Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words. I am so glad to hear you took something away from my presentation. Please let me know if you have any questions about blog advertising... I'd be happy to help where I can. :)

I was glad that I chose to attend this seminar session at PodCamp Toronto. Along with Andrea's professional presentation skills, I appreciated her commitment to integrity and her values (which included integrity). I was also impressed with the organic growth of her blog and business - that it grew from her interest into a business. I came away inspired.

Re: How do I get to the top of Google?

Great post. My own experience recently regarding Google Places confirms what you have written. I always recommend that my clients claim their place. And you other three points are equally important - especially social media.

And the power keeps growing – Shannon’s story made print media – page 3 of the first section of the Globe and Mail. There is a big cautionary tale here – make sure that your policies are customer centric and that all your employees are well versed in them all.

Re: Q&A … What is Quora?

Dawn — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 21:05:20 -0000

Quora sure is getting some action/reaction these days. Quora seems like a great way to aggregate important information that will continue to be accessible to people (unlike info that gets buried in forums). Perhaps one negative is that you have to be a member to glean any information.

Thanks for informing me about this, Ruth. I love everything about The Barter Babes Project.So many positive and lasting outcomes: relationships; empowerment; business development; marketing and potential end product (book). Can you feel my energy pumping as I figure out what I am going to propose as a barter?

Re: WordPress Toronto Meetup Group – #wpto

Edward Caissie — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 11:05:31 -0000

Great hashtag-logo! The main reason I joined the WPToronto Meetup group was and is for the opportunity to interact with other WordPress interested people. The chance to talk about the inner and outer working of WordPress and other related topics is the best thing about the group and also why I have volunteered my time to help with organizing the meetings.

Thanks Joan. I was just realizing that with so many of these services it would be hard for people to follow them all. This is a great link for consumers.

Collective buying is becoming famous on the internet nowadays. Trusted sites such as GroupOn,LivingSocial, and TeamBuy are being listed in a startup website which lists various deal sites in one space GroupbuyUnited.com.

dandelionweb — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 22:23:42 -0000

Thanks JB - I'll checkout Living Social as well. There are a number of these sites popping up. It is nice to hear from a users experience as well.

JB — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 22:17:01 -0000

I've used both Team Buy http://www.teambuy.ca/ and Living Social http://livingsocial.com/
Both sites offer excellent value and have unique offers to choose from. I found the sites easy to use. I haven't redeemed my deals yet but friends have and reported that they had a good experience!

I don't have any experience with Groupon yet (but I am looking forward to it). The marketing concept seems like a win-win for consumers and retailers. At first I thought that only large retailers would benefit but Toronto Kayak's experience plus the experience of the Indie coffee shops has proven otherwise.

Google Instant is definitely going to affect search and so how we will have to consider search terms when developing content.

People need information, and they need it really quickly, so it won't help if your website is hard to navigate. What you'll get instead of business is an annoyed customer that will move to another website to get information.

Nice post. I agree, people nowadays have a short attention span, which means that your website should be able to attract them in the first few seconds of viewing it.
