A great post from Chris Brogan reminding us all not to miss a trick when it comes to promoting ourselves online!
“Earlier, I Googled the local gyms in my town.
I found the place I wanted, and just before I made the phone call, I realized that Google had something that said “write a review.”
I did, and immediately after submitting it, there was suddenly a little review, with a “chrisbrogan.com” prominently displayed beside it.
When I clicked the link, it went to my Google Profile.
Whoa, I thought. Matrix “whoa.”
Because, hey, that’s like, free advertising. Non?”
For a long time I used Google Analytics to provide webstats for me and for my clients – and it worked. Great stats, pretty graphs, nice figures – everything I needed.The problem I had was that I couldn’t get real time stats – I had to wait until the next day, by which time in some cases it was too late to react to surges in traffic.
