Here's a great idea. What if your new rock group appeals to fans of the B52s? Or if your new book is just perfect for people who like Brad Meltzer? If you have a CD or a book or an idea that will appeal to a certain psychographic, it might not be so easy to reach just those people. Dave came up with a super idea: go buy a bunch of B52s CDs. Then list ...

Both should work as of now, and if any more SERP changes happen we will try to update the extensions as soon as possible.

After hinting that it would do so last June, Google’s mobile team has released a Geolocation API for Google Gears. This works both on mobile phones and laptops running Gears, but developers will find it most useful for mobile applications. Unfortunately, they will be limited in that regard because Google Gears Mobile still only works on Windows Mobile phones, even though an Android phone is about to launch.

So far in this series, we’ve discussed why testimonials are so powerful, how to collect testimonials with my “SPURF” system, and 10 ways to make your testimonials work harder. But what if you don’t have testimonials? What if you need other ways to give your credibility a boost? No problem. Yes, testimonials are a great way to support and prove the claims in your copy. They also engage the “bandwagon” effect–the more people doing it, ...

Nothing compares to the social proof that comes with a customer who has used your product vouching for it. The more raw and natural the testimony the more effective.Getting real customer testimonies is as easy as approaching thought leaders or early adopters. Off them a free copy of the product if they agree to provide testimony.There testimony is to be honest event if negative & for their effort they can have a free product.I ask them to pay for the product up front as collateral until you get the testimony. Once the testimony is received you refund their money.This serves as a double purpose in that if they product is well received and the testimonies are good you publish them.If the testimonies are negative you don't publish them but use the feedback, Its valuable research & depending on the price of the product worth every cent for having given it away.This works best with low value items & info products. High value items it wont work for.

Last June we got a sneak peek at nrme, a location-based message service for the iPhone. The service behaves like a regional Twitter, but is geared towards sharing information rather than chatting - it’s sort of like a neighborhood bulletin board in the cloud. Instead of using a follow system, nrme makes all messages public to users within a 9 block radius (users can still private message each other if they’d like). Today, the app ...

The real estate slump may still be helping to drag down the economy, but real-estate sites like Trulia and Zillow seem to be holding up just fine. In fact, the number of monthly unique visitors to Trulia has more than doubled to 2.4 million over the past year, according to comScore. Zillow, in contrast, remained steady at 1.9 million U.S. uniques in July. The strength of these real estate sites in a down market makes ...

Filed under: Digital Cameras Last we heard from Ricoh, they were erecting enviro-friendly billboards in New York. Now that that's done with, Ricoh is back in the camera game with the R10. This shooter sports a 10-megapixel sensor, and 28-200 wide-angle 7.1x zoom lens, 3-inch HVGA LCD screen, CCD-shift image stabilizer, and in-camera image editing. Some of its more esoteric features include an adjustable flash intensity, electronic level to match up with horizons, and easy ...
