Chris Abraham, Cindy Crescenzo, and Steve Farnsworth join host Shel Holtz to talk about Breitbart News’ call for a boycott of Kellogg’s after the cereal company pulled its ads, the suggestion that we should stop measuring employee engagement, PR’s ability to propel Virtual Reality into the mainstream, the need for brands and agencies to adapt to a voice-driven world (with Amazon Echo and Google Home becoming new means of searching and engaging), the latest from the fake news front, and much more.

Search isn’t about search anymore, it’s about social

Search isn’t about search anymore, it’s about social

What does Google want? Google wants to know that you, the site owners and employees, and your community, your prospects, current, and past customers, are engaged in the success of the store. This is in response to people’s time, talent, and treasure being spent more on automated systems, advertising, link-buying, and savvy inbound marketing programs than on doing what brick and mortar businesses have been doing for generations: community-engagement.

What content to blog for Google success

What content to blog for Google success

What to Write? It’s diabolically simple. I have at least a dozen topics that you can write immediately. And, even better, all of these posts will most certainly be as germane and bespoke to you and your business. What’s more, they will be just about as evergreen as you’re likely to ever get. And it’s so simple you’re going to kick yourself.

Populism 2017 — stop trying to appeal to your Headmaster or the Yale Law Journal, the future’s in that other bubble, a bubble where your choice of words and how you write them color your writing as much as does the content.

Only Put Water into Your Body in this Adapted Water Fast

I have never posted an infographic until today but this one is really smart: while a water-only fast can surely do amazing things to cleanse your body, it's also has some potentially dangerous side-effects.

SEO + Social = ORM

SEO + Social = ORM

The goal of a successful online reputation management campaign is to own as many search results as you can — own, not just news about you — across the first two pages of Google search.

Search + Social = Online Reputation Management

Search + Social = Online Reputation Management

I have been doing online reputation management (ORM) for clients since 2003. There’s one thing that everyone who comes to my door has in common, whether it was for NMS, Abraham Harrison, Reputation.com, Gerris, or for Status Labs: too little content online!

FitBit Surge gypped me on steps so I added a Zip

FitBit Surge gypped me on steps so I added a Zip

I do most of all of my daily steps on my LifeSpan Treadmill Desk DT-5. Since I am working on this desk all day, I am oftentimes leaning over a little, putting pressure on the built-in arms pads with my arms, and typing, typing, typing, isolating my movements so that I can focus on writing emails, contracts, proposals and hours client service work.
