Today we are launching our SEO toolbar for Google’s Chrome browser. This sexy beast is full to the brim with SEO insight and time-saving SEO goodness. This free add-on is ripe for picking and available for download right this second.
Ask and Ye Shall Receive
Whether it’s from Twitter, Facebook, email or comments here on the blog, almost every day we get some sort of request for a Chrome Toolbar. We knew there was a high need for it, and wanted to make sure that we didn’t rush and put together something unmozworthy. The new toolbar is pretty baller if I do say so myself (which I just did). It works very similarly to a toolbar in Firefox where it displays across the top of the screen, but with the ability to easily drop it down to the bottom of the page as well.

For consumer product businesses on the Web, managing data can often be difficult because of all the data constituents involved (Marketing, IT, Operations and all the sub-managers under each).
Search engine optimization needs to be accounted for as part of your data architecture planning. Whether you are dealing with inventory, classifieds, information, etc., there are ways to manage your product data to better optimize your SEO efforts. Managing product data is often at the intersection of Marketing and IT Infrastructure.
I often refer to this as your “Markestructure.” Your Markestructure can be evaluated in more ways than just enhancing SEO efforts, such as CRM, customer acquisition, data hygiene, etc. But for this post, I will focus on four major ways to manage your product data (as part of your Markestructure) for SEO. … Read the rest

Making More Money With Affiliate Marketing
Whether you are using performance-based cost-per-action affiliate networks or regular pay-per-click, the trick to making more money lies in how much traffic you can attract to those offers. Internet marketers understand that is isn’t just a simple case of getting the highest earnings-per-click (EPC) offer, it’s also about understanding how to attract highly targeted traffic to these offers in large streams. If you are having a little bit of trouble generating the income you desire from affiliate marketing, think about implementing some of these traffic-generating strategies to amp up the performance and your final payout.
