I was recently interviewed for the Business Leader Daily Report radio show. Host Wade Taylor and I spent an hour chatting about Search Engine Optimization and Pay-Per-Click advertising for businesses, ranging from the basics to new developments in search marketing and social media. The interview is broken up into four segments for easy listening. To listen, go to Business Leader Daily Report and scroll down to the 8/15 date.
Prominent Placement has been named one of the Top 300 Small Businesses of the South by Business Leader Media.

This is the third and final post on our notes from the AiMA/SEMPO Social Impact on Search event. First up is a very interesting account from the VP of E-Business for Newell Rubbermaid, followed by a summary of the Q+A at the end of the event.
Bert DuMars, Newell Rubbermaid
It’s not common for brands to allow reviews on their websites. One example from Newell Rubbermaid’s experience was working for two years on a product launch which allowed customer reviews to be posted to their site. There were seven immediate responses; five of them were negative. While this was an uncomfortable start, he said it really helped them make immediate product improvements.
