Significantly Reduce the Risk of Your Next PPC Campaign
While pay per click (PPC) advertising can be one of the most effective ways to generate traffic for your website, it can be quite costly. The click costs may appear cheap but they can quickly add up in no time. The problem is that there’s a lot of information on profiting from PPC and not much information on how to reduce your risk when setting up a PPC campaign.

Basic Netiquette for Bloggers: Don't Be a Wildling

The first set of guidelines and best practices to use, e-mail mostly, were developed by researchers at PARC (Palo Alto Research Center), back in 1970s California. The set was known as the Electronic mail Briefing Blurb or E-mail Briefing Blurb, or the Blurb.

Vintage Winter Ads Teach You How to Warm Up Your Web Space
Minus degrees outside. Have you thought about the warming place for your website visitors? Besides the horrible pixelated Wordpress snow. In winter time everything needs to go softer. And so do the commercials. So does the content. Your website, your copy, your blog post. Again, an inspiration to your winter copywriting can be pulled from the ever sweet collection of vintage ads. They can help in choosing a tale for your brand during the season, in picking the imagery, the tone, and the taste. Suitable for winter time.

Why Knowing the Language and Culture of Your Reader is Integral to Copywriting
The question number One (in the QI show)involved the Gerber products company, and the advertising mistake they made in Africa. Apparently, in Africa, the packaging usually represents what's inside a jar/box/can, and putting pictures of babies in that place, made the consumers think that the food actually contained - babies. True or false, it makes you think about all the ways in which the visual representation of your brand could go wrong. How easily your logic could turn into the logic of Alice. It can't be poison if it says "drink me" on it. Correct?

Back When Smoking was Okay: Content Lessons from Old Cigarette Ads
In the 1920s, the tobacco industry knew all about the persuasive arts, hired advertising psychologists, endorsed celebrities, played every feel-better trick, expanded constantly to new markets, new media. And their doings were for the most part not regulated. The advertising was about happiness, as Draper said. "It's about knowing that whatever you're doing is okay." (Mad Men) There is so much to learn from the (evil?) genius that aspired from this age of advertising, off the grid, and low on the radar.

Use Social Media To Support Customers: Easier Said Than Tweeted!
"More than half of the world's 2.4 billion Internet users sign in to a social network regularly — a figure that is rapidly increasing," a word from Mashable. Think. Between tweeting and blogging, you may as well be in the business of a world domination. Not so much of a joke if you consider that the building of a Death Star station was debated with the White House, recently. Through blogs. Then, social media. Then, We the People platform. Receiving, in turn, an official White House response: "The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon."

And, You Are Already Out of It: How Much Time to Invest in Social Media?
One tweet is limited to 140 characters, link included, right? To tweet 10 times per day is quite solid, true. Undoubtedly, it will take you 10 minutes to schedule your Twitter timeline? Actually, yes, doubt it. And then, there's Facebook and Google Plus and LinkedIn, maybe Pinterest, YouTube? Tumblr, Quora, too? And, you're back in a jiffy! The financial investments in social media seem to be on the rise, as more CEOs become aware of the value unlocked by it, but what about time? They would like to spend less of it on tweeting, certainly.
