The New AdMastery.biz Blog

I've now been posting to the AdMastery.biz blog for several days.  My plan is to have some fresh there every two or three days, maybe three times per week.

The new blog is very different from the old one I used to run on Internet marketing matters a couple of years ago.  For one thing I've learned a lot since then and my many months away from the keyboard due to illness gave me chance to reflect.

So I'll be putting up material on a wide variety of  subjects. So far two of the posts have been about books (available through Amazon).  They've not all been about the Internet, but they're all relevant to doing business in a changing world regardless of whether it's electronic or bricks and mortar.

So on we go.  There's more to come.

Watch out on Wednesday.

The Web 1994-2011

No, the dates above are not a total lifespan. The web hasn't died.  I found this timeline entitled The Evolution of the Web quite fascinating, and beautifully constructed and coloured. 

Looking back to 1994/5, when I first used the Mosaic browser and then later migrated across to Netscape, I was a little surprised to see the degree to which the heart of the web technology was developed in the early years, and that most of what has followed is "bells and whistles".

Interestingly, there's quite a cluster of developments shown in 2008-11 but I wonder, with the benefit of hindsight in ten years' time, how many of them will feature as important long-term.

 

[By the way, the AdMastery blog is now almost ready for relaunch].

More on The-Fuchsia-File

Yesterday morning I spent quite a lot of time working on the-fuchsia-file site. I think it's now considerably improved, although much of what I did won't be immediately obvious. The benefits will come later in the form of easier navigation as the site grows.

It was pleasing to find that for some of my target keywords (example Fuchsia 'Carmel Blue') we're on the front page of search results on Google, Yahoo and Bing. Of course, there's still a long way to go to get there for some of the more popular search terms, but I'm pleased as Fuchsia 'Carmel Blue' is one of my favourites.

A variety I've grown for the first time this year is Fuchsia 'Spion Kop'. The picture below reminds me that I didn't do a very good job of shaping the bush early in the season but as I say, it's a first time and I'll know better next year.
