So, it’s no secret that I’m a fan of the rock music. I have to mix things up from time to time, so instead of AC/DC, I actually went to a Coldplay concert this weekend in Hershey, PA. We killed some time on the Chocolate World tour and had some dinner before heading into Hershey [...]

I often have people ask me what they should focus their energies on - PPC or SEO. Is one better than the other? Where will they get the best return?
We did our own PPC/SEO competition on Friday when Alicia and Robyn decided to have a friendly arm wrestling competition:
The funny part is - the match [...]

Ok… I saw this and I had to share. It combines a couple of my favorite things:
Twitter & Jimmy Fallon.
(Scott, you thought one of them was going to be AC/DC, didn’t you? )
Last week, Jimmy Fallon let his Twitter followers know he was going to be working on an experiment during his taping. Around [...]

Yahoo Search Marketing posted on their blog yesterday that for some industries, minimum bid prices will soon be dropping.
So what exactly does this mean? Much like Google used to do (and sort of still does with first page bidding), Yahoo sets a specific minimum bid that you have to hit in order for your ads [...]

If you know much about the Solid Cactus Internet Marketing Team, you’ll know that we like to laugh. Robyn and I, in particular, have to be separated during meetings due to the giggling that ensues.
So… with all due respect to Miss Snyder, I’d like to take another look at MSN now that I’ve read her [...]
