On June 5th, I will be presenting a webinar called “Beyond the Basics: 5 Myths and 10 Rules for Advanced Social Media Mastery“. It might as well be called, “Stop the madness because the social media world is going down a dark path.”

April 29, 2013 by 1 Comment
This is a rant so I’m going to keep it short and not so sweet. There’s a trend in the automotive industry towards putting out really, really bad webinars.

Pink Equal Sign on Facebook
March 27, 2013 by 4 Comments
If you’re on Facebook, Twitter or really any social network, you probably saw a lot of the red and pink equal sign pictured above. If you’re wondering what it is, it’s a sign promoted by the Human Rights Campaign, advocating for equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) people. The Supreme Court is meeting this week in Washington to discuss the issue of gay marriage, Proposition 8, and the Defense of Marriage Act, and the people on both sides of the issue are coming out strong to support their beliefs. It’s strange to see social media suddenly become such a fertile ground for political discourse, but there are many lessons to learn for the smart SEO and SEM company.
Google, God of Thunder

Thor is a god, specifically, he’s the thunder god, super specifically, he’s the Norse god of thunder, storms, and beating the pulp out of things with his magic hammer, Mjolnir (just imagine I did the umlaut on the o).

You can get any of them you’d like for free by following the links below. If you want the whole library, you can shoot Sean Haney an email and he’ll send you the big file directly.

Content Spinning in 2013
February 28, 2013 by 2 Comments
In the course of the daily research we do here at Wikimotive, we encounter a lot of the same questions over and over again. The pattern is pretty clear, everyone agrees on a subject and then Google performs another update and suddenly we have to reheat the same old gristle and see if it tastes any better this time around. The latest piece of inedible meat we’ve been encountering is the idea of content spinning. Since the late January Panda update, people seem to think that spinning the content on their blogs for marketing on Facebook or Twitter is a good idea.
