part 3
First of all, I want to apologize for using Pittsburgh Pirate Ronny Paulino in my post about content management systems (step #2). He’s probably my favorite Bucco and it’s clear that I jinxed him. So no q&a today. The Pirates, set for a resurgence, don’t need me adding bad luck [...]
Good Friday? No, the Best
I just received a notice from Yahoo! that I thought was worth sharing. They are changing their policy so that “short ads” (70 characters maximum) will be required on all ad sets. You can still write long descriptions for ads, but they must be accompanied by short ad counterparts. Beginning [...]
Reach ONLY the People You Can Sell To
I speak with business owners every day that have little or no experience with internet marketing. While many of them sell all over the United States or even the world, many of them service businesses or persons within a regional or local area. Without fail, the one fact about search [...]
