With oodles of data available at our fingertips, we online marketers need to tweak each step in the marketing process in order to deliver the best results we can, […]
Why #SESNY Is A Big Deal To Me
Ah, it’s New York City in mid March. Winter is letting go, surrendering its fickle East Coast grasp and there is a delightful hint of spring in the air. It’s an amazing time to stroll Central Park, browse current MOMA exhibits, watch local “wildlife,” catch some incredible jazz at Birdland, Iridium or The Village Vanguard.

Manage Like You’re Dying: A Humbled Entrepreneur’s Reflections
We’ve all heard the expression “live like you’re dying.” I’ve experienced that first hand and it’s colored my experience founding AIMCLEAR, in profound and beautiful ways. This post is dedicated to our special friend who’s currently kicking cancer’s butt. I started AIMCLEAR on the heels of surviving Lymphoma stage 3B, still handling the effects of […]
Search Insider Summit, A Sweet Journey Home
Early this morning, as we made our way down the The St. Regis Deer Valley Hotel’s scenic funicular to begin the journey home, I was moved by Park City Utah’s stunning mountain terrain by dawn’s snowy light. The romantic mood was fitting, especially given my gratitude for the experience of speaking yesterday at MediaPost’s prestigious […]
The Lost Marty Weintraub Rockstar Videos

Good Morning SMX Advanced, Seattle 2010!
The sun has barely risen over downtown Seattle and, uncharacteristically, there’s not a single cloud in the 5:30 AM sky.

What Are You Thankful For? Rad’ Peep ReTweets
I’ve been watching TweetDeck all morning for the real-time search “thankful.” Feeling extremely grateful, I asked a couple a’ thousand of our closest friends what exactly they were thankful for. Some of the answers from tweeps were warm and touching. We found some snarky-ass results in Twitter search segment SERPs, which we grabbed to RT-share […]
Today’s Affirmations For This Search Marketer
The wind whistles howling, this blustery Canal Park morning, 7:20 AM. The water churns brown, surface licking little whitecaps, tinted iron ore agitated by waves. There’s going to be snow south of us along the Shores of Lake Superior today, hazardous travel they say. It’s about 43 degrees Fahrenheit outside but I’m good. Each year […]
