SEO News

In this digital age, it is all to easy to jump to the conclusion that online marketing is dominating over offline marketing methods… but is it fair? Just like “video killed the radio star” (as the song goes), can online media really kill the once all mighty print media star?

One dinosaur of print media which seems to be, all too often, in the firing line is the Yellow Pages.  Sure, on an environmental level, the Yellow Pages [physical book], may be seen as a colossal waste of paper but what about its effectiveness?

It seems that those who are most aggressively against the Yellow Pages are typically the ones who have the most to gain from its demise – namely online marketers, SEO and SEM companies.

Watch the video below to see a quick summary of what we found…

Q1. How often do you use the print version of the Yellow Pages? Read More>>

Welcome back to the SBIM Weekly, the regular summary of news and helpful links for small/medium sized business owners. We scour the internet to keep you on top of what’s important to you and your business.

Now before we get to this week’s headlines (for those of you playing along at home with our recent Market Samurai blog post) I wanted to give you the update. The comments have been off the scale – people are loving it! We’ve had 145+ comments and that’s just on my post alone.

Anyway as part of this exclusive promotion we’ve put together something special that will never be repeated.

In short, we took our best selling and most loved course “The Outsource Profit Machine” and turned it into a digital product – that means we can sell it at a fraction of the recommended retail price.  Read More>>
