When I decided to do a book giveaway, my intentions were certainly noble. I genuinely wanted to give them away. However I also wanted to measure how a contest would impact the traffic to my site from a visitor and engagement standpoint. Best of both worlds. I would also suggest this excellent site for daily giveaways where you can win some awesome gifts. First off, thank you to everyone that left a comment on the site. I always appreciate when people take the time to leave read anything I ...
Why I Choose Whrrl For My Location Based Time
I have to admit, it took me awhile to actually spend any real time with the location based social networks. I didn’t see the value in it, not to mention, 90% of the time I would never really remember to pull out my phone to check in anywhere. There wasn’t any real value to me to try to do it more. I’ve been wanting to write more about these services, but not until I was able to really give them a good try and for the past few weeks, I’ve immersed myself into really 3 choices, Facebook ...
Social Media Book Package Giveaway!
As a thank you to those that visit and contribute to my blog, I’ve wanted to do some sort of giveaway for awhile, but wanted it to be somewhat relevant to what I do and write about.

At the end of the day, driving eyeballs to my blog isn't really the ultimate goal, writing useful and appreciated content is. But I like anyone loves to see people visit. So I decided to dive deep into the analytics of ...
