If you’ve tried subscribing to RSS feeds in a web browser and wondered why people think they’re such a big deal, keep reading, because they are a big deal, and I’m going to show you exactly, step-by-step how to find that out for yourself.

How can I put this kindly: the feed readers built into today’s [...]

You know that list of “update services” you configured your blog software to ping whenever you create a new post? If you copied it from the WordPress website (or any of a number of other sites on the web that have the same list) recently, you’ve got the wrong list.

When I say you’ve got the [...]

I read a post by Jonathan Leger today about the SEO benefits of an affiliate program, in which he recommends that merchants do a permanent redirect from the page their affiliates link to to their sales page (for example, from http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/?assoc=1 to http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/ — ie., just remove the affiliate ID).

I’ve been thinking recently that I need to start establishing contacts in the internet marketing community. I’ve made a short list of people I’ve had limited contact with a few big names before, but nothing very substantial or ongoing.

I just finished up a new product — free and commercial versions are available. It’s called List Mailer GT, and it will send your messages to eight “viral list building” services at once, with “personalization” done correctly for each one without your having to create different versions of your message.
