		<title>Think like a Texas Solarman and You&#8217;ll Reap the Benefits of Online Marketing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Networking time at conferences allows one to meet folks you’d likely never encounter in your usual environment. I spoke with a sixth generation Texan the other night who is the CEO of a new solar power business. In Houston, Texas – the heart of the oil and gas industry. This man has tremendous confidence in his new company’s technology, and recognizes that just as solar power is “new school” marketing has moved toward new methods for generating attention for a new business. Thus, he is attending SMX West to learn all he can about search engine optimization (SEO) and online marketing. ]]></description>

		<title>Bing is making everyone work harder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I attended Steve Ballmer’s keynote address at SMX West Tuesday, March 2nd. Has anyone else ever thought (or said out loud) that he reminds them a bit of Dick Vitale, the basketball commentator? Very animated, sometimes loud when emphasizing a point. Definitely entertaining. ]]></description>

		<title>Free Resources to Keep Your Small Business Organized and Advertised</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many people don’t realize it, but staying organized can be one of the keys to your small business success. For instance, let’s look at your personal file storage.  Do you keep team files on your hard drive?  If so, I’m sure it takes up a lot of space, slows your computer down, and can only be accessed by one person – quite an inconvenience.  One way to address this problem is by backing up your files on the internet through websites that provide online storage.  There’s a variety of websites that provide free accounts and come with a minimum of 2GB of storage space.  They are basically a virtual hard drive that you can store and share files. And, it’s usually fairly straight forward way to sync your files with the added benefit of being able to access them wherever you have Internet access. Plus, you can also use some as a “drop box” for distributing large files that would otherwise clog a recipient’s email inbox.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WebVisible CEO Kirsten Mangers recently spoke on a panel at the “Using Social Media to Grow Your Business” seminar conducted by the Association for Women in Technology (www.awtsocal.org). 
It was a great discussion for any business entering the social media space for the first time.  The panel highlighted  the type of investment businesses should expect to make in social media and detailed how to make the discipline an integral part of a company’s business plans.

<strong>Is Social Media Saturated?</strong>

Moderator and CEO at Talent Evolution, Jared Smith, kicked off the discussion with a thought provoking question: ]]></description>

		<title>Pirates Can Hijack Your Local Business Listing on Google</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In February 2009, it was widely reported that the Local Business Listing service provided by Google had been compromised. Apparently, individuals were hijacking local listings by masquerading as a local business, yet driving web traffic to another site altogether. How could Google let this happen!? Who has the sophistication to get to the heart of Google’s infrastructure at such a business-critical level? And how could the tech giant be infiltrated by some hacker stealing your prospects and the hard work that was driving them to your Web site?]]></description>

		<title>What happens in this Economy stays in this Economy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Owning a small business in this economy can be brutal.  I keep driving around my community only to notice another business has closed without warning  . . . paint store – empty, local market – closed, favorite dry cleaners – gone.   With all this retail space, you could hear your voice echo.  How are small businesses surviving? What kind of chance do they have when there are larger corporations in the same industry? What can these local owners do to make customers remember them?   These are some of the concerns I continually hear from business owners.  Can marketing make enough of a difference to help these businesses stay afloat in this economy – even thrive perhaps? ]]></description>

		<title>Managing Your Online Advertising Account – An Inside Look at a WebVisible Account Manager</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we start this new year and embark on a new decade, it’s great to reflect a little at just how far we have come.  Just think back for a brief moment…what comes to mind? It’s not like we are picturing mail being delivered on a horse and telegrams being the fastest form of communication… now it’s more like… remember when I picked up an actual phone book? Or read a newspaper that was in my hands vs. the screen of my phone?  Technology is advancing at a mind blowing pace and the speed of improvements that are being made seem to be growing at an exponential rate!  ]]></description>
