With so many people parroting the publishers homage to creating killer content…..and in light of all of the major search engines changes over the past few weeks related to QUALITY content, I was noodling around a bit this morning looking for some ideas for an article I was planning on writing……and came across the surprising essay below, by none other than Bill Gates, back in 1996……where he seemed to have  [read more →]]]> http://karmicconsulting.net/2011/03/15/is-content-really-king-and-the-surprising-source-of-the-saying-as-well/feed/ 0 http://karmicconsulting.net/2008/11/12/my-favorite-bum-marketer/ http://karmicconsulting.net/2008/11/12/my-favorite-bum-marketer/#comments Wed, 12 Nov 2008 07:02:30 +0000 ian http://karmicconsulting.net/2008/11/12/my-favorite-bum-marketer/ http://karmicconsulting.net/2008/11/12/my-favorite-bum-marketer/feed/ 6 http://karmicconsulting.net/2008/10/15/pay-per-click-marketing-mistakes-their-signs-are-good-and-their-beds-are-soft/ http://karmicconsulting.net/2008/10/15/pay-per-click-marketing-mistakes-their-signs-are-good-and-their-beds-are-soft/#comments Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:45:14 +0000 ian http://karmicconsulting.net/2008/10/15/pay-per-click-marketing-mistakes-their-signs-are-good-and-their-beds-are-soft/ But their pay per click strategy sucks.
