Fireboard has an RSS Feed

ltdraper — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:00:00 +0100

I should have known this, but Fireboard has an RSS feed. If you had subscribed to the feed in our PMS Social Suite forum, you would have heard about this cool new planned feature.

You would also be able to see new features planned for our next release, which will include items 414, 409, 378, 411, 412, 408, and 358. No ETA, but 90% of this is working on our dev s [...]

Social Suite Beta Test Conclusions and Completion

admin — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 22:00:00 +0100

I'd like to thank everyone for their testing on the Social Suite with Digg Analytics and Automation. It was, well, interesting. I've done a lot of beta testing inside client sites but haven't really released a program into the wild since before the internet. (Remember FidoNet and shareware distribution? Yikes!)

At the end of the day we decided that it was usable enoug [...]

Digg Death Penalty for Promote My Site

admin — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 22:00:00 +0100

Digg hung our blog and buried it in a pauper's field without a trial and with no review. That's not the "wisdom of the crowd" or "social peer pressure" - it is French Revolution style mob rule. (I thought the line was "Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition!")

Our Digg Genesis

We started off reading and "digg [...]

Whois Promote-My-Site Defensive Posting

admin — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 22:00:00 +0100

[Bump and update: two hours after posting and we have the number one slot for our own whois search. Neat.]

This is not yet another weary re-telling of the Google Blogscoped article on whois this morning. I am sure our readership has an almost 100% overlap with the blogscoped guys. I am also sure that at least a few "SEO Bloggers" will duplicate the articl [...]

Introducing a Social Heartbeat Monitor for more than 2,000 Social Network and Social Bookmark Sites

admin — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:00:00 +0100

We're taking down the downloadable list of 2,162 social bookmarking and networking sites and replacing it with an interactive analytical tool that gives you a lot more information and display control. It will let you see the heartbeat for any social bookmarking or networking site. Thus, in a fit of imagination, we called this [...]

Speaking Of Needing A Utility To See if Your Site is Down

admin — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 21:00:00 +0100

Well, when I wrote about this handy utility to see if your site was really down, little did I know that I'd really need to know it right away:

Hmmm, could it be the hosting company:

Well, yes it is. I am soooo disappointed in cari.net right now - year [...]

From Stinky Pig to PR3 Tiger in Four Months

admin — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 21:00:00 +0100

On November 1, 2007 we launched Promote My Site and on November 8th we figured out that Google Hated Us and on February 29th 2008 we woke up to find our site was now a PR3. How did we do that?

Tiger?

Well, ok, maybe a bear cub. But it feels very tigerish to go from the sandbox to having almost every page on your site in google's primary index. &nbs [...]

SEO Tools or SEO Content

admin — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 21:00:00 +0100

This is a really interesting question. The two primary places I go to learn tips and tricks in the SEO world are the guys over at SEOMoz (disclaimer: we subscribe) and Aaron Wall of SEOBook fame. Ok, I have a bit of a crush on John Chow's business model and I think ShoeMoney, Dosh Dosh and a buncha others are awesome too.

Tools with Content the Key

But Rand and Aaron are also tool providers. But they're pretty clearly tool providers who are monetizing ot [...]

Free SEO Tools are the Traffic Gift that Keeps On Giving

admin — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 21:00:00 +0100

When we launched Promote My Site we had a pretty narrowly defined target market in mind - people interested in SEO tools that produce actionable reports or measurable ROI. And we knew that we wanted to spend some time blogging about business and SEO and VC -w e wanted to introduce ourselves first, as it were. And we knew we wanted to review some non-competitive SEO tools so that fu [...]

Promote My Site With a Hamster or a Gerbil

admin — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 21:00:00 +0100

Ok, not really, but a few days ago I noted that we'd learned a lot of things the first few days after we launched Digg Friend Finder, and that one of them was that there were a lot more mentions of hamsters than gerbils in digg.

So several hundred people have run the exact same experiment.

I have only one thing to say... Our paypal address is

paypal-payments@promote-my-site.com

I'm just saying.

Impending Free Product Launch

admin — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Everyone loves free, but not me. So when someone came up with a relatively easy to implement product we had two choices:

Put it on the post-launch list and get to it in a few months
Give it away for free now

Well, I don't believe in free, so we'll be 'giving' away this service, but there will be ads on the pages around this service. Not because a few thousand people seeing a page with advertising is going to generate major operating income, but because who can tr [...]

Business News Driving Relationships

admin — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0100

Not the WSJ, though I love the freeness of it after 25 years of subscriptions - that is $5K in today's dollars! No, I mean reading the local business journal of your area. And we make it a habit to subscribe to the online business news where our clients are based.

At Promote-My-Site we're not an SEO company, though we are building a tool for people who want to use social media sites more effectively. But this is the newest part of our business and we have clients and partners scattere [...]
