Marketing Series Coming to a (WV) City Near You
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 [...]
Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing
My esteemed colleague, Mr. Paul Woodhouse, mentioned in his most recent blog that he’s not one to fall in love easily. While that type of cynical temperament is to be expected from a Brit (and a fine Brit he be, as best they come), the same cannot be said of [...]
Eric Ward: Good Guy; Justin Seibert: Giant Jag-Off
Mmmm – my size 10 Johnston & Murphy tastes pretty good. Maybe that’s why I try to cram it in there so often. I went almost 2 years without causing a stir and now I can’t go 2 posts without doing something stupid. If I didn’t mind coming off like [...]
Search Engine Marketing Certification: Paid Search & SEO
As the half-dozens of regular readers of the Direct Online Marketing™ Blog know, Derrick “McKinley’s Bodyguard” McKee recently came on board to our search team. Before deciding on him I was able to speak with several talented folk. One was a young woman in school down in Georgia who had [...]
(Im)Press The Flesh 101
You Americans and your ding-dang-doodling handshakes. I’m well aware you go to finishing school to hone the finer arts of first impression making, and ‘Handshaking 101′ is the first thing on the syllabus. Extend. Lock. Grasp. Eye Contact. Don’t Wince. Paul WoodhousePaul looks after the SEO side of things here [...]
Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches
It’s official! I am comedy gold – well maybe bronze; and I’ll probably have to give that back once I fail my urine test. For the past couple of nights I’ve been as funny as Jon Stewart without his writers. Do you recall his skit a couple of nights ago [...]
Of Websites and Weebles and Teeny Tiny Feet
Why a conversation around the perils of twidgy feet propping up a normal body developed this morning I have no idea. But it affects Katie’s balance apparently – not as much as her friend who happens to be a little on the large side and quite spherical by all accounts. [...]

Wiis Here, Getcha Ice Cold Wii Here
I call my lawyer today (about B&O taxes, not for that impending insider trading lawsuit). During our small talk that I hope I won’t be billed for, he says something about Christmas would have been better if he could have found a Wii somewhere. I had heard they were sold [...]
Justin, You Got Some 'Splainin' to Do
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 [...]
It must've been a dodgy pie.
My name’s Paul Woodhouse and I used to be a boy scout – there, I’ve said it. During this formative part of my teenage years wearing garters and neckerchiefs that could double as an emergency sling, I can honestly say I have no idea what I truly learned. I do [...]
"Speakers……Faarsands of 'em"
There’s nothing I like more than kicking back and watching a movie. A cracking little film is always preferable to an absolute duck-egg, but I’ll give anything a chance. The only way of assuaging a sense of celluloid shame and guilt after watching something lousy is by doing a hardcore [...]
How Come I Never Saw Elvis Leaving the Building?
This weekend I literally went to the dogs as opposed to metaphorically which probably happened over a decade ago if truth be told. My father-in-law and his girlfriend (why does that always sound peculiar when applied to anyone over the age of 40? Still, I refuse to use the term [...]
