Lead Generation Tips And Ideas For Small Business Owners
I have a word that defines what today’s blog post is all about. Antimimeticisomorphism.

Google disapproved 134 million ads and disabled more than 800,000 AdWords Accounts in 2011. A shocking statistic, a 136% rise from the year before. Like fighting spam and click fraud, finding and nixing bad ads on AdWords is a continually escalating battle. Back in 2008, the company only disapproved 25 million ads. What does this […]
I am an avid dog lover which is why I get along so well with two of my clients: Bree Robbins of Paddington Pups and Cory Andrews of The Dogs Country Club Kennel and Resort in Victoria. I’m sure they’ll refer to this blog post from their blogs since it’s one of the many Internet […]
Many small business people treat one of their most precious assets as an afterthought, rather than as one of their most precious assets. It’s not inconceivable for a website to be worth $100,000+ when there is a legitimate brick and mortar business “behind it”. Put differently, years ago, when you bought a Yellow Pages ad, […]

During my recent Business Blogging For Sales Lead Generation event tour in Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Melbourne and Sydney, participants heard a preview of my rant on Privacy Pirates which I’ve been proselytising about for quite some time.

Even though small businesses in Australia lag in Internet adoption with most small businesses either not having a website established or not having a fully integrated, functional website, in contrast, Australian consumers are quite techno-savvy. According to recent research, 37% of Australians use smart phones and is predicted to be 50% by the end of […]
I’ve already blogged about Linked In Polls,but since it’s quick, easy and free – it’s worth reminding you to consider polling your clients and asking them questions that your other clients might be interested in.
