“Is blogging coming to an end?” A question that has been around since the boom of social media, but the answer all depends on who you ask. There’s always the good old talk about how blogging is fading away, but let’s face it: blogging is not dying, it’s changing. The Internet is not a fad, [...]

By now you must be sick of all the blogs and articles that emphasise the importance of mobile SEO or adapting web design and marketing to suit mobile platforms. Bear with me, as here comes another one. It’s the holiday season, just about, which means that people are in a gift buying frenzy and a [...]

What internet browser do you use? When I was noob I used Internet Explorer (IE). Don’t all noobs? I mean, it is the default browser on pretty much all PCs. My first digital marketing agency put me onto Firefox and it’s been my default browser ever since. Well, at least until a month or so [...]

Since blogging first became a lauded tool for companies large and small to communicate and engage with their consumers, people have been interested in whether the really big companies – the Fortune 500 companies – have joined the fray. Facebook and Twitter came along and interest escalated. After all, if social media is the great [...]

Will social gaming dictate future advertising spend?

Gamers are considered to be reclusive geeks. They wrap themselves in comforting cocoons of virtual reality in which they become gods. Stereotypically, they don’t get out much. Social gamers – those that play games, like Farmville, on social media sites – are a new breed. They’re average people who like a bit of escapism when [...]

Human social behaviour is evolving and governments need to deal with it

Mark Zuckerberg has famously (or infamously, depending on your view) said that the age of privacy is over. Privacy no longer exists. From a man who makes it his business to encourage people to share as much information about themselves as possible, his stance is not surprising. He’s made token concessions to people who still [...]

Because online marketing people write so regularly about the importance of properly planned and implemented SEO and SEM strategies, we tend to assume that the rest of the world shares our views. We may not assume that our business clients know what we know – we joke about them living in blissful ignorance – but [...]

Are Google+ brand pages like a fine wine, will they improve with time?

Google+ is like a firecracker: the fuse was lit and anticipation grew; some sparks appeared and online marketers craned their necks to see what would happen; it wavered in the sky and threatened to go out; it burst into an impressive array and the world flocked to the now public social network; the array fizzled [...]

A few years ago (three or four years ago, I think), researchers conducted a study to find out how willing Facebook users are to friend complete strangers. They set up two accounts for fictional “people” and used cute animals as profile pictures. It didn’t take long before both accounts had hundreds of friends. Even more [...]

SEO is always the trump card

As someone who started her career in digital marketing with a crash course in SEO, I’m a loyal believer in its intrinsic benefits. I know PPC is great and social media marketing is the current trendy channel of choice, but I keep coming back to SEO and the necessity of having a properly optimised website [...]
