I am a big fan of the DoFollow movement and therefore have made all comments on this blog DoFollow. So as long as you are making relevant related comments you can get a nice juicy (ok well maybe not that juicy but a link none the less) link. Hope that everyone continues to enjoy the blog and hopefully someone will find it useful.
As 2008 approaches, I decided I better start taking some of my own advice and do some real online reputation management because if you google martin bowling I am no where to be found on the first page :(
So I have decided I am going to actively change that. We have been doing some small scale SEO,SEM,SMM & other Internet Marketing for clients around our area; but we are starting to branch out into some niche's that are providing us clients that are national and international. So if I am going to help those people manage their brand and online reputation, I better do it myself.
So this blog is going to start out as a step by step of how I am planning on have zero results to dominating the Vanity SERPs for Martin Bowling.
This is an exercise that I am sure many have gone through and this is something that is long over due; so that's why I am getting it out of the way first thing in 2008.
Part of my plan for better managing my online reputation and personal brand is to become a more active part of the Internet Marketing Community. I have long been a lurker on many of my favorite sites; but now I intend on becoming an active member that fully participates.
Hopefully my little experiment will provide some with a good intro to brand management and to others hopefully it will offer some comic relief :).
I want to wish everyone a happy new year and let you know that you will see a far more active martin bowling in the new year.
