A Geek’s Perspective

When my buddy asked if I was interested in having a wordpress.com blog, at first I told him no. I already have two blogs and one of them gets ignored pretty regularly. If I didn’t have something at least seamingly interesting to write about, why even start. It would just sit on my list of things to “get around to” and would be more of a burden than anything else.

“What to do with another blog?” was the question that ran through my head for a couple days. Then, sitting at work it hit me. I’ll explain in a sec. First, some backstory…

For those of you who don’t know me, I recently got moved back to the marketing side of our business after being on the tech side for quite a while. My job is to find ways to drive traffic to sites through the creation of content portals. The portals need to generate repeat traffic by having solid content that is updated on a regular basis. I have a copywriter who is writing our own content which we posting and syndicating. I’m also looking in to every sort of free, but relavent, links I can get from other sites… Plus, pretty much any other sort of “technical” marketing angle I can come up with… thus the answer to the main question… “I’ll blog about ways to market web sites for newcomers.”

So welcome. I hope I’m able to help you reach your marketing goals! Or, at least push you in the right direction…
