Buzz, Trends, and Blogs

Buzz marketing and viral marketing are the same thing-word of mouth marketing for your product and a desire to visit your website. As a money making blogger I am a big fan of Adsense for search. Business buzz words for me are keywords that get eyes on my posts. I did this kind of search engine optimization even before I had ads on my blog. Even if your blog marketing plan is just to get more hits, keeping track of trends and buzz and using viral marketing techniques is a good idea. A big part of my buzz marketing has…

Slusho, Cloverleaf and Why do we care?

Slusho is an odd little page that reminds me of the scene in Firefly where the crazy girl goes crazy after seeing an odd ad on TV. The Slusho ad says you can’t drink just six and has one filled cup and eight empty cups on one side and three filled cups and five empty ones on the other. It has a vaguely anime feel to it and an upbeat little tune that likely has a certain number of notes that mean something.
