How do I write about my products? I have built a lot of different sites for a lot of different people and this question always comes up. I’m not quite sure why. Some of these people had had brick and mortar stores for years But somehow when it comes to writing about their products, they draw a blank.

And I can understand that. Most people don’t like to write. And if that’s the issue, I can understand that. But don’t tell me you don’t have anything to say about your product.

At Blog World Expo

Well, not really there. I am in a hotel room, a purple and pick one with the jet engine type air conditioner. But it works. Damn sure lot of constuction going on around here.

It had been a hectic week leading up to this weekend:

My parents had some issue I had to help them with.
A brown recluse spider climbed across my son’s bed Wednesday, forcing me to bomb the house the next day.
The day before that, a tire blew out on the car.
I had to leave with my wife home with a sick kid while she is still getting over being sick.

Optimizing for Hits You Already Get Part 2

Yesterday I said it is much more worthwhile to optimize your web site for the key phrases that show up in your statistics software. Today we will go over some ways to make this happen. All cms or ecommerce software is a little bit different, so knowing how your software works helps a lot in this step. And although I am putting this in the ecommerce series, it will actually benefit anyone with a site who wants more hits.

When the Industry’s Behind, Start Running

I kind of fell into the job at AllAboutDoors.com. It happens to be one of those niches that if you do any kind of SEO or SEM, you are kicking everyone’s ass. We aren’t selling ipods, ringtones, or hosting. People in the industry or in closely related industries are just starting to sell online or at least it seems like that from the ease of blasting right past them in the search engines. Their site design and usability is still stuck in the 90′s.

Wink, Free Screencast Software that Works on Vista

After messing with Camstudio for hours, trying to get it to work on Vista, I decided to see if anyone else got it to work with Vista. The answer, no. Then I found Wink which creates a SWF file. Still looking for something that can create a larger variety of formats or something that can convert SWF to other formats. Super C might work for converting but keeps telling me that the file is not using the correct codec.

The search is still on.
