A Real Time Vertical Corral

of archeological nomenclature

twittersearchRecently many have been referring to twitter as a search engine. While twitter can indeed be searched, I’m really not so sure that it’s a search engine. In any case, it certainly is not a search engine of the traditional sort ;o). Today’s subject is twitter search engines, yes, engines that search twitter, of which, twitter is one, ever since it acquired Summize (Anyone else feel that thump in your head? With talk like that it’s no wonder old folks can get so cranky and wave us off when we whippersnappers start talking about computers). Well it seems as though that was a perfect fit. The fact of the matter is, not too far from the dubbed founding premise of twitter as a micro blogging platform, if you are looking for micro rants or reviews about absolutely anything and everything, yes even in real time, twitter is the place to search.

Linkbuilding 2.0

Finding Blogs for Links

Squeeze Page 2.0

Posted by: Jim Corbett | Comments (0)

When The Internet Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade

Fly Hover & Pop

About the time when the good’ol days gave way to anti-spam legislation, a new way was needed to entice visitors to allow the capture of those lucrative e-leads. Many hard core information marketers turned to what became know as the ’squeeze page’. This technique is still in practice today. Essentially a squeeze page is a forced opt-in that requires an information hunter to trade their contact information in exchange for viewing the information they desire.
