You know that you are starting to live and breathe internet marketing when you hear a song on the radio that has nothing to do with internet marketing and your brain immediately figures out how to apply it to internet marketing before the second verse.

Last week, the head of Google’s web spam team, Matt Cutts, announced that the Panda algorithm is updated approximately every month, but it’s done slowly throughout the month, like a Google Dance. What the heck does this mean to you? Today’s internet marketing tips post explains.

One of the goals of our weekly internet marketing tips is to keep you up to date about what you need to know in the world of internet marketing. There is always something happening. Which means something is always trying to get your attention. Most of us are aware of this because we can’t ignore the constant buzzing or vibrating from that little device in our pockets that gives us unlimited access to the latest information from our social media accounts, emails, text messages and maybe even an actual phone call. Our mobile devices are powerful.

If someone asked you to spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious could you? I couldn’t. I had to look it up for this blog. But that’s okay for hard words that you rarely use. What about the everyday kind of words that we should know how to use and spell from learning them in our elementary school classes? 

Where do you find your inspiration to write? All the great writers got their inspiration from somewhere and had their own set of ideal conditions where they wrote the best. Ernest Hemingway wrote 500 words every day, almost always in the morning, while standing up. William Faulkner preferred a glass of whiskey in hand while he was writing. Although I don’t consider myself to be among the greats, I prefer a glass of wine and pretzels the night before a big deadline.

Just over a year ago the world was introduced to Google Glass, an augmented reality pair of glasses that seemed to be something only possible in science fiction. I remember watching the following video and getting a funny feeling deep down inside. I probably brushed it off as bad Chinese food at the time, but now I know that it was the strange feeling of what was once only possibility becoming reality.

If you’ve just jumped into the world of internet marketing with both feet, you’re probably asking the question, why do I have to blog? You might be feeling like you are the least qualified person to take on the task and find yourself making excuses. I’d like to offer you a word (or about 600 since this is a blog) of encouragement. You’re not alone if you’re thinking any one (or all!) of these things.

In case you forgot amidst the barrage of marketing that comes our way in May, Sunday is Mother’s Day. It’s the perfect opportunity to show Mom just how much she means to you; to apologize for all those times you gave her grief; and to maybe even tell her that you actually paid attention to what she taught you. There are some infamous Mom-isms that we’ve all heard, and believe it or not, they translate into internet marketing tips for your social media strategy.

After video killed the radio star, has it been plotting its domination of the internet ever since? In the world of internet marketing the power of video is becoming a key player. Online video is effective, easy to do, and can elevate your business in front of potential customers.

In the land of internet marketing content is king. Content marketing has been around for a few years now, but 2013 is being called the year of the online writer because it’s finally being recognized that content isn’t just words on a webpage. It’s the creative and strategic process behind it that matters.
