		<description><![CDATA[ by Sage Lewis Microsoft's Steve Ballmer has some pretty extreme views for the business world. I think he might be looking in the mirror too closely when he talks about the business world as a whole. Check out our small business news site.

		<description><![CDATA[ by Mack Collier At one point or another, every blogger struggles to find new content ideas for their blog.&#160; For some of us, ideas for posts come easily, but if you're a blogger that's constantly wracking your brain for the next post idea, launching a blog post series could be your solution! What do I mean by a blog series?&#160; I mean that once a week, month, or even day, you post around a certain topic, or collect other posts around a certain topic.&#160; Or it could simply be highlighting some of your favorite posts.&#160; A great example is a series launched by Steve Woodruff called ' Five in the Morning' . Originally, the series started out with Steve highlighting 5 valuable blog posts he found, in a new post of his own.&#160; Steve would then go to Twitter , and leave a tweet promoting the series, but also letting the five bloggers that he had spotlighted, know that he had included them!&#160; This is a great idea for three reasons; 1 - It gives Steve more posts for his blog, and exposes his readers to new blogs, 2 - By promoting the series on Twitter, he drives more traffic to his post, and 3 - By notifying the bloggers on Twitter that he profiled them, he gives the bloggers incentive to promote his post as well! But blogging companies can do this as well.&#160; Graco features Wondrous Wednesdays posts where the company puts the spotlight on their employee's families, and their customers.&#160; This is the best idea for a company blog post series I have ever seen.&#160; It works so well because it puts the spotlight on the company's employees, as well as customers.&#160; I've blogged about this before , but people want to know more about your company's employees, and their fellow customers! Another possibility could be to post industry-specific news stories once a week, say every Tuesday.&#160; You are likely already reading about the current events in your industry, so why not collect the best stories you find into one post that you share with your readers?&#160; This is an excellent way to not only get a weekly post for your blog, but more importantly, you are creating valuable content for your readers! So start thinking about ways that you can create a regular blog post series.&#160; If you only add one post a week this way, that would likely be enough to help you see a nice boost in your blog's readership!&#160; Check out our small business news site.

		<description><![CDATA[ by Sage Lewis There's some bad news but good tools in the news this week. Yahoo "can't win for losing" as Google terminates its advertising partnership with them and Yahoo shares drop significantly. While Google and Yahoo part ways, Yellowbook and YouTube join forces to distribute SMB videos. Wordtracker announces a new tool that anticipates the questions people are clicking on while searching based off keywords. Also, according to Search Engine Watch, the number of small businesses using social media is expected to double from 300K to 600K in the next twelve months.

		<description><![CDATA[ by Manoj Jasra One of the presenters at this year's SES Chicago is Search Marketing Veteran, Bruce Clay. Bruce will be leading a session on the topic of SEO tools: "tools that will help you to accomplish your tasks including indexing, competitive analysis, site ranking, diagnosing and remedying problems, page level information, site level information, on-page optimization and much more." I had a chance to ask Bruce a few questions about his session and how he leverages SEO Tools for his own strategies. [Manoj]: With so many different tools available, how should search marketers go about evaluating the quality of a tool's results. &#160; [Bruce Clay]: Tools present data, not wisdom, so every search marketer has a responsibility to select tools that answer questions. Even with analytics tools, they are at best sample-based. It is not an exact counter (JavaScript issues) so we are sealing with degrees of significance anyhow. Where there is variation is when the meanings change from vendor to vendor, so what one sees as a unique visitor may be unlike the others

		<description><![CDATA[ by Mike Moran Image via Wikipedia Someone recently asked me how he knows whether to use shopping cart software or a full-blown content management system for a Web site. Does it depend on how large your site is? Does it depend on what kind of content you have? And, most importantly, which one is better for search marketing? These are good questions, so they deserve good answers. You need to start with a definition of a content management system

		<description><![CDATA[ by Beth Harte Have you decided to take your blog to the next level by including video? Hooray! Video logs (vlogs) can help communicate in a lot of different ways and they also add a "real" voice to your blog posts (and yes, I mean that literally and figuratively). Vlogs are great and easy to do . And the wonderful thing about engaging in social media as a company is that it allows you to bring the human element into your communications.
