VisibilityGenie Becoming bgtheory.com

Posted: July 7, 2006

I receive three requests very regularly:

To blog much more often
To move the blog to an ‘eWhisper’ branded domain
To write more about my conference/public speaking past just posting the PowerPoint’s

Unfortunately, eWhisper.com is a parked domain page. I’ve written to the owner several times and have never received a response (and amazingly enough, that page ranks on Yahoo — Yahoo - PLEASE stop ranking parked pages). However, I do own bgtheory.com.

I can’t promise to write more - I’ll try - but of course, no promises. For those who missed it, I was on GoodROI’s Podcast GoodKarma yesterday. The archive should be up in the next few days here.

I’m 301ing the entire site later this week to the new domain. Based upon how your feed reader treats 301s, you might stay subscribed.

Of course, I’d prefer everyone to just change all their links to this blog and resubscribe here. I’m using Feedburner for the feed, and there seems to be an issue when you first visit the page in certain browsers. A simple f5 (refresh) of the page has always cleared it up for me - but still working to find out what the real issue is as it can’t just be me having this problem.

So, feel free to comment on the new blog, contact me directly, or just change your subscriptions.

I still need a logo and a new favicon. Ideas?

Enjoy.

Hi Brad,

I listen to the Good Karma Podcast. I know a thing or two about SEM/PPC myself and was impressed about your knowledge and ability to explain things in an easy and understandable way. Even I learned a few new things. Good Job.

This got me also to check your Blog. Not bad for a blog in “Beta”. It must be the oldest Blog in “beta” status on the net :).

I added your feed to my aggregated SEO/SEM feed which is available at my resource pages at my website.

I also added a link to your blog and another one to your free eBook. I just downloaded it and will check it out. You can find the Links here: http://www.cumbrowski.com/CarstenC/searchenginemarketing.asp

Well, this gives you a few more reasons to blog more often. I know how it is when it comes to the “issue of Time” to do it and do it right (or the absence of it). What is true for keywords in a PPC campaign is also true for a Blog. Quantity does not matter, Quality and relevance are Key.

Cheers,
Carsten

Hey brad -

I like this new look.

Are you going to keep it or finally have someone do a full professional design?

Just give me a call…

Carsten,

The blog’s in beta as it’s actually brand new.

The articles are obviously older, however, they’re all from other blogs and published under different domains.

So, I’m combining four different blogs (2 are complete) to populate this one - ditch the others - and try to just maintain one blog.

So, old - yes. New - yes. Beta - Semi.

The podcast was great.

When you get to the hotel, we’re downstairs watching the world cup.

Can’t wait to catch up.

How many sessions are you speaking at in Miami?

Hey eWhisper,

Are you going to do another show on webmaster radio?

That was a really good show.

Would love to see a more advanced show where you really go through the organization or keyword research process.

Thought I\’d follow the trend of everyone commenting on the blog…
Although, I\’m sitting at home.

About time you started doing some radio.

Are you going to talk about geotargeting w/ Y at SES?

I need some pointers.
